ADVANTAGE OF HOME cANNER
1t ExceIs Large Factory Because 1t is
Portable, Can Be Operated in
:al Orchard or House.

The beauty and advantage of the
home Gamer over the large factory is
that they are portable, can be operated
in the house, on the veranda, in the
orchard or berry patch, or under a
shade tree. Then, also, no one is in a
better position to put up first-class ar
ticle than the one who raises it. 1t
is taken fresh from the farm and
canned at once, before any chance is
given for decay, which is not always
possible in large factories. Then, also,
that carefulness and cleanliness which
is more characteristic of the home than
of the factory is a point of great i'm
portance, and one that is highly ap,
preciated by the consumer.

Build small Reservoirs.

The big rush of waters down every
draw, canyon and stream last spring
has demonstrated the practicability Of
land owners building small reservoirs
at different places on their properties.
There is scarcely a ranch but what
has suitable reservoir sites and with;
little labor at odd times, dams could
be built that would conserve not only
sufficient water to give an alfalfa
meadow located below, two or three
Obligations during the driest part Of
the summer, but It would also prevent
the waters running the growing crops
on the low lands. Nature had done
for man all that could be desired and
it only remains for him to take adyan.

4 Demand for Bacon Aous.

In meeting the demand for bacon
hogs the farmers should select some
one Of the breeds which produces a
large percentage Of lean meat. When
the pigs are young they should be
allowed to range far and wide, eating
alfalfa and the grasses, skinned milk.
buttermilk, oats and barley. Toward
the end Of the sixth or seventh month
when they are nearing the time for
market they may be fed some corn.
BY selling the pigs at this period IL
VIII be found that it costs less to pro-
sdlpe 100 pounds Of bacon which re-.
tails at 20 cents q pound Than 100
pounds Of mess pork worth 10 Or 10
cents a pound. ;s

Moles Friends Of the Farmer.

A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the 'stomachs of is. moles
caught in different localities but failed
to discover therein the slightest yes
tige of plants or roots; on the con-
trary they were filed with the re
mains of earth, worms. Not satisfied
by this fact he shut off several moles
in q. box containing sods Of earth on
which fresh grass was growing, and
small cage of grubs and earth, worms.
In nine days two moles devoured $40
white worms, 1913 earth. worms, rs
caterpillars and mouse (skin and
bones), which had been alive in the.
box. He next gave them nothing but
vegetables. s,In "a hours two moles
died of starvation. Another natural.
list calculates that two moles de.
stroyed 10000 white worms, or erubs.
in a single year. If this is correct it
is strong argument in favor Of null
itiplying rather than destroying the
moles. ...s-5s>4.is 800.

Importance Of irrigation Work.

The Importance of the irrigation
movement is indicated by the work
that has been done thus far. The
national reclamation act was passed
in 1902, At that time the govern
ment had title In 16 states to total
OF 600,0O0.000 acres of arid land, Of
which It was estimated sufficient
could be reclaimed to support SO, 900 900
people. With the projects now under
way, the reclamation service will by
1911 have made fruitful nearly 2,OO0,-
900 acres, at an estimated cost Of $40.
100000. There are 0,00O, 900 acres Of
arid lands susceptible to reclamation
by irrigation. 81

ROOTS Of THE SUGAR BETS
One Great Lesson to BE Learned ls
More and Better Cultivation
Deep at First.

Last year we began to investigate
the root system of sugar beets, be-
lieving that by SO doing we could
more nearly come to some conclusions
as to the methods of cultivation.
As soon as the small beet appears
above the ground, the top root has
attained length of three to four
inches; from this time on the growth
is very rapid plants one week old
have side roots two inches in length.
The top root grows downward con-
tinually unless it meets with some OBJ
struction, in that case it will either
grow sideways or become very
much sprangle rooted plant 1t must
be borne in mind that the main root
or beet cannot draw any nourishment
from the soil; this must naturally be
done by the small or fibrous roots
that are found on both sides of the
beet.
AS we pull the beets, we find the
tibrous roots very short on the ain
root; it was found, however, that
these small roots at the time the
beets are seven to eight weeks old
run as far as Is to Is inches into the
rows. Thus we found that by cult
waiting the beets too deep after the
seventh week we destroy great deal
OF the root system of the plant
The main root or beet itself appears
to have attained nearly all of its down
ward growth by the eighth week, that
is, after that time the growth in
length is very slow, whereas the ex-
pansion or widening out of the root
takes place.
In many instances where we cut the
main or top root of small beet of
two and three weeks of age the plant
made but very slow growth after such
cutting, or died entirely; where the
same operation was performed on old
er plants no serious results were no.
tlced. This in manner proved that
during the early period of the plants
life the top root is the root that aids
largely in supplying the necessary
food, after certain period this func-
ton is lost and the duties of support
ing the plant falls upon the flbrous
roots.
To cultivate properly we should de-
stroy as few roots as possible; this
then means deep cultivation in the
early stages of the beet's growth for
purpose of loosening the soil, and a
gradual shallow cultivation toward
the later part of the season.
We have often seen fields where
farmers irrigate in order to keep from
cultivating; there is a great difference
between the two; cultivation is not for
the sole purpose of destroying weeds,
but to loosen the soil so that the roots
may penetrate it more easily and to
get air into it. BY irrigating we OBJ
tain just the opposite of that which is
desired; we pack the soil and shut the
air from the roots.
The one great lesson that we must
learn more thoroughly than all else in
beet culture is more and better cult
walton; but not too late in the season,
as then we break too many leaves
from the plants and this is detrimental
for the best results.
