Silence Is Golden.

II is to be regretted that among the
dozen and one unnecessary things
which the modern girl is taught, some
deep-thinking person has not added
to the list that most necessary thing
for a girl to learn, the art OF silence.
Silence is a tremendous power In
this day of talkative women. Besides
it is infinitely nicer to have some
depth which every passing acquaint-
ance has not sounded. The girl who
confdes to you the story OF her past
fiirtations and the secret hope her
heart is set upon the second day Of
your acquaintance viii soon bore you,
If she does not actually disgust you.
There is no subject in the world
that cannot be discussed with pro
priety with the right persons and un-
der the right conditions. But few
girls seem to possess the eye of dis
elimination for these two facts. On
the contrary, they frequently seem
rather to pride themselves on discus
sing the wrong subject with the
wrong person.

INSECTS PROVE

Magnitude.
By f. NJ. wEBsTER.)

There are insects whose methods OF
attack are so obscure and covert that
they are not usually discovered at all
by the ordinary farmer, who simply
knows at the end OF the year that
his crops have not done well and the
year has been an Improbable one for
him.
Perhaps some of the wheat straw
worms have attacked his wheat and
the result has only shown In the shriv-
eled condition and light weights Of the
kernels. with no apparent connection
between the two.
His corn has not grown well, the
ears are short and not well filled out
at the tips. precisely as II his land
was lacking in fertility or drought
had prevailed, and he may lay the loss

TlLLAGE DRY FARM SECRET
Must Be Good as to Time as Well as
to Amount and ouaIlty-keeps
Moisture In Soil.

Dry farming was the term originally
used to describe the methods OF farm
ers In generally irrigated country who
cultivated land above the level OF the
irrigating ditch, OF In nonirrigated
sections where the annual rainfall
was less than twenty inches.
II has been shown by actual expert
ment that twelve inches OF effective
rainfall during the growing season OF
wheat planted in soil In good condi-
tion as to moisture should produce a
yield of forty bushels to the acre, and
that. on the same basis, a twenty-five
bushel yield might be expected from
a rainfall OF rs inches. In most of
the arid and semi-arid sections OF the
country the annual rainfall is in ex-
cess of ten inches. The work OF the
dry farmer is to cultivate so as to re-
tain this moisture in the soil for the
Use of his crops.
Don't call II dry farming; speak
of II as good farming" said Prof. II.
w. Campbell, in an address before a
dry farming congress at Minot. S. d..
The professor, who is sometimes
styled the father of the dry farming
method" went on to say that he was
no longer much concerned about COM
batting lack of moisture, but was try
ing to spread the gospel of good till
age and of bending every effort to-
ward increasing the yield.
Dry farming, in the technical sense
in which 1t has been used of late
years, is impossible without good TIL
age. Good tillage-and that means
good as to time as well as amount and
quality--is the whole secret OF dry
farming The system has, however
produced crops in Utah and portions
of Colorado and Wyoming where SC
little rain falls that the drops of q
season can almost be counted.
Dry farming saves the drops. It pre-
serves them from the thirst of blaz
ing sun by cultivating dust blanket
over the soil which they have moist
ened to the extent of their capacity.
The directions are: Plow about the
middle of June. Plow six or sever
inches deep; some say twelve to four
teen, but this is determined by th'
character Of the soil. This allows wha
rainfall there may be to penetrate tC
the subsoil. Subsequent and frequen
cultivation causes the formation OF
dust blanket" which prevents surface
evaporation. Crops derive their nour
ishment from the moisture in the sub
soil. The latter serves the dry farme
the same purposes that the reservoir
serves the irrigation farmer.
AS an example of crops grown unde
dry farming methods. there are rec
ords for 1909 OF 1872 bushels OF 4
pound oats grown on land cultivate
and stored with such moisture as wa
available, and in the succeeding yeal
when there was no rainfall after Jul
27, the yield on the same land was 5
bushels OF oats per acre. weighting 3
pounds per bushel.

