DYNAMITING FOR DRY FARM
Practise 10 Becoming Common and
Some Immense Yields Have Been
Secured on Small Plata,

Some have used this method for
crops instead of blowing and some ire
mendous yields have been obtained on
small plats; but we have had no
chance of comparing the cost with the
results on a large acreage, says o
writer in Rranch and Range. Dyna-
hitting holes for trees. however, is be-
coming common and the expense is
half stick Of dynamite, one cap and
about two feet of fuse for each tree.
A hole Is bored with the soil auger
about two feet or 80 inches where the
tree is to go; the half stick Of dyna-
mite Is inserted with cap and fuse at
tached, and then the dirt is replaced
In the hole around the fuse, tamping
with a stick as 1t Is filled in
After the explosion two or three
swings of the shovel will clear the
hole ready to set the tree. The sub
soil will be found shattered to some
extent in the neighborhood of the hole,
and this is supposed to be beneficial
in allowing the roots to penetrate a
hard-pan.
Until some one plants some trees
In dynamited holes and some others
in ordinary holes alongside of them, It
will be impossible to come to any def.
mite conclusion as to the advantage,
If any. derived from dynamiting.
We know that deep blowing is the
best way out In dry farming; for the
same reason dynamiting ought to be

is always moist in the we'll cultivated
orchard where the trees are not too
close together.

Modern Greek.

A stranger came into our office and
graciously offered us some fruit which
he said he purchased downstairs In
the Greek grocery store. We asked
him what Greek grocery, and he said
the one right under us, in Holpos'
place, We have been here some time
and knew nobody Of that name, and
to satisfy our curiosity we went down
stairs to have look.
Sure enough, there was what did
look like "Holpos" on the end Of the
awning, at least there were the let

bold relief. We have learned since
that 1t Is an abbreviation used by

ITCHING SALT RHEUM

Oxford, Mont MY salt rheum
started with little white pimples.
When l scratched they would burn
and itch and later on they would fill
up, break and spread and get red all
around. 1t came on my thigh. When
the pimples broke, just enough fluid
ran out to form scales. 1t seemed
to enlarge the sores and they felt like
saw-teeth when my clothing rubbed
over them. l underwent a treatment
for quite a while but l got no relief.
In fact l got worse. / was getting so
that 1t troubled me very much, as 1t
got so l hated to move my limb for
fear to crack open the sores which
covered my left limb from my hip to
my ankle. The sores were from the
size Of pea to the size OF a silver
dollar.
Il got a cake OF Cuticura Soap and
a box Of Cuticura Ointment. The very
first treatment gave me ease and from
then on with every treatment l could
see a change. Four weeks from the

HOW HE TURNED THE TRICK
After This, Mr.. Mordecai Hammerfest
Must Be Credited With Knowing
Thing or Two.

Mrs. Mordecai Hammerfest turned
pale as her husband entered the din
ing room for breakfast
"Mordy," she gasped do you
don't you feel well?"
Perfectly" he replied in seeming
surprise.
"But-but, you are in your-your
underduds!"
Tell me something / don't know
Pass the butter, please" said Mr.. Ham
merfest.
She passed the butter. remarking
nervously. But, Mordy, dear, as you
came in l saw you didn't have any
shoes on"
We'll. what of it. Your hair is in
curl papers. isn't it?"
"Why-y-yes.
And you have on wrapper
haven't your"
YES"
Very well, then"
And he went on eating his break
fast in silence except when he asked
her to pass the butter. Then he went
upstairs and finished dressing, and the
next morning and on succeeding morn
ings she reported for breakfast in reg
ular clothes.

STORAGE OF SOIL MOISTURE
Several Factors Are Cited In auII.,l,
issued by the Nebraska Expert
ment Station.

