Dry farming is that type of soil cul-
tivation which is carried on in sections
where the annual rainfall is fifteen
inches or less and where the moisture
necessary for the maturing-of a crop
is conserved and stored by deep plow-
ing and frequent civilizations, which
keep the surface soil mellow, enabling
it to retain a maximum amount of that
moisture which falls as rain and tend
inc to increase the amount of moisture
which rises from the subsoil to the
cultivated zone.

There is no time when the work Of
giving the young orchard trees low
heads and sturdy branching limbs can
be done so easily as at the time when
they are first set out. If the young
trees as they come from the nursery
are tall and spindly they should be
cut back so as to leave a trunk of the
desired height. While this may seem
harsh treatment, the result will be that
sturdy lateral branches will be set out
and a good ''head' started when moth
ing of the kind would be possible were
the tree allowed to continue its vertical
growth uninterrupted. The finishing
of the job may have to be carried
through several seasons, and the
amount that will need to be done from
time to time will be indicated some
what by the habit of growth of the
tree and the definite ideal or type of
tree which the orchardist may have in
mind.

1t is a pretty sure proposition that
chemically bad roads anywhere keep
land values below what they would
otherwise be. Such condition Is in
part due to the handicap which own
ers are confronted with in hauling
their produce to market, while there
is little question that the mere ap-

A good many farmers have adopted
the plan of sowing some clover seed
with all small grain, and the idea is an
excellent one. The practice is worth
while even If the clover is plowed I'M

should be allowed to grow the second
season, crop being taken off in June
and the second growth plowed under
in the fall, when the well developed

pertinent suggestion that to avoid the

their exceptional appearance and quail

apples. The point is well taken and

An odd feature in the practice of

their leases entitle them to carry off

in the fact that, since he has been to
considerable pains and expense to en-
rich the soil, he is entitled to certain

A number of tests which have been

whole, very favorable, the machines
being economical In operation with fif- |
teen cows or more, while the milk is |
freer from germs than when secured |

been found that the cows shrink but |
little in milk flow when transferred |

the cows were hand stripped after the

talking and studying and results in
greater effort. The man who breeds,
feeds, milks and brings to the greatest
perfection the best dairy COW in the
state has earned more than the $1,000
offered. The others who tried have
learned more than $4,000 worth if they
live to earn it.

much where a state completes. Such
contests are not to be compared to the

WHERE TARIFF STRIKES.
Twelve Glasses Of Articles Pay Three
Eourths Of the Duties.


Washington, April -fourths
of the tariff duties collected by the
United States government annually are
paid by twelve articles or classes Of
articles.
These are sugar, which in 1907 paid
s60,000,000 duty; cotton manufactures,
which paid s39,0O0,000; leaf tobacco,
100000 900; manufactures of fibers,
s22,000,000; manufactures of silk, $780,

100000; raw wool, s16,5O0OOO; spirits,
wines and malt liquors, $4,000, oO0
manufactures of iron and steel, $12,-
100000; earthen and chinaware, sS,-
100000: chemicals and drugs, $780,
600, and fruits and nuts S7,000,000.
The total amount paid by these
twelve classes of articles in 1907 was
$3.50, 900, 900, three-fourths of the $685.
100000 of tariff duties collected in hat
year
Further figures prepared by the bu-
reau of statistics show that the share
which customs duties have borne in
producing the revenues of the country
have varied with conditions, principal
ly depending on changes from time to
time in internal revenue laws.
1T must not be supposed, however"
said the report. that because a dozen
articles or groups of articles pay three
fourths of tariff duties collected that
the making of tariff and the deter
mination of rates of duty and the
amount of revenue likely to result
therefrom is by any means simple
matter Rates of duties levied are not
applied merely to groups of articles as
a whole, but apply at different rates
and in different terms to various grades
and qualities of articles forming each
group, and in many cases to the var
ious grades of material bearing a
single name"

stand by the president" cries Uncle
George to the Iowa delegation in con-
gress. He is trying to get some kind
of tariff bill enacted to help him.
Iowa was for him as candidate,
backed him with her votes. For heav-
ems sake don t desert him. Don't re-
volt. Don't risk. Swallow whatever
Payne and Aldrich and Joe Cannon
may concoct and look pleasant. Be
regular Don't hurt the party. Sus-
tain the organization. And SO on
thru column or more.
II is not certain that the president
wants the Payne-Aldrich connection. 1t
is certain it does not measure up to
his idea Of what the bill should be,
judging it by what he has said ,about
revision and reduction 1t is said that
he approves the bill as Aldrich has
patched it. But he has not said so.
He hardly could say so without stulti-
flying himself. To assume that he does
approve of it is to say that he didn't
know what he was talking about when
he planned a tariff with its difference
in cost standard. Until he speaks for
himself and says the Aldrich creation
is all right, we shall assume that he
thinks it isn't all right.
Taking the president at his word, as
Stunning that he knew what he was
talking about, that he really meant a
tariff standardized to the difference in
cost of production, assuming that he
meant it to be primarily a revenue
producer, then Senator Cummins and
the others who are acting with him are
standing by and with the president,
and it is Payne and Aldrich and Hale
and Uncle George and Cannon and all
the rest of that gang who are butting
against him.
But whether the president is for or
against the Aldrich-Payne rates, the
duty of the Iowa delegation is clear as
sunlight. Iowa was for Taft, it is true.
but it was for him because he was for
revision that would reduce That is the
main thing; what the Germans call the
hauptsache. If it be true that the pres
ident has gone back it only increases
the necessity of the Iowa delegation
going forward. Their duty is to the
cause, to their constituents first, to the
