but recently begun their farm
ing operations, arriving too late
to do any fall planting. To these
and to those who have located
on "dry farming lands tributary
to this railroad this bulletin is
addressed.
Selection of Crops.
The range of crops that can
be profitably grown on "dry
lands" is limited. Fall wheat
Turkey Red), fall barley utah
winter barley. Winter Emmer
and Corn (dry farm flint. in
clude the crops that have proved
commercially profitable. 1t is
true in some sections oats, pota-
toes, alfalfa and kaffir corn have
been grown with varying de-
grees of success, but the dry
farmers main reliance must be
upon wheat and barley (fall
planted) and upon corn. Rye
both fall and spring varieties
have been grown in some Sec
tions, but experience justifies
the belief that where soil and
climatic conditions are favorable
to the production Of a yield of
from ten to fourteen bushls of
rye. yield of from Is to 80
bushels of barley or wheat may
be expected under the same con-
ditions. Fall planted oats Dos
well winter) have given very
satisfactory yield in some in
stances. but so many failures
have been reported that we rec
ommend that this cropFbe tried
only in an experimental way.
Potatoes. too, have been grown
in a limited area with some
measure of success and drv
farmers will be justified in
growing sufficient of this crop
at least for family use. On typi-
cal dry land where the free soil
water is twenty feet or more
below the surface alfalfa as a
forage crop is not profitable but
in some localities may prove to
be a good money maker when
grown for the seed.
Kaffir corn is an excellent
dry-farming crop in the Great
Plains area but many failures
andsbut few successes have been
reported for this crop in the arid
section of the Rocky Mountain
regions. 1t is, however, worthy
of trial on limited scale.
Preparation OF the Soil.
In sections where the precipi-
tation does not exceed IL inches
annually, successful dry farming
involves the storage or conser-
walton of the moisture Of
two seasons for the production
of one crop. The land should be
cleared of the native Vegetation
and plowed to a depth of from
eight to ten inches as early in
the spring as possible. This land
should be Immediately disced or
narrowed and a mulch formed
to prevent the loss of any moist
ure that may be present. Par
ticular attention should be paid
to prevent the formation of a
"crust"or growth of Vegetation
during the season. At least four
teen to fifteen months should
elapse between the time of first
blowing and seeding if profitable
and satisfying yields are ex-
pected. Several civilizations of
the soil will be necessary during
this interim, and especially fol-
lowino rain storms We advise

to be said for our friend Watson that be-

"Hailstorm Belt" In England.

An ecentricity of English weather
of especial interest to farmers has
been discovered by the board of agri-
culture. The hail period begins in
April and continues till August; but
it only has the dignity of a season
over certain narrow and distinct parts
of England. Again and again the hail
storms have cut straight path, with
well-defined edges, through the crops
in Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire.
and less thoroughly in Lincoln, Nor
folk and Cambridgeshire, while other
counties have been exempt.
One theory of this popularity is
that the hailstorms coming from the
east do not fall until they touch the
first bit of rising ground, and this ris-
ing ground quite empties them. 1t is
a general belief that years which be-
gin eccentrically in regard to weather
are apt to continue eccentric, and the
recent hail, earlier than usual in the
season, suggests that its recurrence
in the summer is also more than usu-
ally likely-London Globe.

Hunger Strike of Long Ago.

AS long ago as the reign of Edward
III. the hunger strike was known in
England> Cecilia. wife of John de
Rygeway, was in 1857 confined in
Nottingham jail on a charge of mur-
dering her husband, and there, accord
ing to the old records, she abstained
from meat and drink for forty days.
Which, being reported to the king, he
was moved by piety, and for the
glory of God and the Blessed Virgin
to grant the woman a pardon" The
records say nothing of her guilt or
innocence, nor do they throw any
light on fourteenth century ideas OF
forcible feeding.

Woman's Mission.

Woman's mission is striking illus
tration of the truth that happiness
consists in doing the work for which
we are naturally fitted. Their mission
is always the same; it is summed up
in one word-Love. 1t is the only
work in which there can never be too
many workers; it grows by co-opera-
tion; it has nothing to fear from COM
petition. Women are charged with
the education of sympathy, the source
of real human unity; and their high
est happiness is reached when they
have the full consciousness of their
vocation and are free to follow it.
1t is the admirable feature of their
social mission, that it invites them to
cultivate qualities which are natural
to them, to call into exercise emotions
which all allow to be the most pleas
urable-Auguste Comte.
