Try Some Crimson Clover This Fall. Numerous inquiries indicate i an increasing interest in crimson clover It is now being grown , on small areas where a few, years ago many claimed it could not be grown It is one of our very best early spring-growing legumes When sowed early enough and the winter is mild it makes considerable grow th \ during the late fall and winter j but its strong point is rapid, i early spring growth audi maturity It furnishes an early crop of hay when feed is usually scarce, or may be plowed under at maturity in time for a crop i of corn Its weak point is the difficulty j of getting a stand Failures! with it are due to a variety of causes, but probably these occur j most frequently from lack of inoculation: seeding too early when the young plants are killed by dry hot weather, or seeding too late, when the plants fail to make sufficient growth to with stand the winter freezing. As a rule, failure to inoculate the soil is the most common cause of failure to get a good crop and next in importance in causing these failures is sowing too late, but except in the northern part of our territory, sowing too early is also a frequent cause of failure Many want to sow it in corn when laying-by this crop, but in the Cotton Belt we advise against this as a general practice. for even in the northern part of the Cotton Belt we do not think it should be sowed before the latter part of August and further south September I to October 1 is better Neither do we advise sowing it at the last working of cotton, except possibly in the extreme northern part of the Cott n Belt. As a general rule. h .wever. it may be sowed immeui :e:y after the lirst pick in- of cotton, or possibly after the second picking in some , localities.

We advise every farmer to try at least a small area of crimson clover this year If the crop has not been grown successfully on the farm, plow, say one acre, now, disk and harrow immediate ly, and harrow once every ten days or two weeks until the lat tei part of August or September, according to the location, and then inoculate the acre with 50) to 1,000 pounds of soil from a field where crimson, small white or red clover has grown success fully or with the commercial cul tures of the bacteria which may be purchased from our adver tisers, and sow the seed and brush them in lightly with a har r. v If a good crop is obtained, this soil will inoculate the whole ROYAL !

Progressive ! Farmer. | Now One Woman Went About 11. I know women who are help ing to pay for the farm by sell ing butter and buttermilk One I woman encouraged her husband to build a better house than he •had intended and said that if he would put in a windmill, bath room. hot and cold water and ! other conveniences she would I pay for them She asked the dairyman from the State Depart ment of Agriculture to goto her. ; tell her what was the matter with her dairy and her know ledge of butter-making, and to day she gets the highest market price for her products. She sells butter, cheese and buttermilk. She has sausage put up in little oil-paper cartoons like butter. Her eggs -ire dean. large and uniform. *he has one breed of hens and for the same reason the poultry she takes to town are tleshv and clean skinned., Her vegetables are fresh picked i and attractive. -Si excellent are| wares that she has for years had j regular customers and awaiting | list. Also sets her own prices ' Mrs. W N- Hutt. in The Prog ressive Farmer. Make the House keepers Work Easy. Woman must have leasure if;' she is to be a successful home- i I maker.

