SUCCEEDING ON THE FARM.
]. G. Ullery Carries Good News from
New England.

New York, March la. G. Ullery
of Bratteboro, VT, is at the Wolcott

Ullery was the publisher and editor OF
the New England Farmer. But no long

discovered he says, that to run mag
azine successfully nowadays requires a
capital of $1,000, 900, and he sold out.
But he has lately been making trip
through New England
The New England farmers said Mr..
Ullery Tuesday. "are making better
progress to-day than they have for the
last thirty years. They are studying
things They are taking interest. They
have been sending their boys to agricul-
tural colleges, and the lads have been
coming home with new ideas and new
methods about making the old farm
pay.
2 ut is not going to be many years"
prophesied Mr. Ullery, "hefore New Eng
land and the whole eastern part of this
country are going to do farming on
business basis. The youngsters have
learned all about the selection of seed
and the needs of the soil. When they
see that corn won't grow in a certain
field they send some of the soil to one
Of the state experimental stations and
have it analyz>d and find out just what
it lacks.
"Why, the farmers in the northeastern
part OF the country are N tae midst
of 25000000 population and they arr
that they can supply some
of the needs of the immense market
that number of people furnishes. In the
last two or three years, there has been
a tremendous increase in the corn crop

METHOD OF SAVING MOISTURE
Much Can Be Cleaned From Farmers
Who Raloo Profitable Crops
With Small Rainfall.

There Is much that can be learned
from the methods Of the dry land
farmers who raise profitable grain
crops in regions with less than 1S
inches OF rainfall If the practices
which they follow to conserve the
moisture for crops were followed
more closely by farmers everywhere
bigger and better crops could be
grown.
The land Is plowed deep to get a
good bed Of mellow soil which will
hold the moisture. II Is then packed
to make It firm. which holds the
moisture. and the surface is narrowed
within a few hours to let the air into
the top soil and form a surface mulch
of dry soil which prevents the mois.
ture from below going up into the afr.
The thoroughness with which these
operations are done determine large
ly the size of the crop. On most
farms east Of the semi-airid region
the roller may take the place Of the
sub-surface packer II It is used with
discretion.
The roller is particularly valuable
to use after pillow in late summer
and early fall when the ground is
dry. 1t should be well Weighted and
follow the pillow closely. But used
when the ground is wet It will do
more harm than good.
Go over the ground after the roller

smoothing harrow and harrow again
after each rain before the seed is
sown. II the ground is plowed eight
to ten inches deep and we'll pulverized
the moisture will work up from the
subsoil, but the surface mulch will
keep It from evaporating and a fine,
moist seeded will result.
Soil moisture moves quickly up
and down but slowly sideways. It
quickly evaporates If there Is nothing
IN top to prevent 1t. If the surface
is stirred frequently It breaks up the
myrlads of tubes through which the
moisture rises from below and goes
of into the air.
The dry land farmers find that #
pays them to harrow their grain in the
spring, not only to destroy the weeds,
but to establish a new soil mulch.
Other farmers would find even great
er profit in using the harrow or Guilt
vator In their orchards and cultivated
crops after each rain all through the
season.

QUALITIES OF HONEY LOCUST
Drought Resisting Tree May Well Be
Grown on Most Farms IN the
Northwestern States.

The honey locust is a most beautiful
tree and n that might well be grown
to some extent upon most farms. It
belongs to the legume family or pod
producers and has a beautiful com
pound leaf. It grows very large and
has sharp thorns on both the branches
and trunk of the tree, says a writer in
the Dakota Farmer. When closely set
in the form of a hedge, It makes a
most formidable barrier against any
kind Of stock. The Colorado station
in a recent bulletin recommends the
honey locust as the most drought re-
sistant of any species Of deciduous
trees. When this Is taken into con
sideration, it will be seen that this
tree deserves a much larger use in the
northwest. 1t does not sucker as
does its closely related species, the
black or yellow locust, and is not
nearly as subject to the attack Of the
locust borer. The writer has IN mind
a specimen of the honey locust in Jer-
auld county, South Dakota, which is
one Of the handsomest trees he has
ever seen in the DakotRs. It is about
twenty-five feet high, very spreading.
and has proven a rapid grower. North
western nurserymen highly recon-
mend this tree and offer seedlings and
young trees at low prices and the Da-
kota Farmer would urge a larger trial
of this beautiful tree in its territory,
