MELLOW-SWEET
IS TASTE OF
'"SPEAR HEAD"
Most Richly-Flavored Chew
That Was Ever Pressed
Into Plugs
FAVORITE FOR A GENERATION
Red-blooded men with real tobacco
hunger find that they can satisfy it only
by chewing, and the most wholesome
nd satisfying tobacco to chew is that
made in plug form.
The limit of luxury in tobacco chew
ing is the rich, sweet, juicy flavor that
trickles through your system when you
chew Spear Head.
No other chewing tobacco is so mel
low, so luscious and so satisfying. No
other equals Spear Head for putting a
keen edge on your appetite.
Spear Head is m;ide of the world's
best tobacco leaf the choicest of red
Kentucky Hurley. This leaf is, selected
for its full, juicy richness with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is pressed into Spear I lead plugs
so slowly that not a drop of the rich,
natural juice escapes.
Your first chew of Spear Head will
open your eyes to the genuine enjoy
ment there is in chew trig.
Chew the rich and mellow tobacco
that has been the favorite for a third
of a century that's Spear Head, In
10c cuts, wrapped in wax paper.

Farm financing anil lunnngcmeut be

modern conditions. There 1 the high

and there are new atnudimls of busi
ness and living which tend to commer

cation!!. The financial side of agriculture must
be kept to the fore. Existence lu
selling farm commodities soon shows
the folly of depending on a slugl
crop or any single Interest, such as
wheat, corn, milk, pork, rrttlt or poul
try. Frequently it happens that there
Is overproduction of certain crops so
that prices are too low for profit. But

the average will oe fair, and with eight
or ten products to deieud on a satis
factory farm income will be assured
Crop prices fluctuate widely from
year to year. Even in the same season
certain districts receive high returns,
while others show losses. No single
crop or product is safe against unfa
vorable conditions at times. There
fore diversification is the best assur
ance against heavy loss. For example,
if potatoes or beans are low in price
they need uot be sold at once If there
are a number of other products with
which to meet expenses and payments.
It may be better to consume the low
priced products on the farm than to
haul them to market
Feeding to poultry, hogs and cattle
will at any time makt potatoes worth
50 cents a bushel. With a large emu
of tubers on baud at a time when the
market Is extremely low it is entirely
feasible for auy farmer to cut down
the grain rations in poultry house and
barn and substitute boiled potatoes.
Beans could be added mid the crop
consumed entirely at home. Many
other articles will work Into such a
plan. It will even pay to buy young
pigs and steers for the purpose of mak
ing profitable use. of potatoes and root
crops, especially carrots, rutabagas and
sugar beets. Animals generally, as
well as chickens, ducks and geese, will
consume these vegetables to advantage.
Mixed with bran, middlings or corn
meal, potatoes form a palatable and
wholesome diet and the farmer is en
abled by this substitution to sell a
large proportion of his corn crop. Each
farm should also produce a number of
crops In the vegetable line, such as
cabbage, onions, cucumbers, celery, etc.
A number of vegetables lend them
selves to any canning scheme on the
farm and thus may be saved from
waste or low markets. Canning puts
the financial touch upon various fruits
and garden crops which otherwise
would amount to nothing. One may
plan to eliminate waste by a little
study along this line. The ordinary
farm family can manage n cannlm.'
outfit and thus secure a new source of
revenue.
in urging diversification for both
large and stnall farms I suggest ten or
twelve distinct products, which mu-t
be arranged so as to distribute the la
bor as evenly as possible. It Is In this
respect that many farmers are weak,
and it is observed that settlers In the
new agricultural ureas of western and
southwestern slates have yet to learn
Important, lessons on this subject.
When agrlctibural districts are devel
oped so rapidly that economic forces
do not have time to properly n' t the
result Is a very Imperfect scheme of
farm organization. One cause of this
Is the extreme profitableness of cer
tain crops for a few years and the con
sequent development of farms on the
basis of a single enterprise. Coupled
with this one sided oi-j-anizatlou land
prices are often forced so high that an
Intensive form of agriculture Is neces
sary when only a fairly extensive tmp
of farming should prevail. It is these
single crop fanners who are the great
est sufferers in years of low prices for
their special products. Aside from bet
ter use of labor and land, mixed farm
ing is one of the surest safeguards
against total failure.
Cut Out Dead Vood.
Dead or decaying wood of any fruit
plant should be removed as soon as It
Is noticed. It matters not what the
season may be. Sn-li wood harbors

