Miss Virginia White Lockhart
left last Wednesday for a
sojourn in Clovis, New Mexico.
She is taking this trip on the adj
vice of her physician for a
change of climate with hope of
benefitting her health. Miss
Lockhart has been teaching piano
in Lexington for eight years, and
during that time she has devel-
oped the musical talent Of a
large number of pupils to a re-
markable degree of proficiency.
1t is to be hoped hat in a milder
climate she will regain her
good health and soon return to
Lexington and her friends. Dur
ing her absence her class will be
in charge Of Miss Mary Wulfe-
hammer.

When you suffer from any form Of
Indigestion it is always well to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,
have a bloated feeling after eating, if
you belch, if your skin is yellowish
you may be sure it is liver trouble.
What you need is something to stir
up the liver, to arouse the gastric
juices so that they will aid in the di-
gestion of your food. A very good
remedy for this, and one highly rec
commended by those who have used
it, is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which you can obtain of any druggist
at fifty cents or one dollar a bottle.
But if you have any doubt about its
merits, and would prefer to try it
first, send your address to DR.. Cald-
well and he will promptly send you a
free sample bottle.

NEEDS A PARCEL POST.

Farris, WASH. March 7th, 1912.
Editor Ranch:-As farmers we all
want a general Parcels Post law.
Don't we? Not "an emasculated ex-
tension to the express companies.
but an honest, straightforward law,
providing for genuine Parcels Post.
Isn't that right? Sure it is. Well
then, let me ask the readers of The
Ranch how many Of you have written
your Congressman and Senator tell
ing them what you want and what
you want them TO do? l venture to
say mot one in ten of you" And
yet the newspapers state that mem
bers of congress are receiving two
letters opposing Parcels Post to one
in its Javor. | have heard it said
that us farmers are the biggest fools
on earth when it comes to combining
or in any way working to protect our
own interests, and | sometimes feel
that there is more truth in the state
ment then is altogether pleasant.
We sure do act that way sometimes.
In the present case, the express COM
panies and the retail dealers are send
ing in letters by the thousands, while

down as long before seeding as pos
sible. It also enables one to clean
out many weeds before seeding.
Where crops follow each other closely
it is impossible to work the soil very
long before seeding the new crop. 1t
is also often desirable to let a green
manuring crop grow to the last minute
to get as large bulk to turn under
as possible.
While deep blowing is the best
general practice the deepest blowing
should be done in the fall or when
done considerable time before seed
ing. When blowing a very short
time before seeding one should do
shallower blowing. To be more spe
cihc spring blowing should be an inch
or two shallower than fall blowing.
This avoids turning up lot of rather
raw soil to seed into. What the ma
jority need is not to make their
customary spring blowing shallower
but rather to make their fall blowing

Now neighbors, get busy in this
matter. Write your Congressman
and ''do it now" The newspapers
dare not say anything because they
depend on the retailer for advertising
patronage. We have got to depend
on ourselves and the farm papers to
carry this thing through, and if you
fail to do your part, don't kick and

lose. I have written repeatedly, and

Western Washington Experiment
Station, Puyallup.
With the opening of spring it is
we'll to give careful thought to the
preparation of the soil for planting.
In heavy soil we must guard against
the danger of working it too wet.
When heavy land is in the right con-
dition it has granular structure.
giving a porous condition similar to
the texture of loaf of light. fine
grained bread. When worked little
too wet this granular structure is
broken down and the soil soon works
down into such closely packed con-
dition that air cannot circulate prop
erly nor will the soil absorb and re-
tain moisture properly. 1t will often
require two or three years for the soil
to come back into the proper granular
structure for best results. When the
burrows sticks over shining with water
it is too wet. When a handful work
Oh Ill Uu0 udhu q low hAhoOOo 0Oe liz
to form mud it is too wet When
ball squeezed in the hand will show a
good grain when broken again it is
in good condition. The harm from
working soil too wet is greatest in
rapidly drying weather. When done
in the fall or during damp, cloudy
spell the danger is not as great.
When the surplus moisture is per-
mitted to drain away slowly the gran
uIar texture seems to be reconstruct
ed to some extent.
On the other hand the heavier soils
should be plowed before they get too
dry. The furrow should break up in
a nice crumbly mass. On the most
difficult soils the disking or harrow
ing must be done at the right time
after blowing else the furrow will not
pulverize properly. This condition
for pulverizing may often be reached
and passed within u half day and can
be determined only by close watch
ing. Doing it at the right time
means bigger crops and less expense
for tillage.
Disking before blowing is an i'm
portant step in handling heavy soil.
While it may not seem to pillow as
neatly the furrow will be much better
pulverized than when it is turned un-
broken and the surface of the burrows
smoothed with light harrow. In
the latter case piece OF ground may
look to be in fine condition because
the surface is fine and smooth when

