INCREASE YIELD FEE 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
erenee 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. 1t requires twice
as much water to produce a bushel OF
grain on an infertile soil as It does on
fertile soil In good filth, says the Kan.
sas Farmer. Tests showing this re
suit have been made both in Europe
apd America In every case the more
fertile soil, either through tillage OF
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 pillow
ing, thorough tillage and early prepn.
ration 1t 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

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 1000
pounds of water or more may be re.
CURED in his~ffelds for each pound OF
wheat harvested. The grower who
follows the plan of shallow blowing Sc,
cures some increase in fertility, but
not enough to use the moisture to the
best advantage.
Early preparation of land, deep pillow
ing and constant cultivation until 1t Is
in good filth, with spring narrowing
makes the soil SO fertile that only
about one-half as much moisture is re
quired to produce a bushel Of grain
as It required with slight preparation
Intensive tillage secures double the

SAVING MOISTURE IN SOIL
More Can Be Done In Thirty-six
Hours Following Rainfall Than at
Any Other Time.

By W. c. PALMER, North Dakota Asri-
cultural College.
In the saving of moisture in the
soil many of us are good deal like
the rabbit In the fable. In the winter
time he was always speaking of build
Ing house next summer. When sum-
mer came and he was reminded of 1t,
he answered, Every bush is house
now" When good shower comes we
ought to get the moisture into the soil
and keep 1t there, We have no assur-
ance that we will have more rain right
away; that there will be enough to rip
en- the crop, to put the soil in good con-
dition for blowing, to leave the soil
with good moisture content for next
spring. More can be done In the SO
hours following rain than at any
other time If the soil is too dry, then
save what little moisture is left. Re-
member that moisture cannot pass up
through loose soil.

WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF HIM
Remark by No Means Complimentary
Made by Constituent Of Repre-
sentative Underwood.

Representative Underwood, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee In congress, represents what Is
known as a manufacturing district"
because 1t contains all the factories
and shelters In and about Birming-
ham, Ala. But he also has among his
constituents lot of farmers-of which
fact he is now PAINFULLY aware.
He drove out to a settlement in
Bib county one afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS ne stepped up to the porch
OF little store an old man rushed up
to him with the request;
Please sign this paper. It's petit
ion to Congressman Underwood to
have a young lady postmistress here"
I'D be glad to sign it, said Under
wood politely; but as I'm not a resi-
dent Of this community. my name
wouldn't help you"
"Oh. yes, 1t would" the old farmer
assured him. We're getting every
body to sign It. strangers and all.
Go ahead and put your name down.

know the differencei"-The Sunday

A Dolls Silver Set.

A set of silver for the dolls dress
ing table can be made from tinfoil, SO
it is good plan to save all the tinfoil
that comes around candy, ETC., and
smooth 1t out nicely. You may make
a mirror for the drawing room or the
dolls boudoir of the tinfoil with a
border of gold paper. Cut out piece
of cardboard in any shape you desire
and then cover it with tinfoil. The
gilt border should not be plain. but
should be cut into ornamental cor
ners or used to cover raised frame
OF cardboard. If you are going to use
the mirror for the dining room or IL
hrary Of the doll house make the
mirror In the same manner with a
double cardboard frame around the
edge and cover this frame with dark
paper in the wood tones.

POULTRY NOTES.

The shady hooks are relished by the
hens.
Lime water Is healthy drink for
young turkeys.
Let your young chicks have all the
sunlight possible
Be sure that the ducklings have
| plenty shade and water.
A portable poultry house Is an ad
mirable arrangement for young tur-
keys.
| Kaff1r corn is an excellent ration for
poultry If fed In connection with other
| feeds.
Cleanliness is an essential sanitary
condition for all animals. but particu-
larly SC for birds.
Scraps from the kitchen are not
all their food fresh.
Keep the dust box supplied with
nice clean dust, and see that the grit
box is never empty.
1t is always undesirable and unnec-
essary to feed condiments to hens to
stimulate them to lay.
| Do not hold cockerels for market
too long after they reach the weight
Of four or FIVE pounds.
Oyster shell is absolutely the best
shell-making food for the hens. Keep
1t before them constantly.
The poultry house should be con.
structed with view to its frequent
easy and thorough cleaning.
1t is best never to attempt to bring
turkeys up in the muck yards, or let
them associate with old fowls.
One of the first problems which the
poultryman is called upon TO solve IL
the location of the poultry plant.
A ten dollar rooster Is generally
cheaper than two dollar enc. The
good blood will tell the second year
The ventilation of the poultry house
should be provided for In such way
that draughts of air will not strike
| the birds.
The roost and nest boxes should be
movable, SO that all parasites which
collect upon them may be reached
and destroyed
