familiar with the fact that a crust often forms beneath the soil mulch It is very difficult to prevent this formation if the dry period lasts for any considerable time It also causes a great deal of trouble in that it does not permit the growth of plants The so hard that it is becomes almost Impossible for the roots to penetrate This mulch ddes not form fallowed upon land that is summer but upon that which is growing a crop': The crust begins to form an inch underneath the loose surface and becomes thicker each succeeding If there is no crop upon the land day this hard layer can be easily removed but it is impossible to break up the crust without destroying the crop However this hard layer can be rendered partially harmless by the right kind of plowing and soil treatment says the Denver Field and Farm Its formation depends upon two factors— the drouth above and the moisture conditions below The moisture in dry soils falls upon the surface and is carried to the lower strata by gravity and by capillary attraction Upon very dry soils this moisture does not go to any considerable depth because there Is not a sufficient quantity to saturate all of the parthoroughly ticles For this reason we oftentimes find a dry layer beneath the moist stratum By keping a dust mulch on the surface we are able to prevent the rapid evaporation of this moisture Some people believe that after the moisture has gone down to a considerable depth it is with difficulty that the plants obtain the use of It This soil moisture does not rise to the surface at a very rapid rate and it the best results are obtained we must plant crops that go down after the moisture or handle the soil in such a way that the moisture is brought to the surface Good results will be obtained by plowing not only deeply six cr seven inches but eight or nine o: ten or twelve inches and only the pther day we saw a man who was cutting eleven Inches and it was indeed a charming sight to see It we plow six or seven Inches deep and then keep a three inch mulch over the surface and then if a two inch crust forms but little space left in which the roots could develop in this way can not Land handled It is sure crop produce a profitable to dry out before the season is over On tha ether hand if we plow from ten tm twelve inches deep we will have at least six Inches of the soil left for the crop before we come to tnc hard layer below the Rolling soil Increases the conductivity but reduces the moisture holding capacity of the land and promotes the formation of a crust in heavy clay or gumbo However soils these heavy compact soils dry out slowly and it sometimes five or six months to dry requires out six or seven inches Therefore if we have plowed ten or twelve inches deep the roots can obtain suffifrom the lower part cient moisture of the plowed land it Strawberry Growing Some strawberry growers are making fine profits from the hill system An excellent plan is to set the plants about 15 inches apart each way and No addicultivate with a wheel hoe tional plants are allowed to root and the runners must be clipped frequently in order to prevent this The hill system requires high fertility and frequent attention Marshall is one of the best varieties for this system HINTS an income when ft Is most needed and the farmer can pay cash and that thereby secure many advantages cannot be secured by credit FIND VALUE Rhode Island IN Farmer COAL Uses SHES Them to 'Advantage Behind Cattle — Possess Valuable Properties ot A Rhode Island correspondetn I ob Rural New Yorker says: serve In your paper some inquiries about the value of coal ashes with remarks upon their low analyses of ferAfter 40 years of tilizing materials farming I have learned to doubt the scivalue of many of these — entific dicta such 4s analyses of soils balanced rations all liming soils etc I use sifted ashes behind cattle and believe I find value in them not only as absorbents but as possessing other valuable properties I use my eyesight in farming and I notice that where coal ashes are scattered on walks the edges are always lush and dark greenThere Is a difference in coal ashes whether bituminous or anthracite and even between the products of different mines As illustrating my Incredulity of analyses I can recall that when Nicholas the founLongworth der of commercial viticulture in the west began planting vines at Cincinnati be hired a lot of boys to pick up and cut in small pieces all the leather boots and shoes they could find with which to fertilize his vines By analysis he was Justified

sheep do not own their lambs Just because they do not have any milk for them Instinct leads them to drive one away when they bear two Feed the outcast lamb for a few days and let the ewe have food

bird family in any great numbers in the parks of the city this year according to Donald Burns keeper of the aviary in the Central Park He refers to the English menagerie sparrows When he told his class of youngsters from the nearby Fifth avenue houses in his talk that all the best birds would be scarcer than ever because of the number of piratical sparrows the youngsters were inspired with a desire to go out and shoot all they could find But it remained for Dick the parrot who has recently celebrated his centenary to give voice to his feelings in a most determined way “Well I’ll be d— d!” And when that “damn” with a big "D” came from the dignified parrot Burns looked aghast “I wonder who could ha’ taught him that?” exclaimed the keeper During the last week the window beside Dick’s cage has been open and was inIt is believed his vocabulary creased by some of the frequenters of the nearby benches HALF TON OF HONEY FOUND Workmen Tearing Down Tavern Built 150 Years Ago Make Pleasant and
