Let us grow clow and grass on the hill;
While intensely the level and flats we till.
The cows and hens willsettle oar daily bill;
While the beeves, sheep and tobacco the coffers fill.
And; when orchard, garden and. sty the larder fill,
Then, with a smile, will Mary greet her Bill.

How many Madison county

crop? This is worth a thought.

dying, some of them", was the
answer. We learned by in

one shut up in a coop at the

.THE FARMERS WARE-
HOUSE Again we want to
call the attention of the farmer
readers, especially in Madison
County, to the new warehouse
erected by the incorporated
Madison Farmers. This build

growth. Three years ago. the
farmers started to buy ferti
lizer in a cooperative way, de
livering from the car. This
method made it impossible to
give service to . every farmer.
The next move was to take
over the old warehouse and
put in a stock of fertilizer. This
was more successful.
The past spring the group in
charge of the work decided to,
and did, put on a campaign for
more funds to erect a new
brick ware house. This cam
