Shallow Cultivation of Soil.
At this time of the year we do
not feel the need of conservation
of moisture, but we will later on.
Deep cultivation causes a loss of
much moisture. Shallow culti
vation will hold it. The plowing
must be shallow, and especially
so from now on, and lots of it.
Press the feet of the Georgia
stock and the cultivator up to
wards the beam, so that the
plow will run flat. Get an old 14
inch sweep or buzzard wing a lit
tle later on and sharpen it on the
edge a little; fix it so the dot
will fall hack over the plow.
Don’t sweep it out and leave a
furrow; not too deep because
the plant has to have some roots
to live on and the more the bet
ter. E>ecp cultivation will break
and ruin the important life l oots
the first cultivation.
Shallow cultivation—two or
three inches, or just deep
enough to kill the weeds and pro
duce a loose mujph—is the most
satisfactory for corn. By the
time corn is about two feet high
the roots will interlace when the
rows are three and a half feet
apart- It has been found that
three hundred tons of water is
required to produce one ton of
dry matter in corn. I o get the
best results then, the moisture
must be saved and the roots
must not be injured. Shallow
cultivation kills the weeds, saves
the life roots and produces a dust
mulch which conserves the mois
ture.
After rains the soil generally
bakes and crusts. In this condi
tion the soil moisture evaporates
very rapidly and the cultivators
and other means of light plowing
must be set to work to maintain
the much needed mulch which
holds the moisture. A crust on
the surface of the ground causes
the moisture to be drawp out of
the subsoil to the surface, where
it is quickly lost by evaporation.
Run a light harrow over the
ground as soon as it is possible
after a rain to prevent the for
mation of a crust. Then shal
low cultivation and lots of it will
hold the moisture which will be
needed so much for big crops.
Good cultivation for the grow
mg crops is tne mam ooject nuw.
Good cultivation means lots of
it, level and shallow, so as to
make a dust mulch, which con
serves the moisture, protects
the live growing life roots which
need the moisture so much. Cit
tivate shallow.
Watch for mouldy corn chops.
Hundreds of horses died at this
time last year from this cause.
Balance your accounts and see
if it does not pay to raise and
save feed crops.
Let us live at home.

• Commissioner.

A Good Pistol Toting Act.
The Denison Herald mentions
a law enacted by the last legis
lature of Texas that, if properly
enforced, ought to go a long way
toward putting a crimp in the
pistol toting practice. It makes
the attempt to shoot a man with
a pistol or gun a felony, no mat
ter whether the weapon is fired
or not. The same law covers all
other weapons, such as dirks,
bowie knives and the like. Whe
ther a man draws a pistol or us
es it the effect is the same. He
may get clear of the attempt to
kill but he cannot get clear of
the fact that he was using a wea
pon that falls inside the line of
felonious intent. The law is a
good one, and we would be pleas
ed to see one like it in force in
Arkansas.—Fort Smith Times

Heart Disease Almost
Fatal to Young Girl
"My daughter, when thirteen year*
ted# was stricken with heart trouble.'
•he was so bad we had to place ber
bed near a window
so she could gat
her breath. One
doctor said, ‘Poor
child, she Is likely
to fall dead any
time.’ A frienl
told me Dr. Miles*
Heart Remedy had
cured her father,
so I tried It, and
she began to Im
prove. She took
a great many bot
tles, but she la
spared to me to
day, a fat, rosy
cheeked girl. No one can imagine the
confidence I have in Dr. Miles’ Heart
Remedy.” A R. CaNON, Worth. Mo.
The unbounded confidence Mr.
Canon has in Dr. Miles’ Heart Rent*
edy is shared by thousands of
others who know its value from
experience. Many heart disorders
yield to treatment, if the treatment
is right. If you are bothered with
short breath, fainting spells, swell
ing of feet or ankles, pains about
the heart and shoulder blades, pal
pitation, weak and hungry spells,,
you should begin using Dr. Miles^
Heart Remedy at once. Profit by
the experience of others while y4M
may.
