yoked together. broke the sod
and put in the crop of wheat.
The rains came, the water fell on
the loose, sandy soil, sank into
the ground and ran off just as
fast as it fell. AS a result. when
the long, hot days of the sunny
summer arrived, the blades of
wheat dried and died.
Other farmers had similar eX-
perienceS. After several years
they decided to leave the country
and wrote back home" for funds
with which to do so.
Campbell had been foreman in
a machine shop in Vermont, and
he had no one to whom he could
appeal for assistance. He was
desperate, and was preparing to
leave the country, going nowhere
in particular-juSt to get out of
that country.
But he walked out to take one
look at his burned fields. and he
noticed small punches of good
wheat. His curiosity was arous-
ed. He examined carefully and
found that these lunches were
growing in the tracks of his old
mule.
What did it," he asked him
self.
But he didn't leave the farm.
For days, however. he asked
himself the question what did
t." and finally the answer came
to him.
1T was the packing Of the
earth by the weightof the mule.
NATURE = SECRET Is HIS.
The next year when Campbell
Sowed his wheat, he rolled it
with a homemade roller for days
and days. His neighbors laugh
ed at him.
When the wheat sprouted ey-
cry kernel came up, and so did
that planted by his neighbors,
who again laughed at the fool
Vermont machinist who thinks
he knows how to farm.
Then came the long. hot sum
mer days, and the wheat in the
fields dried up and |
burned with the heat.
But Campbell'S didn't. His |
fields were green. and in the /

Tracks and Evolved Dry System A
Lame Mule Gives the Idea.

twenty-five years ago. during
the dark days of the west,
when every crop failed and thous-
andS of settlers were going back
east, a discouraged farmer in
South Dakota. looking over his
ruined field for the last time be
fore treking back to Vermont,
noticed that in the tracks made
by his old lame mule, where the
soil was packed by the weight
of the animal, the wheat had
grown strong and tall.
As a result of this observation,
South Dakota is just now har.
vesting one of the largest wheat
crops of any state in the union,

is owner Of five big wheat farms,
aggregating 5000 acres. which
produce an average OF sixty
bushels to the acre. He is known
as the Bonanza Farmer of the
West. And all because a lame
mule tramped across his wheat
field one day.
The good stalks of the grain
growing in the mule tracks, and
surrounded by puny stalks. set
Campbell to thinking, From it
he evolved a new system of farm
ing. His neighborS laughed at
him and remained poor, while
Campbell grew rich,
When he wanted new tools with
which to farm according TO his
new ideas, the farm implement
manufacturers hooted his theor.
les. Campbell thereupon made
his own tools and today these
are being manufactured in Rus

cities in this country.
He wanted to tell the western
farmer what he had discovered.
So he turned editor and has had
the satisfaction Of seeing his ar
ticles reproduced in a dozen diff
ferent languages. One of these,

FEEDS HIS DOG !,
ELECTRIC JOLTS

COLFAX, April 29.-By method
all his own, Hugh Kelly, a bright
young high school lad here. has
trained his dog in a way to circum-
vent the efforts of the dog poison
er. Many dogs have been poisoned
here lately, and this boy has train
ed his dog not to pick up stray bits
of meat and other delicacies, and
to take no food except that given
him by his master.
To accomplish this bit Of meat
is connected to a small electric
generator that the boy carries.
When the meat is thrown on the
ground and the dog touches IT, he
is given slight electric shock.
With true canine wisdom he has
quickly learned to let all stray NOR
sells of food alone and take his
meals only in the regular manner.

LADY DOCTOR IS
RATHER VEXED

DR.. Isabel Karney, osteopath doc
tor, is not exactly elated over be-
ing fined $25 yesterday for failing
to report a case of scarlet fever.
She claims that she was not to
blame for the omission and makes
the following statement to other
osteopath practitioners who have
contagious diseases in charge:
do not depend upon the mail or
telephone, but go in person and re-
port it. If the health Office is
closed get an officer to open up, SO
you can report your case. 1t will
save you $25 and costs"
DR.. Karney appears to have an
idea that nobody but osteopaths
are liable to punishment for failure
TO report contagious cases.
