Farmers Should Use Rain Gauge.

Daniel N. Kern, of Allentown,
lecturer for the State Board of
Agriculture, who has kept care
full records, reports that the rain
fall in that city, last year was
40t inches or 7 inches more than
in 1912.
"Up-to-date farmers should
have a raingauge," he says,
Some will ask why and what
for, others say what is a rain
gauge? Any vessel six inches or
twelve inches square, about four
inches high, will do. The sides
should be square up and be set on
a post-level and in an open place.
After each rain measure the wa
ter exactly. When after a dry
spell it is too dry to pillow sod
ground and rain comes the farm
err probably tries to pillow, but
soon finds out that the water has
not gone deep enough.
IF he had a rain gauge he
could have seen how much water
to soak through dry sod ground.
A farmer can soon learn how
much water it takes to soak
through his soil.
Farmers should pillow early in
March for oats, and harrow their
land as fast as they pillow it to
keep the moisture in their soil.
When they pillow and let it lie the
moisture will evaporate very fast.
by frequent tillage many
farmers could double their potato
and corn crops. Oats soaked in
salt water and sown the last
week in March, or the first week
in April, should yield about rs
bushels per acre. If a heavy
rain comes you should run a
smoothing harrow over the whole
field to break the crust as soon
as it has dried off a little. By
this simple process you can pre-
vent the evaporation of many
tons of water and give the young
plants a good start. Seed oats
that are soaked in salt water will
produce straw about six inches
longer than oats sown dry. 1t
will prevent smut"

When luncheon was announced

Mrs. Neal, who will be better re-
membered by her Fulton county

1t was a most delightful occa-
sion-more like an old-fashioned
revival, or quilting party.
Music-vocal and instrumental,
galore-was a feature most en-
joyable. Mrs. Neal and Goldie
Mason held the piano down while

The Mexican Question.

The Mexican situation is one of
the most perplexing questions
any president of the United
States has been called to consid-
err. The Huerta forces are steadi-
ly losing ground, and any one of
the possible victors is said to be
little or no better than a savage
bandit. 1t is said by those in
position to know, that it would
cost this country $100 to protect
one dollar Of American or foreign
capital endangered in Mexico;
and, in addition, many lives: and
yet, this country is expected to
guard foreign interests in this
country, and opposition news
papers would have US believe
that the president and his adj
visers are dallying with Mexico.
We sometimes think that it would
be the very height of consistency
for the president to draft a huge
army from among the worst of
his maligners, and send them
down there to fight the half civ
ilized hordes of bandits. 1t would
be a good object lesson. For
generation after generation, Mex
leo has practiced revolution and
bloodshed, and no administration
has had the stamina to under
take to teach that country that
it lives in an age of civilization
until Mr.. Wilson determined that
the government of that country
may as we'll be made to UNDER
stand that the balance of the
world is tired of it. 1t will be
time enough when the Huerta
administration falls for this coun-
try to seize the ports of entry, in
case his successor proves no bet
ter than the rulers that country
has had.
