Mr.F lemlng, Santa Fe brakeman who
runs into Dodge City, has farm on
Bear Creek. just beyond the Kansas line,
and is making grand success by using
a windmill pump to irrigate. He has a
system of fumes made of six inch fence
boards about fourteen inches under.
ground, into which he runs the water at
intervals of ten feet apart. He only has
small windmill, but by handling the
water underground, spreads it over a
comparatively large area. He has grown
a fine let of trees around the premises
for wind brakes in great profusion and
can now raise anything they need. Mr..
Fleming drifted into using these fumes
by first blowing out trenches as deep as
he could conveniently, clearing them out
smooth with spade or shovel, then throw
ing in some cane stalks and blowing the
dirt back on them and running the water
through to irrigate the ground. They
were deep enough that he plowed and
and cultivated the land without disturb
ing the cane stalks, and it worked very
nicely till the dirt settled among the
stalks and choked up the trenches so the
water could not run. Then he made
new trenches lined with fencing fumes.
The final outcome will be the use of tiles
to convey the water, which will be the
most enduring of all.
The splendid results of gardening by
the use of water in Dodge City is be-
coming more aud more gratifying. Last
Monday J. H. Rockwell brought to our
Office two baskets filled with specimens
of vegetables he has raised in his home
gardens by devoting leisure moments to
their care. They were indeed superior
as to quality and size of samples. A
SNOWFALL cauliflower head was large
enough to fill gallon crock, yet white
and tender. Mr., Rockwell keeps the
heads white and good by drawing the
leaves up over them and putting a
wooden peg through to hold Them there.
There were some red turnip sugar beets
just the right size to make pickles. The
seeds were imported from Italy. They
measured little over foot in circum-
ference, and yet cooked nice and sweet
and tender as any we ever saw. Mr..
Rockwell says he does not plant the long
beets because they grow two large. Red
Weatherfield onions sets were IL and SIS
inches in diameter, but the most surpris-
ing Of all was lot of white Italian King
onions, measuring over ten inches in
circumference, raised from the seed.
They will grow two months yet and it
will be astonishing the size they will
attain at maturity.