Inc Nebraska experiment station
mas Just recently issued a bulletin on
ine storage and Use of Soil Mois-
lure. This bulletin is brief discus
sion OF work done at the North Platte
suostalon relative to the storage and
use OF soil moisture. 1t treats of the
possibilities Of storing water in the
SOIL during certain periods, to be used
later In conjunction with the rainfall.
several of the factors influencing the
storage OF water In the soil are dis
cussed.
summer tillage has been the most
eHective method Of storing water, but
even by this method only from 10 to
% per cent of the seasonal rainfall
nas been stored In the soil A discue,
sion OF the amount of water retained
py summer tillage during each OF the
past several years shows that the
amount OF water stored varies with
the amount and distribution OF the
rainfall during the period covered by
the summer tillage. 1t has been found
Ihat water stored in the soil before
seeding Is safeguard against drought,
out II has not been found possible to
store enough water In the soil before
seeding to mature a crop without sub
sequent rains.
Dlsking small grain stubble has
proved beneficial by preventing weed
roWth, whenever there has been suf-
1clent moisture In the soil at harvest
time to produce crop Of weeds, or
where rains have come early enough
o start weed growth.
Flowing has been better than disk
h8. In that 1t more thoroughly kills
Ill weed growth. and in the case Of
neayy rains plowed land will absorb
more water than disked land. because
It is more thoroughly stirred.
Artificial mUlches of straw or hay
lave proved more effective than soil
nulches In absorbing and retaining
water from rains.
Spring wheat, oats, barley and corn
iced to an average depth of four feet
In this soil. Winter wheat feeds to a
depth OF six or seven feet. Alfalfa
and grasses use water from greater
depths
Weeds are the greatest agency for
the loss Of water from the soil. Pre-
venting weed growth has been more
important from the standpoint of stor-
ing water in the soil than cultivating
the soil to produce any kind OF a
mulch.

In short. good health does not come
out Of bottles nor law abiding citi-
zens out OF cells. Both are matters of
physical balance, the product of intel
ligent breeding and OF training begin
ming not later than the cradle period.
Even morality. concerning which we
are hearing so much under the cap
lions social evil" or white slavery"
is not a matter of wage, but OF charac-
ter, and therefore absolutely the result
of training.
In the final analysis civilization is
nothing more than the development OF
inhibitory centers enabling us to curb
and subdue the remains of our Jungle
nature-always very near to the sur
face even in the best of us. But So
crime, then coddles the one and pun
ishes the other, and all the time per.
mits both to breed more incompetents
Science has demonstrated that good
health and freedom from crime may
be purchased by intelligent co-opera-
ton and the expenditure OF money for
the benefit of men en- masse. And the
day will undoubtedly come when Ill
health will be considered a greater
disgrace than to be imprisoned, be-
cause the latter is only the result Of
breaking man-made laws, while i'll
health is the result of transgressing
natures law, for which there can be
no excuse among intelligent people
When that day does dawn there will
be no more prisons, for they will have
passed with the thumbscrew, the rack
and the stake. In place of jails, re-
forniatories and penitentiaries, what
we need are more organized nurseries
and training schools for children, more
hospitals and training institutions for
the adult.

THE CURE IDEA.

Four thousand years OF human his
tory demonstrate the utter futility Of
curative medicine In disease or of
punitive remedies for the cure OF
crime. On the other hand, the marvel.
GUS results following the practical ap.
plication Of theories evolved from
modern scientific investigation must
convince the most skeptical that only
along rational lines Of prevention can
the steadily rising tide OF disease and
crime be successfully combated
There are no accidents In this world.
Every happening Is the inevitable re-
suit Of specific cause acting accord.
Ing to definite and immutable law,
what we term accidents" being a
happening unexpected only because Of
our ignorance Of the fundamental con-
ditions and law. AS heat and cold are
one and the same, varying only In de-
gree. so accident, disease and crime
are only varying results from a com
mon cause-instability, lack of har-
mony In existing conditions.
Accident and disease are the result
OF transgressions of natural law;
crime is the result OF breaking man.
made law. All three are very largely
matters OF geography. for the reason
that what will result In one or the
other in one country or state will not
produce a like result in another
place.
Either unknowingly or In spite Of
ourselves, and whether we like 1t or
not, nature leads us by purely person
al motive to fulfil her ends. In other
words, humanity must react according
to each individual nature and It's en-
vironment. Because OF this fact punt
tive laws have never been deterrent,
never can be deterrent. In our ig-
norance we establish laws running
counter to natural law and thereby
make Criminals" Because of this
fact society has been forced again and
again either to remove the cause or to
amend or repeal the law and legalize
the crime.
But we can neither amend nor 70
peal natural law nor by resolution null
lily the effect OF given action; and,
as each act has a positive and newt
able result, irrevocable and extending
to the end, either we must adapt our
selves to the new conditions or suffer
In consequence. II we are elastic and
adaptable we react" and continue to
enjoy good health, but II rigid and
UNACCEPTABLE we suffer disease and pre-
mature extinction.
We do not break natural laws; they
break US If we are stupid enough to
try to run counter to them. Therefore,
the logic Of the situation should drive
us diligently to familiarize ourselves
with the fundamental laws of the uni
verse of which we are an integral part,
that we may live In harmony there
with and fulfil our destiny. whatever
1t may be.
