Preserving the water in the Soil.

There are two things which cause a
waste of the soils water-planting the cron
too thick and not storing the soil soon
enough after each rain, says the Southern
Cultivator To grow each pound of cron
requires 360-5O0 pounds of water, so plant
ing crop too thick often consumes. all Of
the moisture before fruiting time. and
right when the crop needs the most moist
ure 1t is practically exhausted. And so
the main energies of the soil have been
spent in making weed, and leaving little
for fruit. Millions of bushels of corn are
lost in the country by using up the moist
ure IN growing the weed of a crop planted
TOO thick. Better plant thinner and be
sure OF good sound average crop than 10

CROP
The farmer should manage to stir the
crop lightly just as soon after rain AS
possible Evaporation takes place enor-
mously fast on a warm windy day Every
bit of moisture eVaporated after the soil
will do TO pillow means a decrease in yield
and a big crop requires an enormous
amount of moisture. Stirring the top of
the soil preserves the moisture in this way
it opens the space between the soil grains
ana Wnen these spaces are as large IS
Sic of an inch they will not lift water from
below by wick action. Hence the water
brought up by the finer pores in the soil
below the loosened layer can not get to the
surface and be evaporated, so it remains
until it is used by the growing crop. The
next rail will compact these particles of
soil, bringing them closer together, and
the space will become small enough to lift
the water to the surface. when it will be
evaporated and lost. The larger the plants
the more the need for stirring the soil
just after each rain for the more water
is needed for their growth,

Sowing Mixed GrainS.

In many parts of the country very salts
factory results can be secured by seeding

threshing and grinding the grain together
Inc combination makes a well-balanced
grain ration and is exceedingly valuable,
particularly for all kinds of young stock
ana for fattening hogs. The amount of
seed of course will depend somewhat upon
the kind of land, but it is usually the Gus

On the first day out from Moosehead

STATE HOUSE.
Contributions Coming in for the Nat
ional Maine Monument,
Two State Officials Apply a Sporting Meaning
to Another's Story.

The day when the school children Of
the United States contributed to the
fund Tor the erection of monument to
the memory of the battleship Maine
and the. heroes of the Cuban war was
last Tuesday. The day passed off 50
quietly. and there was so little said
about it at the time, that perhaps
many do not know there was a collec-
ton taken. Circulars had been sent
out by Superintendent stetson, telling
the teachers and the superintendent.
Of the plans of the national committee.
and there We're blanks sent to each
town upon application upon which the
pupils were to write their names that
were to be preserved in the vault in
the monument. It was part of their
intention to gather the signatures of
the scholars of the country in connec-
ton with their other work.
The day was observed in some sparts
of the State, while in others no at
tention was paid to it. One of these
latter places was Augusta, as the
teachers and the committee did not like
the idea of going into the schools for
money.
The towns that did take the collec-
tons are sending in their returns. II
was plainly marked on the instructions
to send the signatures to Paul Latzke.
the secretary of the association. The
money orders and checks were to be
made payable to the order of George
y. Gould.
Instead of following the instructions
many nave sent their money to the
superintendent of schools, and the
many ways in which it comes, is anus
ing. Among the first to be received
was box containing over 400 coppers,
that represented the collections taken in
one town. This came by express.
Others have sent personal checks,
postage stamps, money orders.
Secretary Wiggin, of the educational
department, says that as they will, in
all probability, send the money to the
treasurer in one money order or check,
they are in position to supply any
parties wishing to obtain pennies for
games of penny ante in any number
required, and Furthermore, they will
be willing to do so to get rid of the
large stock they have on hand.
