PREPARING GARDEN SOIL

Early preparation of the garden soil is important for best results in making the mechanical condition what it should be. Garden soil is required to produce heavily. To make this pos- sible the soil must be in the best pos sible mechanical condition. It must be deep, mellow and friable. When it is plowed or hood it should crumble. In other words, the minute particles must be granular, each maintaining it's form and consistency.
 When such soil becomes wet each particle is enveloped by film of water which is retained for some time. The plant food is thus dissolved and the water laden plant food is taken by the roots of the plants. The finer the soil particles the more pore space be- tween for air and the better it will hold moisture. other conditions being favorable.
 Garden soil must have plenty of what is known as humus-decayed vegetable and animal matter that makes up that dark, "stringy'' part of the soil. Where soil is low in hu- mus it will be necessary to apply manure, turn under green crops or apply leaves, straw and other rubbish to decompose and supply the organic matter.
 Commercial fertilizer may be used to good advantage on most garden soils. Acid phosphate is especially beneficial on many soils. More phos- phate is required for beans peas, tur- nips, melons, etc. under conditions prevailing on most soils where a heavy yield is expected. Nitrate of soda may he used to increase the supply of ni- trogen; wood ashes or potash salts to supply the potash in case it is needed.

PRoFiTAHLE PORK RAISING.

Breeders of pigs must bear in mind that the only hope of making pig rais- ing profitable industry lies in their producing pork of the best quality. and this can only be accomplished by breeding from those animals which are possessed in marked degree of those points, such as early maturity, quick growth, fine quality of bone and offal, and then by .sential qualities A pig should make one pound in weight for every day of it's life. and thus 1t will be ready for the market any time after it is six months OF.
 No matter what the conditions may be. the young pig will never be thrifty unless he has plenty of pure, f-csh water. This important point is more neglected, perhaps, than any other. Slop will not, of course, do for drink ing water. entirely, though it is a par tial substitute.

SEVENTEEN PENS MAKE
 PERFECT LAYING ScoR

The laying contest at Storrs is now running in it's ninth year. The com bined production of all hens in all the competitions. now amounts to more than a million eggs. In the twenty
 third week of the current contest the hens eased off just little from last weeks lay, but managed neverthe-
 less, to come through with over 200 eggs more than the average for this period. The total production in the twenty third week amounted to ATT eggs or a yield of nearly 64 per cent. Since there are ten hens in each pen, a production of ten eggs in any one day means, of course, a perfect score. Last week there were seventeen pens including Barred Rocks, Columbian Rocks, White Wyandottes, Rhode Is land Reds, Light Brahmas, White Leghorns and Black Leghorns that made twenty three perfect daily

SEED CORN.

Corn that will come ID but that will produce an unprofitable crop is worse than seed which won't grow at all, because it fools a farmer into wasting labor and. land on 1t. Know what your seed will do by selecting it yourself.
 Cheap seed corn may prove very dear; the seed corn that produces the best crop usually is the cheapest.
 If you must buy seed. pay your sneighbor reasonable price for se- lected, well preserved seed of va riety that has made good in neigh boring field: but don't pay a stranger 8 fancy price for seed claimed to give miraculous yields.
 Seed ears should first be nubbed, and the kernels from tip and butt
 should be discarded from the seed supply. The small kernels from. the tips are less productive than the other kernels on. the ear; the thick rounded kernels from the butts are just as productive as any of the rest, but because of their shape and size they do not plant uniformly when used in corn planter with other kernels. Smelling by hand takes more time and labor, but is profitable. The me- chanical corn, sheller-will injure some of the kernels and thus destroy or. re- duce their power to grow and yield No matter how large the required l supply, says the department, 1t will
 still pay to shell it painstakingiy by
 hand, because of the greater acreage
 to be planted the greater tic ultimate
 profit
 Each ear should be shelled separate ly into a shallow pan or box, and any Eblemished, poorly developed. meldy o1 worm eaten kernel should be rejected As the seed from each ear is found
 satisfactory and sound and free iron poor kernels 1t is poured into the gen
 eral supply and another ear is e..ailet ! in the same way. It is much easier tc pick out defective kernels from a thiT layer in a small sieve than from 2
 large mingled quantity in a bushe measure or a. bag.

