DEEPENING THE SOIL.
1t improves Its Chemical and Physical
Character.


1t is actually claimed by some that
1t is debatable question as to wheth-
er deep plowing or shallow plowing is
best. The question has but one side
under scientific methods of farming
deep plowing is best at all times, and
under all conditions, with but very.
very few exceptions.
1t is probably not best. to plow very
deep on some new lands and on land
where shallow blowing has been prac-
1ced for years, But the plow should
be made to go deeper each time the
soil is turned On thin land deep
plowing will turn up poor soil. If too
much poor soil is brought to the sur
lace at one time many young crops
VIII not thrive in 1t. The richest soil
should be at the surface, or near the
surface, where the shallow roots of
young plants can extract nourishment
from it. The early, vigorous growth
of young plants is very essential for
large crop yields.
Deep plowing deepens the soil and
improves its chemical and physical ma
ture. This is brought about in two
ways, by bringing up poor soil from
below to the ameliorating effects of the
atmosphere and frosts, and covering
refuse plant substances deep down to
decay for humus In light, sandy or
gravely soils the bringing up of deep
soil to the surface is of less value than
the lowering of the humus. Heavy
soils where much humus, forming mat
ter can annually be turned under are
more benefited than light soils by deep
plowing. Deep plowing in the fall and
winter, leaving the burrows loose and
open, allows the frosts to pentrate
deeply and loosen up the subsoil, i'm
proving it's physical nature and lib
Grating plant foods.
The deepening of the surface soil by
deep plowing and the lowering of the
humus stratum not only increases the
root feeding area of the plants, says
the Journal of Agriculture, but makes
the soil more retentive of mois,.
ture and of more even temperature. In
the semi-arid west where dry farm
ing" is practiced very deep plowing
is essential for catching and holding
sufficient water for maturing crops.
The same principle holds for humid
regions in dry weather, and no harm
results in wet weather

GROWING CORN.
How to Handle Different Kinds Of
SOIL

1t is best to break the ground for
corn in the fall on black land, but not
on clay, for clay soil runs together -
forms crust and gets hard. l have
both kinds. l like to break prairie land
in the fall, clay or timber land in the
spring and never break them when
they are wet or they will bake after
they are broken.
If weeds have started, pulverize
with a pulverizer which has knives to
cut and move the dirt and board to
level it. Harrow with the harrow
teeth set slanting to finish the job for
the planter.
On new land plant corn 81 feet
apart with stocks not closer than ten
inches in the row. Do your best cul-
tivation the first time with small
shoveled cultivator. Continue cultivat-
ton through the growing season, and
use the surface cultivator for the last
cultivation
l prefer to check my corn, writes j.
r. Michael, as it can be tended better
when planted that way, but | have
seen more grown to the acre when it
was drilled. If checked don't put over

DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.

Many daily habits, particularly of
eating and drinking, are formed by fol-
lowing our elders.
In this way ill health is often fas-
tened upon children. A Ca lady says:
II had been allowed to drink coffee
ever since could remember, but even
as child l had weak stomach,
which frequently refused to retain
food.
"The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as found
out later, the cause of the stomach re-
belling against food.
II now see that 1t was only from fol-
lowing the example of my elders that
! formed and continued the miserable
habit of drinking coffee. My digestion
remained poor, nerves unstrung, fire.
quent headache, and yet did not sus-
pect the true cause.
Another trouble was bad, muddy
complexion for which spent time and
money for creams, massaging, etc.,
without any results.
After i was married was asked to
try Postum, and would you believe 1t,
/, an old coffee topper, took to Postum
from the very first. We made 1t right
according to directions on the pkg,
and it had most delicate flavor, and I
at once quit coffee. with the happiest
results.

Allowed.-This pretty and simple
model is very good style to wear un
der the plain and semi.dressy tailo,
suit of broadcloth or velveteen. 1t is
adaptable to any of the materials
used for waists, but looks particular
ly we'll in cotton crepe, either in
white, cream or matching the color
of the suit with which it is to be
worn. Eight forward turning tucks
distribute the fullness either side of
the center-front box-plait, the first
three being stitched to the waist line
and the others to nearly the bust
line, giving the required fullness to
the lower edge, which is slightly
gathered to hold it in position. The
pack is also tucked at the center, and
groups of downward-turning tucks
trim the rather close-fitting sleeves,
which are gathered into the armholes
and finished with turn-back cuffs of
fine embroidery. The pattern is in six
sizes-32 to AZ inches bust measure.

Governor Carroll is expected home to-
morrow from his tour OF the state institu-
tons with the Board of Control and 1t is
understood from persons with whom he
has talked that he may recommend some
changes in the law at the next session of
the legislature. The one thing the governor
has talked about most is the idea of pro-
viding for visitors to all the institutions
to talk to the inmates and investigate any
alleged abuses. He has not decided to
make this recommendation, but is turning
it over in his mind.
The governor found on his trip that
while the board has looked after all the
business affairs and other details of the
state institutions in a manner above re-
proach he became convinced that they
could not have the time to investigate the
care of the patients. Published reports
that the governor will make the manage
ment OF the stated institutions the cam
paign issue in the next campaign for re-
nomination are not given any weight in
political circles.
