DRY FARMING IS ANALYZED
Proposition at Boston Is Very Simple
and Takes In Four Essential
Features.

The dry farming proposition is at
bottom very simple. says the Farm.
Stock and Home. 1t takes account
of four things:
Get a Deep Water Reservoir.-To
get this, pillow deep, or put subsoil
pillow after the stubble pillow.
Make a Firm Seed Bed.-To secure
this use some system OF packing the
soil, preferably the sub-surface pack
err. This provides the grain with the
best opportunity for termination.
Keep Dust Mulch.-This is the
cork that bottles up the water held
In the reservoir. and that Is given to
the plant through the medium of a
well-prepared seed bed.
Get Plenty of Rain.-Dry farming
enthusiasts frequently forget to men
ton this item. but 1t really Is impOr-
tant. Dry land produces nothing. All
tho work done implies water. Get
water. or fail!
This is the dry farming gospel In
a nutshell The rest is application
There can be no hard and fast rules
laid down because soils differ. and In
order to meet the conditions above
laid down, methods must differ locally
Which leads to the final remark tina
when man Is betting his time an(
that Of his family against a new coun
try and limited rainfall he needs {
whole lot Of common sense, or an In
ordinate amount OF luck.

HORSE SHOEING
''' IS SCIENCE
No Man Is Fully Equipped for
Task Unless He Understands
Anotomy Of Anixna1's Foot
Advance Being Made.
BY VIM. J. KELLY


Formerly the ordinary blacksmith,
who knew very little about the under
lying principles that should govern
horse shoeing, was called upon to shoe
horses AS a result very much Of the
work done was inferior and such work
reacted in many instances against
the usefulness Of the horse that was
thus shod.
The advance that has been made in
this branch of blacksmithing during
recent years, has been very great.
The work of shoeing horses Is SO
variable in its requirements that nc
small degree Of skill is required on
the part of those engaged in the bust
ness.
It would perhaps be correct to say
that no horse sheer is fully equipped
for his work who does not understand
considerable about the anatomy of the
horses foot. He should also be able
to detect defects in the animals loco
motion and should know how to shoe

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Give a little salt to the stock once
a week.
Stock of all kinds should be looked
to daily by the farmer.
Hogs Of all description. and espe-
cially brood sows. should not be al
lowed to become constipated.
The man who has had no expert
ence with hogs should start with one
choice brood SOW.
Sheep are somewhat different from
cattle on feed and vastly different
from hogs.
The farmer making a business Of
breeding draft horses always has
plenty Of teams to do his work.
BY all means reject the close-built
SOW or gilt that Is good to look at
but has no stretch or size.
An accumulation Of manure In the
sheep shed Is not needed to keep the
sheep warm
| Don't forget to give the stocl
plenty Of fresh air and exercise dur
ing the cold weather.
There are a great many types. bu
a true brood sow should be built big
with plenty of room to carry biz
litter.
A special business of the draft hors,
Is to haul heavy loads and do heav.
work at slow speed. Strength Is thu
first consideration.
A pair of horses weighing from
400 to $500 pounds each are heav.
enough for any kind of farm work
but many farmers prefer horse witt
more weight.
1t Is surprising how much depend
on the shape and carriage Of horse
even an ordinary work horse, espe
cially when you want him to do a Iii
tie pleasuring with once in a while

TITLED GROUND KEEPS MOIST
Fact Should Encourage Those on
Seemingly Very Dry Sod Land
Keep Shallow Mulch.

Moisture follows tillage to an extent
and often under favorable conditions
to very considerable extent. This
has been distinctly proven by the rec
ords of the Montana substations,
where the increase of moisture from
almost none to enough to mature
fair crop has not been unusual.
Tillage also seems to take the wild
out of some OF our driest western
land and enables one to do much bet
ter with trees than at first Touching
upon this point. the Denver Field and
Farm says:
THE dryness of sod or breaking
compared with well titled land Is not
generally known by newcomers into
the shortgrass country. 1t is for this
reason principally why the Buff
falo sod is not so good for trees. alfal-
ia, garden. ETC.. as land that has been
deeply and thoroughly titled. We
have to go through a process of CIV
liking the soil before 1t will take kind
ly to cultivated crops. The aridity OF
sod has often been very discouraging
" uCWCOACI6 AOI JuO6iA6 AAoA SAO
lack of moisture In that-the only land
they have-they are apt to think the
country drier than 1t really Is. To
illustrate this, one need not go farth-
er than digging down into the sod Of
q roadway in any country during q
prolonged dry spell and digging into
the earth in the nearest plowed or cul-
tivated field. The first will be found
as dry as . bone and baked SO it can
hardly be penetrated with a sharp
spade, while the cultivated soil. though
possibly not rod distant, will be
loose and moist This fact should en-
courage those on seemingly very dry
sod land to know that when once 1t
is deeply and we'll titled. particularly
II pains be taken to keep the surface
worked into q shallow mulch, many
more times the moisture will be avail.
able than during the first year or two
after cultivation. In favorable sea-
sons trees do very well put out In sod
land. and gardens make a very en-
couraging showing on back-setting, but
more often tree or shrubbery planting
and garden making on new land Ia
very discouraging. 1t nearly always
pays better to first get the land thor
oughly worked good and deep before
attempting much In these lines and we
would not overlook rough fall-plowing
for anything"
