Use Natures Pumps.

Watering an orchard is a much lar
ger operation than the average orchard
list cares to undertake, unless one has a
system Of piping attached to an ade-
quate water source. And yet, we may
water the trees, either old or young,
or the vegetables, by means of count
less little invisible pumps that we may
put in operation with the plow and the
harrow.
There Is always moisture in the
earth, and far beneath the surface it
is full of water and this water has a
tendency to rise to the surface all the
time and to dampen things at the top.
But, when there is a drought, and tue
surface becomes baked and hard, the
rising process is greatly retarded If
not entirely suspended, and then it is
that vegetation and trees suffer-tha
many little pumps are clogged and fail
to work, for there is nothing to climb
and nothing to invite the expansion Of
the water from below, up near the sur
face.
But, If we are timely and apply the
pillow, and can turn and loosen the earth
on top, and will then occasionally pass
the harrow through 1t, we may keep
all the air and water cells open In the
top soil, and the moisture will then
come up again.

The College Bred Farmer.

Prof. L. H. Bailey, director of the Cor
nell university college of agriculture, in
the third of his series of articles for The
Century, gives the result of his inquiry
among his students as to what practical
use they expected to put their education.
OF the 179 replies received seventy-eight
were those of students reared on the farm.
OF these, sixty-eight desired to go into
practical farming and then to teaching
and experimental work. OF the sixty-nine
students reared in town or city, forty
four wish to go into practical farming,
fourteen into teaching, eight into land
scape gardening and the rest undecided.
Of the fourteen women students. two
want to become practical farmers and
twelve teachers of nature study and agri-
culture. OF the eighteen foreign students,
fifteen wish to return to the farm and
three to enter experimental work. Prof.
Bailey says that the agricultural college
is now teaching from the farm rather than
from the academic point OF view.

How a kansnn Cure. AlfaIfa.

An interesting method OF curing al
falfa hay is that used by Hon. j. W.
Berry Of jewell, Kan. According to
tural college, Mr.. Berrys' plan is to
cut alfalfa as soon as the dew is off
in the morning, rake it green and haul
1t in the same day that it is cut, the
only precaution being that there be no
moisture on the hay other than that
contained in the green stems and leaves.
He stores the hay In large corncribs,
the bottoms Of which are elevated sew
eral feet above the ground with more
or less open spaces, and the sides Of
the crib are also open. The cribs are
large enough to store a single cutting
of alfalfa from eleven acres Of ground
and only cover the bottom Of the cribs
to depth Of or feet The hay is
spread over the whole crib bottom In
an even layer and. not tramped, but left
light and loose as 1t is thrown in. The
second cutting Of alfalfa Is placed
above the first, and the third above the

For three seasons now Mr.. Berry has

shoe. stop Cow. Jumping.

Put horseshoe on cows front foot,
advises Maine man, who says that
this Is sure cure, as no COW can
jump unless she can spread the hoofs
in jumping. Others have prevented
this bad habit by simply giving COW an
extra feed Of hay just before turning
out of barn, as very few COWS Will jump
or tear down fence If perfectly con-
tented; they are simply looking for
more to eat. Possibly they have asked
for more food, but often we are too
dumb or careless to understand them.
A sure cure for tearing fences is take
sharp awl, punch a small hole
through nose and insert ring. Then
bore small hole In each horn, take piece
of small wire; make fast to ring on
one side; run through both horns, and
secure wire to other side. Thus the
COW can eat all right, but cannot use
her horns. Don't dishorn a good COW.
Her horns are there for wise pur-
pose, and l believe it is a sin to dis
horn full-grown COW, better stop the
horn when a week old.
