Suh-Soilin0 for OrCha rde.

Fruit trees, and particularly apples,
REQUIRE a deep soil and. Of course, one
that Is fairly rich. There are hum
dreds Of acres of rich clay soils that
would do splendidly for apples If prop
erly prepared. Trials which have re-
suited in failures have been almost
wholly due to the fact that the soil
had not been opened deep enough to
permit the roots of the trees properly
to penetrate it.
If such soil, had been subsoiled,
using the implement made for that
purpose which does not throw back Il
wide furrow. the roots would have a
chance to get into the soil several
inches deeper than otherwise. and
nfter that would be strong enough to
pierce the soil below without Its being
losened. OF course it must be remem-
bered that If the soil below the dis
lance penetrated by the subsoiler is
wet and remains so. it is not suited
t(. tree roots. On the other hand. II
It is simply wet enough to retain a
good amount Of moisture. the trees
will then make most desirable
growth.

The secretary Of Interior recently let
the contracts for the largest Irrigation
reservoir dam in the world.
1t Is to be called the Roosevelt dam.
Near it Is Il new town, also called
Roosevelt. Both are situated in Ari-
IONA, about seventy miles above Phoe-
nix, on the Salt River, near its junction
with Tonic Creek.
The dam Is the main feature OF one
of the largest OF the government irri-
ga ton projects. 1t is located in u can
yon Of the Salt River, Just below its
junction with the small tributary
above named. 1t will be 30 feet high,
2l0 feet long. 165 feet thick at the
base, and Ii feet wide on top.
This dam will create lake twenty
five miles long and between a mile and
II half aud two miles in width-the
largest artificial reservoir in the world.
1t will be constructed Of "brOken range
cyclOpean rubble" and Portland &C.
ment. The stone of which 1t will be
built will be quarried from the walls
on each side Of the canyon. 1t is con

Electricity for night work will be
furnished free by the government. The

temporarily harnessed to an electric
power plant. which develops AGO
horsepower. by means OF turbine,
under head OF 90 feet fall The
power thus developed runs cement
mill and does all the hOisting, drilling,
digging, etc. for the construction Of
the dam.
The cement mill Is located about
1000 feet from the dam site. and has
been equipped with all the most mod
ern machinery for making Portland ce-

within a mile from the mill, and one
corner of the mill stands Oh a bed Of

Al IItOituIlI.

Thomas r. Somprs loves to tell OF
his early experiences as drummer.
One night he had to stay over In very
small town In the far South: he con-
fided to the woman who ran the hotel
that he was very fond Of buttermilk.
At supper she brought in huge Jar Of
il. sat It on the table in front OF him
and said "Go ahead and drink all

upon the curing. Bright green corn
fodder, shredded or cut fine, is superior
to improperly cured hay, while good
hay is far superior to corn fodder that
was not cut until the leaves turned
yellow.
If fodder Is tender and juicy the
animals will prefer the stalks to tho
leaves. as the stalks are rich in sugar.
but much depends upon the stage OF
growth at which the stalks were har'
vested. Farm Visitor.

Place self-feeding box Of grain In
the coop so the chicks can eat what
they want There is little danger of
overlooking growing stock on free
range.
If hens on free range are given a
small feed of fresh-cut bone once a
day, or Il box of beef scraps and granu-
lated bone is placed i'm the henhouse,
they will produce more eggs.
Keep the brooders and colony houses
clean and look out for red mites and
lice OH the chicks. Incubator chicks
are Matched free from lice, but it does
not take long to contract them.
Set turkey hens this month and jf
you have plenty of eggs. fill the incu-
bator. Arrange so the hens and incu-
bator will hatch at the same time, then
you can give all the potts to the turkey
hen.
Plant sunflOwers outside the wire of
the poultry yard and in and by waste
places. They will afford shade during
the summer and the hens will relish the
seed. If planted inside the yard they
must be protected until out of reach

When Lambs Need Dipping,

II mature sheep are troubled with
ticks and lambs run with the flock
most Of the ticks in two or three weeks
after shearing will have left the old
sheep to live upon the tender skin and
amid the longer wool OF the lambs. 1t
Is therefore evident that money will
be saved by dipping the lambs. In
badly infected cases second dipping
will prove advantageous unless the old
sheep were dipped at the first applica-
ton. Ticks multiply very rapidly, and
even II a few escape death their pro-
geny will cause the whole flock untold

Water for Swine.

There are farmers who raise swine
and never feel it necessary to give
them water to drink. They argue that
as the slop is composed largely of
water that is all that Is necessary.
1t probably is. in many cases. where
the slop consists of one part solids and
nine parts water. but If the slop is
nutritious, as 1t should be, and If corn
IS fed in addition. the swine need con-
siderable water. Men OF experience
claim that swine carefully watered are
rarely diseased. and they have little
difficulty in preventing them from max
ing wallOws. AS matter OF fact.
about half Of the nastiness Of the hog
is due to the carelessness Of it's owner.
Give the hog half chance and he or
she will be reasonably clean. Try the
trough Of cold, clean water at feeding
time and see for yourself what the
swine think Of It,

Breeding POlled Calves.


Breeding PoIled Calves.
Answering the query, Are double
standard Polled Durham bulls as sure
to get polled calves from horned cows
as are Angus bulls!" +. $. Hines says
in Breeders Gazette:
Without knowledge as to the per-
centage Of polled calves got by Angus
bulls used on horned cows it would
naturally seem that the Angus bulls
would be the surer dehOrners. as they
have been bred hornlcss for many gen
erations, while Polled Durhams are
not many removes from horns. How
ever. there are many Polled Durham
bulls that have made excellent records
as dehorners, some having as high as
80 per cent Of pollcd calves from horn
ed cows
If your correspondent wishes to
breed polled calves his best course
would be to buy an aged Polled Dur
ham bull with a good record as a de-
hOrncr. There is Il great deal of the
horns" just as there is in breeding in
general. and some bulls with many
polled crosses are not as sure dehorn-
ers as those with only one cross of
polled blood. Therefore l should ad-
wise your correspondent not to try
young bull. but to get one that Is
known by his works.

retary Taft told the people that WI
liam ] Bryan would become the sue
cessful leader Of the democratic party
and menace to the prosperity Of the
country unless something shcud be
accom- plishec by President E loss v5lo. F."
This is not only a significant statement
but it Is q compliment So the Nsbras'
ka democrat, and, reading between
the lines Of the utterarce, the fact
stands out that the something
President Roosevelt must do to pre-
ysnt democratic success in the nation
is t o carry out the reforms for which
Bryan stands and which have gi:en
birth to the term Organism. All OF
this goes to sho y that TAFT nas z level
