MY FARMING CONGRESS.
Methods of Increasing Crop Outpul
Will Bt Discussed.
The Dry Fanning congress is now
organised, with some persistency anc
determination to be heard from in thi
matter of urging its claims upon tht
attention of the public Tbe faith thai
the promoters and operators ofthit
association have in their claims of drj
farming methods, well carried out,
cannot be questioned, ssys the edito!
of the Twentieth Century Farmer. Thi
experiences and results of careful am
persistent work in crop growing efforti
are tbe evidence that is offered in tes
timony of the feasibility of dry farm
big methods and dry farming as an in
dustry.
It is not surprising that there an
tbe doubtful, tbe skeptical, tbe unbe
liever in converting tbe dry land of thi
arid West to agricultural purposes, th
growing of crops, the cultivstion a
orchards and forests, the establiBhini
of homes and the building up of com
mercial interests and industries
these lands; we say that it is not sur
prising that some hesitate, that the
doubt the availability of sufficieni
moisture to grow crops; that they fore
cast seasons of drouth, etc All these
things bsd their period and have exert
ed their influence to discourage anc
prejudice tbe mind of the public as th
settlement of the country has pro
gressed westward for tbe last fifty
years, and yet cultivation has been the
civilizing influence that has conquered
drouth, hot winds and the barrenness
of the plains and prairie countries that
are now tbe dependence in production,
The Fourth Dry Farming congress
will hold its meeting at Billings. Mon
tana, October 26, 27 and 28, 1909
This will not only be an institute foi
dry farming farmers and dry farming
instructors and teachers, but it will be
an exposition of dry farming products
such ss this or no other country hai
ever witnessed. There are pledged si
ready exhibits from thirteen Western
states that are engaged in dry farming
work. The organization by states, to
show what each is doing and capable
of doing in the raising of grain and
vegetable crops, without irrigation, is
a feature never before undertaken in
this distirct and promises some great
surprises lor visitors.
The area of tillable lands in tbe
United States not yet turned to culti
ration is comparatively small, end un
der present conditions of demand by
tbe homesteader . will last but a few
more yean at most. It is only tbe part
or good business judgment that tbe
dry farming districts be investigated
by those who contemplate getting
home under the free homestead law,
Good lands and the best locations will
be the first taken. Each year will re
duce the quality of lands to be disposed
or as government homesteads.
The Dry Farming congress will be
a good place to visit next October, in
view of getting dry farming informs
tion and dry farms on which to put it
into practice. Tbe Dry Farming con
gress announces that there are 200,-
000,000 acres of arable land awaiting
development by the dry farming meth-
sds.

Water for tae Beea.
Give the bees plenty of water. They
need a great deal and will fly a long
distance to get It
If there Is no running stream or
lake of pure water near it Is well to
place a pail of fresh water near the
apalry every day.
Bees use water to dilute the heavy,
thick honey left ever from winter to
make It suitable for the young larvae
and also to make the cell wax pliable.
Bees should be protected from the
wind on the north and west by a close
set hedge or high fence.
All the weeds should be kept down
In front of the hives. Mow s plot 6
feet wide and then cut the weeds and
grass close to the ground with a hoe.
An hour once a week spent on tbe
care of the bees will bring larger re
turns for the effort than any other
labor on tbe farm.
A newspaper man In Chicago, who
lives a few miles out In the country,
last year sold $223 worth of honey to
three big hotels. He says be did not
spend more than an hour a week look
ing after bis bees during the season.

There is a difference of opinion regarding the pulling ability of each
horse In a team. Some are of tbe cpinion that tbe horse ahead Is pulling
tbe most, and vice versa.
The draft on each horse depends entirely on the relattve lengths of the
lever arms, and the lengths of tbe lever arms depend on the position of the
clevis pins with respect to the draw pin. In tipper diagram (1) the clevis
pins and the draw pin are In a straight line, hence the lever arm is the per
pendicular distance from the draw pin (A) to the line of draft of each horse.
The lever arms In this case are A. B. and A. C. which are equal, no matter
how much one horse Is ahead of the other. One horse always pulls the same
amount as the other.
In diagram (2) tbe clevis pins are behind the draw pin, and when one
horse pulls ahead of the other his lever arm (A. C.) becomes longer snd
(A. B.) the lever arm of the one behind becomes shorter. In this case the
horse ahead, having a large lever arm. has the advantage and pulls less
than the one behind.
In diagram (3) the clevis pins are ahead of the draw pin. and when
one horse pulls ahead his lever arm shortens and the lever arm of the one
behind lengthens. The horse ahead, having the lever arm shorter, pulls more
than the horse behind.
little beef scraps to the food. In tbe
course of two weeks whole wheat can
be given. This Is tbe dry method of
feeding, which Is coming Into vogue
quite extensively. Here Is another
method of feeding: Mix dry two parts
of corn meal, one part of finely ground
wheat bran and one part of beet
scraps. Arter tney are thoroughly
mixed add boiling water In sufficient
quantity to make a stiff dough. Cover
the vessel and let It rook. Feed tbe
dough warm or cold, but never hot.