PROFIT MADE
in SUNFLOWERS
Seed Is Used Mainly for Poultry
Feed PLANT May be Grown
on ANY Corn
Land.

Sunfiower seed Is used mainly for
birds and poultry as feed. It Is a
native OF Kansas and the far western
country.
Sunfowers can be grown In any
good corn land. but It takes the nitro
gen out of the soil in great quantities
and therefore the crop should not be
repeated on the same soil.
Plant with a drill or corn planter
rs you would corn in rows about az
feet apart. The seeds should be three
or four inches apart in drills and
thinned later on to about Is inches.
II requires from six to IL pounds
of seed per acre and 1t should be
planted a little shallower than corn.
The cultivation must be very shallow
so as not to disturb the roots. After
the plants are in bloom pinch OF all
but three or four heads. Harvest be-
fore the seeds are fully ripe as they
begin to shatter early and II is also
difficult to protect them from the
birds which fall upon them In great
| focks.
1t is not easy TO harvest the sun
flower as they shatter so easily.
Sometimes they are threshed by
running them through an ordinary
separator while some farmers con-
struct a wooden wheel hanging on
supports like a grind-stone. On the
sides of the wheel nails are driven
quite thicliy and as the wheel turns
round the heads of the sunfiowers are
held against them and the seeds are
thus removed.
The seeds must be thoroughly dry
before being stored. They can be
saved in sacks or small bins and must
be kept perfectly dry or they VIII
quickly spoil.
An acre of good land will produce
about 1000 TO 1900 pounds of seed.
II ground and mixed with other
grains It adds to the palatability and
flavor Of other stock foods.
The large seeded variety is best for
poultry and stock while the small
seeded varieties are used more for the
oil. This oil is sometimes used for
the table and also for candle making.
Manufacturers OF poultry and stock
feeds are the buyers.

One Feeders Method.

A very successful feeder last year
bought his sheep early In September,
turned them into clover. rape and
grain fields for week. Then he
gradually worked them into stand
ing field Of corn. Between this and
the meadows the sheep got into a
fine condition of flesh by the middle
OF November.
The sheep before this time were
gradually accustomed TO clover hay
and finished on corn and barley. The
bulk of the feed was gathered by
the sheep themselves. thus reducing
the cost of harvesting. The more ex-
pensive feed used in finishing was re-
quired for only short time.

Feed for EattenIna Sheep.

Clear corn is far from being the
best feed for fattening sheep, espe-
cially fattening lambs. A little wheat
in some form, even II damaged bad
ly, will help greatly.
A little bran or shorts, or oats, will
to an extent take the place of wheat,
and good wheat screenings are still
better. Sheep should he gotten onto
a corn diet very slowly. and If lambs,
should never be fed corn exclusively.

enough for the most strict state In
spection.
On the same farm there are many
small sidewalks. They are narrow
and require little material and very
llttle work. The picture shows the
forms that are needed and all the tools
required for the making of such work.
When spring-time with it's heavy rains
comes, these walks pay for them
selves many times over. There Is no
reason why the farm should not be
equipped with as good sidewalks as Is
the average city house, when a little
outlay for cement and odd times may
be utilized for making permanent
walks like this.
Many different kinds Of tanks can
be used on the farm.

whereas 1t was the corn root worm

His timothy meadow has died out.
and he does not know why 1t should
have done so, when had he looked
carefully about the roots he would
have found the short winged form OF

lads.
Such losses as these are not con-
sidered at all and do not enter into
consideration, either by the farmer or
statistician, unless they are OF such
magnitude as to devastate large areas
Of country.
Here we have financial loss, fall-
ing upon single industry nearly
three times as great as that caused
by fire, and to ask If such factor
should be reckoned upon and care
fully considered by those engaged In
that industry appears almost ridicu-
lous.
It would seem to go without saying
that such elements should not only
receive most careful consideration. bue
every effort should be made by farm
ers to familiarize themselves with the
minutest details In order to by every
possible means protecs themselves
against loss.
