USEFUL SNOW.
But Fsor It Much OF the Earth wonId
he Little BETTER Than a Desert.

HUT For 1t Much OF the Earth W0Nl6
BE Little Better Than q Desert.
II all the tsondensed moisture Of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none of it as snow, hundreds Of thou
sands of square miles of the earth's
surface now yielding bountiful crops
would be little better than a desert.
The tremendous economic gain for the
world at large which results from the
difference between snow and rain is
seldom realized by the inhabitants Of
fertile and well watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regions where ir-
rigation is a prime necessity in agricul-
ture that the special uses Of the snow
I come chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
high mountains and packing itself
firmly into the ravines. Thus in ma
lures great icehodse a supply of mois-
ture is stored up for the following sum.

\ All through the warm months the
hardened snowbanks are melting grad

through the valleys are utilized for IT.
rigation. If this moisture fell as rain,
it would almost Immediately wash
down through the rivers, which would
hardly be fed at all In the summer,
when the crops most needed water.
These facts are so we'll known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
ley and in the subarid regions Of the
west generally. They are not so well
understood in New Jersey or Ohio,
where snow is sometimes a pictur-
esque, sometimes a disagreeable, fea.
ture Of winter.
In all parts Of the country the notion
prevails that the snow is Of great value
as a fertilizer. Scientists, however, are
inclined to attach less Importance to it's
service in soil n~utrition-for some re-
gions which have no SNOW are exceed
ingly. fertile-than to it's worth as q
blanket during the months Of high
winds. 1t prevents the blowing off of
the finely pulverized richness of the
top soil. This, although little perceiv-
ed, would often be a very great loss.

DRUFF GERM.
For some time it has been known
that dandruff is caused by a germ that
digs up the scalp into little white
flakes, and sapping the vitality of the
hair at the root, causes falling hair,
and, OF course, finally badness. For
years there have been all kinds Of hair
stimulants and scalp tones ON the
market, but there has been no per-
manent cure for dandruff until the dis
covery of a preparation called New
BROS Herpicide, which destroys the
dandruff germ. Destroy the cause,
the effect will cease to exist. Kill
the dandruff germ and you'll have no
dandruff, no itching scalp, no falling
hair.

EXTENSIVE FARMING.
Traction Engine For Flowing, Etc.
Steam Harvesters.

VTaCt1On Engine TOT TluPS 1ABs CECs
Steam Harvesters.
We fnd traction engines cheaper
than stock for blowing, being able to
plow with one engine about 40 acres a
day. This necessitates the cost Of about
$40 a day for fuel and help, including
all Incidental expenses connected with
the work. 1t is a much cheaper way
Of blowing than with teams, al it does
away with a large force Of men and
with being obliged to carry a large
stock of feed for the animals which
would have to be used. 1t has proved
very successful in this respect, espe-
cially on our reclaimed lands, writes q
California correspondent to Rural New
Yorker.
The production and manufacturing
of steam harvesters are increasing ev-
cry year, and in the locality in which /
am situated we are using about Is
steam harvesters. They give the best
Of satisfaction on our lands, where
crops average from 25 to 40 sacks of
grain to the acre. This would be al
most impossible to handle with the
headers, and it is to- expensive to
harvest crops with binders or reap
ers. 1t has proved the most satisfac-
tory way Of harvesting, getting the
crops into market much faster and
without that loss which is occasioned
by the grain being stacked and getting
the early rains. Every one who owns
n of these engines, which is confined
to the largest farmers, uses them the
year around. I could not answer your
| question regarding pushing or pulling
binders, hut I cannot see why they
would not be just as successful In this
as they would be in handling the COM
hined ~harvesters, for, as you know, 1t
takes the employ Of eight men. and
these can harvest 1000 sacks Of grain
q day, which we consider about an av-
erage run for harvesters that cut a 20
foot swath.
The traction engines are used q great
| deal in the mountains for hauling lum-
Der and logs, and from what: I a find
out they have been very successful. We
formerly used coal for fuel, but since
the discovery OF oil all those people
who are handling traction engines find
1t much more economical and cleaner,
and there is a great deal less danger Of
fire.
Land which horses cannot so over or
plow we use what we call the rolling
disk plow, which will cultivate, as I
say, from So to 40 acres a day. AS to
the question Of economy, this is a great
deal more saving than any other way
OF. harvesting. I do not know of any
persons who have used the traction en-
i gines with combined harvesters that
have discarded them. All that I know
Of that have been manufactured here
are In use, and I have heard of no ex.
preston Of dissatisfaction.
