He was closely identified with the politics of the state, and managed the campaign of Senator Bofoert L. Taylor in his race against the late Senator E. W. Carmack. Gen eral Brandon was born in Dover March 6, 18CC. Eat all the good food you like. Quit dieting. You don’t have to diet to cure dyspepsia. In fact you can not cure dyspepsia or indigestion that way, but rather you must add strength to the weak stomach by taking something that will digest the food which the stomach can not digest. Kodol is the only thing known today that will do this, for Kodol is made of natural digestive Juices found in a healthy stomach, and it digests all food completely. Kodol is pleasant to take, and is guaranteed to give relief in any case of stomach trouble. Sold by S. B. Crawley Drug Co. Is it cruel to keep a horse locked up in a stable without exercise?

Washington, Dec. 16.—To Florida goes the distinction of getting the first National Forest created east of the Mississippi river. President Roosevelt has just signed a procla mation setting aside and naming the Ocalla National Forest in Marion county is eastern Florida and another proclamation creating the Dakota National Forest in Billings county, North Dakota. Inasmuch as the last named National Forest is the first In North Dakota, the two proclama tions add two more states to the list of ‘hose wherein land will be put un der scientific forest administration. There are now nineteen states, and Alaska, having National Forests. Before the creation of the Ocala, in Florida, the two forests in Arkan sas, the Ozark and the Arkansas, were the esaternmost National For ests. Practically all the other Nat ional Forests are in the Rocky Moun tains and the Pacific Coast States. The Florida forest has an area of 201,480 acres, of which about one- fourth has been taken up under va rious land laws. It covers a plateau between the St. John’s and Ochlawa- ha rivers and at no point is an ele vation exceeding 150 feet above sea level obtained. The area is by nature better fitted for the production of for est growth than for any other pur pose. Nearly all of the area, how ever, seems particularly well adapted to the growth of sand pine which is even now replacing the less valuable species, and with protection form fire almost the entire area will in time undoubtedly be covered with a dense stand of this species. The long-leaf pine, a niuch more valuable commercial tree than the sand pine, appears rather sparsely on this For est and is confined principally to the lower flat lands along the streams on the borders cf the Forest. In addition to the pines and scrub growths, bald cypress, cabbage pal metto and tupelo gum, gradually changing to water oak, ash, elm, magnolia, hickory, and maple are found bordering the numerous ponds and lakes which are scattered abun dantly throughout the confines of this Forest. Fire has played a very important part in bringing about the present poorly forested condition of the Oca la as year after year large fires have burned uninterruptedly over this tract, killing all vegetation and con suming the . humus of the soil. Nat urally protected portions which have not been subject to the flames, prove positively however, that the soil will rapidly respond to a little care taking and that the prevention of fires would eventually mean the reforestation of practically the entire area. No saw mill operations have been conducted on the area included in the Ocala National Forest. Turpen tining by boxing is carried on over contiguous areas and through the careless and antiquated methods used the future pine crop of the adjoin ing region is greatly jeopardized. The soil is of little value for agricul tural purposes and about the only crop which can be produced that will be of lasting value is sand pine, and with proper care and attention there should in time be a valuable forest of this species. The new Dakota National Forest consists of 14,080 acres in the Bad Lands region. It is located in Bill ings county and lies an equal dis tance between the Northern Pacific Ttailroad on the north and the Chica go, Milwaukee and St. Paul on the south. Its creation is Important for It mears that an experimental field for forest planting has J)een secured In North Dakota, the feast fcre3*ed state in the Union, having only ore per cent, of tice growth. The Foi- est Service expects to establish foi est nurseries with the hope that in time to come the area may be re forested by artificial means. This feature ’’s expected to prove a very good object lessen to the settlers, who it is hoped will in turn plant windbreaks around their farms. The Fcrest is very open and for the most part contains a scattering stand of western yellow pine timbei. Along the creek bed is found ash, box elder, cottonwood, elm, and birch. Cedar breaks are also found on precipitous slopes bordering the streams. Western yellow pine is the only merchantable species, however, on the Forest and the average stand per acre is not over 2,000 feet. The reproduction of pine is fairly good wherever mature trees occur, but owing to the open condition of the Forest and the dense growth of grass it is for the most part unsatisfac tory. There is but little timber that will re sold fio.n the Forest at the pres ent time since this area is very iso lated, being surrounded on all sides by vast plains. Many homesteaders have in the past come to this Forest for timber for logs to build their houses. Since the tompletion of 'he Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul It. R., Billing county is rapidly being settled and while stock grazing is at the present time the most important industry It is very probable that fanning will become the mostf impor tant industry within the next few years. It is very Important, there fore, that the timber which now re mains should be conserved exclusive ly for the use of the home builder. At the present time there are but seven homesteaders within the bound aries of the Forest, but all of the odd sections are alienated land being owned by the Western Land Secur ities Company. This company hat been selling portions of their hold ings during the past few yean. Very little of the Government land within the boundaries of the Forest is suit able for farming purposes, since it is quite rough and broken and water is very scarce. It is the country out side of the Forest which is now be ing taken up by settlors. No saw mill operations have been conducted on the area. When the Northern Pacific R. R., was being built a larger number of trees were cut for railroad ties and together with the logs which have been pm cured for house building by settlers this is the only use which has been made of the timber on the Forest. It is understood that the logs used in the construction of President Roosevelt’s cabin, which now stands in the State Capitol grounds at Bis marck, N. D., were obtained from the area now included in the Dakota National Forest. Governor Burke of N. D., is very much interested in this Forest and thinks it will be of inestimable value to the people who live in the region wnere the Forest is created. Both of the new National Forests, the Ocala in Florida, and the Dakota, will L-e pul under administration by the Forest Service as soon as possi hie. INTENSIVE TILAGE. Good Advice Regarding the Growing of Corn. At the commecenment of the Farm ers’ Co-operative Demonstration Work in the Southern States it was found necessary to outline the funda mental principles of good farming and 4.0 insist that the tillers of the soil should become fami liar with them and practice them as a first step in the betterment of farm life. We have previously stated these first principles, but possibly they should be more fully explained. Preparation of the Seed Bed. Prepare a deep and thoroughly pul verized seed bed, well drained; break in the fall to a depth of 8, 10, or 12 inches, according to the soil, with implements that will not bring too much of the subsoil to the surface. (The foregoing depths should be reached gradually). The presence of heat, air, and mois ture is essential to chemical and germ action in the preparation of plant food in the soil. The depths to which these penetrate the soil de pend upon the depth of the plowing, provided the soil is well drained. There is no use in plowing down into a subsoil full of water. It has been proved beyond question that the roots of plants penetrate the soil deeper and feed deeper in deeply plowed land. Thus, in general, it may be stated that when the soil is plowed three inches deep the plants have three inches of food; when plowed six inches deep, they have six inches of food, and when plowed ten inches deep they have ten inches of food. The fact that the bottom por tions of the plowed land are not as rich in available plant food as the top portions shows the necessity of getting more air and heat down to them by deeper tillage. The most essential condition for fertile soil is a constant supply of moisture, so that a filem of water can envelop the soil particles and absorb nutritive elements. The hair roots of plants drink this for nourishment. If there is any more than enertigh to serve as films for the soil particles and capillary water, there Is too much and It should be drained off. This can be determined by digging a hole twenty inches deep. If there is standing water in the bottom of the hole, it indicates too much water in the soil or subsoil. The capacity of a given soil to hold film and capillary moisture depends upon how finely it is pulverized and upon the amount of humus in it. Un plowed lands retain but little water. Thoroughly pulverized soil three inches deep can not store enough to make a crop. In the Southern States there are every year periods of drought, some times not serious, but generally suf ficiently protracted to reduce the crop. The remedy for this Is increas ed storage capacity for moisture. This can be accomplished by deep and thorough tillage and by filling the soil with humus (partly decayed vegetation). The effect of deep til- large has been explained. The effect of humus is to greatly Increase the storage capacity of soils for water and to reduce evaporation. A pound of humus will store seven and one- half times as much moisture as a pound of sand, and the sand will lose its water by evaporation three and one-half times more rapidly than the humus. A clay soil will store only about one-fourth as much moisture as humus, and will lose it by evaporation twice as rapidly. Plants use an enormous quantity of water. An acre of good corn will absorb and evaporate during Its growth nearly ten inches of water. About three-fourths of this amount will be required during the last seventy-five days of its growth, or at the rate of two and two-fifth inches of water a month. This is in addit ion to evaporation from the soil, which, even with the retarding in fluence of a dust mulch, will amount to several inches each month in mid summer. In case the land is plowed only three or