Agricultural Notes

Sheep are gradually coming back.
.
Coal ashes have practically no
value as a plant food.
Keep the manure hauled out if you
would hold the flies down in the sum-
mer.
Some weed seeds can live as long
as twenty-five years under favorable
conditions.
Most farmers should value their
time at from one-half cent to one
cent a minute.
Buckwheat will do well on the
same land two years in succession if
the land is reasonably fertile.
On soils long under cultivation
highest yields are possible only when
rotation and the use of fertilizers are
practiced together.
One of the most profitable forms of
permanent Improvement on a farm
is to drain the low, wet places in
otherwise entirely tillable fields.
Loafing hens in the farm flock eat
up the profits the busy biddies make.
Good poultrymen keep them just long
enough to consign them to a poultry
dealer.

Famous Richn,onds

Richmond is the name of three we'll
known places. Richmond, in York
shire, England, is noted for its fine

1t is a place of great natural beauty.
Richmond, in Surrey, England, was
formerly called Skene. The view over
the Thames is celebrated. The capt.

Give Automobile Brakes
Most Careful Attention

1t will pay motorists to test their
brakes every day after taking the
car out of the garage. 1t isn't being
oyer-cautIous to apply them within the
first block, whether it is necessary or
not, just to determine that nothing has
gone wrong since the car was last
used. 1t may mean the difference be-
tween life and death some day, and
the test thus may be regarded as a
ramification Of the definition of ma
lures first law Of self-preservation.

Radiator Whistle Gives
Warning to the Driver

Your motor always seems to over
heat and start boiling the water, If
you have the misfortune to have 1t
happen at all, at night when you
can't see the thermometer on the radi-
ator, or when, in the daytime, your
attention is concentrated on the road
or the scenery.
OF course, If you are going slowly
in traffic the escaping steam will rise
to warn you of trouble, but when you
are travelling fast, you may not notice
that something is wrong until serious

Clutch on New Car Apt
to Grab More Abruptly

The clutch on a new car is likely
to work a little more abruptly than
one on a car that has been broken in.
The plates on the new clutch take
hold so gently during the first stage
of clutching that the driver imagines
they are not taking hold at all. He
may then let the pedal back through
it's final engagement much too sud-
denly. When the clutch is older its
plates grab little more. The driver
notices the engagement of the clutch
taking effect sooner and thus is more
careful during the final release of the
pedal.

PRESERVING GAME SHELTER

Give the wild animals and birds
a chance in the states natural
game shelters, S. F. Rathbun,
state game supervisor is urging.
There are large areas not yet
needed in the states development
which provide ideal breeding spots
for wild birds and Supervisor
Rathbun has advised county au-
thorities to see that the game is
interferred with as little as pos
sible in such spots.
The states game birds in the
Steilacoom and Walla Walla hatch
cries have been carefully checked
over four times during the winter
and an unusually fine stock is
left on hand. Supervisor Rathbun
expects to equal or exceed last
years record of 1900 Chinese
pheasants Matched at the state
farms. In addition he has 80 Hun
garian pheasants ready to lay this
year and will get start toward
increasing the output of Huns.
There also will be a distribution
of wild turkeys but the areas in
which wild turkeys will do well,
are limited.

PENNIES IN THE BOX

Pm Uncle Sans most favored pet,
I'm hearty and I'm hale;
I've nothing in this world to do
But glide round with the mail;
But one thing almost breaks my
heart,
And my nervous system shocks.
It's the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
1 carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and such
And / would like to sell a few
'Twould please me very much.
But man can't sell unless you buy,
No matter how he talks;
So have to keep on diving
After pennies in the box.
It's all right in the springtime,
Or when summer breezes blow;
But a different proposition
When it's thirty-two below;
When all your fingers and your
toes
Are frozen hard as rocks.
It's most anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box
And now, quite confidently,
I'll tell you something more;
A rural carrier (way out west)
Forgot himself and swore.
Says he: 81 can stand the snow
drifts.
/ can stand the frozen locks,
But blast the measley pennies
In the blasted measley box"
When the roll is called up yonder,
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let a mail man in
If they knew he'd learned to
swear. ~.
If you st. Peter to open the gate
When your rural carrier knocks.
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
Of putting pennies in the box.
We thank you

WHAT'S In A BOOK

L, too, like to read the magazines
and books of every kind,
From tales of gay New York to
stories about the Rhine.
But while my taste is varied, I'll
admit l am not prone
To peruse the old directory of the
local telephone.
But. when I long for pleasure and
want to have a time,
l go thru all my clothes in hopes
I'll find a dime.
Most always it is not there, you
can bet your life.
You see | am married. sir. and of
course l have a wife.
Then, oh the days, they are SO
long, how bitter to remember.
The coin l spent for Santa Claus
only last December.
/ might now have lot of dough
to spend for books and snuff
1t only / had not bought so darn
much Christmas stuff.
| sit and sigh, and cuss and cry
for about sixteen days.
Then | get me down to earth
again and consider various ways
10 raise some cash and buy more
food
To feed my ever hungry brood.
q
My thots are not of Monkey Ward
or Rears & Sawbuck. you see,
But straight / HE me to the bank
and tell it to L. E.
My heart it goes kerflop-kerflop
and now and then it jumps.
But, If | can't put my stuff across
I'm surely on the bumps.
l face him with trembly eye, my
head it is downcast.
But bravely on and on / go and
bare my wicked past.
He fixes me with CLASSY eye and
says with fiendish glee.
cts all very true, ] know. but
how about security"
"Alas, alac," I meekly moan, as
perceive his looks,
"My wealth consists, my dear sir,
in stacks and stacks of books.
