Demonstration Work
The salient features of the Demon
stration Work, to quote Dr. Knapp,
are:
(1) Better drainage of the soil.
(2) A deeper and more pulverized
seed bed; deep fall plowing with im
plements that will not. bring the
sub-soil to the surface.
(3) The use of seed of the best
variety, intelligently selected and
carefully stored.
(•1) In cultivated crops giving the
rows and the plants in the rows a
space suited to the plant, the soil,
and the climate. |
(3) Intensive tilling during the
growing period of the crops.
((5) The importance of a high con
tent of humus in the soil, the use of
legumes; barnyard manure, farn re
fuse, and commercial fertilizers,
i i (7) The value of crop rotation and
a winter cover crop on Southern
farrfis.
(8) The accomplishing of more
work in a day by each laborer by
using more horse power and better
implements.
(9) The importance of increasing
the farm stock to the extent of utiliz-1
ing all the waste products and idle
lands of the farm.
(10) The production of all food
I required for the men and animals
| on the farm.
(11) The keeping of an account
| with each farm product in order to
I know from which the gain or loss
J arises.
I This is the plan, a plan so simple
and practical the marvel is that t! e
whole world has not followed it for
: the past thirty years. As a matter
| of fact, a few progressive farmers
i have long used similar methods and
prospered; Dr. Knapp does not |claim
to have originated new methods of
farming, but to demonstrate to the
great mass of farmers the value of
the knowledge formerly possessed
by a very small number. He in
structs by demonstration on a man’s
i own farm. As he says, the farmer
is the greatest doubter in the world,
and the evidence must be before his
eyes. Morever it milst be present
in successive years. It takes about
three years for the average farmer
to be convinced beyond argument,
at the end of which time he consid.
ers himself a graduate of “Dr Knapp's
University,” as the work is popula -
ly called, and though he may have
been farming forty, he then speaks
of himself as “a three year old farm

Kitchen Furnishing
been
It is not many years since ‘ Kitchen Furnishings” would have
ridiculous phrase, for at that time there were no convenience in
kitchen furnishings. But to-day there are cabinets, ranges and var
ious articles that help to make a back number of the old adage "Woman’s
work is never done.” Besides, the kitchen is the heart of the home
and our health our most valuable assets is largely depended upon
this condion. The price of such kitchen accessories is almost nothing
considering the steps, time and weariness they save, so we will take
real pleasure in having you inspect the “Kitchen Furnishings" in our
store. x V

The different colors of the skv
are caused by certain rays of light
being more or less strongly reflected
or absorbed, according to the amoun#
of moisture contained in the atmos
phere. Such colors do, therefore,
portend to some extent the kind ot
weather that may naturally be ex
pected to follow. For instance, a
red sunset indicates a fine day tc
follow, because the air when dry re
fracts more red or beat making rays
and as dry air is not perfectly trans
parent. they are ag.sin reflected in
the horizon. A coppery or yellowy
sunset generally foretells rain. The
following lias been advocated as a
fairly successful way of prognosti
cating: l-ix vour eye on the cmall-
est cloud you can -ee; if it decreases
and disappears, the weather will be
good; if it increases in size, rain
may be looked for.

Elmer Halter, of Conway, Arkansas,
who made 85 1-3 bushels in spite

made 122 bushels at a cost of 14 1-2
cents a bushel.
These four boys came to Wash
ington on their prize trip and were
presented by Secretary Wilson with
the first certificates of merit ever
given youthful farmers by the De
partment of Agriculture. Next year
the Secretary will give certificates
to others, and Governors and State
Superintendents of Education will
also give certificates of merit to all
boys raising 75 bushels of corn on
one acre at a cost not to exceed 30
cents a bushel.
The immediate effect of all this
is tremendous, and the ultimate
good resulting no man can estimate
Forty-six t ihousand boys are now
receiving training in scientific farm
ing under Dr. Knapp’s methods,
and the nun ber is increasing rapid
ly. The tide tnat has long flowed
to the cities is sweeping back, and
twenty years from now the back-
woods farm will yield a power un
dreamed of in all its past history,
By that time it is doubtful whether
there will be such a thing in the
United States as a poor backwoods
farm, for the Knapp idea is becom
ing an obession wherever it is
understood.—From "Making Good

W hen the nitrogen needed by our

thing more than nitrogen—humus.
This humus is no less necessary
and will as surely increase thfe pro

their physical conditions. The grow-1

therefore, supplies the two needs
