Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here's good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for man who needs
vigor and strength for long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive IA
tigue. There is a sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it Is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. 6

VARYING Price of Wool.

Why there should be such a wide
difference in the prices of wool often
puzzles the average sheep grower.
AS much as five or ten cents a pound
is often paid for the wool of one flock
over that of another grown practical
ly on the same range One of the
chief points in the merits of wool is
the fineness and there is a great vari
alton in this characteristic. Coarse
ly-bred sheep may have no more than
5000 wool hairs to the square inch of
skin, while the breeds that have been
bred to produce fine wool, such as the
Marine, may have 10000 or as high as
$4,000 wool hairs to the square inch.
BY examining the shorn skin of a
sheep under microscope the differ
ence in the fineness of the wool can
easily be discerned.

TURN DESERT INTO GARDEN
Dry Farming Movement Proposes to
Do This by the Simple Laws
of Nature.

At the edge of the American desert
the government has built expensive
irrigation plants, but these cannot
reach the interior of the area nor can
they make ready the land without
enormous cost. The dry farming
movement proposes to convert this
desert into a garden by the simple
laws of nature. 1t has demonstrated
that 40 acres, properly cultivated,
will support family of from three to
five. From 35 to SO bushels of &heat
per acre are possible to this dry soil.
The great Russian wheat, durum, from
which macaroni is made, is raised on
soil very similar to our desert soil;
and its importation has transformed a
foreign product into domestic To
day. in this country the total output of
durum wheat is about thirty millions,
ana most of ii is raised on dry lands.
The demand is growing and machinery
for grinding the hard wheat is being
produced. The American desert is fast
losing its reputation for aridity and
becoming a factor In our national
riches.

Conservation of Soil.

Conservation interests the farmer
because it deals with actual conditions
surrounding the preservation of nat
ural resources of the land. Nature
and the farmer must cooperate in or
der to insure permanency of profits
and the continuation of annual in
come. The tiller of the soil cannot
work with profit from his labors
in every field of productivity. Con-
servation of the soil means protection
of the sources of wealth in agriculture.
An abundance of plant food must be
kept in the surface soil to insure good
cash returns from the investment of
time and labor. The plant food can be
retained only through systematic meth
DDS of restoring fertility and conserv-
ing the forces of nature that contrib
ute to the perpetuation of soil wealth.

Demand for Bacon Hogs.

In meeting the demand for bacon
hogs the farmers should select some
one of the breeds which produces q
large percentage of lean meat. When
the pigs are young they should be
allowed to range far and wide, eating
alfalfa and the grasses, skinned milk,
buttermilk, oats and barley Toward
the end of the sixth or seventh month
when they are nearing the time fo'
market they may be fed some corn
BY selling the pigs at this period il
will be found that it costs less to pro
duce 100 pounds of bacon which re
tails at 20 cents pound than 100
pounds of mess pork worth 10 or II
cents a pound.

WHEAT ON DRY FARM
How Scientific Cultivation Is
Rapidly Becoming Recog-
nized in West.
First Methods Were Crude, But Later
Developments Have Rendered II
No More Costly Than other
kinds-Manner Of Oper-
ations.

DRY farming may sound like for
lorn joke to the poor fellows whose
acres of corn are being soaked every
hard, drenching spring rains; but real
dry farming" has grown to be a sub
ject very worthy of attention from
farmers interested in the development
of their profession. 1t is important
enough to have called forth gov
eminent pamphlet and to have estab'
lished societies through the west for
Its economic application.
The farmer so years ago hooted at
the cultivation of those arid acres in
the west known as the American Des-
ert-for what was to be done with a
dry, unirrigated alkali-covered waste?
Easter farmers were incredulous, but
westerners were eager, for it was
their neighborhood; and so it fell to
the lot of Prof. II. w. Campbell to
investigate and illustrate the princi
pies of dry farming, or the rendering
| fertile of arid lands without irrigation.
His theory maintained that by cult.
waiting the top and subsoil of the al
kali deserts, every particle of mois.
ture falling on the land could be held
in the soil, and surface cultivation the
year round would tend to produce a
profusion of flowers and grain.
The first methods were crude and
expensive, but later developments
have rendered dry farming no more
costly than other kinds. The land is
plowed year before any crops are
planted. Disk subsoil plows break the
soil and pack 1t into a firm bed, leav
ing sort of hard pan through which
the water cannot slip. This well
packed subsoil also prevents the pow
erful, blighting salts rising by evap

FLOWING FOR FALL GRAIN
Should BE Done Immediately After
Harvest and Cultivated to
Conserve Moisture.

When wheat follows wheat or some
other grain crop suitable seed bed.
may be prepared by early blowing.
In country the blowing should
be done as soon after harvest as pos
sible and the fields should be cult
waited with a harrow or disk at inter
walls until seeding time in order to
firm the soil, conserve the moisture
and destroy the weeds. When the
blowing is done just previous to SOW
ing it Is well to follow the pillow with
the sub-surface packer and harrow in
order to pulverize and pack the soil
at the bottom of the furrow and leave
mellow, even surface.
This packing and pulverizing Of
the furrow slice is especially neces-
sary when the soil is plowed dry Or
when stubble, trash or manure is
plowed under, because If the furrow
slice is left loose and unpulverized,
the capillary connection of the soil
with the subsoil is largely broken
off and the soil water will not rise
into the surface soil to supply the
terminating seed and feed the roots
of the young plants, hence the seed
fails to terminate well or the plant
is often stunted in growth, and in
such a seed bed the crop is likely to
freeze out or burn out Because of
these results it is not safe to pillow
under coarse manure or heavy
! growth of weeds or stubble in pre-.
pairing seed bed for wheat or other
small grains or grasses.
II the soil is in good physical con-
! dition, not too dry or too wet, an
ideal seed bed can be prepared by
blowing Immediately before seeding
provided the soil is repacked and
well pulverized but this is often q
more expensive method than the
disking or early blowing method. II
is also often good plan to disk the
ground previous to blowing. If plowe6
at once the loose surface is In
better condition to more readily
connect and reunite with the sub
soil when the furrow slice is in
verted.
If the blowing is delayed the
ground will remain in good condi
ton for blowing for much Longer
period during dry weather than lant
which has received no cultivation
1t is often possible when the land ha
become too dry to pillow, by establish
ing soil mulch with the disk harrow
and retaining the water in the soil
to so improve the moisture condition
of the surface as to bring it again int
good blowing condition and it ma
even be advisable to practice earl
disking rather than early plowin
where both cannot be accomplished
The surface mulch of soil produce
by disking not only retains the waite
in the soil but offers a favorable sui
face to absorb the rains.
