DRY farming Is method OF work
Ing the soil which Is being applied
with much success In the semiarid re-
gions Of Wyoming and Colorado. This
Is perhaps one Of the most significant
and far reaching things connected with
agriculture at the present time. There
are millions Of acres Of fertile land In
the regions referred to which are not
irrigable either for want of a water
supply or because the topography Of
the country will not admit of It, This
new method Is an outgrowth of what
Is known as the Campbell system.
The plan Is to pillow the soil very deep
in the fall or late summer, making
it receptive and retentive bed for
what small amount Of moisture falls,
giving a light surface cultivation fol-
lowing each rain to prevent evapora-
ton. In the spring the crop is sown
or planted as elsewhere, followed by
surface cultivation of such crop to as
great degree as possible. The results
are really remarkable, as much as
thirty-five bushels Of the finest wheat
in the world being secured from land
which was not long ago dedicated to
the prairie dog and such scant grass
growth that each "critter'' was given
twenty-five acres to browse. 1t Is
found that the best results are OBJ
tanned when the land Is cropped only
every other year, the interim being de-
voted to such treatment Of the SOIL as
indicated above. as will store up the
largest amount Of moisture possible.
1t looks as though the great American
desert was to be reclaimed after all

REYERSION.

The different breeds of domestic ami
mails which are generally known under
the name Of thoroughbreds are the re-
suit Of many years work, Of careful
selection and breeding to a type often
very far removed from that Of the
original ancestry-are, In way, purely
artificial breeds and can only be main
tanned in their excellence by continued
careful breeding and infusion Of the
best strains Of like blood. Left alone,
the law of reversion to original types
soon gets in its work, and a very few
generations take them back to the
original scrub type. This applies not
only to domestic animals, but to poul-
try and to quite an extent to grains
and fruits. The best of type Is hard
to create and still harder to maintain.

NO RACE SUICIDE AMONG BIRDS.
We are asked how many Of our
birds raise more than one brood Of
young tn q season. The English spar
row. the most prolific of any Of our
common birds, will begin nesting in
March and keep 1t up until July and
sometimes even later. 1t Is safe to
say that they will hatch from two to
four broods in season. The quail
will sometimes hatch two broods in a
season. and many other birds, If they
have their nests broken up or young
destroyed, Will tncubate the second
time; but, as general rule, all our
birds, with the exceptions noted. raise
but one brood of young in year. This
is wise provision of nature; other
wise birds would easily become one of
the greatest plaques with which the
farmer and fruit grower would have
to contend
