AIkaIi Soil Problem.

ITO answer this query the bureau
OF plant industry is endeavOring 20
secure crops suitable for cultivation
I'm alkali soils. Other parts of the
world. where the alkaH problem is
a serious one, are being explored
with a view to importing such OF
their useful plants as endure large
amount of these harmful salts. AS a
result. seed of resistant alfalfa has
been obtained from Algeria and Tur-
kestan. cotton from Egypt for trial
in the warmer parts of the southwest,
and promising varieties of wheat and
barley from various countries Of the
Old World. Resistant fruit trees,
such as the date palm and the pist-
ache have also been imported
1T is not proposed merely to dis
tribute these things as they are re-
ceived by the department. Plant
breeding methods are being resOrted
to in order to fix and. If possible. by
careful selection increase their allIaH
resistant qualities. Small tracts Of
alkaH land are being planted with
the imported seed. and from the best
individuals that survive seed is TAX
en- for continuing the experiment,
Similar breeding and selection work
is in progress to secure greater alkaH
resistance in our native crops. as su-
gar beet, alfalfa, etc. In this way we
expect to breed in few years aISali-
resistant strains Of some of the most
important field crops grown in the
semi-arid parts Of the west.
In the United States alfalfa does
not generally stand more than one
half per cent Of white alkali' i'm the
upper six feet of soil In the cases
Of the Sahara desert a kind has been
found which thTives i'm soil containing
as much as 1 per cent Of these salts
in the surface foot. If this alfalfa
can be adapted to American COndi-
tiOns and retains here it's high degree
Of resistance. a large per cent Of the
entire 100000 acres of alkaI land al
ready mentioned could be put into
this crop. In the great increase in
irrigated area which is bound to Ocme
in the near future this work will be-
come still greater in Importance,

suits SO far secured seem to point to

claiming these lands.
Lessons Of the Drouth.
''The great drouth of 1901 led to
the beginning of experiments in irri-
cation I'm Missouri by the agricul-
tural department. The experiments
were begun too late in the summer
of 1901 TO affect the crops of that
year, but the crops irrigated I'm the
late summer of 1901 showed the re-
suits of the use Of water on the crop
of the next season. The most no.
ticeable results were in strawberries.
Several varieties were irrigated late
in 1901 so that the plants made a
large growth in the fan Of that year.
The spring of 1902 was so wet that
irrigation was unnecessary, but the
plants irrigated the year before gave
yields varying from 151 per cent 10
S74 per cent above the yields OF
the same varieties which were not

were not irrigated. the value of the

Missouri have clearly demonstrated
the value Of irrigation as an insur-
aEce against drOuth in the humid

1t is estimated that about COO. 900
acres of land at present under irri-
cation in the western United States
is lying idle solely because il con-
tains too much alkaH to permit pay
ing crops being produced. Whenever
practicable. it is advisable to reclaim
land of this character by washing

irrigated in the future the establish

ton is, can anything else be done

Chicks Killed by Heat.

A great many chicks die from be-
ing kept too warm during the night
in brooders. They get SO warm they
fairly steam, and when let out in the
morning they get chilled, and this
brings on bowel troubles. We are
certain this is true from several ex-
periences of our own and this agrees
with what others say. On the other
hand, brooder can be kept too cool.
We believe very few take into ac-
count the temperature of chicks
blood. A bunch of chicks can keep
comfortable where man would feel
cold. When the chicks spread out on
the floor of the brooder to sleep they
are in temperature that is just suit
ed to them. If too cold they bunch
up and if too warm they are restless.

He Stood on His Dignity.

A wealthy New York broker who
has country home on Long Island is
SO fond Of flowers that be frequently
spends some time in and about his
plants, sometimes doing little gar
dening himself. A few days ago he
thought he would water some plants,
so be called to his new coachman, who
was standing near watering can, and
told him to fill it and bril- G 1t 20 him.
beg pardon, sir, I'm the coachmap.
said the English Importation, touching
bis hat.
"Well, that's all right; bring that
can here"
''Beg pardon, sir, I'm the coachman. F"
"Well, well. know that. Bring the
can here. 1 want it,"
The coachmdn touched his hat and
still made the same reply. Then some
thing dawned on the broker.
"Oh," be said, $50 you're the coach
man and can't bring the can. Well,
coachman go and have the black team
hitched to the family carriage and
bring it here Have one of the hos.
tiers ride on the box with you."
The coaUhman touched his head again
respectfully and went. Presently be
drove up in style.
Now said the broker. "drive to
where that can IS, and you, hostler.
pick it up, get back Oh the box, drive
around to the stable with the coach
man, fill it with water and have him
drive you back again.'
1t was done and the can brought
filled.
| "Now, hostler," said the broker
"you may go. Coachman. you remain
where you are. l may need you again
Don't drive away until 1 give you
leave"
| The coaciman saved his dignity, but
he sat on the seat of that coach for two
Ihours after the broker had finished
watering the flowers.

