How to Garry Your Books.

Children who carry a load of school
school each day are cautioned by physi-
clan not to carry the load in the same
hand or over the same shoulder, as many
instances have been known where the
habit heightened the arm or enlarged the
hand disproportionately, or caused the
child to carry one shoulder higher than
the other. If the books are carried first
every second day, or the bag of books sus-
pended from the shoulder be changed
about as frequently, the danger will be
met and overcome. Even in cases of de-
cided right or left-i:andedness a chang

How to Build I'm Lands.

. .
How to regain the original fertility Of
our soils. or to build up worn lands, is
the problem that many farmers IN Iii,
nois lire iioW struggling With, says n. T..
Robinson in the Prairie Farmer. Why
is it that we can not grow the crops that
our fathers did on the same land twenty,
would see that our. lands were brought
up to the same state of fertility as they
were at that time. The trouble with our
lands here. and in many other sections,
is that they have been" improperly eulti
waited and managed, until all Of the fertil,
ity is, worked out Of the soil: On, my
farm here. (Fayette. county, ND, ! have
been experimenting for number of years.
First, l raised a crop of oats, after that
l put out crop Of beans. After this
crop l put out muskmelons: They make
very desirable change. Then the next
crop was corn and following this was
and picked the fruit the following year,
which cleared me 500 per acre. The
second year ! realized an equal amount
again from the berry crop, and just as
soon as the fruiting season was over l
plowed under the, vines, which was equal
to blowing under a rich clover field, and
Rantfd corn ye snd abq out
40. cents a bushel. SO a little figuring
will show that l realized 1920 per acre
off my land in a single, year. Besides
this, the land is all in apple trees.
AS to the approximate value Of the
orchard that grew so perfectly all the
while was growing berries and corn and
building up my land, it cannot even be
estimated. My apple trees are now seven
years old, and | am putting the whole of
the eight acres in Strawberries us fast as
l can have the ground plowcd. After
reap the harvest of this growing of vines
I will set this part of my farm in grass
or clover leaving it, This crop will pay
taxes and such expenses as my orchard
costs me, leaving the apple crop as my
profit. The remainder of my farm, which
is"now in meadow, l will soon begin to
plow up and treat as l have my orchard
land. Frequent changes Of crops are nee
essary to feed the soil with the different
kinds Of natural nutrition which make
lands stf6hg: | Wottid like very much to
hear from others who ;ite carrying on 4
system of farming similar to my own.

Early Soiling Crops for Feed During
DrOutb


The first thing Oh every farm should
be to SOW one or more extra crops, to be
used as soiling CROP says Charles e.
Wheeler in the Orange Judd Farmer.
Many who keep but one or two cows
and hire them pastured, find that the
cows have little more than a bare ward
us the dry weeks of August come on.
while farmers who keep herd of dairy
cows will find Il good crop of some sue
culent fodder to be paying one. If the
crop IS not used as. taken from the
ground It may be cured and housed for
winter. thus furnishing some extra feed
thate Will not come amiss. Peas and oats
sowed earl y will be in good heart by the
last OF July, and if two or three lots are
soWn: succession may be had that will
last for some weeks. Hungarian millet
may come along at the right time if
soWn; about June 1, and when fed with
!he peas and oats will be much better rel
ished by the cows than if either are fed
alone for any length of time.
70 succeed this may come sweet-corn
fodder " A. succession of this crop may
be had by planting a strip of some early
variety, followed by medium early and
then by Stowell's evergreen. II one
has more corn fodder than can be used

which, it is feared, dairymen are, not pro-
vldlng themselves with as much as they.
should or as the: crop is worthy of, IS
barley. BY sowing it July Is to 30. it
may be harvested during the first week
in August, and will furnish good s,,ccu
lent food long after the stock should
pe III winter quarters, as the frosts do
not injure barley. Good cows and good
care are Indispensable to make the dairy
pay, but good food and plenty of it is
the handspring. .'.' a.,
