Nine Months' Pasture. ,
That clover, timothy, and gras
ses of minor importance, can no
longer.be depended upon to meet
the demands of the live wire who
realizes that he is not getting
best returns from his business of
stockraising, needs no argument
from us. Every practical farm
er knows that if he would raise
stock economically, he must have
an abundance 'of good, green pas
ture from early spring until late
fall. But with the exhaustion of
the Bupply of lime in our soils
came the disappearance of clover.
With the disappearance of heavy
crops of clover came the impov
erishment of our land, so that
large acreage must now be given
over to the maintenance of the
necessary number of animals to
supply a family with meat milk,
and butter. But there is a rem
edy. The remedy leads to the
restoration of fertility. Those of
us who are willing to learn from
the experience of others, know
that there are plants, besides
those mentioned, that are capa
ble of sustaining more animals to
the acre than the meager growths
of clover that we now get, and
they help greatly to "patch out"
the season. To do justice to all
of them would require the writ
ing of a large book. We will be
content therefore, to write about
one at a time. We will take up
rape and see what it is. Rape is
a species of cabbage, and grows
anywhere that cabbage will grow.
The seed may be sown broadcast
soon as danger of frost is past
and harrowed in, it may be drill
ed, or it may be planted in rows
like any cultivated crop. Like
all plants, it grows best when
cultivated. The seed is small,
and from two to four pounds will
plant an acre at a cost of from
twenty to fifty cents. It pro
duces from ten tons of forage per
acre on poor land, to thirty tons
on good soil, About eight weeks
after seeding, it will be ready
for all kinds of farm animals-
including the chickens. Its chief
value, however, is realized when
it is used for hog pasture. By
sowing rye early in the fall for
early spring pasture, following
the rye by turning the herd into
the rape, and following the' rape
by letting them "hog" down"
some corn, with soybeans sown
in the corn at the last working,
pasture may be had from the
time rye made its first growth in
the spring until winter kills vege
tation. Indeed, there are days
on which shotes and sheep might
run on the rye in winter time.
While this article is intended
for those who would like to raise
more hogs, cattlemen may read
between the lines, because there
is half a score of other crops that
make pasture between seasons,
and some of them lead to soil im
provement Birthday Party.
Last Saturday evening the
home of Mr. Berkley Si pes near
Hustontown was the scene of a
very pretty social event held in
honor of their eldest daughter,
Miss Junie's seventeenth birth
day. We were furnished with music

Jessie Cutchall, which every one
enjoyed very much.
After which the guests were
served with ice cream, cake and
apples.
Then the young people assem
bled and played games until a
late hour, when they all prepared
to go to their respective homes,
wishing Miss Junie many more
happy birthdays. '

many useful and valuable pres
ents with which she is very much
pleased.

If every man who reads this
and every woman, too would
make it his or her business, the
next hour he or she has, to look
around the home premises and
see how it could be fixed up to
look better it would be a great
thing for this town. It might
not induce people to do any more
than rake up the sticks that are
lying around. That would be a
great help alone. But may be
while raking up the loose leaves
you would find there is a loose
board in the sidewalk, a broken
picket in the fence, that the cor
ner of the porch has sagged or
that the front steps need a new
plank in them. And, as you
would want to make a complete
job of it you would see that these
repairs are made. Maybe the
house has needed a new coat of
paint for a long time. Perhaps
new curtains are needed at the
front windows. And the inside
of the house is quite as import
ant as the outside is more im
portant for it is on the inside
you live and where visitors get
their, real impression of you and
of the town. Maybe before you
get through, if you will really
look about you, there will be sev
eral things that can be made to
look vastly better with the aid of
a few boards or nails or a little
varnish or a small expenditure of
money. Collectively the effect
on this town will be great There
is no economy in letting things
run down and putting repairs off.
A house that needs repairs is go
ing down hill; and a house that
is going down hill is losing value
value both in money and com
fort .Let's make this a better
looking town; and let's begin,
like charity, at home.

WHY
Get Sick?
It is easier to
keep well, and
costs you less.
The main thing is to pay
reasonable attention to
your diet, chase the pois
onous secretions out of
your system, avoid colds
and grippes, and take an
occasional tonic to keep the
blood flowing properly
through your arteries.
You'll find everything
you need right here at this
drug store, and often a few
cents will brace you up
and put the spring of life
into you.

Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. , There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price' for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me.
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano,
or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. Let's talk it over. '
