HINTS ON DRY
LAND DFAR MING
By Prof. r. S. Cooley,
Sup't Montana Farm
ers' Institutes
EXPERIENCE In MONTANA.

The cold timer says dry land farm
ing Is failure except in occasional
good years. This is chiefly because
land greed has led men to spread over
more territory than they can till well.
l know farmer in Montana who was
nearly "all in 80 far as credit ana
expectation of paying his land went
lie was getting twelve to fifteen bush
els OF wheat per acre and not quite
paying expenses on 1000 acres Of bench
land. Three years ago he didn't know
whether his creditors were gong to ley
him 60 on or sell him out. He got a
Cambell g Soil Culture Manual, studied
it, bought more horses and harrows and
began to follow its teachings. In 1907
he got SO bushels Of winter wheat pei
acre on 700 acres and in 1908 he got
46 bushels per acre on 800 acres, and
made $4,000 above expenses.
Four harrowings last May and June
increased his crop l6 bushels per acre
over that Of his neighbor who followed
Campbell up to that point but hadn I
the nerve to drag his young grain. He
attributed his success to thoroughness
in conservation of moisture, prepara-
tion Of seed bed, and narrowing his
grain in the spring.
The Old Method: Flowing TO a
depth Of or inches, leaving the
ground to dry out or grow weeds, care
less seeding and neglect do not merit
success, nor is success likely with that
style of farming on irrigated lands.
Dry Land farming, in order to sue
ceed, means better farming. Where the
work is done intelligently and dill
gently and at the right time there ar,
too many shining examples of splendid
harvests on Montana dry land to war
rant the opinion that they cannot b.
successfully farmed. To make thes>
lands produce good crops observe these
| points.
l. Water is escntial
2. You can store water by tillage.
8. Seven to ten inches more water il
found beneath surface which has beer
summer titled than beneath an untitled
surface adjoining.
4. Plow five or six inches deep
6. Harrow Immediately after plowing
before the burrows dry out.
Z. Keep dust mulch by narrowing
during the summer. Don't let weed
and grow and watse the soil water.
9. Harrow the grain in the spring.

OLD-AGE P-NSIONS.

Representative Wilson OF Pennsylva-
MIA has introduced bill IN Congress
for old-age pensions. 1t Is reported to
provide that all persons over 65 years of
age who have resided in the United
States for twenty-five years and have
been citizens for Is years, not possess
ing property exceeding $1,000 In value,
or with an income in excess OF $40 a
year may be enrolled to receive a pen
sion of Sl20 q year to be paid quarter
ly.
The policy of the government just
now is for retrenchment. The note of
warning has been sounded at a timo
when Great Britain faces a deficit OF
sSO,oO0.000; France Of $4,000. 10000 and
Germany of $3.50, ,O0O, 900. and the chances
of passing an old-age pension bill are
therefore not good. although pension
legislation i'll the past has not been un-
popular
Some day old-age pensions will be-
come a wcll-deserved recognition by the
state of the worth to it of honest la
Dor. But whether that time has al
ready come is a question. In some
countries old-age pension laws are in
force. The adoption of such laws by
this country would go far to make them
popular elsewhere.

sassination of Garfield should be
avenged and nothing but a unanimous
report of a commission OF high expert

EXPORT AND IMPORT OF MONEY

II is now stated that in the neigh

abroad this year, by people In this
country. to relatives in the Old World.
That is large sum, but 1t Is balanced
to some extent by the money brought
in by a million immigrants and by
money received from abroad by peo-
tives, and this latter item Is by no
means inconsiderablc.
On the other hand. American tour
lists spend abroad. annually, many mil
lion dollars, for the benefit of transpor-
tation companies, foreign hotels and
business houses. and American heir
esses spend still more for foreign hus-
bands with questionable titles. There
Is, of course. some European travel in
this country, and some marriages that
bring money into this country from
abroad. but export OF tourist and

encourage immigrants to send or take

A DANCING CURE.
Westminster Gazette

In an article on ancient Highland
spas the British Medical Journal refers
to Il curious Highland remedy. This
was the dancing cure as 1t was prac-
ticed many years ago in Strathspey.
a Highland shepherd, one Donald Nc
Alpin, a famous dancer, was reputed to
have cured his mistress of a mysterious
malady by means of dancing a reel
with her. and this story being noised
abroad gained him the reputa-
ton of being a successful physi-
clan. His humble cottage, overlooking
Strathspey, WAS besieged with crowds
OF patients who hoped to get rid OF their
ailments by dance with Donald. The
shepherd did not hesitate to take ad-
vantage OF this stroke of good luck, and
soon had large and thriving practice
He engaged as assistant an an
cient piper who did the duties Of
