SAVING MOISTURE IN SOIL
More Can Be Done In Thirty-slx
Hours Following Rainfall Than at
Any Other Time.

BY W. C. PALMER. North Dakota Asri-
cultural College.
In the saving Of moisture In the
soil many Of us are good deal like
the rabbit In the fable. In the winter
time he was always speaking OF build
Ing n house next summer when sum
mcr came and he was reminded OF IT,.
he answered. Every bush Is n house
now" When n good shower comes we
ought TO get the moisture into the soil
and keep II there. We have no assur-
ance that we will have more rain riGh,
away. that there Will be enough to rip
en- the crop. to put the soil In good con-
dition for plowinE. to leave the soil
with n good moisture content for next
spring. More can be done In the 36
hours following n rain than nt nny
other time. If the soil is too dry. then
save what little moisture Is left ke.
member that moisture cannot pass up
through loose soil.

POULTRY NOTES.

The shady hooks are reiished by the
hens.
Lime water is n healthy drink for
young turkeys.
Let your young chicks have all the
sunlight possible
Iic sure that the ducklings have
plenty shade and water.
a portable poultry house Is an nd.
mirablc arrangement for young tur.
keys
kat,,r corn is an excellent ration for
poultry II fed in connection with other
| feeds.
Cleanliness Is nm essential sanitary
condition for all animals. but particu.
larly SO for birds.
Scrnys from tho Kitchen are not
very acceptable to turkeys. They lik"
all their food fresh.
Keep tho dust box supplied with
nice clean dust and see that the grit
box is never empty
II IL always undesirable and unn"c-
cgsary to feed condiments TO hens to
stimulate them to lay.
Do not hold cockercls for market
too long after they reach the weight
OF four or iivc pounds.
Oyster shell is absolutely the best
I shell making food for the hens. Keep
IL before them constantly.
The poultry house should be con-
struCtcd with view to Its frequent.
easy and thorough cleaning.
I, iq best never to attempt TO bring
turkeys up IN the muck yards. or let
them associate with old fowls.
One OF the first problems which the
poultryman IL called upon to solve Is
the location OF the poultry plant.
A ten dollar rooster Is generally
cheaper than n two dollar one The
good blood will tell the second year.
The ventilation OF the poultry hous"
should be provided for In such way
that draughts of air will not strike
the birds.
The roost and nest boxes should he
movable. so that all parasites which
collect upon them may tc reached
and destroyed.
The conditions required for the
maintenance of health and viRor In a
flock OF fowls are similar to what are
required Tor other animals.

INCREASE YIELD PER ACRE
duce Grain Becomes Smaller a.
Fertility Is Improved.

One of the most important recent
discoveries In the handling of crops
and especially Of grain is that In ref
erence to the relation OF soil fertility
and moisture. Experiments have
brought proof that tho quantity OF
water required to produce bushel OF
grain becomes smaller as the fertility
Of tho soil increases. 1t requires twice
as much water to produce a bushel OF
grain on an infertile soil as 1t does on
fertile soil In good tilth. says the Kan
sas Farmer. Tests showing this re-
suit have been made both In Europe
and America In every case the more
fertile soil. either through tillage or
the use OF manure or OF commercial
fertilizers. the less the amount OF
water necessary for the production Of
each bushel OF grain.
The greater portion Of the plant food
In the soil Is inert until by deep plow-
Ing. thorough tillage and early prep".
ration it Is made available to the
plants. Such treatment holds moisture
deeper In the soil. the air and tho
gases work on the inert earth and the
moisture helps dissolve the plant food.
increasing the number and action OF
bacteria in the soil. these bacteria
manufacturing plant food from the
earth PARTICLES.
A wheat grower who gives his fields
the minimum amount Of tillage. only
disking his land. does little toward
making the fertility available and 1000
pounds OF water or more may be re-
quired In his fields for each pound OF
wheat harvested. The grower who
follows the plan Of shallow plowing Sc
cures some Increase In fertility. but
not enough to use the moisture to the
best advantage
Early preparation Of land. deep plow-
ing and constant cultivation until 1t Is
in good tilth. with spring narrowing.
makes the soil SO fertile that only
about one-haf as much moisture Is re-
Quired to produce n bushel of grain
as 1t required with slight preparation.
Intensive tillage secures double the
service from the rainfall.
Commercial fertilizers and manure.
after becoming thoroughly incorpor.
ated In the soil. have the same effect
Rotation with legumes and summer
following similarly increase the grain

Is the surest way to double or treble

Fetching Coal In Alaska

Dispatches from the northwest
bearing upon he recent incident
at Cordova, Alaska, where con-
signment of foreign coal was
dumped into the sea as protest
against the failure of the govern
ment to permit the developement
of Alaska coal supplies, seek to
minimiz the Importance of the
event and discribe it as the work
of a press agent. AT any rate,
the denials indicate that the ac-
counts of the Alaska coal party"
aud the agitation against the at
titude of the government have
had the desired effect upon the
minds of the people of the United

We live in commercial time. To
be able to eat is to be able to trade

comfortably is to be able to trade

sence OF its use under our system
of society. Let Alaska open up
