CONSERVING WATER IN SOIL
One Great Source Of Loss is by EVap-
oration--Land Should BE cultl-
waited at Right Time.

The great thing during seasons of
scant or average rainfall is the con-
servation of the water after it has
been stored in the soil The one
great source of loss is evaporation.
Few have any conception of how
much water may be lost in this way.
The amount. of course, will vary with
the situation, exposure, temperature,
etc. 1t is not known what the exact
loss from soils would be, but it is be-
lieved that so long as the soil is bare
and looks moist ON the surface, evap-
oration is robbing it of It's moisture.
but as soon as the soil looks dry or
is hidden by a crop, the rate of evap-
oration falls off very rapidly.
These latter conditions are best
brought about by cultivating and seed.
ing as soon as the land is dry enough.
If there are two plots of soil side by
side, and one is cultivated and the
other is not, the evaporation from the
cultivated one is much greater for
a day or so than from the other,
but this evaporation takes place chief
ly from the loosened portion, and
hence in a very short time, provided
no rain falls, this layer becomes dry
and acts as a blanket to protect the
soil below, diminishing the evapora-
ton.
Hence, it is a matter of vital i'm
portance that the soil should be culti-
waited at the earliest possible moment.
A delay of one week in this operation
after the soil is fit will rob it of from
one to two inches of water, an amount
sufficient to tide the crop over
drought. Deep cultivation is not ad.
visable, for all of the loosened layer
dries out in dry weather, and since
the deep blanket is little. if any. more
effective than the thinner one, the
extra loss from the thicker blanket
is not atoned for by greater saving
of water in the lower layers, and is a
net loss to the plant.
With cereals the conservation of
moisture by cultivation may be con-
tinued till the grain is nicely up. If n
rain has come, packing down the soil
and destroying the loose blanket, and
thus setting up rapid evaporation
again, it is good practice to run over
the crop with light harrow and re-
store the blanket. The saving in mois-
ture will more than atone for any in
Jury the harrow may do the young
plants. With hoed crops, theoretical
ly they should be cultivated after ev-
cry heavy rain.
In humid sections, where the rain
fall is usually sufficient to saturate
the soil, after harvest conservation of
moisture is not essential, but in semi
arid regions the tillage right after
harvest is essential for the purpose
of conserving moisture.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Burr clover has many advantages
as winter cover crop.
A great many people are finding it
mighty good idea to keep their land
busy.
With every little extra work, one
may grow two crops in the garden
every year. Try it.
When you are ahead of your work
1t isn't such hard matter to keen
there; then there is time for other
things.
1t has been recommended that the
traffic in horned toads be stopped, the
reason being their usefulness in de-
stroying insects.
Improved seed is essential for great
er crop results, but preparation of the
soil and cultivation of it is the basis
of all agricultural progress.
Hay which contains as much as pos
sible of the qualities of fresh grass
is ideal hay. The curing determines
this, and much attention should be
paid to it.
The chief functions of humus in the
soil are to increase the water-holding
capacity, improve the physical condi.
ton of soils and form store house
for plant food

CORN ON DRY FARM
Campbell Scientific Methods
Prove Successful in West
ern Country.
Fields Side by Side with Those Titled
by Old Methods Show Its Value
Hard Work and intelligence
Are Necessary.

The Campbell dry farming methods
cess in the semi-arid sections of the
west. Applied to wheat, they have
proved for years that they were cor.
rect in principle, but farmers were
slow to apply them to corn.
There is nearly always more than
sufficient rainfall in some parts, but
the great problem has been to keep
1t in the soil until the crops are made
The Campbell method is designed to
do this, and the results that have fol.
lowed its application were made evi
dent to a traveller who drove through
this section this week.
Many times there were fields side
by side with like soil, as favorably
situated as to drainage, and without
any difference so far as the opportun-
ity for good yield was concerned,
which differed so much and presented
such a contrast that one could not
fail to see at glance the different
class of farming which had been done
by the two types of farmers. While
not the rule, there was too much bad
farming. All of those observed as an
illustration of all.
One farmer had scratched over" his
farm, using disc when plow was
needed and had listed his corn into
last years weedy, sun-baked, crusted
and moisture-sapped field. The weeds
had soon gained the ascendency, and
the corn having no reserve moisture,
being surrounded by weeds, was
dwindling and badly scorched.
Immediately adjacent and except for
barbed wire fence would have been
part of this field, was another where
the dry farming method had been
used. II was evident that the most

PEANUT CROP ALWAYS SURE
Coarse Sandy Soil Most Conducive to
Its Observation-Disclosures Only in
Warm Climates.

