The Reason It Rains.

A writer in Harper's Monthly states
in few words the changes that cultivation
is making in the character of the great
plains of the West. The buffalo grass
sod which has covered the plains for
centuries has become almost impervipus
to water. The rain which cannot pene-
trate it rushes off to the divides in q
fury to reach the rivers. The prairie is
deluged during heavy rain, but is soon
left dry and hard. The water has not
soaked in. it has simply rushed away.
But" he says, when the prairie sod
has once been plowed, the soil abserbs
water like sponge. After days heavy
rain there is no mud visible in n plowed
field. The moisture soaks downward to
great depths. and the soil retains it
through weeks of dry weather after
wards, sustaining its crops without addi-
tional rain for wonderful length Of
time. 1t is at least reasonable to sup
pose that under this changed condition
of large portions Of the soil, which now
absorbs rain instead of shedding it like
q rubber coat, the climate retains it's at
mospheric moisture better, and the rain
fall becomes more regular, less falling a
q time, but falling oftener. This ma,
account, too, foI the heavy dews which
of late years hove been remarked in thi
country--a thing absolutely unknown
ten years ago. The upturned soil part
ing with but little Of its moisture eacl
day. it returns to it at night well nigh a
refreshing as a shower"

Keep Your Plow Sharp.

A plow may be as near perfection in
mechanism as human ingenuity can
make it, and yet reasonable allowance
of"horse sense" must accompany the use
of it will in time fail to do the good work
it is capable OF doing. When a farmer
selects an ak, saw or scythe he realizes
the importance of keeping it in good
working order. The AK must be keen
and the saw filed sharp, the tired arms
and the aching back enforcing this ab-
monition. Yet this same farmer will
purchase plow and work it a whole
season, or perhaps longer, with a dull
share, which instead of cutting, roots it's
way through the ground. The poor,
tired horses, If they could talk, would
appeal to their careless and hear,less
owners something in this wise:
"We are willing to work for you; but
do by US as you would by yourselves
keep the tools we work with in good con
dition. Put sharp share on that p!oa
and see that tits properly adjusted to rur
its lightest. Work is hard enough a
best without making it unnecessarily
severe"
Every plow should have Two share,
and one sharp one should be ready t,
replace the one that becomes dull. 4
farmer should as soon think of shavin
with q dull, notchei razor as to ,m
mence plowing with that instrument o
horse torture, dull plowshare.
