BRONZE GRASS A WINNER.

The Ranch:
Herewith l hand you money order
for subscription.
The question is often asked what
think of Bronze Grass. I will say that
it is fully up to my expectations as
pasture for dry lands. I have found
that when, says four years ago, that
it is not much good for hay because
it gets too thick and does not grow up
tall like the Cedars of Lebanon, but
remains just as good for pasture.
Have tried other grasses. Orchard
grass is good and perhaps ten days
earlier in spring, but it will not hold
out like Bronze through the hot dry
weather. 1t also requires better land
than Bronze, or in other words Bronze
will do we'll where orchard grass
won't There are quite number OF
grasses but none so far equal to Bronze
for dry land that ! have seen. l ex-
pect to SOW from two to three hundred
acre of it, and raise beef and pork,
as it's all right for both. Will advise
you later as to my success.

AN EFFECTIVE CURE FOR ALKALI

The only really effective method of
retaining alkali lands is to remove
the soluble salts from the soil. This
may be done in many cases where
the soil is comparatively coarse tex
ture or the location is favorable, by
making open, deep bitches at differ
ent intervals IN the field and drain
ing the soil thoroughly. Quite num-
Der of farms around Denver have been
reclaimed from the alkali scourge in
this way The better way and in
most cases the best manner of re-
clamation is to lay system OF trial
drains which, under the influence of
heavy irrigation, will carry off the
soluble alkali of the soil. 1t is urged
against this method that it is very ex-
pensive and that farmers cannot af-
ford it.
Considering, however, the value of
an acre of irrigated land and that the
great majority of lands troubled with
alkali would be among the most val
liable were they reclaimed, it would
seem to be wise investment financial
ly. could they be reclaimed at mod
crate COST The expense of underdrain-
ing does not need to be excessively
high. In fact, the average alkali lands
could be drained by the open ditch
system at an expense of from $40 to
SIT an acre, with an average cost of
perhaps $13 or $14 an acre.
There is, of course, considerable hes
itation on the part of farmers to under
take draining because they are not GER
tain from their own trials or from
those of their neighbors that the meth
cd will be successful in moving the
excess of alkali Drainage not only
removes alkali from the land but it
puts it in most excellent mechanical
condition and the probability is that
drained lowlands will yield heavier
crops under our conditions of irriga-
ton than will the lowlands that are
not drained, even though they are free
from alkali.
The alkali curse has blighted many
districts in the past and at times it
has seemed that it has been impossible
to overcome it.

CONCRETE FLOORS AND WALKS.

table floors are better than those
r,ade of stone, brick or wood, and
onv handy man can make them. The
est requisites for the work are good
harm sand and the very best grade
If Portland cement If it is walk you
wish to construct first dig trench
one foot deep, just as wide and long
90 YOU want your walk. Next fill this
trench with coarse sand or gravel
eight inches deep, but if you have
neither you may use coal cinders, pack
ing down whatever is used with a
mani or heavy block of wood with a
handle fixed to it. Next place smooth
straight boards four inches wide along
the sides of this trench, fastening them
with stakes. Place boards four inches
wide across your walk, three feet
apart, and you have your mould ready
for the first layer of cement. Have a
strong. tight mortar box and into this
mt sand and cement, four parts OF
the former to one of the latter. Mix
this thoroughly while dry, then apply
water with a sprinkling can, mixing
all the while till you have a stiff NOR
tar that you can handle with shovel.
Dump the mortar into your moulds and
tramp down 31ainches thick, filling
four or five moulds at time. Next
take the fine sifted sand and cement,
equal parts, then apply water and
make a soft mortar, and spread this on
top of the coarse cement One-half inch
thick, or to the top of boards and level
it off by drawing straight edge over
the frame. Then trOwel it down and
leave it a few days to dry. Before
the trowelling is done remove the par
ton boards and fill up level. This
kind of a walk can be made at cost
of four cents per square foot If you do
your own work and have gravel on
the farm. If all material has to be
bought and laborers are employed to
do the work it will cost from eight to
10 cents per foot. Cellar floors are
made in the same way, but If the bot
tom is dry two or three inches of sand
will be sufficient to lay the cement on.
For stable floors or driveways the &C.
ment should be five or six inches thick
to insure durable floor.
Gate posts are made by digging a
pit in the ground as large as wanted
for post, and then a box mould is
made, same size as post, and two feet
high. Fill in first with stone pounded
up about the size of mans fist, and
,hen make a mortar of three parts
sand and one part cement, about the
consistency of cream, and pour this
into the form. AS soon as this sets,
move mold up and fill again till the
post is of the desired height. When
dry give coat of cement all around.
This can be checked off into squares
to resemble square stone work.
Another use of cement is in making
water tanks for live stock. Make the
bottom just as you would walk
only have it heavier and on solid fOun-
ydation, also put in necessary pipes for
hlling and draining, so frost will not
lnJure. Next make form on this
foundation with boards the length and
width desired for the tank. Inside of
this set up another form 10 inches
smaller than the first at the bottom
