WHAT "DRY FARMING" Is

DRY farming" is a scientific term
used BY colleges and authors to diff
terentiate between the new system
of agriculture and the older methods
utilized in the rain belt and irriga-
ton districts. A special system Of
tillage of the soil for the purpose of
moisture and fertility conservation is
known to be necessary for at least
So per cent of the agricultural acre
age of the world, and the Dry Farm
ing congress was brought into exist
.ence for the purpose OF working out
these problems and remedies for the
troubles confronting farmers of the
subhumid districts, or in districts
where there are frequent drouths or
failing soils. Dry farming" is free
from mystery of any kind. Amy
farmer on any soil and in any eli.
mate can increase his acreage pro.
duction, crop quality and bank ac'
count.
DRY farming" methods can be util
lied with profit upon every acre in
every district Of the world. This
phrase does not mean the operation
of farms where no moisture is OBJ
tainable, but does mean the utiliza
ton of such tiNage methods as are
from time to time demonstrated t
be most efficient in the reduction OIL
a practical storage reservoir in Tx
soil, the utilization of minimum On
untimely moisture, etc. - Missouri

WHEN THE SOIL NEEDS LIME

The presence Of sorrel in cOnsid-
cradle quantities is an indication
that the ground has too much acid
in it. The certainty of too much
acid may be found by the use of blue
litmus paper. This paper may be
obtained at the drug store, and a
nckel's worth is enough to test a
Farm.
Put the blue litmus paper in the
moist earth till the paper becomes
moistened. If it turns red, the soil
has too much acid. The remedy is
lime. The usual method Of. applying
lime is by theuse Of ground limestone
which may be applied in the most
convenient way. 1t may be scattered
over the land or may be mixed with
manure and disturbed with a spreader
Three tons to the acre will give a
fair treatment of lime. Chemical an
alysis of soils at the state college of
agricultural will often reveal an I'M
unknown deficiency of some neces-
sary element. By knowing the defic-
iency the soil can then be intelligent
treated. -MisSouri-Kans Farmer.

prepared seed bed is absolutely nee
essary in growing alfalfa.
In the com belt, alfalfa should he
sowed during the LITTER part Of the
summer. II is best to SOW it at least
six or eight weeks before the usual
time Of frost. Il is possible that
there may not be moisture enough
present to sprout the seed, but it
should be sowed at this tine for We
are apt to have rains sufficient to
start the alfalfa any time during
August.
One of the pecnliarities Of the aIal
f. plant is that it will gather ritro-
gen from the air when proper lac.
terra are present and store it in its
roots for the future use CT Other
plants when the field is broken up
It will not gather this nitrogen I'm
less the proper bacteria are present
Sometimes soils may not mead to h
iDoculated, but to he on the SAFE
side it is advisable TO inOculate. Thi
may be done in several ways, but tn
general practice is to use soil from
an old alfalfa field at the rate of 1OI
to 300 pounds to an acre. If the al
falfa field is not handy, use soil iron
the roadside or elsewhere, wher
sweet clover is growing. The baC
terra for sweet clover is PRACTICAL
the same as that for alfalfa. Lal
oratOry cultures Of bacteria may b
obtained from the government az
elsewhere.
The use Of the drill is by far be-
ter than to SOW the seed brcadcas
for it deposits the seed at a unifoT
depth and cove's them all, thus sa'
ing seed and insuring a mere III
, form stand. Care should be exc
cised to obtain the best quality

BURN HOGS THAT DIE OF cHoL
ERA

Proper vaccination of hogs before
they get the disease is an assured
prevention of cholera. But notwith-
STAINING the fact that vaccination is
a very common practice, very little,
if any, Roadway has been made in
stamping out the disease.
Doubtless one reason for the on
ctinued losses from cholera is the
neglect to properly dispose of the
animals that have died of the disease
Some farmers will thoughtlessly and
criminally throw a dead hog into a
creek or river. He may get rid Of
diseased carcass but in so doing the
probabilities are he scatters the dis
ease to many other farms.
The one safe lmethOd of diSpos-
ing of the carcaSses of diseased an
imalS Is to burn them. 1t is a good
plan to gather up all refuse in the
pen and burn that; then thoroughly
disinfect tie premises. 1t is also a
safe thing to do to change the loca-
ton of the pens. Give live hogs a
chance to keep from contracting the
disease.
Cleanliness and good water are
two essential elements Of. health in
man and in the lower animals. The
hog is not naturally dirty an animal
as he gets credit for. The reason he
wallows in dirty water is because be
can find no other. Give him the ia
cilities for a goodbath and he will ia
it Sanitary conditions around the
hog lot are more easily kept than
the cholera Is gotten rid of.-Miss-
ouri- Kansas Farmer.

On and About the Farm
PREVENTING SORE SHOULDERS

To any coed farmer, to say moth
ing of those who are specially fcnd
of horses, one of the most unpls&s-
ant sights on a farm is a horse with
shoulders or other parts CALLED and
lacsrated by the harness. TIE thing
is the more unpleasant because in
almost every case, even with young
horses, whose skin is naturally tend
er, it can be prevented. While it
would be Unfair to say that many
farmers are indifferent in such mat
ters, it is true there are many who
have not given the subject the at
tention that its importance demands.
Abraded shoulders, as well as 9th
er CALLED parts, come from two things
First and chiefly, from ill-fitting har-
ness; second, from lack of care OF
the harness and the parts with
which it comes in contact. 1t seems
almost needless to say that the
whole harness should fit the horse
neither too tightly nor too loosely.
The collar, as the most important
part, should receive the most atten
ton. As to kind, the so-called Scotcl
collar is the best for work horses
although the ordinary hard laathe1
collar will do very well indeed, j
properly made and properly adjusted
In this matter it is no exaggeratiol
to state that 100 collars are to-
loose where one is too tight. The col
lar should always fit snugly. Thi'
snugnesS should, of course, he NOR
in the width than in the length, an
can, in considerable measure, be leg
ulated by having the names rathe
straight, and by taking them up SINUS
ly at top and bottom. - Farm an

to do all winter, particularly if there
is no general break in the market

Chicago is burdened with $4,000 cat
tie today, yet the market is steady
In most cases, a. little weak in spots
A portion of the big run at Chicago
today is Show cattle, for the Inter
national. The sales of the fat steel
classes there later this week may
weaken prices for the prime steers
little. Sixty loads of quarantine
cattle came in today, the best fec
steers there at 7.25, and the hes
.cows at 4.75 to 800. No prime ma
tive steers have been here today
tops selling at $50, which is the up
per of bulk of steer sales, ranging
down to 100. Sixteen thousand cattl'
were bought for the country herr
last week, twice as many as durln:
