It is your duty to secure a strict

Weekly Letter of John It Page.
About this time last year I called
the attention of the farmers to two
important things. One was to
plant plenty of corn and grass seed
to make all the feed necessary to
keep all the stock on the place all
next year.
The other was to not overcrop
yourself. If you plant more stuff
than you can cultivate it will mean
a waste. It will also mean a waste
of labor, for if you overcrop your
c-ulf ^ ui. will w- k i.a u Li y o g to
cult v '*° it all, arid 3? a a.'l
i f rr rr n m j' V 3 n■■ <ti II
cultivated, and you will make less
than to have let part of it gm
Think of thes° rratt^rs nnv.
Y u an put in \ ■ on what
you h 'V? • t f i-m r--t zing
1 y r u g
in ne-dcd impr^verien. . If you
will follow this system you will
soon g-t th“ reputation of a good
farmer, who always cultivates his
crop well, who keeps up with his
work, makes good crops and has a
well improved and good looking
.farm and well kept stock. You
• may not think this amounts to
much, but it does. A farmer with
this kind of a reputation and who
is industrious can borrow money
on it. It is a basis of good credit,
and when adversity does overtake
you the merchants, the bankers
and your friends are always ready
to stand by you and extend your
credit. Keep cattle and hogs and
poultry on the place and make a
good garden, in connection with
this system and you are almost
! sure to get along well.
As to corn and hay for the stock,
you must not forget the impor
tance. Hogs and cattle are profit
able. so keep up the breeding stock
and rn en» gh f^~d to car • for
the ei s -tiiio g your a in no Is
during their growing period.
Prepare pasture for the hogs if
you can. It pays big. Remember
that n eight mo 'ths of their
lives represents tne best growing
part.

John D Nelson, of Strong.
Mr. Nelson is now serving his
first term and has made an efficient
and capable officer and as it is al
ways customary to honor those
who do this with a second term, we
have no doubts he will be re-elected.
He attends to the duties of the
office at all times, has given entire
satisfaction so far and will continue
to do so if continued in this office.

into 'lie saddle, gave the machine a
little push, and waited to see what
