trees lose their strength. But
it is noticed that if quantity
of coarse sand be scattered
over a bit of soil, no matter how
dry the summer, there will al
ways be beneath it moist earth.
So it was argued that if the
bottom of the plowed surface
could be packed to retain the
spring rains, and the top Of the
field could by frequent harrow
ing be kept in sandlike state
of f1neness, the full value of
the rainfall might be utilized.
The flood of muddy waters that
formerly rushed away toward
the sea after every rain ceases,
for the rains have gone into
the ground where they fell. 1t
is a new condition, and one that
appeals to the farmer with
force.-From Pushing Back

There are twenty-five million
six hundred thousand acres OF
arabic land in Minnesota un-
occupied, capable Of sustaining
a population of five million
people, while thousands are
pouring though the State to
North Dakota and Canada be-
cause Minnesota does not let
the world know her adj
vantages. A bill is now before
the legislature appropriating
$4,000 annually for a board Of
immigration, whose duty it
shall be to collect and dissemin-
ate information as to the re-
sources and advantages Of the
state. The bill is a good one,

FARMING in THE SEMI-ARID
REGION

In 1894, year of widespread
drought, South D. k o a
farmer, HI. w. Campbell, who
had been experimenting in til
ling his claim, surprised his
neighbors by harvesting a crop
of potatoes that averaged one
hundred and forty-two bushels
an acre on thirty-two acres,
while those on adjoining farms
were nearly failure. He gave
as his guide in conquering the
semi-arid conditions variation
from the usual method of til
lage. Ordinarily, the farmer
turns over the furrow with
the plow and cultivates the
top only sufficiently to insure
the destruction of the weeds.
Mr.. Campbells plan was to
plow very deep, and, by means
of specially constructed i'm
p1ements, pack the bottom of
the furrow.> The top he kept
we'll cultivated, approaching as
closely as possible to making
fine dust over the entire field.
Even when there were no
weeds showing, the cultivation
was continued, the object being
to form a blanket of fine soil
above the seed-bed and so re-
tain to the end of the season a
greater portion than usual of
the rainfall, somewhat limited
in that longitude. The theory
was simple and the practice
easy. 1t has gained wide fol-
lowing, and is becoming one of
the accepted principles of the
farming of the new West. It
means, when carried to perfec-
ton, that the natural rain
waters will be absorbed readily
into the ground, that they will
be held there by the packing of
the bottom of the furrow slice,
and that undue evaporation
will be prevented by the
stratum of dust above.
Over the semi-arid region,
where the rainfall is only about
twelve inches a year, little or
no moisture falls after the mid
die of June until autumn. Then
it is that the corn withers, the
wheat shrivels, and the fruit

Along in the '9Os a New York
woman read the story of Jonah
and the whale to her husband
and they discussed it. The
gentleman seemed deeply
interested and the next morn
ing when he put on his hat to
go down town he said, II have
never seen a whale; [ believe
I'll look for one" That was a
good many years ago and. now
the wife is suing for divorce
because she believes that her
husband told little fish story
of his own, as she has never
seen him since. The moral of
this true story is that it takes
very little to start some men

The Doq Knew.

A retriever not long ago was sent
into a ditch to bring out winged
partridge. The dog picked up the
scent. rushed along the bottom Of the
ditch under the brambles, and after .
little cropping about emerged on the
bank with an old rusty kettle. holding
1t by the handle. Laughter greeted
this performance.

the dog brought the kettle to him.
Taking It from his mouth his master
put his hand into the kettle. the lid

the kettle to hide and the dog. not
being able to draw 1t out, Just brought

however, come the Siberians and with

quantities of butter. These steamers

There can be but little doubt that
the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia,
who has just attained her seventh
birthday, is the wealthlest little girl
in the world. Immediately after her
birth something like million pounds
was settled upon her. the huge sum
being safely invested in England and
France. II she lives to reach her ma
jority her marriage settlement is like
ly to be the largest on record. No one
knows the extent Of the white cars

gold and ether mines in Siberia which
bring in a revenue, the amount of
which is never made public.

Too Much unripe Cheese.

Too much unripe cheese is being
sent to market. Not only is the local
market at this time of year full of un.
ripe cheese, but large quantities are
being sent abroad. This applies ia
cheese shipped from Canada as well
as from the United States. Resent
dispatches from England say that
cheese arriving there is of too green n
nature to sell well, The greatest OBJ.
stacle to the development of both tie

green cheese. This subject has been
discussed at about every cheese max.
ers' convention held, but nothing has
been done to prevent unripe cheese
from being put on the market. IL is
evident that one man holding back his
cheese till it is cured will not heir
the situation greatly. There must be-
some concerted movement to keep all
nut properly ripened cheese off the
market, If only first-class chees,
could be put onto the market its sal,

Dairyinu in Cuba.

government report on the dairy
conditions existing in Cuba says:
Cows from the states are often seen
in daries near the larger cities. Some
of them do well and some do not. A
few importers have made the serious
mistake of taking cows to Cuba from
the northern states and they have
suffered heavy losses on this account.
A wealthy planter took to southern
Cuba fifteen cows, which he said had
cost $50 each in New York. and $50
each for transportation. Soon after
their arrival ten of them died of
Texas fever. When northern cows
are confined and carefully fed and
cared for. they usually remain
healthy, but as soon as they are put
on pasture or neglected they are in
great danger Of exposure to the ticks
and to Texas fever. During the war,
American cattle were kept about a
year in Santiago (their milk some.
times selling as high as a dollar a
gallon. They were fed hay and grain
from the North. 1t is reported that
some of them died, but the calves

Care of Milk for Cheese.

Geo. II. Barr, a cheese instructor,
says: Cows should not be allowed to
drink impure water from dirty water
Ing troughs. stagnant pools or ponds,
or soakase from barnyards. They
should not receive any rye, rape or
turnips-these things cause tainted or
gassy milk, which is the cause or
a very great loss in the manufacture
of milk into cheese, and, hence, loss
TO the patron Sour. or over.ripe milk
is caused by leaving or keeping 1t at
too high temperature. MIX for
cheese making should never be left at
a temperature above 20 degrees Even
ing's milk should be cooled to about
IS degrees. If the milk Is to be kept
from Saturday till Monday. II should
be cooled to 60 degrees Saturday night,
and kept as near that temperature as
possible, without any stirring on Sun
day. The cows udder and flank must
be clean before commencing to milk;
wipe them with damp cloth, and
milk with dry hands into clean, bright
tin pals Wooden or galvanized pals
should never be used for milk. Strain
the milk as soon as 1t Is drawn from
the COW, through either two thick
nesses of cheese cloth, or a very fine
wire strainer, or both, putting the
cloth over the wire. Cool the milk by
putting the cans or pals into cold wa.
ter. Stirring 1t with clean, long
handled dipper will allow the ami
NAL odor to pass off, and aid in cool
ing the milk more rapldly.
