At this particular meeting he was

tened patiently in anticipation Of the

The evening was warm. and while
the second speaker was holding forth

and snored loudly

Bangs to his fellow orator, as the lat.

to his seat at the rear of the stage.

OPEN AIR ORCHARD HEATING
How Fruit Crop Of 1909 Of Grand VAL
Icy In Colorado Was Saved
from Frost.

The 1909 crop of fruit in the Grand
Valley in Colorado, from the Palis-
ades above to Iona below, valued at
$3.000,000. owes its existence to
unique battle which was waged
against Jack Frost at time when the
fruit was at its tenderest age, says
Scientific American. BY unusual gen.
eralship and the work of hundreds of
enthusiastic volunteers the tempera-
ture in these orchards was actually
raised eight and nine degrees over 81
miles of territory and a precedent was
established which will mean much to
the future.
In California 1t is said that the tenn.
perature has been raised heretofore in
some single orchards two or three de-
grees, but never to eight degrees. and
never before has the work been car
ried on over so great an cara. Plans
are now on foot to have every bearing
orchard in the Grand Valley protected
by next season. not that there Is any
likelihood OF frost every spring in this
section. but because the protection OF
this years experience Is considered
cheap insurance.
The raising of the temperature over
this large area was accomplished by
means of some 100000 smudge pots of
/ many different types, some burning oil
for fuel and some coal. and placed at
intervals in the orchards. Oil was
carried to the pots in wagon tanks
equipped for the purpose. Spraying
machines were also used in distribu-
ting the oil. A large supply OF light
ers was kept in readiness In q dry
place. Many of these lighters were
made by wrapping waste about a
twisted wire.
All operations were directed from
GSand Junction. Weather stations es-
tablished over much of the territory
and equipped with thermostats when
the threatening weather arrived made
| half-hourly reports on the tempera-
ture to Grand Junction. When. final
| ly. the danger point was approaching
warning was sent to all the ranchmen
to light the fires. Volunteers also in
nearly all walks of life made their
way in automobiles and wagons and
on bicycles over the entire area.
So well did this orchard-heating
idea work that. while the temperature
outside the heated area dropped as
low as 90 degrees. within the heated
area 1t did not go below 29la. Seven.
ty-five per cent. of all the fruit trees
which were in bloom were cared for
directly, while even orchards owned
by those who were skeptical OF the
idea were saved by the fires Of the ad.
| joining territory.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Do the pigs squeal because they
are hungry or cold? Find out: there
is no profit in either condition.
Be sure that the breeding sows are
not getting too fat or too thin. Keep
them In thrifty. growing condition.
For horses that are confined to the
stable on dry feed. n hot bran mash
once or twice each week Is most bene-
fetal.
In handling sheep teach them to fol.
low. The owner or caretaker should
be so familiar with his flock that II
will follow wherever he leads.
Don't let any one chase the young
lambs. 1t is all right to take them
up In the arms. but II your sheen
know you. you can do that so gently
that no disturbance will follow.
A spirited horse will in the end be
made slow and spiritless by constant
nagging. twitching of the lines. peev.
ish urging and other wearing proc.
esses that fretful drivers practise.
Pigs are not well protected by ma.
ture and to thrive they must have
warm winter quarters free from drafts.
They must have a good range for
exercise. but they must have warm
quarters in which to sleep.
Don't dispose of the regular breed,
ing mare because she is getting old.
A single foal will pay her keep.
even If she does not do much work,
and she will not bring much on the
market anyway.
Pastures are usually not what they
should be or might be on the average
farm. They should be made to pro.
duce to the utmost in forage, and
weeds not at all. Fill the soil with
grass roots and the weeds will sue
cumb.
Top dressing the pastures and mead
ows with barnyard manure will
greatly stimulate the growth Of the
grasses and add much latent fertility
for use of future grain crops. Put the
manure on the grass any time and all
the time.

Land Adapted to Irritation,

Approximately 4O.OOO.OOO acres Of
lands In western and southwestern
states are adapted to irrigation, which
If reclaimed at an average cost of $25
an acre, would be worth not less than
5000 an acre or total of $S,000.O .O00,-
900. and provide homes for more than
100000 persons. The economic value
of irrigation cannot be measured in
dollars and cents, but crops of from
$500 to $1,000 an acre are not rare in
the irrigated districts. There are al.
ready 100000 acres under irriga.
ton and the reclamation service es.
Inmates 1t will have reclaimed 2.0O0,.
900 acres. at a cost not exceeding 370,.

Dairy Stables whltewashed.

The dairy commissions are demand
ing that stables be whitewashed regu-
larly. While this may kill some dis
ease germs and will make the stables
look nice, it does not insure pure milk.
The COW must be healthy and fed on
wholesome food. This is more impor-
tant than whitewashed walls, cement
floors and the uniform of the man who
does the milking. Cleanliness is neces-
sary, but first of all the milk must be
pure when drawn from the udder.
