washed down to the depth the frost

The result following is that the
roots Of the plants seek the cool, moist
earth below if there be in it plenty
Of plant food and the plants support
ed by the roots are the more able to
resist many droughts that may come
in summer.
Where droughts are common it IS
desirable to have plant roots go as
deeply as possible.
Fall-pleWed land will also be found
freer from cutWOrmS and other in
furious insects in the spring. Some
of these insects try to get below the
frost line or at least to a point where
freezing and thawing in the early
spring is not possible The plOWing
of the land turns up these insects, and,
though they may be still covered by
the soil leaves the ground SO loose
about them that they freeze, and in
this way they are killed.
While fall plowing does not entirely
wipe out all the cutworms that may
be in the ground, it will greatly les
sen their number.
This point alone is enough to Justify
the plowing of land in the fall.

How to Keep Sweet Potatoes.

AS soon as frost nips the vines, cut
them off from the hills even If you do
not dig at once, for the dead vines
left on the hills will affect the roots
Dig, if possible, on a bright sunny
day Let the roots lie along the rows
and sun till evening, and do not allow
them to be thrown in heaps and
bruised Haul in baskets or boxes,
and never pile in a wagon body, for
the keeping of the potatoes depends
largely on the way they are handled
in digging and storing.
If YOU have no potato house with
heating apparatus you can store in
banks under a rough shed. Make
thick layer of pine straw and put
about twenty-five bushels in heap
and cover thicl<ly with pine straw.
Make a rough board shelter over the
heaps, but put no earth on them till
tho sweating is over and the weather
is getting cold Then cover with SIX
inches of dry soil. Keeping the heaps

nearly the food value Of the more ma

While the opposite extreme should
be avoided, cutting before the seed
is SO ripe as to scatter, there is much
more nourishment in the matured
stalk, and one farmer who was COM
plimented for bringing his cattle
through the winter on a minimum
amount of grain and yet keeping them
in good flesh, attributes his success
largely to this fact
Haste makes waste when the crop is
hurried to the barn not fully cured.

drying than that almost overripe.

Americas Superior Horses.

America today is producing cross
bred draft horses superior to those
bred in England, France and Scotland
as a direct result of the growing de-
1nand of farmers throughout the great
agricultural sections of the country
for a higher type of utilitarian horses.
The scientific breed of draft horses
has gone forward by leaps and bounds
within the past few years.
Farmers have found out that it was
the highest degree of practical econ
omy to breed their crOSS-bred mares
with the best stations obtainab)e.
In the International Live Stock Ex-
position of 1900, 1901 and 1908 the
first prizes for geldings went to ami
mails from Canada, England and Scot
land.
In 1904 the gelding classes were
about evenly divided between Amer
lea and imported horses
Since that time the American bred
horses have captured the lions share
of the prizes and awards and have
established a clear title to supremacy.
The six-horse draft team shown by
Armour & Co. year ago at the Lon
don exposition aroused the amazement
and admiration of Englishmen, VINO
had no idea that such magnificent
horses were being produced in Amer
lea.
Their amaZement was coupled
somewhat with chagrin when nothing
approaching the team in the way OF
English bred horses was shown
And now even this wonderful team
has had to take second place MOTIFS

Twenty-nine varieties have been on

If grown for seed or pasture pur-

Where a small acreage is desired a

AS much plowing as possible should
be done in the fall. The soil thus
turned up is exposed to the frosts Of
winter and they penetrate it to con-
siderable depth Soils that are covered
with sod are not penetrated more than
half as deep by the frOStS as are those
soils that are recently plowed in the
fall
1t is desirable to loosen the earth
below~th depth to which the plOW
goes. This is especially valuable in
clay soils. When ground is plOwed
well before the coming of frost the soil
will often be frozen to the depth of
twenty inches. This means that every
particle to that depth is moved to a
certain extent. The expansion of the
particles of moisture pushes apart and
breaks up the most retentiVe soils
Clay soil that has been we'll drained
is in this way made more friable to
a great depth, and when spring com es
and the frost goes out of the soil it
will be so loose that air can penetrate
to a great depth and chemical action
