Tbe proper depth for breaking corn land is. like many other problems per taining to farm management, a de batable question and one that cannot be correctly answered wit. it a c"-e- ful consideration of the particulars. One rule—with many exceptions, how ever—la to break deep for coru. Corn belongs to tbe grass family, and Is therefore a surface feeder. It Is, how ever. acquiring a habit of permeating the soli to much greater depth than do the uncultivated grasses. Under most conditions the ground that Is broken eight to ten Inches deep will grow the greatest amount o f corn. Deep break ing baa many advantages—a larger amount of soli Is stirred, the supply of plant food Is Increased, and most Im portant of all Is the large Increase In the amount of moisture tbe soil will hold for plant growth. The disadvantage In deep breaking Is met with on land that has been hard cropped and In which the subsoil Is largely devoid of fertilizing ingredi ents. Such soil. If broken deep, will produce a seed bed having a top sur face of earth without food for tbe seed It germinates. The plants then are compelled to starve until they can send their roots down into the artificial soil. PHYSICIAN 4 Sl’ KGEON A ll calls prom ptly attended.

Tile draining will nndoubtedly be given more attention in the future than It has been during the past. On land that Is naturally wet the drains will pay for themselves In two years, provid ing there Is a good outlet and they are properly put down. It frequently hap pens that u thorough syBtem of drain age Is not necessary, providing the sloughs are under drained. These are generally tke most productive parts of the farm when they are brought into condition by removing the water. On level lands one can make considerable fall by cutting the drains more shallow at the upper end. Tiling out land under any conditions Is expensive work, and It will generally pay to employ the ser vices of u surveyor, providing the own er Is not expert In the use of the level. In the past there has been considerable waste on account of using small tile. Four-Inch tile aeem to he the smallest recommended for lateral drains.
