'Why It Pam; To Disk the Stabbloi
Land.

It will pay to disk stubble lanclathat

the shocks are renmved, This disking

possible to plow this land long after:

destroa their eggs; and this effect is

The early preparation of, a aeeclbed

important, in testa on the seedbed

sults were obtained by deep plowing:
early in ,Tuly, and the profits stead_(
ily decreased as the plowing time was
advanced. It frequently happens that,
a drought comes' M July and atops!
the plowirag at just the time it should;
be done, and it is then necessary to
wait until the rains come later in. the!
fall; which is frequently as 'late as
September. It is ,very rare that the!
weather eonclitions. are such that A
good seedbed car; be made on Sep-
tember plowed land.
When the stubble is disked, a loose
mulch is formed that retards the evap-
oration of moisture very niaterially,
and also allows the capillary connec-
tion between the plowed land and the
subsoil to be restored much more
quickly after plowing than on un -
disked land. The 'disking mixes the
trash and stubble with the soil, and
it is an easy matter for the plowed
land to form a union with the soil
that is not stirred. And it is ab-
solutely essential that the capillary:
connectibn be restored in good shape'
before the wheat is planted.
Soil that does not have a mulch will
crack when it gets dry, and these
cracks are the lines on which the
clods are formed. A mulch on the
surface will prevent this clod forma-
tion, and the labor of seedbed pre-
paration after' the plowing will be
less. Dry, cloddy toil is a hard pro-
position when it comes to making a
proper seedbed. As a contrast with
this, take land that has a good surface
mulch before it is plowed. There are
but few clods in this case, the soil is
mellow and loose, and it is easy to
prepare the field in ideal shape to
receive the seed.
If you wish to see how capillary at-
traction works in pumping the water'
out of the soil, take a cube of sugar,
and dip a corner of it in your coffee,
and see how quickly the liquid climbs,
up. It is being moved by capillay,
action. If you put some -loose sugar.
on top, you will see that the coffee,
does not climb up through it so gothic,'
ly. The reason is that the grains are
so far apart that capillarity has been'
destroyed; the grains are not in a
condition so the liquid can be raised.'
Soil grains are placed in a somewhat:
similar condition when the surface is
disked, and the evaporation of the
much-needed soil moisture is checked.
When one considers the great am-
ount of moisture necessary to mature
a crop properly, it is easy to under-
stand the great need for conserving
the supply. It takes more than .500
pounds of water to make every emend
of dry matter found in the oats plant,
and it takes about 400 pounds with
wheat. A little less, or sometimes as
little as 300 pounds, will do for covn.
Unless great attention is given to
storing , the rainfall in the soil, and
putting the land in condition so it is
not lost by capillary action, there is
apt to be a deficiency at just the time
it is most needed.
Good Points on Marketing.
Success in farming depends to a
considerable extent ;upon .success in
marketing,. and marketing has come
to be a highly epeciallzed business. It
involves an understanding of human
desire. The consuming public gauges
its demand for a product according to
the degree in Which that product sat-
isfies its tastes, Taste to a cioneider-
able extent le ipfluencea, ly apps -
ane. Taiis especiallye
true in th' ease
of perishable and semi -perishable pro-
ducts iamb as freebvegetables, ber-
ries,, apples and -potatoes.
Competition ie Itean in marketing.
The farmer whowishes to sell his
produeleat a high price must lean the
demand of public tastes, and put up
his product in a way that -will gixe
the consumer reasonable satisfaction,
Moat goods sold in fairly large quan-
tities 'nisi through the hands of a
middlemen' or dealer. 'Mese 'men be-
cause of their constant touch with.the
trade have learned the desires of con-
sumers. Whether a farmer sells di-
rect to the: consmner or through a
middleman, it may marketing centre and
spend some time in the Wholesale pro-
duce district watching 'how sales are
actually conducted. He can then talk
with dealers about .the Methods of
preparing products for market, visit
their grading and packing'. rooms and'
observe how that process is 'thine. •
If a peisonal visie.to the trade is
too expensive and the farmer sells
through aa dealer, he •ohould writeate
him, questioning him carefully about
how to sort, grade .and pack a pro-
duct, so that it will bring the highest
price.
When a shipment is made, it pays to
load goods carefully. If possible
learn from some reliable source how
to arrange material in ears so that it
will best withstand the journey. An
itemized account of the number of -
boxes or Packages in the shipment,
the different varieties, amd amount of
each, will be a great help to the dealer
and a record for your own use. Send
this statement-tff the dealer at once,
together with a letter of explanation,
stating the number of the car, the
clate_it .is to leave and the road on
which it is to be shipped. '
Prompt settlements usually follow
approved methods in handling bills of
lading.. It is customary if geode are
sold for casaa to have the bill of lading
made out to yourself, endorse it oyer
to your local banker, and instruct frim
to send .it to his banking correspond-
ent at point of destination with at-
tached draft for the amount to be
collectea. Upon payment of draft, the
bill is surrendered to the dealer. If
inspection is allowed this should be
stated upon bill of lading. If goods
are sold on time or shipped on con-
signment, have the bill of lading
made out to the dealer, and send it to
him et once. When an advance is to
be made for part,of the consignment
the procedure is the same as when
the goods are sold for cash.
When putting up goods for market,
experiment upon how best to combine
quality and attractiveness. These are
potent factors in determining mice.
It isanot advisable, ordinarily, to
ship to several dealers on the same
market at the same time, for they
may compete against one another for

