Plant 1t To Eyergreens.

A friend who has a few acres of quite
sandy soil on a ridge On his farm which
was poisoned with sorrel wrote us last
year wanting to know how to get rid of
the sorrel. He did it by blowing twice
during the drouth of last August and
September, and now wants to get the
land into clover with a view to enrich
ing it, as the soil is very thin and poor.
This is a hard proposition unless he is
sure of abundant moisture, for an Au-
gust sun will about cook clover, with
out rain, under such conditions of soil.
Instead of clover for such a case, we
would try cowpeas, and, if we had such
a spot on our farm we would give up
the idea of trying to make either a pas
ture or tillable lane out of it and would
set it out with Scotch and white pine
or red cedars 1t would then look nice
and cease to bother, even if it could
only be regarded as a legacy for our
grandchildren.

Irrigation by the Government.

Reclamation of waste and desert
land by systematic irrigation on a large
scale is to receive the attention of the
general government now for the first
time. 1t is a grand and %farreaching
work, of infinitely more promise than
the investment of millions in pulling,
snagging and dredging sandbars in I'M
namable and unnavigable creeks. The
almost universal verdict of the Ameri-
can people on this question of reclama-
ton of territory by government author
ity is that it should be promptly ana
in~telligently undertaken, the proceeds
of all reclaimed land sold to be devoted
to the work. Like the postal depart
ment, we believe that irrigation by the
government may be self-sustaining or
very nearly so.

How the Grove Was Born.

Here is the way in which nature
builds up a grove Of trees on the
prairie: There was a piece of old rail
fence left by the side of an abandoned
homstad. TIL drifting winds bore a
cottonwood seed. a tangle of lint float
ing like a snowflake, and dropped it in a
corner of the old fence. The little seed
grew, II a migratory robin, stopping
to rest in the top of the little tree,
dropped a seed of a black cherry. Then
some hunters, seeing the little trees,
stopped under their shade to eat their
dinner, and, having some wild plums
for dessert, they threw the pits down,
and n of these grew and soon multi
piled into a plum thicket. The shelter
thus afforded Don drew the birds from
far away, and the birds and the winds
cooperating kept adding new varie-
ties of shrub and tree and woodland
vine and flower, while the drifting
SHOWS of the winter added their mite.
But just as nature in her curious way
had planted the little grove the prairie
fire is loosed on the front of a great
south wind, and in a moment the pa
tient work of years is blotted out. 1t
is more than probable that, had it not
been for the ever-recurring fires, what
is now, or, rather, was, the prairie re-
giOn of the Northwest, would, wherever
the rainfall was sufficient to promote the
growth of tree life, have been covered
with a 0ense growth of timber instead
of grass.

Corn For North Dakota.

We note a very interesting fact in
connection with the holding of a farm
ers' institute at Fargo, N. d., recently.
Among other topics on the program
was, Corn For North Dakota and How
to Grow It," The mere fact of latitude
would on the face of it seem to place
this territory far north of the corn belt:
but, to our surprise. when there last
summer we saw some large fields of
corn, one at least of 40. acres, and,
While no such crops of corr will there
be grown as farther south. still the
happy faculty of this cereal in adjust
ing itself to climatic conditions seems
to be developing a type of corn which
can be grown even in that far north
country with profit. South Dakota
maze a splendid record on orr last
year, much better than was made in
some of the so-called corn states.

old-fashioned singing, spelling and de-
batting school for the country commu-
nifty where it can possibly be maintain
ed. Such a weekly gathering forms a
nucleus for much social pleasure and
profit aside from the indisputable and
permanent value of training in such
lines for the country boy and girl.
Many a fine singer has graduated from
a country singing school, many an ora
tor spoke the first piece with his knees
knocking together before his chums
and mates at a country debating school,
while only where such spelling schools
are held can hardly any one be found
who can spell such stem-winder words
as apothegm, Melchisedec and Sibyl.
Such gatherings do not cost much to
and only need the interest
and active work of a few bright BOYS
and girls to get them started in almost
any community.

Four Hundred Dollars a Year.

We are asked by a man aged 35 who
has a wife and four children whether
we can suggest any way whereby he can
get a start when his income from COM
mon days labor never exceeds $500 per
year. Not possessing the wisdom of
King Solomon, We feel like letting this
job out; still, perhaps we-can offer a
suggestion, even If we cannot give adj
vice. The $500 a year, as most laboring
men live, will do very little besides
providing food, raiment and shelter for
the family. Even with good health and
no bad luck the margin of surplus is
small. Therefore, in order to get
the small start which may lead to bet
ter conditions. there is involved a lin
tied period of self-denial for both the
man and his wife, such as most people
would shrink from. A man, his wife
and four children can ana do exist

WILD TURKEYS OF ARIZONA.
The Indians Kill Many and Feast
for Many DAYS Upon Them.


