The article whs clipped ly hint from
Hoard'n D.ili Jin-' 11 of AuiikiI 7:

yet seen nny drawbacks to that poll
er. There are many reasons wtiicl)
led us finally from merely thinking
K over to doing the thing. We will
numerate some of the most Import
t. 1. To break up the plow-pnrk bIi
tachea below the surface which had
keen formed by over a half century
f shallow plowing, and which we
(and Impossible with. the ordinary
f-Uw. This "plow-park" prevented
tts moisture fro ingoing down in
kMvy rains; also prevented the crop
rots from natural extension which
tfcsr should have.
2. There was a large amount of
tart fertility In that stiff subsoil
Mutt only needed to be broken up,
sMxed with the upper soil, and the
mir allowed to circulate through it to
wme at once available for the
growing of crops.
I. Deep plowing provided for
tor age of excess water in time of
aeavy rains and lessened the liabili
ty to gullying and the washing off of
tas surface soil.
4. In times of severe drouth this
fcrken-up subsoil acts as a sponge
t bold the moisture that is pouring
p from the lower earth at the rate,
at times, of a fair rainfall a day. If
ys cannot give your crops the wa
ter they need from a downpour of
Moisture, you can in this way make
m of the up-pour that is constantly
rising by exaporation.
I. Deep plowing greatly increas
es crumb-structure of the soil, as
Professor King calls it in bis book
a Farm Management." That means
that you have changed the mixture
M the subsoil, made It more mellow,
.broken up its solid, pasty condition,
taut .enabling the roots and root
hairs to range more freely through
It and derive Increased nourishment.
6. Deep plowing of stiff subsoils
Is beneficial in times of excesnlve
rains as well as in severe drouth.
You will notice thnt In the appear
ance especially of rorn, clover, and
alfalfa.
When you come afterward to plow
In the ordinary manner you will no
tice a great change In the eiue of
plowing In the Ioohp, mellow condi
tion of your land. We believe it will
pay richly on clay loam noitn to give
It one plowing twelve to sixteen in
ches In depth. Our Urol trial was
three years ago and it a pood fleets
are shown yet. Dow often this
should be done remains yet to be
Been.
We have not observed any ill ef
fects. The crop of corn, barley and
alfalfa on the deep plowed portions
of the farm have been manifestly
superior to those grown on the land
plowed from six to eight inches deep.
It Is hard to escape from the con
viction such a fact gives.

The Rural Telephone
In the United States the telephone has been ex
tended to small towns, farms and ranches much mor
generally than in any other country.
In American towns of under 100,000 people, and on
the farms and ranches, there is an average of one tel
ephone for every 12 persons; in Europe there is less
than one telephone for every 200 people.
Nearly 58 of American telephone exchanges are
in very small towns with less than 300 subscribers.
In the small towns and on the farms in Europe the
telephone is a near curiosity.
' The private companies in America have given the
American people the lowest telephone rates any
where and have extended the service until this coun
try now has more telephones and more telephone
wire than all the rest of the world.

Dr. J. E. Moore, who settled in
Alliance in 1898 and who left about
eight years ago, spending his time in
the west since, arrived in Alliance
last week for a stay of some time,
visiting old friends and attending to
business matters.
The following interesting article,
regarding Dr. Moore, is taken from
I The Alliance Herald, published in
March. 1904:
"The doctor is a native of Cumber
land, O., and was born Apr. 22, 1858.
Ills parents resided on a farm dur
ing his youthful days and here young
Moore attended the home schools un
til he had reached the age of 18
years, when he entered the Muskin
gum literary college at New Concord,
0., remaining one year. He then
went to Alliance, O., and entered the
Mt. Union literary college for a term
of two years. The doctor then re
turned to hit old borne, where he
remained for a period of five years,
after which he began studying medi
cine in the College of Physicians and
Surgeons in Baltimore, graduating in
1890. He then served In the sever
al hospitals of the city, being one of
the resident medical appointees. The
doctor then entered the service of the
Hebrew hospital and also the Ger
man hospital, where 2,000 patients
were daily attended. Having all the
experience necessary in the hospitals
of Baltimore, the doctor located at
Chandlorville, O., where he practiced
medicine for two and one-half years
He then located at Utica, Nebr., but
Ion account of weak eyes was obliged
I to abandon further work, and spent
18 months at his old home in Ohio,

roughage was alfalfa, prairie hay,
and silage and the grain was corn
and cottonseed cake. Alfalfa, corn,
and silage formed the most satisfac

corn second. Cottonseed cake was
not a profitable substitute for alfalfa

Nothing to Advertise
"I've got nothing to advertise,"
says the grocer. Ridiculous. If he's
got anything to sell, he's got some
thing to advertise. Advertising Is
nothing but salesmanship. If he's
got any talking points about his
goods or his service, or his superior
supply, or his more favorable prices,
or his ability to make quick delivery,
or his superior skill in selection, or
packing, or the uniformity of quality
and packing, or freshness of goods
he s got something to advertise. His
salesman argues these things to a
hundred customers, retailers or con
sumers, or hotels, or whoever they
be why not go further and tell It to
men the salesman knows nothing
about.