The cheapest way to put gains on
young pigs Is through tbe sow. She
has a strong digestion snd can turn
;oarse grains and pasture Into easily
digested milk. Careful experiments
show that a pound of weight taken
from the sow will make more than 1
pound of gain on the pigs, tbe flesh
af tbe young animals containing more
water. Tbe sow should be fed to pro-
uce a high milk yield, and tbe pigs
ibould be kept with her until they get
to eating a full feed of grain and pas
ture. Sfararaa llereea.

The farmers of tbe North Atlantic
stales during tbe last census year
each produced about $9(4 worth of
farm crops, while tbe average South
Atlantic states farmer made only $1(4,

101 acres per farm and the Kqrthers
tamer only N acres.
Alfalfa Plaatlaar.
It should not be forgotten that the
spring Is tbe proper time to prepare
the alfalfa crop that is to be planted
next fall. Tbe ground which is ex
pected to be used for this crop should
not be planted to small grain; neither
should corn precede alfalfa, because
tbe ground will not be kept free of
weeds and grass. Tbe best prepara
tory crop for alfalfa is cow peas,- then
sfter the vines are removed or plowed
under the ground should be well
broken and kept clean of weeds and
grass 6y surface cultivation until It
Is seeded in alfalfa tbe following fall.
Peanuts may be grown Instead of cow
peas, if the crop is considered more
desirable, as it Is perhaps, but they
must be kept well cultivated and es
pecially allow no earth grass to grow

Valae of a Satall Stream.
An Interesting example of the value
of a small stream for light and power
purposes may be found near Sacra
mento, Cal. A trout stream has been
damned up and the power In the form
of electricity baa been used for doing
such light work ss washing and Iron
ing, also for cooking and lighting in
the borne of the owner. As tbe stream
Is very small during the dry months,
an old miner's ditch has been dammed
to form a reservoir of 100,000 cubic
feet capacity. The. plant cost $1,500
and In a single year has done $700
worth of work.

A MISTAKEN FTTEPCSE.
seteeaeeeeet
"Yes, dogs may be all right,' re
luctantly admitted the nervous man,
"but somehow I always was scared of
'em, and they all seem to realise the
fact. This business of conquering a
dog by looking him straight In the
eye doesn't always work out the right
wsy. I never cared to test the matter
myself, but I knew one fellow who
did. He lost part or his coat tall.
And there Is a foolish saying that
barking dogs won't bite. Another
fallacy. I once knew an old shepherd
dog that would bark and bite at tbe
same time. I still carry a scar on my
shin as a proof.
"I was farming at the time, out In
Kansas, and the dog belonged on the
next farm. The old fellow who owned
him said he wouldn't bite. We had
just moved down from the city, you
know, and It was necessary fofme
to call at the old farmer's house for
milk.
"At first Shop wouldn't allow me to
enter tbe gate. Shep was the dog's
name. I tried all sorts of Induce
mentscalled him by name In the
friendliest tone at my command, or
threatened him with Imaginary stones.
Finally the old farmer would relieve
the situation by escorting me Into
the yard, with Shep sneaking along
about two Inches In the rear of my
legs. Very comfortable.
"But as time went on I became bet
ter acquainted with the shepherd dog,
and as long ss I wora overalls and
toted my milk pall, he permitted me
to enter the front gate without chal
lenge. On these occasions he assumed
a benevolent air, as If he was really
granting me a large favor. It was a
favor.
"But one time I called on the old
farmer on a matter of business, and
had discarded the overalls and milk
pall. As I entered the gate I saw a
book agent marching boldly up the
yard. The poor foot didn't know about '
Shep, and he failed to see the dog as
he came tearing up the lane.
"'Hey, there!' I shouted. In a warn
Ing voice. 'Climb that tree quick or
that dog will chew you up!'
"But the poor chap didn't have time
to budge, for Shop was traveling like
a Kansas tornado. I shut my eyes for
a moment, from sheer pity, and then
opened them apaln to view the trac
edy. That dog had passed the hook
agent entirely, and was still coming.
He ws after me."
