PREPARE FOR WINTER WHEAT
Grain Farmers PIow immediately Aft
er Barley or Oats Is Harvested
Prevent Evaporation.

Oats and barley stubble land in
tended for winter grain and to be
seeded to grass should be plowed
early and narrowed soon after plow-
ing, SO the ground can settle. Heavy
land should be plowed with three
horses. We use the sulky pillow, set
to cut an even furrow and a good
depth. Harrow and roll before the
plowed ground dries out. A fine, mel
low top soil win prevent evaporation
of moisture and It can be put In nice
order for drilling with a second or
third working with the spring-tooth
harrow and roller. says writer in the
Baltimore American. Land plowed
just before sowing is too spongy; it
should be plowed at least two weeks
before the train is drilled. Expert
grain farmers pillow Immediately after
the barley or oats is harvested and
then harrow and roll. When oats or
barley precede crop of winter wheat
the land is much dryer than a proper
ly managed summer fallow. and II the
season should be dry and hot It is
difficult to get such land mellow and
moist enough for termination of
grain. If barnyard manure is to be
spread over the field il, viii pay to hire
spreader for the manure can be
spread so much better, as the spreader
cuts the manure fine and spreads an
even and regular coat over the en-
tire ground. Two active men with a
two-horse spreader viii haul and
spread large pile of manure In a
day. The regular price for the use
OF q spreader is so cents per day. II
spreader cannot be had, haul and
spread direct from wagon or cart. The
manure spread one day should be
narrowed into the ground the next;
there is no loss of plant food from
the manure drying out from action Of
sun and wind. Spread IL two-horse
wagon loads Of rooted manure and
drill the gain in with $50 pounds Of
good animal bone fertilizer to the
acre. The manure and fertilizer win
give larger yield Of grain and bet
ter quality Of straw than either ma
nure or fertilizer used alone.

The pole Lmas are better yielders
than the bush variety. but there IL
more labor attached In growing the
pole variety; however, the difference
in yield overcomes this to great ex-
tent.
I find that the best methods OF
growing Lima beans Is to use trellis.
In constructing these trellises. the end
posts should be set deeply and well
braced. The bottom wire may be Of
No. ~ or IA (any light wire viii dol.
but the top one must be Of No. 9 or

Brace the end posts well and set
small posts every 10 or IL feet and
staple the wires to these. When moro
than one trellis IL to be made side by
side. the distance between them
should be six feet and the trellises
should run north and south-this win
give sunshine to each side, and win
