MAKING GOOD on The
DRY LAND HOMESTEAD

The following outlines a plan whereby
a new settler al make good the first
season
First-As Il the selection of a home
stead on which Il locate. AS live
stock is an essential to the highest
success in farming in the semi-arid
belt, a location should be adjacent 10
as much free range as possible. Natur-
ally this will take the settler into the
more broken sect ions of the country.
where he can find some smooth land on
the bench or along some small stream.
where small division dams may be put
in and flood waters turned out on small
bottoms for orchard and garden. as
plenty of domestic and stock water is
absolutely essential to success.
The homesteader should move onto the
land he intedns to improve by Novem-
Der 1st at the latest. 1t would be bet
ter for him to be there by October list,
so as to get up his house before winter
sets in. During the winter months.
material can be gotten on the ground
for stables, corrals and fencing, and
the early spring months a thus be left
free to break up the soil. If a person
waits until spring to move onto his
claim, too often the summer is we'll
along before he has gotten up his house.
stables and corrals, and the dry weather
sets in before he fairly gets started
breaking, and the result is he loses a
whole year.
He should pillow shallow. say 2K to 3
inches, if his sod is tough. and should
roll each half days breaking before
leaving the field. SO as to secure a sod
mulch and conserve all the moisture that
may fall during the spring and summer
He should count on getting 60 days
breaking during April. May and June.
besides doing the other work needed to
be done. If he averages IN acres pei
day and attends to the other work that
must be done to put in a crop. he will
do well.
Now as to crops to be put in to take
care of the amount of live stock. Al
least ten acres should be put int
potatoes. Under. suitable conditions
the field will run from so to $50 bushels
per acre.
The next crop to put in is Canadian
peas. For these the sod should bt
single disced. Twenty-Five acres o.
peas sown broadcast and then disced il
for hay and then IS acres that are in
tended to thresh should be drilled il
with a seeder. drawn by a single horse
twenty-five acres should be put in roots
such as sugar beets. turnips, carrots an
rutabagas. Twenty-Five acres can the
be put in barley. Ten acres can be pu
into macaroni wheat and last twent
acres should be seeded 10 alfalfa.
good stand of alfalfa car be gotten o.

The seed bed for this latter should b

The Cane Crop.


A continuance Of idea
whether for the blowing Of
the corn land, with the first
corn planting already started
on numbers OF places, has
permitted excellent progress
being made towards the early
and better cultivation of the
cane crop. Ofbarring of
stubble, too, is being done by
some, and should the mouth
pass without any unexpected
freeze, the plant cane will
have secured d gratifying,
advanced start in the next
few weeks. Practically every
where cane planting has
been brought to an end, on a
large percentage OF places con
Guided a month or more ago.
The feature of the new crops
seeding was the uniformly
good condition Of the d. "a
Seeding, which k apt in wind
row better than the home
cane, as a rule, this contrary
to what has been found IN
most years. Inaslhuch as the
D. "a cane everywhere did
better last year than it Iro-
missed, in most parishes, Civ
ing heavier returns to- the
acre than the home canes ia
many instances, only in few
cases falling below the yield
of the domestic varieties, the +
return to favor of the d. "a
seeding is in line. Should
the d. "a not again prove
disappointing like it did in
1907, but this year do as well
as shown last season, we
shall look for a very material
enlargement in it's areas for
1910, and very probably more
planters will make ready for
its better and cheaper Guilt

Attorney F. c. Robertson has
filed a motion for a new trial in
the case of Margaret Engleking
against the city of Spokane for
$4,000 damages for the loss of the
life of her husband, the ground for
the new trial being that Judge Sui
Ivan erred in holding that the city
was not liable because 1t was en-
gagged in the exercise of a govern
mental function in building the
bridge. and was not responsible
for any risks assumed by Engle-
king. A statement accompanies
th6 petition, in which is set forth
the shorthand report of the discus
sion of the motion, which finally
prevailed, knocking out the case of
Mrs. Engleking.

INTpOTHE PLEADINGs OF

As COUNSEL FOR UNITED
1 STATES,

Judge George Turner has gone
to Washington, d. c., to participate
in two important legal matters,
one as counsel for the state of
Washington, the other as special
attorney for the United States gov
eminent.
The Washington case relates to
the petition for a rehearing in the
United States supreme court of
the case of the Oregon Washington
boundary dispute, in which Wash
ington lost, causing the boundary
between the two states in the Co.
lumbia river to be moved pretty
close to the Washington shore,
Turner was retained in this case
by Governor Mead at the special
instance of the people living in the
southwestern part of the state, who
regretted keenly the loss of the
suit.
In the other matter Judge Turn.
er has been engaged as chief coun
sci for the government to present
the merits of it's contention as to
American fishing rights on the
