dandelions to be recommended is spray
ing the plants with solution made by
dissolving two ounces of iron sulphate
in q gallon of water Such a spray is
said to be strong enough to kill the
dandelions, but does little injury to
blue grass or white clover.
The best way to fight the knot or
crab grass which sometimes gets a
months is to water the lawn frequently
if rainfall is insufficient, thus keeping
the lawn grass in a thrifty condition,
and cut quite often. Being q hot
weather, deep rooted grass, the crab
grass flourishes under conditions in
which the blue grass will remain at
standstill
1t is during the rainy weeks Of the
spring and fall that the placing Of
cave spouts on the feed yard side Of
the barn will tend to keep the yard
from miring down and becoming an all
around nuisance. Such an equipment
will also mean more comfort for man
and beast and a more economical ham
ding Of the barnyard manure because
Of less soaking and teaching
If mildew gathers on the books on
the library shelves or on the clothing
in the closets, it is pretty sure sign
that the foundation Of the house is
low and improperly ventilated or that
there Is too much shade about the
house. In either case the trouble
should be righted, as the good health
vital consideration.
In spite Of the fact that the necessity
Of using commercial fertilizers in the
state Of Illinois was not considered
within the range Of possibility twenty
years ago, 81 100000 was nevertheless
expended in the purchase of these arti-
cles last year. This move has been
made necessary by a careless handling
Of the soil in which more was taken
from it in the shape Of crops than was
replaced in the form Of fertilizers.
If the trees bordering your place and
overhanging the sidewalks have low
hanging limbs which brush the hats or
parasols Of passersby, it Is time you
got busy with saw and trimmed
them up. Thrifty trees grow very fast
and will send out these low branches
before one realizes 1t. In the same way
the trees about the house will thicken
up soon after a previous years prun-
ing 50 as to practically envelop the
house In shade. - a.1.
II the strawberry bed is In its Sec
ond or third year and is quite full of
grass and weeds, 1t may be easily rem
ovated by cutting it over closely with
o scythe, burning or removing the lit
ter and ruttlfng up and cultivating
thoroughly all of the bed but a narrow
strip In the center Of each row. From
the roots left undisturbed enough run
ners will start to replant the bed. This
job may be done as soon as the crop
of berries is picked.

One of the latest methods for killing
dandelions to be recommended is spray

The sword fern, which is one OF the
most attractive ornamental house
plants. seems to thrive better in those
rooms where the temperature is most
even and where 1t Is not exposed to the
direct rays Of the sun. Experiments
with a thrifty four-year-old fern OF
this variety in the writer's home lead
TO the above conclusion.

To the Editor: You are good
Booster and | thank you very much
for that uplifting you gave me last
week. 1t may do me more good than
all my own advertising combined. 1t
also gave me an opportunity to try to
be a Booster myself, and think it
would be a good thing for this town if
Boosters Club could be organized
to help build Vi both the town and
surrounding country. A travelling
man asked me the other day how it
was that the Julesburg people dressed
80 per cent better than the Fort Nor
gan people. or any other people be-
tween Denver and here, and he added
"the ,Iulesburg people are at least so
per cent better people, too" My an
swer was that l supposed it must be
becau,e the Julesburgers were on the
main line of the Union Pacific and the
others only on a branch rOad-we
therefore have the advantage to come
in contact with more intelligent peO-
pie than the branch road people, and
that means whole lot to US and our
town. a Boosters Club would there
fore have the best chance to boom up
our town and country. Since ! came
here last spring many good people
have been asking me who carries the
best readymade clothing in town. My
answer has not. and could not always
be favorable. because there was no
good readymade clothing when | came
here. But now, in order to justify my
self and others, | am prepared to give
an answer to the questioners The
kuppenheimer clothing, which Mr..
Fine of the Fishman store carries, is
without doubt the most stylish and
we'll tailored clothing on the ready
made market: but the Friend Brothers
clothing, which Mr.. Coyle lately got
in, is the best readymade clothing |
have seen in this town for the money.
Last. but not least. comes the home
made clothing of which ye editor last
week SO highly praised, and serves a
double purpose-it serves the wearer
and it serves our own towns indus
trial and commercial interests-and is
better than any other clothing.
Yours truly,
L. J. LUNDELI.,
Merchant Tailor.

Sedgwick county is displaying great
activity this spring. The Julesburg
Irrigation District. comprising 1900
acres of beautiful level land. extends
up and down the Platte valley for %
miles. and is about , miles wide. eX-
cepting the Lodge Pole valley where
1t Is or $ miles in width. This dis
trict has one of the best irrigation
systems and reservoir in the state.
The reservoir has capacity Of one
and quarter billion feet of water: it
has u feet of water at the headgate
now. JulesbIrg is at the lower end
OF this district. and Scdgwck at the
upper end. while the new town of
ovid is in the center and at the mouth
of Lodge Pole creek. The railroad
company is now arranging for side
tracks and beetdump facilities at
ovid. Beet-dumps are to be put in at
Sedgwlck this spring. \ bridge
across the Platte river at Ovid is CON
templated. This irrigation district is
some 400 fe-t lower than the Greeley
district, and is very successful for po-
ttto raising. Last year there we're
several hundred acres Of potatoes put
in, and the early potatoes produced
here reached the Denver market from
II to Is days ahead of those from the
Greeley district. This year they are
going into potato raising very eXtcn-
siyely, the following being some of
those who are now planting to pota

In addition to the above list there
are many others whom we have not
ht en- able to obtain. 1t is estimated
that fully $500 acres of irrigated
potatoes, as well as 1000 acres OF
upland, will be put in this season.
There are 2lO0 acres Of sugar beets
contracted to be put in this season.
II these $500 acres of potatoes by irri-
CATION raise 100 sacks to the acre. it
means $50. 900 sackS-which with $50
sacks to the car means 1000 cars. a
train of 30 cars. 30 cars to the train.
The soil is "a dark sandy loan with
some gravel and goou subSOil, very
similar to the Greeley potato district.
The undertakings and developments
Of this district will be watched with
great deal of Interest. for the reason
that the lower altitcde may provide
an earlier product for the Denver
market and mountain towns for all
kinds Of vegetables as we'll as pOta
