EARLY FLOWING BEST
BY e. Z. Robbins, Agent, TaxswsII
County, Illinois.

Early blowing is much the best fol
corn. 1t has many advantages. When
glowing early. one can pillow deeper
than he can later on and still gel
satisfactory seed bed. Whether it ia
sod or corn stalk ground. the early
blowing allows the plowed ground to
make q better connection with the
soil below and any trash or stalks
becomes we'll surrounded with soil
and gets an early start at rotting,
Rotten corn stalks do not interfere
with tue passage of moisture through
the ground as do stalks plowed under
just before corn planting time. These
early plowed stalks also make less
trouble for cultivation.
One of the main advantages of early
blowing is that it prevents evapora.
tion of moisture and SO allows the
soil to hold a full stock of moisture
for the use Of the crop. Another i'm.
portant advantage is found in the mel.
low seed ted produced by early plow.
ing. Before the land has baked, the
soil pl0ws up mellow and it is pos.
slble to make seed bed without the
Objectionable clods. A still further
advantage of early blowing is that it
allows the weed seeds an opportunity
to sprout and be killed by discing or
narrowing before corn is planted.
Early blowing and subsequent discing
and narrowing also do more than any.
thing else to kill out the corn root

damage with corn in old ground. TAX
ing all these things into consideration
it is not surprising that corn on land
winch was plowed early frequently
yields 10 or 20 bushels more than
corn on land plowed late.

Gravel Improves Roads.

Where gravel Is abundant roads may
be greatly improved by spreading .
layer Of the same on central space
In the road. This space should be
not less than say twelve feet wide.
II the gravel IS suitable, two to three
inches of it will tend to firm the road

the materials are suitable and the
expense can be borne is to remove the
earth from this central portion and
nearly fill the depression with small
stones. Then cover with two or three
inches Of earth and over this spread
the gravel. A good road is thus made
and one that lasts, but this can only
be done where such material in plenti-

The remains were Inferred in River

this little soul was particularly sad
from the fact that his parents were at
their home in E. Scoby, Mont, and
the little fellow was here with his
grandparents, having come out but a
few days before to stay until after the
holidays. He had long looked forward
to the time when he could make the
trip back to his grandparents home,
where the holidays promised glorious
times for the little fellow. But alas,

Of everyone with whom he came in

To Think Over.
(Waterbury American.


 Why, after all, this haste and ea- gerness to get ships to carry food to Europe? We need 1t here. Prices are already going up in anticipation of the drain to feed the combatants, who have turned their ploughshares into swords and are not able to raise for themselves But why should we do 1t, especially to our disadvantage Better let them starve They will stop fighting the sooner.
 Why this pressure to make a loan ot a hundred millions to one or an- other of the fighting nations ,? @ They need three things-food, gold and mu- rition of war. Let us keep our gold as we'll as our food. We have good use for both. ....-.
 But it is good business. The money for this loan might be kept in this country to pay for foodstuffs sent over. Besides we owe Europe many millions and this is the very oppurnity to pay. But if you saw a madman running amuck down the street and recollected that you owe him some money would you run out and buy him a pistol and ammunition in order to discharge your dept?
 Do the farmers who have the grain to sell and the bankers who want to make the loan need the money enough to justify so liberal contribution to war
