Success In farming is limited only
by the amount of energy and brains
which our western tillers of the soil
are willing to expend. The studious
farmer is the successful farmer OF
today. This is true In all branches
OF agriculture. but particularly so in
the cultivation of semi-arid lands on
the plains where obstacles have been
most intricate and difficult to sur
mount The solution Of many prob
lens is attributed to the study Of in
dividuals and their success to the
willingness of the farmer to utilize
science and knowledge.
These successes may be accredited
to basic rules in the tillage of soil
which are applicable to all forms Of
farming. Briefly they consist Of care
iiful and deep plowing. in the prepara-
tion of the soil for the reception Of
moisture, and later of keeping
the top dry and loose. This produces
a condition in which capillary action
in the dry. hot months brings chemi-
cal changes conducive to high plant
growth through combination OF
moisture, air and heat. A subsoil Of
clay intermixed with sand is prefer
able over others. because 1t holds
moisture better yet permits the el
trance of small amounts of air so hec-

ture to the plants through the heat

two or three inches deep. kept loose
and dry on top throughout the growth
of the crops. completes the plan for
thwarting failure in summers of
drouth.
Important results have been obtalr-
ed by the planting of crops mRny
weeks after the generally accepted
time for sowing. In many expert
ments | have found that corn, cane.

brought product of finer fiber. high
er protein content and consequently
greater value as stock food than the
same seed sown in April or May.
Cattle show preference for this late
crop. which is proof sufficient to show
the advisability of later planting.
Too liberal an amount of seed on
an acre | am convinced is RESPONSE
BILE for more failures than any other
one cause. II is plain that two seeds
require double the amount of moist
ure that one needs. and generally It
follows that one would produce more
heavily than two where the moisture
is limited. The exact amount OF seed
to be planted should be the subject OF
close study by every farmer. bearing
in mind the necessity of considering
the amount Of moisture available

BARBER CUT OFF
 LEGS WITH RAZOR
Old Time Surgery Compared to Modern Methods and
 Practices of Today

Barbers were the first surgeons, accord ing to history. If it was necessary to take off leg a barber with his razor did it. Some barbers still practice sur gerry to a limited extent, but they are not popular.
 It is a long stride from that day to the surgery and medicine of the present. The study of both are now largely d study of nature. Nature is admittedly the greatest doctor of all. An illustration of this is found in the new earth product. Vitalitas, which abounds in natural forces and curative properties that there is no man-made medicine to compare with it as a corrective and tonic. Vitalitas is free of any harmful ingredient and it is artagonistic to disease conditions of the body.
 Vitalitas acts upon weakened or dis eased tissues, enrches the blood, tones the system and restores healthful func- tions generally; it adds vitality wherever il is lacking; it assists nature in forcing away stomach and nerve disorders. rheu- natisn, derangements of liver. kidneys bowels and blood. You will find it won derfully effective. View the Vitalitas dis play now in progress at Averyts drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street. or write there for information.
