stepmother Of Mint JuIep.

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory of the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
its fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the home Of the mint julep, and its
colonels have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way In which they drink whisky with
a little dash of sugar and sprig or
two OF mint in order, chiefly to over
come the necessity for large amount
OF water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
It transpires. however. that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
of mint last year amounted to 1858
pounds. or enough to make 1924, 1920
juleps. This amount includes the mar
keted product. only, no account having
been taken of the countless thousands
of 1uleps which were compounded dur
ing the year with a base Of the undi-
luted moonshine whisky that never
paid cent Of tax.-St Louis Star.

PUTTING IN DRAINAGE TILES
Many Acres of Land Could Be Made
Most Productive If System of
Undertaking Put In.
(By s. NJ. MILLER.)

During the last few months there
has been much discussion in the agri-
cultural press concerning the best in
vestments for farmers. In my opinion
there is no better and safer invest
ment for the average farmer than tile
drainage on such parts of the farm as
fail to produce maximum crops during
wet seasons. There are many acres
of naturally fertile soil that are not
paying the owner the cost of working
that could be made the most produc-
tive portion of the farm If good sys-
TEN of undertaking. was put in.
In many cases the first crop will
pay the entire cost Of drainage. OF
course many farmers are so situated
that they cannot afford to put in the
complete drainage system at one
time.
My advice to such men is to have
their plans made at one time and do
a little every year. In this way their
work shall not be haphazard, discon-
nected efforts. but shall fit into a pre-
viously worked-out system and form q
permanent part of it.

Shelter for the Farm Yard

inches square on the inside If only
four posts are to be use; the concrete
is tamped inside same and when
cured the frame may be erected upon
them to form the foundation for the
stack When desired the number of
posts may be increased and the size
of same decreased; thus, If six posts
are used they will be amply strong if
made 12 inches square; if eight posts
are used they can be made ten inches
square. The advantage Of this shelter
is very apparent to every farmer, as
it saves a large portion Of the straw.
etc, that would be wasted by the
cattle trampling it into the yard. A
manhole can be built through the
center of stack and the straw thrown
down through it in feeding, thus Civ
ing the cattle a sheltered place to
feed away from snow and rain. If
well made, it is not the least un-
slightly.

After q Visit to the Holy Land Even

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and. In
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and proper sense of the sanctity
OF the location and Of the events that
have transpired there, and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts Of them,
as furnished us In the pages Of the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and 1t is i'm
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
Identity. 30 exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work In the fields, the arrange
ment of the buildings, the very arti-
cles Of diet and clothing Of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the

become obtrusive the manners and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days Of the pres
ence on earth of the Saviour. Be-
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible Of localities, climatic and geo
graphical conditions, distances, ETC.,
Of these times and those of today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even
skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord Of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
vinced of its veracity; to the believer
1t comes as wonderful conviction,
satisfactory confederation or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them 30 graphically
saw them SO long ago.-Columbia

ORGANIC MATTER OF SOILS
Necessary Element Is Secured by
Crop Rotation by Flowing Under
Green Crops and Manurine.

By D. W. FREAR, Colorado Agricultural
College)
All cultivated soils and most virgin
soils contain plant and animals re.
mains, called organic matter
When in the last stages of decay,
organic matter is called humus. HUI
mus is dark in color and imparts that
color to soil when present in sufficient
quantities.
Organic matter is very light in
weight. When partially decayed, and
especially in the form of humus, it
has the power to absorb and hold
larger quantities of water than even
the finest clays.
Humus is more plastic (sticky)
than sand, and less plastic than clay.
Consequently 1t is very valuable ip
binding together sandy soils and loos-
ening up clayey soils.
When organic matter decays, sub
stances called organic acids are pro-
duced which act on the soil mineral
matter and help to make 1t soluble,
so that it is available to other plants
The food material which the organic
matter contained is also broken down
to its original form, and much of it
is again built up into plant tissue.
Organic matter is gotten into the
soil by crop rotation, by plowing un-
der green crops, by manuring and by
raising crops with extensive root sys-
tens. When added to soils in arid
regions 1t should be well rotted. 1t
is one of the most important soil con-
stituents. The lack of 1t in soil is
largely the cause of the decreased
yields under the single, continuous
cropping system.

A Movable Corn Crib.

The size of the crib is according to
the amount of corn raised
The walls must slant out a little, as
shown in the cut, as this will keep out
the rain better. The floor is tight.
This kind of a crib is quite cheap
and may be built of small poles nailed
close together if no barrel slaves are
at hand.
Such crib keeps the corn in good
condition. 1t dries quickly and keeps
dry all the year around which is not
possible for corn kept in tight
granary where it molds and spoils at
once.
