METHODS OF TILLAGE
RESULTS GIVEN FROM NORTH
OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS.
Superiority of Fall Plowed Land
Proved Invariably by at Least One
Bushel Increase Per Acre—Ma-
nuring Is Also (JnivL
In considering the methods of till-
age, only the results can be given,
as time will not permit of any details.
Data Is rather hard to obtain and none
could be secured bearing on corn, the
great crop of Iowa. The results given
are from North Dakota, Oklahoma
and Kansas.
In experiments with fall vs. spring
plowed land, the results invariably
prove the superiority of the fall plowed
land by at least one more bushel per
acre.
The Campbell system, or the inter-
tillage system was not found at all
practical, for the crops were less and
the expense high. On fall plowed
land, the yield was 6% bushels less
and $4.77 less profit. On spring
plowed, it was even more marked, be-
Jng 8%^ bushels less, and ^5.77 less
profit. By means of extra tillage on
lall plowed and spring plowed land,
we get the following: On fall plowed,
four extra harrowings and one rolling
gave 3.4 bushels more wheat than the
ordinary treatment, and $2.02 more
profit. On spring plowed land, one
sub-surface packing, one rolling and
two harrowings, gave 2.5 more bush-
els than the ordinary treatment, and
$1.01 more profit. It pays to work
the land. These results are from the
North Dakota station. At Oklahoma
similar results have been obtained, but
they are here even more marked. Here
early and late fall plowing entered
more thoroughly into the test, and the
early plowed land gave the better re-
sults, on account of the increased till-
age holding more moisture, and kill-
ing weeds better. Land plowed in
July at Oklahoma yielded 23.1 bush-
els per acre of wheat, while that of
one of the adjoining fields plowed in
September gave 16.8 bushels per acre.
Manuring is also good, as manured
plats at Oklahoma yielded 27.5 bush-
els per acre against 14.5 on unma-
nured land which had grown wheat
continuously for seven years, and one
plot manured and another not. Ma-
nured plot yielded 30.6 bushels per
acre, unmanured 12 bushels per acre.
At the North Dakota experiment sta-
tion shallow plowing gave % bushel
less per acre and 23 cents less profit
on fall plowing, and one bushel less
and 40 cents less profit on spring
plowed. The sub-surface packer gave
24 cents more profit per acre on both
fall and spring plowed land. Harrow-
ing right after plowing gave 46 cents
more profit per acre. Sub-soiling gave
a little better yield but it did not pay
for the extra cost Disk plowing gave
the best results in a large series of
experiments the first year, but later
it dwindled away rapidly. Rolling
with a smooth roller after sowing, gave
1.2 bushels more per acre and 58
cents more profit. Next year there was
an increase of 7.5 per cent on fall
plowed land and a decrease of 22 per
cent on spring plowed land. This
phenomenon is not explained. Wheat
rolled and harrowed just after sowing,
and then harrowed again as the wheat
was coming up gave two bushels in-
crease in yield and 72 cents in profit,
on spring plowed land. In 1899 yield
was increased 2.5 bushels by harrow-
ing when the wheat was six inches
high. It also took less water for this
plot.
It was computed that one inch of
rain would make two bushels of wheat
under favorable conditions, so it is
readily seen that the increased till-
age is simply a saving of water.
Are Your Kidneys Weak?
You may have kidney trouble and not
know it. The only signs may be occa-
sional twinges in the small of the back,
constant lameness, dizzy spells or some
annoyingirregularity of the kidney action.
But no sign of kidney trouble can be
safely ignored. Kidney disease moves
rapidly. It leads to dropsy, gravel,
Bright's disease, rheumatism.
If you suspect that your kidneys are
sluggish, use Doan's Kidney Pills,
which have relieved thousands.

Probably Druggist Was of the Same
Opinion as His Small Colored
Errand Boy.
'
A druggist, who had a little colored
| errand boy, fell into the habit of play-
! ing practical Jokes on him. One day
! the druggist was mixing some com-
| bustible oils. Suddenly there was a
\ terrific explosion, which hurled the
•chemist in one direction and the little
darky 4n another, while the whole
place burst forth into flames.
After a time a black figure emerged
from under a counter, whimpering and
1 rubbing a rapidly growing bump on
his head. He limped over to where
the druggist sat, half-dazed, with a
deep cut across his forehead.
"You hadn’t oughter play wld me
j dat-a-way, doctor," he said, reproach-
j fully. “Dat shore ain’t no way to
play!”

Griggs—How is it done?
Briggs—Most of the publishers offer
[ to send any book on their list on trial.
I get ’em, sit up reading ’em, and re-
turn ’em within three days for the cost
of the dern books.
Griggs—Ah, that accounts for it.
Briggs—For what?
Griggs—Well, I was wondering the
other day what was the cause of your
recent mental deterioration.—Life.
Feed Sows Separately.
Feed the old and young sows sepa-
rately as the old ones may hurt the
younger ones and they will get more
than they should. The mature sows
are more desirable but it is always
necessary to grow a few gilts to re-
place some of the older ones. ,
Patient Shepherd Best.
If the shepherd at lambing time has
not far more than the patience of Job,
and kindness unbounded he had better
quit the Job. A rough, kicking, swear-
ing man is as dangerous in a 6heep
fold as a coyote, and will often do
more harm.
Cause of Hoof Troubles.
If you can’t get a competent black-
smith to shoe the horses, they are
better off without any. The cause of
most hoof troubles may be traced back
to ill-fitted shoes.

WESTERN CANADA’S
PROSPECTS FOR 1914
Excellent Spring for Work and
Wheat Seeding About
Finished.
The writer has just returned from
an extensive trip through the Prov-
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, in Western Canada. The crop
conditions are the very best, and no
one locality seems to have an advan-
tage over another in this respect. The
uniformity In growth is remarkable,
and In all parts of the three provinces
spring wheat at the time of writing,
May 10th, is well above the ground
from two to three Inches. Consider
able fall plowing was done last year,
and this, with the summer fallow, is
already seeded, so that practically
wheat seeding Is over by this date.
Everywhere the farmers are busy and
the whole country presents one great
scene of activity—three-horse, four-
horse and five-horse teams are busy
preparing land for barTey, oats and
flax. On some of the larger farms
batteries of steam and gasoline out-
fits are at work, hut In a gTeat many
districts where these have been oper-
ated In the past they are being dis-
placed by horses, owing no doubt par-
tially to the difficulty of securing ex-
perienced men to operate them. Any-
way, there is being put into agricul-
ture in Western Canada, greater ef-
fort with more promise than for some
years past. The soil Is In the best
possible condition; moisture has been
sufficient, there have been no winds
to dry out the soil, and If the farmers
have had to lay up for a day or so
now and again, It was merely that the
ground might have the advantage of
the rain and an occasional snow,
which promise so much for the grow-
ing crop. With some -warm weather
the grain will come along In a man-
ner that will equal the best years
Western Canada has ever had.
It must not he thought from this
that the farmers are full bent on se-
curing a grain crop alone. In nearly
every district there is more and more
the Indication and inclination to go
into mixed farming. Herds of cattle
now dot the plains that up to the
present had been fully given up to
grain growing, hogs and sheep are in
evidence. New buildings are to be
seen on a great many places, these
being pig houses and cow stables, al-
though protection of cattle is not regu-
larly required, excepting for calves
and such cows as It may be necessary
to house from time to time.
The growing of alfalfa and other
fodder grasses is an industry that is
being rapidly developed.
During this spring a splendid class
of new settlers have gone in, many of
them from the eastern states. These
have seen what success the western
and central states man has achieved
In Western Canada, and are now go-
ing in In hundreds. The movement
from Montana, Oregon and Washing-
ton to Canada continues without any
abatement as to numbers and value of
effects, while the central and eastern
states are still sending an excellent
class of farmers with means sufficient
to begin farming on a scale that will
pav from the start.
Those who contemplate visiting the
Panama Exposition next year will find
that one of the most Interesting trips
they can make will be via the Cana-
dian West. There will be three lines
of railway they can use—the Canadian
Pacific, Canadian Northern and Grand
Trunk Pacific, all of which will have
through to coast lines completed. Thus
will be given a view of prairie, wood-
land and mountain scenery unexcelled
In America.—Advertisement.
New Modern Dancing
The leading Hxpert and Instructor in New York
City, writes: “Dear Sir: — 1 have nsed Allen’s
Foot-Hask, the antiseptic powder to be shaken into
the shoos, for the past ten years. It is a blessing to
all who are compelled to be on tbeir feet. I dance
eight or ten hours daily, and find that Allen’s
Foot-Babe keeps my feet cool, takes the friction
from the shoe, prevents corns and Sore, Aching feet.
I recommend it to all my pupils."

Best Way to Open Bolls.
It Is exceedingly painful to touch a
boll, even when It Is large enough to
open. A correspondent writes that
the best way to do this is to paint
a ring or collodion, which can be pur-
chased in any drug store, around It,
being careful not to put any directly
over the boil. As the alcohol evap-
orates the collodion In drying wil! ex-
ert a gentle but firm pressure all
around the boil, not only opening it,
but forcing out its contents, which
should be abeorbed by a perfectly
clean handkerchief or piece of ster-
ilized cotton.

Sign of the Times.
When c. man like A. J. Drexel Bid-
dle, of Philadelphia, society leader and
millionaire, preaches in the city
streets from a gospel wagon on the
"Inasmuch Mission,” and when we see
other young millionaires In various
parts of the country Joining the Sal-
vation army of uplift and human bet-
terment, It is calculated to make the
world think a bit—to make it stop,
look, and listen. There is something
which comes home to everybody in
such a spectacle, and which is not to
be dismissed as an emotional crusad-
ing outburst. In many ways the re-
ligious Impulse of the age shares the
democratic spirit that is dominant in
political and economic spheres, and is
coming out from high places into the
highways and hedges in order to get
face to face with the masses.
