He mowed the. rye and put it ip at once, and he says it U a# fine as*, any one couid wish, and the mules relish it. The ryv vvhich. wax :n.aw.-. ed had grown G feet and ten inches hieh.. and you can imagine whit a pile an acre would "make. Mr, Shotwell says the cost tcr the two acres was $2,31 cash, and re I quired one, arid a quarter days labor. ^ As a result of this small expenditure | he will not have" to buy hay, WhicH is quite an expensive luxury just at this time, even if you have the easily which many -do not have. Here is an example we commend to iill of our farmers. follow the example of such men as Mr. Shot well and soon we will-have the nust profitable and prosperous farmers to be found.- * -r? . JUNIOR?
