Dry Farming Requires Brains.

Dry farming is scientific cultivation
OF the soil in the fullest sense OF the
words. II requires brainy men, who
will study and who will work their
land diligently. The man who goes
west TO take up this class of agricul.
ture does not need to be rich, but he
must have some capital. He should
have from $500 to $4,000 in order
thst he may buy machinery, some live
stock, build Tor himself a home and
have sufficient capital with which to
support his family until his first crop
is harvested and marketed. In some
localities, where biennial cropping is
necessary because of the slight rain.
fall, this means that he must have
enough to live on for at least Is
months. The failures of the west are
due in almost every case either TO
lack of capital or laziness. The dill
gent man with a fair amount of CAPT
tai should not fail

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
II Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, pota-
toes, coffee, and ETC.. and adopted a
breakfast of fruit. Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and cup Of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once in while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside food
Of low nutritive value and takes up
food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good,

A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate OF pot
ash grown in the grains from which 1t
Is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen In the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers.

ALFALFA GROWN ON DRY LAND
Crop on Soils Particularly Adapt
ed to Its Culture.

The growing of alfalfa on arid land
has proved a decided success for at
least 20 years but some kinds of soil
are not so we'll adapted to this great
forage plant as others. AS a rule q
sandy loan is the best but it will also
thrive well on our bench land and
foothills where there is a clay SUBJ
well on heavy. gumbo-clay soil without
irrigation. In growing alfalfa one
planting is good for a period of ten
years. In ordinary seasons and on
common land two tons of hay can be
cut from an acre. All farmers know
second croo will bring from three to
five bushels of seed to the acre which
sells as rule for 81 or sS a bushel.
Then there is the chaff from which
the seed is threshed, which is also
worth something. The expenses of
harvesting and threshing the alfalfa
seed crop are hardly one-half that of
wheat crop. In growing wheat the
land has to be plowed, narrowed and
planted for every crop and to be sue
cessful the land should be cropped
only every other year. Thirty to 50
bushels an acre is a very good yield
for summer fallowed dry land. The
price of wheat averages about 70
cents a bushel for a period of five
years. II will be seen from these
figures that the growing of alfalfa
is the most desirable crop for dry land
where it can be grown successfully.

CLOVER AND ALFALFA SEED
Promises Well In Several Sections
Where II Has Been Tried In
Northwest.

The growing of clover and alfalfa
and in several sections where it has
been tried the yields of seed have
been good and the quality of the very
best, says Dakota Farmer. In many
of the eastern states where clover Is
grown extensively for hay and as a
fertilizing crop, 1t seeds very sparing-
ly and seed is shipped in each spring
from other sections. Where clover
seeds well 1t is a highly profitable
crop as the price is nearly always
high. The seeding season in the Da-
kotas is usually conductive to good
filling and 1t is believed by many
that in time a large amount of seed
will be produced within our borders
for sale in eastern states. Practically
all alfalfa seed is produced in semi.
arid sections either with or without
irrigation
Many are coming to think that al
falfa seed grown without irrigation is
superior for seed especially where it
is to be sown under natural conditions.
The nearer home that seed Is grown
the better it usually is. Plants be-
come acclimated to certain sections
as does stock and any great change
OF environment results in decreased
vigor and yields.

value of the legumes to any system
of permanent agriculture, every eff

ants room is 8 feet 6 inches by 5

ture about this house is the large
amount of closet room offered. There
are six closets, all of good size.
This house can be built at mod
crate cost and will afford much de-
light to the owner If placed on a rise
of ground, on account of the abund'
ance Of light offered by the numerous
windows. A feature of modern CON
struction, which is based on sanitary
principles. is an abundance of sun
light. which is deemed essential to
happiness and good health. Home
builders are coming more and more
TO appreciate these essentials in con
struction. and 1t certainly is vital TO
the welfare of the race.

In the building OF town situated
