TO CONSERVE SOIL MOISTURE
Nebraska Experiment Station Can
drrts Some Very Interesting and
Valuable Trial.
The Nebraska experiment static
has conducted some vory valuable ex
periment to dotermlus methods to
conaorvu aotl moisture. While thee
experiments had In view a lew rata
fall than that of Illinois, for oxaatpl,
the results nre nevertholnsa rateable
and suggestive to farmers la ItUcols
fanner territory. Nearly every year
'crops In' Illinois, etc., suffer la Jul,
mid August from lack of soil moisture.
Tue Nebraska station has reached th
following conclusions from Its at-
perlmonta:
1. That land which Is under thor
ough onltlvatlon abiorba wattr atuca'
more freely than land not under oultl
vatlon or which Is covered with grass)
or for any reason has a bard aur
facc. a. That land under thorough culti
vation loses but little wator from be
low tho first foot by surface evapora
tion so long as tho mulch is kept la
good condition.
3. That a growing crop uses water
from the land In proportion to U
growth of dry matter 'la the crop.
4. That land uude:- summer tills
or thorough cultivation from May 1 ta
Scptoinoor t on tho substation farst
has a5iniulnto(l from 6.D to T inches
morwator In the flxet sis feet of soil

for the same porlod. Tho roolstur
content on summer tilled land In
creases below the six-foot area and
Is apparent to a depth of at leasH If
feet.

auttrv In Trace.
Poultry, roosting la treas, la aot at
empt from Insect aasalaa. Tala haa'
been proved by the axparlaac ot
many who make a business of ralstatt
poultry. An examination of the llxaba
of trees where th young flocks roost
at night, before the birds hare a
yarded and houaed for th wiatar,"
will show countless numbers of mite
resting under the loos bark. Chlek
ens generally seek th nam roostla
place night after night, and carry In
sect with them. Th txa baeeasasj

Invention of th talad. v
Delicate cookery haa long been
known to flourish beat ia tboa laada
where roast beef la hard to get It
waa starvation that lav'entad th aal
ad, for example. Soaaakody had to
eat grass or go hungry, so he put vine
gar and oil. pepper and salt oh lt,
and lo! It made dry aread sees Ilk
a dinner. I do not douot that w shall
blesu tho meat trust for a varied

comes out. Eugea Wead, la Hasp
