University of California Farmers In-
 StituteS

It is the intention of authorities of the University of California to have thirty five farmers institutes held in Southern California, including the counties of Kern and San Luis Obispo. These coun- ties have been added to the territory in charge of J. B. Neff of Anaheim, and all applications for farmers institutes should be addressed to him.
 This county will be entitled to at least four institutes, and applications should be sent in early so that arrangements can be made to hold the institutes at the most desirable time. MT. Neff requests that mention be made of the topics which it is desired to have discussed so that proper speakers may be engaged.
 The objects of farmers institutes are to promote agriculture and horticulture 1; to show where wear and tear can be diminished, labor saved, methods of cultivation and production improved and the general welfare of the tiller of the soil advanced.

which gradually becomes wider and shallower until at point a mile and half out It spreads out to be about half mile wide At this point they took the levels of the bottom of the stream and found 1t to be three feet higher than the bottom of the Alamo channel leading to Sharp's heading. This shows that the water wlll-flow to Sharp's heading as long as any Is coming. From this shallow point the water flows west towards New river for more than four miles when 1t reaches the steep CT country and cuts-it up into channels and gulches. From that point west to New river the country the water flows through Is badly cut to pieces. The water gathers together again however and passes over the overpour in New river near Packard station, six miles or more beyond Calexlco This over pour Is slowly cutting back, but is ten miles or more behind the ones above described From the distance yet to be cut out and the speed the channel seemed to be cutting back Mir. Van Horn felt certain there was no danger of the water supply being lnterferred with for at least thirty days and he felt little anxiety for sixty days. This of course in case nothing Is done to check the cutting out of the channels. With proper work he believes 1t can be kept from cutting out indefinitely. The lat est reports from the Colorado river are that they will have the water under control by the first day of October. In that case there is no danger of the wat CT supply of this Valley being cut off from the erosion of Alamo channel.

NstiOn,s StrsnOth to be OoabIsd


 Former Senator ]. M. Carey, of Wyoming, author of the Carey act, in a letter to Chairman Gwinn of the ex- ecutlve committee of the irrigation congress. has the following to say con- cernlng the work of the congress:
 "The National Irrigation congress, during the years of Its existence. has accomplished wonders. It has called together from year to year those most learned in the science of irrigation and practical irrigators. also men willing and anxious to learn. Among those who have come were men prominent In all branches of business and profess sional life
 "These congresses have educated the people on subject about which but little was known 10 years ago, out side of the states and territories includ- ed in the arid regions of the United States. One who has been alive to the subject has marked the rapid change in public sentiment with refer ence to this great question.
 That the next quarter of a century shall. through irrigation works, public and private. change the entire country west of the hundredth meridian and make places and homes for millions of people, is fact now conceded by all familiar with the subject. The results, I believe, will equal to the doubling of the strength of the nation.
 "l am safe in saying that the lrrlga- ton works now being constructed will cost fully hundred million of dollars. while the projects being contemplated and being investigated for early initia- ton will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
 "The irrigation congress has done Its full share of the good work, yet it has only commenced. Let those who shall institute the congresses always have in view the one question, How can trey best promote and forward the re- clamation of the arid regions of the United States2
 Boise is an ideal place for the con- gress. The rapid development of Ida hos agricultural interests, through irrl- gation works, is great object lesson. Seeing what Is being done will remove the last doubt on this great subject among those who shall be so fortunate as to attend the congress-"

Mir. Abbey, who was here last week Is the owaer of the only vineyard of Malaga grapes on the desert that Is Ih full bearing. He has one acre of vines three years old last spring. Last year was the first crop the vines bore and owing o the vines being only two years old and small the crop only amounted to one ton and a half. The grapes, however, netted Mr. Abbey ten cents a pound, making $500 for the crop. This year, however, the vines are In full bearing and the crop produced was sev- en tons of the very finest of grapes. These Mir. Abbey has already sold and shipped on a guarantee of l2 1-2 cents per pound net to him for the entire sev- en tons. This makes his crop of grapes from this one acre of Malaga vines bring him $l75ooo net. Mir. Abbey says the market for These grapes Is verygreat and that no doubt several hundred car loads of them could be sold each year. He has about twenty acres set out to younger vines of this variety and good many of the farmers
 
 at both Coachela and Thermal are go- Ing into Malaga grapes. These grapes as we'll as all kinds of grapes, do just as we'll in this Valley as they do in Coachella Valley or anywhere else and there is no reason why we should not embark in growing them and secure just as good returns as Mir. Abbey. The scarcity of the genuine Malaga vines will soon be overcome and while the fancy prices Mir. Abbey has recelv- ed may not keep up yet there can be no doubt that the production of early grapes for the eastern markets will be very profitable indeed. Nor is there any doubt of their growing to perfection in this Valley and rlpening just as early as anywhere in the State.

The Way to Make Hem. Mail,

One Of the achievements OF modern
poultry keeping Is that Of forcing a hen
to doff her old coat, and grow a new
one before the time when she would
do so naturally. Many hens shed their
feathers so late In tHe season, natural
ly, that cold weather overtakes them
before they get new suits, consequently
they seldom begin laying before spring.
II the mOult car be FASTENED SO that
a new coat Of feathers Is grown and
the laying can be started before cold
weather, the prospect is good for a
supply of eggs during fall and winter.
The result Is usually accomplished
by cutting off all meat and mash foods.
putting the hens on short rations of
grain for a week or so to stop the Law
Ing, then allow more liberty and feed a
full ration high In protein. This loosens
the old feathers, which drop off quickly
and starts a rapid growth of the new.
A liberal allowance Of beef scrap is
essential, and linseed meal IS an adyan.

Grading

The establishment of creameries has
done much to put the dairy business
on a stable and profitable basis, as well
as to provide consumers with a uni
form quality of good butter. The In
PRODUCTION OF the hand separator, by
enabling the farmer to feed skIm-milk
In prime condition and minimizing
transportation expense, has also done
much for the business. This has not
been without a drawback, however, In
that the separated cream Is not always
kept under proper conditions, and that
delivered to the creameries differs
greatly in quality. When all are paid
the same rate for butter fat there Is
no incentive to careful preservation of
the e At the experiment station,
Manhattan, Kan, a system of grading
cream was adopted about two years
ago, the prices paid varying with the
quality OF the cream. This has resulted
in great improvement in the cream de
livered and enables the butter maker
to do his part better. Bulletin No. 1875
Grading Cream" treats of this sub
Ject, and can be obtained by addressing
the station as above.

The cornstalk borer has infested va
rious parts Of the county for many
years, but has not done great damage
in most parts of the corn belt. 1t has
begun to appear in Iowa and Kansas In
the last two or three years.

caterpillar which bores into a stalk OF
young corn. When fully grown 1t bur
rows down into the tap-root, and in
the spring transforms to a pupa, from
which the adult soon energies and lays
its eggs on the young corn near the ak
lis.
The young larvae Matching from them

the pith. When fully grown they bore
outWards to the surface, making a hole,
from which the moth escapes and trans
forms to pupa in the burrow. This In
sect is two-brooded, the second brood
feeding on the old stalks, generally be-
tween the second joint and the ground,
and becoming full grown about harvest
