Second: Cultivating corn or other
cultivated crops. At a farmers insti-
tute held at Almena, Kansas, in
February farmer gave his expert
ence in cultiyating corn. When plow-
ing field of corn, he would cultivate
every other row clear across the field
In this way, he would actually stir
up at least two-thirds of the surface
and he could set the outside shovels
of the cultivator so as to throw loose
soil over the remainder and he could
cover the field in just one-half the
time that it takes to cultivate every
row. After few days he would
cultivate the field again, blowing
those rows over which he had thrown
loose soil the time before. This
method of cultivation finds especially
useful just after rain because it is
necessary to cultivate the ground
quickly in order to conserve the
moisture and keep the soil from pack
ing.
Third: Use of the one horse or IL
tooth cultivator in handling cultfvat-
ed crops. Many careful farmers Of
ten get increased yields of corn or
other cultivated crops by using the
the one-horse cultivators after the
crop is too large to cultivate with
the two or four horse power machines.
The cultivation with the one-horse
machines is done usually just after
rain and only deep enough to stir the
surface well AMI prevent the ground
from baking.
Fourth: Contour Farming" d. j.
Rumble of Almena, Kan, has been
quite successful with contour farm
ing," that is farming on a level
around a slope rather that up hill
and down hill as many men do. The
usual practice is to list the ground,
keeping the furrows as nearly level as
possible. In this way, the burrows
catch and hold the water until it is
absorbed, thus preventing useless
run off.
Fifth: A device for breaking the
crust in listed burrows was made by
splitting logs and attaching the
halves Convex side DOWN to feet
feet or 2 feet feet long enough
to take three or four rows. These
piCCCS Vi lOSS dI0 ldSIcl0O 10 GIlc q h
feet by using a short chain or piece
of wire Some heavy spikes are then
driven in on the convex sides, leaving
two or three inches sof the spikes
projecting to scratch the surface of
the furrow and break up the crust.
1t is said that where there is not too
much trash on the field, this device
will do very good work.
Sixth: A few practices quite sue
cessful in different localities: Early
disking, followed by an occasional
narrowing in preparing ground for
listed crops; Early spring listing and
splitting the ridges at the time of
planting; Listing shallow early in the
spring then listing deeper in the
same burrows at the time of planting;
Fall listing and splitting the ridges
in the ridges in the spring; Applying
light dressings of straw or stable
manure on winter wheat, preferably
in the fall to prevent blowing and to
lessen the evaporation. t. w. Davitt,
of Jennings, Kans., did this.

A Wa-Keeney woman offered to fore

Perhaps you have noticed that a
member of the Roosevelt family has
been appointed assistant secretary of
his start in national politics and the
question is Will history repeat her

Attorney John F. Hanson seems to
be having some legal trouble on hands
nearly all the time. If he wants to
do something really worth while let
him ask the courts for an injunction
which will keep publishers of daily
papers from pasting the address label
diagonally across the very best news
item in their papers. There seem to
be collusion among them, a sort of
trust or combine which compels sub
scribers to take at least two dailies in
order to get all the news.
We hear very little about trichina
in these days but it seems that .'pork"

when the traders put particularly
raw" deal over the opposition.
A college paper declares that
crocheting is not real sin, in itself,
