HOW TO LAY OFF THE LAND.

Make Careful Survey of the Field With
the Eye Before Starting the PlOw-
Other Agricultural Excerpts.
Before starting the plow make care
full survey OF the field with the eye and
by pacing off the lands to see where the
proper places for back burrows and dead
burrows are to come. The proper place
for the back furrow, if in an open field,
is where the dead furrow of the year be-
fore was, SO as to keep the field as near
level as possible.
Having selected the proper places for
the back burrows, pace from each end OF
the field three less PAGES than one side
OF the land then place the guide stake
at one end and start the plow from the
other, using care to drive the first furrow
straight and parallel from the side Of the
field. Plow back and forth, throwing
the burrows together, until you have a
strip six PAGES wide plowed; then pow
across the end of this back -furrowed
strip at each round, using care to start
the furrow across the end OF this back
furrowed strip parallel with the end of
the field and the furrows straight, so
that the angles at the corners are right
angles; then when you come to finish
the land it will come out even on the
side and end OF the plowed land.
For the second land, having selected
the place for the back furrow, pace from
each end of the line nine less PAGES than
the number of PAGES from the last fur
row OF the land last plowed, place the
guide stake at one end of land and start
the plow from the other, and plow as be-
fore until you have strip six PAGES wide
plowed, throwing the burrows together,
and then plow across the end, as before,
and SO continue until there are but six
PAGES remaining in the strip between
the back burrows. Then plow back and
forth on this strip, throwing the burrows
alternately toward one back furrow and
then the other, until completed, and so
continue until the field is completed.
The advantage of this method OF lay
ing off land over the ones in common
use is that you have the field plowed
without turning on and tramping down
the plowed ground at each corner of the
land, and that the dead furrow by end
ing at the end OF the field carries the
surface water completely past the plowed
ground and thus gives much better
drainage than is done by plowing around
a land and turning on the plowed ground
and finishing the land number of PAGES
from the end OF the field so that there
is no outlet for the water gathering in
the dead furrows.
Another advantage OF this method OF
laying off lands is this: Instead of pill
ing up number of burrows OF the soil
on the outside edge OF the field, where
it is OF little or no use and is often OF
great damage by holding the surface wa
ter on the field, it tends to work the
plowed soil more toward the center Of
the field, where it is of use, and makes
the edge of the field low, go the drainage
is more complete.

poi gam COuCluueu
by which the Pottawatomie Indians sold to
the government for cents an acre the land
where the Lake City now stands, which
price, by the way, has never yet been paid.
Professor Turner was born in Templeton.
Mass, Dec. Z, 1906 His father was a farm
er whose sons all knew what hard work
meant. Jonathan was given deed of the
paternal farm when he was 18 years old, on
condition that he should stay at home and
work it. At 23 he decided that he didn't
want any more farming, but wanted to 20
to Yale college and get an education, so
that he might be lawyer like Daniel Web.
ster, whom he knew well and whose great
speeches had fired his youthful imagina.
tion His older brother, Asa, had been there
before him and was one of the famous yale
band" that did so much good in the west
in the matter of founding colleges and
schools.
Jonathan made an arrangement with
President Dwight by which he was to
teach athletics IN return for his own cduca
tion. He never graduated at Yale, howey-
er, for in 1888, before he had completed his
course, Illinois college, which was one of
those founded by the yale band" offered
him position, and he went there to COM
the beginning of his career at the college he
taught all branches of the curriculum, Of
ten doing the work of two teachers in order
that one Of the faculty might be spared to
beg for funds with which to carry on the
institution.
When he had been teaching for 15 years,
Professor Turner concluded he had got
enough of that also and returned to the oc-
cupation Of his youth-farming. He made
a success of it this time and soon acquired
fortune. One of the things that most i'm
pressed him was the lack of knowledge
among farmers about the principles of sci
entiflc agriculture This 1t was that led
him as early as 1S4S to agitate the establish
ment Of an agricultural college, and of 10
years Of that agitation the state university
at Champaign is the beneflcently fruitful

from Samoa that seventeen chiefs were

PARLIAMENT FOR SCOTLAND.
That Country Urges the Establishment
OF Home Rule.


of Home Rule.
LoNDoN.-In the House of Commons
James Henry Dalziel made a motion
that it was desired, while retaining in
tact the power and supremacy Of the
Imperial Parliament, to establish Leg
islature for Scotland to deal with Scot
tish affairs. In speaking of his motion
he said nobody would say that the House
OF Commons was SO congested that a
new and bold departure was necessary.
The governments proposal to appoint Il
grand committee to deal with Scottish
affairs was only temporary expedient.
The Scottish members of the House had
voted for home rule for Scotland. They
entertained no anti-English feeling, their
sole object being to procure for Scotland
legislation that was impossible under
existing conditions. The House adopted
the motion-l80 to ITO.

A BOOMING YOUNG CITY.

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming to
the front out forty miles north of
Texarkana, on the Texarkana & Ft.
Smith railroad, but it is a fact new
erthless,
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view of its fine location, at
the soon-to-be terminus of one rail
road, and the principal inland town
on another, it's fame is not surpris-
ing. The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road will soon be completed to it,
and a branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort. This will
give it two railroads.
Winthrop is located on a beauti-
full, high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for a big trade from this
fertile region.
A splendid opportunity is now
afforded investors, as well as per-
sons seeking a desirable location for
for a new home. The following
persons have bought lots, within
the past few days. M. H. Bales

Now is the time to invest, as
choice business lots can be had for
$75 and best resident lots for $25
