you would hear the Meditation from
'Thais" at all, which would be a
blessed relief, now, wouldn't 1t?

i get all "enthused" about water
melons and cucumbers, even cabbages,
when 1 read this mans catalogue,
which was written every word of It,
by himself, or I miss my guess.
This is good reading, this cata-
logue. just for that very reason. Here
you have a man who has worked
with and loved his seeds for many
years. He gets as enthusiastic over a
new cabbage as an artist does over
his latest production.
When d man has enthusiasm and
takes his pen In hand to talk about
something he loves, the result is very
likely to be worth reading.
All literature" of course is not
confined to Emerson and Lougfellow
and the rest. man is turning out
some real writing when he makes
popcorn stand out, as follows:
"A couple of boys L know had va
cant lot planted to Baby Golden pop
corn, and they raised 500 pounds
which they sold at cents a pound
clearing them just S25. Now, wouldn't
you like to do that?
Baby Golden is the daintiest, pret-
tiest little ear you ever saw. II Is not
only pretty, but IL pops fine. There
are no hard hulls and every grain
pops. 1t has the sharp pointed grains
just like Little Giant-in fact, IL is
just like it except in color. Both poI
out snowy white"
AS for watermelons, / have an am
bition To plant some seed in the cor
ner of my back yard, after reading
about the Colorado Kleckley Sweet
The seedman writes: Il happen &c
have d failing for melons and 1 be

quicker than any one else"
AS for flowers, this man loves them
too. Il believe if / were limited to
just one flower for my own growing

1T has absolutely no insect enemie!
Land no diseases. 1t is beautiful
either growing or picked. 1t bloom:
for three months steady. and, best o.

soil, any weather and for any one

Higher mathematics is abstruse. bur
so Is higher farming. Listen to wha
he says. advocating the planting o.
sweet clover this year: -
The land is in Winter wheat now
and We are going to SOW this alfalfa
and sweet clover right on the Winter
wheat. along in March. just the same
as you would seed red clover.
IF we get a good patch, as we are
practically certain to do, We Will pas,
ture IL with hogs this Fall, and ther
next Summer we will pasture the
sweet clover until about the first OF
June and then take the hogs off and
cut a hay crop or a seed crop from
the sweet clover and plow IL under
in. the Fall. to be followed BIZ corn
THE alfalfa We expect to keeT
permanently for hog pasture. but We
will pasture il light enough so thai
we can also cut hay of from il, which

That is almost Greek TO me. be.
real farm was a railroad train; but
! like TO read about II, anyway.
1t makes us city fellers feel that
the big. stable foundation of this
country. agriculture, is in good
hands. Once in while one hears some
yap in city speak ill of the farmers
but most people In cities have enough
sense to love the men and women or
the farm.

folks we take off our hats to you and
envy you your spotted hogs and the
baby chicks and all the other thing:
We miss. Best luck,
