KEEPING LAND
RICH SECRETS
EXPERIMENT STATION EXPERT8
EXPLAIN WHAT TREATMENT
SOIL NEEDS
Clay Field Plowed Soon. After Rain It
Injured for Years. i
Experts nro digging Information out
ot tho ground and furnishing It to tbo
citizens of tho country who depend
upon tho land for a livelihood. Just
as tho farmer is "learning to plow
deep" and is applying this rule even
to clay, ho must ho shown that ho
must uso caro or ho will spoil , his
land says tho Illustrated World maga
zine. The experiment station of tho
University of Wisconsin, working
with its own farms In various parts
of tho state, has been telling what
treatment is good and what Is had
in rcgaid to dlffeicnt soils. The state
presents so many different kinds ot
soil that almost every type may. ho
examined. Clay must ho plowed
deeply hut gradually. Tho oiganlc
matter and bafctoria necessary to plant
growth are only on l ho but face of
this ltlnd of soil, and it they ate bur
ied deep In plowing, tho h.nd will l.o
ferently injured.
As to clay sovornl truths mo ex
pounded by the men who have tri'd
out Gvcrvthinn that science has at its
command. In tho first place, sucli
Eoil should ho cleared with the aid
of dynamite. Surfaco drainage and
even tile drainago is important be
cause too much moisture Is worse than
not enough.
Clover and peas should ho grown
occasionally and sometimes turned
under to provide humus for tho soil,
and as with other soils, crop rotation
is important, with a four or five year
program.
Plow a field of clay too soon after
a rain and it Is injured for years to
come. Tho great lumps, soon bake to
the consistency of bricks and thrco
or four years of cultivation are nec
essary before the soil of the field will
return to normal.
With marsh soils, drainage of
course. Is all important, hut the chem
ical composition of the land is al
most as much so: Such ground usu
ally has a great supply of nitrogen
r-ut lacks tho components, phosphoius
nnd potassium, which should bo sup
plied by commercial fertilizers.
Barnyard manure has the required
elements, but as it also contains ni
trogen, economy can bo practiced by
saving it for upland pastures If they,
too, form some pait of the farm. Ju;t
tho opposite from'iho clay, mnrsh
land need3 heavy rolling for best pro
duction and when it is properly han
dled, tho black soil will produce corn,
potatoes, hay, buckwheat, etc., In
great quantities.
Tho acidity of such ground need not
tether the farmer usually if he has
properly fertilized It, though in ex
treme instances it is advisable to neu
tralize the acid nature by a thin layer
of limestone spread upon the so'l be
fore ploKving. (
Sandy soil presents problems of
how to make it hold moisture anO of
how to prevent blowing. Long nsir
row fields In grass and cultivated
crops alternately, will save stands ot
farm produce which would otherwise
bo ruined. Vegetable matter should
bo added to them to aid in water hold
ing and to prorido for additional fer
tility. As sand has only one third to ono
half the fertility of clay loams, It
must bo watched carefully and crops
rotated to produce results comparable
with thoso from other soils. Ease of
putting sandy -- undor cultivation
is its saving, grace with tho addition
of nianuro as needed such fields be
come almost as valuablo as other
kinds.
Of course in addition to general
maxims, the expei intent stations gtvo
bpeclfic advice and the farmer who
is served by them can havo his soil
j.nalysed nnd his crops planned for
him. Perhaps this, is tbo best way
of attacking high food prices.
KEYS MAY BECOME

Locks Operated by Buttons Are In

Finding tho keyhole after a night
out will become a lost nrt, tho bur
glar's tratlo wjII bo revolutionized aud
keys will' bo classed as curios of ho
past with tho adoption of the dovico
of whiclf Charles L. Kaps, bookkeeper
ct Cleveland is tho inventor.
Mr. Kaps has just been "granted
patent rights. His invention Is a key
less lock. It is u'lpck' operated by
push buttons. ,
AH you have to do is to remember
your combination and push the but
tons tbo proper number of times aud
the lock responds as it by mngic.
Tho inventor' claims the devico
works more promptly than a key and
that the system is much safer be
cause of, the great variety ot combin

