DEPTH FOR PLOWING Methods of Tillage May Be Look ed Into With Profit. THISTLES IN DRY COUNTRY Soma of Western Experiment Stations Reached Conclusion That Exces sively Deep Plowing Not Always Profitable. In these dry years farmers in the humid belt may with profit look into the methods of soil tillage of the dry farmers. There was a time when the dry farmer talked about shallow plow ing and surface cultivation, claiming that stirring the soli deeply left it loose and open and resulted in a loss of moisture. This was before suo-sur. face Dackers and other 'dry fanning machinery came into use. When the big traction engines came into use and plows, discs, and other tillage machin ery could be hauled by means of me chanical power, experimenting In deep plowing, subsoillng, subsequent discing and sub-surface packing became com mon and before long deep plowing be came the rule. It Is not uncommon for dry farmers to plow to a de pth of 16 inches,and eight to ten Inches is now the usual depth, says the Farmer and Breeder. They are plowing to that depth with horses, usually using from five to six on a gang plow. Naturally some of the western ex periment stations have been studying soil tillage questions under arid condi tions and they have come to the con clusion that excessively deep plowing Is not profitable, but that a depth of eight to ten Inches, as a rule, gives the most remunerative results. For a period of five years, on four different fields, the Utah experiment station has obtained the following average re sults with wheat: The telephone rate in Denmark outside of the larger cities is about $11 a year.

Extent to Which This Pest Prevails Is Positively AlarmingFarmers Should Fight It The extent to which this pest pre vails In dry areas is positively alarm ing. Where grain crops are grown every year, the thistles come In and take possession of the crop In a dry year. The possession is so complete In many instances and the thistles grow so closely that they cannot make a rank growth. They not only smother the grain, but they crowd each other to such an extent that they cannot possibly make a Strong growth. In gome areas this Is true of whole fields and of every field In which grain Is grown In a dry year such as the present, says a writer in the Dakota Farmer. I speak not from hearsay, but from observation. . What is to be done to meet the evil? Of course where every farm grows Russian thistles In an unfenced country, It will be impossible to keep any farm absolutely free from the thistles. It should be possible, how ever, to prevent them from doing great damage. The summer-fallow will remove them from the surface soil for the time being, providing the work is thorough, but of course they may roll over the land and strew seed on It the follow lng autumn or winter. Land may be plowed immediately when the grain is removed. This will prevent much seed from maturing that would otherwise mature, and it will prevent the plants from being carried elsewhere by the wind. The objection to this lies In the difficulty found In doing this work at such a time... Winter rye may be profitably grown on such land. Preparing the land for rye will be hard on the thistles. The following spring the rye may be har rowed two or three times. This will be hard on the thistles and good for the rye. If winter wheat can be success fully grown, similar results may be made to follow. 1 Growing a crop of corn and caring for it properly will go far toward cleaning a piece of land thus Infested in a single season. Some of the seeds may live over until the spring,; but the seeds of Russian thistles seldom live more than two years. Much may also be accomplished by harrowing spring grain. The grain may be harrowed two to four times with much profit to the grain and with great injury to the thistles. It is not the purpose in this paper to dl3cuss the exact methods of harrowing. This is a very effective way of destroying these plants. If all farmers were to fight the pest as outlined, it would cease to be seriously harmful.

