PREPARE FOR WINTER

Winter with its cold disagreeable
weather is not many months away,
and the provident farmer is now
making preparations for that period.
He is repairing sheds and stables,
making room for the storage Of
feed. filling the silos and doing many
other tasks that will mean comfort
for himself and his live stock later
on. The weeks between wheat and
oats harvest and corn gathering
time are busy ones with most farm
ers, for there are numerous jobs
that can be done that have been
neglected through the summer.
This is the time when the roads can
be repaired or dragged, manure
hauled to the field and spread.
fences fixed, weeds moved, barn
yards drained, cement floors and
walks put down, straw baled and
put into the barn, etc. Every farm
er knows what should be done, even
though he does not get to it all.
Prepare now for the winter, is
good slogan.

SOIL DRAINAGE

The drainage Of wet soil is essen
TALLY an effort to provide better liv-
ing quarters for the countless BAG
terra which have their homes'there
and which labor so industriously
to help bring the crops grown
thereon into bearing. When soil
does not drain readily the spaces
between the soil particles which or
dinarily are filled with air become
chOked with water. This shuts off
the supply of oxygen, which the
nitrifying organisms need, if they
are to transform organic matter in
to nitrates and thus render the nj
trogen elements in the organic mat
ter in the soil available for plant
food. When crops on poorly drain
ed soil become yellow it is a sign
that they are not getting enough
nitrogen, even though the nitrogen
element is present in abundance.
The remedy is thing or ditching to
carry off the surplus water.
