Better Grass For Pastures.

That "all flesh is grass may not be
literally true, but it is true that all
flesh profitable to it's producer is made
of grass, and that grass in it's most
profitable sense is the best flesh food
known. Not enough Importance is at
tached to grass on the farm, for too
many farmers grow the wrong kind
of grass and in the wrong place. They
seem to be contented to grow wild
grass in the corn field rather than
that kind of grass that contains WELL
balanced proportions of protein, car
bohydrates, fat, salts and water.

COLORADO HAS A SODA LAKE.
Remarkable Discovery Made In the
Heart of San Luis Valley.

Heart of San Luis Valley.
One of the most remarkable dis
coveries ever made in the region is
that of lake Of liquid soda In the in.
accessible desert between Crestone.
Col. and Hooper, in the San Luit
valley The lake is an acre and a quar-
ter in extent and lies at the bottom
of little basin valley in the desert
On it's surface soda crystals have
collected to depth of eighteen inches
the whole lake having the appearance
of a body of ice with a hard snow
covering.
A recent examination by the state
school of mines shows that these cry
stalls are 81 per cent pure soda, purel
than most Of the commercial soda
offered on the market A Denver man
f. M. Fake, has secured lease of the
land containing the lake and is now
installing machinery which will con
vert the native crystals into market
able form. There are 1000 tons il
sight.
The school of mines experts say
that the soda is a creation of field
spar. The granite masses of the Sangre
de Cristo range stand sentinel on
two sides of the little valley. The
feldspar in the granite, undergoing
decomposition, collects in the lake
basin, where it is held in check by an
impervious clay, and proper condi
tions are furnished for concentration
and evaporation.

J.J.E., Berwyn, writes: have been
reading a bulletin on the use OF cow
peas with corn and sorghum for siiage
purposes but do not find any state
ment as to whether or not the yield Ii
increased by growing the peas with
the other crops. would like some
Information along this line
Answer: After several attempts to
grow cowpeas with corn and sorghum
for si1age purposes, 1t IL my opinion
that the practice Is not likely to prove
very satisfactory. Corn or sorghum
must be planted In rows about four
feet apart with the stalks about eight
cen inches in the drill row to insure
a very large growth Of peas. In
favorable season a large growth OF
cowpeas may be obtained, but as a
rule this will not be the case. Thus,
the greater distance apart Of planting
necessitated to insure a good growth
of peas cuts down the yield Of corn or
sorghum, which for silage purposes
should be planted in rows three to
three and a half feet apart in the
drill row. Then, the cowpeas do not
often climb on the stalks as well as is
desirable. We have tried good many
varieties, and Of all Of them the Whip
porwill and Lady were the best, but
unless the plants get started properly.
many of them spread over the ground
and can be gathered by the corn har-
vester. OF course, hogs could be
turned on the field so they would not
be lost.
We have tried sowing the peas with
the corn and sorghum after the crop
had made considerable growth. 1t is
much better to seed the peas and corn
or sorghum together than to attempt
to plant later. The work can thus be
done at one operation and saving in
time and labor effected. 1t is a mis-
take to let the corn or sorghum get
the start Of the peas. for unless they
grow up vigorously in the beginning
the ranker growing crops shade them
SO that they do not grow we'll. In
several years experience the largest
percentage Of peas obtained in the corn
or sorghum crop intended for silage
was ten per cent. This was not
enough to have any appreciate eff
feet on the feeding value of the crop
and it little more than paid for the
seed and the extra labor involved in
planting. 1t would be much better, in
my judgment, to sow the cowpeas in
drills twenty-four inches apart and cut
and cure as hay and feed with the corn
or sorghum silage rather than attempt
to balance up the food by growing
them in the drill row unless some
means can be devised by which much
larger yield is obtained than follows
In the average year. Many persons
| will be inclined to doubt this state
ment, but they have never taken the
trouble to separate the peas and est
mate the relative percentage Of peas
in the crop. The peas climb vigorously
and spread over the corn and sorghum
plants very often until they almost
cover them up, and one is ready to
believe that there is very large per.
centage Of peas present, but actual
test has failed to demonstrate this to
be fact.-Knoxville Journal and
| Tribune.

Sow Peas.