Phoenix, Ariz., letter to the Chicago
Inter Ocean: If all the wild turkeys
in the Mongollon mountains. from
Turkey creek to the Mexico line, could
be killed or trapped, there would be
dinner material for half the families
of the nation. They are big birds.
too.
When the seaso opened, in the mid
die of October, Ed Bush, a Cibiuue
Apache half-breed. brought to the mil
itary post at San Carlos a gobbler
which weighed "a pounds. Three
weeks later. when the turkeys had fat
tened on the beechnuts of the forest
n the grain fields of the mountain
ranches, a party of officers from the
fort on a three days hunt up White
Mountain creek killed 81 turkeys,
averaging 10 pounds each.
Even then the turkeys were not in
their prime. They will be at their best
weight about the first of the year.
when the Cibique braves will hold their
great annual hunt and will feast for
two weeks on the result.
To the frugal housewife who makes
her Christmas turkey last over three
days, the Cibique method of cooking,
turkeys would be "a revelation in
economy. The Cibique is probably
the widest and most exclusive of all
the Apache races, and in the %unexplor-
ed Businesses of the great mountains
of the Mongollon and White ranges he
has held aloof from white companion
ship longer than any other American
Indian.
Not until two years ago, when John
Dacey, the chief of the tribe, was kill
ed in a quarrel with a deputy sheriff,
did the Cibiques permit a white man to
go on their hunts or to attend their
feasts. Since Their they have accepted
h newcomer as a necessary evil, and
last year they invited a number of
officers from Fort Apache, together
with several civilians, to accompany
them.
Nearly 20 bucks, with the seven or
eight whites, killed more than 100
birds in the hunt of two days. In the
dense and nearly impenetrable scrub
oaks of the mountain sides the turkeys
were extremely difficult to find.
The white guests soon wearied o.
the tiresome work of crawling and
writing through the brush, but most
of them waited at the camp the re-
turn of the red hunters. Not a bird
was touched in camp until all the
hunters were in, and then the squaws
prepared the feast.
That night and all next day the
gorging lasted. The following day it
continued, ard then hash was made of
the remains. This diet severed anoth-
er day. and then the last of the white
party left the village.
Three days later one of the white
men CHANGED again to visit the village.
He found the whole population alb
sorbing turkey soup, while the chief
declared that the bones would serve
food purposes for three more days.
Last week a party from Globe shot
nine turkeys neal Turkey creek, three
of the birds weighing over 25 pounds,
and one tipping the scales at AZ
pounds, the largest ever known to be
killed, although the Apache guide de-
clared he had shot turkeys weighing
80 pounds.

somehow in England and on the con-
tinent on an income of $3.50 a year and
even less. Our friend will have to
study this way of living, which involves
a bill of fare wherein oatmeal and po-
tatoes figure very conspicuously. To
accomplish anything in the way Of
making the start desired there must be
at least 500 saved from the living ex-
pense account to begin with. Then, as
soon as possible, a good COW should be
secured and some poultry kept and a
small patch of land procured for a good
garden. These three things will at once
make the saving of 500 from the liv-
ing expense comparatively easy. When
the first 500 is saved, ways and means
to add to it will readily suggest them
selves. and little by little a more desir-
able condition may be brought about.
In this connection we might add that
any attempt to work out of the hole is
useless unless a nan has a wife who is
willing to fully cooperate with him.
We wish that we could offer a better So
luton of this economic problem, but it
is the only way.

The Eastern WaY.

An Eastern farmer was lately on his
first visit West at the home of a farm
er friend in North Dakota. 1t was
.thrashing time. and a large field of fax
was being thrashed in the Dakota way
by hauling the crop from the gavels
in the field direct to the machine. The
men who gathered the flax in the field
were careless and wasteful, this also in
the Dakota way. and left many scat
tered punches here anG there in the
field. When the job was completed,
our Eastern friend asked his host when
he was going to clean up that field, and
was told that it was cleaned up so far as
he was concerned; that up in Dakota
they did not bother with pickings and
rakings. This astonished the Eastern
man, who was a past master in all the
petty economies compelled by Eastern
farm conditions, and he felt sorely
grieved over such a wanton waste. ana
so he asked his friend if he could have
a team and wagon the next day and
gather up and save some of the waste,
which was laughingly assented to, with
the remark that he might have all he
could make out of his rakings. The
team and wagon and the Eastern man
went to work the next morning, and in
a very short time a full load of the scat
tered flax was gathered up, which was
hauled over to the field where the ma
chine was at work. The load was run
through the machine and gave 13 bush
els of clean fax, which he sold for $1.45
per bushel, thus receiving S23.S5 for his
two hours work. Dakota farmers will
do things different from this before
long.

Should Work the Other Way.

We know Of a gentleman who is very
earnestly engaged in the effort to breed
corn back to it's original type. While
this may be an interesting experiment
from a purely scientific standpoint. it
seems to us that it would be every way
better for him to turn around and work
the other way. 1t is one of the easiest
things in the world to secure the degen-
Grafton of any of our improved types,
whether in the vegetable or animal
kingdom; in fact, just let alone they
will any and all 10Y with astonishing
rapidity back to original types. Only
the use of persistent selection of the
best as patent stock secures the mainte-

We have two or three inquiries as to
where good stock farms can be secured
at cheap rates. There is a vast terri
tory in Northern Minnesota-cut over
and burned yer timber lands, good
soil, plenty of water and a reliable rain
fall which seems to be specially
adapted to all grasses-wild grasses
in greatest profusion and the natural
home of clover and timothy. While
these lands. with their sloughs, spectral
tree trunks and rank growth of grass.
look very forbidding at first sight, it
seems to us that the conditions there
exist to make one of the best stock
countries in the North. P~asturing
rough land speedily civilizes it. The
tame grasses soon crowd out the wild
heritage. The stumps and grubs will
soon rot, and, Judging from what we
have seen accomplished elsewhere, it
will only take a very few years to con-
vert this wild and woody territory into
the best of farms. and that without
clearing by hand. These lands are in
close contact with the best markets.
may be bought at low prices and on
easy terms and only await occupation
to make them very valuable farm lands.
Then here are what are called the
range lands of North and Sutho Dako-
ia, a region where the rainfall is de-
llcient and not enough to insure the
profitable culture of cereal crops
without irrigation-a fine stock coun-
try, where men are o making their
fortunes on cattle. These lands sell
for about SO to SIS per acre, and a man
at least a section, and more if he
can get it.
