A Few Tile Will Reclaim That Idle

Many farmers have been COMPELLED

In some cases the wet places make it
necessary to cultivate the land in ir-
regular tracts. Il method that is very
unsatisfactory. Some farmers pillow
through the wet spots in preference to
turning in the field. Where this is
done the soil turns up slick and bakes
hard. Such areas will not produce
profitable crops.
II. Il. Walker. drainage engineer at
the Kansas Agricultural college, urges
the thing Of these wet spots. The land
would be valuable if it were not wet.

Iuired to drain an acre if the tile are
placed in lines 100 feet apart. All tile
should have ut least two feet Of dirt
on top. and an average depth Of three
feet usually is best.
AS replanting is expensive and small.
irregular fields cannot be cultivated
economically and as wet areas on
farms mean discounts on the values of
the farms. tile drainage is an invest
ment that will pay for itself in a short

In choosing il fertilizer it is we'll to

In choosing Il fertilizer. therefore, the
farmer should try to make up for the
deficiencies in his soil. Middle west

ing in available phoSploric acid. So
great is this deficiency becoming that
our corn crop is showing increased I'M

In order to choose d; fertilizer to suit
the kind of crops he is growing the
farmer should have i'll mind the yencr-
nj needs of the crops. which are as fol-
lows:
Hay crops require a large amount of
nitrogen. Il small amount of phosphor-

Grain crops require a medium AMOUNT

chant. received from his daugh-
~ ter. who was at the time in
Paris, a letter asking him to
send all the photographs of her moth
er. some years dead, to her since she
had found an artist who could paint
IA portrait from them giving the de-
sired lifelike expression. Miss Atwood
furthermore suggested that he come
over and attend to the matter himself.
The artist she referred to was a rising
man in his profession and would prob
ably require a good price for doing the
work.
Mr.. Atwood, gathering the pictures
in his possession, sailed for Europe
and one day turned up in Paris. He
was at onc taken to the studio of
Clarence Whiting, the artist, who was
to paint the portrait. Mr.. Whiting
looked over the photographs carefully,
asked which was regarded as the best
likeness of the original and remarked:
1--WE portrait painters see resem-
blances more readily than other per-
sons. To me Miss Atwood IS very like
her mother. But I cannot tell whether
the varied expressions of her face are
like her mothers, for Il photograph has
but one expression. and that is apt to
be unlike anything ever found on the
face Of the original. Unfortunately l
have ncver seen Mrs. Atwood. l will
undertake to paint the portrait from
the photograph you like best, %enliven-
ing it with Miss Atwood's most pleas
ing expressions. In other words. / will
make up the portrait from both mother
more likely to fail than succeed, but if
l succeed the result will be gratifying
to you as we'll as to me-"
Mr.. Atwood was favorably impressed
with this and asked the sun that
would be charged for the work when
since he would be unable himself to
Judge Of his work. he would make no
| price until he learned if the father and
daughter pronounced it a success.
The matter being disposed of, the art
list took the photograph of his subject
most approved of by the others. and it
was arranged that Miss Atwood should
give him regular sittings.
Miss Atwood ut amy sudden an
nOunrement that surprised. interested
or pleased her had Il way of throwing
back her head and looking fiXedly IT

This is Il very lame description of it
but an expression is in~deScribable. Mr.

and, not finding it. concluded there
were many chances in favor of its hav-

He determined to paint the portrait,