The farmer who sells to a dOaler,
finds it best to co-operate with him in
handling his goods, for the more
money the dealer gets for a product
: the more will he in turn be able to
pay the farmer. If. you sell by that
I method, communicate with your deal-
er regarding the condition of the
I trade, a few days before your ship-
ment is ready- and learn from him
i whether he is able to handle the ship-
ment to advantage.
In all cases act promptly in for-
warding the dealer records of ship-
ments that he may not be delayed in
getting possession of goods., Market
conditions often change from hour to
hour. In ea very short time, a con-
siderable fluctuation in .price quota-
tions may occur. - . .
Marketing perishable farm products
is a business in itself,. and coopera-
tion between the buyer and seller is
an essential ,principle of successful
business relationthip.

It is not a disgrace to do any lowly
work if you do it well, but it is wrong
to continue at lowly work that a thou-

How It Paid Us to. Buy an Enallaae
_Cutter.
Oise of the problems that is met
every fall ,among silo owners is the.
timely tilling of the silo. an some
cases It is a aerioue one, and a con-
siderable aniount of money is lost by
the owners of the silo bechase a, cut-
ter cannot be founa to do the work
when 10 18 most needed. • •
When four of us, whose farms are
adjoining, bought ,silos at the same
time We had this si1O-filling problem
to solve.' . Ona day 'an agent came
along, and after an hour or so we
bought a small -sized cutter.
The cost of the machine. was $285,
which, divided among for, was not
much of a burden for anyone. On the
whole it is a heap cutter. It has a
13 -inch throat. On an average, with
good power, it will run from 6
teas of silage an hour. One can
usually figure that a cutter or any
other -machinery will do from 10 to
50 per cent. less work than the sales-
men claim, and 111115 was no exceptioti.
This size is not what would be called
a custom machine. , It is for local
filling only, and is big enough far that
work. With this ,size,vee are told that
there is fess sdieli•ng afterward, be-
cause there is more time to tranip
it down well, and also more time for it
to settle while the filling is going,on.
According to some this is an
error, and we should not tramp it at
all. I am not stre abaft tide point.
The great advantage of this privs
eately owned cutter is that wo can get
our sithe lilisisi when the corn is randy.
Corn must go into the silo at the pro -
pet One to make the beet fooll.
Another ;Mat advantage of owning
a cutter is that a silo is easily re-
ailled eater Settling, because it does
not leave the neighborhood after the
silos are filled. And to the man who
wishes to utilize the full capacity of
Ilia silo this iset considerable im-
portance. A silo that settles down six
feet has that much wasted saace, and
that part of the inapstinent must be
added 00 the overhead expense of the
part of the silo which is 'filled.