Water should be in the house if possible, at least near, either in the well or in pipes. So also should the milkhouse, smoke | house and vegetable garden be : near. There should be as few steps as possible and those board and easy of ascent. The kitchen is the most im- I I portant room of the house. Is jit not so? Have you not been j in many houses in which the par lor showed great signs of ex pense and care, but where the kitchen showed evidences of neither money nor thought? In these homes it is sometimes a matter of surprise to the parents that the girl would rather be clerk or stenographer or teacher THE DANBURY REPORTER or anything other than the as sistant cook to stay at home and ; work in (hat kitchen from which I even instinct of beauty, and; brightness and reiinement bids j her revolt. There is something l wrong with the uirl who is will- j in£ to stay in such a kitchen and ; be content. also there is some-1 thing lacking in the woman who' is content to wait and wait, hop-: ing a darkey, however shiftless, ■ will turn up soon to do her work, | insteail of taking matters into j her own hands and seeing how | easily and cheerfully she can do, it herself. No. 1 take back that last sentence. I was too hasty j in my judgment. The lack may | not be in the woman herself but j in the inspiration and environ- 1 ment. —Mrs. W Hutt, in The Progressive Farmer. Paint or litwash Your House.' All outbuildings should bej painted now, but if you can't! atFord paint, whitewash is cheap and will go a long way toward] giving your farm a clean, iresh, prosperous look in keeping with ; the springtime season will do a i lot to let passers-by know that; "a man who cares" owns youri place. If you really can't afford : i the beauty and attractiveness of; j a painted residence, you can at j least use plenty 01 whitewash and make the yard glarious with piety of tlowers. Whitewash and flower seed are cheap. The Prog, ressive Farmer. The Maintenance ot Roads. I The question of supervision j of maintenance is just as impor tant as the question of money to work the roads with. If the 1 United States should issue the | biliion dollars of roads bonds pro-1 posed by some enthusiasts, the : indifferent neighborhood and the| one with an incompetent man in charge of the roads would still j have poor roads. Every State must have a State Engineer or a Highway Commission, every | county a competent Road Com missoner, and every mile of road an overseer directs responsible for its upkeep, before we have any general system of good roads The labor tax and the annual "road-working" will not make good roads, or keep them good: nor will any appropriation, however great, without provision for continual supervision by a competent man whose business : shall be to keep the roads good.— iThe Progressive Farmer BEST LAXATIVE FOR THE AGED. Old men and women feel the" need of a laxative more than ! young folks, but it must be safe and harmless and one which will not cause pain.

THIS IS THE NEW VISIBLE FOX *• BETTER THAN THE BEST OF ALL OTHERS " Sent on Free Trial, Express Pd. —P—g—— — Look at the illustration of our New Fox Visible Typewriter, shown above, and compare it with any other typewriter you have ever seen or used. Here is a really VISIBLE typewriter —note that the printing point is on top in plain sight, and that'the type bars rise from where they are lying and strike the platen in full view of the operator, and in a direct line of vision and that all of what you have written remains* in full sight until the paper is removed from the typewriter. Compare this with those old style typewriters, that some firms are still advertising as visibles, but on which the printing point is beneath the typebars, and you have to look down into them—or between them—to see what you have written. Touch a key in the keyboard and you change the color of your writing instantly from black, blue or purple to red. Press the Tabulator Key at the left (in front) for paragraphing, writing the compli mentary closing, etc.: also for all kinds of billing. At the right (in front) is our Back Space Key. This moves the carriage backward for making corrections, or putting in punctuation. This key also enables the operator to erase a word of three letters and write one of four in its place. Press the Stencil Key shown at the left (front) for making stencils from which thousands of duplicate letters can fce made. Four rows of keys reduce the shifting one-third The right Shift Key locks automatically for writing in all caps. A positive automatic Line Lock prevents you from writing beyond a predetermined line. The ribbon travels in a "zig-zag" line -not straight across from spool to spool as on others—thus using all of the ribbon and making it last three or four times as long as on other typewriters. The ribbon automatically re-winds itself from one spool to the other without any attention from the operator. Carriage#are interchangeable, and run on ball bearing tracks. Platens are re movable. so that both a hard and soft platen can be used on the same typewriter. Extremelv light touch, "No falling leaf is lighter than the touch of the Fox Typewriter." Choice of Elite, Pica, Condensed Roman, Medium Roman, or Italic Type—we carry more than three thousand special type in stock, of our own mannfacture, and can furnish keyboards for any language. The Fox has an easy, almost noiseless action, is very durable, and is sent com plete with cleaning outfit and metal cover with hard wood base. This i.« tilt* l-'iix. tin- typewriter we manufacture—this is the typewriter that \vf will semi to anv one anywhere in the I'nileil States on Free Trial, all express eharires fully paid—no "red tajie" 110 delav— no obligation to liny. If purchased after trial you can pay a little down—whatever vou can sp ire— and the balance In small 111 »ntlily payments. Keailcr. in all sincerity we can honestly say tliis proposition has never licen equaled liv anv other typewriter company, and all we ask Is that you write us TOKAY—MiW— jrlvinii us voiir name and address so we can send yon our eat a log and write you personally about our tvpewrlter and Free Trial offer.
