Shelter the manure spreader. Careful feeding prevents scours. Potatoes are only a fair feed for cows. - . Clean cultivation in the orchard is necessary.

Corn silage and alfalfa hay make a balanced ration.

The cow that is a good producer must be fed liberally. ,

Don’t make the garden too small for the hand-wheel hoe. : : :

Alkali water has very little effect upon the flavor of butter.

The best way to kill out weeds is never to let 'em come up.

Two-fifths of the world’s- 100 million swine are in the United States. .

The milk giving quality can be developed only when it is inherited.

There is much more to plowing than sitting up and holding the lines.

Similarify of breeding stock produces offspring of much greater value.

Give the stock plenty of salt, and be sure they drink an abundance of water.

The most expensive help on some farms is the dog sent to round up the COWS. : e 3

The vegetable and fruit garden can be made the most profitable acre on the farm:. .

Success in dairy farming depends as much on the man as upon any natural condition. 4 In planting a new orchard it is far better to use too much space than to crowd the trees. .

Sunshine, pure air and clean surroundings will do much to make the dairy barn more attractive.

If you must use manure in the newly planted orchard, better put it on top of the ground—never in the hole with the tree. _ :

Calves should have the milk warm from the separator, and the pigs should have their share sweet and in the same way. '

Not much use treating seed potatoes for scab if they are to be planted in the same ground where the crop was scabby last year.

Many of the good dairymen started with . Shorthozrn and dual purpose cows. As soon as they began to study, however, they changed. Two eyes to the piece is the right way to cut seed potatoes, but have the piece large enough so as to give the sprouts a good start.

The common disk harrow found upen every farm in. the northwest is one . of,. the most valuable of all the implements used by the farmer.

In setting out trees the holes should rot be dug too far in advance. The sooner the tree is set after digging the hole the better the start it will make.

Enlarge the early orchard for early fruits. It is rather difficult to have = surplus of early and late fruits. The middle season is more easily overstocked. '

The black raspberry thrives best on land that lies well for natural drainage. It can not be grown on iunB that is naturally of a wet and therefore cold nature.

Milking is one of the most important tasks on the farm and should be so considered. It can scarcely be called a side issue when so much profit dep_ends upon it. o

The silo has now become almost a necessity on the farm, if profits are looked for. There are many farms on which it is not yet found, but the number of these is decreasing. _

The arrangement of the farmstead should have careful consideration for it must be remembered that this is the headquarters of all the farm work. If there is waste here there is sure to be ‘waste in other parts of the farm. .

Exercise is necessary both for man and beast, but this does not mean that there should be an over-amount. It is especially bad policy to arrange the house so that the wife must take a long walk every time she goes from the kitchen to the dining room.

Poor butter is the curse of the farm dairy. It is better economy to sell the butter-fat or the whole-milk than to try to manufacture the product at home if you have not the equipment with which to turn out a high quality. This equipment is available and it can certainly be secured or there should be a change in your plans, Lo

Beware of poor seed. Live stock mean:success. , Chicks need mu:;x attention. Make paths and:orders neat.

Tankage is recommended for sows.

Silage will not ‘injure the cow’s teeth. ) .

Alfalfa is the greatest pevymanent hog forage.

Evergreens ought to be planted as easly as possible.

Head work will often save hard work on the farm. :

Al the various breeds of hogs have their ardent admirers.

Oats and peas will provide a good growing ration for hogs.

QOats cut at ‘the proper timie make a very good quality of hay.

Every pig that goes to pasture should have a ring in his nose.

The best way to get nitrogen into the soil is to sow it in with clover.

You cannot rush a hog, and as soon as you try it you will get in a mess.

. It does not take much buttermilk in the butter to make it turn rancid ear-

During the summer months, the ewes should have access to luxuriant pasture. . cae

If you can’t afford to buy a purebred cow or bull, buy a calf and breed up a herd. ‘

There is just as much need of improved dairymen as there is of improved herds. - :

When in doubt as to what use to make of hen manure, try it as a top dressing on grass. o

The farm should be well supplied with . garden tools if you want the boys to do the work.

Continued close confinement in the stalls is liable to cause permanent enlargement of the joints.

