CLIFF JEWELLERS OF UTAH.
Results of Investigations and Explora-
tions of Prof. Cummings.

That the great mesas, cliffs and can
yonS that now form large part of
the desolate region included IN San Juan
county, in the southeastern part of Utah.
were once the homes of an extensive
population that had reached some degree
of civilization is the opinion of Prof.
Byron Cummings of the University of
Utah, who has just returned from
three months exploration trip in that
region. 1t has already been established
that this desert stretch was once inhab-
ited but through the efforts of Prof.
Cummings and his co-workers it Ia
shown that the people there arrived at
a considerable degree of cleverness in
building ald the manufacture of pot
terry and weapons. Considerable time
was spent in exploring the old pueblos
of the mesas, and Prof. Cummings be-
lieves the people who occupied the pu-
eblos were the same as those who dwelt
on the mesas.
About twenty-five miles from Monti-
cello the party eXcayated large ruin at
the head of II n canyon, on Alkali
ridge. Three kivas, or ceremonial cham
bers, were opened, the ruin containing
altogether forty-one kivas. While these
ruins are similar to those found in other
parts of San Juan county apparently
they were much more ancient. The peo-
pie who built them also built strong de-
fensive works on the rim rocks around
the heads of canyons, and their dwelling
places covered many acres of ground.
Judging from the number Of kivaS it is
believed that a large number of clans
occupied each pueblo. The exploration
work was under the direction of the
American Society of Archaeology.

The corn is most easily handled by
cutting with a corn binder and using a
silage cutter of sufficient capacity to
avoid rho necessity of cutting bands.
When corn is fully tasseled it contains
less tnan one-fourth as much dry mat
ter as when the ears are fully glazed.
From this time to maturity the increase
Is but slight. Records of the cost Of
silo filing were kept by the Illinois
experiment station on ten different
farms and the cost was found to range
from 40 to rs cents ton, the average
being 56 cents a ton.
That silage should keep well the corn
should not be cut until most of the kerr
nels are glazed and hard. If too ripe
the silage will not settle well and the
air will not be sufficiently excluded to
prevent spelling. Corn seems to be the
best single crop for the silo, and by
combining 1t with COW peas or soy
beans the feeding value is greater ton
for ton than Of corn alone. OF 373
comparisons made between silage and
non-silage milk. 60 per cent were in
favor OF the silage milk, 90 per cent
were In favor of non-silage and IL per
cent indicated no preference.

Farm Standard. Hirher.

One thing that will cut considerable
ice in the labor question The man
who has been studying the books and
good farm papers, and kept up with
the procession in new ways of doing
things will find that he has better
grip on his job than the man who has
not. Many a man has kept his posi-
ton because be has taken an interest
In his work and has learned how to
farm according to modern methods
when other men could have been hired
in his place for one-third less wages.
There is no doubt that the standard
of farm labor is getting into a higher
notch every year, and we have got to
hustle and learn about things by read
ing books, good farm papers and at
tending the institutes. Get the hunger
for reading, boys.

EFFECT OF AN AUTO RACE.

Make which Takes Big Prize.

Ticl<les an Owner to Have Car of =
Make which Takes Big Prize.
1t is, indeed, easily noticeable after
a big automobile race Of any sort, in
which the particular winning make Of
machine gets a great deal of attention,
that owners of cars OF this certain
make are apt to look little bit more
proud than usual, says the New York
sun. Take, for instance directly after
the Grand Prix race at Dieppe, where
Mercedes car was first. There have
been folks driving Mercedes cars IN
subdued manner, about the streets of
the city for some years when tie Ger
man machine was not showing un at all
well in races.
But the moment that the news Of
Lautenschlager's victory was spread
abroad they began TO look q little more
conscious as they drove about. 1t was
as II each one felt that he had lie
handling of car that might turn out
any day and win just such race.
When the Isotta- Fraschini finisGed
first at Briareliff that sent the heads
oil q Whole lot of owners of these cars
away up. 1t is the same with every
little thing-a road race or hill climb
or some unusual feat they make the
driver or owner OF one of these tri-
umphant cars bit more cocky.
When the Thomas car was leading
the others across the continent Thotaas
drivers, whether they were handling
1904 or 1905 models, apparently all had
mental pictures of what they could do
to some other makes IL they wanted TO.
It is sure thug that each of these
races has such result and sometimes
the drivers are surprised and hurt
when In road brush they get left by
some car that never won blue ribbon
as a racer.

From experience of feeders at the
experiment stations the pig increases
with greatest profit until 6 or I months
old, when it has reached the maximum.
After that the gains require a larger
amount of grain to produce a given
amount of pork. and they should be
fattened and disposed of.
One bushel of corn made thirteen
and one-third pounds of pork at G
months old, at months old one
bushel made 1872 pounds, and at
months old one bushel made 12.e
pounds.
While there are varying conditions
that have their influence upon the
amount of gain made, it is a general
principle that after 6 or Z months the
amount of gain from bushel Of corn
IS on a decreasing scale, and it has
been demonstrated again and again that
the first hundred pounds costs less than
the second, and the third less than the
fourth hundred, and that to produce
the fourth hundred too often costs
double as much as the second hun

Tube To supply Air ia Tree Roots.
An inventor in Algeria, Africa, has
devised and had patented an air tube
for supplying air to tree roots. The
tube is made of ceramicware, and is
almost indestructible. Placed in the
ground beside a tree, with the top
slightly above the surface to admit the
air, the young roots find their way
through number of holes. Expert
ments have proved, says Popular Me-
chanics, that the growth Of vegetation
has been greatly advanced by its use.

Inland Waterways.

Action should be begun forthwith, during the present session of the congress, for the improvement of our inland waterways which will result in giving us not only navigable but navigated rivers. We have spent hundreds of millions of dollars upon these waterways, yet the traffic on nearly all of them is steadily de- clining. This condition is. the direct result of the absence of any compre- hensive and far seeing plan of water way improvement. Obviously we can not continue thus to expend the reve- nues of the government without re- turn. It is poor business to spend money for inland navigation unless we get it.
