For instance, there is "balmy on the

BARN, signifying yeast. The conjunc-

are "a bit touched" "a tile loose"

FARMING IN ARID REGIONS,
The Campbell System of Soil Culture
Success in Colorado.

A report has been made recently
upon the results of the Campbell sys.
tenn of soil culture for sem-arid lands
declared success.
Tests of the Campbell system have
been made on large scale during the
last few years and the results have
been uniformly satisfactory. The
method may be used in regions where
the yearly rainfall does not fall below
nor much exceed twelve inches
Its success does not depend upon the
time of year when the RAM comes. 1t
may therefore be applied in the vast
drybelt that extends north and south
through eastern Colorado and western
Kansas and Nebraska and once formed
part Of the Great American Desert.
Simplicity is feature of the Camp.

The three points TO be observed by
the farmer are First, that the surface
soil must be loosened and stirred so
that the natural rain waters will be
readily absorbed by the ground; sec.
ond, that the moisture must be stored
and held in the ground by sufficient
cultivation of the surface to prevent
evaporation. and, third, that the reten.
ton or movement of the water must
be controlled for productive use.

to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
l got up after n few DAYS. and let
the girl go. had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to

then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret

face | wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite

and thought nothing about it.
But the rash on Charities poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. l had never seen any
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little Jumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer He wouldn't
eat, and night after night walked
the floor with him, weak as / was.

faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain OF all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
~ believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of

and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. |

to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