This is the season to plan the build ings and changes that will be made on the farm a little later. )

Big machinery is not always profit able. The machine should fit the farm and the power to handle it.

If you cannot - provide a dip for swine; give them a spray. The boys can spray hogs without any trouble.

The horses that are best able tc stand hard strains are those which work steadily every day in the week

When opening your silo bear in mind that whenever you change feed the change should be made gradually.

One good cow well fed and cared for will give more net profits than two good cows not so well fed and cared for. :

~ Raising chickens in confinement under too artificial conditions leads to ultimate trouble in the laying -and breeding pens.

The best piece of advice for a be ginner in poultry raising is to go slow at first. Start with a few birds. and learn as you go.

Once more through the corn will add many bushels to your crop. Muzzle the horse, use a short whiffletree and cultivate shallow. Prune a little every vyear rather than too much one year. Tt will be much easier for you, and a great deal better for the orchard.

No one who has a first-class garden is ever heard to express any regrets about it. Not so the one who has none and buys his vegetable in tin cans.

Do you have some tomato and early cabbage plants growing? If not itisn’t too late yet to plant some seed. Get busy though, spring is coming fast.

" A prominent horticulturist says: “Never mulch young trees. It draws the roots toward the surface and makes them susceptible to changes in temperature.” )

If you are not sure whether or not a hen is broody enough to take eggs, put your hand under her breast. If she grips it with her breast, she is ready for eggs.

It is best not to let a new sitter have eggs until you are sure she means business. Give her two or three eggs for a couple of days and see if she is a sticker.

The most valuable farms were at one time sloughs and swamps and considered worthless. Drainage has made them what they are now—vaik uable.

Only a few farmers at the present time have the ideal ration for dairy cows, but they can and should ar range to grow it on the farm and have it on hand at all times.

A person planning to go into apple growing should be sure his soil is suitable for apples. Besides this the land must have good air &and soil drainage, exposure and elevation.

Don’t risk leaving any horse no matter how trusty, without tying him these crisp mornings. The invigorating air makes them fairly tingle to be up and going, and runaways are often the result.

The trailing nasturtiums are among the easiest annuals to grow and will give a supply of flowers the whole geason. Plant when danger of frost is past, or in pots or boxes, and trans plant to the open later, ,

' NE of the largest, and in many respects the most wonderful, waterworks system in the world will be completed and placed in operation in the course of this month by the City of Los Angeles, Cal. The Aqueduct, with its system of five storage reservoirs, is 235 miles in length, and is designed to- carry a daily supply of 258,000,000 gallons from the Sierra Nevada mountains southward across the great Mojave desert, under the Sierra Madre range and into the San Fernando valley, twenty-five miles northwest of the city.. From here the water needed for domestic consumption will be carried in a six-foot steel pipe into the city’s present distribution mains. The system comprises the longest aqueduct in the world, The project was inaugurated in 1905, and since 1908 an army of 5,000 men have Dbeen .steadily employed night and day in its construction. On the desolate and sun-scorched desert the summer temperatures have ranged as high as 120 degrees F. In fact, one of the great problems has been to provide the men and animals with food and waier and proper accommodations to withstand the climatic conditions. Of Various Forms. The Los Angeles Aqueduct, as it is called, is of various forms and designs. The first twenty-two miles is unlined open canal, the following thirty-eight miles is an open ditch, and the remainder is in covered concrete conduit, tunnels, and concrete and riveted steel siphons, the latter being used to carry the water across deep canyons, or valleys. More than fiftythree miles of the aqueduct is composed of tunnels driven through solid grarite, the longest being the Elizabeth tunnel, under the Sierra Madre mountains, with a length of five miles. The system of four storage reservoirs provides for the impounding of fifty billion gallons, whic¢h, at the rate of the city's present daily consumption, would be sufficient to supply the municipality for three years. Much of the work has been done from five to thirty-five miles from any railroad. Preliminary to the construc‘tion of the aqueduct it was necessary to build 3%0 miles of roads and trails, . four water systems with 190 miles of mains, three hydro-electric power plants, a telephone system 350 miles lcng, a standard gauge steam railroad 120 miles into tke Mojave desert, and a cement mill costing $875,000, With the exception of one small contract for nine miles of conduits and tunnels, the entire work has been done by the ‘city. The system is a gravity one throughout, the intake being at an elevation of 3,812 feet above sea-level, and the elevation of Los Angeles being on an average only 276 feet. The cost of the work has been $20,000,000, exclusive ¢f any power development. By impounding the flow of the aqueduct at its outlet during .he rainy season it will be possible to deliver more \than 300,000,000 gallons daily during the dry season—April 15 to October 15 —in which no rain falls. This is much more than sufficient to meet the daily requirements of the City of London. As the City of Los Angeles has a present population of only 400,000, and requires but 50,000,000 gallons daily, the surplus aqueduct flow for a long period of years will be devoted to the irrigation of 135,000 acres of orange and lemon lands adjacent to the city. : ! : Chief Features. One of the chief features of the enterprise is in the generation of hydro-electric energy. There is a fall of 1,500 feet in the aqueduct fortyseven miles from the city, with the possibility of developing 120,000,000

