ALL AROUND
THE FARM
WINTER WHEAT HINTS.
Early Flowing an Essential to a Good
Crop Next Season.

Early Flowing an Essential to a Good
Crop Next Season.
Winter wheat succeeds best on corn
land. The best crops have been OBJ
tanned In many localities where the
winter wheat has been sown with
one horse drill about Sept. between
the rows of standing corn. In north
western Minnesota this method is re-
garded as the best. Winter wheat may
also properly follow some early crop
such as barley. early oats or early pO-
tatoes. 1t can follow wheat or late
oats, provided they are off the land
! early enough to permit blowing and
sowing I'm season.
! Early blowing of stubble land is es-
sential to a good crop. 1t is important
that contact be established as soon as
possible between the furrow slice and
the soil beneath. To facilitate this,
disking the stubble previous TO plow-
ing Is advisable when time will allow.
After blowing the land should be disk
ed and narrowed sufficiently TO firm the
soil and TO preserve the moisture. Such
treatment also helps to kill the weeds
and give good growing conditions. Dur
ing dry fall rolling or packing the
soil with a corrugated roller will help tc
insure termination and prompt growth
| After the rolling the land should
again be narrowed to leave IL loose and
slightly ridged on the surface. In some
places winter wheat Is sown with a
disk drill in standing wheat or oat stub
bic. The purpose Of sowing it in this
way is to gain the protection of the
stubble for the winter wheat. While
the stubble undoubtedly gives some pro
lection, this method cannot be generally
advised for the reason that wheat sown
in this way is likely TO be weedy and
sometimes terminates poorly. Sowing
in the stubble should be resorted to only
In extreme cases. 1t is essential that
the soil be in good condition, though ii
should not be rich enough to cause the
winter wheat to lodge. Wheat sown
ON corn land that has been MANFRED
year or two previously should give no
trouble from this cause.
Early sowing of winter wheat is adj
visable if not absolutely necessary in
securing stand. In Minnesota it should
be sown between Aug 20 and Sept. 10.
The earlier date is preferable. After
proper preparation Of the land the
grain is best sown with a drill. 1t
should be sown deep enough to insure
reaching moisture, an inch and a half
to two inches being the usual depth.
At least a bushel and half Of seed is
required per acre, and indications are
that better stand and greater likeli-
hood Of living over winter will be Sc
cured If bushel and three-Quarters or
two bushels Of seed are used Some
thing would depend on the quality Of
the seed, the size Of the kernels and its
purity. One and three-quarters bushels
per acre should be regarded as the prop
er seeding. - Andrew Boss, University

Tanning an Elephant.

In Ceylon the natives capture wild
elephants by lassoing them and tying
their hind legs to trees. Thus tied, they
are left to struggle for four or i've
days. If the ropes be well secured and
knOtted the animals struggle in vain,
Cor they are unable to exert their full
strength toward getting free. When
they have grown tired Of the fruitless
fight they are tied by the neck between
two tame elephants and marched off
to the tea plantations or the railroad,
where they are put to work. Under the
tuition of tame elephants they learn
rapidly to perform the labor that Is re-
quired Of them and soon are able to lay
railroad ties accurately.

Breakfast as Dinner.

In France they take cup Of coffee
and roll on rising. Their hearty break.
fast is eaten at IL 80 or u and dinner
at about 1880. Professor Bergonie is
urging them to eat hearty breakfast
at 1880 a. m. and nothing more until
dinner at g. He advises that the prin-
ing and that the evening meal be only
a light repast.
When he put these suggestions before
the Academy of Sciences recently other
members asked who would cook a
hearty meal before 1880 a. m. and OBJ
jected that no one had any appetite on
getting out of bed and that appetite
was necessary to good digestion.

STRAW A VALUABLE FEED.
Excellent Roughaee For Horses, Sheer
and Beef Cattle.

dHO 0SeI Sdbhc'
Burn no straw this fall.
Every ounce of straw is always of
value, and this year it will be of great
er value than usual
1t is needed for livestock. because
the roughage crop is short.
Straw may be used in the feed ration
for horses. sheep and rougher cattle
with silage and a small amount OF
grain. This cheapens the ration and
saves good hay and grain for other
uses.
Liberal bedding with straw, if it is
plentiful, also increases the amount OF
manure to be applied to the soil. Less
Of the fertility elements in liquid ma
nure are lost and bedding with more
costly material is made unnecessary.
The stock are made more comfortable
and hence more productive. The fer
tiliy value at normal prices Of the fer
tilizer elements amounts to about So a
ton for wheat straw and 81 tom for
oat straw. At present abnormal prices
this is increased several times AT
least 20 per cent OF this should be saved
by proper conservation.
Thrashing straw in the barn or baling
it before unsettled weather comes are
excellent ways. of conserving. Other
wise straw should be stacked where 1t
will be easily accessible for winter use.
Not an ounce of straw should be burn
ed this fall.-F. w. Peck. Minnesota

Harrow Stubble Land.

AS soon as grain Is removed from
the fields they should be narrowed to
make dust mulch to prevent undue
loss of moisture and to keep the land
from baking or crusting over. If it
bakes. which it will do in hot, dry
weather, 1t will break up into clods
when plowed and be very hard to put
in good shape for planting. Unless ii
is to be plowed right away, while
there is a good season in the land. 1t
should be narrowed with a disk har-
row. so that it will break up well If
it gets dry before all can be plowed.

Harvesting Tomatoes.

The picking Of tomatoes at just the
proper time-when the color is red, but
when the fruit is not overripe-is very
essential. Ketchup or canned toma-
toes with n rich red color sell much
more readily than do those that were
put up before they were properly ma
turcd. In many varieties the fruit re
tains the greenish color until 1t Is too
ripe to be marketed, and In this case 1t
must be remembered that soundness v
preferable TO color.

CONVERTING A

From the New York Tribune.
While the desire of the British SOW

OF the Irish problem is undoubtedly
shared by all parties. there is no al
chemy by which it is possible to bring
about harmony in a week or month.
Mr.. Lloyd George speaks hopefully OF
converting Ireland from suspicious,
surly, dangerous neighbor to a cheer

land have been suffered to drift so
long that the task is far more com
pick than it was three years ago.
If it were only a question of recon

but it is idle to pretend that the
differences in Ireland are as simple as
they were before the war. What
might have passed as settlement ther
would hardly satisfy the element thai

Mr. Redmond and his party have NJ
credit with the extremists. The re
