SEEPAGE IRRIGATION.
ever Drought In Apt to Injure
Late Crops.

Seepage irrigation is practiced in
some sections of the west, and is ap-
plicable to many districts throughout
the Mississippi valley and prairie states,
where drought frequently Injuries late
crops. The plan is best suited to low,
flat valleys, especially the river or
creek bottoms where the surface strata
is a sandy loan or vegetable compost
tion. In the mountain regions where
the water and lava made soil contains
alkaline substances the continual prac-
tice of seepage-irrigation destroys land
fertility. l have seen fields that once
produced 600 bushels of potatoes to the
acre so completely mineralized from
seepage irrigation as to be worthless,
except for growing joint grass and sal
eratus-bush for early spring pasture.
While this danger exists in the west
there is practically no such trouble
to fear in the central and eastern
states Seepage irrigation, if prop
erly managed, would certainly work.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Watch sod orchard. twill begin to
fail before you know it.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be ap-
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Probably nine-tenths of the apple
orchards are in sod, and many of them
are meadows. OF course they are fall
ing.
Potash may be had in wood ashes,
and muriate of potash. It is most COM
monty used in the latter form. An an
nual application of potash should be
made upon bearing orchards, 500
pounds to the acre. y
Phosphoric acid is the second impor-
tant fertilizer to be applied artifcially
to orchards. OF the plain superphos-
pilates, from 300 to 500 pounds may be
applied to the acre.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops, then when applied to
orchards; yet they can be used with
good results, particularly when rejuv-
enating the old orchards.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and q crop can then be sown
upon the land. This crop may serve as
q cover or protection to the soil and as
a green manure. - Prof. Bailey. In

PLANNING THE GARDEN.
How 1t Can Be Made More Profitable
and Generally Useful Than
Ever Before.

Before the time for planting comes
make a plan of the garden and plant
Systematically, so as to get the most of
the ground next season, and thus make
the garden more profitable than it ever
has been before.
Plant all the rows north and south,
so as to allow the sun, to shine equally
on every row and on both sides of them.
Plant the early radlshes, lettuce,
beets, peas and beans by themselves
along on one side of the garden. plant
ing the later vegetables in another
strip, so as to have one side of the gar
den clear as soon as possible in order
to put in the later crop Of cucumbers
for pickles, winter squashes, turnips,
celery, etc.
If the garden is planted in this way
it will be possible to grow two crops on
all of it, but that part devoted to lima
beans, parsnips and one or two other
things that require the whole season.
Squash vines planted among the early
potatoes will begin to run about the
time the potatoes are used up, and will
have g. free space to grow in.
Put on a coat of manure and plow It
in as soon as the ground can be worked
in the spring. It may even be plowed
little wet, if the work is done early
enough that it will freeze afterward, as
the frost will break up the soil and
make it loose and friable. Plow deep
and thoroughly, for there is no better
preventive of the effects of drought
than deep blowing and perfect pulver-
cation.
The farm garden that does not pro-
duce at least $50 worth Of vegetables on
half an acre is land wasted, and with
little pains twice this amount may be
produced.-Farmer's Voice.

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON
Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-nais
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.

admirer Of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

LOCATING AN ORCHARD.
Plant Land That I. Too Rocky to Be
Cultivated with Advantage
to Fruit Trees.

Winter is the time to locate and plan
the orchard. Much land that is too
rocky to cultivate to advantage can be
planted to fruit trees with profit.
While it is more work to start an or
chard in a rocky place and do it well, it
is one Of the best uses to which rocky
land can be put.
It is best to plow the land deep and
thorough when possible, as the trees
will make better and thriftier growth
in every way if, when planted out, the
soil has been prepared in good filth.
BY taking advantage of opportu-
mites the blowing may be done during
the winter, and much valuable time
saved when spring opens.
Another advantage gained by plow-
ing the ground during the winter is
that the planting can be done earlier
in the spring than would otherwise be
possible. With the ground all pre-
pared advantage may be taken of the
first opportunity for planting.
It is best to plow deep and thorough.
If necessary an applicat of manure
can be given after the blowing. Usual
ly manuring is more necessary when
the trees come into bearing than dur
ing growth, as good, rich soil is es-
sential to the production of the best
quality of fruit, while the average soil
is usually rich enough to insure good,
healthy growth of the trees.
Another item is to plan out the
ground, measure it off and set stake
where each tree is to be planted. In
planning the orchard better results will
be secured if the trees are planted in
blocks; that is, all OF one variety
grouped toge ther instead OF having
them in long rows or with the differ.
emit varieties scattered through the
orchard.
With the trees secured in the fall
and heeled in, the ground plowed and
staked off, the trees may be set out in
the spring as soon as the frost is well
out of the ground and the soil is sui
fciently dried out to work readily into
a good filth.
Early planting is preferable when
ever it can be done.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

IRRIGATION BY sEEPAGE.

wonders in fruit-growing and hay
making in every state, even in the great
est rainfall belt.
The system is very simple, consisting
of main ditch and laterals carrying
water to the land. where it is i'm
pounded and left to percolate through
the soil. Dams of wood or stones are
thrown across the main to raise the
water to fill the laterals, when the
head-gates are closed. A good plan is
to have wooden gates made by insert
ing boards into slots much the same
as the tail gate of wagon box. The
seepage bitches should be deep enough
to hold good volume of water, and
dug close enough together to allow
the moisture from parallel laterals to
meet beneath the surface. On some
soils water from bitches three feet wide
and two feet deep will percolate 200
feet or more in IL hours. I have run
water around block of one and one
fourth acres in two-foot bitches, and
soaked the entire area with one filing
of the laterals.
In some of the river valleys through
out the northwest the farmers depend
entirely on natural seepage for grow
ing crops in the lower bottoms. This
could be improved and crops made
more certain by cutting trenches
around and across the fields and con-
veying the water through as drain
bitches are used for carrying off sur
plus. But to get the best results from
seepage the water should stand as in
pools or reservoirs and find it's nat
ural outlet through the soil. Some
times these open seepage bitches are
filled with logs, stones, brush or other
material and plowed over the same as
a perfect subirrigation system. If any
reader doubts the value of seepage
bitches let him visit the valleys Of the
Arkansas in Kansas, the drought Sec
tions of California or the river bot
toms Of eastern Oregon during a dry
season, and he will become converted
to underground irrigation, even though
he resides in New Jersey or On, the
Florida coast.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm
and Fireside.