The seaectyion of Breeds.

One of the first things a beginner
desires to know is which is the best
breed for him to handle. 1t would
appear to him that this ought to be
an easy question to answer, and yet
it is one that can hardly be answered
by even the veteran breeder. 1t is
no nearer solution now than it was
score of years ago. 1t probably
never will be answered satisfactor-
lily to all breeders. 1t is very read
lily seen that the breed that would
be best for one person or one local,
ity would be wholly unsuited for an
other. For this reason, the person
the environments, the climate and
the market conditions must be fac
tors in determining which is the best
breed d-Commercial Poultry.

RAISE GOOD TURKEYS.
Quality Controls the Market to q
Greater Extent Than Most POul-
trymen Suppose.

But few have any conception of
the number of fowls consumed in
a large city during Thanksgiving and
Christmas weeks. For Thanksgiv-
ing week there were sold in New
York city over 325,OOO turkeys. In
former years there has been sold
a fourth more than this, and as
many as 425,OOO have been sold in
one week, according to the New
York Herald. This season turkeys
have been scarce, not well finished
and high in price. This is the ex-
planation for the falling off in sales.
Last year turkeys sold at from four
to five cents per pound lower in
price than this year. The same is
true of chickens, ducks and geese,
and even guinea fowls sell higher
than ever before. All this should
prove of advantage to the grower.
The day has about gone by for low
prices for poultry and eggs. All that
is needed now is for US to have
good quality in our poultry and eggs
for market, and they will sell well.
Now is the time to begin to plan
for living better than ever before.
Pull away from old-time methods of
poor quality market poultry and
work to have the very best. For
example, turkeys sold in the New
York market all the way from 16
cents per pound to % and 80 cents
per pound. Now, it did not cost one
more cent per pound to grow the
higher priced ones than the cheaper
ones. 1t is simply question of care
and feeding. Those who feed prop
erly and well have the finer quality
and the greater size or weight, while
those who do not feed properly and
well have the lesser weight and the
lower price. Quality controls the
market to a greater extent than is
generally supposed.
1t is all very well to allow the
growing turkeys to hunt for bugs
and grasshoppers so long as they are
plentiful, but so soon as this kind of
food dwindles we must supply its
place with other food as good. for
two reasons-to give them a full
food supply and to prevent them
from walking the flesh from their
bodies going about in an aimless
way in search of food they will not
find. Just as soon as the cool or
cold nights begin to lessen the sup
ply of wild food of all kinds then
we must feed the stronger. Always
see to it that they have all the good.
wholesome food they will eat at al
times. That is the way to grow
turkeys. If there are not plenty of
bugs, worms, grasshoppers, berries
and nuts for them, give them all the
corn they will eat every night and
also a good, strong feed of it in the
morning.

NEW PRIMARY LAW.
A Measure Of Importance Introduced by
Mr. KeezeII.

A measure of great political import
ance to the people of Virginia was in
troduced in the Senate before recess
by Senator Geo. B. Keezell, of Rock
ingham. 1t was presented as a substi-
tute for the Barksdale bill, and 1t is
predicted that it will pass when the
General Assembly re-convenes in Nov
ember. Mr.. Keezell simply asked that
it be printed for the information of
members during the legislative recess.
Tie provisions of the bill are in part
as follows:
1. The cities and countries are to pay
for the primaries held within their
borders, the election to be conducted
under the State laws regulating cleo
tions
2. In the nomination of county Of
ficers the primary is to say who are the
candidates.
8. For members of congress the bill
provides that primaries are to be held
in all the countries and cities of each
district at the same time The candi
date receiving the highest number of
votes is to have all the delegates. The
delegates are to attend district con
vention and are to vote as directed by
the voters of each county.
For State offices the primary is to
be held all over the State at the same
time, the counties and cities to vote
for the delegates and the candidates
direct The delegates are to assemble
in State convention and are to vote
according to the instructions of the
people whom they represent.
In all cases the counties and cities
are to vote as a unit. thereby making
it impossible for a candidate who re
ceives minority vote in the state to be
nominated for any office. Thus a
candidate for governor on one ticket
may be nominated, whilea lieutenant
governor on another ticket might be
nominated. The same rule would ap
ply to the State treasurer and all other
State offers to be chosen.
While the State will have primary
plan, it will at the same time retain
the feature of the old convention, by
having the leaders all assemble at
some point in the State at various
times for the exchange of ideas.
The belief is general that the bill
will become a law, as the two gentle-I
men interested are said to represent
the so called factions in the State. The
people will have a primary election
law for the selection of candidates, and
the candidates will not be called upon
to pay the expenses of the election.
This has always been serious draw
back to the primary idea, and is be-
lieved to be solution of the matter
to all classes of people.
The fact that elections are to be
few and far between under the new
constitution will minimize the cost of
primaries. as it will be necessary to
have not more than one each year, the
general election following the prima-
ries being tame affairs.
