The result OF DR. Hopkins work is
shown in the crop statistics OF the
State The last ten year average yield
OF corn is six bushels higher than for
the twenty-five wear period preceding
Wheat shows an average increase o;
three bushels per acre This means

SAVE THE RAIN-$l AN ACRE.
Pillow After Harvest and Follow With
Drag to Store Water.

Some men fiirt with the weather
and then wonder why they aren't
more of a success on the farm. il
they would save the extra rainfall. 4
large quantity of water would be
stored in the subsoi for immediate
use in case of dry weather.
Three or four inches of rain car

water an acre i'll the subsoil-water
enough to carry growing crop
through any ordinary weather. 1t is
possible to carry even more than this

How can the rainfall be saved
Plow the field as soon as the crop
has been harvested If il is spring or
summer follow the pillow with drag
The rains will sink into the soil in
stead of running off the surface or
evaporating Fall blowing 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 a dollar an acre at most Many
places it could be done at much
smaller cost. 1t pays big interest on
the investment. even at the highest
figure While moisture conservation
doesn't spell sure cure for crop fail

MORTALITY IN BABY CHICKS.
Often Attributed to Parents When the
Fault Lies Elsewhere.

The large mortality in baby chicks
is very often attributed to the parent
stock when the fault is really not in
hcrent In an effort to ascertain the
real cause for this condition make a
test.
Remove carefully all traces of food
from the Drooders. leaving none what
ever near them. Take some of the
chicks that have the care OF the moth
er hen and place them in the broodcr
over night. Continue this for several
nights in succession. being sure to
return them to the care of their moth
or each morning. Each morning note
the condition of these little fellows,
and il they are not injured or are none
the worse for their experience in the
brooder you will know that the temper
AZURE in the brooder is about right and
the fault does not lie in that direction.
With the brooder eliminated as a
possible cause for the mortality, you
must begin to look elsewhere This
narrows itself down to one or two
causes-improper feeding or lack of
exercise Now test for food cause
Change your conditions of feeding
radically and note the result If the
cause is not from feeding, it must
be from lack of exercise Correct
this by supplying them with proper
amount of this requisite.
Simply finding your chicks dead in
the brooder in the morning when they
are all crowded in corner is not
sufficient proof that they died from
too low a temperature. Sick, weakly
and indisposed chicks will always hud-
die together whether they are cold or
not.
They will not huddle together, how
ever. should the temperature be ex
cessively high, in which event they
will spread apart. and when found
dead will usually be lying on their
breasts This condition. however, is
seldom noted. as il takes a very high
temperature 10 cause them to spread
apart and to cause their death.

How to Fool the Cabbage Worm.

For several years | have raised cab
bages and found it advantageous,
after setting out the plant to drop a
little salt on the heart of the cabbage,
says writer in Fruit Grower. When
the salt is dissolved by rain or some
other agent it should be renewed and

from cabbage worms is past. A cab

will enable them to keep pretty close
