DRY FARMING HERE TO STAY
Many Farmers Have Proved That II
10 Success-Thousands Of Acres
of Land Still Available.

Dry farming has come to stay. Many
farmers have proved that 1t is sue
cess. Some have failed, 1t is true, but
their failure has been due to one of
two causes-either the land was poor
ly adapted to dry farming, or improper
methods of farming were practiced.
There is considerable land in the
semiarid regions that is not good dry
farm land, and probably never can be
successfully dry farmed. But on the
other hand, there are thousands of
acres of splendid land yet available
which are capable of producing profit
able crops under scientific dry farm
methods.
1t is of the utmost Importance, how
ever, to follow out these methods most
carefully. Often a fence, or only a
division line, separates the man who
Is dry farming at a profit from the
man who is losing money. If you will
study the difference carefully you will
find that one is more thorough than
the other in his operations. He plows
deep and at the right time, he keeps
down weeds, maintains a mulch to
conserve moisture and selects good,
clean seed of the right kind.

Mack Sennett was going to the San

There was nothing to do but sit by

Mack settled down for a three-hour

Famous Feats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who while
riding at gallop, could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re.
markable as this archery was, 1t did
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock, Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance of
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
field near that capital Ais yards
against the wind. The secretary of
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions of surprise from the Eng
fish gentlemen present, said the Sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance of modern days.
but pillar standing on a plain near
Constantinople recorded shots rang

was present when the Sultan shot an
arrow 972 yards.-Washingt Star.

MASON AND DIXON'S LINE
Popular Misapprehension as to Mean
ing Of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

very Incorrect is the general belief
That Mason and Dixon's line, as orig
nally laid OF, divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary, 1t ran for one-third of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same, the actual Mason and
1xon's line was as much synonym
1or trouble and dissension in its day
as was the figure of speech to which
IN after years it gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Tin that looked-for day of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled
Dr, John Wyeth's recent prophecy
that When the people of the South
and the North get together they will
forget there was ever Mason and
D1xon's line."-Southern Womans

DEEP FLOWING is ESSENTIAL
Many Farmers Do Not Understand
Necessity of Preparing Good Seed
Bed-Packer Is Needed.

Deep blowing is essential in all dry
farming countries. The use of the
subsurface packer or some other i'm
plement that will pack the furrow
slice firmly down against the subsoil
again, also is necessary. Too many
farmers do not understand the neces.
sity of preparing a perfect seed bed.
They are inclined to pillow and harrow
the ground with the single purpose in
view of getting loose dirt to cover the
seed This is a mistake, for loose
dirt is only an incident in the prepare
ton of seed bed and may have but
little relation to moisture conservation
which is, after all, the essential thing
in all semiarid countries.

FACTS ABOUT SUDAN GRASS
One Remarkable Thing 10 That No
body 10 Knocking lt-Excess A.
Drought ResIstino Crop.

There ia one remarkable thing about
Sudan grass; nobody is knocking IT,
When feterita appeared the hammers
were Immediately taken up, and that
really splendid grain crop for thin SOIL
and dry years had to battle its way 10
the front. which it did in magnificent
shape. Sudan grass and feterita are
really companion crops; the one Tor
hay and the other for grain. They
are both easily more drought-resistant
than any OF the previously known
sorghums.
A conservative estimate OF Sudan
grass is that it is decidedly higher In
feeding value to cane hay. while at
the same time possessing the advan-
tage OF being finer and easier handled.
At least two crops can be cut In an
average year. 1t stools more prolin-
cally than any other crop, and conse-
quently less feed is required. Its
feeding value is superior to prairie
hay, timothy or any OF the known
sorghums, but not equal to alfalfa. 1t
can be made to serve as pasture
crop, with good results. Its ability
to make good crop under conditions
which no other crop except possibly
feterita can withstand should not be
overlooked. Apparently there Is only
one caution to be exercised in taking
hold Of Sudan grass, and that Ia to
look out for Johnson grass, which is
very similar in appearance, and which
Is pest except where it freezes out

ALL SEEK FOR HAPPINESS
The One Thing for Which Mankind
May Be Said to Have a Univer-
sal Desire.

We cannot pick and choose the
happenings of life any more than we
can select the circumstances of our
birth and death; we are but creatures
OF a wonderful destiny directed by
the Almighty. 1t Is said that many
tragedies of life might be averted if
we took our medicine like men, and
did not put our personal happiness
above everything else. 1t is as nat
ural and to be expected to long for
happiness and cling to it as for the
flowers to turn to the sun. Happiness
Is the great lamp of life which lights
our way through all sorts of shad-
ows-shadows that blur the vision
and make long nights of our days,
shadows that terrify by their gro-
tesque shapes and threatening as
poets, and shadows that bury in their
depths much that we hold most DEAR
We are jealous of our happiness and
guard it as the most precious thing
In life and when we watch it go down
the long aisles of memory further
and further away from our yearning
eyes we begin to plead for it, and
strive for it, and fight for it, We
batter the walks of the past In our
vain efforts to call it back before it
Is too late, and spend long days and
waste precious strength in the futile
endeavor to clutch it back to our
hearts And all the while. perhaps
right at our hands within easy reach
happiness in new guise stands ready.

We and the British Have Sweet Tooth,

Britons have the sweetest tooth, and
Americans come next, if the Stats
tics for consumption of sugar mean
anything. An Englishman eats annu-
ally 92.4 pounds, an American con-
sumes 1872 pounds. In Denmark the
average consumption is 1875 pounds
per capita; in Switzerland it is So

STA, 1873; in Portugal, 1874; in Spain
and Turkey, IL; in Italy, Bulgaria,
Roumania and Serbia, from 6 to 7

The principal reason for these varia
tons is found in the relative highness
or lowness of the customs duties on
sugar and on the things with which it
is commonly associated-coffee, tea,

1t is true that nature and woman q
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination Of drugs ever COM

Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
