PLAN FOR SAVING RAINFALL
Plow the Field as Soon as Crop Has
Been Harvested and Follow This
Up With Drag.

Moisture conservation is not a sure
cure for crop failure. Every farmer,
though, knows what three or four
inches OF additional rain during a dry
season will do, and when 1t is realized
that 1t is possible and feasible to con.
serve moisture to that extent 1t begins
to look as though the saving OF mois.
ture from one year to another would
help some In case OF short rainfall.
Three or four inches OF rain carried
over from one season to the next
means three or four hundred tons OF
water an acre In the subsoil-water
enough to carry growing crop
through any ordinary dry weather. 1t
Is possible to carry even more than
this from one year to another, says
A. II Leidlgh, assistant professor OF
crops at the Kansas agricultural COL
lege. How can the rainfall be saved?
Plow the field as soon as the crop has
been harvested. II 1t Is spring or sum-
mer. follow the plow with a drag.
The rains will soak into the soil In
stead OF running of the surface or
evaporating. Fall plowing should not
be dragged, as there is danger OF the
soil either packing or becoming dry
and blowing. The extra expense Of
following such plan ought not to
cost more than dollar an acre at
most. Many places It could be done
at much smaller cost It pays big
interest on the investment even at the
higher figure.

ADVANTAGE OF DEEP TILLAGE
Drouth Of 1911 Stirred Up Interest
Among Farmers on Problem Of
Moisture Conservation.

The great drouth Of 1911 caused a
crop shrinkage OF hundreds Of mil.
lions of bushels. But 1t wrought a
benefit that cannot be calculated. 1t
stirred up an interest in deep tilllng.
and the conservation OF moisture that
will spread until every farmer knows
how to protect his crops against the
dryest season. You hear deep tillage
discussed at the farming congresses,
says the Farm, Stock and Home. You
read about 1t in every leading farm
paper. 1t Is the talk at the Institutes
and oranges. It will not be many years
nutil We are getting out Of our poor
soil all that 1t is capable OF producing
and that, too. without soil mining
or soil robbing. *,
The introduction Of deep tillage
tools Is another reason for the wide.
spread determination to go deeper
into the soil. at this time. Heretofore
1t has been exceedingly difficult for
the farmer to till as deeply as recon-
mended with the ordinary plows at his
command. But such tools have proved
that they not only till soil deeply but
that they make pulverized seed bed
all In one operation. The seed bed
prepared by such tools Is thus an am.
pie reservoir to hold the early spring
rains. 1t will absorb three times as
much moisture as shallow titled
field. The farther down the moisture
goes the less the evaporation. The
farther down the soil Is pulverized the
roots will go, thus getting all the
drink they need even when no rain
falls. We have plenty OF moisture
now. Heavy rains everywhere. We
Will have oceans Of water all winter
and next spring. 1t may make thought
less people tired to think about water
now-but the long-headed farmer
knows that he will need water Just as
much next July and August as he did
In l9ll-and he will prepare to
save It.

OF hollow tile described above.
All sides OF the building are Of No.

there Is door, swinging outward,
and placed as near the center as pos.
sible, thus making 1t handy to either
window, nests or roosts.
The partition between the two pens
Is OF matched lumber for the first
three feet from the aoor, and OF mus.
lin thence to the ceiling. For five
feet from the north wall around the
broody coop 1t is tightly boarded, to
protect the fowls against any possible
draught while roosting.
The partition door is hung in the
middle, on double-actlng hinges, and
swings either way.
The dropping boards, roosts and
broody coops are located on the north
side. They are surrounded by double
walls to guard against draughts.
The nests are built In sections OF
six. The bottoms are OF one.Inch

TESTING FOR
ACID In SOIL
Practical Method Recently Demon.
strated by Member OF New
Jersey Experiment
Station.