Gumb, has received an appointment
to the West Point Military Academy
at West Point, N. Y. Lloyd is a
member of. the Glass of 1920, Hope

SIXTH ANNUAL HOPE
CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES

Hopes sixth annual Chautauqua
course closed Monday evening after
a most successful program. The
course opened Thursday with s. good
attendance, in spite of the threaten
ing weather and counter attractions
with the Montague Light Opera Co.
and Robt. Finch, lecturer, whose
subject was Shifting Gears" The
Opera Company was one of the best
numbers of the course. Every men,
ber of the troupe was an artist and
their program was selected with the
idea of pleasing all tastes in music
On Friday the lovers of high-class
music were given real treat by the
Elsa Kressman Trio, composed o1
Elsa Kressman, soprano, Gretchen
Cox, violinist, and Mr.. Ogelsby, &C
companist. Ex-Gov. Hoch, of Kan
sas, gave a splendid lecture OF

rain but the skies cleared up b.
noon and large audience was OF
hand to hear the Althea Players
five talented young lady violinists
who also proved very versatile, in
Guiding in their program vocal solo
and readings. The evening program
featured John B. Ratio, impersonat
or. He is by far the best entertain
er in his line that the people of thi
community have ever had the plea
sure of seeing. He also carried
fund of good stories and humorou
sketches.

REGARDING the FEEDING
OF SWEET CLOVER

Much objection has been raised to
sweet clover as a feed because of its
lack of palatability. L. R. Waldron,
of the North Dakota Agricultural
College states that this is due to IT,
presence of coumarin which gives the
plant it's characteristic odor and a
somewhat bitter taste. Also the
plant becomes rapidly woody as it
becomes mature and woody feed does
not find favor with the stock. So
far as the coumarin is concerned
practically all animals become used
to it after some experience. In TACT,
cattle oftentimes seem to acquire q
positive liking for it. Sweet clover
compares very closely with alfalfa
as feed. The protein content seems
to be a trifle higher If anything. In
making this comparison, II Is rneces
sary to take alfalfa and sweet clover
samples of equal stages of develop
ment. The few digestion expert
ments carried on with sweet clover
give it as high rank as alfalfa.

HOPE LOSES GAMES TO
FINLEY, SUTTON, AhE1A

Three ball games this week and no
wins is the record of the local team.
Friday the Finley aggregation came
down and administered a y to 4
drubbing; Sunday the team journey
ed to Sutton and lost a fast game by
a score of l to O; and the final de-
feat came Tuesday afternoon when
in the raggedest of ragged games
Hope lost to Aneta at Finley 13 to 3.
The Finley-Hope game was featur-
ed by heavy hitting on both sides,
each securing fifteen safe bingles'
However, Hope drew more errors
and as result let Finley cross the
plate with nine runs.

Sunday was an ideal Chautauqua

Sunday was an ideal Chautauqua
day and people for miles around took
advantage of the day to attend. In
the afternoon they enjoyed a MASTER
full address by Homer G. Boblitt, ar
tic explorer, who also made per-
sonal study of Bolshevism while with
the Allied forces in Russia. He
brought message of true American
ism which deeply impressed his aud
ience.
The largest crowds ever seen at
our Chautauqua, and the largest seen
by the talent this season, was on
hand Sunday evening to witness the
great farce comedy. 1.-The Elixor of
Youth" This great mirth producer
worked from start to finish and If
the old saying, Laugh and Grow
Fat" is reliable, the people of the
community collectively added thous-
ands of pounds to their weight dur
ing that hour and half.
Rotto Mcbride, man who has
handled $4,000 criminals and assist
ed in their reform when possible,
spoke on his life's work the closing
afternoon, his subject being, "Mak-
ing the Crooked Straight"
The evening program was given
over to ajoy night program by the
Schweizer Sextette, six young men,
who are musicians of no mean abil-
lity. They proved very popular with
the lovers of Jazz and popular music
and responded generously to the
many anchors.
Judge c. M. York made splendid
superintendent and he was ably as
sisted by Miss Jean Lowery as CASH
ier and play supervisor, and o. w.
Maching and Parker York who took
tickets and looked after the tent.
In the sale of season tickets, the
number sold this year was far be-
hind that of former years and it was
necessary to draw on the reserve for
about $10O.
The contract for next year which
calls for an advance sale of 5000
worth of season tickets was signed
by about sixty boosters and course
is assured for the season of 1921.
