THE CULVER RECORD Vol. III Culver, Ottawa County, Kensas. March 2 1916 No, 18 THE OLD HOME The old home stands serent and stanch as in the days of yore, But gone are all the voices, and the welcome at the door. No footprints marks the paths within its garden desolate, Today 'tis 1 memory takes my hand and leads me thru the gate, Till in my tancy blooms again the garden row on row, The larkspur and the marigold -sweet flowers of long agoThe roses grow beside the wall as in forgotten June, The iris and the lavender distill their rich perfumes. The while I picture other days, and shadowy forms appear.

Dream faces smile 'mid candle light, and sweet old songs I hear. The bride upon her wedding day comes softly down the stair. An old man dreams of youth within his fireside chair. The picture changes and a boy with manhood in his eyes Goes forth to seek his the years that make us wise! Dear house, long since is stillness left--today you seem to wait To welcome home the boy again, grown now to man's estateI pick a rose beside the door in tender revery. Thankful for all the past holds dear in precious memory.

W06 LOW Two Cash Profits for Farmers FARM land than that land that produces big crops small is worth more But money produces crops.

even the richest farm land runs down in time unless it is fertilized. When you use a Low Cloverleaf manure spreader as it should be used, you keep your land up to a paying standard of fertility all the time. When you want to sell you can get top price for a Low Cloverleaf farm. That's one cash profit. While you are working it you get bigger net profits from your crops.

That's another cash profit. Both of them come to the farmer who uses a Low Cloverleaf manure spreader. This is the place to see and buy one. The spreader is right and the price is right, Come in and look at it. C.