Ten Rules for Thinning Woodlots.
1. Prepare in advance a list of all
the different kinds of trees in the
woodlot and arrange the names in
order of their desirability. This list
may also hided° facts about the size
and kind of products that can be used
or. sold.
2. Marl: on the same side all trees
that are to be removed, using the side
from which the chopping will natur-
ally progress. If the trees are not to
he cut by the owner, he should blaze
beforehand all, that aem to be taken.
3, Cut for firewood only those trees
that can not be utilized for timber or
other products of a higher grade than

give better results that infrequent

young timber heavily.
8. Leave a dense wind -mantle
along the edge of the woodlot; &thee
put it there for a' good purpose. So
never thin this outer strip.
0. Be conservative; at is better to
leave some poor trees than to eacri-
ace one of great promise. •
10. Grade the product, pile the 'dif-
ferent leracies separately, aaul be sure
to know the range of local prices.
Clothesline -Post Games.
The following are games that can
be played with elothesline. posts:
Post Taga=Each player has a poet
; for a goal: The player runs from post
to post. The player who is "it" must
• tag one of them between posts.
Ring the Post—Players stand ten
feet from a post and try to ring the
top of the post with a ha+, cap or
hoop. The scores are kept as in other
games.
, Sitting Tether Ball—Use any small,
inflated ball like a tennis- ball, or a
ball madefrom a p'ece of cloth.
Fasten it to a string tied to the top
• of the poet. Two players sic on op-
' posite sides of the post, and each tries
to wind the string round the post by
battiug the ball with the hand'in 'the
dikection opposite to that in which his
opponent bats it.. The player wigs
who winds the' string up until the ball
touches the post.
Hit the, Post—Two players start
from the same post, and each places
one foot against the base and tries
to hit the next post with a ball or bean
bag. If he throws at the pos0 and
fails to bit it, he must pick up the
ball or bean bag, run back to the
post from which .he made the throw
and make another trial. When he
hits a post he picks up the bell or
bean bag, advances to the post thal
he has hit aid tries for the next; and
50 011 in turn 'until he has hit every
post. -Whoever first makes a circuit
of the posts wins. In a variation of
this game the players use a croquet
mallet and ball or a golf stick and
ball, and advance from post to post
in the meaner described. -
Races Round the Posts—Players
may run in competition with one an-
other by starting each from a different
post, running round all the posts to
th a stating point one or more times,
as they may agree. The most excit-
ing races are relay team runs. Each
runner of a team takes his turn in
covering the course, but he must not
start until the precetimg runner of
his team touches him at the starting
post of that team. If there are four
posts, it is better to assign each team
two adjacent posts round which to ran.
To prevent starting too soon, require
each runner to carry and to pass to
his successor a stick or other object.
Variations such as running backward
and hopping add to the interest of the
races.

tree carefully to straightness,

neighboring trees..
4. In fuel -mood cutting, remove
first 'all dead or badly decayed teees.
5. Remove also defective and infer-
ior trees to :nsure better growth for.
the good trees thlteare left. Even if
nothing but poor fuel comes from the
first thinnings, it is likely that the
work will pay in the improved growth
of the good trees that aro loft.
6. Have a definite reason in mind
whenever/a tree is selected for cut-
ting; and do not park two adjoining
trees except for a very good reason,
such as great .overcraycling.
'7. Frequent moderate thinnings

"But haven't I failed if I haven't

"Everyone who has ideals fails in
that siense 1! the word," replled
mother, "But which is better, to set
your ideals so low that you can easily
reach them, or so high that, although
you far outreath low ideal, you do
not attain the hi NI cr? You know the
old saying, 'Not failure, but low aim,
is crime.' It is always a sorrowful
thing to see a person whose falataine

that are never satisfied, he is facing
an inevitable failure that really means'

"Ybut I don't, get done what

surely that is failae." •

are doing your best. You may not be
producing the result that you expect-
ed. But your effort is producing a
result of its 0W11, which, in the provi-
dence of God, may be batter than the