The peanut is food found in stores
and peanut shops in most parts of the
civilized world Many of the clerks
and shop men, who handle peanuts
every day, know very little of how
they are grown.
The peanut thoroughly natures only
in warm climates, where the growing
season lasts from eight to ten months
in the year.
The class of soil most conducive to
their growth is a coarse sandy loan.
The selection of the seed is much
the same as that of other vegetables;
to reap the best harvest, the choicest
seed must be planted.
The ground is to be laid off in shal.
low burrows about two feet apart. Into
these burrows, the peanuts after hav-
ing been broken so as to have one
nut only in piece of she'll are
dropped from Is inches to two feet
apart. When the ground has all
been planted it is leveled smoothly
again; covering the seed with from
two to four inches of soil.
After about two weeks, from the
time OF planting, two little leaves.

lucern leaf, appear above the ground

will have developed into many small
branches which spread out on the
ground for foot or more in all d.
rections. From these branches small
tender shoots grow down into the
ground On the end of these shoots
grow the peanuts; not on the main
roots, as might be supposed.
The peanut needs but very little cul-
tivation. 1t will mature with less wa
ter than almost any other vegetable.
All one has to do is to keep the
weeds from among the vines, and kin
all rats and gophers that appear on
the land
Harvesting is perhaps the most la
borious part about the raising of pea-
nuts. The vines must be pulled up
by hand. If the ground is in proper
condition, most of the peanuts win
hang to the vine, when pulled up.
The nuts are then picked from the
vines and laid in the sun. When thor
oughly dry, they are sacked and sent

careful thought had been given to the
question of how to secure the very
best results. Not only thought, but
judicious and careful work had been
done. This corn was of the best, of
good color, sturdy, stout and with
large ears which gave promise of a
bountiful crop. The soil looked rich
and productive. There were no weeds,
but there was good dust mulch, and
1t was plainly evident on the face of
everything about the farm why one
failed and the other succeeded.

CHAPTER xvl.-continued.

At last 1t came. A stealthy step,
subdued rustic of skirts, a whispered
word of caution. and we were aware
that some one had entered the din
ing room and stood so near the shell
tering portiere that 1t moved slightly.
We could hear low voice command
some one to go to the foot of the stairs
and listen for movements above. Then
silence again, and whisper from
Mary Anne that everything was quiet.
A faint light appeared through the
opening of the portiere, and, parting it
still further, we saw two figures: One
q man, on his knees at the door of the
safe, while the other, woman, held
the lantern. Her back was toward
us, but we knew only one person with
that wealth of golden hair, slim. grace
full figure, and those dazzling white
shoulders enhanced by the low-cut
black gown. Elizabeth's fingers closed
tightly on my arm, and l knew she,
too, had recognized Lady Edith Camp
bell.
The man bungled at the lock, and
she spoke sharply to him, her voice
hard and stinging, He muttered
something. but she did not answer,
for the door of the safe swung open,
disclosing the box she had placed
there in its wrappings of soft white
paper. Eagerly she bent to get it,
but as she took it in her hands
whistle blew shrilly, hasty steps ap-
preached and the room suddenly
seemed full of people and lights.
The man sprang to his feet with an
oath, but his arms were seized by

He came nearer and held out his
hand authoritatlvely.

said.

But We could bear no more, and
with one accord pushed aside the cur

The hall door slammed with somt

steps crossing the veranda. Then
simultaneously and without restraint
we began to cry, while Mary Anne
in the kitchen sobbed heavily.
