FARM WORK.
\pril Is the Month To Put
In Some Important Work.
This should be a month of
jreat activity on the farm. Land
chat has not already been
oroken should be plowed with all
possible haste, but not at the
jxpense of thoroughness.
The first plowing is the found
ation for thi year's work. Re
member, you are preparing the
home for the plant to grow in.
It should have a fine, well-pul
verized soil with a sufficiency of
plant food and moisture to dis
solve this plant food, or you can
not grow a maximum crop.
Determine now what yield per
acre you wish to grow and ar
range for it by putting the land
in condition to grow it. Re
member that the plant must
have a good root system, depth
of soil, plant food moisture.
A» range for these, and good
seed and good cultivation you
can feel assured of good crop.
Fail to do it and you may expect
a poor crop.
Avoid Clods.
In your preparation do not
forget to use the harrow. All
land, if it has enough clay in it
to bake or "clod," should be
harrowed immediately after it is
broken. A good plan is to stop
the plow just tefore noon und
harrow the land that has been
broken that morning. This will
not require over 30 minutes and
will prevent the formation of
many clods. Hitch to the har
row again just before night and
harrow the land broken in the
afternoon.
It pays to prevent clods. They
contain plant food, but it is
locked up from the plant. The
slender roots of the plant cannot
penetrate a clod. If there are
many of them, such as is often
caused by hauling over clay land
or allowing stock to tramp it
when wet, they are about
equivalent to a pile of loose rock.
Remember that each clod is an
obstacle, a hindrance to the
plant, and should be crushed,
or better still, prevented from
being formed. You cannot get
your soil in too good condition
before planting the crop.
April is probably the most
|active month for planting that
we have. Corn, cotton and
the planting of many other cms
begin with this month. "As
you sow, so shall you reap."
Plant good seed in well prepared
seed-bed:
W hen clover or vetch has
been used as a winter cover crop,
if the growth was good, less
nitrogen can be used than on land
where no cover crop has been
grown. Some of our soils,especial
ly in the hill or Piedmont coun
try, are deficient in phosphoric
acid. '>n such soils the fertilizer
should contain from 8 to 10 per
cent phosphoric acid. Potash

can run from 2 to 4 per cent,
depending on the soils. A soil
naturally rich in any element
of plant food does not require as
much of that particular element
as does one which is deficient. {
Fertilizers up to 50 pounds per
acie can be applied in the drill
to better advantage than broad
casted. When more than that,
quantity is used, it will be better (
to apply the excess as side dress
ings.
For planting corn it is advis-,
able to wait until the soil is
thoroughly warm, unless there
are some local reasons for planting
earlier. Budworms, other insect
pests, periodical drouths, and
other local reasons should control
the time of planting. I preft r
planting corn two or three inches
below the general surface.
For economical corn growing
it should always follow a clover
or other crop that will give it
the necessary nitrogen withoutl
having to pay 18 to 20 cents per
I pound for it as in commercial
i fertilizer. There is a great
j difference in applying high
| priced fertilizer to a crop that
| sells for ten to 12 I-'i cents per
pound like cotton, and to crops
that sell for one to two cents per
[ pound like corn.

Don't Expert Chicks
To Raise Themselves
People left to rustle for them- j
selves at an early aje some-j
times turn out well, but chickens j
never do.
No hen ever laid 200 egg* in
a year that had b.en raised on
sloppy corn meal dough, or hid
been half-eaten alive by lice and
mites. There was never a not
ed winner that, c mid be ap
propriately named Topsy.
•lust as soon as the chicks are
all hatched and dried they
should be removed to a coop al
ready prepared for them. This
coop should be large enough to
accommodate three or four times
as many when small, as it is
surprising to see how soon they
double and treble in size, und
they require, coiretpondingl.v
more room.
Each coop should have a re
movable board flo iv and this
should be covered an iiic 11 rso
with fine chaff. Our houses are
open front—that is, the l'ryiit
is covered wita one-itich-me»h
wire netting which lets the
sunshine and fresh air in and
protects the chicks. Si.tee we
did away with tight coops we
have not had a case of c>lds or 1
croup.
Chicks do i n-'ed a bite to
leat until tl ..c ai least two
I days old. 11 >■ i»y are seen pick
|ing at bits ul gg shells, etc ,
oon after they are hatched,
liun't get excited and imagine
the little things art; starving.
For the first, food we give
| them a handful of old broken
| plates or saucers, beaten into
small particles, to i ick uwr,
j Shortly, we place water before
them in a shallow pan and give
them a light feed of corn bread.
Prepared chick feed is excellent
to start them off with as it
furnishes variety something
they must have. We feed often
but do not give them much at a
feed for the first two week?.
Gradually the time between
feeding can be lengthened and
the amount increased. Be care
ful about overfeeding for the
first week or ten days, but after!
they get able to run over the j
place, be equally as carefuli
about underfeeding. There are !
some things that they cannot;
eat too much of, however-dry
wheat bran and green stuff of
every sort. Dry bran is about
the best thing to keep things
running smoothly I know of,
and green stuff just must be a
leading item in their bill of fare.
If it is possible give the chicks
free range but do not attempt to
raise them where the old low's
can run over and trample them

Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people bciore their time. Often be
fore a sui.erer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2it Mechanic St., Pueblo,
Colo,, says:
"For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; 1 was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies I
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good, A neighbor
told my luisband about
Dr. Miles' Nervine
and lie procured a bottle. After the
first few doMS I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles I was entire!/ cured. I have
been perfectly well for years and
cannot praise l)r. Miles Nervine
too highly."
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with von. but tint is no reason
why you should deny treatment.
Dr. Miles' Nervine
has proven iis value in nervous dis
orders for i i**i v vi t-, and merits
a trial, im m.iStei how many other
remedie* ! 'v failed to help you.
