The Morrison Current Motor.

j. r. Morrison, who returned Sun.
day from Pasco, WASH, brings word
that his new current motor was given
q practical test in the Columbia river
at that point, and gave results that
we're even better than anticipated. The
power furnished by the device depends
mainly upon the speed of the current,
but can be increased by enlarging the
diameter or length of the worm.shaped
wheel. The motor was originally
designed to develop power for irri.
eating purposes, but it can be utilized
for any other kind of work to which
steam power IL applicable.
Mr.. Morrison reports q land boom
in the southeastern part OF Washing
ton, tracts of unirrigated property
selling at $50 to $500 per acre accord.
iug to their ad aptsbility and location.
Some of the purchasers of these lands
are securing perpetual water rights
from irrigation companies at a cost
OF about 500 per acre, with a main.
tenance charge of $3.50 to 81 80 per
acre per year. Mr.. Morrison believes
his current motor will be in big
demand throughout the west for irri:
CATION purposes, and intends to
organize q company to handle the
business.

O'DonnelI's Advice To Farmers.

some t1UeIy SuRRestlOoe upon Iarm
management are offered by l. D.
O'Donnell, the Billings agricultural
expert, who has been addressing far.
mers' institutes in various parts of
Montana. His advice to farmers in.
cludes the following:
Operations on a farm should begin
in earnest. The up-to-date farmer has
his seasons plans all made and
should know just what he IL going to
SOW in each plot. He should have his
seed grain all cleaned: the plowshares
and other tools in good repair. and
his summer wood all cut
All grain should be cleaned for
smut. Formalin is the surest and
simplest remedy. Use one pint of for.
malin to forty gallons of water and
this will treat forty bushels of grain.
Sprinkle the grain, mix we'll and let
stand over night. For potato scab
use about one.third stronger.
For dry land farming SOW as early
as possible all kinds of grain.
Sow alfalfa in April and be sure
your ground is we'll worked. To do
we'll it needs good seed bed. Sixteen
pounds to the acre is enough to seed
II the soil is right.
In preparing your fields this spring
try disking before blowing. See how
much better it will make the blowing
and how much bt tier the soil will
work up after blowing.