MANY CLIMATES IN ALASKA

But There Is One Island Where Cold Weather Is Absolutely Unknown.

“There isn’t a section of the United States, I venture to gay, where at some time frost has not been known,” remarked Hugh C. Todd of ' Seattle, chairman of the Democratic state committee of Washington, at the Willard, according to the Washington Post. “But in Alaska, which is looked upon as the coldest country on earth, bar Greenland and the arctic region, there is an island where frest has never been heard of. This is Middleton island, one of the Aleutian group of islands close to the Japan current. There the temperature is always mild. Twenty miles away on the other side of the islands, it is nearly always freezing—in fact, is a country of such varied climate that almost anything can be preduced. It is possible to grow strawberries, blackberries and other early summer fruit for the winter market. In the Susitna valley, which is the valley that distributes

horse-power. Of this amount, 37,500 horse-power are now being developed at a cost of $3,360,000. The powerhouses will be ready for operation within several months after the aque duct is placed in operation, and their output will be devoted to lighting the city’s streets and boulevards. The designer and constructor of this great work, which in point of magnitude ranks as the third largest hydrauliq work under way-in the western hemisphere, is the City’s Water Kngineer, Mr., William Hulholland.

The accompanying picture gives a good idea of the formidable nature of the enterprise, and the immense scale on which the work has been carried out. It shows how the huge pipe has been carried down one side of th> arid Jawbone canyon, across the bottom of the valley and high up on the opposite side to the poirt where it dives below the surface of the soil; and is continued underground. The Jawbone siphon alone is 8,000 feet in length—or over one and a half miles—measures from seven feet six inches to ten feet in diameter, and has a total weight of 3,300 tons. The picture is taken looking north, from the south rim of the canyon and 800 feet above the valley floor, and between the bottom of the canyon and the point on its side where the pipe plunges underground the difference in level is 850 feet. At the lowest point the water pressure is anormous—3so pounds to the square inch, which is equivalent to twenty-four atmospheres —and to resist this internal pressure on the pipe the steel here is one and one-quarter inches in thickness, the rivets used in fastening the sections together being seven inches long.

Have to Watch Crops.

Unwelcome visits' of predatory bands during the harvest season in China have led to professional ‘“crop watchers” being hired to guard against the larcenists eager to ply their trade in .orchard or field. In some districts societies exist whose business it is to furnish watchers whenever required. Almost every fleld has its watch tower, and these frail tenements are never deserted, night or day, until the crop is gathered. Towers are necessary, as giant millet grows to a height of ten feet, usually, and often reaches fifteen feet. Armed with sharp knives, the thieves enter the fields and cut off the large millet heads.

History of the Key

The key was one of the first ‘hings invented by man. The primitive key was probably. a thorn or seplinter. Afterward fish bones seem to have come into use. Wooden pegs followed these. In modern times the process of manufacturing keys is_very highly developed. Fifty years ago there were only some hundred varieties of keys, each having its special name and distinct use. Today they are legion.—Harper’s Weekly.

