.PLOW RIGHT At
THE RIGHT Time
H. w. >CANIPBELL's SYSTEM OF
SAVING MOISTURE IN SOIL
By BETTER FLOWING,

This spring farmers Will nave
chance to give a practical trial In
cultivating land for the purpose of
saving what moisture there is in it.
Campbell's Soil Culture Manuel is a
splendid little work and is highly
recommended for it's useful informa-
ton by the State Agricultural Col
lege. H. w. Campbell is known
throughout the country as a pioneer
in the dry farming cultivation and he
has made a great success in showing
how soil can be plowed and treated in
dry years and good crops still Sc
cured, II
In discussing plowing he shows
that it is no simple operation that
can be done when one has the time
and in any old way any more than
is success to be expected If a butcher
were to amputate an arm. He states
that the soil should be prepared for
plowing by being disced, and the
, sooner after harvest the better. The
discing prevents evaporation, kills
weeds, makes better contact of the
!, furrow slice with the sub-soil. Plow-
ing the soil when dry does not bring
about the good that plowing should
do,
The p,owing should be packed and
narrowed the same day as plowed.
He goes into all the details that one
needs to know in order to put the
soil into the best condition for a
good crop. It is not that 1t is so
much more work but rather that the
work shall be done in certain way
at a certain time. It is of course
some more work. But if a man Ia
taking load of grain to market and
wien he gets half way should say
that it is too much work and turn
around and goes home, how much
would he accomplish? Just the
same way with the man who says that
lit is too much work to put his ground
in good shape. He may loose the
whole crop as good many did this
year, and after putting on lot OF
work. Let the work be effective, 60
clear to town with the load or else
| do not start at all.
The study of Campbell's Soil, Gull
ture Manuel will be worth hundreds
of dollars to any one who is raising
crops if he will put the teachings
into practice. Can he afford not to?
Those following these teachings In
1910 reaped what would be bumper
crops for most farmers in good year
while the crop was in many instances
a complete failure on the adjournine
farms. It is not theory but the re-
suit of experience and study worked
out in actual field work, and under
conditions that are drier than IN

A Husband and Wife Who Never
Quarrel Over Money

On the Page of Good Ideas"
in the September number Of the
Woman's Home Companion is
the following report from a wife
as to how she and her husband
handle the money question:
NY husband and l have given
our system Of expenditures a fair
trial for over four years of mar
ried life, and as it has been such
a positive success, I feel that
can heartily recommend it to
others.
Each new fiscal year we
apportion our income to our eX-
penses according to what we
have found necessary for each
need by experience. All that
applies equally to the family as
a whole we lump under the head
of General Expenses; namely,
food, rent, car-fare, maid, in
surance, etc., also amusements
shared in common and charities
from the united family. For
each of these we appropriate a
fixed amount. Then we also set
aside a definite sum for each
member Of the family for. the
year for Personal Expenses.
My own share is a trife larger
than my husbands, because OF
the unavoidably greater expense
of my clothes. Ny baby daugh-
ter's, at present, is half Of my
own. This includes all her
clothes, toys, books and crib and
carriage fittings.
"Our own personals, in a sim
liar way, include all our in
dividual expenses in the way OF
clothes, church and charity,
Christmas gifts. fads not shared
by the household as a whole, fo1
instance, modern fiction, bought
by myself, or expensive rose
bushes ordered by my husband
I'm this way we can each IN
dulge our pet extraVagances
without making the other pay
for them, and our personals are
wholly free from each others
supervision or comment, so long
as at the end of the year we have
not exceeded the sum appointed.
Thus we both, while sharing the
responsibility for the genera
expenditures, have a small sum
which one can spend in as wise
or in as silly a way as we choose.
