EQUIPMENT FOR A DRY FARM
Farmers Machinery Should Be Adapt
ed to Covering Large Areas
Well In Short Time.

By ALVIN KEYSER. Colorado Agricul-
tural College)
Work on non-irrigated farms, to be
most successful, must be performed
at the right time, when the soil Is In
proper condition.
Often this time is ven short In
ability to do work at the right time,
means the difference between success
and failure. On this account the farm
er's machinery should be adapted to
covering large areas well In the short
time. This means either four-horse
machinery or tractors.
With these explanations it will be
seen that the non-irrigated farmers
working equipment must contain the
following:
Four or five good horses.
One quarter horse disk.
One quarter horse adjustable har-
row.
One quarter horse sulkey pillow or
deep tillage machine.
One walking pillow.
One grain drill hat can be adjusted
to seed grain, cain. millet. peas, etc.
Six to twenty milk cows.
Chickens, the more the better.
Hogs.
Small tools such as forks. hoes re-
pairing kit, etc.
One wagon.
One c~ultivator
One hayrack.
Some equipment is required which
may be owned individually or In part
nership with near ~neighbors. Among
these:
One binder or header.
One moving machine
One corn planter.
One hay rake.

NORTHERN MEXICO MAY
Be INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC
Plan to Establish Northern Republic
Has Been Seriously Considered
by Rebel Leaders.

Chihuahua, Mexico.-Sentiment is
growing among certain rebel headers
that If the attack on Torreon is de-
layed much longer, or if the federal
army succeeds in holding that city,
northern Mexico will detach itself
from the rest of the country and be-
come an Independent republic.
While General Carranza, the civil
head of the revolution, and General
Villa, the military head, disclaim any
intention to be satisfied with any
thing less than the overthrow of
st~itutionalist cause over the entire
country, it is known that the plan to
establish a northern republic has
been seriously considered by them
and others.
General Villas delay in the attack
from Mexico City that the federal
garrison has been strengthened to a
point where it can put up a formida-
BILE resistance, have given renewed
impetus to the idea of a separation
of the north from the south and Gen
eral Carranza's coming to Chihuahua
state from the Pacific coast is looked
upon as possibly ~portending an early
adoption of the plan.
Many rebel leaders profess to be.
lieve that whatever the outcome OF
the present revolution the north and
the south will not soon be complete
ly amalgamated. The north, they as
sert, already is politically independ
ent and has adopted a progressive at
titude wholly at variance to condi
tions in the south, where two fac
tions-the Indifferent aid the adher
ents of the old Diaz regime-predom
mate.

3ENEFIT BY WINTER FALLOW
Land Is Best for Crops and Accumu.
lates Most Moisture When Plowed
Deeply and Left Rough.

When land is plowed or disked in
the fall. leaving it in good shape to
conserve moisture, it is called the
winter fallow.
Winter fallowed land is the best for
spring crops and accumulates most
moisture when plowed deeply and left
In the rough until the frost leaves
the ground in the spring. AS soon as
this happens evaporation commences,
and the field should be smoothed w
with the harrow In order to mulch 1t.
When stubble fields are pastured to
cattle there Is not much loss of moist
ure, for enough dust is raised to I'LL
the cracks and prevent evaporation;
but as o o as the cattle are taken
of a good disking or blowing is Of
benefit When land is not plowed in
the fall and no cattle are on 1t, 1t
should be thoroughly disked to save
the winter moisture.
Land which is left all winter in a
packed, hard, cracked state will lose
moisture right along. sometimes
enough to make half a crop. Land
which blows will fallow nicely by leav-
ing it as plowed In the rough. with
the burrows always running across the
path lat the right angles) OF the
wind.
In c~ultivating or narrowing. the
same rule should be observed, and the
rougher the field the less the chance
Of blowing.
All spring grain crops should be
planted on fall plowed land, and if the
land settles heavily during the win
ter 1t will often pay to pillow again in
the spring. especially for such crops
as potatoes, scorn and beets.
Some good crops of corn this year
were made in spite of the dry spell by
blowing in the fall and listing across
the blowing in the spring. 1t is al
ways a help to a crop to pillow as much
ahead of planting time as possible tc
allow the soil to settle, and Absorb
some rain or snow. For this reasor
corr land plowed in March Is ahead
Of ground plowed in May or June, anC
will raise more crop.
When blowing is done the soil al
ways breaks up better and makes {
superior seed bed If the harrow fol
lows the pillow.
When a single a is used for boil
blowing and narrowing. all the lan'
plowed in the morning should be har
rowed before dinner, and all the liant
plowed in the afternoon narrowed be
fore supper.
A field which is left rough in tn
spring of the year. and not reduces
right away, is liable to prove yer,
lumpy and full of clods when harrow
ed two or three days after the pillow
ing, and If this happens u~navoidabl,
the only thing to do is to wait for
rain and harrow the clods when we
These remarks do not apply to tn

Watch Carefully
the Child'S Diet
Starr Them of Right With a Good
L0sonve and Then Watch
Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact Is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge it to take more of what Is quick
ly digested.
II the child shows a tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply a small dose OF the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need 1t
and all can use it. Thousands endorse
it, among them Mrs. M. e. Patten
