Now tho first stop to bo takon in this direction is to find oultbocauso of all thoso muladlos poculbir to mankind.

Our modo of cooking at the presont day Is doing Its portion of this work, but ihoy will persist In serving dlshos that aro ploaslng to tholr family's tasto, thoy do notrolUhcourso mid substantial food, thoy neod something moro dainty. My remedy for this would bo to givo thoin moro bodily oxorolso In tho open air, that Is ono of naturo's great ro elorallves.

Wllfll i"U ihiiuo wero now and clean from sorrel and wild outs, less skill was needed In sucocssful farming bere. But now to insure largo crops of grain wheat for instance tho solenco ot tanning snouiu uu wen uuu v- ed lioro, as well as etsownere. 11 is iscor tnln that our soil is Inexhaustible in the elements which produce grain. Butsklll Is required In plowing, sowlngand tilling our soils. Summer-fallowing Is consid ered the best. In nil respects, to Insure a heuvvcron of orraln here. One-half of tho land, well Summer-fallowed, will yield of clean grain, nearly twice as much as foul lands sown each year. Iu tho Summor-fallowlng, sheep and cattlo may bo turned upon sucli lands to eat all weedy plants on tho surface. Tramnlntr tho lands in tho Summer months, together with tho droppings of tho stock upon thom, Is a positive bene fit to thom. Lands, however, can bo successfully cronnod ovory year, If tho proper course is pursued In t license. And hero, I may dllTor with somo of my brother farm ore. In overy case, tho first plowing In of tho stubble or sward should bo at least twelve inches deep with a plow that will turn tinder tho litter on tho surface. Af terwards, tho plowing noed not be over eight inches deep. This gives time for rotting tho stubble or sward. If the land to bo sown in grain, has been cropped the preceding year, it should bo plowed as soon as possible after harvest. As soon as foul plants appear, let tho stock upon me fields ttiuH plowed, in rxovomuor, December or oven Jnnunry, plow such fields again about seven or eight inches deep. In ovory caso, deep middle furrows should be thrown out in the direction of desoonts, and the lands not moro than two or three rods wide, The middio fur rows should empty into somo main ditch or gully so as to givo free vent to all sur plus wutor in our wot or "misty" season. As early in Soring as the ground will nul- vcrlzo well, lot tho lauds bo plowed about six or soven Inches deep, and let remain several days ; nntl thon well harrowed nnd drilled in with good clean wheat 100 pounds to tho acre. In no caso should Htook bo allowed to run on such lands In tho wot season. In Fall sowing on Sum- mer-fallow, tho lands should bo plowed very deeply nnd tho middio furrows and drains mado as forSprlnggrain. Ninety pounds ot spring wneat to tuo aero is enough, if drilled In. I would recommend drilling in evory case, Tho ndvuntagctf of Fall sowing aro obvious to overy discerning person. No fears need be had of a falluio of our Fall sowing, if tho plan I havo suggested bo pursued. There is ample timo for put ting In tho Fall grain in good order.
