Cams Drv Humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain, Da-
vid Gam, was sent forward by Henry
V. to reconnoiter the French army be-
fore the battle Of AgincOurt he found
that the enemy outnumbered the Eng
lish by about five to one. His report
to the king is historic:
There are enough to be killed
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away
This quaint forecast Of the result OF
the battle at once spread through the
camp. and doubtless every yeoman
archer of the valiant company felt an
inch taller. We know that it was al
most literally justified by the event,

SAVE THE WATER.
Keep the Soil Supplied With Humus
and Mulch the Surface.

Keep the Soil Supplied WIKI numuS
and Mulch the Surface.
By saving the water from the early
rains crops will not suffer as much
later in the summer if drought occurs.
Usually more water is lost from the
soil by evaporation-tha is, drying out
from the surface. than crops use.
There are two chief ways of helping
to prevent this-namely. by keeping
the soil well supplied with organic
matter. or humus, and by maintaining
soil mulch over the surface. This
soil mulch or layer of loose dry soil
forms blanket, preventing the soil
water from reaching the surface where
evaporation is so rapid in hot or windy
weather.
Every gardener should start water
saving at once. If the newly plowed
land is disked thoroughly the same
day it is turned over there is less
chance of the burrows drying out badly
before the land is planted Newly
spaded land should be raked over the
same day the soil is turned.
After planting the use of weeder
breaks up the surface and kills many
weeds. The cultivator ought to be
started us soon as the rows can be seen
and used often enough to keep the sur
face fine, loose and dry.
Every rain or shower packs the sur
face soil, and unless broken up evap-
Grafton is very rapid from this COM
pact, moist surface. AS sooD as the
fields can be worked after a rain the
cultivator should be used tn re-estab-
lish the soil mulch. This frequent cul-
tivation not only saves water for plant
use, but also is an aid to plant growth
and a benefit to the soil.
Never be satisfied with cultivating
enough to kill the weeds. Cultivate
often enough to maintain throughout
the season a loose, dry layer of soil AT
the surface. Start soil mulch now
and maintain it all summer. 1t pays.
for it means more water for the crops
to use.

which promises to be grand thing

The community institute has
brought the business men of the city

Distilled Water.

Distilled water after having been ex-
posed to the air is one Of the most ga
lubrious of drinks. Its daily use In
measured quantities is helpful in cases
Of dyspepsia and greatly assists the
general functions Of the body. Every
large steamer carries water distillinG
apparatus by which sea water Is made
fresh. In the days before steamers
primitive distilling apparatus was used
on warships and vessels carrying pas

Protected Hav Entrance.

For convenience in drawing hay into
the barn the. porch shown herewith
will be found very satisfactory. The
boom from which the hayfork tackle
is suspended extends all the way out
to the gable end of the porch. Con-
venient dimensions for this porch are
ten feet each way. This will enable
the very largest forkful of hay to be
taken in without choking the entrance.

CITY PEOPLE AND FARMING.

The fatal mistake Of many city
people taking to farm life is a
, rush of enthusiasm before prop
erly planning the future life.
They give up good jobs. scant
of means. and perhaps they over
invest, depending upon their new
efforts and resources to meet ex-
penses that should have been
previously provided for

PEOPLE in the cities surrounding
Washburn have been doing a lot OF
worrying during the past week over
the reported rumors that the big
powder plant of the DUPONT company
was to have been blown up on
March 1st, and SO presistant did
these rumors become that large
daily papers throughout the North
west devoted column after column
to the threatened "blow-up' and
from every nook and corner OF the
north part of the state came reports
that strange aeroplanes had been
seen on different occasions.
The funny thing of it all was that
all of the aeroplanes were seen DUR
ing the small hours of the night,
the lights on the machines being
easily observable to the people who
had seen the machines and some
even reported being able to see the
occupants of the machine during
the night time"
1 The people in Washburn and the
employees and officials of the Du-
Point company have paid little heed
to the reported rumors and work at
the big plant has gone on as IT
nothing had been heard. One
or two individuals, it is said, did
Quit work on account of the rumors
but most of the employees laughed
at the idea.
No one seemed to realize that
aeroplanes must have a base and
from the stories one would think
that these machines could be carried
In a suit case to some lonely spot
and flights could be made in that
manner.
People outside of Washburn let
their better judgement carry them
away while the merchants in Wash
burn went on doing big business a.
usual and kept on rolling in the
sheckles brought here by the two
thousand men employed at the plant
while the other fellows did the
