ORCHARD FERTILITY.

How to keep up the fertility of or
chard lands is a problem which our
orchardists are beginning to consider
more and more. Not that there is yet
a crying need for fertilizers, but it
must be apparent to all thinking men
that the enormous drain on fertility
cannot be continued indefinitely. For
tunately commercial fertilizers are out
of our reach on account of high prices.
Barnyard manure is no very big item
in the orchard districts, but fortunately
green manures are within the reach of
all.
Clean cultivation of orchards is all
right within certain limits, but in
many sections of Colorado this practice
has certainly been carried too far. All
Colorado soils are lacking in organic
matter, and if it is added by plowing
under stubble, green crops, or manure,
it does not last for any very great
length of time. So, the supply must
be constantly renewed. Green manure
has been used in few orchards here
and there over the State with good re-
suits. but in the majority of instances
the soil is puddled and lifeless from
long continued clean cultivation.
Organic matter does many things for
soils, but the one important thing for
US to consider in this connection is that
it sets free some of the locked up plant
food elements. All our soils contain an
abundance of fertility, but it is mostly
in forms which are useless to plants.
The decay of vegetable matter gen.
crates materials which decompose the
soil particles, and also promotes vari-
GUS soil activities. All these working
together are continually making food
of plants which includes the clovers,
beans, peas, and alfalfa, actually add
fertility to the soil.
The use of cover crops in orchards
has become general in many states,
but SO far Colorado orchardists have
given the matter little attention.; how
ever, many fruit growers are consider
ing the subject.
1t is impossible to give definite in
structions as to what crop will be best
suited to Colorado conditions, or Just
how it should be managed. The only
way these questions can be settled is
for a number Of men in the various
localities to experiment with different
crops, time of planting, and methods of
handling. IL this il done, we will soon
have mass of reliable data from which
Colorado system, Of green mappting
may be evolved. fs

THE TAMWORTH HOG
FOR COLORADO.


Colorado feeds are particularly
adapted for growing animals and for
the production of lean meat. Colorado
feeders should not attempt to compete
with the men in the corn belt in pro-
ducing lard hogs. but they can grow
cheaply the bacon type.
Many queries are received in regard
to the worth of the Tamworth for this
purpose.
The Tamworth is -ictly bacon
hog with body smoot., long, deep
and thin; light head, neck and shoul-
ders; thin jowls; long nose and long,
strong legs; color, red. 1t has been
bred to produce as large proportion
as possible of its weight in an even
thickness of choice bacon.
1t has been noted for over 100 years
for the large proportion of lean meat.
A 200 prund hog ready for the market
will not have over one inch to one and
half inches of fat along its back.
The two strongest characteristics of
the Tamworth are lean meat and large

average for all sows was ten live pigs
to litter. A two-year- old sow, weigh
ing $50 pounds, had ls live pigs at one
farrowing. Fully matured sows, well
cared for, can produce two litlers
year. A Tamworth sow at the Iowa
Agricultural College raised 80 pigs in
one year.
Many feeding tests have been make
to compare the different breeds of
hogs and all show that the Tamworth
will make as many pounds of gain
from given weight of feed as will
the hogs of any other breed. The gain
is more largely lean meat. Owing to
the unusual proportion of lean, the
pork has delicious flavor. The Tam
worth is hardy and active and a good
hog for keeping on pastures.
Many stockmen who have raised lard
hogs dislike the Tamworth. To them
it looks like "razor back" They do
not like its long nose, long legs and
thin, long body, and think it must be a

lard instead of bacon on hog.
The first cross of a pure bred Tam
worth on other breeds produces an
easy feeder that natures quickly and
is generally popular with stockmen.
The second cross is often unsatisfac-
tory, the pigs in the same litter fire.
quently being of entirely different
types, some chunky and others ex-
tremely lengthy with a variety in mix
lures of colors.
The strongest objection to the Tam
worth comes from farmers who neglect
their pigs during the summer when
field work crowds, planning to give
them extra attention in the fall. The
Tamworth will not stand stunting.
Once stunted he can never be made
profitable. The surplus fat of the lard
hog will carry him over a period of
neglect; the Tamworth does not have
the lard.

No Fear of Deficit.

Christmas demands disposed of and feeling calmer than earlier in the holi- day season. employees of the office of the State treasurer have given expres- sion to the belief that none will suffer through any deficiency in the State treasury this year. They say there may be shortage in the general fund, but should 1t occur the sheriffs of the various counties, who will by that time have large sums in their hands from tax collections, and although they are not ready to turn 1t over to the State treasurer, will be appealed to for an advance. There has been an assurance that should this be asked the sheriffs will not turn it down, but sens in whatever amount they have on hand, take the treasurer's receipt for it and then credit 1t at the settle ment which is made later in the year.

