cultivated fields rough and
corrugated at all times when a
crop is not growing on them,
THE LISTER
The lister is one of the best
implements for keeping the soil
rough SO that it will not blow,
and for putting the ground in
condition for accommodating and
holding the moisture. AS soon
as grain or forage crop is
removed from the land in sum.
mer or any crop in the fall, the
field should be disked immed
lately Then as soon as practic
able the land should be listed
deeply. The lister rows should
not be more than three and one.
half feet between centers Three
heavy horses with single lister
can cover eight acres day.
The deeper the lister is run,
the better. When run deeply
il throws the land into sharp
ridges, and this stops the move
ment Of the soil by the winds.
The loose dirt that is thrown by
the lister ON the ridges acts as
an efficient mulch to hold the
moisture.
The land should be- listed
early in the fall and kept riged
as listed through the winter.
The snow will accumulate in the
burrows and as it melts will
sink deeply in the ground and
be held there. With the average
amount OF snow, practically all
the moisture in it will be held in
the listed burrows. Where the
surface is level, the greater
proportions of the snow is blown
OH of the cultivated land. Deep
burrows hold the water that falls
IA the autumn and spring rains
until it is absor bed by the soil.
When winter and spring are
unusually dry, the land may be
lett in the spring just as it is
and the seed planted in the fur.

years the listed burrows will

Asst he dry land farmer cannot

losses of rainfall in the dry land

Is the fact that the roots OF the
growing plants fill the soil, bind its
surface particles and reduce teaching
to minimum. As fast as the plant
food becomes soluble, the roots OF
the growing plants utilize 1t and pre-
vent teaching by winter rains.
The fact that our open wet winters
when the lands are bare, is the largest
single factor in the depletion or our
soils should be continually stressed
but we should also rejoice continual
ly to know that we can utilize our
winter growing season in many coun-
ties for the growing Of such crops as
clovers and vetches.
The winter legumes not only furnish
some grazing, reduce washing and
teaching to a. minimum, but also
transfer nitrogen from the afr to the
soil to be used by succeeding crops,
fill the soil full OF much needed hui

How to Store Eggs for Use Next
Winter.

In the poultry-raising department
or the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside contributor writes a little
article telling how for twelve years
she has stored eggs when prices are
low for use and for sale when prices
are highest. She says that when she
sells her stored eggs i'm December,
January and February she receives
from two to three times as much for
them as they cost her. In the follow
ing extract taken from the little
article she describes how she stores
them, and markets them:
II store my eggs In large stone
ware crooks In a cellar or other cool
place where the temperature IL uni
form, and use solution in which to
pack the eggs by diluting one part of
silicate Of soda (water glass; with
twelve parts OF pure water. The
water IL boiled and then allowed to
cool before mixing in the water glass.
The water glass cost me about A.
to 30 cents per gallon when purchas-
ed from poultry-supply or mail-order
houses. This Is at the rate OF about
one cent dozen for the eggs thus
packed.
II find that there is no risk what
ever In storing eggs in this way, pro
vided nothing but clean-shelled eggs,
free from cracks, are packed the same
day they are laid"
