Farmer and Stockman. in sowing grass seed on the “‘last’’ snow has his seeding done. The an- swer might give us an insight into the weather that is to be. : The best thing I have done ina long while was to haul up a big stack of fodder just before the three days of rain and the big snow. The old saying is, ‘‘A fool for luck,’’ and it was certainly luck on my part, for I do not pretend to forecast the weather. All the faith I ever had in wild ducks as weather prophets has van- ished. Just before the snow (more than at any other time this winter) they were flying in great flocks, ap- parently anxious to get out of the South. They went back faster than they came, however. é There must be something in getting a tongue truck to fit the disk. A neighbor complained that he could not make his disk harrow cut as deep as it should. He took off the tongue truck and the disk was then all right. Undoubtedly the coupling of the disk to the truck was too high or too low. The coupling arrangement should be adjustable as to height. Talk about hard luck, one of my neighbors wished to move when the roads were good, but his children were having the measels then. When the last one had fully recovered the rains began. The way of the moving renter is not always smooth. For a time it did not seem that the Those timid men who are very cau- | price of pasturage kept pace with the art, who Is “flogging” the stream)— | tious about showing any polite atten- price of land, but the man with a car | tlon to their wives, in the fear that their continuance will be expected, load or two of steers to put out on ought to be brave enough to try It rented pasture finds that he is getting nothing.for less than cost now. The time may come when good pasture will return as much per acre as good corn or small grain. I know of some men who have been on the jump to hire pasture, and they have found none to date. Those who love to juggle figures tell us there is a great scarcity of cat- tle in the country. This being true, with pasture land as scarce as it is now, what would the scarcity amount to with a full supply of cattle? There is no question but what the corn belt has gone more heavily than ever into corn growing, and the time is not far off when the pasture acreage should be increased. : Once I made by mudding in a piece of oats, but only once. Probably I have lost ten times as much by doing it again should be easy to keep down now, yet the sight of a neighbor out in the field at work always put a man on nettles in the spring of the year. ‘Tf he can work, I can,” isnot always reasonining. Having only three colts to run in a yard, and two large ones that will take their place in the harness after this, the five were left to run in the same yard with the cattle this winter, but it will not happen so again. On cold mornings those colts have taken | particular delight in running the cat- tle. Next winter they go intoa yard and shed of their own. - There are two points in favor of the grain drill that are many times over- | looked. The seed is covered and the | job done as far as the drill goes—no| seed uncovered when night comes and it storms before morning. The other point in the drill’s favor is its disre- | gard of the wind, for no matter how hard the spring wind blows seeding can be kept right on just the same. If it were not for the fact that the seasons have usually taken good care of our crops as far as weather was concerned in the past, there might be some cause foruneasiness this spring. The ground was dry last fall and we/| have had very little snow this winter, but no doubt “Jupe” will turn his waterworks loose when we need the rain. The ground hog had better stay in his hole this year because he is entirely discredited as a weather prophet. But March came in like a gentle lamb and the wise old pessimists are again shaking their heads and looking wise. That it is possible for one hen to laid two eggs.

They removed: with their family to Platte’ county, Mo., where they resided until the fall of 1865, when they returned to Bates county and located on the farm near Pleasant Gap, where they reared the remainder of their lives. She united with-the Baptist church when a young girl and was a faithful, con- sistent member that church to the end of her life. j At the age of 3 years she was brought « Calloway county, where they resided|'(( yo married to Judge J.

Her husband departed this life Sep- tember 4th, 1902, since which time she has continued to make her home on the old homstead with her young- est daughter, Mrs. Moore. She was spending the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Settle, in Harris- onville, when she was siezed with an attack of pneumonia fever, which in her enfeebled condition, soon baffled the skill of the attending physician, and on the morning of March 2, 1911, at the age of 77 years, 4 months and 16 days she passed to the great be- yond after a long and useful life. She was a true Christian, and was always ready and anxious to help others and to do good to those about her. Three brothers, Wm. and John Wilson, of Calloway county, and Jas. T. Wilsun, of near Rockville, survive her. Judge R. B. Campbell, of Pleasant Gap, is her nephew, and these together with her immediate family and a host of other relatives and friends mourn her departure. Her remains were brought from Harrisonville and after being kept over night in the old home were tak- en to the Baptist church Saturday morning, March 4th, where funeral services were conducted by the Rev. S. Shelton, of Adrian, in the pres- ence of her two daughters, one son W. D., and step-son, Jno. L., anda ae thering of relatives, friends and old neighbors, who came to,pay their last tribute of respect to one life, after which she was buried be- side her-husband in the Rogers~ cem- etry, there to rest till the resurrec- tion morn.
