read the OBSERVER for a year without find
ing opportunity to make from at least :926 to

$1,000, $4,000 and $40 900. The OBsxEvER's
news gatherers tell of everv new move thai
they can find, which Is of commercial or In
dustrial interest. If there Is a new house to
be built they tell about it. then the brick
men, the lumber men, hardware men and
others who read the OBSERVER get tho first
chance at the business.
In families where there are children the
OBSERVER contributes TO education. 1t Is the
equivalent of a school In furnishing whole

Orchard Cover Crops.

The tests made at the Experiment
Station during the past five years and
reported, show conclusively that
young. rapidly growing peach trees
are made harder in wood and fruit
buds by the use Of a cover crop that
will, by drying the ground somewhat
In late summer, check the growth of
the trees and cause them to mature
their wood properly before the ad-
vent of freezing weather.
Cover crops that survive the win
ter, rye, for instance, are detrimental
to orchards, as they dry the ground
excessively in spring when the trees
need abundant moisture. Cover crops
that are killed by the early frosts
are better than those that live later,
because, as soon as killed, they stop
drying the soil, catch fall rains, and
check evaporation. For the past
seven years, at the time winter has
set in, the the ground in the Expert
ment Station orchards has been as
moist in the plats that grew frost
killed cover crops as in the plats that
received thorough cultivation
throughout the fall. cover crops
that live until killed by severe freez-
ing weather. oats, for instance,
sometimes keep the ground so dry
| that there is danger Of serious injury
to tender roots should the following
winter be very cold.
Vegetation that stands erect does
not furnish as good direct protection
| against severe freezing of h .ground
as crops that mat down like a litter
mulch. Cornsta1ks, for instance, af-
ford little protection against freez-
ing when there is no snow, While a
cover of oats furnishes considerable
protection under similar conditions.
Cornstalks and other vegetation that
stands fairly. erect hold drifting snow
very we'll, thereby furnishing excel
lent indirect protection.
Millet, canc and corn were the best
of the cover crops tried at the Expert
ment Station. Millet is the best OF
all, except for the fact that, when
sown the latter part of July. 1t some
times ripens seed enough to cause
trouble the following summer. - r.

the liquid will be observed to mount
rapidly through the substance Of the
sugar, until the whole piece is satu-
rated. The ascent Of the water Is
also due to the working OF capillary
force. and water in the soil rises to
surface in the same way. The
following notes are extracted from an
article on this subject, which is one
OF great Importance to the practical
c~ultivator. that lately appeared in the
American Journal Of Agriculture:
Water deep down in the soil is at
tracted and drawn to the surface Of
the soil grains there, the soil particles
above them attract and draw the wat
er to themselves and up till It reaches
the surface. Once at the surface, the
air claims the water and it is taken
away from the soil by evaporation.
Soil particles not only have the
power Of drawing water to them
selves, but of holding it asswell. By
a simple mathematical law, the SMALL
er the particle the greater proper
tional surface 1t has, hence the finer
the particles are, the more water a
given soil is capable Of holding. Also,
the closer together the soil grains are
the more retentive is the soil of mois-
tpre. For this last reason deep plow-
ing tor breaking UP large masses into
nne grains, and heavy packing to
bring these grains into close contact,
are employed in dry farming opera
lions, and may be adopted in any re-
g1on, in dry times, to make deep soil
hold large amounts Of water. !.
The practical application of the
principles of soil capillarity consists
in first loosening the soil to as great
depths as possible for creating large

Lawns For the Farms.

Why should not farm houses be
surrounded by we'll kept lawns? OF
late years farmers are taking more
interest in their home surroundings
than they did a decade or two ago.
Many a farm house nowadays is
adorned by a neatly kept lawn and
the only fault that can be found is
that there are not more attractive
farm homes. It was, until recently,
the practice to have barns for the

tude and climatic conditions. Fruit
trees may be advantageously raised
| on the country lawn, and they will
serve two purposes, as they furnish
both shade and fruit. The lawn
should have a few walks with flower
beds and shrubs to make it more at
tractive. There are many kinds Of
roses and shrubs that can be grown
almost anywhere. During the win
ter months plans may be made for
the laying out of the lawn and for
