In this connection, Robert T. Nor.
ris of New York says: Il believe that
nut trees are largely to take the place
of the useless trees which are at pres.
emit planted for decorative purposes in
public and private grounds. The rea.
SON for this belief Is. because there
are no more beautiful trees or more
attractive than those to be found In
the nutbearing group"
A nurse crop for alfalfa is not IA
vored by the most successful grow
ers. In cutting such crop consider
able damage is apt to be done the
young alfalfa plants. With few ex-
ceptions where experiments have been
tried at experiment stations 1t has
been found that the second and third
years have brought heavier yields
where no nurse crop was used. The
theory that the nurse crop will pre-
vent the weeds choking the alfalfa is
apparently, as rule, not we'll found
ed. Ia the first place. alfalfa should
not be sown on foul land, and in the
second place proper discing and har-
rowing at near intervals for four or
six weeks before sowing will disturb
or kill far more weeds than can any
nurse CROP Besides, the oats or bar
ley sown as nurse will, when cut,
leave weeds in good growth, or dor
mant and ready to spring up as fast
or faster than alfalfa. No nurse crop
is ever used with fall growing. When
ground has been properly prepared for
the preceding crop, and then properly
cared for, and made ready for the
alfalfa by the preliminary weed de-
struction, it will be found advisable to
SOW alfalfa alone, even in the spring.

M FARM
AAM... @~

&%
Test your COWS.
mo waste land on the farm" Is q
good motto.
The rundown farm is where the
sheep are needed most.
The way to enjoy the fair is to have
some kind of exhibit there.
Corn can be too ripe for putting in
the silo. Guard against it.
Current and gooseberry bushes If
set out in the fall should be well
mulched.
Easier to keep the hogs healthy
than it is to get them well after they
are once sick.
The ,drudgery of the farm can be
largely eliminated by planning and
systematizing the work.
What was done with the cultivator
after the last time through the corn?
Hope it was not left out to weather.
When digging potatoes be sure they
do not lie in the sun. They will turn
green if they do and will have bitter
taste.
Don't let the sheep get wet. Takes
a long time to dry out their heavy
coats of fleece. Provide shelter. 1t
will pay you.
Last call for the state. county or
township fair. OF course you ought
to attend. 1t will do you good and
wife will enjoy it.
If the field is not tile drained and is
inclined to be a little wet, pillow an
occasional. deep furrow. This will
carry off much of the surplus water
and make your crops better.
Not the farm work first, but the ed
ucation of the children. Days taken
from the school for work on the farm
should be placed on the debit rather
than the credit side of the account.
Contrasting associations as organ
lied and managed in many of the
states now include between 20 and 30
dairy farmers who own 300 or more
cows. The purpose is to make an in
dividual study of each COW in the
herd. The plan is to secure a compe-
tent man to visit the farms once each
month and remain there for "a hours.
While there he weighs the feed which
the COW eats. also weighs and tests
the milk. This is done not merely to
see how much milk and butter fat the
cows will give in year. but also to
determine the cost of producing that
milk and butter fat and to ascertain
the profits. He also makes q study of
each herd and suggests improvements.
For this work the man whom the
association employs usually receives
81 per cow per year for each COW
tested. together with his board and
lodging. Besides this expense there Is
an assessment of from Is cents to 81
per member, for covering necessary
expenses.
Why not plant nut trees? Their
product is valuable. The accompany
ing table shows the imports of nuts
for consumption in the United States
during the last nine years. and 1t is
evident from the increase each year
that nuts are entering more generally
into the food consumption of the Nc
ton. This may fairly be considered
IN encouragement for the planting of
nut trees. The values in the tables
are only those of the imports and does
not include the value OF nuts raised

of harvesting. The hogs become the
harvesters and turn the corn into pork
right ON the field. At some of the ex-
pertinent stations and on private
farms q certain definite acreage OF
corn has been fenced on and a num-
Der of hogs turned In to eat the corn.
The hogs were weighed before they
were turned in and again weighed
when they had cleaned up the corn
of q definite area. This gave the ex-
act gains the hogs made on the corn.
In most cases cash net gain has
amounted to as much or more than
the market value of the corn. which
makes it an economical method OF dis
posing of corn. since harvesting and
marketing are saved. Another value
in hogging down corn at maturity In
the fall is the enriching of the soil
with the droppings of the animals.
The value of this fertilizer amounts
to much, either when the same land
is to be planted to corn the following
year, or is to be used for other crops.
The manure is well distributed through
necessity of the animals feeding even
" over the entire area, and the break
ing and tramping down of the stalks
places them in a position to be quickly
acted upon by the fall and winter
rains and to be in an advanced stage
of decomposition at blowing time the
following spring. Corn stalks lying
on the ground over winter will decay
more quickly than when allowed to
stand, and fat on the ground they will
hold the soil from erosion on sloping
or billy land. At the time for hog
ging down corn vthe soil is usually
comparatively dry, hence little or no
damage is done from the pasturing.

CLIFTON TO BE LIGHTED.
Arc Lights Have Arrived and Will be
 Installed Immediately.

Dark streets will soon be at thing of the past in the city of Clifton. The new arc lights have arrived and our popular city officers will soon be receiving the congratulation of our citizens. Every portion of Clifton will be lighted in first-class shape and the town will sport the appearance of civilization.
 Chief Electrician Chilson, of the A. c. electrical department, informed the ERA this week that eighteen new improved arc lights constituted the first instalment. Of this number at least fifteen will be used by the town and the balance will probably be used by the company. He is now busy locating the new poles and stringing new wire where it is needed. It will be necessary to build an entire new system on Chase creek. The big poles have arrived and are now being placed. The town council is now completing all final arrangements in legal form.
 The next good news will be the ar rival of the new fire plugs, which will also be installed as fast as possible.

Basket Ball Club Organized.

The members of the Clifton Basket Ball Club held a meeting Tuesday night for the purpose of perfecting organization and electing a captain and manager, with the following re- suit: Fehrmau, manager; Garwood captain. It was decided that at the present date the first team will con sist of Ramey, Ghizoni, Hauxhurst, Garwood and Fehrman; tryouts- Jamison, Wilson, Rigby, Edwards and Cambridge. Another matter that came up for discussion was regular practice nights, with the final de- cision that Monday and Friday will be the nights. Among the tryouts is some mighty good material.
 It is possible that matches will be arranged with Fl Paso, Douglas and Bisbee teams for games at home and abroad to take place this winter. The first team is the same as last year with the exception that Mason is succeeded by Hauxhurst, and the boys are strong enough to make any team go some to beat them.
 The first match game will probably be played with MOrenci at the latter place in a few weeks, owing to the fact that the local Armory floor will not be completed until the first of DeCem Der.

Increase in Registration Rate.

Postmaster Will Weiss this week informed the ERA reporter that on November 1st the postofice depart ment of the United States made an increase of two cents in the registra- tion rate. Formerly it required eights cents to register a package, while in the future the rate to regis ter parcel or package will be ten cents in addition to the postage re- quired for the letter or package as the case may be. This increase will amount to a very small item to in- dividuals, but to the postoffice de- partment it will mean a great deal of mOneV
