1t is not necessary to drain the silo

run a drain tile around it two or three
feet from the foundation.

DEEP FALL FLOWING is BEST
Not Only Necessity for Sugar Ecets,
but Might Be Worked to Advant-
age With All Other Crops.

All our best farmers have long since
come to a conclusion as to the neces-
sity of deep fall plowing for sugar
beets and the rule might be worked
for all the other crops and we would
still be ahead of the game When
beets are to go in on spud land on
which the potato digger has done it's
awful work there is no necessity for
blowing, but on other land a depth of
six or eight inches should be the mini
mum and subsoiling from four to six
inches below that will be found ad-
vantageous, and this country has never
yet bought enough subsoil plows nor
are they used as much as they were
20 years ago. Flowing around the
field should be avoided. Where land
is arranged for the furrow method of
irrigation and the ordinary plow used
the direction should be only with the
slope. Flowing at right angles to the
slope will leave the dead and back
burrows in the field in such position
that even if smoothed over by cult
vation they will prevent uniform
flow OF water through the burrows.
This plowing should be left in the
rough so that the soil may be well
aerated and be able to catch and re-
tain snow or rain without drifting or
run off. On land which is checked the
direction of the plowing is not so es-
sential except as it affects permanent
ditches Fields that have been winter
irrigated must be thoroughly culti-
vated after watering so as to retain
the moisture applied, for the spring
winds levy a great tax on evaporation
~and we are looking for a good many
hard blows this winter. The CORFU
gator is good thing, but alas, so few
of us have corrugators and the iron
foundries are not turning them out
when it would be so simple to do SO.
Duncan Arizonian., 1911-11-01
Separate the Cockerels.

The young cockerels should be sep
arated from the pullets just as soon
i. as they are old enough to be distin-
guished. 1t would be better If they
could be kept in an enclosure not far
from the pullets, particularly at the
beginning of each laying season, says
a writer in an exchange.
We are going to repeat here what
we have so many times said that the
best use for the cockerels is to make
capons of them. Every cockerel that
is not kept for breeding purposes
ought to be caponized.

MuIchinq Celery.

1t is hoped that large number OF
our readers will try growing celery by
mulching this year. Commercial
growers who use this system almost
invariably apply fresh horse manure
as the mulch, says the Baltimore
American. 1t is placed between the
rows Immediately after transplanting
and at the ratio Of 40 or so tons per
acre. This means a covering of three
or four inches of manure, which will
conserve moisture better than fine
soil mulch.

YOUNG Goslinqs.

Goslings are easily affected by the
cold and damp, SO it is best to wait
until the weather has become fairly
warm before they are brought out.
Many goslings die from sunstroke
and they should always be provided
with plenty of shade and water
If there is no stream near the
breeding farms set tubs in the ground
on level with the surface and keep
them filled with clean water.

rmo Kinds of Pinkeve

There are two kinds of pinkeye az

The Sense Of Humor.

A man has a sense Of humor or he
has not. II he has not he cannot ac-
quire It; II he has 1t by birthright, he
cannot lose it with the passing of
years. The only change as life goes
on in one who has this Unborn sense is
that different things appeal to 1t from
those that excited amusement in
youth, but in this it is like other
mental faculties. As judgment mel
lows and ripens, SO the power Of dis.
covering those things that excite
smiles becomes more discriminating.
Humor is not a physical attribute to
fade as the body loses its youthful
elasticity, but purely mental. Men
who possess it in goodly measure have
been known to smile on their death
beds owe the very comedy Of life
