INCREASING THE CROPS.
Vast as are our American crops, (ho
Immense bulk gathorcd from their ex
tension can bo almost indefinitely en
larged by careful selection of tho
seeds. Despite tho fact that figures
estimating the annual yield cannot bo
properly realized, wo aro but Just be
ginning to understand tho Intensive
and residual forco stored up in the
material bandied. In former times,
boyond common prudenco and a gen
eral survey, llttlo attention was paid
to the condition of tbo seed. Rough-and-ready
methods were sufficient
Today, with nicest exactitude, this
material is being examined, car by
car, and tho fittest only selected.
Cross-fertilization and seed selection
hnvo becomo factors of great moment
in tbo modern agriculturist's vocation,
and applied science Is working won
ders with cereals and other food crops,
adding moro bushels to tho acre, more
load on the harvest cart and millions
of dollars to tho market. Wheat, for
Instance, can be cultivated to meet
local conditions of soil and climate,
and it has been estimated that follow
ing out this "selective" hint, our an
nual yield might bo twlco tho amount
now quoted. A serlos of tests made
by tho United States department of
agriculture resulted In tho statement
that rejecting tho gralnB of low vi
tality when sorting out seed means
b guln of 14 per cent, on tho crop. On
tho 'basis of last year's total grain
production this means 437,000,000
more bushels, or moro than $200,000,
000 valuation on tho farms.
All tho outdoor sports so dear to
Americans nro now In full swing. Wet
lays are giving placo to sunshlno ones,
Increasing tho enjoyment for tho
young and old who delight in being
in tho open air. Tho athlotlcally in
clined who have been exercising in
gymnasiums all winter nro now ablo

air. Gymnasium work la excellent,
but nil instructors aro pleased when
they can send their charges outdoors
to got Into real action In Borne fas
cinnting sport. Tho nthleto in nover

fresh air is also Invigorating for thoso
who do not indulgo In physical stunts.
Tho Indoor worker should try to got
all tho fresh air ho can at some period

The secretary of the navy has abol

A man who fell In lovo with a Chi

REPRESENTATIVE Albert Johnson,

PREPARING FOR WHEAT
Much Depends on Method to Be
Used and on Season.
Under Irrigation Plowing 3hould Pref
erably Be Done In Fell, Followed
by Disk and Harrow to Con-
serve Molcture.
Tho best preparation of land for
wheat depends upon wliether spring
wheat or winter wheat is to be grown
nnd whether "Dry Farming" or Irriga
tion, Bays tho Colorado Farmer. Some
thing will nlso depend upon season
nnd tho forwardness of tho work.
For Spring Wheat. Under irriga
tion the plowing should preferably be
done In tho fnll, except oil lands sub
ject to plowing. Following tho plow
Bhould come tho disk and harrow.
This treatment may look unnecessary,
but the better soil and soil moisture
conditions resulting from such treat
ment pay. The soil so treated Is com
puct and moist below nnd loose at tho
surface, while the soil left as tho
plow turns It over Is more often dry
nnd Huffy as deep as the furrow slice.
In tho first Instance there Is pioisture
enough present to start the crop and
usually keep It growing some time.
In tho second plnce, the seed must bo
irrigated up or lie and wait for a
favorable rain. Fall plowing may bo
deeper, If properly managed, than
spring plowing. Deep plowing follow
ed by proper treatment gives higher
yields. Deep" plowing to be most suc
cessful must be dono sometime before
planting In order to allow some weath
ering. Plowing which for any reason,
Is done Immediately before planting
should bo shallow, not over rive inches.
Under this condition, it will give high
er yields than deep plowing.
Tho land need not be plowed follow
ing such crops as sugar beets or pota
toes. In this case, the land Is bP3t
disked and harrowed after the crop
is harvested, as the harvesting pro
cess works the soil deeply. The only
further spring treatment needed will
bo disking, harrowing nnd leveling.
Spring wheat should be planted early.
Winter Wheat Under Irrigation.
Greater yields aro produced the earl
ier tho plowing. Tho essential differ
ence In preparing the seed bed for
winter from that of spring wheat, is
that plowing for winter wheat, espe
cially If it follows another grain, must
be early. If plowing for winter wheat,
which is to be planted after grain or
alfalfa, can bo done in July or early
In August so much tho better.
Both winter and spring wheat do
best on a well compacted seed bed.
This Is due to the fact that heavy
lands are better natural wheat lands
thnn sandy ones. There Is, also, an
advantage In having a well compacted,
well fined furrow slice. A soil in such
condition presents a much better feed
ing area for crop roots. The small
or feeding roots are neither bothered
by clods or open air spaces, thus they
may como In intimate contact with
tho soil particles, tho most favorable
conditions for crop feeding and
growth.
Litter for Little Chicks.
Tho question of litter for pie llttlo
chicks is easily solved, Short cut al
falfa or clover make tho best of Ut
ter. One of the greatest mistakes in
providing litter tor fowls Is that the
poultryman falls to provide litter that
Is euBlly digestible, Bhould the fowls
chanco to swallow parts of It. Straw
and chaff make a good litter for
chicks and fowls, but they are not
easily digested, and therefore, should
not be used, especially in the case of
tho little chicks.
Breeding Disease.
Do not allow droppings and filth to
accumulate, nbr Jot drinking vessels
becomo coated with slime. Unless
great care 1b exercised thoro is dan
ger in having tho poultry plant lo
catod In tho same place year afttr
year, for to do bo Is to Increase dan
ger from disease.
Drained Orchards.
Tho drained orchard stands a far
better chanco to bo profitable than tho
undralned ono. Now Is the time to
figure on tiling.
A feed of oatB occasionally will be
relished by tho brood sow.
A ration rich in protein is tho only
ration lit for thb brood sow.
Protection from Inclement weather
will make the feed go farther.
The best money evor made is what
1b saved by avoiding mistakes.
A sow Bhould never bo In market
ablo condition when bhe 1b bred.
Tho shorter the fattening period
tho greater tho profit from the pen.

