This story Is current lu the ArkiJ noticed that the liquid will rise st will be in the tube than in the vessel higher In which the water Is contained. This us alKo. Is due to capillarity. Experiment shows that the smaller the tube the higher the water will rise, but the larger the tube the faster the move ment. Now, the soil may be Imag ined as filled with multitudes of these tiny tubes, through which capillary water rises to the surface, when the surface becomes dry enough to attract it. This force of capillarity Is the one thing upon which the farmer must depend to bring the water In the soil close enough to the surface to be reached by the roots of crop plants. At the same time his greatest care must be to prevent the moisture from being lost by evaporation, which proceeds with extraordinary rapidity in the excessively dry atmosphere of semi-ariAmerica. From the capib lary water the plant roots derive their supply of water and with it they take up the soil elements necessary to their growth. "The third form of soil moisture is hygroscopic water.', This is. water that cannot be "dried out' or removed from the soil by natural evaporation. It Is a wholly negligible quantity."

Everyone knows or ought to know, regions Is naturally rich and generally free from objectionable traits, and of a texture admirably adapted to the best farming. It has been demonstrated, beyond the peradventure of a doubt, concerning farir.lng carried on in those regions ui'ler fclentlflc soil culture,- that If care be taken to conserve the moisture, and tint waste It, that Is: If the soil be so treated that Ha fertility be made sellable plowing, packing, reeding, and cultivation suited to existing conditions farming becomes an exact science, and tbe raising of large crops a certainty. A great pcrcntagc of the vast plains of the west is admirably adapted for ideal farn Ing, quite free from boulders and stumps. Pry iarmlng Is cheaper than IrrlKS-tfnand. In addition, has come decid ed advantages over the Intter system In the first place, dltrhes are required and no 'il:cquent repairs needed, and no laborers are hired for Irrigators. And. secondly.

While the to called system of dry farming are supposed to be practiced in the semi arid regions only, it has been found by actual practice and scientific experiments that the dry farming methods apply with equal force to the farmers who grow crops In thoe sections which are assumed lo have regularly a sumclent amount of rainfall. prae-Me- s A "and so will 1."

That the philosophy of scientific soil culture may be thoroughly understood the following paragraphs are from an article written by Prof. J. Jj, Tinsley of the New Mexico experimen' station. "Water in the soli may take the form of 'free water.' Vnriiiinrv w or 'hygroscopic water.' 'Free water la water under the Influence of gravity, percolating through the spaces in the soil, and seeking a lower and lower level; ultimately it forms films around the boII particles and fills in the minute spaces between them. In this conation it no longer tends to sink deeper into the ground; it Is no longer influenced by gravity; it has, in fact, ceased to be 'free water,' but has become 'capillary wnter.' "Wren every soli graip has been covered with a film of .'capillary water,' and all the spaces are filled, the soil la said to be saturated; it will hold no more, and any excess is 'free water.' sinking deeper Into the soil and saturating it to still greater depth.

Without the small pleasing little skeleton cap shown in the picture, it retains all tbe fascination of the Psyche coiffure, and is thoroughly practical for present millinery modes. The hairdresser has taken certain small liberties ailh her classic model in order to accommodate tbe coiffure to tbe bat and brow of the wearer, and they have turned out to be an improvement, since they enhance tbe beauty of both tbe face and hat, Tbe head dress, shown In our photograph, was adapted specially to this coiffure and leaves nothing to be desired. It may be said in passing that the head dress shown Is made of gold ribbon and rhtnestone ornaments set In gold. The aigrette at the side Is pure white. Kvery one will see at a glance Its simplicity of construction, and appreciate the beauty of this coiffure ornament. The foundation on which It Is fashioned is simply buckram cut In narrow bands and wired before covering with ribbon. It does not require an abundance of natural hair to build this style of The hair, however, must be coiffure. waved before It Is dressed. The regular ondulatlons of the Marcel wave may be used, but are cot absolutely essential. The hair Is parted off In the usual manner, and that portion about the face and neck waved in loose. Irregular curves. All the remainder of the hair (much or little) is' lied at the back of the head and arranged In a coil. This forms the foundation for tbe balance of the colffun. If the hair is thick and heavy it will not be necessary to use a roll at all. Tbe hair at each side In this case Is simply "ratted," that Is, combed toward the scalp Instead of from It. and then lightly smoothed with the comb on the outside. It is then brought back to the coll, pinned to It, and tbe ends fastened under IL A small portion of the waved hair on top of tbe head is treated In the same BEST Lame Sk s By For BAG FOR THE BROOM way and brought back lying loose! over the top, with Its end fastened un der the coil. The hair across the forehead Is arranged In a loose pompadour, the ends lightly twisted, and brought back to the coll If long enough to reach. If not, they are concealed under that portion on top of the bead wblch has already been fastened Into the coll. This pompadour is then pulled forward and down over the brow and parted lightly with the fingers, a little to one side. Invisible pins, fasten It to place, and it is worn more or less over, tbe brow to suit tbe individual taste in this matter. A very full cluster of false puffs Is placed over and around the coll, where they are firmly pinned to A barette is adjusted under place. them, supporting the short locks at the nape of the neck, which usually prove so refractory. Finishing touches are given by pulling the side hilr against the puffs and pinning it to them with invisible pins and curling any short locks which may straggle about tbe nape of the neck Into little lings. These arc held in place with tbe fluid which hairdressers use for that purpose. The natural hair, unless very curly, will not make satisfactory curls and puffs, and even when one possesses the requisite quantity of naturally curly hair it is much more difficult to manr.ge. than the false hair. Moreover, it wl!l not stay well dressed as long and com times far more time in doing, o that It la economy to buy puffs and curl. Of all things, however, one hould get a perfect match in color and texture to one's own hair. , When the natural hair is very thin If will be necessary to use additional balr across tbe front of the head, for the hair dress Just described. Several styles are made in rront pieces that will fill all the requirements, and when combed In with the natural hair are not to be detected. In adjusting tbe hat to this coiffure a portion of the hair about the face should be pinned to the underbrim or facing of tbe bat.
