Care Of Umbrellas.

1t is at the joints that umbrellas
break first, and it is scarcely surpris-
ing, for they are never oiled, and yet
are expected to work smoothly and
respond easily to the most sudden act
Of opening.
Most people after using an umbrel-
la on wet day. even il they do care
fully dry 1t, regard any further proc
ess as needless: but there are other
means Of frightening their term of
usefulness.
To preserve an umbrella and obtain
the best possible use out of 1t. the
joints should be carefully oiled with
parafin or kerosene oil, to clean on
any possible rust, just as In the case
of a bicycle, and then be touched
with lubricating oil to make them
work easily Thus cared for. the
framework will last In excellent order
with ordinary use almost indefinitely.

go and drink calmly from the public

Simple Advice Which May Prove Of
Untold Value.

At the first sign of Backache or pain
in the region Of the Kidneys, or weak
ness and Urinary trouble, the follow
ing simple prescription should be
used:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Any good prescription pharmacy
will supply these three ingredients at
small cost, which can easily be mixed
by shaking well in bottle. This is
said to force the Kidneys to filter the

Among the jewelry establishments
OF this city, none command a better
class of patronage than the old re-
liable house of Z. F. Amussen, estab-
lished in 1902. That the business is
of such long standing, speaks more
than words for the high reputation
borne by it for honesty and fairness in
business dealings. Possessing the
trust of its patrons, the concern has
grown steadily from year to year and
now has a clientage second to none.
This finely equipped store is situated
at 70 Main street and is under the
management Of E. F. Amussen, a man
possessed of the artistic spirit in a
high degree and who is consequently
eminently fitted for the position
through his ability to comprehend the
wants of his patrons and execute their
orders to their complete satisfaction.
The large trade of this establishment
permits of the purchasing of new
goods in large quantities and in grea,
variety. The stock includes jewelry
Of all descriptions in artistic designs,
precious stones, mounted and I'M

verware, cut glass, bric-a-brac, etc.

of their work is to model all kinds OF

Anderson and Carlson did the orna-

He came 10 America at the ag" of

In the year 1868 he established him

Taylor has built up an establishment
not only unique and complete in every
partit ular, but equal III every respect
and superior in many respects to any
other enterprise of a similar nature on
the western slope.
During the forty years of his career

this branch Of the business a jobbing

$500 and $500. Dry farming
in Colorado is carried on i'll
a systematic manner. The
farmers have organized their
lands into districts.
Four or five districts are
united and together they
study conditions and draw up
maps and lay plans. Inspcc-
tors look over the lands, make
tests and give authentic re-
ports as to what crop is best
for the coming year. A drying
station is kept up by the dis
tricts and each farmer pays
for the maintenance of this
station in proportion to the
amount of work he has done.
They have a modern system
of planting and caring for
the crops, and therefore the
success. The lands are adj
apted to various kinds of
fruits. Peach and pear trees

ways to its proper size. The stools
are on the average very large, as
many as us stems being often found
in one cluster. Turkish red wheat
brings about As cents per 100 pounds
more thar other wheat.
Between Levan and Nephi, on what
is known as THE Ridge" there are
10000 acres of land susceptible to dry
farming. There are 5000 acres under
cultivation and the yield is twenty
five bushels of wheat to the acre,
The Russian variety OF wheat is used
here, but it is not so good as in the
Turkish red species. The crops are
planted biennially and thus the
strength of the land is reserved.
Wheat is known to sap up the nour-
ishment of the ground very rapidly,
and the biennial plan is maintained to
assure the ground its fertility. In
many parts of the country, as in New
York, for instance, land has been
wheatcd out.
There are no injurious insects here
to modest the crops and conditions are
favorable to a large acreage of wheat
in all parts of the state where dry
farming is possible.
The department of agriculture of
the Agricultural college is expert
menting with dry land alfalfa and
COOL results are being obtained.
Broom grass for pasturage has been
experimental with near Camp Floyd.
1t has been successful both in the low
lands and uplands. There are a great
number of steam ploughs being used
in dry farming, especially in Cache
county.
The conditions in Utah are very
favorable to dry farming, but the
cducation in farming has been and is
being neglected. Turkish red wheat
helped make Kansas, and if the far
mers Of Utah would but substitute
that variety for the Russian, its fut-
ure prominence as a wheat-growing
state would be assured.

Districts Under Irrigation.

There are at present fewer than
100000 acres under irrigation. Land
which is now useless can be made
valuable. There are several enter
prise5 which are doing good work
in the inducement Of dry farming, but
undoubtedly the leading one Of the
number is the Agricultural college
of Utah. There is no reason to be-
lieve that there is a place in the coun-
try that could get the results i'll dry
farming that Utah would under pro-
per conditions.
Fruit farming is just as possible on
the dry lands as is wheat farming.
In Colorado similar places and con-
ditions as are found in Utah, under
proper care, are selling for $500 an
acre. Fruit farms on the same kind
of land with the same kind of climate
and a more regular rainfall sell for
