SOIL MOISTURE.

BIS Management nm Art That Calls
For Intelligent Use of Farm Tools.
BY JOSEPH \. JEFFERY. Michigan EI-
pertinent Station.
Certain methods OF moisture man
agement are necessary. These call
largely for the intelligent use Of farm
tools. This is an art, and great art,
which every farmer should master. A
soil may contain an excessive amount
Of capillary moisture, and 1t Is not al
ways desirable or convenient to watr
for its removal by natural means. The
farm tool must be brought into use.
II Ii presumed that the land La drained
best tiled drained. IL Ii LIS not and
this excessive moisture L. common, not
many seasons should pass before II Is
drained.
If the land has not been plowed, then
the plow will probably be the tool
used If the soil be clay or clay
loan
First.-Use a plow with slanting
moldboard and do not plow deep, for
the abrupt moldboard and deep plow-
ing will both have the effect of unduly
packing the soil when overwet, which
should be avoided.
Second.-After blowing do not allow
the soil to dry too long before it Is gone
over with spike tooth harrow or. bet
ter under some conditions, with roller,
followed shortly by spike tooth. The
object Of the narrowing is to prevent
the forming OF hard Jumps at the sur
face In the drying OF the soil, as Is al
most sure to occur in the soils named
IL allowed to dry too long before a mel
lowing tool Is used. 1t is easy enough
to tell by feeling or even by the eye
when this mellowing process should
begin. 1t is not practiced as much as 1t
should be.
The use Of the roller as suggested
will often improve the quality OF the
mellowing, but In any case will bring
the newly piowed soil in more COM
plete contact with that below, which Is
a thing to be desired in spring plowing,
and will at the same time improve the
capillary conditions Of tho newly plow-
ed soil.
If the soil has already been either
fall or spring plowed, then the use Of
one OF two tools may be suggested:
First-If the soil Ia loose, the roller
may be used. Its use will more thor
oughly compact the soil grains, and
moisture will rise moro rapidly through
a reasonably compacted soil than 1t
will through q more open one. When
roller is SO used care should be taken
not to allow the drying to go too far,
for In such q case the surface may be-
come overdry and even cloddy. At the
proper time some stirring tool should
be used. The use Of the roller for this
purpose should be exercised with much
care.
Sscond.-The disk harrow may be
used The use Of the disk harrow viii
bring the more moist layers Of soil to
the surface and thus expose them to
the action OF the sun and wind.

NERVE PILLS.

The world is full of women whose
daily life is one long struggle against
diseases peculiar to their sex whose
days and nights are full of quiet, patient
suffering. The head the seat Of pain
and pressure the result of nerve de-
preston and physical weakness brought
on by uterine or ovarian trouble-the
nerves on edge inclined to laugh or cry
at anytbing-an ever present dragging
in the back, hips and limbs--a feeling
OF utter eariness-lassitude and des-
pondency. To these people DR. A. w
Chase,s Nerve Pills are of Incompatible
value, having as they do the power to
rebuild, to reinvigorate and rrsupply
every organ, every nerve. every muscle
with the lost energy, and to insure a
complete return TO health, strength and
yigor again.
Mrs. John Bailey of Jackson ST., Penn
Yam. N. Y, says:
Il was told that DIR. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills were great nerve medicine,
and as / needed one badly, got box.
My nerves were very weak-I lacked
ambition and strength and my heart
action was very weak. / used the Pills
as directed and they made my nerves
quiet and steady-the hearr action
strong and regular and the appetite
good. my sleep became restful and /
fell altogether like another person.

as well, they are grand, curing the
headaches and heavy, dragging feeling
rapidly and easily-this | know from
experience, and i am glad to recon-
mend them"

Those subject to sore throat viii find
the following preparation simple, cheap
and highly efficacious when used In
the early stage: Pour pint Of boiling
water on thirty leaves of the common
sage and let the infusion stand for an
hour; add vinegar sufficient to make 1t
pleasantly acid and honey to taste.
The mixture should be used as a gar
gle twice a day. There is no danger
If some of It t4s-swallowed.

Care of Harness.

Take the harness to a room where
you can unbuckle It and separate the
parts completely. Wash each part well
In lukewarm water to which has been
added little potash. Scrub well with
d brush until all the grease and dust
have been removed. Work the pieces
well under the hand until they become
supple. 1t won't do to oil until IL be-
comes 80. Let the parts dry In a place
where they will do so slowly. When
just moist, oil. For this purpose use
cod liver oil. 1t is the best for the pur-
pose. Besides, If you were to use meats
foot the rats and mice are your enc
mics at once. while they viii not touch
harness oiled with cod nvor oil Give
O good dose Of oil to oil parts. then
hang up to dry. When dry. rub well
with soft rag.

WAR NOTES.

Kirin, the city of Northern Man
churia. for which the Jap army is head
ing al present, il large town, located
in beautiful and fertile valley, and is
at the head of navigation of the Sun
guri river.
1t has population of about 10000,
and Is headquarters for the tobacco
trade of that section-the "Manchu
leaf" being great faEorite in China.
Before the building of the Russian rail
roads it had population of 100000.
The Jap army is due there next Mon
day, but late fall of snow. which mud
died the roads, may interfere with
Marshal Oyama's calculations.
The Russian army. said to consist of
from 200, 900 to 300. 900 men is said TO be
entrenching itself at Gunshu Pass, but
the Jap army seems to be passing to the
east of it, and be heading for Kirin and
the railroad from Harbin to Vladivos-
took without paying any attention to
ii, and the European residents OF the
large towns are fleeing, as nobody seems
to believe that the Russian army can
make a successful stand against the
Japs.
In Financial Circles Russia is con-
sidered beaten and helpless and can
borrow no more money; though they Of
fered per cent; while the Jap loan was
doubly subscribed for in this county
and in England at A. per cent.
Disturbances continue in Russia, the
latest being among the peasantry, and
the government is harassed by peace
and war factions It is not probable
that any reasonable overtures for peace
will be made, and in the meantime the
Japs will take Vladivostock, and Rus
sia will be shut out of the eastern sea.
A curious feature of the situation is
the activity of the Chinese government
in increasing its army and navy. That
government is as autocratic and rotten
as the Russian, if not more so, and the
wonderful success of the Japs may re-
suit in changes there as well as in
Russia.
On Tuesday it was stated that the
Russian squadron lately at Madagascar
had sailed for Vladivostock ON March
10th, but the route taken was net made
public If it goes by way of straits OF
Sunda or around Australia. it may
escape Togo, and reach its destination,
and then there will be blockade and
siege similar to the Port Arthur affair.
