How many acres of tillable farm

CAUTIONS FOR CEMENT USERS
Among Other Things Do Not Allow
Material to Freeze Before 1t Is
Properly Hardened.

Never expose freshly made concrete
to the hot summer sun. Avoid too
rapid drying out, says the American
C~ultivator.
Do not allow it to freeze before 1t is
properly hardened.
Do not use soft sand stone or brick
except for filler In large work. and
even then with discretion.
Do not apply fresh cement to old
and hardened surfaces without first
thoroughly soaking with water II
hacking a rough surface on it. Cleanse
thoroughly and then apply a very thin.
neat cement wash.
Do not attempt to retemper INC use
concrete that has stood too long in
the mixing board and attained its set.
Use a uniform Portland cement and
give attention to uniform methods of
working and the results will be uni
form.
Use q finely ground cement. The
finer the cement the greater covering
properties it possesses and the more
sane it can carry. An excess of &C.
ment is unnecessary, as a thin, even
coating is all that Is required.
Be sure to mix thoroughly. Many
faulty jobs are due to poor mixing.
Do not be afraid Of OVERRIDING it, as
longer mixing permits Of using less
cement

Sorghum makes very good silage.
Soy beans are a coming crop in the

The output of broom corn is about
S1,276, 900 annually.

Alfalfa fields and silos are land

Celery grown il fourfoot row may

Soil for soy beans should receive

At present prices for seed, the soy
bean is one of the most valuable farm
crops.
AS a money crop broom cor Is one
of the most satisfactory that can be
grown.
Rye makes a fair grade of silage
and should be cut when the seeds are
in the milk.
Cabbage, sugar beets, oats, clover,
and potatoes have been found a good
five year rotation.
Good milling wheat must be free
from all mustiness or bad odor and
should be sound and dry.
Few crops respond more promptly
to a thorough preparation of the soil
than winter grain and especially
wheat.

Nominated What Mas Left.

Senator John Sharp Williams Of
Mississippi, says his friend, Private
John Allen, formerly representing q
Mississippi district in congress, seems
perfectly satisfied to give his atten-
ton exclusively to his personal at
fairs around Tupelo, and has seem
ingly laid aside all political ambi-
ton.
HE mixes a little In local affairs
for the benefit of his friends" said
Senator Williams, land recently made
n Of the shortest and best nominal
ing speeches on record.
An old friend Of ours, a confeder-
ate veteran, who lost two legs and
one arm In battle, wanted a small
office, and asked Allen to nominate
him.
When the time came, Allen, with a
voice like a guitar, said: Gentlemen

nate all that's left Of my poor old
friend, John Smith Smith swept the

HOW TO MAKE A CHEAP WELL,
Wall Can Be Laid Five or Six Feet
High, Archins 1t at Top With
Large Stone for Covering.

1t is impossible to drive a pipe for
a well in some localities, and stones
are scare to lay a wall in a dug well.
writes j. H. Andr of Wisconsin in
the Farm and Home. In such cases
the wall can be laid 5 Or 6 feet high,
arching 1t at the top with large one
to Is or IS inches in diameter, and
cover 1t with a large fiat stone. a,
with a hole in the center to admit a
6-inch pipe. Place a stone, b, In the
bottom of the well IS inches in diam
eter and 4 inches thick. Concrete is
best. Make q concrete cone, C, 3 feet
long, 16 inches in diameter, at the
bottom, 3 inches thick and Of a size
to fit the bell end of an 8-inch sewer
pipe at the top. The large end Of he
cone will need openings in the side to
allow the water to enter freely when
pumping. Place the large end Of the
zone IN the stone.
The first length, d, of sewer pipe
can be 8 inches. When the pipe, e.
reaches above where the well is
stoned it can be reduced to s inches a
few lengths and then + to 4 inches.

WRETCHES FIGHT FOR FOOD
Starving and shiverina, They Beg in
Vain for Rellef-No Medical As
sistance for the Wounded, Who
Perish by Wayside.

Paris, Nov. 13.-Jean Rodes, a staff
correspondent Of the Temps, who has
reached Constantinople from the war
one, sends a vivid picture Of the mis-
cry of the Turkish soldiers and the
disorganization of the Turkish army.
I'VE have witnessed the failure OF
the Turk as a soldier" says Rodes
I'VE have seen him dying Of hun
ger, worn out by fatigue, wrecked by
suffering, and running away after hav.
ing abandoned his place In the COM
bat.
Il have v seen a more poignant
picture of human distress than that
presented by these unhappy men,
thrown into one of the most terrible
wars in history without food, without
medical attention, almost without
chiefs, almost without arms. At Seid-
Ter I saw a soldier whose right hand
had been severed hold out to us, beg

piece of twine.
II saw long lines Of famished men
who came to our tent begging for a
crumb of bread and staggering away
without a murmur of complaint when
told that we had none to give. l saw
a thousand wounded leaving a trail
of blood as they dragged themselves
toward Tchorlu. 1 saw hundreds of
others fall by the wayside dying from
wounds and fatigue.
Soldiers Fight for Food.

through the streets in a driving rain
and wind storm. No n paid any at

ter, nothing to eat. From a nearby
bakery an officer threw out handfuls
of bread and the soldiers fought for
the loaves. More than half Of them
got nothing, and turned away, ragged,
pallid, and weak.
"All the houses were closed. Prac-
tically all the population had fled. and
those who remained barricaded them
selves within, trembling with fear.
The soldiers knocked vainly at the
barred doors.
Groups shivering in the cold tried
the door Of stables to seek refuge:
even the stables remained inhospita-

ONE OF WORST WEED PESTS
Horse Nettie Ranks with Canada
Thistle and Quack Grass-One
Method for Eradication.

We are again in receipt of our old
friend, the orse nettle. This time 1t
is a central Iowa correspondent who
sends us the prickly-leafed, potato
b~lossoned weed, say Wallace's Far
mer. He says that In the locality
there is only one patch, and it is but
sixty feet square. He wishes to know
how to get rid of the weed.
AS all of our older readers know,
horse nettle ranks with Canada thistle
and quack grass as one of the worst
OF the weed pests. 1t is degenerate
relative of the potato and tomato,
which spreads not only by abundant
seeds, but by strong underground
rootstocks. The only way to deal

seyectino Proper Fertilizers.

Thousands of dollars are wasted in
commercial fertilizers every year, not
because the fertilizer is not all
right but because we do not know
whether the kind we use is the kind
our lane needs. 1t is a great study
and one that we must make for our
selves.
Make some simple experiment this
year. Put in a strip with fertilizer
you have been in the habit of using,
and just beside it another without it.
This will be worth a great deal more
to you than the opinion of some in
terested agents.

with such a pest is continually to pre-
vent the leaves from spreading them
selves out in the sunshine. Everything
considered, probably the best method
for our correspondent would be to
take a sharp hoe and go over the
patch every ten days, cutting off ev-

surface of the ground. This treat

small patch it probably is the saia1t
