ECONOMY ON THE FARM.

The saving of many small things
will make one large one. The great
rivers are composed Of many small
streams, which have trickled down
the various mountains and valleys
and emptied their contents together
into one great channel, on whose
waters our great ships Of war and
commerce can trade.
It is the accumulation of small
things that counts. The saving Of
small things is only adding strength
to your pocketbook and bank account,
and making you more and more day
by day able to stem the storm Of
life and overcome the many obstacles
thai we have to encounter.
Take notice Of our merchants, for
instance. Their success in business
is due principally to the saving Of
the many small profits. I have
actually seen them save the nails
they draw from the opening of their
goods boxes and throw them into
their nails cases to sell.
Suppose We were to make a careful
investigation Of our farms, and see
how many things we have already
let waste this season, and count its
value. We would be surprised how
it would count up. This is all clear
loss out Of our profits.
It is very true saying, that we
must save our hay while the sun
shines.
The writer had six acres Of corn
this year that failed to make any
thing except small nubbins, which,
with what good corn I will have,
would not run me the coming year.
Instead of letting the corn dry up
on the stalk, I went into the field
and cut it down and shocked it up
green, and it cured as nice as you
ever saw, and the :e,nlt is, l have
plenty of feed for my mules (two)
to last me till the heavy pillow season,
after which my corn will run me
through the rest Of the season.
Many of us have grass patches
that could be moved and stored away
to feed the good old mich COW
through the winter, and save our
money that otherwise would have to
be used to purchase hay at very
high price.
There are varlcus other things
that can be saved proftably. Do
not buy anything from the merchants
that you can grow on the farm. Find
out what you will need and plant a
patch Of each sufficient to supply

with the growing roots and fails to
benefit the crop. Moreover, it was
never anticipated nor even advocated
by the strongest believer in COM
mercial fertilizers that they should
supply the entire needs of the grow
ing crop. It was expected that a
portion of the plant food placed in
the soil by nature would be rendered
available from year to year through
the corroding action of plant roots,
through fermentation resulting from
the free movement Of air through the
SOIL, and by the dissolving action of
the water surrounding the soil parti-
cles.
Land that is only cultivated three
inches deep can not absorb and hold
moisture; neither can the air readily
penetrate it to do it's work in setting
free plant food It is needless to
point out that the roots of plants
can not forage through it In every
direction to drink up the mineral
laden moisture Of the soil and so
build up their tissues with rapidity.
For these reasons the mere applica-
ton of commercial fertilizers with
out proper soil cultivation will never
prove a profitable practice, and ac-
counts for a majority of the failures
to obtain a profitable return from the
use Of fertilizers so frequently men
toned by farmers.
This picture of the situation is not
overdrawn, yet it emphasizes very
clearly how great has been the neg
lect Of putting the soil in a proper
physical condition by deep, thorough
and persistent cultivation, and yet
what determining influence this
matter Of cultivation has on crop
production and on the proper utiliza-
ton of the larger or smaller stores
OF commercial plant food which may
be added to the soil from time to
time. 1t is necessary that we add
nitrogen, phosphates and potash to
the great majority of our soils in
liberal amounts in order to gather
profitable crops therefrom, but it is
folly to depend on fertilizers to do
a work which they simply have no
ability to perform. The farmer must
understand that the direction of his
energy towards putting the land in
proper physical condition is as much
a part of successful crop production
as the mere application of commercial
Plant food.-Andrew M. Soule in Cot
ton Journal.

along the shore of which the advance
TO Nome must be made. At Nome
long rest of several months is un-
avoidabe. When the ice begins to
form in Berlng strait the racers will
be transported by steamer to East

the advance is largely a matter of con-
lecture and must be determined by in
divldual circumstances.
The Europeans who VIII engage in
the enterprise do not look upon the
Alaskan and Siberian portion of the
Journey as the most formidable part
OF the undertaking. They believe that
nothing viii prove to be more difficult
Of accomplishment than the passage

Borghese from Picking to Paris, there

According to Present
Plans, the Start Across
the American Cont
nent Will Be Made
In February.

The mechanical difficulties of crossing
America. climbing the Rocky noun
tains and penetrating the Businesses Of
the treacherous passes in the early
spring are the things to be dreaded,
he declares. This opinion is not shared
by American motorists who feel little
trepidation in undertaking trip
which has been made successfully by
at least eleven different routes since
1903
The Route Chosen.
According to the American coadjutor
OF lie Matin in the enterprise, the
route selected is as follows:
ain the east the Appalachian noun
tains are practically avoided by going
from New York to Albany and then
through the Mohawk and the lake
region to Buffalo. From Buffalo the
chain of great lakes is followed
through Erie Cleveland and then
across Indiana to Chicago. Thus far
the route is practically direct and can
be outlined with great exactness. West
of Chicago there is less necessity for
detailed directions, as the road from
place to place is not confused by a
multiplicity OF crossroads leading in
all directions.
FROM CnlCdEO lns IOdu leHuS TO
Clinton, la, crossing Illinois through
Geneva, Dekalb and Dixon. Crossing
the Mississippi at Clinton. it heads
through Cedar Rapids, Marshalltown.
Ames and Carrol,ton to Omaha and
from omaha leads through Fremont
and Grand Island to Kearney. All this
way the plain is fairly low, and the
roads are apt to be muddy in the
spring and summer, but at the time
the cars reach there they should be
frozen fairly solid and offer fairly
good transit.
"From Kearney to North Platte
hundred mile stretch of very wretched
road has met every traveller, but none
has attempted it in March or Febru-
airy, when these drivers expect to
cross. and 1t is expected that the road
will be frozen hard enough to obviate
some of this difficulty. From North
Platte to Julesburs there are 225 miles
of good road but climbing all tbs
| while TO Cheyenne is a stretch OF SINH
| lar length equally good, though OF
| steadier ascent From Cheyenne
| through to Sherman comes the rock

Getting through the pass, the de-
scent begins to Laramie, and then fol-

Rawlins. Wyo. Through Wyoming to
