Eden Ditch Project Looks Good.

The big Eden canal enterprise, upon
which w. S. Walker and w. Con
Black have spent SO much energy,
time and money. and which means
so much for the future of Aztec is
awaiting the report of Engineer Geo.
Anderson. Mr.. Anderson was sent
to look over the proposition by the
| bond company, and arrived here last
Sunday. In company with Engineer
Burwell, Mr.. Black and Mr.. Walker,
he traversed the line of the ditch.
Mr.. Black states that the require
ments of the bond company are that
| II the ditch line is raised, cross-sec-
toned and 10000 acres of land shown
on the plats and the cost OF construc-
ton not too high, the money will be
forthcoming. These conditions the
Eden company will at once fulfill. 1t
will take probably sixty days to re
survey the line. raising 1t eighteen
feet, as proposed. taking the heading
at the mouth OF the Florida. The
cross-sectioning and plating will take
further time. When this is all done.
and the construction bids are in, the
result is certain to be the prompt
starting Of work. The bids 1t is said
must not exceed the first estimate of
Engineer Burwell over 100000. His
estimate was about s225,000. Sell
ing water at $25 an acre on 10000

Late one night her husband was
awakened by mysterious sounds ON the
lower floor of their house. Jumping
out of bed, the husband took his reyoI-
yer from drawer and crept noiseless-
ly to the head of the stairs. Presently
the wife herself was awakened by n
loud report, followed by a mad sour
rying of feet Much agitated. she In
turn sprang from bed and went to the
door, where she met her husband re-

Care of AnfmuIp.

AS man has adapted different ami
mails to different uses 1t does not infer
that they are not subject to natural
laws. On the contrary, the subjection
Is more complete than before, and, as
man has been the foster agent in
changing the characteristics of most do
mestic animals, SO must the hand Of
man be ever ready to render that as
sistance so essential to their we'll
being. The pasture, shelter and care
must be suitable for the accomplish
ment Of the purpose desired, and no
neglect can be allowed. Not only must
the utmost care be taken in selecting
the ANIMALS. that suit the farm best,
but the farm itself must also conform
to the animals. One should not attempt
to improve unless prepared for 1t, as
failure will be the result, but the prep
aration is easily made. Better stock
means better farming, larger crops and
greener pastures. With each year the
crops become better, because the system
ers' who do not possess facilities for
certain breeds Of animals neeJ not be
discouraged. as all can have privil-
ege with some kinds that do not come
up to the requirements needed. I'M
provement should be the object with
every farmer, for even should the farm
er lag behind, the time will arrive
when he will be compelled to camp on
the same ground that others long be-
fore occupied, but who have left 1t for
something better. Keep pace with the
time, and keep the flock to the best,
by breeding with thoroughbreds and
always culling from the bottom.

Preparations for these operations
are simple. Any physician may equip
his Office so that he can do the work
satisfactorily and the technic calls for
only ordinary surgical dexterlty.
"a hypodermlc syringe, keen seal
pei, small, sharp scissors; fine cambric
needles and fine sterile silk represent
the instruments absolutely necessary
for the operation.
Cleanliness Is essential to prompt
and satisfactory healing The face Of
the patient and the hands of the oper-
ator should be scrubbed. Antseptics
may be used, though they are not essen
tial.

The convexlty Of the crescent should

Of the crescent varies according to the
depth Of the wrinkles or the size Of

with sharp scalpel along the lid. The
skin should be divided entirely, and

drawn upward, the operator observing
carefully just how much must be re-,

tion demanding the operation; then
with the scissors the skin Is cut away,

Just sufficient skin is left along the,

Often Have Several Dens-Father's
Devotion to the Young.
The favorite dennlng place of the
coyote pair is dug by themselves in
some sunny bank but they may use
an abandoned badger hole, says Ernest
Thompson Seton In Success The en-
trance is about 10 by 20 inches and is
commonly concealed in the bushes. The
actual nest is sometimes lined with
little grass and fur, and sometimes
quite bare. Mr.. Barton sends the plan
of one which he examined.
Apparently it had been dug by the
present owners, and was much the same
as the dozen or so others he had in
vestigated. The air hole, located after
close search, was, as usual, an old
gopher hole, enlarged from below and
directly over the nest; he supposes 1t
Is made to admit fresh air to the

Growing Alfalfa.

z G. Dameron, of Pike County, Mo-,
Is credited by an exchange with the
following suggestions on growing al
falfa:
After several years experimental
tlon, with both success and failure,
unhesltatingly advise fall seeding.
While know Of no plant that excels
alfalfa in vigor of growth after 1t Is
once established, 1t Is extremely timid
about its association with other plants
in Its early life. Weeds and foxtail
are Its worst foes, and how to avoid
them or to reduce them to the mini
mum is the problem before the alfalfa
grower. 1t Is with this in view that
advise the fall seeding. To my mind
the piece selected for seeding down
next fall should be upland naturally
well drained and fertile. If the piece
selected Is land in wheat l should top
dress It during winter with all the
stable manure 1 could possibly get on
it-not in great hunks, but well distrib-
uted. After the wheat comes off in
June should disk 1t twice, once each
way. After the first shower the weeds
will begin to appear, then disk again.
Keep this up until Sept. 1. Don't plow
under any circumstances, but kill all
the weed growth by surface cultiva-
tlon. All this sounds like work, and
1t is work, but the best remunerated
work farmer ever did. About Sept. l.,
If there be moisture enough for ger
mlnation, sow twenty pounds Of seed
per acre. Use a wheelbarrow seeder
and SOW ten pounds each way. This
covers 'skips' and gives better dis
tribution of the seeds. Then slant
your harrow teeth and cover by going
over the field at least twice"
