and yawned and yawned and fell
asleep" Indignant orators were con-

listen to their speeches, and the pre-
mier had a way of humiliating them.

lord is asleep" burst out an angry

THE ABUSE OF SHADE.

For our hot summers shade around

ever, that, like most other good
things, we may so use shade that it

PREPARE FOR DROUGHT.
Many Seasons That Begin with Co-
piOus DOwnpOurs of Rain End
In Dry Spells.

A look ahead is worth more than
dozen glances behind, unless the
latter are used to draw a lesson
from. After the drought it is poor
consolation to say that if we had
done so and so the crops would have
been saved. 1t is better to be pre-
pared for a drought early in the
season, and to do this is simply to
give the crops the cultivation they
actually need. First we should do
our blowing as early as possible, and
then the harrow and cultivator
should follow the plow at regular in
tervals. BY giving early and deep
and continued cultivation we accu-
mulate moisture in the soil so that
we have a surplus to Withstand any
ordinary droughts. But to retain a
surplus of moisture the soil must
be in a finely pulverized condition.
Lumpy and cloddy soil soon parts
with moisture, either through soak
ing down into the subsoil or being
carried away by the winds and sun.
Deep plowing is necessary at first,
but surface cultivation thereafter is
best. The few inches of topsoil that
is finely pulverized may then dry
out by the hot weather and winds,
but the roots of the plants will find
a moist subsoil which they can
run down to. This is beneficial to
the plants because it strengthens
their power of resistance to drought
and makes them sturdier and more
vigorous growers. Surface feeding
plants are always the first to sue
cumb to drought.
One should use the roller more
freely on soils to store up moisture
against drought. This is particular
ly true on very light, loose soils
where the capillary openings are al
ways so large that water passes too
readily upward and downward. The
roller congresses this soil and
makes it tirmer, so the movement of
the water is slower. Rapid move
ment of the water in the soil, either
upward or downward, is to be avoid
ed. The soil that holds it and re-
fuses to part with it is what we
need. We can get such mechanical
conditions in almost any soil if we
plow, harrow, cultivate and roll
properly. Such preparations against
drought are the best that can be
done, for if the dry spell does not
appear the plants will be benefited
by the cultivation to such an extent
as to pay for all the trouble.-W Z.
Farmer, in Boston Budget.

TIMELY FARM NOTES.

The best way to keep weeds out Of
the fields is to keep fertility in. The
grass will then assert itself and con-
quer the weeds.
Whether potatoes are to be grown
on the level or in ridges depends
largely on the soil and to some ex-
tent Or the season. 1t would be a
mistake to attemSt to raise potatoes
by level culture in a clay soil badly
drained.
When once established alfalfa
should be cut at least three times
yearly, the first cutting occurring in
June, well before the usual time Of
haying. If cutting be delayed quality
suffers. 1t must, therefore, be grown
by itself, unmiXed with grass.
