THIN CULTIVATION IS URGED
Loose Soil Serves as Mulch and Con. serves Moisture-one Way of
 Farming at Loss.

Water moves slowly through loose soil and loose soil will, therefore serve as mulch and conserve moist ure. This is one of the reasons for shallow cultivation. Killing weeds putting the land in better physical condition and furnishing modes of entrance for oxygen and nitrogen are other reasons. Failure to culti- vate properly is one way of farm Ing at a loss. Full particulars as to the best cultural methods for any crop may be obtained by applying to your local demonstration agent or to the extension division, Clemson Col lege, South Carolina.

is used, which, of course, includes rigid adherence to specific directions framed to ensure safety and efficiency.
 In order that it may be lasting as well as efficient, it seems almost nec- essary that a dip should be poisonous, and such a dip by remaining in the fleece, will, if employed in the early part of the season, confer immunity from the ''hy" attack to a very great extent, as well as prevent the develop ment of the larvae.
 Carbolic dips and other preparations of coal tar, although quite equal to killing any vermin which the sheep may harbor, are certainly very eva nescent and their odor, on which they depend for deterring the fly" is quickly dissipated
 As they are nonpoisonous and do not remain long in the wool, they do not poison the maggots.
 Sprinkling is very much akin to dipping, the same solution being used. It is practiced when it is not conven- tent to dip each sheep separately and secures the saturation of the fleece at parts most likely to be struck"
 The removal of dirty locks of wool and the trimming of the soiled parts is imperative.
 These precautions, however, will not always suffice, for the yoke of the wool will prove sufficient attraction unless poisoned or rendered distasteful to the fly and the pest will sometimes strike, especially on hot days, and when there is thunder in the air.
 Powdering the fleece used to be the fayorite method of prevention, but dip ping OF sprinkling with fluid prepara- ton has largely superseded it as be- ing more economical, as well as more efficient.
 Ely powders consist for the most part of mixtures of sulphur, arsenic, powdered hellebore, white lead, alum, cinnabar of antimony, prepared chalk, umber, American bole and whale oil in various combinations and propor- tions, and some old-fashioned farmers will cling to the use of such agents, but they are not nearly so effective as a reliable dip.

TOO MUCH WATER KILLS
 PLANTS
By LIMA R. ROSE.


 More plants in the window garden are killed every year by overwatering than in any other way Some persons labor under the delusion that water must be applied daily, and the conse- quence is their plants are literally drowned out, unless they happen to have the best drainage.
 Others go on the "little-and-often" plan--that is, they apply water in small quantities whenever they hap pen to think of it.
 The result is the surface of the soil is kept moist and from this the owner takes it for granted that the soil be- meath must be properly damp.
 Nine times out of ten examination will show that an inch or two below the surface the soil is dry. Of course the roots of the plants cannot do their work under such conditions. The plant soon sickens and eventually dies and the owner wonders what caused the trouble.
 Now, in watering plants several things have to be considered. First, the nature of the plant. Some like a good deal of water, others only mod crate amount.
 Second, the soil. A close, loamy soil dries out slowly, therefore it will not require as frequent or as large appli- cations as a light porous soil from which moisture evaporates rapidly.
 Third, location and exposure must be taken into consideration. Plants in the sun or a very warm place, will need good deal more water than those in full or partial shade or low temperature.
 Fourth, the size of the pot must be reckoned with The soil in large pot will not dry out for two or three days. but the soil in small pot will become quite dry every day
 Fifth. a dormant plant requires but little water. It is not in a condition to make use of much water and an oversupply of it will surely result in harm. When the plant begins to grow then increase the quantity and propor- tion this to the development made.
 All these things must receive due consideration by the amateur who would know how to care for his or her plants intelligently.
 Study them. Experiment with them. In this way you soon become familiar with the individuality of each one and you will be able to give to each the care it needs.
 We are often asked for some rules for watering plants. It is impossible to make any rule that can be followed strictly.
 The only rule have ever been able to give is this: When the surface of the soil looks dry, water. Use enough to thoroughly saturate all the soil in the pot
 You can tell about this by the es-

