Got Out of the pifffcuIty.

Some time ago local corps was re-
viewed by Sir Ian Hamilton, and there
is story told that one of the officers
was mounted on horse that had pre-
viously distinguished itself in q
bakery business.
A wag in the crowd is supposed to
have recognized the horse, for he
shouted out, "Bakeri" The horse
promptly stopped dead, and nothing
could urge it on. The situation was
getting painful, when the officer was
struck with a brilliant idea. and re-
marked, within hearing of his steed:
mot today, thank you"
The procession then moved on with
out further delay.-London Mail

COVER FOR THE STRAWBERRY
mulch Needed to Prevent Damage
From Alternate Thawinq and
Freezing and Winter DROUGHT.

Covering strawberry plants is al
ways essential in the semiarid climate.
Among the materials suitable for the
purpose are straw, slough-grass, sor-
ghum, alfalfa, leaves, corn stalks, ma
nure, etc. The most satisfactory GOV.
ering Is clean straw and wheat or rye
straw Is more satisfactory than oat
straw. Be sure that it is free from
the seeds of troubles ONE weeds. A
hne and clean-kept berry bed is often
made foul by having weed seed plant
ed in it from the winter covering.
Slough hay makes a very satisfac-
tory covering when it may be had, but
as 1t Is rather coarse and is apt to
give trouble it is hardly as desirable
as straw. In many localities where
neither straw nor slough grass may
be obtained in sufficient quantities,
sorghum and corn are often used.
Protection is ne ,ded for two DUR
poses The first is to prevent killing
by excessive freezing. This is not tho
principal one In this country, how
ever. as especial attention is needed
to prevent loss or damage from, the
alternate freezing and thawing as we'll
as the winter drought.

INSURE ROTTING OF MANURE
To Keep Up the Fertility Of tho Dry
Soils, More Humus-Produclno
Crops Must Be Grown.

Many years in the dry region of the
West there is too little rainfall to in
sure thorough rotting Of the manure.
This of course means that in the drier
years the MANFRED soils will dry out
badly. causing the crops to fire from
drought. If the vegetable matter of
the manure has been rotted sufficient
ly to produce humus the soil is all the
better able to resist the dry period.
To keep up the fertility and drought
resisting quality Of our dry soils it Is
necessary to grow crops which pro-
duce more humus than they consume.
The grasses, alfalfa, and sweet clover
are such crops. What barnyard ma
nure is produced can be more profit
ably used as top dressing for these
crops. This can be accompanied by
system of crop rotation, in which
grasses, alfalfa or peas alternate, as
pastures or meadows with the cult
waited crops.

BEST SOILS FOR DRY FARMS
Sits and Sandy Loans Do Not Blow
Readily and They Absorb and Re-
tain Moisture Well.

by ALVIN kESER. Colorado Agricui-
turai College, Fort Collins. Colo)
Inc oess soil for nonirrigated farm
ing are silts and sandy loans, as
they do not readily blow, they absorb
rainfall readily and retain 1t we'll
They do not bake and crack easily.
Heavier soils such as the CLAWS and
adobes are more difficult to work and
require more effort to prepare and
keep them in shape for the retention
and reception Of moisture.
No matter what the texture, the soil
must be deep and uniform. A soil
consisting of sandy loan or silt sur
face, over permeable clay subsoil,
Is good, but layer OF sand, gravel,
magnesia, gypsum. hardpan or porous
rock in the subsoil, closer than six
feet to the surface, practically makes
the field unfit for this purpose One
loot depth of soil will rarely store
more than one and one-half or two
inches OF rainfall or water. Six feet
OF soil will not store over twelve
inches of rainfall.
A soil which will not store a con-
siderable number of inches of rain
fal will not stand long, dry spells.
ard these are expected to occur In

MANY BENEFITS OF FLOWING
Stirs Surface of Soil Thoroughly and
Puts II in Condition to Catch
Any Rain That Comes.

From tests that have been made
blowing has been better for storing
moisture than disking. II heavy rains
fall the increase In moisture con-
tent of plowed land over disked land
is greater. This is to be expected,
since the blowing stirs the surface
of the soil more thoroughly, and puts
1t in better condition to catch any
rain that comes. The blowing also
will kill all weeds.
The disk does not in all cases do
this. 1t may be preferable-if a soil
does not blow when 1t is fall plowed
to pillow the stubble fields instead Of
disking them. This. however, is fire.
quently impracticable, due to the dry
ness Of the soil. Listing the soil has
been almost as good as blowing. We
have not, however. made many tests
to determine the effect of listing.-Ns.
