Some years ago, says the Bluejacket,
the Yankee schooner Sally Ann, under
command Of Captain Spooner, was
beating up the Connecticut River. MIR.
Colnstock, the mate, was at his station
forward. According to his notion Of
things, the schooner was getting a
.reetle" too near certain mud fats
which lay along the larboard shore; SO
aft he went to the captain, and with
his hat cooked on one side said:
Captain Spooner, you're getting a
leetle too close to them fats. Hadn't
We better go about?
The captain glared at him.
Mr.. Comstock, jest you go for'ard and

Preparation Of New Land for croppln,

Preparation Of New Land for Cropping
In nearly all the newly settled por-
tions Of Colorado, considerable diff
Guilty Is experienced In subduing raw
land. This seems especially true on
sage brush land being brought under
irrigation. The heavier and more conf
pact the lands, the greater is the diff
Guilty experienced. Farmers in such
localities almost unanimously hold to
the opinion that three or more years of
preparation are required before pay
ing crop can he produced. This opin-
ion has arisen through perfectly natural
causes. Farmers on these new lands
have mostly been trying to do too
much with too little horse power. The
land was plowed too shallow, 30 that a
longer time was required to bring the
land into condition. Those farmers
who have plowed deeply and well and
have thoroughly worked the land with
disk and harrow after plowing, have
been rewarded with paying crops the
first crop year.
The heavier types Of raw sage brush
lands are usually compacted to con-
siderable degree. In order to make
such lands Immediately productive,
they must be worked and opened up
deeply in order that the air and the
weather may act upon the soil, assist
Ing the cultivation in ,nellowing 1t.
Such lands should be plowed at least
Ave inches, preferably eight inches
deep. The plowed land should be at
least double disked and narrowed Inn
mcdiately after blowing. Such treat
ment opens up the soil, aerates 1t, and
forms good seed bed with congenial
place for root growth.
The advantage Of deep and thorough
working Of these new and heavier lands
Is strikenly Illustrated in many portions
Of the State. In La Plata county, in
the vicinity Of Ignacio, Tiffany, Kline,
and other points, much new sage brush
land is being brought under irrigation
and cultivation. Where the land has
been plowed shallowly the crops are
uneven. spotted, and generally poor.
Where the land has been deeply plowed
and we'll worked, the crops thrived
abundantly and the yields produced
were many times greater than on the
poorly prepared land. One piece Of

Circulation 100000. Popular in Every
State.
The seventy-fourth year of its exist
ence finds the Toledo Blade more pOpu-
lar than at any period OF its remarkable
career. 1t il now read each week by
more than million people. Its field Is
not circurnscribed by State boundaries,
but involves the length and breadth of
the United States, giving 1t an unques-
tionable right of claiming to be the
greatest national weekly newspaper in
the country.
The Weekly Blade is distinctly
family newspaper. The one object of
its publishers has always been to make
it tit for the American home, for the
tireside, and Of interest to every MEM
her of the family. To fulfill this pur-
pose it is kept clean and wholesome.
The news of the world is handled in q
comprehensive manner, and the various
departments of The Blade are edited
with painstaking care. The House,
hold page is delight to the women
and children; current affairs are treated
editorialIy without prejudice; the serial
stories are selected with the idea of
pleasing the greatest number of fiction
lovers; the question bureau Is scrap
book of information; the Farmstead
columns are conducted with the pur-
pose of giving the patrons q medium
for the exchange Of ideas and infOrma-
ton on farm topics. No department
is neglected, but every feature is taken
care of with the idea Of making The
Blade worth many times the price of

European statistics - 70 the rels-

ouly in recent years that the temper
ance movement has gained popular
hearing In most communities there.
The following oflicial figures compiled
from some Of the larger centers Of
regulation, however. reveal In strfk-
tng manner the evil influence OF alco
hol upop social conditions through
out parts Of the German empire and
elsewhere. where drinking customs
have long prevailed.
In the great Charity hospital OF Ber-
lin, DR.. Siemerling reports from 43.3
to SIS per cent Of alcoholics among
all the patients admitted in two sue
cessive years.
DR.. George Keferste Of Luneburge
cites statistics of 60 years standing
OF the city Of Osnabruck where Sc
Per cent. Of all paupers were de-
clared to owe their condition directly
to drink
He cites also the reports Of the
German labor colonies. showing that
oe 44.53S men admitted In the period
lse2-ls01. no fewer than n per
cent. owed their condition directly
or Indirectly to alcohol; and he quotes
with approval the declaration OF
Orumbrecht 70 member of the Ger.
man pariiamentl. to the effect that
whoever has watched attentively for
. term Of years the work Of applied
charity in . fairly large city cannot
escape the conviction that nine cases
Of pauperism In every ten must as.
Isolate their condition with the use
and abuse Of intoxicants.
An estimate published In q period
icsi devoted to the charities Of Ham
burg ascribes so per cent. Of the pau
perism Of that city Tin the year 1909
to intemperance.
Nor do these estimates. ascribing
from one-third to one-half Of the rec
ognised poverty Of Germany to the
effects OF alcohol, vary greatly from
the estimates made for England by
British Investigators. and the careful
stAtistica complied for America by the
Committee Of Fifty. Such correspond
euces cannot well be accidental. They
give secure warrant for the belief
that at least one.third of all the rec
ognised pauperism in the cost highly

dom results from. bodily and men
tai ineniciency due to alcoholic in
dulgence.
A similar correspondence of testi-
mony shows that the same cause is
responsible for the mental overthrow
Of fully one-fourth Of all the unfor-
tunates- who are sent to asylums for
the insane: for the misfortunes Of two
ffths Of neglected or abandoned chill
