nRY FARMING.

Dry farming is q method of work
ing the soil which is being applied
with much success n the semiarid re-
g1ons OF Wyoming and COlueado. 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 ere not
lfr1gabie either for want Of a water
supply or because the topography Of
the country viii not admit OF 1t. This
new method is an outgFowth OF what
IL known as the Campbell system.
Inc plan is to plow the soil very deep
Ia the fall or late summer, making
Il receptive and retentive bed for
what small amount of moisture falls,
giving light surface cultivation fol
loving each rain to prevent evapora-
tion In the spring the crop is sown
or planted as elsewhere, followed by
surface cultivation Of such crop to as
great degree as posslbie. The results
are really remarkable, as much as
th'Fty-fve bushels Of the finest wheat
Id the world being secured from land
Whlcl was not long ago dedicated to
the prairie dog and such scant grass
growth that each "critter" was given
twenty-five acres to browse It 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 passible.
1t looks as though the great American
desert was to be reclaimed after all

THE FARMERS FOES.

The farmer has always and ever
three things to contend with~-weeds,
insects and the freakishness Of eli

sure TO crop out ON his land and usurp
It's fertility IL not fought and subdued,
the plague OF insect life lies in wait
ID some Form or other for every crop
which he may plant, while June and
early September frosts, foods and
drDughfs, cyclones and hailsforms, too
much or too little heat, make - q
combination which be Is utterly pow
erless to control or even evade.

NO RACE SUICIDE AMONG BIRDS.
We are asked how many Of our
birds raise more than one brood OF
young In a season. The English spar
row, the most prolific Of any Of our
common birds, will begin nesting In
March and keep It up until July and
sometimes even later. It 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 incubate the second
time; but, as a general rule, all our
birds, with the exceptions noted, raise
but one brood Of young In a year. THIS
is a 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

WHY DOES HE WANT TO Make
MORE MONEY!

MOEAG G1OI&E&
We do not know. 1t would seem as
though he had enough, far more than
he can possibly use or eDjoy--but he
is just as fierce and eager to rake in
some more dollars as though he had
mortgage coming due on his houle and
not enough money to pay 1t. BE 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 his community
than he now has-he has come to the
point where money can do nothing at
all for him save to crafty hts lust
for it and grAtify that brutal sense Of
power over others which money gives
He might, Of course want more for
the sake Of using ii fur the benefit Of
other people, but be long since got
himself divorced from any such fool-
ish notions and now wants more Just
because the getting of II has become
as much Of 3 disease with hin as a
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 Il d gone.
He will keep on just in the Old way,
and some day there will be a funeral
some probate proceedings, an obituary
notice and he will be forgotten just
as SO many of bis kind have been be-
fore You know him?
