Is it the lack of more and HEAVIER

it will not pay them to pillow deep?
Is it because some of our friends
have plowed deep in the spring and
have failed to make it pay? Is it
because it is human nature to do
those things which we know are
wrong? Is it our old. old way that

reason that we are not able to buy

1t requires ten inches of water to

Below / shall point out some of the
advantages of deep and thorough
preparation.
The most efficient means of assist
ing nature i'm the conversion of I'M
available food into forces that plants
can use is good tillage of the soil.
Tillage. in the sense in which it is
used here, signifies any operation of
stirring and %pulvering the soil by
means of plows. harrows. cultivators
or any other Implements. II a SUBJ

tillage is that the soil is made finer.
the large Jumps being broken up
into smaller particles, and in this
way natures work in the formation
of soil is fastened Pulverization
OF the earth is beneficial in many
ways, In the first place, looSening
the soil makes iteasier for the plant
roots and root-hairs to penetrate it.
All soils are composed of grains OF
greater or less dimensions separated
by air spaces. Tie tender root-hairs
must push their way in between
these soil-grains, as it is impossible for
them to penetrate the soil particles
themselves. It mnst be evident
that the more the soil is pulverized
the larger the number of openings
between grains, and consequently,
the greater room for root growth.
The plant is dependnt upon the
root-hairs for its supply of mineral
food and, as these hairs grow only
between and around these soil grains
it is apparent that they can feed it
only on the surface of these particles.
Good tillage increases the amount of
surface exposed to the roots by
breaking up the larger humps into
smaller grains and the more COM
blete the pulverization the larger
the area from which the plant can
obtain its food.
Tillage hastens chemical changes
in the soil. By tillage we bring to-
gether particles which have not be-
fore come into contact. In this way
chemical changes take place that
render those locked up" plant foods
available, for substances having
{ different chemical properties are
thus enabled to act upon each other.
The changes brought about by freez-

This can done by the use of the

CLUB CAFE s CANDY KITCHEN.


During it's history of twelve years
the Club Cafe and Candy Kitchen of

here that individuals or parties find
in the way of prompt and excellent

are looking for when tired, hungry
and looking for a neat, attractive,
quiet and comfortable place. The
Candy Kitchen makes all of it's can
dies and puts them up in boxes at
reasonable prices. During the past
year it has doubled it's floor space ana
made the quarters more modern and
convenient. 1t has added a very at
tractive line of Christmas toys all of
which are imported. This place fills

soil. The oxygen of the air has a.
direct chemical action upon the
mineral matter of the soil in that it
tends to make the latter soluble.
Iillage Aids N trification.
Most of the. nitrogen of the soil is
locked up in unsoluble organic COM
pounds. and before it can be used dy
the plants it must be converted in
to the form of nitrates. This process
takes place only in a soil well sup
blied with oxygen. and experience
has proven that this process is very
materially fastened by frequent cul-
tivation. The bacteria which enable
legumes peas, ~clovers. etc to use
free nitrogen are also dependent up
on the air in the soil, for not only
do they need oxygen, but expert
ments have shown that it is only
from the air in the soil that they
can draw their supply of nitrogen:
Deep, thorough preparation not
only increases the amount of surface
on which the plants can feed, but
at the same time enlarges the water
supply by giving The soil greater
capacity for holdig moisture: Each
soi-germ is surrounded by afilm Of
water which is called the capillary
water or film moisture. The plant
is dependent upon this film moisture
for its supply, and it is readily seen
that the amount of the capillary
waters that the soil can retain de-
J ponds upon the depth and thorough
ness of the surface area which you
have prepared. If an acre of grt I'm
is so titled or pulverized as to re-
duce the average diameter of the
soil particles to one tenth the origin,
al diameter, the plant now has ten
acres from which to draw its supply
of Water and mineral food for each
acre it had before; and the soil is
enabled to hold as film moisture
ten times as much water as it comes
in the first instance. Thousands oi
acres of corn is handicapped al
certain dry periods of the summer
for the lack of a sufficlen'
amount of water.

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard OF ghosts. but none
of us have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands of
drug-habit cases, including opium, NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that
they have never seen a case where the
use of Coca-Cola has so fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute a
habit in the true sense of the word. Al
though millions Of glasses of Coca-Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola
fiends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits,
The Coca Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit.
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see it advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get it and contentedly
do without it when they can't get it.
If you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of real drug fiend when deprived Of
his drug, if you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be so unfair as, to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit-forming'' drugs.-Adv.

New York.-When polo was first
played in England in 1863 1t was
styled hockey on horseback" Yet
hockey itself was one of the numer-
Gus games with stick and ball de-
rived from the common ancestor, polo.
They called 1t "chaugan" in the days
when the sport was popular with the
Persians. AS far back as the sixth
century B. G. this sport of the Per-
sian aristocracy was in a flourishing
condition. The ancient Persian poets
sang it's praises even as do the sport
ing writer's today. The game was
played by Persian women, too. In the
British museum there is an old paint
ing of several Persian ladies playing
game of polo. The painting shows
that the Persiens bandaged the legs
sof their mounts exactly as the polo
ponies are bandaged today.
The Mohammedans, when they con
quered Persia, learned the game OF
''chaugan," and liked it so much that
they took it up for one OF their own
sports.
The game travelled from Persia to
Tartary, and then to India via Afghan
istan. Japan and China, too. had
games bearing a close resemblance
to it, In fact, throughout the entire
east polo was the principal game. 1t

SO that the teams lined up as they do

in England, and, in 1880, the Hurting
ham club, now the representative polo
club in England, was formed.
Polo was introduced into the United
States in 1876. 1t was first played
at Dickler's riding academy. Two