(By g. M. MILLER. Illinois)
 The best possible care and feed for the young lambs on our farm is given through their mothers, and to this end I aim to have the ewes in the finest possible condition up to the weaning time. By this, do not mean fat, but in good flesh and strong and hearty for their ration at every feeding time.
 My lambs are fed no grain until they are three and half to four months old, when they are weaned. They will be fed sufficient amount of grain next fall and winter to keep them in good condition and thrifty, shorn early and turned to grass and sold the first of June, when they will be about fourteen months old.
 They will still be lambs, as they will not have shed their lamb teeth, will bring lamb prices and will have made the greater part of their flesh on grass.
 1 do not consider it as profitable to raise sheep for wool as for mutton, but the two are so closely connected that they can hardly be considered separately.
 It is possible to grow a good, heavy fleece on mutton carcass, and the sheep with which this can be done is altogether the most desirable sheep for the average farmer to raise.
 It is poor individual that will not grow wool enough to pay for it's keep ing, leaving the mutton as profit, and with a good, big, heavy-shearing sheep, it is possible to realize a profit on the wool, making in this way the two sources of profit.
 While the expense of maintaining a flock of sheep is hardly noticeable, the addition to the income from few lambs and the animal fleeces is very welcome.
 The sheep raiser who puts his de pendence in the best breeds and goes ahead to produce as valuable a nut ton carcass and as good a fleece of wool as is possible, is pretty sure to come out all right.
 The ''poison" bogy frightens some, but properly prepared poisonous dips are perfectly safe, if the ordinary care

COMMUNITY BREED IN FAVOR
Efforts Being Made to Further Move nnent in Various LocaIities-Has
 Many Advantages.

The advantage of having one breed or hogs Tn the community is now rec ognized and efforts are being made in various localities to promote local organizations for the purpose of fur thering the movement. When a large number of well-bred hogs of the same pred are to be found in one locality, community organization Is possible which will create a new interest in breeding and feeding, and teach the members to take advantage of their opportunities. Many other advantages follow, such as buying breeding stock or feed comparatively when necessary. advertising stock for sale and in con trolling diseases.

one that has not been thoroughly renovated either by growing a crop of grass, oats or rye, or one that has been thoroughly spaded up, raked and rolled down. Of course very few chicken raisers go to this trouble but nevertheless if one is to have perfect success this is absolutely necessary.
 If young chickens have been treated as described above and are given the run of a clean yard and the oppor- tunity to get out into the garden and in the grass they will not be troubled with gapes or vermin. When young chicks once become infested with lice it is almost impossible to rid them of the pests. If the large head lice are allowed to get start on young chick ems they will kill them in a very short time.

GOOD TREATMENT FOR COLDS
Equal Parts of ZenoIeum and Kerosene Are Recommended-Give Epson
 Salts in Mash.

Labored breathing, wheezing, rat ting in the throat, gaping and sneez- ing, are symptoms of colds in the flock. When birds showing these symptoms are discovered they should be removed from the flock and treated. Use equal parts of zenoleum and kero- sene or equal parts of kerosene ana sweet oil, immersing the heads of the birds in the mixture or injecting small amounts of it into the nostrils and mouth. Epson salts should be given in q moist mash also, while the birds are under treatment.

PLANT SUMMER LEGUME CROP
cowpeas, Soy or Velvet Beans Should Be Sown as Soon as Oats and
 Wheat Are Harvested.

As fast as the oat and wheat crops are taken from the fields some summer legume like cowpeas, soy or velvet beans should be planted. Such seeds are plentiful and cheap this year and no stubble, or other land, should be allowed to lie idle through the sum- mer. An application of from POO to 400 pounds of 16 per cent acid phos- phate should be made as these crops, and all other legumes as well, require a great deal of phosphorus.

A BETTER STOMACH
and LIVER FOR YOU

It's bad blood that makes your ,-ver
sluggish and the same bad blood causes
your stomach muscles to lose their

and that means indigestion.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, purely vegetable and free from al
cohol or narcotics, is the great and
powerful blood purifier of to-day.
Take it as directed and it will search
out impure and poisonous matter In
the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys
and drive it from the system through
the natural channels.

muscles, and dissolve the poisonous ac-
cumulations. 1t will replace all the bad
blood it drives out, with rich, pure
blood full of vital force. 1t will furnish

creases energy and ambition, that puts
the entire body in such perfect physi-
cal condition that brain or muscles
know no fatigue.
1t will clear the skin: eczema, pirl-
pies, rash, blotches will dry up and dis
appear; boils, carbuncles and other
evidences of tainted blood will pass
away never to appear again.

of some of the students TO prepare
their lessons on that day. Another