Those who use lime have found
Iitmus paper useful in determining
whether the soil is acid or sour. and,
therefore, in need OF lime, says the
Farmer, But there Is often some un.
certainty as TO the result, because
when used In the usual manner Of
placing the paper In sample OF soil
and pressing the soil particles
against 1t, the paper would often be
so much stained by the soil that II
would be difficult to tell whether Il
had turned red or not.
At recent farmers institute Mr.
Blair, Of the New Jersey experiment
station. showed better method. A
piece of blue litmus paper was placed
In the bottom Of glass, then GOV.
cred with white filter paper. The soil
to be tested was placed above this
and a small quantity of pure water
poured over II. The soil used in this
case was known to be acid or sour
and the water carried a portion OF the
acid through the filter paper and turn.
ed the litmus paper red, as could eas.
lily be seen through the bottom of tho
glass vessel. The filter paper kept
the soil from coming in direct con.
tact with the lltmus paper, and there
was no staining. Soil not sorr. and,
therefore, not in need OF lime. treated
the same way does not turn the blue
paper from its original color. Both

secured for few cents at drug stores,

FARM VILLAGE
Is SUGGESTED
There Ia Nothing Impractical In
Plan and II May be Easily
Accornplishcd-Be
Conditions.
(By s. c. MILLER.) }


Isolation, lack OF society and utter
loneliness, the three great causes OF
dissatisfaction with farm life present
n not very difficult problem-if 1t is
really problem at all 1t Is rather
serious and very unpleasant condition
which can only be relieved in one way
in getting together, The only cure
for loneliness is company. AS long as
farm houses are widely separated as
they now are farm folk will continue
to be lonely and suffer all the distress
OF isolation. The telephone has helped
some. Relatives and neighbors can
hear each others voices at all times
and In all weather even II they can.
not see each others faces. 1t iacill.
'ates the transaction OF business
between farms and the market places /;
but In this respect 1t may be ques.
toned whether II does not in way
add to the isolation Of farm life be-
cause It does away with the necessity
OF personal meetings and this per-
vents that friendly Intercourse be-
tween neighbors and merchants so
necessary to relieve monotony and
which tends toward contentment.
So, that even giving the telephone
and trolley and even the automobile
all the credit that Is due these factors
OF social HE they do not begin to cure
the condition.
II has been suggested that the farm.
ers OF the future will live In villages
or camps and 60 to their outlying
farms in the morning, returning only
at night after the days work is done.
There is nothing Improbable in this
plan but on the contrary 1t may be
easily accomplished.
section of land generally contains
from four to ten families whose homes
are placed as far apart rs possible.
By bringing all the houses Of the fam.
flies to one common center the neu.
cleus OF village would be formed
which might later include the families
OF adjoining sections and form a
compact village OF from fifteen to
thirty families.
II the village was located in the
center OF farm sections no individual
would have to travel more than a
mile to reach the most distant farm,
and this journey twice daily would cut
small figure compared TO the advan.
tage Of social life In the village.
Among the advantages OF farm.
villages iife as compared to the pres.
ent system OF isolation II may be sug.
gested the economy OF labor on the
partial or complete cooperation OF
farm work; the obliteraton OF the
line fence, the barrier that has go
long stood between harmonious rela,
tionshlp between nelghbors and even
provoked internal and deadly feuds; a
central heating system, effective
drainage and sanitation, the beautl'
flying Of home surroundings and all
the manifold comforts Of life possible

These bright days make work in the

These bright days make work In the
poultry yard real pleasure.
Plucking OF the fowls begins imme-
diately after killing and should be
rapidly done.
The success Of turkey raising de.

Geese fattened wholly on pasture or
with the addition Of little corn make
a tender. juicy article Of flesh not to
be equaled.
Chickens will not scratch when
they are overfed nor when there is no
feed In the litter. The Idea is to keep
them scratching.
The successful feeding Of poultry
depends largely on the ability OF the
feeder to notice the condition Of the
chickens on feed.
The material from which eggshells
are made Is carbonate OF lime, and
there are many forms In which this

way these can be gained Is through
proper care and feed.
Hens that are not laying these days
can be coaxed sometimes by feeding
them a small amount Of cut bone or
fresh meat In some form.
A shed Of poles covered with straw
and open to the south will winter the
geese nicely II provided with clean,
