MOISTURE OF SOL.
How 40 Preserve IL by Means of Ju-
aicious HarroMinv


Narrowing 10 save moisture is thus
treated iii bulletin No. 100 OF the New
York experiment station. The har-
row. besides pulverizing end fning the
soil for the seed bed, is most efficient
in furnishing a soil mulch. The
spring-tooth harrow is in reality cul-
tivator and its action is similar to that
of the cultivator. When used as an in
strument to conserve moisture. the
teeth should penetrate TO the depth of
about three inches, and to produce the
best effect the ridges left by it should
be leveled off by a smoother which can
now be purchased as an attachment to
the harrow. The rlllaSe of orchards
by the harrow is now practiced extern
sively, and nothing short of irrigation

for moisture, particularly upon the
heavier soils. a harrow having plow-
like action of its blades serves 10 pull

Loose mulch evenly. and it leaves most

disc harrow may be beneficial or of
absolute Injury. If the discs are so
set that they cover but a portion OF
the surface of the mulch they leave
q ridge exposed to the action of the
wind and sun anG the rate of evapora-
ton is greatly increased. The disc
should be set at such an angle that the
whole surface shall be stirred or COW
cred. Their chief value lies in their
cutting and pulverizing action on clay
soils. but as conservers of moisture
they are inferior TO the harrow with
plow-like action or the spring tooth.
Soils which need the disc narrower
should generally be gone over again
With some shallower tool. The mel
lower the soil the lighter should be the
work done by the harrow. On most
heavy orchard soils it will be found
necessary to use the heavy tools like
the spring-tooth and disc harrows in
the spring, but if the land is properly
handled it should be in such condition
as to allow the use of a spike-tooth or
smoothing harrow during summer.
This light summer narrowing should
be sufficient to keep down the weeds
and it preserves the soil mulch in most
excellent condition. With such tool
and on land in good filth a man can
harrow ten or more acres day"

FLOWING IN SPRING.

Deepening old Ground Should Al
ways De Done Gradually.
Good crops are dependent upon the
blowing being done well. As it is rather
slow, heavy work. and in the spring is
usually hard on teams, it is always an
item to lessen the amount to be done as
much as possible. If the ground is well
plowed in good season under ordinary
conditions it is comparatively an easy
matter to get the seeding done in good
season. But it is important that the
work be done thorough. There should
be no cutting and covering, nor should
there be an skips. If a stone or root
throws the pillow out, the team should
be stopped and backed up and the fur
row caught again.
With all spring crops it is an item to
stir the soil thoroughly and reasonably
deep. One of the essential conditions in
securing a good growth and yield is to
have the soil in a fine filth when the
planting is done, and thorough blowing
is great aid in getting the soil in
this condition.
In order to lessen the work of the
teams. and at the same time lessen the
cost Of the blowing in many cases, it
Will be found economical to use a some
what larger plow-one that turns
furrow II or 16 inches in preference to
one that turns only 10 or u. With
large pillow and three good horses one
man will be able to do not only more
work. but better work.
1t is a good plan to take every OPP
portunity to pillow. Sod land can be
plowed when fallow land would be too
wet 1t is an exceptional case after
this, when it can be considered good
economy to pillow old land when it is too
wet to work readily into a good filth.

the corn-growing region o this country

belief and utterance of scientific ex-
perts and far-sighted business men.
The cornstalks would soon be as valu-
a lie, if not more so. TO the farmer than
the corn itself The pith has been dis
covered TO be more valuable than any
other substance for protecting the sides
OF battle ships from inrushing water
after being struck by shells. To-day
the best of that padding is made from
cocoanut fiber imported at large cost.
Messrs. Cramp, proprietors of the larg-
est private ship-building plant in this
country, have pronounced in favor of
the cornstalk pith. both for service and
cheapness. They belit re that in a few
years all the battle ships of the world
will be protected by this pith condensed
into a sufficient hardness. Its manufac-
ture into protective pads is being per-
Iected by actual experiments. Prof.
Gibbs further says that from the fiber
smokeless powder can be made at
cost of 70 cents per pound, while that
which the government now uses costs
several dollars for a like quantity. A
beautiful lacquer, waterproof and hard,
can also be made from the stalk. Gel
luloid, too. it is claimed, can be manu-
featured cheaper than from other sub
stances. With the pith drawn ont the
stalk can be ground with other prepare
tions into fodder SO cheap it would be
within the reach of everyone and upon
which cattle would thrive.
Better, finer and cheaper sugar, Prof.
Gibbs says, can be made from it than
from the cane of Louisiana. He further
stated that when these facts became
known and plants started, the farmer
would receive at least $3.50 per ton for
his cornstalks, which he is now some
times at an expense to get rid Of He
thinks ten dollars per acre would be
paid for the stalks after the farmer had
received about a similar price for the
corn. thus doubling the value of the
corn crop.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
