are carried slightly longer than the

more single lambs produced by young
ewes than by older ones.

CONSERVATION AND DEVELOP
MENT OF NATURAL RE
SOURCES,

Public thought has been awakened
during the last year as never before
To the scope and Importance of this
subject. There is no need of enlarg-
Ing upon II here. II has many phases.
Hawaii Is scant In mineral resources
and inland waterways. Her resour-
ces are mainly of the soil and the
forest, the latter chiefly for the con-
seryation of water for irrigation,
power and domestic use. Transports
ton facilities with other lands and
harbor facilities naturally fall more
peculiarly within the sphere of the
Federal Government, There Is with
ii the Territory lack of railroad fact
lilies, but perhaps the people are not
prepared to encourage railroad build
Ing by subsidies or guaranty of in
terest on bonds. The construction of
needed roads will be considered I'M
der the head of public lands. The
principal remaining work in the con-
seryation, development and better
utilization Of the natural resources
within the available means would
naturally in large measure take the
following forms, to which portions
OF the fund above mentioned might
be devoted

WHY A MANURE SPREADER PAYS

TO the Editor: The farmers in this
section have not yet begun to use ma
nure spreaders to any extent and L
would like for you to tell my why they
are any better than the old ia shioned
way of hauling out manure in the
wagon. There are two or three spread
ers in our neighborhood, but I have
never yet happened to see one at work.
The men who own these spreaders say
it requires three horses to draw the ma
chine rapidly enough to do the work
right. Are there any tWo-horse spread
ers manufactured? w. r. Taylor,
SedgWick county, Kansas.
We have never yet heard of q farm
er who used a manure spreader who
went back to the old fashioned way of
pitching the manure out of a wagon
with a fork The advantages of the
spreader over the old way of using a
fork are so numerous and so plain that
no argument can overcome them. In
the first place, spreading manure from
q wagon with fork is dirty and dis
agreeable job. In the next place it is
! utterly impossible to distribute the
manure evenly by this method.

BROADCAST OR DRILLING !?
In the Raising of Up to Date
Crops Modern Methods
Are Essential.
BY F. B. MOORE.

Following the selecting of suitable
seed, the proper placing it into the
ground is the next important step. In
this connection, in the seeding of all
small grain, the superiority of drilling
seed over the oldfashioned method Of
sowing broadcast is not as generally
appreciated as it should be.
To have a proper understanding of
the benefit of the drill it is necessary
to know just what it does and how.
In the first place a drill saves seed, a
bushel of grain drilled in producing as
good a stand as bushel and peck
sown broadcast.
A large amount of broadcast seed
never comes up, even if covered in the
best possible manner with a disk or
harrow.
Some of it will not be covered at all
while some will be down too deep In
the soil and an uneven stand will be
produced.
Sown with drill the grain is evenly

STARVED EWES, NO TWINS
Experiments Show That Poor
Feeding Always Means Slow
Growth OF the Flock.
BY RICHARD HARDING. IOWA.

Ordinary or less than ordinary grass
land is often more probably stocked
with mixed animals. A sheep bites the
sweet young grass SO close that no
other animal can get any, but the
sheep leaves the long, coarse grass OF
other parts for the healthy and hungry
COW, whose complicated digestive APP
paratus can deal with any coarse
foods, hence the most parsimonious
stock dealer has some difficulty to
starve cow or to damage her by
scarcity of food or meagerness of diet.
Perhaps sheep suffers most, the
fattening flock going back rapidly In
time of drought or any other insult
able weather, and the breeding fiocks
suffering from abortion and other Ills
when hardship or scarcity of food is
their unhappy portion.
During a month Of bad time the
wool grows weak and the buyer gives
less for the fleeces because the weak

distributed, has an equal covering,
terminates and comes up at the same
time and has an equal chance of de-
yelopment.
In sowing wheat the value of the drill
is so we'll understood that it is very
generally used, but, strange to say,
many farmers continue to SOW their
oats broadcast.
This more than anything else has
caused oats to be WrOngfully con-
sidered an Improbable though a neces-
sary crop, for conclusive statistics from
the experiment stations show that oats
when properly planted will return Il
highly profitable yield.
Oats respond marvelously to correct
planting, showing in some instances the
difference of nine bushels per acre over
the broadcast sowing.
For long time farmers in the corn
belt thought it was impossible 10 get
drill that would work in heavy corn
| stalks and put wheat or other seed in
the ground evenly, but manufacturers
have overcome this difficulty and it is
now possible to get seeders that really
perform remarkable work on rough
| ground.
Farmers no longer care to experiment
with any kind of machine that comes
along and manufacturers have come tc
understand that they must fully meet
the requirements of farmers in order tt
sell their machines. When they do this
farmers are always ready to adogt
them.
This surplus yield, which may NEAR
the raising of oats at a profit instead
of loss, is a powerful argument in favo!
of drill planting and we Recommend tina
every farmer who is engaged in grow
ing grain secure a drill before planting
time.
1t is almost impossible to SOW gras:
seed broadcast and get an even stand
And, as grass seed is very expensive
the saving in seed alone is an impoSt
ant item to say nothing of the uni
formity of growth

~. -

BY the use of spreader a man can
get over a great deal more ground and
the manure will go very much further
because it is evenly distributed
If you will observe the meadows
Were you have distributed manure by
the forkful you will see that the field
presents a spotted appearance, the
grass being rank in those places where
the manure struck the ground but
scanty and sparse where no manure
reached it.
BY the use OF a wagon a man must
stand on the manure while distribut-
ing it, and the starting and stopping
of the team take time, and altogether
the job is unsatisfactory.
With a manure spreader all that is
necessary is to back the machine uu
under the stable window and empty
the manure into it daily, and then when
the box is full mount the wagon, drive
out into the field and without touchins
the manure with fork it is quickly
and easily distributed.
Spreaders are SO arranged that by q
| little pressure on lever the amount
of manure can be increased on the bare
! spots and shut off where not so much is
! needed.

DIDN'T WORK ON THIS COLT

Some smart horse wrangler at the
store one night said it was easy to
start a balky horse by picking up one
of his forefeet and striking it sharply
with stone. 1t seemed an easy cure,
and few days later a farmer named
Hemenway tried it on balky Agar
old. The colt had been pretty well
larruped and was hot and angry when
Hemenway thought of the stone cure.
He picked up stone, and then, pick
ing up the colts foot, began to pound
it. The colt looked around in a sur
prised sort of way and the next thing
Hemenway knew he was crawling out
of the hedge with a bad cut on his
head and scratched and shaken UP all
over The colt had reared up and in
coming down mixed up with Hemen-
way to the latter's disadvantage. And
then that colt stood there for one NOR
tai hour as though he was nailed fast,
and finally had to be unhitched and
sent home.
