HER HUSBANDS CLOSET.
And What the Grateful Wife Said and
Did When She Saw IL.

Lilo WUeu 0To SdW lie
There was once husband who
dreamed Of having closet all his own.
He dreamed Of place where he could
go at night and find things just the
same as they were in the morning. He
dreamed OF place in which he did not
occupy with his timid little two suits
a remote hook, while all the rest of the
circumambient space was filed with
well, what every husband knows. He
dreamed, and he said, II will take ad-
vantage Of my wife's absence and hire
a carpenter and a locksmith and fix
that closet up to suit myself and put
on 1t an impregnable lock and key, and
then 1 shall laugh softly and say, AT
last the great day has GOMEZ"
And he did it.
And when that night his wife came
home and saw the work that he had
done, she said:
where is that keyY
And the husband, trembling-for he
was no Bluebeard-produced 1t forth
with. And when she saw the ample
space within she fell on his neck and
said:
my darling, the four new frocks ]
have bought this day, and the crepe de
chine party wrap, and the fur lined
Mother Hubbard, and the others-your
thoughtfulness has provided for"
And the man went out In the garage
and hanged his dress suit there-as he
had been wont to do-and sighed to
himself. saying, Good night life.

BILE If 1t stops or prevents growtl'
Of weeds. But If the growing season
is past dead weeds may catch moro
snow than would be caught by cul
tivated surface.
Fall disking. or listing. Is usually
beneficial In putting the land in bet
ter condition to prevent the soil from
blowing, to hold the snow and to pre-
vent runoff. The penetration of mois-
ture is slow. and when rains occur evap.
grafton is rapid from hard soil sur
faces. such as usually follow the grow
ing of small grain. The chances Of
storing moisture are increased by locs-
ening such compact surfaces as early
as possible. Whether blowing is nee
essary. however. depends very much
upon the type Of soil. Most heavy clay
soils are best put In proper condition
by blowing. Sandy or light loan soils
should not be plowed In the fall and
left bare during the winter In regions
where soil blowing is likely to occur.
II however it becomes advisable to
plow such soils in the fall, blowing OF
the plowed area may be checked by
top dressing with barnyard manure.
Deep blowing should always be done
in the fall or very early in the spring
to allow more moisture to penetrate
and the soil to settle before planting
time.
On sloping land the blowing, listing
and cultivating should follow on & level
along the slopes or around the hills.
The moisture saved makes this n
profitable practice, and very often the
prevention OF runoT is necessary to
avoid erosion, with the loss OF the
richest portions Of the soil.
Alfalfn land to be prepared for corn
should be fallowed one year or plowed
early the previous summer.
Growing plants draw large quaint
ties Of water from the soil and sub
soil. All growth of weeds and volun-
teer grain on land to be planted to
corn should be prevented.
Deep blowing and subsoiling should
be done in the fall rather than AZ
corn planting time. Soil put In the
right condition to take in moisture to
a considerable depth is also open to
the air and dries out rapidly. If nee
essary to plow in the spring for corn
the blowing should be done early and
should not be deep, and the ground
should be packed Immediately. Plow'
ing under several inches of snow is an
effective and sometimes practicable
way of getting moisture into the
ground.

JAPANESE STRATEGY.
me Clever Way . Willy Old Warrior
Deceived the Enemy.

oSviSoo tne Enemy.
Many man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like a trap to him. Here is an
instance in which this trait Of human
nature was cleverly played upon by a
japanese nobleman.
The old lord had been forced to fee
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead Of his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand, and he knew that If an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
ly. and scouts rode up near the castle
to reconnoiter. To their amazement,
they found the gates, doors and win
dows open and all the appearance Of
a holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
ly back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music In the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise
man to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders Of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him In that way. He
drew back to safe distance and en-
camped to await Developments.
Soon the e-enforcements for the cas-
tie came up behind, attacked him sud
denly and defeated him, while the gar
rison. which had risked all on its STRAIT
agem. charged him on the other side.