Let farmers who have set aside
twelve to fifteen acres to the horse for
cotton, just figure little. In this Sec
ton it will cost five cents a pound to
make the cotton. Let these cotton
men take about four or five acres of
their cotton land, although prepared
and ready to plant, and SOW a bushel
of clay or Unknown peas to the acre.
If the land would make 700 pounds Of
seed cotton to the acre, it would make
ton and half of pea vineh hay. Ateight
cents pound the cotton and seed would
bring 5000. Pea vine hay sells from
the wagon at ninety cents a hundred.
The ton and half of hay would bring
$27 and the cost would not be half as
much as making the cotton crop. The
land would be ready for early seeding
to wheat or oats. That is the only
way to reduce the cotton acreage, so as
to make more profitable crop and i'm.
prove the land at the same time.
Then when forage, corn, wheat and
oats were abundant the fowls, hogs
and cattle would soon be added and
farmers would be able "to live at
home and board at the same place.

Growing Celery.


A Northern man who has come South
to live makes this report On raising OF
celery:
My method Of growing celery since
I have been in Virginia is as follows:
Sow seed in early spring when there is
plenty of. moisture in the ground, as it
takes the seed from three to six weeks
to come up. These are the dates 1
have sown since l have been in Vir-
ginia: February 6, 1902; March ID,
1903; April 1, 1904.
l sow in good, rich, mellow soil, and
it is a good plan to burn the ground
a few days before sowing, the same as
for a tobacco bed. When the young
plants come up, work very shallow to
kill all weed and grass and to keep
the young plants growing until time to
set in the field. For the young plants,
I select a piece of low, moist land,
plow we'll and deep, about six to nine
inches, and thoroughly work it over
six to twelve times, and then open my
rows from four to six feet apart, very
shallow. and set the plants from eight
to sixteen inches iE the row.
These are the dates l have set out
in the last three years: June 26 to July
4, 1902; June 20 to July 6, 1903; July
I, 1904. If one chooses, a row of snap
beans may be planted between the
celery rows.
work just as would any other crop
by running the fine-tOoth cultivator
through the rows once q week to retain
moisture, but do not expect much
growth until the cool nights set in.
Just as soon as the celery commences
to grow rapidly, l bring the dirt to it,
about August %. take the celery out
of the field about November 10, and
use one of my old frames. 1 throw
the dirt all out and then pack my Gel
cry as close as l can get it by putting
a little dirt on the root. When this is
done, I get pine straw or some fine
hay and cover it entirely up, and then
put the glass over it and stretch q
sheet over the glass to keep the sun
and light from it.
I leave it this way about two weeks
until it is thoroughly bleached. Then
it is ready to SELL If the weather should
get too cold and threaten frost, it is
good plan to put fresh manure over
the glass. 1 have grown white plume
ever since I came here that measured
over two feet.-Rice Journal.

Arrangements are now being made
for the removal of the reclamation
headquarters from this city to Port
land, and the same will probably be
done by the 18th or goth of this
month" said John T. Whistler this
morning.
According to Mr.. Whistler, orders
to the above effect have been given
by Mr.. Henny, the supervising engi-
neer of the northwest, and the same
will be carried out. Consequently
1t would seem that Pendleton is to
lose the office which has been main
tained here for the past three years,
unless effective work can be done to
prevent the same. AS to whether or
not Chief Engineer Newell has given
his formal approval of the change,
Mr.. Whistler could not say.
Since the announcement was made
a short time since that the headquar-
tiers would probably be removed from
this place to the "Webfoot" metrop-
oils, considerable indignation has
been aroused among those who are
interested in Irritation matters. All
are unanimous in tha opinion that
the change Is an improper one frou
every standpoint. While it is stateo
that the change Is to be made in the
interest Of ECONOMY, this is regaydsd
as far-fetched in view of the fact that
the engineers will all have to ride
hundreds of miles from Portland in
order TO reach the arid sections, thus
causing extra expense for transporta.
ton and great loss of time on the
road. Also. 1t is held that this place
Is much more convenient for the
Washington projects, since all OF
them are east of the Cascades. BY
reason of the good railroad connec'
tions which Pendleton has with east
erp and central Washington. men ol
mail could be sent from Pendletor
to the projects in that state much
quicker than could possibly be done
from Portland.

Others who have been sen have ex-

if the officials in charge persist in
making the change the service will
be lowered in the opinion of the peo-
pie who are interested in reclama-

less confidence in the men who are
intrusted with the work in this Sec
