Prevention of Waste.

Success in farming, as in every 9TH
er business, depends upon the proven
ton of waste 1t is waste of land
to give it only half the cultivation it
needs; it is waste of feed to give it
to poor animal; it is waste of time
to spend it half-doing thing. If the
wasted land-now given over to weeds,
or only half cultivated the wasted
crops-on1y partially gathered-the
wasted feed improperly fed, were
utilized to their fullest extent anoth'

the Oil and let the leather soak full
Then I rinse it out, let the oil drip off
into the tank and hang it back in it's
place. All harnesses can be handled
in this way, except collars and cush-
ions, which will take up too much oil
and consequently take the hair from
the horses shoulder in the course of
time. To these the Gil should be APP

which are covered with water
throughout the greater portion of the
year, are valueless for farming pur.
poses: There could be no greater de-
lusion: In many cases the excess OF
water does prevent their successful
cultivation. but in nearly all cases this
surplus water can be easily removed
and the land thus brought one step
nearer the ideal state for cultivation
In all ordinary cases the removal can
best be accomplished with either tile
or open drains, and attention to drain
age should always be the first step in
the reclamation of these lands. II
this matter is attended to, it is not
likely tn t serious difficulty will be
encountered in bringing them to a
high state of fertility. In the event
that they fail to produce satisfactorily
after the drainage question has been
settled, the defect may arise from one
or two causes. Either they contain
excessive amounts of some substances
such as proto-oxid Of iron, which is
known to be poisonous to- plants, OF
else, the soil is deficient in some avail
able form of plant-food. IT sometimes
happens, though rarely, that the form
er difficulty arises with soils. When
the proto-oxid of iron does occur in
excessive amounts, the fact can be cas-
lily detected by the unusually dark col
or of the SOIL which also will soon as
sumo reddish tinge when fresh por
lions of it are exposed to the air
Such exposure causes the lower oxi6
(proto-oxid) of iron to acquire an ad
ditional amount Of oxygen, and be-
come converted into the higher ''ses
qui oxid'' form which is entirely
harmless to vegetation. Where this
difficulty arises with a soil, it is easy
to see that the remedy is very sim
pie. Tt will only be necessary to thor
oughly pulverize and work the sol
from time to time so as to expose por
tons to the air. In this way the chem.
ical change noted above will proceed
without difficulty. Often, frequent
deep plowings and narrowing dur
ing single season will SUI
flee to bring about the de.
slider change in this Objectionable
form of iron oxid When this Difficult
ty has been remedied, and the me-
chanical filth of the land properly at
tended to, the failure of muck lands
can usually be attribu to defcien-
cy of available plant-food. This de-
ficiency will need to be supplied by
applications of the proper fertilizers
These are the chief problems that con
front the farmer who undertakes the
reclamation of soils of this character
and by giving proper attention to the
several points to which attention has
been called, it ought to be an easy
matter for him to bring all such lands
into a profita BILE state of cultivation