BLANCHIM3 CELERY.
Early Vrity Cn E Blanched and
Ud In Aug" it.
The early celery enu he blanched and
used in August, and the Mnm'liln can
he contltnuHl from that time until
froealnu weathiH-, says a contributor to
the Country Gentleman. Celery will
stand several detcreos of frost without
Injury.
There are several method of blanch
InK celery and much depends ou the
amount as to the host method for you.
If you have enough 0f It to pay you
the easiest method Is to use boards a
foot wide. Take lioards of a con
venient loniith and place one on each
side of the row with the ede as near
the base of the stalks as possible. Now
raise the outer edges and draw them
together as closely as possible without
crushing the leaves or entirely closing
If the plants are short. They should
be tall enough to extend some above
the Ivoards If the growth has been at
all good. TacW a couple of pleres of
lath across the tops of the boards. It
will take probably ten days for the
celery to blanch, somewhat depending
on the weather and the rapidity of If
growth.
If you have but a few stalks of
celery, or If the plants are scattered
you can wrap e:n h separate stalk In
paper. This gives n perfect bhun h If
the work Is done well. Any kind of
paper w ill do. but a stiff brown paper
will be the easiest to manipulate and
the least apt to be destrnyod or col
lapsed by storms. Draw the leaves of
the celery tip tlvrlnly together an. I
wrap with the paper. Leave the tips
(Hit, and do not Mud so tight as to
bruise or eNi ir.de air entirely.
Celery should lm used soon after be
ing blanel: '.!, fr It Is apt to become

j applies to early celery In the Held. I
have never had any trouble with late
celery either lu the lh Id ir when taken
Into the cellar and healed In for the
i winter. I think It will keep all right
if it Is dormant, as It becomes when
cold weather arrives.
Soil Improvement.
In an experiment w here no farm ma
nure was used the average yearly re
turn from the land Itself was $:t.T5 pel
acre, while ST was the return from a
ton of limestone uud $-.i!o from o'
pounds of phosphate.
In order to reduce the labor Involved
the limestone and phosphate are ac
tually nppiied lu larger umouuts nl
less frequent intervals, but thus far
the rates of application have been ujo
ton of limestone i.ud Tiini pounds of
phosphate per acre for eaiii J ear. nl
though, after the soil is siullcieutly
enriched, one-half or one-third these
amounts will provide for maintenance
Tile principles of permanent Improve
ment for most soil types are already
well established. They include the use
of ground limestone fur correcting soil
activity and for enrichment lu calcium;
the utilization of atmospheric nitrogen
by proer use of legume crops, the ap
plication of phosphorus to most soils
and the liberation of iotasi from the
Inexhaustible supply already contained
lu all normal soils. On some soils dolo
initio limestone .should he used in order
to proviik both magnesium and cal
cium, and on certain abnormal soils,
such as sw.nnp muck and residual
sand, potassium must also be applied.
The location and character of the va
rious soil types are established by the
surveys and analyses, and the soil ex
IHTiment fields help to determine the
best order of application of the mate
rials needed. lr. C. (. Hopkins, Illi

A Wheeled Gate.
I have invented it handy gate which
any farmer can make with but very
little work, says a contributor to the
Farm I'rogress. Hang the gate three
Inches from the ground; then take two
2 by 4's and spike these to the gate
about eight Inches npiirt close to the
end of the gate farthest from the post
on which it is swung. Then take a
wheel of an o'll sweep rake or no old
plow wheel. Cut, the gate planking
enough to carry the weight of the gate
This will make you a gale that will be
so easily managed that any Ktnall'boy
can open and shut It.
Preparing Land For Potatoee.
IMuntana experiment station. J
In preparing good potato land for
early potatoes, fall plowing may be ad
visable. The soil Is more exposed to
the action of frost and catches and
holds the winter'. ' precipitation. In the
spring it will he found warm mid
moist and in ideal condition for early
planting. Unless very sandy, fall plow
ed land is usually packed too hard
when the time comes to plant the main
crop potatoes. The growth of weeds
often necessitates one or two early
cultivations, and It Is surprising how
these will pack the 'all plowed land.
Heavy land is benefited by plowing
both In the fall and In the spring, but
If plowed only once spring plowing Is
best for both early and late potatoes.
Alfalfa or clover sod may be plowed
in the fall if tin- land is not too heavy,
but If heavy It should be plowed both
In the full mid In the spring. The seed
bed should always be loose, well
aerated and moist If the crop is to get
a good sttirt. and it Is well to remem
