THE SEAMAN GUNNER.

Target Records.

Those patriotic Americans who take pride IN

little realize aS a rule the revolution which has
taken place within the last few years among the

The multiplication of mechanical parts and the
abandonment of sails and most Of the features
that had called for the older type of seaman

the fact that an entirely new sort of sa'iorman
was needed to meet the requirements OF the up

DRY FARMING IN
THE HOLY LAND.

THE HOLY LAND.
From Chicago Tribune.
In Syria and Palestine from the
beginning of April until October there
is practically no rain, yet in July the
fields TEEN with a vigorous growth
of watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers,
etc., all f1ourishing without artificial
watering, although at that time no
rain has fallen for many weeks.
In fact the Syrian peasant, from
the moment his seed has been sown,
prays that no rain may fall. During
the period of growth of a crop the
surface of the soil to a depth of six
Or eight inches is perfectly dry n
loose. Below this surface layer will
roots extend and grow vigorously. In
this moist sub-soil plants continue to
grow until late autumn. When the
| crop is removed in the autumn the
rains commence and the land is plow-
ed after each heavy rain as soon as
the soil begins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept in
view in plowing-to furnish a favor
able surface for taking up all the wa
ter and to prevent its upward evapo-
ration from the sub-soil. The great
point is to keep the upper six inches
Of the soil perfectly loose and friable,
so that the moisture from below is
not drawn upward and lost In evapo-
ration, but does not ascend higher
than the compact sub-soil that is not
broken up by the pillow. For this rea-
son the blowing is shallow, averag-
ing from four to six inches deep.
When the time for sowing the seed
arrives the land is plowed to a depth
of about six inches and the seed is
sown from an arrangement attached
to the plow, falls OF the damp sub
soil and is covered by the soil clos:
ing over behind the plowshare. From
this time the upper stratum of loose
soil prevents the escape of moisture
upward beyond the wet sub-soil on
which the seeds rest and int which
their roots after the process of germ
%Iination spread.

assist our city and state government
