 The early maturing bullet makes the best hen to breed an egg laying strain from.
 When ducks are raised for breed CTS it is practice to set ducks upon their own eggs.
 Fine grit and charcoal are mighty good to have around easy of access for the chickens.
 The ventilation of the roasting quarters should come from the scratch ing shed if possible.

 Remember the chickens have on their out of doors clothes all the time and will keep warm if their clothes are kept dry.

"DRY FARMING" IS MISNOMER
According to Prof. Campbell Method Should Be Called Scientific Farm
 ing"-Practice Is Old.

Dry farming, that is farming in the arid lands of the west where irriga- tion is not possible is being boomed very hard these days.
 Large companies have bought up immense tracts of this land at from twenty-five cents to one dollar an acre and strong efforts are being made to induce the farmers from the middle west to settle upon them. When this movement was started few years ago it was known as the Campbell system of dry farming. MT Campbell having succeeded in inter- esting some of the western railroads in carrying on extensive experiments. Now it is known as scientific farm ing. and MT Campbell at the Dry Farming convention in Montana last year admitted that dry farming" is misnomer and 1t should be called scientific farming.
 The system consists simply in pre- serving a dust mulch to keep the moisture, which comes from the win ter rains in the ground during the months when no rain fall occurs This system is as old as farming itself and has been practiced in India and other dry countries of the far east for ages. Now. many new tools have been de- dry soils in this country and the very best practice known 10 agriculture has been applied.

INCREASE YIELD PER ACRE
Quantity of Water Required to Pro duce Grain Becomes Smaller as
 Fertility Is Improved.

One of the most important recent discoveries in the handling of crops and especially Of grain Is that in ref erence to the relation of soil fertility
 and moisture. Experiments have brought proof that the quantity of water required to produce bushel of grain becomes smaller as the fertility of the soil increases. It requires twice as much water to produce bushel of grain on an infertile soil as it does on fertile soil in good tilth. says the Kan sas Farmer. Tests showing this re- suit have been made both in Europe and America. In every case the more fertile soil, either through tillage or the use of manure or of commercial fertilizers, the less the amount of water necessary for the production of each bushel of grain.
 The greater portion of the plant food in the soil is inert until by deep blow ing. thorough tillage and early prer~ ration it is made available to the plants. Such treatment holds moisture deeper in the soil the air and the gases work on the inert earth and the moisture helps dissolve the plant food, increasing the number and action of bacteria in the soil these bacteria manufacturing plant food from the earth particles.
 A wheat grower who gives his fields the minimum amount of tillage, only disking his land. does little toward making the fertility available and 2.0OO pounds of water or more may be re quired in his fields for each pound of wheat harvested. The growsI- who follows the plan of shallow blowing se- cures some increase in fertility, but not enough to use the moisture to the best advantage
 Early preparation of land deep blow ing and constant cultivation until it ;e in good tilth, with spring harrowin- makes the soil so fertile that onl'- about one-half as much moisture is rc quired to produce a bushel of grain as it required with slight preparation. Intensive tillage secures double the service from the rainfall
 Commercial fertilizers and manure, after Becoming thoroughly incorpor- ated in the soil have the same effect Rotation with legumes and summer following similarly increase the grain producing effect of the rainfall. This is the surest way to double or treble the yield per acre

Forefqn Trade-Domestie Rights.

Build up foreign trade if you can, but do not do it at the expense of the American people" said MT. Frank B. Kellogg, special assistant to the at torney general. in his argument on the Standard Oil case before the Su- preme court.
 There seems no sound justification for the practice of selling abroad of American manufactures at lower rates than are charged in the domestic mar ket. Yet this practice is common un- der the existing tarin system. Pro lection Is demanded for the American manufacturer, but 1t Is frequently used, not for protection against for eign competition, but as license to op- crate domestic monopolies.
 The real status of the American manufacturer, as to his needs of pro- lection, is shown when he sells in an unprotected country like England, for example. Yet congress continues to grant protection to the sugar trust while that trust shows that it can sell Its products in England, marine freight added. for approximately two cents per pound less than it exacts in this country, where 1t has a monopoly. And sugar is only one of very many American products sold for less abroad than at home.

KEEP GOOD MULCH WORKING
One of the Great Principles of Dry Farming Is to Prevent Loss Of
 Water by Evaporation.

A mulch Is anything applied to the surface of the soil. primarily for he purpose of preventing evaporation and occasionally to keep down weeds and avoid winter-killing of plants. writes J. Freer in the Northwest Farmstead. There are two general kinds of mulches.
 Foreign material. such as straw. leaves, sawdust. manure. stubble and Fand applied to the surface.
 Those composed of natural soil modified by tillage One of this kind is called dust mulch" or dust blanket. and is simply a layer of soil which has been loosened up and dried put. Mulches of foreign material play a very small part in general farming but are extensively used in horticul- ture Tn 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, cir culating 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 re suits Ordinary soA mulches two to three inches deep are usually most effective. When a mulch becomes wet its effectiveness is gone until it dries out
 Light rains and irrigations on a mulched soil are worse than no appli- cation of water, because they only wet and destroy the mulch and allow the water from below to escape. with out adding any to replace it. Addition al expense is incurred by the cultiva- uon, which must be immediately started to restore the mulch.
 A quantity of water retained by cul- tivation 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 farming is to keep a good mulch on the soil all the time to prevent loss of water by evaporation.

 Little @ck, Oct. 13.-Even this early with the membership of the next general assembly still dependent upon the vote of the people with the exception of nineteen Aold-overs in the sen- ate, legisl#ive politics is begin ming to taM shape.

Little Rock, Oct. 13.-Tear- stained missives are once more flooding the executive chamber, pleading piteously for the saw ing of Earl Gilchrist, the negro sentenced to hang for the mur- der of Will Longley, killing which the supreme court pro- nounced "a premeditated and wilful murder" Walter E. Ruth erford of Oakdale, Washington, a former resident of Arkansas, wired as follows:
 To-day gained intelligence of decree by Arkansas judge in Earl Gilchrist case. l contrast sentence upon immature child with that upon Ellis of mature body and mind. My sympathy goes to child, and I beseech you, governor of my native state, to show executive clemency be- caue of extreme youth"
 Wm. K. Colton of Pulling, Wash, wires, Might not death sentence passed upon little Earl Gilchrist be changed to a penal ty more human?
 D. w. Mott, a member of the California legislature, wires: Must the child, Earl Gilchrist, hang? Mature conception of justice gives executive power to commute or reprieve where courts must sentence. Extreme youth justifies clemency a hor- rified and praying nation believe you will grant,"
