Spring Preparation
on Southern Farms.

In no section of the country
does a we'll prepared seed bed
give better returns than in the
Southern States. The best spring
preparation of the soil is practi-
cally impossible unless it has
been properly turned and deeply
broken during the previous sum-
mer or fall. The necessity for
deep blowing in the South is pro-
baby not realized by those who
are not familiar with the heavy
rainfalls in this section, which
frequently packs and runs the
particles of soil together so as to
exclude air and sunshine. The
absence of freezing prevents any
loosening up Of the particles, be.
sides, in many places there is an
almost impervious hard.pan Of
subsoil, either natural or brought
about from continuous custom
of shallow blowing. In other
sections this deepening and loos-
ening of the soil is done partly at
least by the forces of nature, but
can only be accomplished by the
pillow in the South. Such are the
findings of the Department Of
Agriculture.
The best implement for deep
breaking of the soil is the disc
pillow, which turns, pulverizes and
mixes at the same time. When
properly adjusted the disc breaks
the land deeply and thoroughly
loossns it, mixing this soil and
the subsoil to some extent, but
does not turn to the surface
enough of the inert subsoil to iu-
jure the succeeding crop. the
next best method for deep break
ing is moldboard blowing, set to
turn burrows on edge and this
is followed by subsoil pillow in
the same furrow as deeply as de-
sired.
If the cover crop is to follow
the fall breaking, a thorough
preparation of the seed. bed should
be made before planting the seed.
If no cover or 'p is sown the disc
harrow or spring tooth harrow
should be ran over occasionally
to crush clods and keep surface
crusts broken f)r the admission
of ar and sunlight. The usual
method is to fiat break and where
this is done it is best to throw up,
into beds before planting. Plant.

THE RETURN

Henry did not get on very well with
his people at home, so he enlisted,
and after time went to India. After
many years he returned to his native
village, thinking how surprised the
old folk would be.
He walked along the village street
in his smart-looking uniform, his
heart beating fast as he neared the
old home.
Opening the gate, he walked up the
gravel path. Just then a ferocious
dog rushed out and grabbed his leg.
Shaking the dog off, he speedily re-
gained the road, and was standing at
the other side of the fence when his
father came out. So
"Ah, my SOM said the old man.
Like the prodigal, you have re-
turnedr'
"Yes," growled the soldier; but
it's your dog that's enjoyed the fatted
calf"

MERELY EXPERIMENTING

The Browns recently took up their
abode at a new house in the country,
and Robinson who, by the way, was
Browns most intimate friend in his
bachelor days, went down to see
them one Saturday afternoon.
AS he approached the house, a
large dog ran out and began barking
at him fiercely through the fence.
Robinson hesitated. He didn't al
together like the look of that dog.
Just then, however, Mrs. Brown came
to the door.
'HeIlo!" she exclaimed. "How
nice of you to come down here to see
us! Come right in. Don't mind the
dogw
Nervously Robinson fingered the
latch of the gate.
But are you sure he won't bite?"
he asked, glancing toward the dog
which he was by no means anxious
to meet until he had received some
assurance of personal safety.
"Oh," replied Mrs. Brown, that's
just what want to find out. You see,
l only bought him this morning"