Merrill, in a recent bulletin, report ing seven years' investigations in dry tarming methods, says: "The writer's opinion is that on deep, heavy clay Bolls, plowing to a depth of ten Inches will insure as good and possibly better results than plowing to a greater depth, but that on lighter soils an oc casional plowing to a depth of fifteen to eighteen inches is advisable." While the results above mentioned are not applicable to all sections, and we would not, of course recommend plowing the land to a depth of ten Inches regardless of local conditions, we believe they are of value In call ing the attention of our readers to the fact that the average farmer is not plowing his land deep enough. Those who are plowing their stubble lands this fall in anticipation of droughty conditions next year should plow their land from one to two Inches deeper Jhan they have been doing in the past. Those who have been plowing six or seven inches deep will undoubtedly tmprove the producing power of their land by plowing seven or eight Inches this fall, while those who have been In the habit of plowing only four or five inches in depth may well plow two Inches deeper. This, of eourse, is only a general statement, and each person must determine for himself what he may reasonably expect from deeper plowing. However, as a general propo sition there is no question but that we have reached the stage when we must work our land deeper and give it more surface cultivation. If deeper plowing conserves mere moisture In the arid belt, there Is no reason why it should not also do the same In the humid belt. No one knows, of course, whether next year will be a dry one or not, but even If we should have a normal rainfall our soils will still be short of moisture. We never have what is ordinarily called a wet year following a dry year. Let us pre pare for a shortage of moisture next year; 11 will be money in our pockets to do PO Oats for the brood sows will pro duce better muscle for the pigs. Don't rush matters when loading; fat hogs. A little haste may kill a fat porker. v Pneumonia kills many pigs before the herd gets used to sleeping in damp pens or drafts. The young boars that are to be de veloped for breeding purposes should be selected at an early age. For the breeding of mules select mares that have good sized, roomy bodies and short, strong limbs. Hang the windows so that the wind will shoot overhead when they are open, and hot right on the cows. There is hardly any reasonable limit on the price a farmer can af ford to pay for a good brood sow. Frequent change to fresh paBture Is one of the best ways to stimulate the growth of both the grass and the pigs. The dreaded gap between fall and spring pasturing has been successful ly spanned in this country by the silo. It is a good plan to Boak shelled corn for the hogs and if it is ground before it Is soaked, so much the bet ter. . It is generally advisable to study an environment of a locality before so- lpr-tine a narticular breed of -live stock. Give the young boar as many kinds of food as can reasonably be provided, but do not make sudden changes in his diet. After the pigs have been put into the fattening pen In the fall they should be fed all that they will eat with a relish. If a little rape seed is sprinkled in with the rye, a variety of feed will be provided, and the hogs will do even better than upon rye alone. The special care of the young boars should commence at weaning time, when they should be separated from the gilts and other hogs placed in a yard away from the rest of the herd. When the celebrated "Copenhagen Jackson" was British minister In America he resided in New York, and occupied a house In Broadway. A wag named Nell, one night at a late hour, in company with a bevy of rough-riders, while passing the house, noticed It was brilliantly illuminated, and that several carriage were wait ing at the door. "Hallo!" said our wag; "what's go- tnng on at Jackson's?" One of the number remarked that Jackson had a party that evening. "What?" exclaimed Neil; "Jackson have a party and I not Invited? I must see to that!" So stepping up to the door be gave a ring, which soon brought out the servant. "I want to see the British minis ter," said Nell. "You must call some other even lng," said the servant, "for he Is now engaged In a game of whist, and must not be disturbed." "Don't talk to me that way," said Neil, "but go directly and tell the Brit ish minister that I must see him Im mediately on special business." The servant obeyed, and delivered his message in so Impressive a style as to bring Mr. Jackson to the door orthwlth. ' Well." said Mr. Jackson, "what can be your business at this time of night which Is so very urgent?" 'Are you Mr. Jackson?" 'Yes, sir, I am Mr. Jacksbn. the British minister." "You have a party here tonight, I aee. Mr. Jackson?" "Yes, sir, I have a party. ; . "A large party, I presume?" "Yes, sir, a large party." "Playing whist, I understand?" "Yes, sir, playing whist."

One of the most puzzling points In the use of fertilizers Is the effect of the various forms of potash. Some vegetables and fruits seem to thrive best in muriate of potash. Others give better yields when treated with sul phate of potash. Even the garden vegetables seem to have their prefer ence, according to recent tests at the Maine experiment station. Thus rhu barb gives a much heavier yield with muriate of potaBh, while onions, cauli flower and asparagus give heavier crops with sulphate. Orchard fruits, as a rule, seem to prefer the sulphate. How Potash Affects Hay Crop. In the use of potash as a fertilizer for grass the Maine experiment sta tion finds that the greater results are seen in the second cutting.

Itcfied So he Could Not Sleep "On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking baby with us. After being In Ireland a few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to a doc tor who gave us medicine for him. The trouble started in the form of a rash and was all over baby's body, head and face, at different times. It Irritated, and he would scratch It with all his might. The consequence was It developed Into sores, and we were afraid it would leave nasty scars on his face. "When we reached England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food and climate, and gave more medicine. The rash got no better, and it used to Itch and burn at night so bad that the child could not sleep. He was com pletely covered with It at different times. It was at this time that my mother advised us to try Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. After using Cutl cura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment for about nine months the places disap peared. There are not any scars, or other kind of disfigurement, and baby Is completely cured by the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. We have no fur ther trouble with baby's skin.
