PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS
Fields Must be Handled Differently
During Very Dry Seasons Than
When Rain ls Plentiful.

Those sections that have actually
suffered from surplus Of water, un-
less the farms were properly under
drained, will have an experience du.
ring the dry seasons that will lead
them to pay attention to the details
OF what is called dry farming. Let
no one be unduly fearful because of
the results which will follow from
the dry seasons. AS we have noted
above, these seasons are favorable to
the doing Of some very important
things. They are particularly good
In that the grain which we grow will
be free from rust and the straw will
be as bright as can be desired.
but we must handle our fields dif-
ferently during these seasons than
during those where we have abun.
dant and sometimes more than abun.
dant rains. Briefly we will state that
we will plow with much care, says the
Dakoto Farmer. We will plow as
early as possible after harvest or else
use packer so as to establish rea-
sonable degree Of solidity In the
plowed field. We will not SOW broad.
cast but use drill and in some cases
1t will be very desirable to use some
form Of press drill. We will drag
the grain as we'll as the corn. We will
drag the corn longer than we do the
grain fields because the grain will
sooner cover the ground by its growth
and so shading 1t will prevent the es.
cape Of moisture. The dryer the sea-
son the more thoroughly we will cult

later than ordinarily. We can use a
single horse cultivator with surface
blades and while the dust will rise
and the ground will appear to be like
ash heaps. still beneath that loose.

moisture that is absolutely essential
to the growth OF the corn plant. Let
us take comfort that under these
dry farming conditions and dry
weather periods, we will not have
rust on our potatoes but some OF the
best crops Of this kind will be grown
during these seasons. We can have
a reasonable degree Of size in the po-
tato, but better than all this we will
have the high quality Of potato that
Is rarely ever grown when the sea-
sons OF abundant rains maintain.

ing instinct, and when the little house
Is well designed this Is intensified.
Here is displayed design Of a lit.
tie house that Is to be built OF frame
and plastered on the exterior with ce-
ment mortar. We know that houses
builtAin this manner are cooler in sum.
mer and warmer In winter than those
OF other construction, and the cost Is
very little more than that Of frame
construction. The effect Of this de-
sign is artistic and 1t Is Of such a
character as to attract attention. al.
though there Is nothing pretentious
about It Such house will always be
salable, and that Is something to be
considered when settling on a design.
1t is one-story house. the width
being thirty feet and the length TWEEN.

FARM NOTES.

In trying alfalfa start with an acre.
A good lawn makes home attrac.
tive.
Kentucky blue grass makes very
pretty lawn.
Alfalfa is cut for hay when It first
begins to bloom.
A good rotation: Glover. wheat.
corn, fax. wheat.
Celery Is best grown from seed
planted In the hotbed.
The best alfalfa or clover seed to
SOW Is that which is northern grown.
For fall feed mix two pounds per
acre Of dwarf essex rape with the
grain.
Start the garden by sowing beans.
lettuce, peas, radishes, and spinach
In a hotbed.
As soon as the soil can be worked
in the garden SOW the smooth. early
varieties Of peas.
For early rhubarb. put a headless
barrel over root OF the plant. and
pile fresh horse manure around It.
Roll the lawn to firm tho soil about
the grass roots. The top soil has been
loosened by the heaving Of the frost.
Not only for reclaiming worn out
land but for bringing that In fair con.
ditlon into higher state OF fertility,
green manuring Is at once efficient
and cheap.
Head lettuce will grow best In a
well drained, light clay soil, slightly
mixed with sand. The soil should be
full OF humus and heavily manured

Mr. Acland pointed out that a ques.
tlon to be settled was as to the use of
airships for dropping explosives.
Great Britain. the United States. and
Austria had agreed not to use ex.
plosives from airships, but France.
Germany, Italy and Japan had all
claimed that It was fair to do So That
would be one Of the most important
things to be settled at the next peace
conference, and he hoped that, while
II was perfectly fair to use airships

unfair to use them for dropping ex.
plosives or firing projectiles.

The great antiquity OF concrete as a
building material would Justify q
search for early examples Of its use
in architectural expression. But ap-
parently this remarkable material,
which. after all, is only Just beginning
to reveal Its ultimate possibilities, was
used by the ancients only for the
baser purposes Of piling up masses of
masonry. or at best as a backing for
stone and marble facings. The first
suggestion Of Its fitness for architec-
tural expression came when builders
took the idea Of constructing architec-
tural features Of cement mortar.
There is undoubtedly a fascination
about being able to mold SO thoroughly
q plastic material as cement mortar
into any desired form. or even to shape
1t by hand, while still soft, and SO pro-
duce creditable work Of decorative
sculpture. But one invariably suffers
4 shock on discovering that beautiful
stately collonades or arcades and por.
dcos. we'll designed and In style, are
not built Of stone. but that we are
looking at thin veneer OF cement
mortar, In short. that they are a mere
sham.
During this period Of development,
while architects were being led to
adopt new materials. they did not con.
cern themselves with the evolution
Of design in conformity with their new
materials, and It followed quite natur.
ally that no progress was being made
toward the realization Of real con.
crete architecture. In fact no attempt
was made In this direction.
1t would be difficult to estimate

A Clever bit
of Advertising

IT, morning the natives at the
passenger train were startled to see
a regulation jinricksha come wheel
ing up to the Minden flyer. The lady
with her umbrella and the runner
were enjoying the morning air and
the rubbering of the people. For a
time it was believed that this was a
visit from some member Of the ropal
Japanese family, who was taking in
this part OF the world with an idea of
international peace movement Upon
closer inspection it developed that the
husky runner was John Grant, while
the handsome maiden was Miss
Souchereau. They were on their way
to Minden to advertise the Jewel
Maiden which is to be presented to-
morrow evening at the Opera House

A Tough Pair
Land in Jail

IL will be remembered that some
weeks ago German and King, two
prisoners were released from the
Penitentiary. Before the day was
over the pair was in the local Jail
for being drunk and disorderly. They
were sentenced to the chain gang and
served short sentence. On their
release they proceeded TO Reno, and
from the following in to-day's Jour
nal it would appear that they are now
headed back for the Hotel Baker.
where they will be engaged on the
rock pile again. They are evidently
of class that only prison life has a
charm for and are endeavoring to
break in:
Following the robbery of the
White House furnishing goods store
on Commercial Row. Monday night.
the police have arrested James King,
recently released from the State Pris-
on at Carson, and he Is being held at
the city police station pending an in
vcstigation.
Entrance to the store robbed was
gained by breaking pane OF glass
in front. The store was iansacked
and $40 was all that was taken. The
noise that followed the breaking OF
the glass was heard by Mrs. Gilpen,
who rooms over the store, and she
notified the police. In opening a
window to find out the cause of the
crash. il is surmiscd that she was
heard by the burglars, who promptly
made their getaway. Mrs. Gilpen
managed to secure a good description
OF the criminals. and it was by her
statement that King was arrested
later by Captain Trembly and Patrol
man Elder. Kings confederate is
believed to be an ex-convict named
German, who was released at the
same time from Carson.
