MEDITATION ON
GUY FAWKES' DAY

In the English calendar this Is still
celebrated as Guy Fawkes' Day. and is
duly observed by the schoolboys, who
construct an outlandish effigy of Guy,
parade 1t about the streets, begging for
''Just penny for poor Guy" then hang
and burn 1t. The following meditation
may be pertinent for the day:
Poor old misguided Guy!
Buried meath load of obloquy.
His name and day a bywoId! Why?
Forsooth, because his scheme to help
themasses
BY elevation OF their ruling classes,
BY giving parliament a sudden lift,
Was for the slow old time, a trifie swift.
All, yes! How many plan
To thus uplft his felowman
In this untoward world has come to naught
plotl
II seems his scheme was to the time unsuited
And he. but not his plan, was executed.
And pictured now as any common rogue is.
His face out-Herods all the scarecrow bogys
All! When We mediate on all
hail.
Then do we sigh for honest old Guy Fawkes
To hoist out all the hungry. thieving hawks
Tho bribers and brtbe-takers out to cast
And clean our Augean stables at one blast
This were hero's mission-proud to tell
And poor old Fawkes, he meant well:
IT'S sad. In this bad world the wise and goot
Are persecuted-and misunderstood.
That lying history makes such garblet
OF honest Guy and of his good intention.
Poor Fawkes-ill-timed. ill-fated-
Ye great-great unappreciated!

CARE IN SELECTING CROPS
Those That Will Mature Early Should
Be Chosen for Dry FarIning-Tur-
key Red Wheat Leads.

The careful selection of crops and
seed Is necessary for success in dry
farming. Crops must be chosen that
will mature early. Turkey Red wheat
has averaged a, yield of better than
thirty bushels to the acre for twenty
years, giving it easily the first place
as dry land crop in this state, says
the Denver Field and Farm. Other
promising dry land crops are hulless
barley, the earliest spring crop to ma.
ture; macaroni wheat, spring crop
which natures early, but for which
the market is uncertain; some early
maturing oats, the Six Day variety
for instance, although oats are not an
especially strong dry land crop. Corn
requires constant cultivation and rela.
lively but little moisture and can take
the place of summer following as soon
as proper varieties are developed
White Australian is the most satisfac-
tory thus far discovered, but 1t lacks
in feeding quality. Alfalfa and Can.
ada field peas. which put nitrogen into
the soil for the grain crops and which
will mature a good yield with little
moisture, are very valuable. Broom
corn Is coming on as something of q
dry crop, while first rank must be
given to the non-saccharine sorghums
such as kaffir, milo maize, durra and
rice corn.

PROGRESS OF DRY FARMING
Those Who Followed Scientific Meth
DDS Last Year Had Good Crops
Others Made Failures.

(By W. c. PALMER, North Dakota.)
The opposition to the name DRY
Farming" is dying out in North Da'
kota. The dry weather which charac
terized the last crop year has been
good school master. Those who haa
followed the dry farming methods had
good crops, while those who had not
often did not have crop enough to "a
worth while cutting. 1t looked queer
to see field of grain on one field thai
would go 80 bushels per acre and the
next one go four or five, both having
had the same rainfall. 1t Is not hard
to understand, though. The evaporA-
ton from q water surface Is 30 inches
In the state during the spring and
summer months. This Is more than
the rainfall for whole year amounts
to, which in the state varies from Is
to "a inches. To have any left for tho
steps to save the moisture. Those who
had grown corn and potatoes, who had
| disked after cutting the grain, who
had summer fallowed, who had plowed
under clover or added organic matter
to the soil-that Is, where 1t had been
done In accord with dry farming prin-
ciples-had from fair to very good
crops this year. 1t is generally con-
coded that II there had been two
inch rainfall at the critical time, good
crops would have been assured all
over the state. By cultivation, this
could very easily hive been saved
and more, too.
At farmers Institutes there is more
call for talks on dry farming than any
other subject. The question often
comes in this way: What shall l dc
to be ready for a dry year?"
While some real estate men are
opposed to the term dry farming
yet the putting into practice Of
these principles is what will assure
the farmer of a crop every year, al
least as far as moisture is concerned
1t is those who practiced dry farming
methods last year that have demon
strated what the state can do in dry
year. They have been the salt of the
earth.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Good draft horses, though high in
price, find eager buyers.
Southdowns are supposed to lead all
other breeds in quality Of mutton.
Young pigs cannot thrive in cold
sleeping quarters, or where 1t is the
least bit damp.
A good feeder can make corn worth
60 cents a bushel by putting II
through a hog.
Sheep have good warm wool coats
Do not be afraid to turn them out
even on cold day.
In considering cheap feeding and
feeding for the best results. tho silo
must not be overlooked.
Keep sheep out while they're out
and in while they're in. Don't leave
doors open to cause draughts.
Now that breeding sheep can be
bought at a reasonable price more OF
them should be going to the farms.
Who has not seen the hogs piled
upon each other in cold weather, shiv
ering. fighting to get into a warm
place?
| rough, VI utdI liodliHcHl tHdl keeps
a sheep in constant fear and nervous
excitement is not conducive to good
growth.
Do not allow too many head oil
swine to nest together. for they will
pile up cold nights, generate moisture
and take cold.
One of the first needs of the pigs
Is comfortable place in which tc
pass more than half of the time
sleeping and resting.
The trouble with keeping old sows
is that they become too fat ant
heavy. and often kill lot M theil
pigs by lying on them.

