BENEFITS OF DEEP FLOWING
Operation Necessary to Turn Up
Fresh Plant Food-should Be
Done in the Early Spring.

'By IN r. BLANCHARD. Assistant
Agronomist. United States Depart
ment of A~gricuIture.)
We cannot place too much stress
upon the importance Of deep blowing.
The few inches OF soil at the surface
have been skinned for SO long that
they are practically devoid OF plant
food In available form. For this rea-
son alone 1t becomes necessary to
turn up fresh soil. This will neces-
state cutting below that stratum Of
soil commonly known as the pillow
pan which has been formed by the
practice OF blowing year after year
at the same depth. In many localities
blowing at a depth OF eight to twelve
inches Is advisable. Unless green
manure crops are to be turned under,
this depth should be reached by a
gradual increase in depth for two or
three years. BY this gradual increase
In the depth the soil will become
properly mixed with the surface soil.
Deep blowing requires more power
than Is needed for the ordinary meth.
cd. and the first deep blowing Is more
difficult than subsequent plowings.
This Ia due largely to a more or less
packed condition of the subsoil. Deep
blowing should be done in the early
spring while there is still sufficient
moisture in the soil. 1t should not
be done while the soil is either too
wet or too dry. While the benefits
derived from deep blowing may not
be so evident the first season. the re-
suits obtained are of permanent char
acter. The subsoil is benefited by
direct contact with the air and other
climatic influences, and the effects of
deep blowing will be more noticeable
the secon and succeeding years.

Evidence Put In Too Late.

A prisoner was being tried in an
English court for murder; evidence
against him purely circumstantial
part of it a hat found near the scene
or the crime-an ordinary, round
black hat, but sworn to as the pris-
oner's. Counsel for the defense, OF
course, made much of the commences
OF the hat. You, gentlemen, no doubt
each of you possess such a hat, of
the most ordinary make and shape.
Beware how you condemn a fellow
to a shameful death on such
a piece of evidence" and so on. So
the man was acquitted. Just as he
was leaving the dock, with the most
touching humility and simplicity, he
said: IF you please, my lord, may |
ave my 'at?"

DRY FARMING IN A NUTSHELL
Kansas Farmer Raises One Crop With
Rainfall of Two Season-Har-
row After Each Rain.

My system of dry farming is to
raise one crop with the rainfall of two
seasons. l have 80 acres under cul-
tivation. l divide these into two 40
acre tracts. | put a crop on one tract
in 1912 and the other | disk up the
same spring, after a rain and harrow
writes ]. Neugbauer in the Farmers
Mail and Breeze. AS soon as time
permits l pillow this second tract as
deep as possible and harrow after
each rain to keep the weeds from
growing through the summer, and if
narrowing will not keep them down,
the ground Is don5le-disked. The har-
rowing and disking will keep a shall
low mulch on the surface that will
hold all the moisture in the soil that
falls in 1912.
In the spring of 1913 you will have
from Is inches to four feet Of wet
ground under the mulch on which to
grow a crop. plant 20 acres Of this
to small grain and the remainder to
corn and potatoes. harrow the
small grains after every rain until
they are too big; then l take a cult
vator with foul small shovels on a
side and cultivate shallow, so as to
keep a three-inch loose mulch on top.
Try this method and you will be
surprised to see the crops you will
raise on this second 40-acre tract. If
0 don't wish to experiment with as
much as 40 acres, try 10 or 20 acres.
In this way we can raise good crops
in spite Of dry spells, and If lone
right it will mean fewer acres to
farm and at the same time better
crops.

Missing the Point.

Representative Rucker of Colorado,

sugar, said to a Washington CORES

~lnoHensive Creatures Most UnJustiy
Charged With Sudden Attack
Of 6Ioodthirstiness.

A man who was caught In the act
OF skinning a neighbours sheep. Gov
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live.
The logic OF this ia equaled by that
of the Yankee soldier who once had a
narrow escape from an enraged gan
der. The men of a certain Maine regi-
ment, which was in the enemy's coun-
try In 1862, considered the order mo
foraging" an additional and uncalled-
for hardship. One afternoon about
dusk, a soldier was seen beating a
rapid retreat from the real of a farm
house near by. closely pursued by a
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
succession of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
of the gander's owner: Hold on.
man, hold on. He won't hurt you!"
Call off your gander! Call him off,"
shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside
the camplines, when the soldiers
friends relieved him of his fierce pur-
suer with the aid Of the butt of a
musket. Did that gander think he
could chase me like that and live!"
the soldier exclaimed. as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said
nothing of the baited hook, with cod
line attached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortunate gan
der's strange actions.

A mans dairy herd will be jus,
what his ideas of a dairy herd are.
Every instant hat milk stands in
the stable it gathers contamination.
Good butter always brings good
prices. and there is no excuse for
producing any other kind.
Milk should never be exposed to
foul air in the COW stable or in dirty
tanks before it is delivered to the
creamery.
Grain feeds are more digestible
when ground than when fed whole.
Hence the cows will make better use
of ground grain
One job that will pay for itself in
n season is the putting up Of a
handy. convenient milk house before
spring work crowds.
A silage Is a great milk-making
food. and fortunate is the farmer with
W who a give them a light feed
of silage twice a day.
1t is almost impossible to restore
the flow Of milk Il the original
amount after it is once allowed to
run down for lack of feed.
1t is as impossible to estimate the
productiveness and value of a cow as
it is to guess the exact number of
bushels of corr a certain field will
yield.
A good COW will make more money
than any other farm animal. and the
money so realized does the farmer
more good than that realized from
any other animal.
No matter. what the changes in
temperature in the atmosphere may
the temperature of cream for
churning must be kept about the
winter and summer.
A %1.O00-pound dairy COW requires
seven-tenths pound of digestible pro-
tefn. seven pounds of ~digestible car,
and one-tenth pound OF
fat for maintenance.
