DRY FARMING.

"Dry farming" is a 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 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 a degree as possible. The results
are really remarkable, as much as
thirty-flve 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.

THE TENANT FARMER.

Conditions are such throughout the
country now that the tenant farmer of
necessity has become a very important
factor in the agricultural business of
the country: The increased value of
farm land, coupled with the great in.
crease in population, of necessity COM
pels each year a larger number of men
to rent land belonging to others. Up
to this time the renting of land has
been at best makeshift arrangement,
the tenant not wishing to operate a
farm for an extended term of years
and the landlord unwilling to make
such improvements and furnish such
facilities as would make his farm de-
sirable for long term tenant
The time has come now when this
must change. All tenants will consult
their best interests when they secure a
good farm on long time lease, while
the landlord will get a better return
for his investment by furnishing
modern equipment for his farm. The
great drawback connected with the
short time lease is that it almost COM
pCio a WIOuS SySlclli vi ldTLuluS-lllt
growing of grain and the selling of
nearly all Of the products of the farm,
while the only way in which the fer.
tility of the soil can be maintained is
by proper rotation OF crops and the
keeping of a sufficient amount OF stock
on the farm to consume all OF its prod.
ucts. Today If we wanted to rent a
farm we should look for good one
which could be obtained on long
lease, not less than five years. where
the owner would be willing to coop.
crate in the matter Of stocking the
farm with well bred animals. We
know Of several cases where this was
done five years ago. where the owner
has received good rate OF interest on
mis- investment ami the tenant has
made enough money so that he feels
able In the near future TO buy a farm
for himself. This he never could have
done to have shifted from farm to
farm each year The best of it is that
the farm so operated is more valuable
and in better condition than when it
was rented under these conditions.

WHY DOES HE WANT TO MAKE
MORE MONEY!

We do not know. IT would seem as
though he had enough-far more than
he can possibly use or enjoy-but he
is just as fierce and eager to rake in
some more dollars as though he had
mortgage coming due on his home and
not enough money to pay it. He can't
wear any more or better clothes; he
can't eat any more or better food;
more money will not give him any
better reputation In he's community
than he now has-he has come to the
point where money can do nothing at
all for him save to crafty his lust
for 1t and crafty that brutal sense of
power over others which money gives.
He might, of course, want more for
the sake of using it for the benefit Of
other people, but he long since got
himself divorced from any such fool
ish notions and now wants more just
because the getting of it has become
as much of a disease with him as
cancer or the consumption would be.
He has so denied himself In years
gone by in order to make money that
all power of enjoying it is now gone.
He will keep on just in the old way.
and some day there will be funeral.
some probate proceedings, an obituary
notice, and he will be forgotten just
as so many of his kind have been be-
fore. You know him?

NO RACE SUICIDE AMONG BIRDS.

We are asked how many of our
birds raise more than one brood Of
young in 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
season, and many other birds. if they
have their nests broken up or young
destroyed, will incubate 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.

ANN ARRoR,s VICTORY.

Ann ArobOr, Mich. Nov. 1S.-Michi- gan's football eleven defeated Wiscon- sin on Ferry field this afternoon. 12 to o, scoring one touchdown in each half. The first touchdown was almost a re- plica of the play which gave Minnesota her first touchdown against Wiscon- sin at Minneapolis two weeks ago.
 Wisconsin played the game out with out a substitute, although Deering, Roseth and Bertke were cut and bleed ing before the game had progressed fif- teen minutes. Michigan used two sub stitutes. TOday's victory by Michigan brings this years struggle for the western championship down to Michi- gan and Chicago, as Minnesota the only other team that looked strong enough to contend for the honor has already been defeated by Wisconsin. The game in Chicago on Thanksgiving day therefore will settle decisively which team shall hold this coveted honor.
