PERPARE

1 have had a good many years of ex-
perience in growing wheat and have
found that the earlier the seed bed can
be prepared the better.
To endure the vicissitudes of winter
the wheat plant must have firm root,
but not TOD deep. spreading near the
surface rather than striking down.
The wheat plant makes its growth
while there is plenty of moisture in the
roots down into the subsoil in search of
moisture as does the clover or corn
crop
i find that early blowing gives the
best opportunity and conditions to the
seed bed i perfect condition for the
wheat crop.
n 1t is the only way we can insure a
compact. firm soil with the right kind
of seed bed on top to insure a good
crop.
The seed bed should be two or three
inches deep, with a well-hardened stra-
tum of compact soil below that wl.cn
has been thus settled by rains and the
pressing of the roller and trampling OF
teams,
1 have found that when the soil be-
low the seed bed is open the crop is un-
satisfactory.
A large acreage of wheat is now
grown after crops of spring grain. and
II Is equally as necessary to get the
planting done early as it was when the
summer falIow was the prevailing
method of preparing for wheat seeding.
The stubble and weeds are in them
selves an injury to the seed bed. They
help to hold up the furrow under which
they are turned and some time Is re-
quired to allow them to se,de down and
rot The manurial value of this rub

If there is no bathtub in the house
IT is an easy matter TO rig up a pretty
good substitute. 1t consists simply of
a barrel, about 10 feet of one-inch pipe,
and common faucet with a sprinkling-

The hired man speaks and stands for
himself If there is no water connection
in the house the barrel must be filled

will warm up the entire barrel. and it's
mighty comforting to stand under the
