BENEFITS OF DEEP FLOWING
Fresh Plant Food-shouId Be
Done In the Early Spring.

CBy HENRY F. BLANCHARD, Assistant
Agronomist. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
We cannot place too much stress
upon the importance Of deep plowing.
The few inches Of soil at the surface
have been SKINNED for SO long that
they are practically devoid OF plant
food In available form. For this rea.
son alone 1t becomes necessary to
turn up fresh soil. This will neces.
state cutting below that stratum Of
soil commonly known as the "plow
pan" which has been formed by the
practice OF plowing year after year
at the same depth. In many localities
plowing at a depth OF eight to twelve
inches Is advisable. Unless green
manure crops are to be turned under.
this depth should be reached by a
gradual increase in depth for two or
three years. By this gradual increase
in the depth the soil will become
properly mixed with the surface soil.
Deep plowing requires more power
than Is needed for the ordinary meth.
cd. and the first deep plowing Is more
difficult than subsequent plowings.
This is due largely to a more or less
packed condition OF the subsoil. Deep
plowing should be done In the early
spring while there 10 still sufficient
moisture In the soil. 1t should not
be done while the soil Is either too
wet or too dry. While the benefits
derived from deep plowing may not
be SO evident the first season. the re-
suits obtained are OF permanent char
acter. The subsoil Is benefited by
direct contact with the air and other
climatic influences. and the effects OF
deep plowing will be more noticeable
the second and succeeding years.

DRY FARMING IN A NUTSHELL
Kansas Farmer Raises One Crop With
Rainfall Of Two Season-Har-
row After Each Rain.

My system Of dry farming is to
raise one crop with the rainfall Of two
seasons. have 80 acres under cul-
tivation. divide these into two 40.
acre tracts. l put a crop on one tract
In 1912 and the other disk up the
same spring. after rain and harrow.
writes J. Neugbauer in the Farmers
Mail and Breeze. AS soon as time
permits 1 plow this second tract as
deep as possible and harrow after
each rain to keep the weeds from
growing through the summer. and II
narrowing will not keep them down.
the ground Is double-disked. The har.
rowing and disking will keep a shall
low mulch on the surface that will
hold all the moisture in the soil that
falls In 1912.
In the spring OF 1918 you will have
from IS inches to four feet OF wet
ground under the mulch on which to
grow a crop. plant 20 acres OF this
to small grain and the remainder to
corn and potatoes. harrow the
small grains after every rain until
they are too big: then take a cult
vator with four small shovels on q
side and cultivate shallow. SO as to
keep a three-inch loose mulch on top.
Try this method and you will be
surprised to see the crops you will
raise on this second 40-acre tract II
you don't wish to experiment with as
much as 40 acres. try 10 or 20 acres.
In this way we can raise good crops
in spite Of dry spells. and II done
right 1t will mean fewer acres to
farm and at the same time better
crops.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found In the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev.
cry woman Is regularity Of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes. bad breath. frequent headaches,
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
Is In most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion. or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective. is
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is q
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect. Strengthening the muscles
Of stomach and bowels SO that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tions without assistance.

A mans dairy herd will be Just
what his ideas Of a dairy herd are.
Every instant that milk stands in
the stable 1t gathers contamination.
Good butter always brings good
prices, and there Is no excuse for
producing any other kind.
Milk should never be exposed to
foul air in the COW stable or In dirty
tanks before 1t is delivered to the
creamery.
Grain feeds are more digestible
when ground than when fed whole.
Hence the COWS will make better use
Of ground grain.
One job that will pay for itself in
one season Is the putting up OF a
handy. convenient milk house before
spring work crowds.
A silage is great milk-making
food. and fortunate Is the farmer with
ewes who can give them a light feed
of silage twice a day.
It is almost impossible to restore
the flow Of milk to the original
amount after it is once allowed to
run down for lack Of feed.
1t is as impossible to estimate the
productiveness and value Of a COW as
It is to guess the exact number Of
bushels Of corn a certain field will
yield.
A good COW will make more money
than any other farm animal. and the
money SO realized does the farmer
more good than that realized from
any other animal.
No matter what the changes in
Temperature in the atmosphere may
be the temperature Of cream for
same winter and summer.
A 1,OO0-pound dairy COW requires
seven-tenths pound Of disestible pro-
tein, seven pounds Of digestible car.
bohydrates. and one-tenth pound Of
digestible fat for maintenance

Esparto Grass.

Esparto grass Is indigenous In Al
geria and covers a large area of semi.
arid land that would otherwise he
of little or no value for agricultural
purposes. The vitality of the grass
is lowered by too close picking and its
productivity has been greatly less
ened in certain districts, but as there
are some 12.O00.o00 acres of esparto
grass in Algeria, capable of producing
about 100000 tons annually, 1t Is not
believed that prices will be affected by
lack of supply.
