run off of the water that subsequent.
ly falls.
The subsurface packing and the for
nation of surface mulch should be
performed each half day. If the soil
is left loose and a large surface ex.
posed to the air for only a few hours,
large quantities of moisture will be
evaporated, pass off into the atmos.
phere and be lost to the crop. Sue
cess often lies in the proper perform.
ance at the right time of these seem
ingly insignificant operations.
Experiments, often repeated, have
proven that the evaporation Of moist
ure from a soil surface is least when
that surface is least exposed to the
air. 1t follows, therefore, that any
Irregularities in the surface increases
the surface exposure, which in turn
increases the evaporation of moisture.
The reason for laying so much stress
upon following the plow Immediately
with the harrow is to prevent the loss
of moisture from the irregular sur.
face. Level culture with a fine even
surface has proven the best method
for conserving moisture and for moist
crops this condition is the most favor
able for root development and expan
sion. There may be conditions of a
peculiar nature where this rule will
not hold good, though it is difficult to
think of such condition.
Level culture should mean not only
a level surface exposure when the
work is completed but it should also
be made to mean the cutting or STIR
ring of slice or layer of the surface
to practically the same depth at all
points. This is usually best accomp-
lished by using long, fat blade
which is run so as to cut an even
depth and at the same time stir the
soil before it falls back in position.
Another means almost as effective Is
the use of a large number of small
shovels. Even small shovels leave
an uncut ridge underneath, and a
slight corrugation on the surface.
Large shovels are extremely harmful
since they leave the surface in great
ridges and portions of the uncut I'M
der-surface exposed to the air.
All seeding and planting should be
done with machine that will deposit
the seed in the moist soil at an even
depth and leave loose surface over
it. The depth at which the seed should
be sown will vary with the size and
viability of the seed quite as It sown
under humid conditions, but in dry
farming the seed must. be deposited
not a certain depth below the surface
of the soil, but a certain depth below
the top of the moist soil. This is an
important point Not infrequently,
deep planting will be required, but
there is little danger in planting deep
under dry farming conditions for the
reason, that the young plants readily
push to the surface through the loose
dry surface. mulch. Should the: seed

STOMACH ON STRIKE.
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
Woman and Have Cured Manv
Hundreds Of Other Cases OF

Common Ailments

Loss Of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and dull, sluggish feeling-these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach is on a strike:
that it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach is
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that OF Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
Il suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part Of three years. I was under the
care of our family physician most of the
time, but did not seem to get better.
II was completely rundown and was
not able to do my work about the house.
My blood was impure and my complex
ion pale. I suffered from flashes of
heat, followed suddenly by chills. I
had awful headaches, which lasted from

was encouraged by this to keep on until
was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark what changed woman 7
am and I owe it all to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
These wonderful pills are useful in q
wide range Of diseases such as an8mia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, 30 cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

very great and constantly increasing

evidently does not consider it a mat

not even deigned to acknowledge the
receipt of the letter. Perhaps their
functions are not preventive Dut
rather along curative lines after the
disease has become seated. We have
suffered more this year than ever be-

burning of rubbish and manure within
the city. There has hardly been

City Board of Health. City Building,

On behalf of myself and thousands

make a most vigorous and strenuous
protest against the burning of rub

best the air in the city is badly vitiated
and hard enough to breathe without
this contiguous nuisance of burning
refuse matter. rubbish and manure,
and filing the buildings and houses
with offensive and noxious fumes and
smoke.
Almost continuously in the rear of

fileed with vicious odors and smoke
from fires of that kind.
This burning of rubbish and ma
nure anywhere within the city is GER
tainly a nuisance and a detriment to
health. and ought to have been stop
ped years ago. and I hope that some
imm ediate and vigorous measures will
be taken at once by the city board OF
health to stop it once and for all.

CAN AFFORD TO BE CHARITABLE
Charles ID. Shukers Writes Like a
Sentimental school Girl

Kansas can afford to be charitable
even to a Spaniard who has had his
foot cut off by railroad train.
This is the synopsis of an opinion
given today by Charles D. Shukers, as
sistant attorney general of Kansas. to
NJ j. Sermon, the county attorney OF
Russell county
Mr. Gernon wrote to the attorney
general asking what the county should
do with a charity case which had been
forced upon it, and also inquiring who
would pay the bill 1t seems that a
Spaniar1 had his foot cut off by the
Union Pacific train t Tulon, Ellis
county He was brought to Russell,
and now. in his helpless condition, is a
charge on the county. Apparently the
county isn't anxious to stand the ex-
pense. The county commissioners had
evidently been kicking about it. and
asking who would pay the Spaniard' S
bills. Mr.. Gernon was unable to an
swer. and wrote to the attorney general
to end out.
F'It might be possible" said Mr..
Shukers in discussing the matter. that
by applying to the United States de-
partnent of state, a claim for the care
Of the SDaniard could be submitted to
she Spanish ambassador, and thence ID
the Spanish government. The Spanish
government would no doubt in course
of time pay the bill. But in the exist
ing case. it seems though Russell
county should care for the man, an !
then. when he is we'll enough to travel
send him where he needs to go''
The following il the letter sent by
the attorney general to the county at
torney of Russell county:
I'm answer to your letter of Septem-
Der "a. 1907. in which you saw that about
a month ago Spaniard who had been

cut off: the train crew brought him to
your place aud the TT'7ion Pacific sur

to know who is responsible for his 9TH

him I have to say:
The war with Spain is over. The

tie. and We have purchased the Philip
pines. The Spaniard. stranger and a
crinnle within our gates, is as much
entitled to the Wholesome charity of

is entitled to proper care during his con-
valescence and YOUR county should nav

REVOLT IN CUBA.
New York Capitalists at Head of

Havana, Sept. 26.-A conspiracy to
start a revolutionary movement in
Cuba has been discovered. Under in
structions issued by Governor Magoon
number of suspicious persons believed
TO be connected with the conspiracy

How the Story Started.
New York, Sept 26.-Cuban con-

Havana. attempted apparently to use
the World TO further the design. An
unsigned cable Of 1872 words was re-
ceived by the newspaper several
hours before the news became public,
stating that a meeting of prominent
merchants of Havana had been held
Monday night and a resolution had
been adopted to inform the World of
the true state of Cuban affairs. The
message then said that there would be
a general uprising today and tomor-
row.
In language of alarm the message
told of a credit impaired. property in
danger and general anarchiStic
purpose of causing an embarrassing
situation at Washington" 1t added:
IF American troops shed Cuban blood

against America will be inevitable"
