It was quite a gala day in the Supreme court when he took the oath of office and sat upon the bench in the old courtroom, which is a good deal of a bandbox, for size, and the wives of all the Justices and their daughters and friends were in the seats reserved for them. When the gavel of the court crier fell the procession of Justices, headed by Marshal Wright of the dlstTlct entered the chamber from the robing room. Governor Hughes, wearing the robe of rich black silk, took a scat Just below the bench next to the Mr. Justice Harlan, who is clerk. the senior associate Justice, will preside over the Supreme court until tne successor of Chief Justice Fuller is appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. Justice Harlan treasury, on account of the permanent fund, the sum of $7,618,447. After deductlrig all the expenditures oa account of the home during the past fiscal year there is a balance to the credit of the institution, in the directed the clerk to read the treasury of 13,428,209. The buildings at the home, including the large mess hall Just completed, have cost In the aggregate The expenditures during the past fiscal year for all purposes, except permanent Improvements, amounted to $391,760. The average cost per man per month was $27.41, of which mount $10.37 was for subsistence. The per capita cost for maintenance of the home during the past fiscal year was $339.28, or 92.9 cents per capita per day, as against $337.74 for the preceding year, or 92.5 cents per capita per day. The per cent of the cost of administration to total amount exclusive of cost of construction, was 4.2 per cent., being slightly in excess of the percentage for the previous year. The improvements in contemplation re the tearing down of the old library building, the conversion of the old mesa hall Into a pool and billiard room and library, and the erection of new quarters for the dairymen. Inspector General Garllngton says the home and grounds and all pertaining to them are In excellent condition. Governor Young says the new mess hall with dormitories Is a credit to the home and to the country. He adds that the original mansion of Woods' farm is a ramshackle and insanitary building, and will be removed as soon as other provision is made Extensive imfor the occupants. provements have been made in the water supply system, and a dry clean ing system has been Installed in the central power plant for cleaning blankets and the clothing of the in expended, ' North Platte com- - ftft Justice Hughes. mission of the new Justice, which was signed by President Taft and attested by Attorney General Wlckershaai, appointing him to the high office "during good behavier." , The Justices, and the audience then rose to their feet, and Governor Hughes, advancing to the clerk's desk, grasped Dible and read in a the clear voice the tyepwritten oath of office.

The most Important .recent addition to dry farming literature has been made by the Nebraska experiment station in the results of the work at the North Platte la so located that part of bulletin No. 114. This sub station at North Platte Is so located .that part of the lands are of the typical Platte valley soil, and the remainder are higher bench and divide lands. In the valley portion, the natural water table is found at a depth of 35 to 40 feet below the surface, while on the table lands it Is from 200 to 250 feet to water. While It Is possible that deep rooted crops like alfalfa may obtain water by means of on the lower lands, it Is clear that upon the high divide lands, the oaly moisture received Is the natural, precipitation, says Orange Judd Farmer. In the seasons of 1907, 1908 and 1909 comparisons were made to determine the practicability of cropping annually Instead of suirimer tilling the land alternate years, and also of giving summer Ullage every third year. The character of the soil Is a silt loam, commonly known as loess, and the native vegetation is principally buffalo and grama grass. It contains a low percentage of organic matter, more than 60 per cent of fine sand, 36 per cent of silt and about 10 H per cent of clay. In spite of its large content of fine sand and low content of organic matter, it does not run together and bake to any extent This is probably due to the small percentage of clay contained in it The mechanical condition of this soil Is of the best, and ordinary tillage Is sufficient to keep the surface in good tilth. The normal rainfall, taken from the records of the North Platte weather station since 1875, is 18.86 inches, although frequently it runs as high as 23 or 24 inches. The results from the three years' work at this station Indicate that while alternate cropping, such as is practiced in drier valleys of the west and certain parts of Saskatchewan, is dot necessary in this portion of Nebraska, but they do indicate that summer tilling once every four or five years is more profitable than trying to raise a crop every year upon the same land. A five year rotation, which is recommended by the consists of one year summer tillage from May to September, winter wheat sown In September, corn, spring grain upon disked corn land and cane or sorghum following this small grain crop. This lives one winter and one spring small (rain crop, one forage crop, a corn crop and one season of summer till-Ig' Soil which has been growing Alfalfa or grass for several years very dry, partly because of the large number of plants and roots, and partly because it Is impossible to the surface and preserve a dust mulch. It was found at the North Platte station that land of this character became extremely dry to a depth f 15 feet It Is recommended that srops the year following the plowing up of alfalfa or other sod should be f a drought resisting nature, such is sorghum or sugar cane planted in sub-statio- e. In order to secure the Ideal for germination a seed bed for wheat or other small grain or grasses should not be too deep and mellow and yet finely pulverized or.:y about as deep as the seed Is planted. Delow the depth at which the seed is planted the soil should be firm, but not hard, making good connection with the subsoil so that the soli water may be drawn up into the surface soil. The firm soli beneath the seed, being well connected , with the subsoil, supplies the moisture to the seed. The mellow soil above the seed allows sufficient circulation of air to supply oxygen and favors the warming of the soil, gathering the beat of the sunshine during the day, acting as a blanket to conserve the soil beat and maintaining a more uniform temperature In the soil during the night. It Is often a good plan to disk the ground previous to plowing, says Field and Farm. If plowed at once the loose surface is In better condition to more readily connect and reunite with the subsoil when the fur-roslice Is inverted and if the plowing is delayed the ground will remain in good condition for plowing for a much longer period during the dry weather than land which has reIt is often ceived no cultivation. possible, when our lands have become too dry to plow, by establishing a soil mulch with the disc harrow and retaining the water In the soil, to so Improve the moisture condition of the surface as to bring It again into good plowing condition. It may even be advisable to practise early disking rather than, early ploying when both cannot be accomplished. The surface mulch of soil produced by disking not only retain? the water in the soil but offers a favorable surface to absorb the rains. A new method for preparing the seed bed is now coming Into general practise here on the plains. The plan Is to list the ground with an ordinary corn lister as soon after harvest as possible. The lister furrows are run feet from three to three and one-hal- f apart very much the same as when the lister is used for planting corn. Later, when the weeds have sprouted the soil is worked back into the lister furrows by means of a disk harrow or disk sled. The disk sled has Just recently begun to be used for this purpose and Is considered preferable to the harrow. It has extra large disks, especially for this purpose, but may be used also for cultivating corn. The sleds are made either for one or two rows. Several cultivations are usually required by the disk harrow in order to bring the field In good seed bed condition. Once over with the disk sled Is usually considered sufficient, the further work necessary to prepare the seed bed is given with the common harrow or other cultivating implement. In our dry climate this method has several advantages. one-eight- h one-sixt- h Spanish-America- n e e - Ehlrts,' said an old lady, busily stitching on the modern garments.
