OXYGEN NEEDED IN SOIL
irrigation Farmers Are Warned
Against Further Neglect Of Proper
Drainage System.

The germs in the soil which develop
a nitric acid in the soil find oxygen
indispensable 10 their life, and it is

needed to prevent the destruction #
the nitrates after they are once form
ed and with these facts staring US
in the face. ii is plain that we are II
danger of having the soil depleted Of
its needful nitrates through the de
struction OF the organic matter. II the
land is allowed 10 remain too Ions
with insufficient ventilation, as a re
suit OF poor drainage. This fact is EN-
phasized in the works of all our sol
experts Prof Con. in his book. The
Principles of Plant Culture" sums the
whole matter up in this terse state
ment:
Drainage promotes soil aeratior
by forming an outlet for the surplu:
water that would otherwise fill the
cavities. Although moisture is essen

The farmers on irrigation land arr
especially warned against furthe
neglect Of drainage. Delay is suicidal
Procrastination is not only the thief o
time. but robber flching the posi-
bilities of success from the farme

PREPARE LAND FOR ALFALFA
Early Cultivation Should Begin as
Soon in Spring as Ground
Can be Worked.

Good preparation OF the land is i'm
portant. The soil should be quite
firm and should have mulch OF
loose soil an inch and a half or two
inches deep over the surface. Fall
blowing will insure sufficient packing
of the soil and in the spring the sur
face can be worked up into a good
seed bed. This carly cultivation
should begin as soon in spring as the
tinued to conserve moisture until
danger of heavy freezing is over. when
seeding may be done, says the Denver
Field and Farm. There should be suf-
ficient moisture in the soil 10 germi-
nate the seed and keep it growing UNI
til it is eight TO ten inches high when
water may be applied If needed.
With spring blowing it is difficult to
get a seed bed firm enough and one
that will retain moisture well enough
for best results. The soil will be toe
loose and will dry out quickly. 1t is
therefore advisable when the land is
plowed in the spring to irrigate be
fore seeding provided the soil does moi
contain an abundance of moisture
For best results the seeding should be
done tolerably early in spring The
particular time will depend upon thu
altitude and the local climatic con
ditions. few degrees of frost will
do no serious injury but heavy frost il
likely to kill alfalfa when just out o
the ground. II the seed bed is in per
feet condition and a drill be used
eight to twelve pounds of first grad
seed the acre should be sufficient 70
a good stand. When soil condition
are unfavorable or broadcasting
practiced from IL TO IS pounds ma
be required On irrigated land it
better 10 have a thick than d thi
stand. The use of seeder that SOW
in drills and covers the seed is TO b
recommended as the seeds are cove
ed and each seed is given an equs
chance for termination with ever
other. A drill with press wheels a
tached is also desirable The seed
should be sown shallow-from on
half 10 two inches deep

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOME
Little Ideas That Make for Economy,

Comfort.

table mat is less expensive than the
regular silence cloth, washes easier
and answers the purpose very well.

For outdoor use, a two-candle power
electric light Enclosed in frosted
glass globe on each gate post, or YER
anda posts, will carry" a long way,
lighting the path and giving a cheer
full glow to the premises at night, at
little expense. The switch may be In
doors or on the porch.
Run a tuck in the children's new
boomers, for even If the material is
shrunk before making up, it will
shrink more, and they are so soon out
grown and begin to draw uncomfort-
ably.
1t is better to have the elastic only
half as wide as the casing, and draw
1t out before washing, as 1t shrinks
considerably, and unless left very
loose, will impede the circulation.
Flour. baked in the oven until thor
oughly heated and dry, is much more
wholesome for thickening gravies

which needs long cooking in liquid.

GARDENERS.

The people of Fargo are quite inter-
ested in the different gardening move
ments. Some people are boosting for
the boys gardeners-and others for the
different phases Of the work. The
plan promises to be more widely adopt
ed this year than formerly. The high
price of foods a turned the minds OF
many people to the possibilities of the
small backwards and lots for helping
to supply the family table.
Vegetables are never so good as eat
en- soon after they are gathered and
near the place they are grown. This
applies with especial force to sweet
II peas, beans and other things OF
that ~kind-fresh from the garden.
Many other vegetables do not seem
to be injured much by shipping-but
none Of them can be said to be i'm
proved by transportation.
There is one suggestion to the Fargo
amateur gardeners. Don't waste
space on vegetables that will give no
appreciable superiority over ordinary
market supplies in quality. II your
space is limited use it for the more
tender and luscious vegetables-and
plant others only when you have the
room.
