CoverlBsr Peed Too Deeply. The mistake In spring plantlug that Is most common ia covering the seeds too deeply. 1 1 Is a good rule to put only twice the depth of the seed In soli over It This witb some" very fine sceda means merely sowing on finely pre pared seed bed, when they will natural ly fall into the depressions, and then pressing the soil over thsin. The root naturally strikes down for moisture, and a rery slight bold on the surface. so as to give the young p'aut light and air, Is best for its early growth. There are usually plenty of rnim In spring, so that some soli will lie likely to be washed over surface-sown seeds, and thia Is better than any way of covering them ly cultivator, hsrrjw or drag. Even the smoothing barrow U apt to cover small seeds too deeply. Grass and clover seeds are sown early euotig.'i so that alternate freezing and thawing does the work of covering better than man can do It How Mach Tile Per Acre There are two extremes tn tile drain lng. Tha beginner is apt to think tile drains are only needed wuvre water atands on the surface la hollows, and has to be drawn off.' But when thla la dona, It leavea the soil In these hoi Iowa ao much dryer and bettor fitted for cropping that tha farmer sees that even the uplands, that h.d been sup posed dry enough, need drnlulng also. Usimlly the first drains nre put in too shallow. That, if continued, means a large useless expenditure for tile. No where should underdralns be dug less than three feet deep. They will then drain perfectly two to two and a iio.lt rods on each side of the undtirdraln. The soil will hold so much mora water with a deep drain that It will sot re quire larger site than will a shallow one. Car for Transp'aated Trees. . Thousands of dullara are every year wasted by neglect of proper care for trees that have been transplanted. The moat common cause of this la lu the Idea that plenty of water applied to the roots can be made a substitute for frequent cultivation. Newly trans planted trees really need little water on the soil. The roots of newly planted trees cannot at once begin to supply plant food from the soil They need time and contact with moist soil, but not too wet, before new rootlets can put forth. To keep the soli sodden with water while the roots are In this semi- dormant condition Is to rot them. .Less water with thorough surface cultiva tion, to keep the surface soil loose and prevent rapid evaporation, la what Is needed. If water la applied it should be tn moderate amounts, and often by spraying so aa to keep the buds from withering until the roots can supply them with moisture. i Grain Fields, Go through the grain, walking be tween the grain drills, and cut out the rye, cockle, garlic and other weeds. This should be done early, before the wheat heads out An acre can be gone over In an hour. Clean grain Is worth several centa more per bushel. SIOOO for those who find it.

Keeping poultry with success Is not a difficult feat to perform; tha chief re quisite la common sense. Don't try to keep all the different va rieties of poultry. Two or three varie ties of the best are plenty. Overfeeding la expensive. It not only costs more for feed, but the hens get too rat and lay no eggs. One good thoroughbred fowl can of ten be sold for as good a price as a doa- en poor ones and coat no more to raise. Clean up and disinfect all feed and watering troughs.

Holaupple, of the oity detective torce, were also arrested on similar charges. The arrests have caused a great stir, and opinions differ as to the guilt or innocence of the so oused.
