Do You Need Money
to Buy Seed?
Han for the balance of this year now. The results next Fall
largely depend upon the forethought given to cultivation,
fertilization and the quality of the seed you intend to plant.
Success usually follows good management. Intensive cul
tivation of your land, properly fertilized and sown with
Registered or Government Tested seed, is the best assur
ance of profitable results.
See our Branch Manager if you need money to carry out
a profitable programme this year.

Pope Not Popular with Nazis
Berlin — Nazi circles expressed the

to totalitarian governments. This el

Last night when I finished up the
chores, a final tour of inspection was
made, of the stables. Everything ap
peared to be in ship-shape order >un-
til, J chanced to glance over into the
corner box stall, and there I found
Buttmsky, the Bolshevist goat, in a.
very bad condition. Just the fact that
he was lying there, and not creating
a panic in the stable, was enough to
let < a person know that something
was seriously wrong, and so I decid
ed to take a hand.
Down in the medicine chest in. the
corner of the centre passageway,
there is a bottle of medicine that Doc
Riggs left to be given any time that
Buttinsky went under the weather.
Armed with this bottle, I sneaked in
on him, He just lay th’ere and let me
go ahead with the proceedings. He
didn’t even move as I gently tucked
his beard in under his chin and start
ed elevating his nose ... in fact all
was quiet until he got the first whiff
of the medicine. That did it! Thrown
off guard I landed back in the corn
er, with my hat shoved down over my
head and the bottle of medicine luck
ily enough, still intact.
Buttinsky cavorted around the cor
ner of the stall, rammed his head
against the stone wall and on the re
coil landed out in the passageway. He
tore right along to the end of it,
smacked up against the door Into the
horse stable, and doing a quick-about
bore down in the direction of me.
Just in the nick of time, I was able
to hop up on the corner post of the
stall. Buttinsky suddenly stopped,
and seemed to waver in his tracks as
he slipped down quietly on the pile
of straw. I guess the exertion was too
much for him, because he didn’t make
any offer to fight wheh I bore down
on him.
This time1 I was cautious and I
planted myself firmly on top of him.
He heaved a couple of times, biding
his chance to flip me off. Then the
fun began.
A goat is at any time a bundle of
perverse animal nature. Imagine if
you can, a sick goat who hates med
icine . . . and one puny man pitched
against him with a bottle of a foul
smelling concoction composed by a
■veterinary, and supposed to combat
all the ills and lil-feeling of Buttin
sky.
He rammed and lunged . . , .and
tried to roll over. He swilled and
gargled . . . and spat out what I had
managed to get in his mouth. He bit
my hand and when I didn’t notice it,
rammed his horns back up in my face.
When the blood began to come
from my scratched cheek, I suppose
it aroused some dormant animal nat
ure in myself. From then on it was
“catch, as catch can.1
was up and the next mintlte lie was
on top. I lost my hold once, and
slipped over lu’s head. Before getting
back on my feet, he placed his horns
in a very determined way on the seat
of my pants and^sent me spinning on
the top of my head.
Then -\ye crouched in opposite cor
ners and started walking around each
other like a pair of game cocks. Bid
dy, the little red hen, chose that mo
ment to fly tip on top of the stall, and
that distracted me for a moment or
two. SWOOP! Buttinsky charged
like a bull, and I had just time to
elevate one leg. There I was sitting
on top of the goat, and while lie was

going east I was*looking west ... it
was a very undignified posture.
Mrs. Phil chose that moment to
come into the stable. I saw every col
our of the rainbow when she said:
“You big b-ully, abusing that poor
goat! Get off this very moment,”
The medicine was all spilled, my
temper was popping off like Chinese
firecrackers and so I calld the whole
affair off, and went up to the house.
Buttinsky could die if he wanted to.
This morning when I opened the
stable door he rammed into it ... as
bright and alert as ever. Something-
tells me, Buttinsky made a goat-out
of me yesterday.
