SUMMER TITLED FIELD
LINE OF WORK THAT rs NOT GEN.
ERALLY UNDERSTOOD.
Soon ss One Crop 10 Removed Work
Of Preparing for Next Should Be
losienIng Surface and De-
stroyinp All Weeds.

Summer tilling is one part OF better
or scientific farming that applies to-
sections OF the country where the rain
fall is light and untimely. and where
irrigation is not available. writes H.
w. Campbell In Dry Farming II is a
line OF work that ia far from being gen
orally understood or appreciated, for
the reason that many know nothing
about II. and many more. not under
standing the principles have made mis-
takes In attempting to carry out the
work
II Is so easy for us to be content In
the thought that we are doing all
right. when we really are quite wrong.
Then, again. our mind is drawn to
other fields OF work that we conceive
TO be more important, causing us to-
relax our consideration OF the summer
titled fields, during which time they
deteriorate. either through the loss OF
moisture by direct evaporation from
excessive heat following rain or
through the growth OF weeds.
At no time between the harvest OF
one crop and the seeding of the next
crop should field be neglected, ID
Is not alone during the growing OF n
crop that the field needs close atten-
ton. II II is possible the field should
never be allowed to lose all its moIs-
ture. for there. Is no time when the
available plant food may be increased
through natures own medium as rap
! idly as when a field has no crop grow
ing. providing soil conditions are right.
The difference in the yield OF grain
from the fields handled just right as
compared with other fields where
work is not correctly done. or slight
errors occur, is 80 marked that we
cannot but insist more and more that
before the high limit OF progress can
be attained In the semi-arid belt there
must be closer attention to details.
Not infrequently a slight error In sum-
mer tilling VIII make n difference OF
10 TO 30 bushels in the yield OF wheat.
Timeliness OF work done Is one OF
the vital requisites As soon as one
crop Is removed the work should be-
gin by loosening the surface and de.
stroying all weeds or volunteer growth
The disk harrow Is the best and al
most the only tool that will accom-
plish this successfully. This imple-
ment should be used by tapping half.
thus double disking. cutting to depth
OF three inches. This will leave a
loose mulch Of about four and hale
inches, which stops the upward move
ment and evaporation OF the moisturs
in the soil below, causing It to accu'
mulate in the top OF the firm soil Just
below the loosened soil or mulch. Fur
ther advantage OF this loosening Is
found in the more ready percolation
or soaking down OF the later rains as
they come.
To get all moisture possible into ths
soil below and retain II there is the
one great problem. And until this
point is fully appreciated. both as TO
the extent that II can be done. and
what II really means to the future
crops when It Is done. we shall never
see the progress and successful do
velopment OF the semi-arid sections
that are possible.

Words, gestures and rolling
eyes are the materials of the
eloquenr orators craft and il
matters not how they are com
bined so long as they produce an
instant effect. Yet those who
are amateurs of the dangerous
craft might reflect that the en-.
joyment of triumph is some
times dearly bought by the ruin
of country or the disgrace of a
great public servant.
Mr.. Gladstone, for instance,
did more harm of his general ton,
and he did it all by the exercise
of oratory. His speeches, devoid
of form and thought, died with
the silence of his voice. No
single human soul is ever likely
to read them again, even from
curiosity. The few that have
been printed will moulder in pub
lie libraries with old gazettes
and gather upon their pages the
dust of neglect. Poor as they
are in style, they were interpret
ed by histrion of genius, and
thus did their work of evil. !.

MIN OF Spirit

Few persons ever stop to consider.
says the Journal Of the American Med
teal Association, that when they
speak of "a man Of spirit" they are
really, however unwitdngly. employ
ing the language of the days of Claud-
ius Galen, a noted Roman physician,
born A. D. 1870. That the term is yet
used is testimony that the old doc
trine OF spirits is not obsolete. Galen
perhaps had a conception Of nerve
trunks as conductors Of something
he called 1t spirits-to and from the
brain and spinal cord. The natural
spirits were that property which gave
to blood the capacity Of nourishing
the tissues of the body. The vital
spirits were acquired in the heart:
and when at last the blood with its
vital spirits went to the brain and
experienced a sort Of refinement for
the last time, the animal spirits were
separated from 1t and carried to the
body by the nerve trunks. The animal
spirits Of Galen have become the
nerve impulses Of today. These are
not electricity, but they produce It.
and can be manifested by it.
