In the beginning, your love may be his sheet-anchor. If he could get other work or your place of abode be changed so that he would pass through other streets on his way home, the situation might improve. Whatever you do, hold on to love and faith"

 The editor of the department makes the following reply:
 If ever you needed courage and resolution you need them now. You must try to bear pa tiently with your husband when he is weary and help him to make brave fight against the temptation that has attacked him. Send him away in the morning after a cheerful meal and prepare good supper for

The attention of everyone is to the work that the Zenith Lit erary Society is going to give to the public at 5 o'clock next Fri day evening at the High School auditorium. This is their annual play and celebration and they promise to give something worth hearing. The play, As You Like It," will be worth the trip. While the admission fee is small, we do not intend to give a ten. cent Shakespeare; we simply wish to meet some little expense in the work.

Now in explanation TO those who

1900 ana 1910 the meat producing an
imals of the country fell off 10000, 00O
in number while the population in
creased 100000 and the price Of
meat doubled.
As It Is not in the nature OF man
to deny himself--eat less meat unless
he absolutely has to-there is but
one way to keep this price from
doubling again-that is TO raise moro
cattle.
Great acreage is a thing Of the past,
Year after year the land holding are
breaking up mot smaller tracts, so
that grazing land is not feasible,
The Silo steps forward to solve this
problem. With a Silo a farmer can

HOW TO TEST SEED CORN.


(By Prof. II. VI. Cottrell)
Enough ears TO plant 20 acres can
be tested in a single day with home
made tester. Take corn crib lumber
and make a box six inches deep and
about two feet by three feet in size.
Fill the box about half full Of moist
dirt sand or sawdust; press 1t well
down so so II Will have smooth even
surface. Now take a white cloth about
the size Of the box; rule it off check
erboord fashion, making the squares
IL inches each way. Number the
checks /, 2, and so on. Place this
over the sand dirt or sawdust.
Take the ears to be tested and lay
them out on the floor; write the num-
Der OF the ear on a small square Of
paper and pin the poper TO the ear.
Take kernels from both sides OF each
ear. taking one kernel on each side
about 1 X inches above the butt, one
kernel on each side at the center and
one kernel on each side about u
inches below the tip. Put these kerr

PROTECT THE SOIL MOISTURE
Amorillo, Texas.)
(By Prof. II. NJ. Bainer,)

There are but two ways for mois-
ture to come out Of the earth. One
is through plant life and the other by
evaporation. If we allow a hard crust
to form it will cause this evaporation;
but, when we place a soil mulch on
the earth, it forms a protection to the
moisture beneath. When rain comes
you want to go over 1t and remulch
the soil and thus set the trap for the
next rain. AS soon as you catch one
rain set your trap for the next. Des-
troy what would form a crust ond al
low the escape of the moisture al
read in tbe ground. Let me Illus
| trate: Put a clod of dirt on your hand
and then put coal Of fire on top Of
It. 1t will soon burn you. Now pull
verize a clod Of earth put the coal of
fire on top of it, and you can carry
IL all over the farm. The hard clod
is conductor of heat, When you
pulverize II, it is a non-conductor and
will protect your hand from the fire
above.
Dig out basin in the earth; pour
a bucket of water In It and let the
water soak into the soil; place a skill
let over the depression, build fire
! in the vessel, and a crust will form,
and the moisture will soon all be
drawn up and be absorbed by the air
as by sponge. On the other hand,
after the water Is poured into the hole
and disappears in it, drawn down by
gravity. place in the depression loose
soil or ashes two or three inches deep;
fire up the skillet and there will be
no crust and little or no evaporation.
So, II you pulverize the surface soil
there is no doubt but 1t will protec,
the moist soil beneath from the suns
heata. As the soil begins to ust
evaporation will commence; So If
you let the hard crust form over your
prepared soil. the action Of the sun
win soon cause the soil to lose It's
moisture. That IL as sure as the sun
shines when the mulch is created
crust will not form. and it stands
there a nin-conductor Of heat and a
protector Of the moisture.

THE scNLE ON TIE FARM.

The scale Is Just as important on
the farm as in the grocery store. How
would the grocer succeed who in sell
Ing sugar should put in a few scoop
fuls and say 81 guess that's about
right" or In selling noils should drop
few handfuls in the bag and say
Il guess that's about It," The farmer
who guesses at how much he Is feed
ing his cows or hogs, who Guesses
at how much milk or gains he is get
ting is doing just the same kind I
business as the merchant who should
guess instead Of weigh.
The COWS and the pigs. etc, are the
farmers customers. They take his
feed and roughage. Now the farmer
needs to know what he gets in re-
tura in the way Of pounds Of milk,
butter fat, pork etc. No successful
business was ever built on guessing
farming is no exception.

Silo feeding farmer
Oklahoma farmers will never come
into their own; merchants and bank
ers will never feel their fun measure
Of prosperity; We will not have cheap
interest money or get on our de-
served financial basis until our farm
ers feed out the products Of the farm
TO dairy cows or beef cattle, instead
of hauling their crop to town or leav-
ing IT in shocks to dry out and lose
half of its feeding value.
The state Of Wisconsin, n state that
is over half heavy timber and with
that is cold most of the year-maS-
ing heavy feeding necessary-pro-
duces each year $4,000 worth OF
dairy products. (These are figures
from their agricultural Department. }
If Wisconsin can produce $SO,00O,000
Oklahoma, with her mild winter and
opportunity for a second crop of sill
age, should produce many millions
more at half the investment, for in
Wisconsin, because of the cold, barns
cost as much as houses do here.
The Silo is truly our salvation.
When the city man and the farmer
realize this and put their combined
forces to work In education and ac-
complishment, Oklahoma will come
into It's own, and a $1,000 600 year
from silage will not be laughed at in
