This winter will teach the farmers
of this part of the wheat belt, that it
is a poor idea to burn up any surplus
straw in the spring. We have heard
of some straw stacks that were three
and four years old having been sold
for feed, bringing one dollar per load.
With wheat pasture ankle deep, the
stock has eaten a vast amount of old
straw where they could get to it. If
we get a big crop this year, it will
pay to put a man in charge of the
blowers when threshing and see that
the straw is saved It may be many
years before another forage famine
comes, but when it does come be pre-
pared for it by conserving the straw

Mnunt Nebo Notes
By Nemo
The snow storm and blizzard of the
12th, was a humdinger while it lasted,
tho’ it did not get as cold as during
the storm a week earlier. The sleet
played havoc with the phoue lines
along the west roads Everybody got
busy Sunday and Monday and the
lines are all in usable conditlou.
While the roads are in fine condi-
tion on north and south lines, the
other roads were covered Horn one to
three feet deep: the snow at this
writing is nearly all melted but the
roads will be In poor condition for
travel for several days.
Not having heard of any more hogs
dying lately, we are in hopes that the
the cholera has about run its course
and there will be some hogs left over.
As Easter Sunday comes April 12th
this year many whose hens have not
been laying are in hopes that they
will learn how before that date.

I noticed that Sumner county,
Kansas, advertised that ALL chinch
bug harbors would be burned on the
12th and 13th of this month. Well,
if this storm was as bad up there as
on thissideof the line, I guess they
posponed the burning. This foolish-
ness about burning and curtailing
chinch bugs, makes us weary. But
then these college bred fellows have
to spout something, or they fear that

—There are two or three places
along the state line road running east
from Manchester, that should be giv-
en immediate attention. At one
place, a board in a culvert Is broken,
leaving a hole just about large en-
ough for a horse to step through. This
would cost some farmer a horse, and
being a state line road, he might
have lots of trouble collecting dam-
ages, if Indeed he should ever be able
to do so. Other places are not quite
so dangerous, but should be looked
after, and at once.

IF YOU WANT A SUIT
That is just in style;
If you want a shave that will make you smile.
And at prices that will suit your pile,
Come in, it will be well worth your while.
And bring your laundry all in a pile.
