man who has seen a good deal of the
world. A number Of years ago he
went to the Philippines where he was
a school teacher for three years. Then
for two years he was the deputy treas

the grounds, and lectures were given
each forenoon. They we're attended
by many people interested in better
farming. The dairy car, the large
display of forage plants and the horti
cultural car received the most atten-
ton.
The building devoted to the manu-
facturers' exhibits was filed, and
many fine exhibits were On display.
Business men of Yakima took great
interest in these, end the manu-

The attendance this year exceeded
anything in the fairs history. The
big attendance was Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, there being from
Ii, 600 to 16, 600 people passed through
the gates each day. There was plenty
of excitement in the racing and pro-
gram to keep the people busy. and
there was a happy throng through the
entire week at the fair. The street
railroad company maintained eX-
celleut service to the grounds, sending
out fat cars arranged with capacity
to seat three or four hundred people
at trip, and these we're used during
the busiest hours of the day

"He who obeys these precepts shall
reap abundant crops. He who VIC
Iates them shall be punished by de-
crease in yield in proportion to the
transgression."
Professor W. g. Palmer, agricultur-
al editor of the extension depart
ment at the State Agricultural College
of North Dakota, says this in fore
word to "the ten commandments of
dry farming submitted to John L.
Burns, secretary of the Dry Farm ing
Congress, for adoption at the fifth an
nual convention in Spokane, October
3 to 6, in connection with the third
international exposition of dry farm
ed PRODUCTS. The commandments
follow:
|. Thou shalt pillow deep.
Deep blowing permits rain to pene-
trate the soil easily and without run
off, also provides more feeding space
for plant roots and makes available
more plant food.
Ill. Thou shalt keep the surface
soil loose.
This prevents soil moisture from
evaporating and conserves the rain
fall. Harrow grain after it is up two
inches or use weeder.
III. Thou shalt cultivate level.
Level soil affords the least exposure
to the air and will take in rainfall
faster than ridged soil.
w. Thou shalt summer fallow.
This should be practiced in all dis
tricts where the annual precipitation
is less than Is inches, as it cOnserves
two years rain for one crop and kills
weeds and plant diseases; and should
be cultivated. Where the yearly rain
fall is more than 10 inches corn is as
good a preparation for crop as the
bare fallow.
V. Thou shalt add organic matter to
the soil.
This holds moisture and plant
food. improves mechanical condition
of the soil and lessons washing, drift
ing and blowing. Stable manure is
the best form. Plow weeds under
while green.
vi. Thou shat keep down the
weeds.
Weeds consume moisture and plant
food crowd plants, shade crops, re-

Ten Commandments.

tard plant life and make land work
harder.
VII. Thou shalt grow early matur-
ing crops.
Conditions for growing are best
during the early summer; winter
grains are better than those sown in
the spring.
VIII. Thou shalt grow corn every
three to five years.
The cultivation required for corn
saves moisture, kills weeds and plant
diseases. Corn is the best prepare
ton for a grain crop; it produces
more food and fodder per acre than
other crops. Do not hill up the corn,
as this wastes the moisture.
TX Thou shalt grow clover or al
falfa every few years.
Rotating with these grasses adds
fertility and organic matter to the
soil; kills weeds and diseases OF
plants and produces an excellent hay
and valuable seed crops.
X. Thou shalt keep stock.
The most prohta BILE way of market
ing grain and fodder is through stock
which produce the manure necessary
to the soil and bring prosperity and
plenty to the dry land farmer.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

Our little daughter. when three
months old. began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her. but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was n solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest. day or night We
had about given up all hopes when We
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got n cake of Cuticura Soap. a
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie Of Cuticura Resolvent. and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose Of the Cuticura Resolvent.
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came on her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was well. She is
now sixteen years Of age and n pic
ture OF health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks. reg
ularly. and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella NJ.

of it had to be discarded as culls on
account of the roughened appearance

towns were russeted considerably and
the Winesaps only slightly. while the
York Imperials showed practically no
russet effect.
The lime-sulphur preparations
caused no russeting. or at most very
little where the strongest solutions
were used. and the fruit sprayed with
these mixtures was smooth. clean and
well colored. The difference in color
between the fruit sprayed with the
Bordeaux and that sprayed with the
several lime-sulphur preparations was
very striking. and this feature alone
would make the latter sprays prefer
able to the former II other things were
equal.
A lime-sulphur solution containing.
when diluted. about four pounds Of
sulphur to SO gallons of water appears
at present to be the most promising
preparation. This may be obtained by

In recent years Bordeaux mixture
has come into i'll favor among the ap-
pie growers on account of its injuri-
GUS effect upon the fruit and foliage
of certain varieties, and there is a
growing demand for reliable fungi
eide which can be used for the control
of apple diseases without producing
such injury. Bordeaux mixture is un-
doubtedly the best all-around fungi
eide known. and 1t is unfortunate that
the apple growers have to consider
the possibility of giving it up: but the
russeting of the fruit and the burning
of the foliage caused by 1t are SO OBJ
jectionable that 1t seems highly de-
sirable, II not necessary. to adopt a

Severe Annual "SIashinG", So

Not Be Tolerated.

The severe annual "slashing'' so
commonly practised by unskilled per-
sons on many Of our city street trees
should not be tolerated by the au-
thorities.
Eyergreens should never be trimmed
in the fall. and the older wood should
not be cut.
Vigorous growing vines. like the
Virginia creeper. may have practically
nIl the secondary growth cut away
during the dormant season. as this
dies of itself sooner or later thus
forming lodging for dust, insects and
sparrow nests.
When pruning roses. the stems
should be shortened one-third to one
half. The gardeners rule is to cut
back the weak growing varieties
severely. and the stronger ones less.
