Older Than the Chinese.

Older even than China, the oldest
existing nation. are the cliff dwellings
Of southwestern United States, homes
of race whose very name has per-
ished from the earth. Explorers, puz-
zling through the Mancos and Casa
Verde canyons of Arizona and New
Mexico, have found the houses of this
strange people in the widest and most
inaccessible of the mountain sides
Did the cliff dwellers antedate the
pyramids of Egypt? Were they of
blood relation to the early inhabitants
Of the land where the Nile is god3
Some students are prepared to answer
both questions affirmativeIy and 70
give what is to them abundant proof
The pottery from their long-wrecked
homes suggests Egypt, and the few
inscriptions found have similar sug-
gestons. Mumnies, bodies wrapped
in cloth, feathers from the breast of
the turkey have been dug from burial
places among the cliffs, and, in bone
and hair much unlike the Indian of to
day, there is hint of resemblance to
more oriental type. If the cliff
dwellers left any descendants, how
ever remote, they are doubtless the
Moki and Zuni Indians, who, resem-
bling them in habits and appearance
are their closest kinsmen.

Crops for Orchards.

There are those who do well with
some small crop in the orchard. In
last seasons experiments no difference
could be seen between the summer Gull
tivation plan and the plan of growing
crop; that is, no difference in the tree
growth. The best results for both
trees and crops between came from
growing two rows of potatoes set far
enough apart so that they could be cul-
tivated on both sides. This brought
the light cultivator close to the trees
on the outside rows and enabled us to
set the teeth deeper for the inside rows
when it was necessary for the benefit
of the potato crop. The soil was fer
tilted for the potatoes and quite heav-
lily, so that a portion, at least, was
left in the soil for the benefit of the
trees. By planting early sorts we were
able still to get in our cover crop for
the benefit Of the orchard this cover
crop being plowed under the spring to
add humus to the soil. BY following
this process the best results may be
obtained, and the orchard will rean
the benefits

Getting a Potato cron-

In response to the query how to get

plies: use plenty of good commercial
fertilizer and you will have no trou-
BILE" Very definite, is it not? The
writer thought IT a good plan to put
this same question to an expert potato
grower, and the following is the SUBJ
stance of his reply:
''In general way, one can get a
good crop Of potatoes in normal seq
son II the soil used is well filed with
humus and is mellow and friable. The
seed must be f1rst-class and be proper-
ly and thoroughly treated with forma-
lin for scab before being planted. OF
course, the soil must be well fertilized.
but more than ALL the cultivation and
care of elephants is essential. The
soil must be cultivated and the sprayer
kept busy. Then, If nothing happens
you'll have a good crop" While per
haps this reply is not wholly satisfac-
tory, 1t at least gives one some idea of
what is necessary in the way of ma
terial and labor.

Good Poultry Breed.


We believe that some of the troubles
OF raisers Of the White Wyandotte
come from improper feeding. While
the breed is supposed to be tough and
hardy there is a weakness in them
somewhere which demands careful
feeding. In an experience of ten years
with the breed, we have found they
must be uniformly fed at the same
hours daily, and that their food must
be of the best quality and In consider
able variety.
Handled in this manner they will
give satisfactory results and produce
eggs in about the same numbers dur
ing the year as the Plymouth Rocks,
but, with us at least, they do not equal
the Leghorns in this respect On the
other hand there is considerable to the
carcass and they are readily fattened
for market when desired. In the hand
Of some poultry men they are very sat

Homemade stump Pu11er.

the hosting rope until the supporting
loop of the track is above the hook;
then little side movement will move
it upon the hook. In lowering the
track, elevate to clear the point of

Raising and lowering the track is

At seed-Buyinp Time

1t Is estimated that If the corn crop
OF the country could be increase j 10
per cent 1t would add to the production
OF wealth in the United States over
seventy millions Of dollars. That the
corn crop can be increased this small
per cent Is well known, for it requires
only the selection of the best seed and
the best methods of cultivation to do

grown and the crop is usually large

nels left in the crib for seed. So the
average farmer argues, "why should 1
pay out good money for seed corn
when there is more than need in nv
own crib" He forgets that the seed
corn In his cribs may be the kernels
dropped from nubbins and If SO they
will produce nubbins.
The tendency to pay out as little as
possible for seeds is wrong. 1t is safe
to say that in a normal season one
would make more clean cash from
crops grown from the best seed sold
regardless of price than from double
the quantity Of what may be called
cheap seeds. If you don't believe in
the value of the best seeds, test them
In a small way. Take, for example,
few seed tubers from the potato pile
in the cellar, then buy from some repu.

the same variety, cut the seed in tho
same way, plant at the same time and
give the same care and cultivation. AT
harvest time compare results and If
you do not find the argument in favor
OF high-class seed solid one We'll take
it all back.
