FOR REBUILDING FIELDS.
Few Things Better Than Cowpeas as
Reviver of the Soil

The experiment station of Tennessee
recommends to the farmers of that
State that cowneas be planted as a
means of reiuvenating wornout soils
If cowpeas will build up the farmed
out soils of Tennessee they certainly
will be advantageous elsewhere.
A point OF understood by farmers
generally but emphasized by the Ten
nessee station is that when the COW
peas were plowed under there was lit
tie apparent increase in yield of the
crop following.
OF three farms for a three, four and
five year period cowpeas were grown
and plowed under. On each farm the
same acreage of cowpeas was sown
and the hay harvested The land was
handled under the same conditions
and planted to the same crops.
The experience justiiies the Tennes-
see station in recommending that the
crop be not plowed under. provided
there is need for the hav The conclu
sion is that the roots and stubble Of
cowpeas supply the soil with so much
humus and NITROGEN that it pays better
to make hay of the tops than to pillow
them under. unless. of course, the soil
has had its supply of humus exhausted
by continuous clean culture for a mum

Book Club Holds Its Civic Meeting.
The Woman's Box Club held its
Civic meeting last week, and although
the day was cold and stormy there was
a large attendance. The chairman
called the attention of the ladies to the
accomplishments of the club women in
other towns towards civic improve
ment. and detailed some of the meth
DDS adopted by these workers. She
regretted that so old a city as Yering
ton should have so few improvements
or so little done to make the place
more livable 1t was suggested that
the installing of the waters sys-
tenn would assist materially in en-
couraging the citizens in planting
trees and lawns
Some of the suggestions for inn
provement made by the ladies were
excellent. and as there seemed no way
for the women working alone to &C
complish any definite good, it was de
cided to appoint committee to meet
with the Commercial Club and solicit
their aid in making Yerington more
beautiful place, a more healthful home
and happier, better regulated city.

BENEFITS OF THE SEPARATOR
The Machine is Equally as Useful in
Winter as in Summer.

Many who grant that the separator
is useful in the summer do not fully
realize that it is just as useful III the
winter time. In fact, where there is
quantity of milk to handle it is in
some respects even more OF a neces-
sity 1t has, of course, many points
which require special attention during
the cold weather and to adjust these
seems to be the special mission of the
separator.
Almost everyone who complains
during the cold weather that the
seen directions to obvate this by heat
ing OH the range almost to the scald-
ing point when the milk is first
strained
Some have tried this with success
and well know that it means more
hard work. and butter money under
such conditions is surely earned. Yet
where the milk is obtained in large
quantities this method would be out
of the question without special facill
ties.
The separator asks no special favors
and the cream must separate when 1t
gets to work. The process is equally
thorough and easy in zero weather or
when the mercury is travelling around
among the nneties.
Also, the cream will be of the same
uniform quality day after day. There
is no danger of being compelled to
churn for hours just because the but
ter refuses to come, which is usually
the result of slow gathering of the
cream--a condition lessened when all
the cream is bound to come, and that
at the proper time And the mixing
of too much milk with the cream the
cream gauge arranges perfectly
Butter made from separated cream
is uniform in quality. There is nc
need of an apology because the cream
was a little this or that. for where
only the cream and not the milk must
be kept at certain temperature the
work is easily done.
TO keep the milk for hours at the
most favorable temperature might
mean great Inconvenience in the
household: but the smaller cream jar
NAV be placed near the kitchen range
and thus easily kept at the desired
temperature without being very much
in the way.
While it goes without saying that
more butter is obtained because al
the cream is taken from the milk and
kept in best condition, it is equally
true that the product is uniformly
good. There is no variation-Bessic

Very Coed for Greens.

Among the vegetables especially dc
sirable in every garden is Swiss chard
or leaf beet This is an old vegetable
but one that does not seem to be
grown great deal 1t is used entirely
for greens. much the same as young
beets or spinach
One advantage of Swiss chard is
that leaves may be cut from it and
others take their place. thus doing
away with successive sowing. 1t is
good any time from the time it is large
enough to use rr+il cold weather
When the plant sets pretty near full
grown the leaves are picked and the
midrib taken out and the leaf part
cooked the same as spinach, The mid
rib is also occasionally used, being
cooked about the same as asparagus

SUCCESS ON DRY LAND FARM
Most Important of Many Things is
Supplementary Irrigation.

There are many things that make
for success on dry land farm and
home. The most important of these is
supplementary irrigation. This does
not conflict in any way with the dry
land work, but rather assists by util-
izlng one of the resources which ma
ture has provided. However, the ex-
tent to which the practice may be APP
piled is limited to the water supply
available.
One of the first and most important
things for the dry land farmer to as
certain is whether water supply can
be developed from the underground
water or stored during the torrential
rain periods.
Where water supply can not be
developed, the homesteader soon be
comes discouraged and he abandons
his claim
The proper location for the we'll can
often be decided upon by studying
the we'll in the immediate neighbor
hood Where the distance is too great
for this method. test holes may be put
down with two or three Inch auger
and light derrick made of two by four
inch timbers.
The points desirable to know are,
CD Depth to water level: CIV material
encountered in sinking test well; (3)
amount the water lowers in the well
during pumping, and az kind OF well
most desirable, whether drilled, bored
or dug
With this information, some idea O.
the amount of water which can be
expected in the locality can be formed
thus decideing to what extent irrlga
ton can be practiced.
After water has been located. the
method for making the well must be
decided Where competent well drill
ers can be obtained the drilled wei
is the most satisfactory. especially II
it is necessary to 90 any great depth
The most important thing to aScer
tain in drilled well. as in other meth
DDS, is the size of the perforations If
the strainer the water bearing grave
will permit
This can be determined in the test
hole or the neighborng wells.
The openings of the stralner SHOULD
be equal to 10 or II times the eros,
sectional area of the casing or suffl-
cient, if possible, to allow the water
to pass through into the well, as read
ily as through the water bearing gravel
stratum. Long slots, punched in the
casing from the inside, with the burr
on the outside. are the best in coarse
materials, but quick sands or very fine
materials often necessitate special wire
strainers.
In some localities it is also neces-
sarv to ascertain which water bearing
stratum to use on account of the MIN
erals they may contain, and the OBJ
iectionable water can be cased off
The style and size of pump will be
determined by the depth to water and
quantity that can be developed.
These factors will also largely de
termine the kind of power to be used.
Under the ordinary drv land district
conditions. the windmill is the most
economical power. A small gasoline
engine which is equivalent in power
to the Windmill and used to supple
ment the wind mill during calm times
makes an ideal combination for limited