The fine in each offense is not less than s10 nor more than s25 At the State Sheriffs' meeting it was resolved to enforce this law to the letter There are usually many public gatherings in Arkansas on Christmas and many men with pints and quarts of red liquor journey on trains between stations to points of interest and some are in variably quite noisy and demonstra- tive while under the influence of the contents of their flasks. If all such Christmas celebrants should be arrest ed, convicted and fined. the governor. 1t is predicted, will be overwhelmed during the coming month with peti- tions for the pardons of the misde- meanors.

New Laws For 1908,

seven acts passed by the recent legislature will become effective dur ing the coming year and one the year after. The one that takes effect Janu- ary l, 1909, is a local law affecting the question of making legal four wire fence in Arkansas and Prairie counties. The question is left to the counties interested.
 The other acts which go into effect January l, 1908, are the pure food law, the anti-cigarette law, and the act regulating the operation of locomotive headlights.
 The law requiring the county courts of each county to receive propositions from banks which desire to be the Repositories of the county's funds. takes effect October 31, 1908.
 The act providing for a county de- pository for Randolph county takes effect from and after October 31, 1908.
 The act fixing the salary of the treasurer of Washington county at $1,200 per annum, goes into effect
 
 One of the most important special acts passed by the recent legislature is the one which separates the office of collector from that Of sheriff of Garland county. This act takes effect October 31, 1908. In view of the recent contest in that county over the sheriff's office, which carried with 1t the collectorship, the plan of separa- ting the offices will be watched with a great deal of interest The object of separating the two offices, as stated when the bill was discussed in the legislature, was to eliminate the office of collector from the politics of Gar land county
 An act which becomes law on the first of the year, and one in which every merchant in the State is inter- ested, is that which IS known as the pure food act. It is an act to pre- vent the manufacture or sale of adul- terated or misbranded or poisonous or deleterious foods, drugs, medicines and liquors.
 The anti-cigarette act also becomes effective January l. This act makes 1t unlawful for any person, firm or cor poration, acting either as principal or agent, to sell. give away or offer for sale or to give away or to have in possession on or about the premises for the purpose of selling or giving away, or to make or manufacture, or to attempt to make or manufacture, or in any way assist In making or manufacturing for the purpose of sell ing or giving away any cigarette. cigarettes, or cigarette wrappers or papers. to any person or persons. The penalty is a fine of not less than $10, nor more than $50.

State Capital Notes
Christmas Generally Observed.

From ali indications, and judging from the statements of merchants and dealers in the various holiday lines, business in Little Rock during the holi- day season was rushing" Beginning with last Saturday the stringency in the money market was forgotten, and the streets were crowded with Christ mas shoppers, loaded down with mys
 terious bundles of various sizes. We'll dressed women, wrapped in furs, rubbed elbows with the little waifs of the streets who enjoyed the windows, and whose longing looks sometimes attracted "Milady of the Furs," and the little waifs would also be loaded with some of the things that mean Christ mas for the more fortunate child. The poor, too, who are always to be found In plentiful numbers, in the larger cities were bountifully remembered, and If single individual was forgot ten at this season of good cheer" it was not the fault of the liberal minded citizens of the capital city. Five hundred of the poor people, both black and white, were clothed by one of the leading firms of Little Rock, the only requisite needed for obtain ing all the clothing needed being a rec ommendation from some representa- tive of charitable organization in order to prevent those who were not needy from taking advantage of the opportunity to get clothes free. In this large establishment several clerks were kept busy helping to fit the chil- dren in new clothes, while the older ones were allowed to go through the great piles of clothing and pick out what they wanted. No one was denied anything. Whatever he found that he needed was given him. Many were equipped in new clothes from head to foot. The Salvation Army, too, was busy during the day and it is esti- mated that between 1000 and 2,500 people were made happy by a Christ mas dinner. Standing around two long tables loaded with good things to eat, which were three different times filled, hungry people. mostly men, en- joyed taste of the viands which were at the same time bedecking the tables of the rich The women and children were reached by well-flled baskets, three hundred being sent out. The lit
 tie children were remembered in oth
 CT ways, the Elks at their hall having provided a Christmas tree from which none were debarred. Each child was given candy and fruit, besides a pres ent. An orchestra was also in atten- dance to provide music for the little guests. Little Rock in providing for the happiness of the destitute has been fully repaid in one of the most prosperous seasons within her history along all avenue of business, and feels Secure in the nrosnects for the futnre.
