Of Benefit to the tail. Of course the preeence of this plant on the lands named Is highly beneficial to those meadows, the coarse, deeply penetrating taproots of the melilotus opening up the compact soil and thus conducing to the better growth of both Johnson and Bermuda grasses. Hay made from melilotus when the plant is In just the right stage of growth for best results and properly cured is a hay that Is In every sense equal to the trot quality cowpea vines or any of the clover family. _ THIS LYRA TALKING MACHINE Will cost you only $6.00 •i ' With 6 ColumbiE selected Records.
