Dry Farmfn

The Campbell system Of dry farm
Ing, which was first tried in the semi
arid portions of North Dakota and
about which much has appeared In
newspapers and magazines within the
past year or two, is doing great things
for many portions of the Western
States, where with rainfall Of but
ten or twelve inches per annum bumper
crops of corn, wheat beetS and other
crops can be grown. This system of
crop culture is based on the conSerya-
ton Of practically all Of the moisture
in the soil through dust or surface
mulch, and under 1t as high as forty
bushels Of corn to the acre have been
grown in North Dakota, fifty bushels
of wheat per acre in western Nebraska,
while better than twenty tons of beets
have been produced in Colorado. While
this method of crop culture has little
value in those portions OF the country
where there is an abundant rainfall, it
does have tremendous import In all
territory where there is fertility in
the soil, but an annual rainfall of less
than twenty inches.

Libelous Valentines.

The Philadelphia comic valentine case
has reached another interesting stage.
1t began with the sending of the Offend
ing miSsivc last February, and was then
enlivened by the recipients lawyer de-
handing that the sender be brought into
court to answer to the charge of crim-
nal libel Both the complainant and de-
PENDANT are women and related by mar
riage, and the proceedings show an add
ed bitterness on this account. Several
months after the charge was made the
grand jury returned bill Of indictment,
and then the lawyer for the defense filed
Il demurrer to have this indictment
quashed. But the judge refused to sus-
tain it. He declared that valentines Of
the character of the one under discus
sion. in which the recipient was alluded
to as a scandal-monger, busybody. a
mischief maker, afford ample grounds
for suits of the character instituted, and
that when such libelous valentine
leaves the sender's possession it is clear
ly in circulation according to the letter
of the law.
1t is possible that this Philadelphia
case will prove Il warning and deter
rent for those persons who, under cloak
of anonymity, use the sO-called comic
valentine as a means of venting their
malice If so, it will not be prosecuted
in vain.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

Wiudfall NDDIes.

What to do with the windfall apples
Is problem that gives the owner Of
every large orchard considerable CON
Germ as the time for picking apples APP
prouches. Where one IS provided with
an evaporator or IS so fixed that he
can convert this defective fruit into
vinegar, the problem IS comparatively
simple But where neither method Of
dsposing of this product of the orchard
is possible 1t is a question what is the
best thing to do. An effective method
of disposing Of such apples and one
which gives a certain return Is to turn
droves of hogs or sheep into the or
chard periodically and allow them to
clean them up, This not only disposes
Of the apples, but the worms as well,
as such apples are usually wormy. IN
any case it Is best to remove the wind
falls from beneath the trees, and If
they cannot be disposed Of in any Of
the methods suggested 1t is best to put
them on the pillow land with the manure
and turn them under.

Care of Orchards pays.

Fruit growers about Saugatuck
Mich, have been busy trimming their
apple trees, says Country Gentleman
Ten years ago they We're thinking OF
cutting them down and setting out
peach trees. To-day every half dead
tree Is trimmed, and If there is not
enough manure, fertilizer is bought for
these half-dead trees. Six years agl
one Of Saugatuck's young farmers mar
ried Chicago girl who used to spend
her vacation there She loved country
life, and was n subscriber to agricul
tural magazines, Her husbands or
chard was just like the rest, untrimmed
and had never been sprayed. She made
him buy manure, trim the trees. pillow
and spray. Two years ago he began
to hire his neighbours orchards. Last
year he was the only one who had ap
pies to sell, and cleared $4,000.

STRANGE INDIAN REMEDIES.

Great virtues are ascrihod in India TO

Corn Root LOnse.

Time spent in killing insect pests
must usually be set down as so much
time lost from the constructive work
Of improving the filth of the soil, and
attending to the other needs of the
crops. Occasionally, however an i'm
proved system of cultivation gets rid
of our insect enemies at the same time.
This is consplcuously the case in the
method recently proposed by Prof.
Forbes, of Illinois, for destroying the
corn root louise.
The pest works havoc to both sweet
and field corn. The small brown ant
attends the louise and is responsible
for carrying it about the field. Pro
fessor Forbes found that by using n
disk harrow one to three times early
in the spring, before the corn is plant
ed, from 50 to % per cent of the ants
and corn root lice are destroyed. and
no further treatment is required dur
Ing the season. The peculiar virtues
of this remedy are that it is simple.
effective and good for the corn. since
the soil is thereby put In a better state
of cultivation

Sheep the Market Demands.

Says Western writer on sheep g:
The market calls for sheep with n darl;
face aud legs, and a close fleece is al
advantage. There never has been a
time when fair profit could not he
obtained from the keeping Of sheep
There are in the world to-day 90,00O0JD
fewer sheep than twelve years ago, and
the consumption of mutton and wool is
rapidly increasing, hence it is safe to
conclude that sheep to the farmer is a
safe proposition. Do not start on a
large scale; begin low and work up
The Western farmer does not like to do
this, and you are no exception. You
have never planted the apple because
you did not expect to stay to eat the
fruit. You must rush on and do big
things. Do you not know that in the
animal as well as the vegetable world
rapid growth means rapid decay? Plant
this live stock business and then give
it time to strike its roots deep down.
and after it IS fairly rooted allow the
top to grow.

Routing Crab Grass with Clover.

Crab grass is like the dog in the
manger, it kills out every other stem
of green grass and then turns brown
itself. 1t makes coarse and ugly
cover in the lawn and the individual
who attempts to eradicate it by dig
ging and cultivation may be entirely
without lawn for two or three years.
If anything can get the best of crab
grass In a fair contest, it is white
clover. In a number of lawns in Wash
,ington and elsewhere white clover has
furnished the means for final vic
tory over crab grass. The white cloy-
er gradually invades the area of crab
grass, replacing the latter with close,
dark green carpet.

Grow Feed on the Firm.

The Massachusetts State crop report
contains an article by Prof. f. S. Cooley
on Some Causes Affecting the Profits
of Dairying." On the subject Of feed
ing dairy cattle the professor urges
that feeds be produced on the farm as
far as possible. Usually the best prac-
tice is to purchase only feeds rich in
protein and raise the coarse folders
on the farm. Cows fed on starvation
rations yield no profit, and those over.
fed with expensive feeds are also kent
at n loss. The point OF highest profit
in feed must be determined by expert
ment and calculation, and varies with
the locality and circumstances Of the
feeder.

Farmers and Poultry Fnnciers.

The farmer has n real grievance
against the poultry fancicr, in that he
has done all Of his crossing and in
breeding Of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming, whether the
hens from which he has been breeding
were producing sixty eggs a year or
200 made no differenre. His whole
aim has been to breed out foul flight
feather or two, or to create better
comb, or eyes Of Il better tint at a
sacrifice of everything else The result
is that when a farmcr goes into the
market to buy thorouglbreds with his
money in his pocket ready and willing
to pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually paws
a premium for something that
has been obtained Mt sacrifice
Of the very qualities which he does
need. There are few men, however.

should have - much care as human
being to insure the best results, and
modern methods certainly tend in that
direction. The chicken coop shown here
is a good example. 1t is simple, etii-
cient and durable. AS shown here 1t is

sheet metal. The top and sides are
bent to shape, with tlanges at the bot
tom which connect with the flooring
At each side are supports which hold
the coop slightly above the ground,
tending to keep the coop moisture

water from entering. At each end are
perforated doors, which are very east
ly held in position. At the bottom of
each door is an extension, through
which passes a rod, the latter extend
ing through the top of the coop and
also into the ground, preventing the
coop from being displaced. In this way