DRY FARM CONGRESS
Il Is As Yet a Comparatively
Young Institution.
Great Things Have Been Accom-
pIIshed, However, In Its Brief Pc
Rod Of Existence-Collects and
Distributes Best Theories.

The dry farming congress is a COM
2aratively young institution. but five
annual conventions having been held,
Great things have been accomplished,
however, during the brief period of It's
existence, not least Of which Is the
general awakening OF the public, not
only to the necessity OF enlarging the
productive area of the western half
If the United States. but to the posi-
oility of doing SO.
The dry farming congress collects
md distributes the best theories, as
we'll as the actual experience of prac-
.ical men engaged in agricultural and
horticultural pursuits where the nor
NAL precipitation is light. This en-
braces an area covering several hun
'1red million acres. The principles Of
dry farming also apply to vast areas
usually considered within the humid
belt.
Enough data has already been gath
cred to insure the success of agricul-
ture over vast regions heretofore con-
| sidered barren and non-prOductive.
The future, without question, will see
even greater agricultural development
along this line than it's most ardent
advocates now dream of.
Foreign countries, such as Aus
tralia, Russia, Hungary, South Africa,
and Mexico, all. are engaged in the dry
farming propaganda. Out of all the
experimental and research work of
these cOuntries-Our own leading
them-there, unquestionably, will be
evolved system of agriculture
adapted to the smallest amount of
moisture that will produce profitable
crop.
This will involve not only methods
of tillage, but the selection and breed
Ing of drought-resistant crops adapted
to the various ATTITUDES of the cOun
tries interested.
Moisture conservation has become
a science, and the last word has not
been said that reveals the exact
amount Of water, all things consid
cred, necessary to produce profitable
crop. Locality. fertility of soil. pres
ence of weeds, character of plants
etc, all must be taken into account
and everything or agency that dlssi
pates moisture, except the growing
plant itself, must. as nearly as possible
be eliminated. Special tools must be
invented to properly cultivate the soil
and drought-resistant strains of ce
reals bred to adapt themselves to lin
tied moisture conditions. If two drops
of water have hitherto been doing
the work that one could do as well
we must ascertain that fact, and how
to doubly energize the smaller amount
Because we have wasted water sim
ply on account of its superabundanct
as we wasted our timber-is no ar
gument against successful agriculture
where economy is practiced with wa
ter as we'll as with labor. Plants
even, can be taught to be economical
of what is scarce IL we reciprocate b.
giving more of what. Is more abund
ant, as with less water and more ma
nure.

WEIGHTS Horses Should Carry

At the Paris horse show recently a
special jury of experts was appointed
to determine just how much a horse
of a given weight should carry in the
saddle. The jury brought in the fol-
lowing decision: A horse weighing
not more than 1875 pounds should not
carry a greater weight than 1877
pounds provided the girth of the anil
NAL does not exceed 81 inches A
horse Weighing 935 pounds or less.
with q girth OF 50 inches, should not
carry more than 209 pounds, and a
horse weighing 1.045 pounds, with a
girth of II inches, should not carry
more than 231 pounds.

Don't allow the offer of a good,

horses suitable for farm purposes.
