LIVE STOCK ON A DRY FAR.

Is not going to keep much live stock

self and his family will be furnished
at but little cost. The first season
he should grow enough food to carry
these through the winter.
In most instances. the plan followed
is quite different. The homesteader
buys his living the first season. He
pays famine prices for IT, Such ma
terials are always dear In new
country. Every effort. therefore, should
be made to avoid purchasing as far as
this may be practicable.
II should be remembered, however,
that live stock cannot be kept on the
dry farm in such numbers as on the
farm OF equal area In humid climates.
This cannot be done for the reason
that that the production is less In the
line Of fodder and also in the line OF
pasture. The production IN dry
areas is peculiar. The straw is OF a
dwarfish cast, while the grain is usu.
ally abundant. The dry land farmer
cannot be too careful not to overstock
lest an unusually dry season should
find him Ill prepared to meet It.

PREVENT LOSS OF MOISTURE
Ono Of Great Principles Of Dry Farm.
Ing 10 to Avoid Loss Of Water
by Evaporation.

A mulch is anything applied to the
surface of the soil. primarily for the
purpose OF preventing evaporation and
occasionally to keep down weeds and
avoid winterkilling OF plants. writes J.
Freer in the New England Home
stead. There are two general kinds
OF mulches:
Foreign material, such as straw,
leaves. sawdust. manure, stubble and
sand applied to the surface.
Those composed OF natural soil
modified by tillage. One OF this kind
is called dust mulch" or dust blank
et," and is simply a layer OF soil
which has been loosened up and dried
out. Mulches of'foreign material play
very small part in general farming.
but are extensively used in horticul-
ture in some localities.
The principle of the mulch is:
Loose, dry material covering wet soil
retards the movement OF water to the
surface, and keeps the dry, circulat-
ing air from contact with the moist
soil, thereby greatly reducing the loss
of water. The finer the mulch the
looser It must be to give good results.
Ordinary soil mulches two to three
inches deep are usually most effective.
When mulch becomes wet It's effec-
tiveness is gone until It dries out.
A quantity OF water retained by
cultivation is of far greater value even
where water is plentiful than the
same amount applied to the soil One
OF the great principles of dry farm
Ing is to keep a good mulch on the
soil all the time to prevent loss OF
water by evaporation.

WeanIna the Lambs.

The eve lambs that are to be kept
for breeders should be weaned at
about four months old. Put the ewes
on short dry feed for few days to
stop milk. Watch the udders. as It
may be necessary TO draw some milk
from the heavy mixers. Grain the
ewes lightly as soon as they are dry.
Some grain from now on is necessary
and will pay well in the next crop OF
lambs.

MANDATE
IS SOUGHT
IN CHICAGO

The proceedings to compel the village
board of West Hammond to set the
date for the city election at an early
date, were begun in the superior court
In Chicago yesterday.
Perry s. Patterson filed a complaint
asking for a writ of mandate to compel
the board to act He related that an
election had been held at which the.
people of the village voted in ravor
of change in the form of municipal
government.
That it is the duty of the board un-
der the circumstances to set the date
of the election as soon as possible. That
the board members have resorted to ev-
cry means possible to delay the setting
of the date, and that it is the wish Of
the people that the election be held at
once. All of the village officials will
be inundated to appear in court and
show cause why the date should not
be set in accordance with the wishes
of the people.
Injunction Coming Up.

the gang have made overtures to him
to be good and quit making trouble.
He says that they have assured him

posed to stick by the people, and that

WOOD IS
READY TO
ACT NOW
Chairman Of Railroad Com
mission of Indiana Ar
ranges to Call Conference
of Erie and G. & o. Officials
With Business Men.

Secretary +. f. Johnston of the
Hamond Business Mems association re-
ceived a fine letter from Chairman
Wood of the railroad commission of
Indiana. IN which he stated that he
would arrange meeting of the officials
of the Chicago & Erie and Chesapeake
& Ohio railroads in Hammond so that
conference with the citizens could be
held relative to the building of new
depot here.
Secretary Johnston also sent a copy
of THE TINES to Chairman Wood in
which the reasons why these railroads
should build a depot were succinctly set
forth
In his letter Johnston stated that the
Hammond Business Mems association
appreciated what the railroad commits
sion had done to secure a new Monon
depot for Hammond and to secure the
nulliication of the proposed increase in
freight rates on less than car load lots
Perission had been asked to increase
the rates in Indiana and this permis-
sion was refused by the commission.
To Do All He Can.
Chairman Wood said that he was
glad to know that the people of Ham
mond appreciated what had been done
for them by the commission. and that
it was a pleasure to do things for a
community that appreciated such work
in their behalf.
He said that at an early date he
would call for conference of the Of
fcials of the two roads and the Ham
mond citizens. He said that he would
act chairman of the conference and
that both tile citizens and the railroad
officials could present their sides OF the
question.
then be taken into consideration by the
commission In determining whether or
not the railroad shall be compelled to
build new station.
Johnston said he thought that in
view of the fact that the c., C. l.
railroad is now running over the Erie
terminal into Chicago that the chances
of getting new depot are good.
