A wheel of some kind run down the furrow after the seed is sown to firm them into the ground win assist them in coming up better Two bush els of turnips fed with one bushel of corn to hogs will secure as good gains as three bushels of corn fed alone, thus releasing Iwo bushels of corn for the market. If y»u .axe running short on hog pasture crops you should plant summer crook-neck or pattipaa squash, as this crop can be fed with corn with fine re sults, and planted now with good sea sons will come iinto use in four or five weeks. We have mepple time yet for plant ing the Caahaw vor crook-neck pump kins, that an not only splendid for stock feeding hut for table use also, and planted at this .season of the year will keep wreB through the winter months. Daily farmers can feed the squash croj with execllertt' results, mixing them with roughage after they have been cut in small pieces. One other thing—that is, get your •apply of oats, rye and wheat seed as soon as possible if yeu have not al ready. Buy from local parties if you can, because you know what you are getting and save freight The supply of these seeds is short aad no dpubt that the prices will rise a great deal higher later oa.