four inches deep, though thoroughly pulverized, it will store an amount of moisture entirely insufficient to supply crop require ments in any protracted drought. These shallow and generally poorly prepared seed beds are the principal cause of the low corn yields In the South, and they affect the cotton yields similarly, but not so much, be cause cotton Is a more drought-resist ing plant than corn. If planting is done at all, it is folly to prepare a seed bed so shallow as to bring about the almost total loss of the crop some years and a reduced crop every year. Many farmers plow or cultivate their corn nearly as deeply as they break their land in preparing a seed bed; this leaves no space for roots in the pulverized and aired soil. Roots occupy a large space. If all the roots of a single vigorous cornstalk were placed end to end they would reach more than a mile, and if allowed by the plowing they will fill the soil to a considerable depth and feed in all portions of it. The Root System of Com. At the Wisconsin Agricultural Ex periment Station it was foond that when corn was three feet high the roots had penetrated the soil for two feet and thoroughly occupied It. At maturity the roots were four feet deep. At this time the upper laterals were about four inches from the sur face. At the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station the corn roots had penetrated three and one-half feet deep and fully occupied the ground ninety days after planting. At the Minnesota Agricultural Ex periment Station the corn roots had penetrated twelve inches deep and had spread laterally eighteen inches eighteen days atfer planting. In most portions of the South nothing less than an eight-inch seed bed win insure even a fair corn crop, and ten inches is safer. Some soils may re quire more. From six to eight inches of preparation for cotton corresponds to eight and ten inches for corn, so far as the requirements of the plant are concerned. What is Deep Plowing? Plowing three, four, five, or six inches deep is only common plowing. In our instructions nothing less than eight inches is considered “deep" plowing. We are not advocating a single plowing of eight inches in depth once in two or three years, but the preparation of an eight-inch seed bed thoroughly pulverized and filled with humus. It should be plowed and cross plowed to that depth, or if cross plowing can not be safely done on account of hills then it should be plowed twice in the same direction and disked thoroughly or the smooth ing harrow repeatedly used. When Should This Plowing Be Done? Always plow in the fall before the winter rains set in; the earlier after the first of October the better. Al ways use a cover crop of oats, barley, wheat, or rye, if possible. Every ob servant farmer has noted that seeds germinate more quickly and that plants grow more rapidly on tall breaking than on spring, when every thing on the farm is crowding. A cover crop is a net gain. It keeps the soil from washing, it utilizes the plant food that otherwise might es cape into the air, and it adds humus. The soil is improved by the crop and winter grazing is provided. In plow ed land the loss of plant food is less than in unplowed land; more plant food may be produced and more can be stored. In case a cover crop is used the loss of plant food is slight. An objection is sometimes urged that fall-plowed soil becomes satu rated with water during the winter and remains wetter and colder later in the spring than land left unbroken in the fall. This is true only upon land not sufficiently drained and where the breaking is shallow. Water passes through deep breaking readily, and with reasonable drainage it is ready for planting earlier than lands broken in the spring. When land is nearly level and drainage poor, the soil should not be flat-broken, but left in ridges or nar row lands about five or six feet wide, suitable for planting, with a dead furrow between. This provides win ter drainage and keeps the pulverized soil out of the water, which is im portant even if unbroken. Deepening The Soil. The advice to go down gradually is given solely because the inexperienc ed farmer may try to plow too deeply the first time and bring to the surface too much of the subsoil. The best plan is to double plow; that is, to fol low the breaking plow in the same furrow with a narrower plow or a scooter (with sides removed) and go down as deeply as desired. Generally the disc plow may be sent down eight or ten inches with impunity if the plowing is done in the fall, and especially if the land is plowed twice or more. There is no question that breaking and pulverizing to a depth of eight to ten or twelve inches is economical. The cost of breaking ten inches deep when done with a disc plow should not be more than 50 cents an acre in excess of breaking six inches deep. Whether a plant has plenty of food all the time or only part of the time makes the difference between a good crop and a poor crop. Is It Advisable to Plow Deeper Than Eight, Ten, or Twelve Inches? The depth of plowing must be de termined by the farmer himself. He knows the conditions and is the best judge of the cost. In many sections, If done in the fall it undoubtedly pays to subsoil fifteen or twenty inches. This has been proved by some of the best farmers and experimenters In the world. Some subsoils in humid climates have been made so close and compact by the abundant rainfall that air does not penetrate them to aid in preparing plant food. Such