Answer ;-I doubt the possibil'lty of

as to get a cutting of hay next sum-
mer, I would advise you to disk it
up thoroughly and sow winter wheat.

6 lbs. per acro of timothy seed this
fall. Just before the snow goes away
in the spring make a second sowing of
clover seed, this of 2 lbs. Common
Red and 2 lbs, of Alsike to the acre.
After the seed is sown and the ground
has • dried sufficiently harrow the
ground with a light harrow, turning
the tenth of the harrow back. If the
machine is adjusted this will work
in the clover seed and give it a good
setting. So as to make sure of si good

potash. This is best done, of course,
through a grain drill which drops fer-
tilizer. If you do not have this, dis-
tribute fertilizer broadcast and ,,arrow
it into the ground just before you sow
the mixture this fall.
A. D,: -I am interested in seeding
alfalfa in the fall. Will you tell me
the best time to sow and how much
to the acre?
Answer: -If you hope „to vet a
seeding of alfalfa this fall no time
should be lost. Work the ground
(preferably summer fallow) into a
fine seed bed. Apply five or six loads
of well rotted manure to the acre if
you. have it and about
bot 300400 ]br'

of teh fertilizer, analyzing zit ng 3 to 4 per
cent, ammonia, 8 to 10 per cent. phos-
phoric acid and about 3 per cent.
potash, When this has been well har-
rowed into the soil, sow your alfalfa
seed at the rate of 15 to 18 lbs. to the
acre. Many people prefer using a
nurse crop such as rye or winter
wheat, sowing sante et the rate of
about a bushel per acre, claiming that
it protects the young alfalfa crop.
V. So: --I have a twelve.acr•olot butt
I would like to get seeded to alfalfa
or swept clover. Would iilce to sow it
to rye this fell, cowing about one -11010
bushel per veer•°, ttlxl then drill i11 seed
in the spring, J'he field has excellent
drainage imd soil is a sandy loan),
Would it be necessary to treat the
sweet clover to imsoro a stand?
Answer: -Most of your question 18
answered above. I would not advise
you to drill seed into a crop of rye
in 'the spring unless, you have drilled
the rye• this fall, and you were not
particularly anxious about the well-
being of the rye crop. In other words,
I ani afraid that the chilling will tend
to cut the roots of the rye. Be sure
to drill with the rows and not across,
I would advise you to write the Bac-
teriological Department at O.A.C. for
the culture .with which to: imioculate
the seed clover, Since your soil is
sandy learn, I am a little afraid that
it may Iack the proper bacterial fatn-
ily.which grows or. the roots ofsweet
clover; This treatment, along with
the fertilizer advised above, should
give you a good stand. -.
A. T.:-PIeaso give me information
on feeding value of rye and winter
vetch, cut green and cured as hay.
How much should I sow per acre, at
what stage should it be cul:, and is the
hay good for farm horses,? How much
should 1 feed? Please glee no: the
feeding ratio for farm horses and the
amount to feed of hay and oats to
light horses at work.
Answer: -Henry Wisconsin quotes
a report from Atlanta, Georgia, to the
effect that vetch and oat hay are
popular with liverymen. Duggar of
Alabama substituted 0 lbs. of hairy
vetch for 7 lbs. of wheat bran in feed-
ing dairy cattle and got equally good
results. In sowing a mixture of vetch
and oats use about 2 bushels
of rye
to the acre and as bushel of vetch.
This should be ready for the feeding
during the last week of April or the
first half of May. Feed sufficient to
supply the roughage in the average
ration. Henry quotes a ration of a
Washington 1200-1b. horse as: oats,
10 lbs.; corn, 5 lbs.; hay, 28 lbs. In
Chicago a ration for a 1.500 -lb. horse
working hard is: oats, 7'A lbs.; hay,
25 lbs,

"You seem to have been quite for-
tunate with that boy of yours," said
Mr. Pullen, who was lunching with a
friend at his club, "I wish you could
give ole,some points. I have a chap
five or six years younger, and he's al-
ready a problem. I am afraid that
the job of being a wise father is al-
most beyond me."
"Why don't you try ibeing a chum,
then?" asked Mr. Harmon. "When
Dick was about fifteen he got into a
foolish schoolboy scrape that resulted
in a bill for clanieges of ten dollars
or so, I knew nothing about 10 till
a week afterwards, when he came to
me, considerably embarrassed, and
made a clean breast of it.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I
asked,
"-'Well,' said Dick, 'I was in hopes
I could borrow the money from some
of my friends and pay a little at a
time without your knowing. ,But they
were all as hard up as I was.' '
-" 'Didn't you consider me as one of
your friends?' said I. While lie hesi-
tated an idea came to me. 'Well, Any-
way,' I said, 'I'd like to be one, from
now on. I. am still something of a
boy; and I'd• really like to have a chum
about your age.' Whet do you say?
Why can't we get together often and
talk over our affairs, including our
troubles and scrapes, if there are any,
-share our secrets, in fact, -just like
any other two boy friends?'
"At th:t Dick rather droned his
eyes. 'Do you mean, dad,' said he,
'that you will tell me all about What
you've been up` to, same as I'm to
tell you what I have?'
"Well, perhaps that wasn't ,lust the
way that I had thought of it.. I guess
that when I had spoken of our affairs
and our secrets I had really meant
That, new camera that I spoke to you
about -I'll get thong without that
now; and it will partly help to make
up the loss:
"Be had misunderstood me in one
particular, and I had to explain that
it was Jones who had lost, while I
had won,
" 'Oh!' said Dick; and I couldn't
help seeing that for the moment I had
risen somewhat in Luis estimation.
" 'But that snakes it worse,' I said.
'I can't keep the money, and yet I
don't know how to get rid of it.'
" 'Give it back to the man,' Dick
said.
" 'He wouldn't take it' I said.
"Dick thought a minute, and then
he said, 'If you tell the man how you
feel, perhaps he will take the money
back and give it to the Y.M.C.A, or
some other good object.
"Good logic or not, I acted on Dick's
advice. At first Jones scoffed at the
idea; but when I explained the situa-
tion and asked him to do it on the
boy's account, he finally tools the
money, and the Y,M.C.A, got a con-
tribution from 'a friend.'
" 'Now,' 1 said to Dick afterwards,
'I don't ask any promise from you,
because you were not the one at fault;
but I'll promise you that I'll never
,help pass away the time that way
again.'
"A few weeks later I met Jones.
'Bello!' he said. 'Want another tittle
game?'
" 'No thank you,' said 1,
" 'Well, you couldn't have it with
me if you did,' said he, 'I've quit that
for good. Fact is, I've got a young-
ster coming up; and it Occurred to me
, that if I could do something on ac-
count of your boy it was a pity I
couldn't do something on account of
, my oevn.'
"As for Dick acid Inc,' Mr. Harmon
continued, "we have kept on being
pretty chummy from that day to this,
wouldn't dratu otF.1
'Yes,' I said, '1'11 be as frank with you
as you are with me. It must be in
strict confidence, of course.'
"We shook hands 071 10; and, I soon
came to enjoy our little -intimate chats,
ranging from baseball to business,
and from scllogl matters to politics,
although at first it did seem to me
that I was opening up a little more
freely than he was,
"My. business at that time made
necessary a good deal of traveling.
One night at a hotel, I ran across an
acquaintance, a prosperous manufac-
turer, who asked me to join him and
two of itis friends in a little game to
pass away the time, I never 'cared
for that kind of thing, and I was ab-
solutely without skill; but Jones i n-
sisted, and I went along. Pretty soon
10 was suggested that some small
stakes would make it more interest-
ing; and, not to go into particulars,
when we got through I was interested
to the extent of about a hundred dol-
lars, I went to any room fairly ahem -
ed of myself. Then I thought of Dick,
but I shook my head,
"I had to come to it, though. What
kind of confidential tents would we be
on if I watt keeping back front hien
the only thing that I was really
ashamed of? I guess that no boy
ever dreaded a session with his father
any more than. I did 'Iny next confi•
dehtial talk .with Dick; but I got
through with 10 after a fashion, and
ho was disposed to let me oft easy,
'Never riind, dada he said. 'Slot-
get it. Yon don't have to do it affair,
I. don't say that that would be the . After`these preliminaries, and after
ideal relationship in all cases; but as settling upon a euitable and available
place for the picnic, a few striking
posters will arouse enthusiasm, They
should be lettered in red on a white
background, and might be worded
somewhat as follows:

A Community Picnic
Sunday -school picnics have long

may incluc • not only one Sunday.
school but all the Sunday schools, as
well'as the rest of the folks in town.
In fact, it's one of the best little get-
together plans that you can think of
for a' village or town.
In the first place, of course, a com-
mittee must be appointed to do the
planning. The people most interested
will take the initiative and do the
engineering. It is possible to ask the
different local organizations to co-
operate.
A house-to-house canvass to find out
who is interested to go and to con-
tribute toward the slight expenses is
desirable. The inquirer should also
find out who are to be depended on to
furnish their own ears for transporta-
tion, and whether they can and will
carry additional passengers,
far as I can see, it has worked out
:pretty well so fat far both of us."

Self-feeclers with a balanced ration
aid in cheapening the corn crop fed
into hogs, but they will not do it all.
We can cheapen every bushel of
corn :fed into our hogs .by about 20
cents, and this score of pennies goes
onto the credit balance at market time,
where 100 want the greatest profit.
Topping out' cer.nfields, 'instead of
cutting up the whole stalks into
shocks, gives us the advantage of
snapping in the husk load after corn
for winter feeding. Swine like to
tear into these husks and find the rich
grains: ,lust try 10 on a bunch of
hogs that aro tired of your bare- husk-

The amusement committee will have
the greatest task of all, because some-
thing should be planned for the small
children, the larger ones, and grown-
ups. For instance, someone who gets
on well with little tots may kerep them
happily together playing ring games.
The older children and the grown-
ups will be entertained by a parade.
Probably some will have brought' or
worn picturesque accessories. The
others may be supplied in groups with
paper caps, whistles, horns, and bells.
If there is a Boy Scout band, that
will be a great addition to the parade,
and may lead off, A hurdy-gurdy

There should be a number of parade

giant Teddy bears, which are really,
of course, some fun -loving boys inside

In fact, there might be quite a comic
'unmet parade if a group of ingenious
young people would be willing to con-

could be announced on the posters.

from mutton and wool, but the fact
that goats are considered to be inn -

great factor in the encouragement of

the score keeper puts to the credit of
the team that named it as many marks
as there•are Ietters in the word. Eilch
side tries, of course, to choose as long
a word as possible; but often, since
the time is limited, a short one has to
be hastily taken. Cake, for example,
earns only four points, whereas choc-
olate gives nine.
If a team fails to produce a word in
the specified time, one point is dedugt-
ed from its score. If it misses an
answer entirely, ten points are lost,
and the opposing team has the privi-
lege of starting afresh with any letter
citing as the figures on the board
mount toward the hundred mark set
as the winning score.
