CONDEMNS BAD FLOWING.
Professor Shaw Discusses Matters Of
Interest To Farmers.

"Much of the blowing that Is done
in the western Dakotas and Montana
is nothing short of a menace to the
immediate future Of crop production.
because of it's wretched character"
writes Prot. Thomas Shaw, the we'll
known agricultural expert, in his most
recent bulletin. ''Some of the poor
blowing is done by the farmers them
selves, but more, much more of 1t is
done by those who use power plows
and do the work at 80 much an acre.
Much Of the work that those men do
10 simply wretched in character. No
milder term will ftly apply to it.
The land plowed is turned over in
part by the mould board plows and in
part by disk plows. The character OF
much of the blowing done by those
power plows will be made apparent in
the following demonstr alton, conduct.

the experimental farm at that place

ing of a monster picnic of two to three
thousand people at the farm. Two
power plows we're at work. One was
a mouldboard and the other q disk
pillow. What was the character Of the
work done? The mouldboard pillow
turned the sod over at depths varying
from two to six inches. In come places
<ho~o r-o.1 %o,~ e1xi-o Ce~oo ~ kho
furrows were thrown over quite on the
top of the burrows adjacent to them,
thus making q crown OF earth and q
depression alongside of it, such as
would call for>great labor to put it in
an even condition, and when &C yer
ed, many sods would lie on the sur
face in q way that would interfere with
the narrowing of the grain crop that
follows. The disk pillow had torn the
sod into furrow slices OF varying
depths and lengths. Some of these
lay with the grass side down and some
with the grass side up. Some of them
lay on the edge and they lay length
wise and crosswise and at all angles.
1t could not be travelled over by man
or beast without labored effort. And
that was a demonstr alton. If these
are the kind of demonstrations that
those with power plows give, what
must be the character OF the blowing
that is not q demonstration? l do not
say that all the blowing thus done by
power plows is of that character, but
much of it is. l have heard 1t spoken
OF as rascally.
The farmers themselves are in part
to blame for such blowing. They
should not tolerate it. If an agree
ment has been properly made. both
parties should live up to 1t. II q
written agreement has not been made,
such an commission Is q mistake.
When q man agrees to pillow land five
or six inches he should either do l,
or 60 without q part OF his pay. II
such plowing were not tolerated Il
would not be done. But many farmers
are too easily Satisfied. They toe

There is nothing new about the idea
Of using Sage for restoring the color

their hair dark, glossy and abundant

whenever their hair fell out or took
on q dull, faded or streaked appear

and applied 1t to their hair with won

Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tireseme method Of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chemists
better than we could do it ourselves;
all we have to do is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Remedy, containing Sage
in the proper strength, with the adj
dition of Sulphur, another old-time
scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful COLI
OF and beauty to the hair. and is one
OF the best remedies you can use for
dandrufR, dry feverish, itching scalp,
and falling hair. Get a fifty CEN bot

The discovery was made while the
hotel was being renovated prepara-
tory to tho opening of the place by the
ew proprietors who recently arrived
from Minneapolis. Wrapped up in
black oil cloth, and deposited In the
far corner Of the attic, which is vir-
tually the third floor of the building,
the body was found. The place Is ac-
cessible by climbing q ladder and