This Poet’'s Wife Was Practical

“If I can do anything to cheer and brighfen the lives of my fellow men I shall be perfectly satisfied,” remarked the long-haired poet. “Thnen,” replied his weary wife, “why don't you quit writing poetry and get up a comic series in which the humor is furnished by some one who hits another over the head with a club?” .

Law Aimed at Careless Autolsts.

Following the example of other foreign cities, Paris has seen the light and henceforth the use of muffier cut outs on automobiles in that city will bring retribution in the form of the law. Their use has been made a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. ? _

the waters of the southern slope of the coast range, the weather, 1 venture, is now warmer and finer than in any part of the United States. That is brought about, of course, by the Japan current.” Mr. Todd is the youngest chairman in the country, it is said. He was a candidate for governor of Washington in the primaries and was defeated by Governor Listen by only 300 votes. Then he turned in and managed Governor Lister’s campaign and won a victory. “Washington state is a commonwealth that is just as widely diversified in her politics as her.resources,” said Mr. Todd. “We can produce nearly everything, and we raise all kinds of politicians. In the recent election every party, including the woman suffragists, Prohibitionists and Socialists, got some office.” : Tact Won Position. “How on earth did Mrs. Millyuns ever buy her way into society? With her money?’ “With that and tact.” “Tact?’ “Yes. She always lost at bridge.” '

AT NONT ST. MICHEL Something of Its Old Charm Still Left for the Tourist. When Romantic Spot Was a Real leland and Bay Was Full of Shifting Sands—Wonderful Building Is ’ Well Preserved. . Pontorson.—Those who have known' Mont St. Michel for many years real ize only tco well that much of its charm has departed, never to return. At Pontorson, the nearest village, the tourist, in the old days, first came under the spell of the place. Pontorson need never have existed had there been no Mont St. Michel; and there was a medieval charm about its irregular streets, its smithy with the great, deep, thached roof, and its street lamps that were let down to the roadway by cord and pulley for lighting, that was very delightful. The long, straight road that led to the island—nine kilometers of it—was bordered’ by a streamlet by which wild flowers grew, and there were cottages by the wayside, where they Kkept things that appealed to the thirsty man, and the room that combined the offices of the dining room, ~drawing room and bedroom often held wonderful pieces of old furniture. It was a long walk; but a ride in a jolting country cart was the only alternative and the walk had many attractions. In those days the Mont. was a real island. Whether it was, for the moment, in Normandy or in Brittany was never quite certain; for the bay that holds it is full of shifting sands and the stream had a way of changing its course, from time to time, and boring a way for itself now on one side of the rock and now on the other. There was, though, always an adventurous passage by ferryboat over the quartermile of water that separated it from the mainland, and a transfer, occasionally, to the ferryman’s shoulders when the state of the tide kept the boat away from the steep tpproach to the great building on the rock. Years ago, though, all this was changed; and with the beginning of change modernization began. A causeway came, to connect the island with the mainland. Later a light railway destroyed the quiet of the country road from Pontorson to Mont St. Michel. And after this came greater troubles still. No vandalism, happily, has been allowed to impair the beauty of the wonderful building that covers the great cone of rock as a thimble might cover a giant finger . tip—so closely that the summit ,of the rock is -to be found a few feet below the floor of the church that surmounts the whole edifice.- The centuries of labor

The perfectly propor tloned quadrangle that for economy of space, was built on the roof of the church, with no two of its pillars alike, and the delicate escalier de dentelles, the great kitchen of the abbey, the battlements and oubliettes of the fortress—for the building has served many purposes in its time—are still unspoilt.

HAS RIGHT TO CHANGE MIND

Justice Kelby Reduces Bail in Breach of Promise Case in Brooklyn Court. i

New York.—A blow for sex equality was struck by Supreme Court Justice Kelby of Brooklyn. The jurist gave it as his opinion that a man, as well as a woman, had a right to change his mind. And because of that, Jacob Banoff, who had been sent to jail for 17 days, will be released in $lOO bail. The court said in an application to reduce the bail of Banoff, jailed in a breach of promise suit: “In these modern days of suffrage agitation we must not be too severe with the men, as long as no unfair advantage has been taken of the women.” -
