How to Irricate Fruit Trees.

The old Mexican method is TO set
the trees In ditch aud run In water
until the land is water-logged. Then
the sun pours down its rays and bakes
the soil into an adobe brick. A few
days later the ground orens in wide
cracks, through which the moisture
evaporates from the roots, which are
then scorched by the sun. Further
more, the trunk OF the tree will usu-
ally be found 10 be sun-scalded Just
as high as the water reached. Now
"a totally different plan is pursued by
our scientific neighbors in California
and has been successfully practiced
at the New Mexico Experimental Col
lege at Las Cruces
This method is To open furrow on
each side OF the tree and as near 10 IL
a. the horses can go without injury
TO the branches In the case ofquite
young trees this will be about two
feet from the trunks, and In the case
OF three years Old four or five feet
from the trunks Cross burrows are
also made so that the trees are sur.
rounded by water furrow on all
four sides With older trees two or
more burrows are also run between
the rows.
A small head oi water Is then run
on slowly, SO that IL has time 10
sink down to the roots Nv this
method the ground around the tree
is left dry and pliable at the top and
is easily kept free OF weeds. As soon
a. the land is dry enough cultiva-
tor is run between and across the
rows and the entire surface left in
a fine tilth until The next irrigation.
The result OF this system is that less
water is needed and less often. and
in the event OF a scarcity OF water
the trees will stand longer spell OF
drouth than by the old method OF
flooding. Farm and Orchard.

Narrowing Planted Corn.

One OF the greatest economies in
corn growing il the way in which the
first crop or weeds Is disposed OF by a
thorough harrow once and even
twice before the corn reaches the
surface. II there are no loose sods
or stones left on tho surface TO be
dragged through the soil not grain
OF corn will be injured. The harrow
teeth loosen the surface soil and
allow more air and warmth TO come
In. The work is espec ally beneficial
after a rain has packed the surface.
There Is also great improvement In
the tilth OF the narrowed soil all
through the season from the extra
narrowing at this time. This can
be plainly seen when the cultivator
is run through the rows the Il ST
time The narrowing is continued
by some farmers until the corn is tlye
or six inches high, but IL the surface
has been narrowed until corn is up
the after work can be done quite as
well with the cultivation, though at
a much slower rate. One man with
TWO horses will harrow three time as
large a field as man and horse can
cultivate, taking one row at "A time.

THE creation Of a national bureau
OF health is strenuously urged by
Surgeon General Sternberg OF the
army, who takes the advanced view
that the pubic health should have
been represented from the first by a
cabinet officer. Very few outside OF
the ranks OF the surgeon generals
professional brethren will be likely
10 coincide with this view, but a
great many will approve his proposal
for establishing bureau OF health
in the Department OF the Interior,
which was recommended some time
ago by the New York Academy Of
Medicine 1t is only when there s a
threatened invasion Of some particu-
larry dreaded disease like cholera that
everybody becomes aroused to the
necessity OF general system for the
protection Of the public health, and
yet Surgeon General Sternberg makes
the impressive statement that the
mortality from the preventable dis
eases which pre- vail In all parts OF the
country, such as consumption, ty.
phoid fever, and diphtheria, is far
greater than that caused by cholera
or yellow fever in thosc- countries
where they prevail habitually. Even
In the countries where the exotic
maladies flourish the mortality from
them is not so great as from the non.
pestilent' al diseases The Surgeon
General expresses the belief, based
upon foreign statistics. that a ma.
tional bureau OF health would mean
an added saving to the country OF
6S, 600 lives every year, an assump.
