FINDS OLD PARCHMENTS. Former Bates Co. Woman, Rum- maging in Attic, Comes Across Documents. Liberty, Mo., March.—Mrs. G. W. Clardy, of this city, while rummaging in an attic, came across an old bundle of parchment documents which her grandfather had tied up in 1827. One was a land-grant deed from es sale es ‘ff signed by John Quincy Adams, while President of the United States, for 160 acres in Callaway county, Mis souri, to Mrs. Clardy’s grandfather, Overton Harris. A receipt from the Postmater Gen- eral for carrying The Kentucky Gaz- ette through the mails in 1803 to 1809, dates back to the time when the | subscriber paid annually to the Post- | master his newspaper postage.

While in the city I saw a bushel of corn that took first prize for bushel lots at the National Corn Show. It has been sold for $280, at which price we could all afford to devote some at- tention to the production of pure-bred seed. I am afraid the demand for seed at that price would soon be sup* plied, though. The poorest farmer I know has more than many a well-dressed man I saw in the city, besides, the farmer in world’s goods he may be. The city man must wear good clothes, even if at the expense of some of the neces- sities of life. Good clothes he must wear to hold down his job. I heard a man say that hay was go- ing to be very high in price next year because a greater acreage than ever in the corn belt was out of grass..and under the plow. He went on the theory that high grain prices had caused and would cause many mead- ows to be broken up, and consequent- ly next fall would see some record smashing done in the hay market. Planters of the “variable drop” style are now on the market. A change of drop can be instantly made without stopping the team. You can plant thicker along the bottom and thinner when going over the knoll. The idea looks like a good one to me. Gang plows used to be considered horse killers, but that was when gang plows were not made as they are now. The gang that is adjustable in its bail can be set to run true in the furrow, when it will pull no harder in proportion than the single mold- An Iowa farmer recently held a public sale. He had no use for the newspapers as an advertising me- dium. He thought a few sale bills would answer the purpose. He has learned differently now. There was a small crowd of buyers present; farmers within two miles of his place didn’t even know he was to have a sale. His chattles sold at a compara- tively low price, and the total amount received from the sale was several hundred dollars less than a neighbor received who had spent a few dollars for newspaper space. He saved probably $2 or $3 on advertising and lost scores of times $3. Free Seed Corn. Why not quit raising ‘‘scrub” corn? Why not plant enough pure bred seed this spring to supply you for the fu- ture? There is as much difference between “scrub” corn and pure bred corn as there is between a “‘scrub”’ steer anda pure bred steer. Pure bred corn will produce a much larger yield per acre than ordinary seed. Until further notice, the Farmer and Breeder, published at Columbia, Mo., will give away free a quart of pure bred seed corn with every new sub- scription, A quart will plant a quar- ter of an acre and give you all the pure seed you need for future use. The Farmer and Breeder is a big monthly and costs only 50c per year. Itis published in the home of Mis- souri’s great Agricultural College and every issue is full of articles by Agri- cultural experts on the raising of all kinds of Farm Crops, the Care and Feeding of Live Stock, Dairying, Fruit Growing, Fertilizing the Soil, Poultry Raising and every other farm board, but let gangs pull out of line For Sale _All registered stock I invite inspection of this stock, as it will com- pare with any of the kind in the United States.

I don’t believe in bribing the chil- dren to docommon chores. If train- ing is what it should have been, when a boy reaches the “help out” age he will take more interest in the work if not started in on the bribe plan. Bribing children to pick up the cobs or bring in the wood is a good way to teach them to be politicians, but not farmers. I want my children to be farmers. One of my neighbors believes in feeding cattle to a finish. A short time ago he told me the rule he went by. He gets the neighbors to come in and look at his steers and when all agree they are ready for market he feeds them just thirty days longer. He says those last thirty days are invariably the most profitable of all.

Columbia, Mo., Feb. 28.—Pros- pects for a good fruit crop are better now than they have been at this sea- son of the year in the last ten years. Mrs. S. J.

Whitten, horticulturist at the Missouri Experi- ment Station here, says the backward condition of the fruit btds is greatly in favor of a large crop. Doctor Whitten does not believe that there will be any serious danger to the fruit crop after this month. The buds have been protected fully by the cold weather up to this time, and he thinks it would require more warm days than we are likely to have to make the buds grow enough to know about horses, and the more “ooking” it takes to decide in my mind whether the horse is worth the money or not. When about twenty years of age I thought myself a good judge of a horse, but now it is plain to me that I judged myself too high- ly, and not the horse. Youth has to outgrow a know-it-all period. You wouldn’t wear a shoe that didn’t fit, a half-hour, even if it had been paid for and couldn’t be ex- changed.

Farm Progress of St. Louis, Mo., the biggest and best semi-monthly MORE GAME FOR MISSOURI. The State Game Warden Places Orders For Many Kinds of Birds. Kansas Cl'y Star The state of Missouri is to be re- stocked with game birds. The first real move in the perfec- tion of the plan was made last week when Jesse Tolerton game and fish warden, placed an order with a Kan- sas City zoological agency for the de- liverysin Jefferson City of several hundred breeding pheasants and oth- er birds. The state will spend im- mediately about $20,000, money de- rived from hunter's license. The aim of the game warden is to make Mis- souri the paradise for hunters that it was a score or more years ago. _ In the first order Tolerton has call- ed for Chinese ring neck pheasants, Hungarian partridges, quails and Golden pheasants. But these are only a small part of the varieties which the department intends to introduce all through the state. E. T. Horne representing the Horne Zoological Arena, says all the breed- ing birds will be sent to the peniten- tiary farm at Jefferson City for the present. It is the plan, however, to send the birds later to the various rural districts, The only stip Real Estate Transfers. Warranty Deeds.
