ORCHARD CULTIVATION.

There is nothing which can be done for the young orchard which will tend to make it more thrifty and vigorous than to give ii careful cultivation for the first few years after it is set This result may be brought about to ad vantage by growing some crop be- tween the rows of trees, such as straw berries, potatoes, popcorn or, better still, beans. The frequent cultivations given keep the ground loose and moist and keep the young trees from suffer ing should hot and dry spell come in middle or late summer. If the orchard is an old one and blue grass and weeds have gradually worked their way in, good plan would be to give 1t a shal- low blowing, so as not to injure the surface roots, to disk frequently with extension or reversible disk until about the middle of July and then SOW buck wheat and oats, which will come on and make a good winter cover crop. Next spring, if it is desired, the or chard may be thoroughly disked or plOwed and sowed to clover. In Pa citic coast orchards, where there is no danger of injury from winter freezing. the orchards are usually kept cultivat- ed the season through.

CARE OF CHICKS.

Little chickens are better off if they are not fed at all during the first twentyfour or forty eight hours. This is due to the fact that by a provision of nature the yolk of the egg is the last portion to be absorbed in the change from egg to chick, and this contains sufficient nourishment to sup ply the little creature with all it needs during the time mentioned. The first food may be johnny bread crumbs, cot tage cheese, chick feed and a little later cracked corn, while a little green food in some form should be fur niShed. Clean water and milk If avail able should be where the little fellows can get at them. Three things which should be remembered in the care of the little chicks is that they should have dry and clean quarters. be kept free from the attacks of lice and not allowed to eat wet, raw meal that has become sour

ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.

As one becomes more familiar witb the conditions under which the farmer in the irrigated tracts of the west works his land and handles his crops 1t i3 clear that he has several advan-' t2rCS over his fellow farmer in the central and eastern states. who relies upon rainfall alone for the moisture necessary for the grON h and maturi- ty of his crops. Perhaps his chief and most important advantage is that he is able to put water on his land at will, being free from the distraction and annoyance of heavy rains during the time of seeding and cultivation. which would soak the ground, delay cultivation and give the weeds big boost Coupled with d perfect regu- latiOn of the moisture which is al- lowed to go upon the land is another favorable cOndition-the large number of clear, Liieht C@y-3 ting tGc h. vest months, which make possible the perfect ripening of the grain and hay and the harvesting and securing of 1t under most favorable conditions. Any one who has tried to cure hay between showers in June In the central and eastern states will appreciate this point. Lastly, the irrigated lands have this vital point in their favor-that little if any of the original fertility of the soil has been soaked out and washed out by repeated and heavy rains. This accounts for the remark able productivity of western soils, which have waited centuries for the magic touch of water to make them the garden spots of earth. In view of these points and others which might be mentioned. 1t is not surprising that many an eastern farmer looks long ingly toward the west and many an other pulls up stakes and goes out to the irrigated sections.

 Stock cattle will get along very well under cut of dCor conditions if only they are provided with a clean, dry place in which to sleep which is pro tected from storm and wind. Not only is the comfort of the animal. but its health as well. dependent upon this. and both will re decreased if it has to put up with a wet and nasty slcepin 7 place. A way cut under such condi- tions would seem to be the liberal use of straw. which will absorb the liquid manures ard also increase materially the volume of fertilizer which can be hauled on to the hungry land.

STRINGENT MEASURES NEEDED.

It Is becoming more apparent every year that the legislatures in all states which have the noxious weed problem on hand should pass laws making it an offense punishable by heavy fine for a farm owner to sell any product of his farm which could possibly carry the foul seeds to adjoining farms. It is true that in some cases some such laws are on the statute books, but they are either not enforced or else the penalty they provide is not sufficient to stop the nuisance. With many land owners waging an almost futile war fare against the worst weeds and their appearance in new fields and localities each year. it is clear that stringent measures will have to be adopted to give relief. Men whose farms are not yet contaminated have the same in terest in giving aid to the movement that people who are well do in seeing that a quarantine placed to prevent the spread of a loathsome disease is enforced.

Do this with your children.

School children should be fed plenti- fully and frequently on Quaker Oats. It makes the best possible breakfast for anyone who is to work with either brain or muscle. It's easy to prove this in your own family. Increase the daily consumption of Quaker Oats and you'll see an almost immediate improvement in the health and energy of those who eat it. The regular size package of Quaker Oats sells at 10c, the large family pack age size at 25c; the family package with a piece of china BOG.

There is hardly a creamery company anywhere which from the standpoint of dollars and cents merely could not we'll afford to supply all of its patrons with an annual subscription to some good dairy paper. The better methods which would doubtless be adopted in the handling and care of the cream as we'll as greater pains taken in the wedding out of improbable individ- uals in the dairy herd would com bine to increase not only the quality but the quantity of the butter prod uct. The more progressive dairymen in any community already take dairy papers, but many do not, and in the case of these such a plan would bear good fruit.

The work of the station will be directly beneficial to the lumber papermaking and furniture interests of this section. Tests will be made of various kinds of wood for the manu- fracture of wood pulp. while methods will be studied for the more effective utilization of the pine stumpage of the north. When organized the station will offer a special course of study for the training of forest rangers.

Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt's plan of build ing in New York city four model tene- ment houses for tuberculous families deserves praise What the tuberculosis patient needs and what he can get on!. in a well conducted hospital or sanita rum is intelligent supervision of hi sleeping quarters. According to Mrs. Vanderbilt's scheme, the families to he housed in her model tenements will be thus supervised until they cfn safely live elsewhere. A particularly valuabl" feature of her plan Is the fact that It tends to keep the family together. The dispersion of the family undoubtedly has its bad effect upon the patient him. self and frequently results in the sep aration of the entire family.

With eggs the past winter ranging all the way from 9 to 40 cents per dozen, 1t Is possible there may be some who will want to put some nice fresh eggs down for future use. A method which gives better results than any other is putting the eggs down as fast as they are laid or can be secured In a water glass solution, which is made by mixing one quart of sodium silicate to ten parts of water previously boiled, the solution being mixed while hot. The vessel used for the purpose should be of wood or stOneware, preferably the latter. Fresh eggs put up in the above manner will keep remarkably well for ten months. The best time to lay by such a store of eggs is when they arc the cheapest possible consistent with freshness.

The Charity Organization Society of Youngstown, O.. has obtained the use of a twelve acre garden close to the town for cultivation during the sum- H,er. An experienced gardener will be ut in charge. and work will be pro- yiGcd for all. The society has been through an experience which would undoubtedly have killed an organiza- ion less strongly and enthusiastically backed. It started work just at the height of the industrial depression last year. In consequence it was obliged to raise special relief funds. and it's total budget exceeded by thousands the orig inal and normal estimates.
