SOILS MUST
HAVE GOOD DRAINAGE
BY ALL MEANS

Texture (the size of the Individual
soil grains) cannot be readily changed.
Structure (the arrangement of the
soil grains) can be modified by tillage,
drainage and organic matter.
Texture, structure and humus de
termine the absorption and retention
of water.
Deep blowing increases absorption
of plant food.
Shallow cultivation conserves moist
ure.
Soils must have good drainage and
aeration.
Drainage will lengthen the growing
season and increase the available
moisture supply.
Alkali, which is the result of poor
drainage, may be removed by flood
ing and drainage.
Excessive irrigation Injuries soils
and crops.
Crop adaptation depend on climate
an don soil conditions.
Soil surveys are foundations for
crop investigations.-By c. f. Shaw

GOVERNMENT FEED
RATION FOR
VOTING CHICKS

The young chicks may be fed any
time after they are thirtysix to forty
eight hours old, whether they are with
a hen or a brooder, say Government
poultry specialists. The first feed
may contain either hard-boiled eggs,
johnny cake, stale bread, pinhead oat-
meal, or rolled oats, which feeds or
combinations may be used with good
results. Washes mixed with milk are
of considerable value in giving the
chickens good start in life, but the
mixtures should be fed in crumbly
mass and not in sloppy condition.
After the chickens are two months
old they may be fed four times daily,
and after three months old three times
daily, with good results.
Johnny cake, composed of the fol
lowing ingredienst in the proportions
named, is very good feed for young
chicks: One dozen infertile eggs or
one pound of sifted beef scrap to ten
pounds of cornmeal; add enough milk
to make pastry mash, add one tea
spoon of baking soda. Dry bread
crumbs may be mixed with hard
boiled eggs, making about one-fourth
of the mixture eggs, or rolled oats
may be used in place of the bread
crumbs. Feed the bread crumbs, roll
ed oats, or johnny cake mixtures five
times daily for the first week, then
gradually substitute for one or two
feeds OF the mixture finely cracked
grains of equal parts by weight of
cracked wheat, finely cracked corn
and pinhead oatmeal or hulled oats, to
which about per cent of cracked peas
or broken rice and 2 per cent OF char
coal, millet or rape seed may be added
A commercial chick food may be sub
stituted if desired. The above ration
can be fed until the chicks are two
weeks old, when they should be placed
on grain and dry or wet mash mix
ture.
After the chicks are ten days old
good growing mash. composed of
two parts by weight of bran, two parts
middlings, one part cornmeal one part
low grade wheat flour or red-dog
-four, and 10 per cent sifted beef scrap,
may be placed in a hopper and left
before them at all times. The mash
may be fed either wet or dry; if wet,
only enough moi Stiire (either milk or
water) should be added to make the
feed crumbly but in no sense sloppy.
When this growing mash or mixture
is not used a hopper containing bran
should be accessible to the chickens
at all times.

TIME TO SPRAY TREES

In speaking of the evil of spraying
trees while in blossom, Prof. H. A.
Surface, among other things very de-
cidedly says: mo trees, shrubs,
bushes or vines of any kind should
ever be sprayed while in bloom" To
do so is liable not only to injure the
fruit and thus help to destroy the
crop but also kill the bees and other
insects that are absolutely essential
in carrying pollen from fruit to fruit,
and thus help fertilize the blossoms
and insure a crop.

SUMMER FALLOW is FAVORED
Keep Land Free From Weeds During
Uncropped Season and Till to Pre-
vent Formation OF Crust.

The success of dry farming has been
dependent on following out certain
well defined practices. One OF the
practices found most necessary Is the
summer fallow. by which crops are
raised only during alternate years and
the land titled during the uncropped
summer in order to aid In holding the
moisture. Some farmers think that
If they leave the land uncropped they
are doing all that is necessary. They
allow the weeds to grow in great pro-
fusion. These remove much mois.
ture as a crop, SO nothing has really
been gained by the so-called fallow.
The only safe way is to keep the land
free from weeds during the uncropped
year and to TIL often enough to pre-
vent the formation of crust. Tillage
should begin early or the weeds can.

DOES TILLING AID RAINFALL?
No More Moisture Could Be Evapo-

Had Already Fallen az Rain.

Many very optimistic persons have
been comforting themselves with the
idea that the arid conditions in the
West will be improved by increasing
rainfall as a result OF tilling a larger
acreage OF land. Such persons claim
to have seen 4 change in climate in
kaLcas and Texas from this cause.

the one crop system OF farming is
kept up.
New England Farms.
The same thing. only carried stage
further, has occurred in the New Eng
land states. Since 1883 there have
been S79.499 acres abandoned. These
areas have become exhausted largely
through the loss OF humus and the dis
sipation of nitrogen consequent upon
grain and potato growing. without any
due return of organic matter.
Thus, 1t is evident that within COM
paratiyely few years, unless this loss
Is stopped by the adoption OF a sys-
TEN OF rotation involving the forma-
tion OF sod and by the keeping OF
stock. II will inevitably lead to that
low degree of productiveness which is
already common in some sections. II

by the mistakes of their predecessors
their problem will only be the main
tenance of fertility instead oil increas-
ing II in the years to come. Obvious
ly the cost in time and cash and labor
of maintaining fertility will be infinite
ly less than of increasing 1t. This is
no longer a pioneer age, and it be-
comes necessary to abandon pioneer
practices and consider the future az
well as the present
Fertility can be maintained and even
Increased without the use OF CONNER
cial fertilizers, but the farmer must
realize that the essentials for such
procedure are rotation of crops in
which leguminous crops take an i'm.

crops in the form of animal products,
and the return to the land OF the or.

SLAGE IN WINTER
HELPS LIVE STOCK
There is a Tendency Among
Farmers to Forget Resolution
to Construct SiIo.

tBy PROF. C. LARSEN. North Dakota
Agricultural College)
A great many farmers make reso-
lutions during the wintertime that
they will not go through another win.
ter without silage to feed the stock.
When the cornstalks are in the fields
covered with snow, the feed for the
stock is getting short, the cows are
losing in milk, and the young stock
in flesh. such resolutions come easy.
but when spring and summer come on
and cows and young stock are doing
well in the pasture. and when there
are good prospects for big crop yield
there is a tendency to forget about
the resolution made during the winter
about the building of siIo.
Do not let rosy prospects for a good
crop delay or prevent anyone from
building silo. Build silo of some
kind. II we have good crop the silo
will help to make more OF il. II we
have small crop it is still more i'm
portant that we preserve some good
winter feed for the stock.
1t is not question of the kind OF
silo. No one will be prepared to say
which is the best silo. There is no
one silo that has all Of the good points
But any silo has enough good points
to make it paying investment. Re
sides, it is so much more comfortable
to take care of cows and stock with
silos. The writer now has lis tons OF
silage left. This will be fed to the
cows during the summertime. There
viii be no pasture for the cows. That
will be plowed up to be put into corn
to fill more silos-and more silage will
make room for still more cows. Those
who build a silo and keep cows and
young stock will never regret it.
