MANY REASONS FOR HARROW
Besides Making Up Lumps, Allowing
Seeds to terminate II Increases
Feeding Area Of Roots.

Some farmers are content with one
to break up the largest Jumps and en-.
able the seeds to terminate. But that
Is not enough. We harrow to increase
the feeding area of the roots all
through the season by giving them
finely divided soil in which to spread.
We harrow to put the soil in the best
possible condition to catch and hold
the rains. We harrow to warm the
soil, to aerate it and to promote the
activity Of the germ life that is so es
sential to its fertility This means
that the ground should be gone over
more than is necessary to merely
break up the Jumps so that the seeds
will terminate 1t means narrowing
and cross-harrowing, three times, four
times, six times, If necessary; or until
all Of the upper four or FIVE inches of
soil upturned by the pillow has been
made as nearly like an onion bed In
mellowness as the texture of the soil
will permit
1t does not pay to skimp harrow
ing in the rush of the busiest season
of the farmers busy year A farmer
once told me that every time he went
over certain piece of land with his
cutaway harrow, in preparing it with
corn, he received more than seventy
five cents an hour for the work when
the ears were busheled.-Dr. w. S.

No Joke.

At the Chicago Athletic club a
game had been put up on cynical
old bachelor. The man had waited
from eight to ten in the park on q
snowy evening in obedience to a
pale pink, violet-scented note that his
friends had faxed in order to see il
he was really as confirmed a woman
hater as he claimed
Turning up at the club for a night
cap, the duped and frozen bachelor
was very sullen and sulky when his
friends derided him. He saw no fun
whatever in the fake note.
George AIDE, noticing his black and
lowering looks, gave a loud laugh and
said
What a skinfiint you must be!
Won't even laugh at joke, Ell, If It's
at your own expense!"

the wise farmer has stored up during
years of plenty. Yet in spite of this
fact, not one farmer In ten thousand

root system of the wheat plant he
grows year after year. In fact, it is a
current belief among dry farmers
themselves that such roots pene-

twelve inches.

Rev. David Peters who spoke at the
Empire mems meeting last night de.
clared that there is a new movement
toward religion sweeping over Ameri-
ca. Mr.. Peters has just returned from
trip through the states where ha
had opportunity to talk with many OF
the leaders in religious work. There
is reaction against the mad rush
for pleasure which we have been wit,
Messing. And why should there not
be since this seeking after pleasure
is only chase after something that
can not be found in that way. What
every man is after is a feeling of sat.
isfaction in his heart He will never
get it until he too begins to give at.
tention to the spiritual part of his ma.
ture"
Continuing Mr.. Peters said: at does
not matter what country you come
from or what language you speak it is
true that you must give attention to
your religious nature. We do not sheer
at man when he seeks food for his
body or mind, why should we when he
decides that he will feed his spirit. 1t
lis about time we came to our senses
and realized that we have three sides
to our lives"
Throughout the address Mr.. Peters
used illustrations from his recent trip
and told of conversations with men
whom he had known 20 years ago.
These men still tell me that during
all these years they have found that
the only way they can get real pleas.
ure out of life is by giving attention
to their spiritual life
