Silas stared at the letter. His eyes
grew misty. He saw John again as a
little boy upon the farm; his heart
went out to him across the years.

mier Chautauqua, had a great person
al success during her recent tour Of
Sweden.
The Swedish Choral Society under
the direction of Mr.. Nelson of Chi
cago, chartered special ship to make
the trip to Sweden. The voyage was
extremely rough. Everyone arrived in
Sweden a trifle homesick. That was
soon forgotten.
In every city thousands lined the
streets. After arrival It always took
a good half hour to let the reception
committee have their say. Always
following that there was a great pa
rade.

ing appreciation. Here thousands Of
school children with Swedish flags
would line the streets. At another
place would be many bands and a
parade OF the military.
The tour lasted three months thru
40 forty cities.
At Stockholm Mr.. Nelson was
knighted. It was there too that Miss
Yer Haar sang for King Gustav and
was hailed by him as a superb singer
and "the most beautiful woman in
Sweden"

Cow Pasture

Cow Pasture
In another month or less it will be
time to seed tame grass pastures
Earlier than the first Of May it is g
little risky to seed as some grasses
are pretty susceptible to frost wher
Just starting and seed is likely to be
lost by sowing before all danger Of
frost Is past.
Grass seed is cheaper than usua
this spring. some seed houses quot
ing prices that make 1t possible to
SOW the maximum amount of seed
ever recommended at a cost of only
six or seven dollars per acre.
The time between now and the first
of May can be used to good advantage
to prepare the ground for grass seed
In doing this it should be remember
ed that the pasture is to stand for sew
eral years, or perhaps permanently
and that a little extra work in prepar
: ing the ground will save a great deal
of work in irrigating the pasture and
result in a better crop.
The best land on the farm is not
too good for grass. While rough poor
pieces of land may be used for pas
ture to good advantage. grass will not
give high returns on such land any
more than any other crop would do
Any ground on which alfalfa would be
grown is not too valuable for pasture
for an acre of good grass will furnish
as much feed as an acre Of alfalfa and
do it at less cost A farmer near
Olathe who has a good, small pasture
says it pays him better than any other
piece of ground of the same size on
his farm. For comparison, let 1t be
considered that an acre of alfalfa
yield tons of hay which will feed
carry two dairy cows for the pasture
of equally good grass pasture will
carrw two dairy cows for the pasture
season on May LIST to October LIST
which is equivalent to the returns
from the alfalfa with an advantage il
expense in favor of the pasture. II
addition, cows will probably do better
on pasture than when fed in a dry lot
and the maximum percentage of the
crop is returned directly without los:
and without cost to the soil in this
manure.
The State Agricultural College ad
vises very liberal seeding for the sake
of securing quick and full stand o
grass. The mixture recommended fol
ordinary land which is not seepy is a!
follows, the figures being pounds o
seed per acre: Orchard grass Is

II ground is properly prepared some
what less seed may give satisfactor,
results, but using insufficient seed o
poor seed is not economy. A ligh
nurse crop may be used which shoui'
be taken off OF the ground as soon q
cut. Almost continuous watering
from the time of seeding till tn
grass is established is vital as tn
seed cannot be covered deeply.
