Stubble that can not be stirred this | fall should be disced to conserve the moisture. A few years ago rain makers filled the sky with all sorts of explosives. I can remember once when a rain maker took $500 from the people of a: nearby section of the country, under | the pretense of making it rain. The Ld “rain”? was asmall sprinkle, and it would have come anyhow. Notice how closely the flies stick to the cows these cool mornings. They need a little fly-repellant. ‘There is no question but what some varieties of corn stand dry weather better than others, but I believe popcorn will stand through a long drouth and still produce better than any of the common field corn. It is usual for all hard, flinty corn to be hardier. It seems to me that some of the makers of self-dump hay rakes try to see how unhandily they can locate the foot trip. I havea rake on which it is located much too far back, and after being tripped it comes forward in a way that is calculated to rip the pants leg off a man if he is not quick in getting out of its way. The trip ought not to move at all. WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD SECOND-HAND Buggies, Carriages Harness, Saddles, etc, An extra good Sayers & Scovill top buggy.

With the season in full swing for this stock to be crowded onto the market the price will decrease rather than increase from now on. Instead of realizing from this period of high-priced grain, altogether too many of us are having to buy, thus high prices work to a disadvantage instead of to our advantage, as so many of the city folks think it does. Nearly all the corn now for sale is out of farmers’ hands, around here at least, and instead of having it to sell, a great many farmers are having it to buy. Wouldn’t it be nice to have all corn cribs on the farm fulland overflowing again? I would like to see corn piled on the ground once again, not that the ground is a good place to store corn, but corn. in piles on the ground is; indicative of a surplus, and we sure | do need a surplus of corn more than | we need many other things. The man who milks a number of cows usually finds himself in need of | something to help out the pasture at about this season of the year. It is not so much a question of having to feed as it isa question of its being} profitable to feed. When profitable to feed extra to piece out the pasture then one should by all means feed, even if it does not seem necessary to feed. H According to assessors’ reports, a good many townships are populated by more dogs than sheep. Starting in to get the balance the other way in such a township might be uphill work. Possibly a-few of the cur dogs ; would have to be disposed of in an unceremonious way. Iam a friend of the good dog, but not of the cur. The cost of living is still high in the cities, although the production of many things that enter into a living has already been sufficient to greatly ‘reduce the price to the producers. ' Somehow a reduction to the producer ‘is slow in getting to the consumer, and sometimes it does not get there lat all. There are too many middlemen along the way, all taking a heavy toll. ONLY ONE “BEST.” is Due. People of Butler who suffer with | sick kidneys and bad backs wanta_ kidney remedy that can be depended | upon. The best is Doan’s Kidney | Pills, a medicine for the kidneys only, made from pure roots and herbs, and the only one that is backed by willing testimony of Butler people. Here’s a case: | Mrs. John Stewart, 404 Vine St., Butler, Mo., says: ‘I had kidney trouble for about a year. Pains in my back were constant and my head ached. The kidney secretions also bothered me and I was in no condi- tion to attend to my work. A few months ago I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at Clay’s drug store, and they gave me such great relief that I continued taking them. My appetite improved, I took on flesh| and felt better in every way. My. aches and pains were also removed. I know that there is no better kidney medicine to be had than Doan’s Kid- ney Pills, and am only too glad to give this statement for the benefit of other kidney sufferers.”’ For sale by all dealers.

In the fall of 1910 the son averaged 15 bushels more to the acre on his 20 acres than did the old gentleman on his, and from that day to this he has been a friend of the Agricultural College.—The Missouri Farmer. i It may be possible to overdo the making of a dust mulch in a corn ified. A neighbor of mine, after laying by his corn with cultivators, hitched one horse to an old mower | wheel and dragged that between the ‘rows. This put the surface soil into ‘powder, a fine thing, no doubt, as | long as there is no rain, but the first dashing rain will cause this to almost ‘cement together. There is such a thing as getting a top soil too fine. | This is the last call for swatting the , noxious weeds.

Doerries and Alderman Henry E. Van Reen. Fulton was dry for four years until December 11, 1911, when it voted wet. Efforts since that time to get saloon licenses have been vigorously fought by the drys in the courts. The question of city licenses will come before the city council Thursday nightand no trouble in getting permits is-expected. All three saloons will be in the same block, and it will cost them $4000 each a year to operate. They are expected to open within a month.
