GRASSES WASTED
Sow is the time to send in the best
specimens procurable of lirasees aud
Forage Hants. I want as Urge a collec
tion of these as possible (or Columbia
County's exhibit at the State lair. I
know the season has been unfavorable,
but it has been better in Colninbia
County than In many other sections of
the State with which we may have to
compete. There is nothing advertites a
county better than it's grasses, and we
certainly giow them to perfection in
Columbia County. Some have been tent
iu, but I want a large quantity, and I
want them from every part of the
county. It is not much trouble lor auy
farmer to bring or send in a few speci
mens, and it will help greatly in making
creditable showing. Now is the time,
and I sincerely hope, before another
week fjoes by to have received a large
number of good samples of alsike, red
top, timothy, alfalfa, vetch, wild pea,
orchard grass, and in fact of all the dif
ferent varieties of grasses and forage
plants grown in Columbia County.
Send them or bring them direct to me,
properly lablled. Act now, while you
have it in your mind. Send to

Luther Burbaok, at a dinner in Santa

"A fashionable fruiterer," hi: mil'

with two-dollar strawberries for Mrs.
Van Guide.
"The boy a moment later called fruui

" 'Hey, there ain't enough Iwnies
here to fill this box."
"The fruiterer buried back himself.
He looked at the box, tLen he aneeied
at the boy.
" Why, you young greenhorn he
said, 'you've gut it upside down !' "