If the wlfo alone at homo becomes
suddenly suspicious that a house
breaker may havo learned the com

Inventor Kaps say) the device will
be especially well suited to lockers,

SAVING STEPS FOR MOTHER
Teach each member of the family
to turn their colored or black hose
i inside out before putting in laundry.
They can be washed without strain
jng or preparing special water, as
j no lint remains on the outside and it
saves mother from turning a bunch
of stockings on wash day.
( Have a laundry bag for each mem
ber of the family, requesting each to
I put all soiled lnundry in its place
and not leave around for mother to
I pick up.
Teach the children to turn their
bedding back upon arising in the
morning, to put all their things away
and leave the dressing table tidy.
At noon they can make up the bed
and the room is neat.
Take a small table, put casters on
and nail some little strips around ths
top, to prevent dishes slipping off,
and allow the children to clear the
dining table. Stack the dishes on
this wheel table and push it to the
kitchen. They will think it fun.
Where the 'family is large, use
paper towels. .
No matter if a child' is small, it
can be taught to hang up its own
garments, on low Hooks provided for
it, and it can also help to keep the
house clean, by just a little training.
Among their toys, don't forget to
give them a fly swatter, and as soon
as they are large enough, toach them
to swat every fly they see.

cold months is the apple. Differ

standby are sure of a welcome from
the cook.
The Department of Agriculture
suggests the following ways of serv

Fresh apples may be stuffed with
.sausage and then 'baked; sliced and
fried in fat to serve with meats, or
served raw in salads.
Canned, dried or stewed apples
may be varied greatly by changing
the flavors used.
Canned apples make a delicious ad

a piquant flavor.
Canned, dried or fresh ,they form
an acceptable basis for Brown Hetty

INVENTOR3 OTILL l '
CMAGE THIS MYTH
"Perpctucl Motion" Goal Patent Of-
fice Thinks It Has Found Way
to Stop Them.
Hvcry now and then someone ap
pears witli a new perpetual motion
machine. Needless to say, no such
machine has ever withstood tlio tests,
but inventors persist in trying just the
same. Accounts of several attempts to
solve the "perpetual" problem have
been printed and there aro many
which never got before the public. The
United States patent office conies into
contact every year with thousands of
these evidences of human Ingenuity
and hope.
Application for a patent costs a fee,
which cannot bo recovered It' tho pat
ent is not granted. It. In to save the
expenditure of thoso fees, which
amount to thousands of dollars' an
nually, that the Commissioner of Pat
ents has made a benevolent ruling.
Reputable patent attorneys usually
toll the inventor that he is wasting bis
money in making application! but ex
perience lias sliowti that it is general
ly Impossible to convmce an inventor
that his schemes are impracticable, so
that many an attorney, sometimes
'against Ifis will, is compelled to pre
pare specifications and claims which
rclalo to an Invention that Is inopera
tive, i
In the post. It has been the practice
of the patent office to demand a work
ing model from th elnventor of perpet
ual motion machines. The man who
cannot ho convinced by an attorney
that his machino Is Inoporatlvo is not
likely to bo discouraged by such re
quirements. Tho result is that many
an inventor spenda hundreds and per
haps thousands of hard-earned dollars
In trying to build an operative perpet
ual motion model.
Now tho commissioner in order tq
sparo the Inventor the necessity ot
parting with at least tho government
fees for an application, has decided
that hereafter no application for a pat
ent on a porpetuul motion machine
will be considered at all unless a work
ing model Is llled in tho very first
place.
The wort-lag of tho commissioner'
ruling is cf. folio 's: "Tho views of the
United States pateut office are in ac
cord with those of the scientists who.
have investigated this subject and aro
to the effect that such devices are.
physical Impossibilities. The position
ot tho office can be rebutted only by
the exhibition of a working model.
When an application is forwarded to
the examiner for consideration, h
will make no examination as to the,
merits, but his tlrst action will be the
requirement that a working model be
filed."
It's lovo Hut makes the pcistman go
around w,lth a lot of slly letters.
.Openings sometimes como to men
aud oydturd when least expected.'
When m, fellow lolls you all bis