all the lower part of the furrow in
which the tender plants must make
the greater part of their root develop
ment may be almost unbroken or be
full OF large cheesy chunks with great
holes between and beneath the fur
rows. What wonder that the owner
of such tract is forced to report
that his crop does not seem to thrive
although he prepared his ground
thoroughly, the thoroughness of
preparation being judged by the
smoothness of the surface and not by
the condition of the main body of the
furrow. Soil is not in first class con-
dition till the furrow slice is pulverlz-
ed from top to bottom and worked
down to shut out all large holes be-
tween and beneath the burrows. Disk
ing in OF material to be plowed under
is very desirable so that when the
furrow is inverted and worked down
the manure or litter will be mixed up
with the soil to some extent instead
of laying in masses between the fur
row and the subsoil.
When heavy soil cannot be plowed
as soon as fit and is apt to dry enough
to make it break up cloddy before the
blowing is done, the disking of the
surface when in the right condition
to pillow will help to prevent drying
out and becoming cloddy. Some say
this is lot of extra work but the ex-
perience of large numbers who have
tried it shows that less total labor is
required to prepare the land for seed
ing because the soil plows up SO much
better and requires less labor to pre-
pare or seeding. Furthermore, it is
almost impossible to fit piece of soil
properly when it is plowed up cloddy.
This of course means loss Of crop.
The amount of work needed to pre-
pare a piece of soil properly and the
best tools to use will depend upon
the soil. Bearing in mind that the
entire furrow is the seed bed and that
it should be we'll pulverized and work
ed down to shut out all large holes
and to renew the capillary connection
between the fresh turned soil and the
subsoil the farmer can select the
tools that will accomplish that result
most economically.
Since the insoIuble plant food OF
the soil changes into soluble and
available forms most rapidly in fresh
ly titled land the soil will be in better
condition to feed the plants abundant
ly at the start if plowed and worked

The state bar adopted the recon.
mendation on the reform in appel
lat practice, and a resolution was
dividing the state into four or five
judicial districts, similar to the sys-
tenn now employed in the state of
Minnesota.
The report Of the committee on ju-
dicial reform and changes was adopt
ed, including the report on certain
amendments now before these is the
law on mortgage foreclosure, which
recommends that personal notice Of
tice is advertised.
Resolutions were adopted rejecting
the initiative, referendum and recall
measures before the legislature. It was
not the sense OF the bar association
that the principal should be condemn
ed, but it was declared that the bill
now under consideration is not in the
proper form, and a committee Of
fifteen was named to draft a suitable
bill, which will receive the endorse
ment of the association.
Among the cities which extended an
invitation to the association to meet
with them next year were Devils
Lake, Grand Forks, Dickinson, Man
dan and Fargo, Mandan was chosen.

Evanina Grain Letter,

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Wheat: Opening
prices were steady to a fraction high
sr, the market holding firm with a
dull trade for the first hour after when
weakness set in, and a running de-
cline of INC to 1bc per bushel took
place. There is no question about the
total yield of wheat being fully as
large as any previous estimates, and
we can see no reaSon for anything like
a sustained advance in prices, at the
same time, the market is of such pro-
fessional character that we certainly
prefer to wait for little rallies on
which to make new short sales. Many
of today's sellers at the decline were
covering short wheat a week ago at
&c higher.
Corn: The market proved weak
throughout the session. Perfect wealth
er conditions prevailed over the belt.
Sentiment today was unquestionably
affected by the figures mentioned by
