He scarcely slept all that night.
The moaning of the wind and the

nerves. He kept fancying that he
heard Marion's voice calling him out

he reasoned with himself, In vain that
he got angry.

CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN.
How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use Of
the Moist SubsoiI.

How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use Of
the Moist SubsoiI.
In Syria and Palestine from the be-
ginning 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 iourishing 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 sur
face of the soil to a depth Of six or
eight inches is perfectly dry and loose.
Below this surface layer will be found
moist soil, in which the roots extend
and grow vigorously. In this moist
subsoil plants continue to grow until
the late autumn. When the crop is
removed in the autumn the rains COM
mence and the land is ploughed after
each heavy rain as soon as the soil be-
gins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept in
view in ploughing-to furnish a IA
vorable surface for taking up all the
water and to prevent it's upward
evaporation from the subsoil. The
great point is to keep the upper six
inches of soil perfectly loose and fri.
able, so that the moisture from below
is not drawn upward and lost in
evaporation, but does not ascend high
er than the compact subsoil hat is
not broken up by the plow. For this
reason the ploughing is shallow, aver
aging from four to six inches in depth.
When the time for sowing the seed
arrives the land is ploughed to a depth
of about six inches, and the seed is
sown from an arrangement attached
to the pillow, falls on the damp subsoil
and is covered by the soil closing over
behind the ploughshare. From this
time the upper stratum Of loose soil
prevents the escape of moisture up
ward beyond the wet subsoil on which
the seeds rest and into which their
roots after the process of termination
spread.

An Unstable LaborIna Class,

The prospector OF the mountains
and the cowboy of the plains are each
a sort of Bedouin, with no permanent
abiding place-here to-day, there to-
morrow-usually with a long story OF
experiences in different places-going
to Alaska and coming back, rushing to
new mining camps, trying new
ranches, but always moving. Indeed,
the laboring class Of the West, as a
whole. is as unstable as water, with
the very microbe Of travel In its,
blood. l talked with a carpenter in
Tacoma. a man of family, too. who had
worked in every important city on the
Pacific coast, and was then planning
to go to Butte City, where he had
heard that wages were specially high.

Without a tax levy to provide funds

SAN JOSE SCALE.
Spraying with Lime-suIphur the Most
Effective Treatment.

Prof l.. R. Taft of Michigan says
that while other remedies have been
used for San Jose scale, nothing has
been found which equals the sulphur
lime mixture in safety, cheapness and
effectiveness, and besides it is worth
all it costs as fungicide.
Although equal parts of lime and
sulphur can be used, it is better to
use 20 to % pounds of lime and Is
pounds of sulphur for 90 gallons.
These should be boiled for 45 minutes,
care being taken to have the water
hot before the lime and sulphur are
added, and to use only stone lime.
The cooking can be done in iron ket-
ties or by means of steam in barrels
or tanks. 1t answers very well if the
lime and sulphur are cooked in 90 to
25 gallons of water and then diluted,
using cold water if more convenient.
Although it is necessary to have the
mixture slightly warm when applied,
it need not be very hot
The best time for making the APP
plication is just before the buds open
in the spring, and little or no harm
will be done by spraying even after
the buds show a pink color In fact
if applied at that time there will be
no occasion for using Bordeaux mix.

PALATARLE FODDER CORN.
Prof Thomas Shaw Urges Proper Care
of This Feed.

me method of handling this product
differs in various localities. The COM
mon method of harvesting puts it into
shocks of moderate size as soon as
cut, and then into stacks when the
weather gets cool. Some growers
adopt the following plan: They bar.

as soon as the weather becomes cool.
he puts the shocks into stacks with a
diameter of about Is feet. In this way
the fodder is well protected from the
weather, 80 that when 1t is fed it is
brighter, sweeter and more nutritious
than if fed from the shocks.
This system has the further advan-
tage in areas with heavy winter
snowfall. 1t gets the corn where 1t is
safe from injury from snow or sleet
before these storms come The objec-
ton may be raised that this means
extra work. 1t does, but 1t means
extra value in the fodder also, and
extra value that will usually far out
weigh the extra labor incurred.
The method of stacking such corn is
greatly influenced by the character of
the climate. Where winter comes
early, the corn cannot in all instances
be put into stacks wider than one
length of sheaves. The tops and butts
are reversed alternately to keep the
long stack level In other instances
where the corn is drier, two lengths OF
sheaves are admissible, overlapping at
the tops, and in yet others wide. OBJ
