We have several more inquiries as to
alfalfa-wben to SOW, how much seed,
etc. We will only say now that August
is the best time to sow alfalfa, and
Just prior to the proper seeding time we
will give detailed article covering all
points. Should it be given now, In May,
it would be all forgotten by August.

There has been enough loose and run
away water rampaging around in the
desert sections Of Arizona and New
Mexico of late to raise u pile of crops
if it was only properly controlled.
Where the flood and the desert meet,
there is the chance for man to do some
of his best work. Not drop of water
should be allowed to so to waste In
that country.

There are lot of drainage dogs In
the manger all over the large area In
the northwest, where 1t is sought to re-
claim and improve lands by extensive
systems of drainage. Drainage propo
sitions involving large sums of money
and promising immense benefits to
many landowners are held up by the
selflshness and mulishness of few
men who are able to use the law of
the land for this purpose. Men whose
land will be advanced in value from
$50 to $40 per acre are fighting drain
age schemes because they will be tax
ed from So to 81 per acre to carry such
scheme out.

There is quite little agitation In
progress over the question of introduc-
Ing agriculture as one Of the studies to
be taught in our country schools. We
do not think any formal attempt to
teach this branch In the schools would
be success. The pupils are burdened
with multiplication of studies as 1t Is.
The average country schoolteacher
could not qualify herself to teach this
study. profitably. still, we do most
heartily favor the taking up as a rec
reation, for such II will become, some
practical work in this line-thc grow
ing of plant, tree and flower by the pu'
pills and the study by them of the habits
of such things.

One man says that the cucumber
beetle-the little yell5w striped fellow
can be got rid of by selecting ground
for planting removed from where Gu
cumbers had been grown the previous
year. He is badly off in this. Two
years ago we planted melons, cucum-
bers and squashes mile away from
any garden, right In newly cleared
timber lot, and squads of these beetles
sat around for a week waiting for the
stuff to peep through the ground; never
saw so many of them at any place as
there were there Easiest way to head
them off is to make small frame and
tack over tine top piece of cloth or
mosquito netting.

The semiannual fight between the
sun and the frost is over, the sun al
ways winning out In the spring and
the frost In the fall 1t is interesting
to watch how reluctant each is TO give
Up its domination of the earth Little
by little in the spring the sun creeps
up and l0osens the hold of the frost,
while bits of green In sheltered hooks,
few frost proof flowers and some
precoclous fruit blooms are tempted
out. the frost getting several parting
digs at them. but gradually loosenlng
Its hold and power until by early May
1t withdraws TO the far north and the
sun reigns supreme. In the fall the
process is reversed, and the rule of the
sun Is assaulted, lightly at first, but as
1t sinks lower and lower to the south
the frost becomes more and more ag-
gresslvo until the king Of the cold
rules unchallepged.

We have several Inquiries how to get
rid Of moles and ants in lawns. These
nre both serious pests and often great
" injure the lawn. While we have
never been obliged to try the plan, 1t
Is claimed that little gasoline squirt
ed into the embryo ant hill will dis
perse the colony Mt once. AS for moles,
there are but two ways to head them
off. One Is to use the regular mole
trap; the other to watch for them when
they are engaged In burrowing, their
work being easily traced by the gradual
upheaval of the sod over their burrow
When thus found II is easy to kill then
by showing a sharp spade across the
runway just behind them and then dig
them out. AS they do most of theii
burrowing during the night, 1t Is moi
always easy to catch them at work.

TWO wars OUT.


We are in receipt of letter from
man who lives OH western prairie
farm. In way he Is supposed to own
II, 100 acres of good land, but really
he has only an equity in 1t, being, as
he says, so heavily In debt ON the
farm that he feels sure he can never
pay out. He inquiries what he had bet
ter do, for there is not much pleasure
for him in living and carrying suck
burden of debt. He wishes to knom
lust where he can go with what money
he can realize OH his equity and get
some cheap land. There are not few
men situated just as is our corre-
spondent, and so we answer his ques-
tions at some length. We are not at
all sure, but the very best thing he
can do is to just sell half his present
farm, pay up and be content to work
an eighty. There is much to commend
this plan. He can make just as much
clear money each year from eighty
acres by applying better methods OF
farming as from his 100 acres farmed
the old way; then he can retain and
enjoy the fruit of his past years of
toll In keeping the old homestead with
It's nice orchard, its grove Of $500 ever
green trees, which he writes he has
planted; then he can keep all his old
neighbors and friends, no small matter,
and he will be saved all the inevitable
hardship and toll both for himself and
his family incident to building up q
new home in any locality where land
is cheap. But If he thinks he must
have just so many acres to work re-
gardless of conditions he can find
cheap land. Those sections where arid
lands are being brought under systems
of irrigation-and there are many such
places-offer great inducements; ther
