BURGESS
BEDTIME
STORIES
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
How Peter Knew the Way Was
Clear

The patient one will be the winner.
Peter Rabbit.
1t was long night that night
Peter Rabbit spent in the hole into
which Yowler the Bob Cat had driv-
en- him. 1t seemed to him that it
never would end. Time after time
he made up his mind to start for
home, but each time before he could
poke his head outside that hole his
courage left him. He could shut his
eyes and just see Vow waiting to
spring on him. AS matter Of fact,
Yowler was nowhere about. He had
waited a little while after driving
Peter into that hole, and then gone
off to look for a dinner elsewhere.
But, of course, Peter had no way
of knowing this and so at last he
had made up his mind to stay right
where he was all night. "Yowler

he does the night thought Peter
when daylight comes he probably
will go home to sleep. I don't like
travelling by daylight myself, but I
guess it will be the wisest thing to
do this time 81.
So Peter remained in that hole all
night. Toward morning he took a
nap. When he awoke he could see
the light creeping in at the entrance
to that hole. At once he started up
toward the entrance, intending to
start for the dear Old Briar Patch.
But when he reached the entrance he:
stopped. He remembered that Vow
Ter often does prowl around in day
time. 1t would be just like him to
guess that he, Peter, would not dare
come out until daylight. He might
he hiding there that very minute.
So all Peters fears returned and
he was no better off than before. He
didn't dare poke his head outside.
So he sat just inside the entrance
and looked out longingly. How am
l ever to know when the way is
clear?" said he mournfully. "How-
ever will I get up courage enough to
start?' But to this there was no
answer.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

with sufficient rapidity to furnish
any considerable amount of fall
grazing. 1t is true that Burr clover,
ii seeded sufficiently early, will make
some grazing for the spring months.
From our experience, very little graz
ing is obtained from crimson clover
the first year after it is planted. In
any event, it cannot be grazed to
heavily without danger of destroy
ing the stand.
Under the circumstances, the best
thing for you to do is to advocate
rye as early as practicable. The
Abruzzi rye is very satisfactory for
this purpose. The south Georgia rye
is also an early strain. The varie-
ties may be grazed if a favorable
condition pertains as early as the
first of October. In our experience
here a season favorable to starting
this crop has seldom pertained be-
fore October /. Naturally, we would
plant a part of the land to rye, a
part to oats and part to wheat.
This would help to provide a sue
cession of grazing. This constitutes
the cheapest grazing your people
can hope to have for fall, winter
and early spring. In hard times
these crops may be relied on alone.
When people feel more prosperous,
some crimson clover or hairy vetch
can be added to each planting to
advantage. We have used, for in.
stance, bushel of rye, oats or wheat
with ten or twelve pounds of GRIM
son clover on many occasions. At
other times we have added ten
pounds of vecth to this mixture as
well. On other occasions we have
used the vetch alone at the $50 of
fifteen to twenty pounds per acre.
We are advised that vetch seed is
very scarce, and will be unusually
high. We judge, therefore, that
about the only bottom making crop
you can use this fall would be GRIM
son clover. Most of our people
make the mistake of deferring the
of their land or this
crop until entirely too late in the
season. Now is the time to get
the soil in shape. The land may be
fallowed, kept free of weeds and
moisture accumulation so that the
early planting Of the crop may be
insured.

SHE DARKENED
HER GRAY HAIR
Tells How She Did 1t With a Home
Made Remedy


Mrs. E. II. Boots, well known
resident of Buchanan County, Ia,
who darkened her gray hair, made
the following statement:
Amy lady or gentleman can dar-
ken their gray or faded hair. and
make it soft and glossy with this
simple remedy, which they can mix
at home. To half pint of water
add 1 ounce of bay rum, one small
box of Barbo Compound and n ounce
of glycerine. These ingredients can
be purchased at any drug store at
very little cost. Apply to the hair
every other day until the gray hair is
darkened sufficiently. 1t does not
color the scalp, is not greasy and
does not rub off. 1t will make a
gray-haired person look twenty years
younger. ADVERTISEMENT

Growing Cabbage Plants i'm
