Summer Pastures

Sweet Sudan planted at the rate of
25 pounds per acre will supply need
ed grazing during the hot summer
and fall months. Seed bed prepare
ton is the same as hay crops. Flat
break the land and disk it thorough
ly and allow to settle. Then broadcast
seed and cover not over n inch
deep. Seed may be covered with a
section harrow if a pole or timber
is attached to harrow as a drag.
Harrow should be regulated with
the spikes turned completely back
ward. Fertilizer will increase the
yield and may be applied as is appli-
ed for oats. using about 80 pounds
of nitrogen which is equivalent to
100 pounds of ammonium nitrate
with 200 pounds of nitrate of soda
per acre. One acre of sweet Sudan
will provide grazing for one adult
animal from July l until late Sep
TENDER. Sweet Sudan is better than
the regular Sudan because animals
eat it better and it will not become
diseased as does the regular. Sudan
will not reseed itself.

A Tribute

There is a friend that sticketh clo-
ser than a brother.
W. like to think Of Mrs. Hosea as
such a friend.
Everyone that came in contact
with her, must now feel the influen-
&c she had over them for good. She
was the embodiment of kindness and
sympathy.
No child's sorrow was too small
to be unnoticed by her--no grown
ups problem too large but that she
helped by word or deed.
She had no children of her own,
yet there were numbers of children
who felt her motherly care. She was
always happy to have the little folks
visit her, and we mothers know how
much help she was to us in rearing
our children.
Her life was not all sunshine, she
had many sorrows, and was i'll for
years, yet she could always smile,
and you felt better after being with
her.
Her crown must shine with many
stars because of the deeds of service
through kindness and sympathy.
This makes a great 1ife--such was
hers.
$50 live, that when thy summons
comes to join the innumerable cara
van which moves to that mysterious
realm, where each shall take his
chamber in the silent halls of death,
thou 60 not like the quarry-slave at
night, scourged to his dungeon. but,
sustained and soothed by an unfal-
tering trust. Approach thy grave like
one that wraps the drapery of his
couch about him, and lies down to
pleasant dreams.
