The bow kite may be made into a
diamond kite by emitting the bow and
using string as indicated at K.
Hanging the kite is the most diff
cult part of making II. Success all
depends upon the center OF gravity
shown at a. This must be found By
balancing the kite In the oblong
kite it will be in the middle but the
bow kite must be laid upon its back
and a piece of wood pushed under it
at right angles with the long stick
and the Kite lifted up and moved back
and forth until il balances on the stick
which means that there IS Just about
as much surface of the kite above the
center OF gravity as below. If the kite
is hung so the string pulls a little
above that point as at the bottom
of the kite would be pushed up by the
wind striking against it, bat the pur-
pose OF the tail is to resist this and
hold the. kite at right angles to the
wind where It will remain steadily
which place 1t will take automatically
There must be four points holding
each kite as indicated. To hang the
kite tie the ends of the loop to the
frame at about the points indicated
by < on each kite. They must all be
equally tight when the kite Is picked
up by them. Be sure they are brought
together in the center OF the. width
at and above the center Of gravity
as at b. in these kites about 8" or So.
The tail may be made of paper or
OF rags and its correct weight can be
found only by trial. II the kite goes

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill

applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real

According to sworn statements and

SEED CLOVER ON STUMP LAND
Timothy and Clover Sown in April
Should Blossom In August-Sow
EarIv.

Seeding of clover, timothy and blue
grass in the cutover lands of northern
Minnesota not to be stumped this sea-
son, is advocated by M. J. Thompson.
superintendent of the Northeast Elk
pertinent Station and University OF
Minnesota land clearing specialist, as
means of conserving labor spent In
brushing and clearing the land. Prob
ably more land was brushed and close
cut in northern Minnesota last tall
and winter than ever before, he says.
and unless this land is to be stumped,
six pounds to the acre, half of 1t Glow
er, preferably alsike, should be sown
between the stumps in April.
"Scattering the seed on the snow Is
wasteful, but get on the land as soon
as possible after the snow leaves" he
advises. IF possible stir what you
can on the land between the stumps
with an "A" harrow, one section OF
spring tooth, disk, or a brush mar
row. The labor is well repaid by the
better seed bed secured.
"Timothy and clover, sown in April,
should blossom in August. Let it ripen
and reseed the remainder of the land.
Pasture lightly, if at all, the first sea-
son. After the snow is gone and be-
fore field work starts in April is an
excellent time to brush land. At this
time the ground is wet enough to pre-
vent spread of fire and the brush is
dry enough to burn. A careful farmer
will clean up his old meadows and
brush piles at this time"

MAINTAIN COMBINATION OF
CROPS AND LIVESTOCK

"The matter of reducing the crop
acreage and determining the crops to
grow is in reality an individual mat
ter" says Andrew Boss, vice director
Of the Minnesota Experiment station
at University Farm. "Most Farmers
will decide for themselves which crop
they can best limit. Crops must al
ways be fitted to the markets, the live
stock to be fed, and the labor supply
available to grow the crops. When q
good combination has been found for
a certain farm it is best to equip for
it and follow that combination of crops
and livestock through a period OF
years. The emphasis may be placed
on different crops in different seasons.
but the combination should not be
radically changed. .1aH@ "a -. n,
"The labor demands Of the crops
and livestock must be fitted to the
labor supply of the farms. Where the
labor supply is limited, it is we'll to
limit the acres Of cultivated crops be-
cause these take more hours of horse
and man labor than do the grain and
grass crops It Is not so much q
question of reducing the corn acreage
as it Is Of suiting the acreage Of each
crop to the farm needs, the labor sup.
ply and the market probabilities.
