reach it. 2. Keep the soil al
Rys fine and loose. s. Have a
Tn, solid foundation under the soil
Ia bottom to hold the water. What
Il this accomplish?' I asked. The
g reful, regular application of these
Mnciples in farming will produce at
leRst three times the results of ordin-
a3y farming, and often four and five
tines the results, said Mr.. Campbell.
zN1r. Campbell stores the rainfall by
Aeping the surface of the ground al
WAYS loose. This is a principle long
known to all intelligent farmers but
not often Systematically applied. The
difference in Mr.. Campbell's method
IS that it is more thorough and per-
s1stent. This is the plan he follows:
Stirring up the soil with revolving
disk and then going over it again and
filling up the furrow. We call this
double-disking.' It pulverizes the
soil and levels it off. We keep going
over it again and again, beginning
early in the spring and continuing I'M
til the last of June or the first part of
July. After every rain we stir up
the soil, either with a disk or an Acme
harrow. Finally we pillow seven
inches deep in the ordinary way and
follow the pillow with a subsurface
packer-a machine which makes a
compact, solid bottom, four inches
IRON the surface, under the loose soil.
Ihen we 60 over it again with the
Acme harrow so as to keep the top
SOL loose and pulverized. After
working the soil for a year in this
WY, by what we call summer tilling,
We put in our wheat, either in the fall
orin the spring, as is usual. The first
year we do not put in any seed. We
slmply keep stirring up the soil so
that it will remain loose and pulver.
llzed, and after one year of this sort OF
fcultivation three crops can be grown
inS succession without renewing the
tilling. In some cases it is better
to8ill every other year and raise a
crop alternate years.
HThorough working of the soil is
the,open secret of Mr.. Campbell's sue.
cess, and this should be no secret:
but it is fact that this important
principle is too often neglected. Even
in Minnesota, where rainfall is usually
abundant, occasional periods OF
dronth come when the moisture in the
soil needs to be carefully conserved.
lSuceessful dry farming will insure
crops in many places where crop fail.

CROPS WILL Be BIG.
Indications Point to an Exceptionally
Abundant Yield of Small Grains
and Corn in Northwest.
Black Rust to Any Formidable Extent
Merely an Attempted Scare by
Grain Specializing Sharks.

Despite contrary reports from grain
sharks: whose cry is black rust and
so forth, railroad officials of the
granger lines running into Chicago
have received most encouraging re-
ports from special correspondents at
all points in the west. AS gathered
from these reports every farmer
this year is golden farmer. Gran
aries and elevators are grooming in
anticipation of the loads they will
have to bear. Railroad officials are
preparing moving facilities from
| figures that break records.
Twelve states that produced total
of 1,606, 962, 046 bushels of corn in
1904 will have crop aggregating
$50. 49,, 800 bushels more than that
amount this year if present condi-
tions meet with no unexpected change.
The same states, producing 354, 724, 26e
bushels of wheat last year, have
yielded an increase of 112.O37, 2S6
bushels this season-more than thirty
per cent.
Oats show gain in the same terri
tory, according to indications, OF
more than 100, 100000 bushels over the
6S5, sl0,245 bushels produced in 1904.
And in spite Of this remarkable out
look prices have been maintained at a
high notch.
Wheat, the finest crop in ten years
and in some areas surprising any
previous yield, now past all danger
from rust and other ills caused by the
weather, is now in the hands of the
harvesters, or practically ready for
them in South Dakota.
Corn, several days ahead of the
crop at this time last year, and its
percentages of bushels to the acre
running ahead of the 100 mark, is
bursting to maturity in the broad belt
Tin Illinois and beyond the Missis.

The Telegraphers, Strike.

Commercial clubs and merchants
and farmers organizations along the
lines of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railway in Minnesota
are asked to take action to end the
present telegraphers' strike. The
wheat harvest throughout Minnesota
and the Dakotas has begun and the
work of moving a big crop will, it is
said, test the capacities of the roads,
even under normal conditions.
Reports from some points say that
operators at such places have returned
to work satisfied with a new schedule
submitted to them. The restrictions
on perishable goods has been removed
by both roads, although bills for
freight consigned to some stations
are required to be prepaid.
On the whole both railroad systems
are apparently not largely inconven-
fenced by the strike, although Presi-
dent Perham denies that there has
been any serious detection from the
ranks of the strikers and says that the
companies are not securing sufficient
operators to be of much service to
them. He denied that there was
possibility of a general sympathetic
strike on the part of the engineers and
tr2inmenyshut 80

Fire at Bogus Brook.

A barn containing eight tons of hay
and chicken coop on the premises
OF Henry Johnson at Bogus Brook
was destroyed by fire last Friday
while the family was in Princeton.
There is no certainty as to the origin
OF the fire. but Mr.. Johnson thinks
that perhaps a spark from the pipe
which he was smoking in the barn
short time before starting for Prince
ton was responsible for the loss. An
insurance of $3.50 was carried on the
barn and its contents.

GOOD ROADS.

Good roads are the best possible
investment in any community.
There is not an interest that is not
benefited by such improvements.
1t makes all sorts of farm products
more valuable by making markets
more accessible. Land located on
good roads obviously becomes more
valuable as residence property, for
it may be more easily and pleas
antly reached.
Considering the Importance of
good roads, 1t is of vital moment
that object lessons in their build
ing should be we'll taught. For
this reason none but the most skill
full engineers and the most con-
scientious contractors should be
employed in building model roads.
If the Improvement proves good
and permanent, it will soon con-
vince the taxpayers that more such
road is desirable, and development
in that line will follow. Should
the model road prove defective, it
would be a serious setback to the
cause.
