IN DRY SEASONS.
Thorough Cultivation VIII Hold Mois
ture in Soil and Keep Crops
Growing.

When rainfall is short in the spring
more careful cultivation is necessary
in order that hoed crops may grow
steadily without a setback. Cultiva.
ton retains moisture and the harrow
or shallow cultivator should be kept
going constantly. Don't work wet soil,
but after light shower. stir the
ground as quickly as possible to pre-
vent the moisture getting away. This
dust mulch is a great benefactor tc
the farmer in dry districts. BY usins
1t carefully, enough moisture is re-
tanned in the practically rainless dis
tricts of Colorado to grow good crops
The secret of the Campbell system Of
soil culture. explains Farm and Home
Is to retain what moisture is received
by the soil and allow very little to es-
cape by evaporation. This is entirely
possible and the great results attend
Ing this work are sufficient proof Of its
success.

There is no better material 10 use

ranging for the filtration 81 the water
i are represented in the ground Dlal-
As shown, the filters are constructed
on the bottom Of the cistern after the
concrete bottom and sides have been
I completed. The filter consists Of two
walls made from good quality Of
/ hard-burned porous brick carefully

I mortar no more than quarter OF an
inch thick. and taking pains not to get
/ cement on either exposed face Of the
brick so as to clog the pores through

mortar could be used in laying the
brick, but the solvent action Of the
soft water would in time carry the lime
away and weaken the walls OF the
filter.
The space between the two bricl
walls, which should not be less thar
is inches in the clear. should be filled
with fairly fine clean sand. The filtel
should extend from the bottom to tbs
top of the cistern, and the overflow
from the cistern should be below tbs

FARM POINTS

Many methods Of cleanliness cost
only little thought.
Don't let the fence rows grow up in
weeds. Clean fence rows show the
possessor TO be interested in his bust
ness.
Save ali the hay and grain in the
fence corners or around the trees
Easier to get it now than next winter
when YOU will be wanting it.
Where hay crop is light, there is
stiu time to put in some catch crop
which will afford forage or late fall
pasture. as fodder corn. rape. oats, etc.
Hen manure and wood ashes should
never be mixed, except just before
being applied to the soil, as the wood
ashes set free the AMMONIA in the ma
nure and it is lost. Coal ashes can be
safely mixed with hen manure and
help to retain the valuable fertilizins
ingredients.

for the reason that the greater sur
face exposed by killing aids eyapora

which l have taken from a recent bull
letin from the Maryland experiment
station, is shown typical potato vine.
Suppose that the soil about this vine
is hilled. The result is that the pota-
toes and roots are nearer to the sur
face than if the land is level on three
sides. l think that the point wish to
make is so clear that further discus
sion is unnecessary.
l must admit, however, that killing
the potato field with a shovel pillow the
last time through may have some ad-
vantages, particularly during a wet
season-the surface potatoes are bet
ter covered, perhaps, and the soil viii
dry out quicker. Concerning the for
mer advantage I think that the farmer
should endeavor to select the potato
that grows down and thus avoid sHr
burns.

Singapore by the route round the
Cape of Good Hope. a distance of H.

Decided to Deport Chinese in Spite Of
Court Order

Charles Mehan, head of the Chinese bu-
reau at San Francisco has received a tele-
gram from Frank p. Sargent, commission
er of immigration, asking for his version of
the trouble over the deportation of Lee
Wah and wife and Chin Yoke, three Chi
nese who were sent away on the Coptic on
Wednesday last despite an order of the
United States district court.
Fifteen minutes before the sailing time
of the Coptic Judge Dehaven OF the United

the Chinese be held here until their case
could be appealed. Notice of this order
was telephoned to the passenger agent of
the Pacific Mail. who agreed to hold the
Chinese. He telephoned to Mehan about
the matter and Mehan, 1t Is said, in the
face of the court order, insisted that they
be deported.
The Chinese consul at San Francisco
and the Pacific Mail people have telegraph
ed to Secretary Metcalf asking that the
three Chinese be landed at Honolulu and
returned to San Francisco by the next
boat.
