AS for raw materials, they say the
original producer has been put on a
safe financial standing and will not
be scared into cutting down his
prices. He will hold for what he
thinks is right. He will even reduce
his crops, if he deems it necessary
He is not at the mercy of the buyer
He knows, moreover, that the world s

Mr.. Rice left the car parked in front

three new tires had been fitted. He
was saving up wedding fees, too, he
says, so that he could get the fourth

On returning to his car Parson Rice

brand-new tire for the old one.

TREATING WRINKLES.

~ UTE a number of readers have
~ written to me lately, asking why
wrinkles come so soon under the eyes,
and what can be done to remove
them. In most cases, these were the
only wrinkles on the face.
Wrinkles under the eyes rarely de-
note age, so the woman who anXiously
watches for that proverbial crowsfoot
that means the passing of youth, need
not worry much about the tiny creases
that come beneath the eye. In many
cases, these wrinkles are the result
of habit of squirting the eye when
laughing, and together with the lines
radiating from the end of the eye,
are called Laughing wrinkles" You

BEST PRACTICE IN FLOWING
According to Minnesota Expert II 10
Best to Deepen burrows Gradu-

The nature Of the soil and the crop
to be grown should determine the ques-

problems, the farm operators judg-
ment and experience must be called
into play in determining which prac-
tice is best on any farm.
Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota experiment station, believes
that deep burrows turned on edge, or

Wherever there are green fields,

tural college, who has conducted the

FALLAClOUS IDEA OF SHEEP
Animals VIII Consume More Weeds
and Shrubs Than Other Animals,
but Need Some Feed.

Many farmers who have failed with
sheep have zone into the business with
the fallacious idea that sheep will eat
anything. simply because some misIn-
formed person started the tale. Sheep
will consume more weeds and shrubs
than any other class Of animals, but to
turn them into the woodlot and expect
them to thrive on sprouts and dry
leaves is asking too much OF their d.
gestive systems. However, there Is
usually waste land on most farms on
which the sheep may be kept at certain
periods Of the year very pr0fitably.

Good clover crops lie at the founda-

farms good clover crops can not be
produced without lime, but lime alone
will not permanently help the situa-

Well, we were playing, and l stood on

man, to make him ring his bell. On
came the car, with the bell changing,
and the man in blue looking very
