The following was sent to US b.
DR.. J. b. Durham Of WenOna, III.
who owns land in Deuel. County,
Nebraska, north of Julesburx:
Never since our early settlement
in the semi-srid west, datiag back
thirty-three years. have both the
soil and climate conditions been 20
favorable to the general growing
crop in the middle Of June Is 1t
this particular time, June the 18th.
In the first place 1910 Was 9ener-
ally very drOuthy; the total rain
fall for the year in many localities
WAS less than any previous year
recorded then followed winter
of light precipitation of either snow
or rain. In some localities fair
to normal snowfall was recorded.
but the snow fell on practically dry
soil; then followed not only dr0u-
thy conditions, but unusually hot
weather in May and June. Last
year about this time u good rain
brought out good winter wheat
because there vas more moisture
carried over from 1909 than was
true of the autumn of 1910, even
where no attempt had been made to
reserve the rainfall. This surplus
moisture kept the wheat alive last
year so that the June rains made
good wheat from some of the very
discouraging prospects, while this
ear all the rains possible cannot
make wheat or oats from many
fields, yet some summer titled fields
are good.
Now, Mr.. Farmer, get busy.
double disk these fields that have
SO completely dried out. Set your
disk to cut from two and half to
three inches deep-nOt over three
the harder your soil, the more
angle ysu must give your disk. If
this operation practically kills the
seeds, especially the Russian this
tie, then do not harrow or other
wise cultivate until you get y rain
or the weeds begin to come, then
harrow quickly. Remember the
disking and narrowing is for a two
fold purpose; to kill the weeds and
save the moisture. If, however.
after double disking you find there
are numerous weeds or thistles not
quite destroyed, follow your doub-
| le disking with the spike-tooth har-
| row to finish the weeds.
With 80 long drouth and the
excessive heat we can reasonably
look for good rains soon and pos
sibly heavy downpours, and it is
up to you to save this possible rain
by double disking. You prepare
the surface to take in this water
while if left hard and crusted
large percent of even a modest rain
will run off. Now is your time to
begin for your next crop; with the
soil SO very warm there will be
something doing in the way of nj
trification as soon rs sufficient wat
er is taken in. Then again by the
double disking there is chance of
soon getting moisture enough in
the soil 80 that plowing may be
more easily done, besides the soil
will be moist, thus making it pos
sible to obtain a very much better
physical condition.
Yes, begin now store your water
in your worthless fields for next
year, and while you are doing this
it is better that you recognize the
fact that plowing the average
heavy soil when moist means more
and better crops than where it is
plowed dry.-Campbell's Scientific
Farmer.

PUSHING GRADING WORK.
Building Lots to Be Provided on
Massachusetts Avenue.

The extensive grading work now going
on on both sides Of Massachusetts, avenue
north of the Naval Observatory grounds
as far west as Wisconsin avenue, or
rather the grounds of the Cathedral
Foundation, is attracting a good deal of
attention from those who pass along
that great thoroughfare.
The purpose in all this effort is to pro-
vide building lots. and the Thomas j.
Fisher Company, which has charge Of the
property. believes that in placing it on
the market at this time demand is be-
ing met. In other words, these observers
of the material development of Washing
ton find there is a need for more houses,
and they are providing the sites for them
and are going to help in other ways those
who are seeking homes.
1t is estimated that about three-quarters
Of a million will be expended before the
work is completed.
The contractor is using three steam
shovels and working twenty-fOur hours
a day, shovels being equipped with acct
ylene gas.
Eight engines and nearly fifty dump
cars are in use on about three miles
Of track.
Over 100000 yards of dirt has already
been removed and the entire amount to
be removed will be over 100000 yards.
Nearly 200 laborers are employed-some
of them as axmen in cutting streets
through the wooded section. The wind
ing roadway through the dedicated park
in the center of the tract is being rapidly
cut through.

1t seems probable, those who supply the
market would continue to erect such
house. 1t may be safely concluded
therefore, that speculative builders en-.
deavor to find out as far as possible what
the public want, with the view of getting
as near to providing their wants as may
be possible. 1t may also be noted; that In
the country. or, perhaps, 1t would be more
correct 20 say in the suburbs of the city.

In those localities it is still the custom
when man wants home to buy lot
and build one. instead Of following the
later-day course of his urban brother and
go out and buy one ready made, although
houses are built for sale in the suburbs
as well as in the city.
Variety in the Suburbs.
No doubt IL the conditions were the
same as with the city man he would no
Longer provide his home from the ground
up. But with the individual to large
extent Manning or. choosing the design
Of his own home, there is pleasing
variety in architecture in the suburbs
What is known as the Long Island
colonial style employed by the Dutch in
the early days has been lately used a
good deal, more especially the feature of
the wide boards or shingles used for the
exterior covering. and also in some in
stances OF the long. sloping roof. AS with
other good examples Of housekeeping
the setting of lawn and foliage is a
decided advantage, and serves to enhance
the attractions Of the building as such.
1t is quite evident, however. that 1t does
not do to set house designed for city
streets amidst the surroundings OF the
country. In other words, some regard
must be had to the location Of the build
ing II it Is to prove an effective addition
to the landscape and pleasing to the eye.

Of the Travers estate of the property

the end of a period of ownership of that
length, since Elias Travers bought from
the heirs Of David Burnes October Is,

what is known as an original lot, and
had a frontage of fifty feet. which now
includes the building on the west known

lot where the building stands were us

1t was in the baking business that Mr..
Travers was engaged when he bought the
property, and he met with such success
that he continued to add to his holdings
until at his death he owned the larger
part of the entire square.

THE SPICE
IN DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE
Variety in Types Marks Distinctive Feature
of Residence Building in the Ma
tional Capital and Its Suburbs.

The variety in the types OF domestic
architecture, which Is such feature in
this city, also marks the building OF
homes in the suburbs and the country
sections throughout the District and the
adjacent portions Of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. A couple Of illustrations are
given of houses that have recently been
erected. AS it happens, both are located
in Chevy Chase. But the principle they
represent remains true of houses located
in any other of the many sections where
suburban or country building is going on.
1t is quite evident to any one who goes
about the vicinity of the city very much
and keeps his eyes open that there is
nothing cut and dried about the archi-
tectural notions of people who build their
homes. They do not build as their
fathers did, or, at least, if they do, it is
not solely because Of that fact. The in
dividual taste and preference as to forms
and materials in house building find eX-
preston to remarkable degree.
individuality Is Seen.
opinion as to the style Of house designing
IS seen in the lack Of monotonous rows
Of homes which are built for the sale
market. The builders would not go to
the trouble Of introducing variety in the
shapes Of the fronts Of houses and the
materials used If it was not demanded by
the taste of those who are likely to buy
them.
AS long as people are willing to live in
houses planned like dry goods boxes and
arranged all alike in long rows, SO long,