WHAT IMPROVED ROADS'MEAN
Bpcllo Prosperity and Happiness to
Every Community Which Has
Forethought to See Blccslngs.
(By It. E. CLDS.)
Good roads aro conducive to better
jchools, live rural churches, pleasant
rides, good markets, Boclal advance
ment, a closer bond of sympathy nnd
co-operation between tho farmer and
his city counin who works at the forge,
(ho lathe or tho spindle. It spells
prosperity and happiness to every com
munity which has the means and
business forccight to see the manifold
blessings which a scientific system of
good roads secures for Its people. Mud
roads spell an enormous mud tax be
side which our tariff is like a pygmy
to an elephant.
Again, good roads annihilate dis
tances and rob farming of tho dread
nnd drudgery of rural seclusion, this
fact being notably apparent where a
farmer is the wire and happy owner
of a highquallty, dependable nnd eco
nomical motor car. Mud roads bring
social llfo on tho farm to low ebb,
empty tho rural churches, make many
little red school houses but a mem
ory and populato tho country with
floating tonants who caro very little
for the growth and perpetuation of
the institutions which are the bulwark
of our national greatness.
Then good roads save tlmo, save
horces and wngons, automobiles and
gasoline. They enable the farmer to
market, at minimum cost, In rain or
shine, his perlshablo produce such ub
fruits, vegetables, milk, butter, eggs
nnd meat. Mud roads compel tho
farmer to leavo such produce either
go to waste or deterioration, or what
Is near to either, deter him from pro
ducing any of these prC&lbfarlng com
modities because he has no dependable
and convenient avenue for marketing
them
In cases of acute illness good roads
enable the physician to brirj? Bpeedy
relief to tho oleic annually and save
the lives of hundreds of our men, wom
en and children, a fact which more
than trebly compensates any amount
of money which wo may spend ns a
nation, stnto, county, city or town,
flood roads spell humanity, relief, mer
cy, life, growth and prosperity, where
as mud roads too often spell poverty,
weakness, decay, sickness, suffering
nnd death.
As road Improvement is of nation
wide interest it should bo supported
by our national, Btate nnd county gov
ernments. This Is notably true with
interstate highways, for it is manifest
ly unjust to tax all the improvement
to (ho abutting land, to tho county or
oven to the state. Why should uo our
national government promote inter
state commerce through good country
roads ns well ns through river and har
bor Improvements?
Good and patriotic men Ecem to bo
at variance as to what Is tho best sys
tem of building roads. Some advocato
three or 'more crosE-continant trunk
highways to bo built and maintained
equally by the federal government and
by the various states through which
tho trunk highways go. Others favor
tho Improvement of these roads first
which run to tho county seat, pro
vided It Is a good railroad market
town, and If not, to the most acces
sible large railroad town In the county.
They believe that these roads should
be properly ditched, graded, rolled and
dragged. Culverts should bo built
where the water is Inclined to flow
aerobe tho road during heavy rains.
Grades should bo raised In low plnces,
hills materially dug down nnd good
bridges built over creeks and streams
of nil kinds.
Tho citizens of a given county
could by this plan easily determine
on the first ton miles of good roads
to be built and maintained. Then
the next five or ten and so on fur
ther away from tho principal town or
towns Sn tho county until every foot
of dirt road In the county is put in
first-class condition.
The good leavpn is working In tho
minds, hearts and consciences of the
American people. Good roads, to,
them, now means moro than ever be
fore, tho avenues which leads to na
tional strength; prosperity and hap
piness to which every good citizen
Bhould bo glad to give his duo meas
uro of enthusiastic support.
Kernel of Problem.
Water will change tho best of earth
roads Into a streak of mud In a very
short tlmo and right hero Is tho ker
nel of our road problem. How shall
w-o keep tho water from soaking luto
tho travolod part of our roads? Thoro
aro many who soerh to be willing to
tell us how, but very few are ablo to
"show us." Tilling and dragging "aro
(ho only good things that have "de
livered tho goods" to date.
Kansas Rock Road.
The first milo of rock-road in Kan
sas, running wost of Garnott, whon
completed, cost $1,415, and much of
tho work on it was done by the farm
ers themselves. The county contrib
uted $200, a city club $100, and tho
residents of the town $G5.
Small Farms Best.
Some men think It a fine thing to
own big farms, nnd so It Is, provided
one knows how to mannge them to
advantage, but a little farm kept
well in hand fattens the bank ac
count moro than a big one negleoted.

