you ul'c cultivating are a blacli, sticliy
clay, of line compact texture, with its
pores -o small that it i . practically im
penetrable to water or, if penetrable,
it is siiiiJiiish and tardy, and if you will
btildy i's nature you will learn that iti
texture must l-e improved so that its
pon s may be put ia a condition to re
ceive and retain witter. How is this to
1 iloiie? it must be found in your
methods of tillage. You must plow
p our land i so ns to keep a tfreut hed of
loo,e, wcP-puivcri.ed vui to receive, to
ht re and to preserve the soil water,
that it may be ready at all times to
perform its important functions iu
plant life. This iarife, looms bed re
ceives the itipors from the air and con
ileuses I hem iu its ci lis and acts as a
(.police, by capillary force lifting the
water from below, which in its Course
bears the soil fo.l to the roots of the
plant s. It w ill pree, nt tiat rapid ex

Mirciiu the earth and through which
the w a' i r rapidly escapes by evapora

nii.ke it avai able for fertili.in' your

Mir it you a ldnrwr draft of oxygen,

und acids can be re-supplied by keep

btirrin' it w ith your plows.
The elements of feitility in the earth
arc often found iu au insoluble condi
tion, and when iu this condition arc
not plant food and add nothing to the
life and growth of vegetation. It is
therefore the farmer's duty to apply
the proper means for reducing these in
boluble ingredients so as to make them
available in supporting 'his crop. The
adding of ready soluble fertilizers is
one means of supplying a deliciency in
the soil, but it is well understood the
atmosphere beari upon its wings W or
V) per cent, of nil plant food, and w hen
these acids and gases that float in the
air are brought in contact with the
jnitierols of the M)i! a rapid chemical
change is effected which supplies the
food for plant life. If there w as, at all
times, a sufficiency of soil water to (lis
isoItc these insoluble elements of fertil
ity, then it might not be so important,
and necessary to continue your plow
ing. Hut as the water is taken front
the surface by absorption and evapora
tion the farmer must employ some
means to bring it back for the use of
his crop. Plowing and keeping a heavy
mulch of earth around the plants has
proven to be the most practical and ef
ficacious method, and by constant stir
ring of this mulch bed you take from
the air new draughts of those acids
and ga..es w hich perform such an im
portant part in supplying the food for
the lifj and strength of the plants.
I know these ideas have the smell of
took farming, and may invoke the ridi
cule of some who are good, practical
and successful farmers. I first learned
by practical experiments, and found
tiic reasons in seeking to know why
tiie experiments were successful. Many
years ago, when my observation and
experience in farming was much more
limited than now, I was having my cot
ton plow ed when the ground was very
dry, and was plowing deep, turning op
unbroken soil. My neighbor, whose
farm adjoined mine, said to me: You

Here is something for the boys and

w ill please you, for eiery child v.e ever
knew liked to cut out papers. The de
scription of this littie Chinaman we
found in a little publication called
"New Ideas fur Woman's Wear."
You will need, iu the first place, sev
eral sheets of piuwheel paper, of dif
ferent colors, a large size that comes
at four cents a sheet, a spool of black
Inreail, some tissue paper and cotton
batting. A few toothpicks of wood or ,
burnt matches are also needed to gi
extra strength to the head and neck.

so thick and brittle
itsat no alter luaaipiilatioii of the ker
nels will bring the wheat in condition
to make the best ijuiiiity of Hour with
out carrying a large proportion of Hour
off with the bran. The safety lies,
therefore, l.ctweei the extremes of
early and late cutting. Iu a word,
harvest your wheat crop when the
grain has passed from the milky stage
to a doughy one. if the w heat be cut
wheu tne grain r.-aches the doughy
state the grain will be thin
and elastic and can be .separated
more readily from the Hour
than wheu dead ripe. In addition to
the Hour living liner it will also lie in
creased in (iiantity in ionseiuence of
the bran b.dng lighter than w hen ripe.
A saving of wheat is likewise gained
which otherwise would have been lost
by shelling iu the Held. We can ascer
tain tii" exact time w hen w heat and
other small grain ought to be cut by
opening heads in dilferent parts of the
licbl and cMimiaing the kernels care
fully. The straw near the ground w ill
also show the lime for harvesting by
its yellow color. Wheat cut in the
dough stat s should not be dried sud
denly. It should be bound and stacked
at once. Stack so that the wind and
sun will not dry up all the juices in the
plant; enough of these w ill be slow ly
concentrated in the seed to accomplish
tin maturity of the grain in perfection.
If by rapid ripening in the sun the
kernels are shriveled, more bran is
formed in proportion to the
Hour. Some farmer practice thresh
ing from the shock and hauling grain
direct to tile market. The advantages
of this plan vary with the season.
When wheat has been bleached out
by hot suiisami repeated rains it should
be stacked and go through the ".sweat.''
Inning this process the st.-aw and
grain b, runic damp. and heat isevolved.
At such .imes the grain can not readily
be threshed; therefore it is not advisa
ble to attempt it until both straw and
to grain arc dry. Then it w ill be found
that the head has been restored to
color and preseutsa plump appearance.
having aosorbed the matter from the
stalk. The grain has not only under'
gone a eh inge for the better, but the
straw- is improved in quality. I sn
gest that farmers take time and pains
to lock for the linest heads of w heat for
future seed. 1 would also say to watch
carefully the result of the several vari
ces grouu with a view to comparing
tneir respective merits, and selecting
for another years crop those sorts
which promise best returns.
In usiug fertilizers mark well the
results. It is only by careful eompuri'
son of d lire rent plants under different
treatments that a farmer nrrivesatcon
elusions which best suits the special
requirements of the land.
if you are troubled with weevils iu
w heat gel fresh slacked lime and throw
over it enough to whiten the stack, and
you w ill find it a safe and sure remedy.