fields, therefore, may not show any benefits of subsoiling until after two or mure years. It rarely pays to subsoil land in the spring, and it is never advisable to use the subsoil plow when the sub soil is fully saturated with water, even though the surface be fairly dry. Under such conditions of plowing the clay is pressed and packed, when the object is to pulverize it and allow the air to act upon It. Experience Agrees With Theory. No principle in agriculture has been more thoroughly demonstrated than the value of a deep, thoroughly pul verized seed bed. The Romans plowed on an average nine inches deep—always three times for a crop, and in still lands nine times. They did not call three inches plowing;” It was only “scarifying.” The Flemish farmers were the first to follow the better lines of agricul ture after the Dark Ages. They de voted their efforts to three main points: (1) The frequent and deep pulverization of the soli, (2) the ac cumulation of manure, and (3) the destruction of weeds. A deeper and more thoroughly pul verized seed bed was the foundation upon which England built an improv ed agriculture, and this principle has been generally accepted there for more than one hundred and sixty years, until the average production has increased nearly fivefold. A late letter from Hon. William Saunders, director of the Central Ex periment Farm, Ottawa, Canada, states that farmers usually plow shal lowly immediately after harvest (Au gust) “to preserve moisture and des troy weeds. • • * In October they commonly plow eight Inches deep Any plowing done in the spring months is usually shallow, not more than six Inches deep.” Eight inches of breaking in October in Canada, where frosts penetrate three or four feet deep, is better for moisture storage than plowing to a depth of fifteen inches in the Southern States. The writer has visited a number of Southern agricultural colleges this year. In every case the directors of their experiement stations favored a deep and thoroughly prepared seed j bed. The Georgia Experiment Station {bulletins repeatedly urge a deep, mel- i low. and rich seed bed for corn, and I they insist that if the soil is not na turally such it should he made so by deep tillage and the addition of humus. Bulletin No. 63 ot the Georgia Ex periment Station, on “Cotton,” states that “fourteen years of experimenta tion have justified certain conclus ions that may be accepted as practi cally final.” Tlie following is o.;e of them: “Thorough breaking and com mingling of the upper soil, gradually increasing the depth to eight or ten i inches, using plow and harrow, is more effective than deeper but less I thorough pulverizing.” On the sugar plantations of Loui siana the tillage for cane averages twelve to fifteen inches in depth. On the Eva plantation, in the Ha waiian Islands, the average depth of plowing is thirty inches. This plan tation produces the largest crops of sugar cane to the acre in the world. In the Farmers’ Co-operative De monstration Work the importance of a deep and thoroughly prepared seed bed like a garden has been most ! widely demonstrated. Thousands of tests have been made each year by exact and painstaking farmers to affy : extent that haves no prssiblo room' for doubt as to the great value o" a deen and thoroughly prepared seed , bed. Concretely stated, a deep, thorough ly pulverized seed bed filled with humus has the following advantages: i (1) It provides more food, be- { cause it increases chemical action and multiplies bacterial life in a large , bodv of soil. (2) It stores more moisture and , it loses its moisture less rapidly on account of its cooler lower strata and 1 the presence of more humus. (3) It increases the number of roots that a plant will throw out. ; (4) It allows plants to root deep- | or and find permanent moisture. " | (5) It largely obviates the W’ces- I sity of terracing, because it holds so i much water in suspension that heavy rainfalls will go to the bettem «nd be held by the drier earth above un til they can be absorbed by the sub soil. (6) Humus enables the soil to store more moisture, increrf es its temperature, makes it more porous, furnishes plant food, stimulates «he- mical action, and fosters bacterial life. Exceptions Due to Conditions of Soil and Subsoil. (1) Never plow below the line of standing water in the soft, because the subsoil can not he pulverized in water. The water level must first be drainage. (2) Do no deep fall plowing on light sandy land on dry, semiarid plains, and this especially applies to elevated sandy table-lands. Such lands can be helped by adding hu mus and using a winter cover crop of durum wheat. (3) Do not plow deeply or subsoil in the spring. The subsoil Is general ly too full of water, and It is too late for much effective action of the air upon the soil and for the winter rains to firm the subsoil before planting cotton. (4) Thin gray soils underlaid with yellow or stiff clay near the surface, most of the post-oak flats, and the comparatively level coast lands should be broken in ridges (back^urrowed) five, six, or seven feet wide, accord ing to the crop to be planted. Cotton and corn may be left thicker in the row to offset the wider space be tween the rows. The dead furrow between the rows should be aouble- plowed and made as deep as practi cable, with a good outlet for the water. This method will gradually deepen the soil, increase drainage, re duce washing, and give a larger and deeper body of loose, aired earth for the roots.