Cannon of Solid Rock.
When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of St. John
they defended their fortifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con
tained an entire barrel of powder, and
as it was not possible to vory the aim
of these cannon 50 wore made ready,
facing various directions from whlcb
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms of de
!enso became known to tho world the
Idea was taken up of transporting
rocks to summits to servo the same
purpose, but it was soon recognized to
bo Impracticable, and tho cannon ol
Malta, bored in solid rock, 'have
passed into history as tho sole wea
pons of Uio kind ever known. Hap

Changes of Climate.
A scientist who recently Investigated
tho causes of secular variations in tem
perature at tho earth's surface thinks
that they are moro probably duo to
changes In the amount of carbonlo
acid In tho atmosphere than to varia- .
tlons In the heat of tho sun. If the
amount of carbonic ncid that tho air
now contains was diminished a little
moro than half, the mean tomperaturo
all over the earth would, It is stated,
drop about eight degrees, which would
bo sufficient to bring on another gla
cial period. On the other hand, an in
crease of carbonic ncid to between two
and three times Hb present amount
would raise tho mean temperature 15
degrees and renew the hot tlmeB of
tho Eocene epoch.

Since Leaving Off Coffee.
Many personB suffer from poor
memory who nover suspect coffee haa
anything to do with it.
Tho drug caffclms in coffee, acta
Injuriously on tbo nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at ono timo,
too llttlQ in another part. This ofton
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
"I am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was tho
causo of tho stomach and heart trou
blo I suffered from for many years,
until about four years ago," writes a
Kansas woman.
"A kind neighbor induced mo to
quit coffeo and try Postum. I had
been suffering severely and was
greatly reduced In flesh. After using
Postum a llttlo while I found myself
Improving. My heart beats became
regular and now I seldom evor no
