Farming Without Water.
(Everyday Life.)
We are just beginning to learn
that if the soil Is cultivated carefully
and extensively. It can be made to
hold water within itself and carry a
storage reservoir underneath the
growing crops. Finely pulverized
and packing the seed bed makes it
canalde of retaining the greatest pos
slide percentage of the moisture that
falls, just as a fine sponge of a cer
tain size will hold many times ‘ as
much water as a coarse sponge of
t’ same size, or as a tumbler full
of bird shot will retain many times
the amount of water that a tutnb.er
of buckshot will. This is the much
heralded dry fanning, it is a well-
known fact that water moves in the
-oil as it does in a lamp wick by
apil arv attraction. The more deep
ly and the more densely the soil bed
in saturated with moisture, the more
easily the water moves upward in
the soil, just as the oil climbs up a
wet wick faster than it does p drv
one.
The problem of evaporation is the
mightiest one before the agricultur
ist of the semi-arid West. Even if
the same amount of raiu fell in east
ern Colorado as falls in Iowa, it does
not follow that as much moisture
would be available for plant life in
the former as in the latter State
Eastern Colorado is a mile above the
sea. as the World Today points out.
and has a clear atmosphere ami in
tense sunshine. Its atmosphere is,
therefore, very dry and quickly
drinks up the moisture from the soil
unless we tal>e measures to prevent
it. This we do by means of a soil
blanket called mulch. This finely
“ulverized surface serves a twofold
purpose: it prevents the moisture
from below, in Inr 0 " 1 measure from
evaporating and. at the same time,
keeps tiu* surface in such condition
that it readily absorbs whatever sud
den showers may fall. One can illus
trate the effect of this fine soil mulch,
so far as preventing evaporation is
concerned, by placing some rowder
ed sugar on the surface o? a lump of
loaf sugar and holding ,he latter in a
tumbler of water. He will observe
that the nowdered 8u ,r ar will remain
dry even when the lump has become
so thoroughly saturated that it
crumbles to pieces in his hands
The Horse.
(Scottish American.)
The following remarkable essay on
the horse is said to be from the pen
of an Indian student:
"The horse is a very noble quadru
ped. hut when he is angry he will not
do so He is ridden on the spinal
cord by the bridle and sadly the
driver places his foots on the stirrun
and divides his low’er limbs across
the saddle and drives his animal to
the meadow. He has four legs; two
are on the front side and two are
afterward. These are the weapons
on which he runs. He also defends
himself by extending those in the
rear in a parallel direction toward his
foe. but this he does only when in a
vexatious mood. There is no animal
like the horse. No sooner they s ‘C
their guardian or master than they
always cry for food, but it is always
at. the morning time. They have got
tails, but not so long as the sow and
other such like animals.”
According to the census of 1900 the
States was 230 millions, while turkey-
numbexed 6*6 millions, geese 5^ mil
lions, and ducks nearly 5 millions. It
is estimated that 300 million chickens
and other forms of poultry are con
sumed in this country each year an
average of less than four per capita.
Chickens are generally first choice
and the first to run out on the menu
of the hotel and the restaurant. The
market for first class poultry and eggs
have never yet been overdone. There
is no more staple and popular article
of food, .and it is safe to expect the
Joinand to develop in proportion to
the Increase of our population and to
the care uml intelligence with which
the markets are supplied. No stock
on the farm brings better relative re-
lurns for expenditures than Poultry,
and there is no better place for the in
dustry than in the Southern States.
The autumn season is ideal in th®
South, and game animals, birds and
fishes are many and varied, and
sportsmen can find something to their
liking without particular hardship or
discomfort even In remote localities.
In the mountains and woodlands the
four-footed tribes range from rabbits
to coons, deer and hear, w hile feather
ed inhabitants vary from quail and
duck to turkey—a long list of land
and water fowls.—with countless
kinds of fishes iu rivers, bays and
seas, all combining to make the South
the natural game preserve of the
country.
Between those who wish to drive
him Into matrimony by a tax. and
those who wish to keep him in it by
closing the divorce courts, the bache

after.

Letter to D. C. Ross.
Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sir: No man is in a position
to influence men with regard to their
property more than you in that little
room where they tell you their
troubles. Pity, if you don’t know
how to keep a house dry and sound,
any sort of structure, house .store
factory warehouse shop barn fence—
any sort of fence, except rail; with
paint.
What paint? The pain that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting i; on costs twice as
much as the paint.
That is short: but that’s all: it in
eludes the rest: One paint wears
long, another wears short; but the
one that wears long is the Least-gal
lons paint; least-gallons means nure
and strong, and most gallons means
adulterated and weak, besides small
gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests
in the United States; not the busi
ness of making it; no, the business
of paint, taking care of property.
Paint, is worth a great deal more
than it costs, .and the best costs least:
