Dynamite for Tree Planting

Holes for tree planting, ac- 'cordiug to the Engineering Rec ord, have been excavated by the Long Island Railway by blast ing with dynamite. A hole about ? feet deep was first dug with a post-h hole auger at an angle of about 35 degrees with the sur face. and loaded with half a stick of 40 per cent dynamite. This shot makes hole about ? feet deep and 3 feet in diameter, leaving the earth in the bottom pulverized suitably for planting. It is stated that two men can thus excavate 250 holes per ten hour day at a cost of about T cents per hole.

Why Men Wear Trousers

No living man of this age ever deliberately chose to ''adopt trousers. He was forced into them and all other eccentricitieS of dress by woman. In the very earliest sartorial experience of every man he is swathed in queer bundle of iDcoherent band ages by a woman. Later she puts him into cute little dresses so that the neighbors can't tell him from his little sister. Still later she cuts off his cnrls and puts him into knickerboekers, and he puts on long pants when she gives the word and not be- fore. That is all that man has to do or ever had to do with wearing trousers. Woman fore ed him into them in the first place and now he is afraid to wear anything else for fear Of making a sensation.-Proyidence Journal.

the land, which has been fixed at &46 per acre, payable in not more than ten annual install ments, with no interest require ment. The settler also will Dc required to pay annually $1 per acre for the operation and main- tenance of the irrigation system.
 The engineering features are of unusual interest. Just below the junction of the North and South Forks the Shoshone river flows through a canyon of solid granite, with almost perpendicu lar walls several hundred feet high, in the narrowest portion of which the government is con- structing an impounding dam which, it is said, will exceed in height every other structure of it's kind in the world.
 It is 85 feet wide on the bot. tom and 200 feet long on tor, but it's height is 328.4 feet, or AS feet higher than the Flatlron building in New York. The res ervoir formed by this dam will cover an area of ten square miles to depth of 70 feet, and will contain sufficient water to cover 456, ,O00 acres of land one foot in depth.

Yuma San Diego Railroad
Work Being Pushed.

San Diego, June 11.-Grsding
 implements and various pieces of apparatus and equipment to be
 used in the work on the San
 Diego & Yuma Railway compa-
 ny's right of way on an extensive scale are arriving in the city
 thick and fast and being deliv- cred to the three grading camps,
 where dirt has been flying for
 the past week.
 Yesterday morning big steam shovel arrived and was sent down to camp No. 3 at Chula Vista. Fifteen dump cars which are operated on miniature rail way and drawn by dinky steam engines arrived Wednesday at camp No. 1, at the foot of Twen- ty-third street.
 Work is already we'll under way at all three camps and dirt is flying in great shape. At Chula Vista the graders have built a spur track from the Cor onado belt line to the scene of operations as a means of trans ferring the steam shovel and other pieces of equipment to the place. Gangs of men with teams and scrapers and blows have been preparing the ground so that the shovel can begin opera tions within the next few days.
 Dump cars will bein operation at camp No. 1 in about a week. The ears will be filled here with scrapers which will dump the dirt through an overhead trap. Steam shovels will take the place of the trap at the other two camps.
 Tbe right of way through the Mexican concession is being ob- tained as rapidly as possible. The first twelve miles out of Tia Juana has been secured. The balance of the distance of 42 miles is being obtained as fast as contracts can be made.
 Before the completion of the present contract for grading from San Diego to the Interna tionaI boundary is completed, dirt will be moving on the Mexi can side. From Tia Juana the survey approved by the Mexican government follows valleys, climbs mountain spurs and enters canyons for distance of about five miles from the United States line. At Campo the survey crosses over and ascends the Hayden summit, thence goes down into the CarrisSo canyon, and then over the Jacumba sum- nit to the desert on the way to Yuma. The route approved so far covers a distance of 90 miles to Jacumba.

The amount Of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area, especially at the tTanspIan ting time. One days team work in preparing the land and about 32 days, mems time, were required to bring it through, al- though tlle work was not heavy and could have been largely performed by boys.

Short Pasture Best for Pigs.

Keep the pasture short for young pigs, as fresh growth is the most easily digested, and tall pastures, when wet, often make the pigs have sore skins. Have two pastures and change from one to the other so that the pigs will always have clean feed.
 They need fresh, clean water always before them. If a we'll is not convenient the water can be supplied eheaply in barrels to which are attached hog water CTS. Do not water directly from a stream. It often crrries dis ease.
 If the pigs are lousy when weaned, dip them twice, ten days apart. Put rp short posts in the feed lots and pastures. Wrap tbese posts with old sacks and once a week satarate the sacks with crude oil or kerosene. The pigs will rub on these and  the oil will kill the lice-Colo~ rado Experiment Station.

TIMELY HINTS
 FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson Tn Intensive Farming by K Ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station
University of Ayizona,

Jdnudly1), IUi.
 Just west of Ynff,a, Arfzena. in tie ;,lsuvial food plain or the Colorado, lies aSlittle farm. of 7.2 acres which on May 1, lSt6, was virgin bottomland covered with saltweed, arrow brush and creosote bushes. Tne original purpose Of the tract was for plaiiting selected varieties Of date palms imported by the U. 5. Department of Agriculture from the Old World. The Experiment station. May 2 be- gan preparing the ground, and on May % the work of ievelling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN OF woRs.~
 Recognizing, however, that a farmer with his living to make mean time, caffnot afford 10 Wait for an 0rchard to come into bearing, it was planned to plant crops for quick re- turns between the tree-rowS, thus putting the work on feasible basis from the small farm ers point of view. In order to economiZe ground the irrigating borders were placed as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted The tract WAS divided by the borders into lands, for the most part One-half an acre in size. lrrigat!ng water from the Colorado Valley P. & l. Canal was obtained in the cus- ton1ary manner, and k. L.. Crane, himself a Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was nicknamed our play farm"
 In size, as we'll as in the intensive character of the work planned, this 'Esfrro is the .Op- pOsite Of the average holdings of this locality. The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa, corn, barley, and forages in general, com para lively little attention being given to vese- fables and fruits. W1thal, the cost Of leVelllng land in this region is high, rarely falling be- low twenty dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams. Moreover. the cOsS, ex- elusive of maintenance, of the Government arri4ating system now under construction will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items Of expense in connection with the establish nIent of a farm in this region, intensive cyops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly, therefore, an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general Situa- tiOn. that this cultural work Mla nlRnned.

 To bring this ground under cultivation and make it habitable for a small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required a cash outlay of about SiO000. In addition, in the average instance must be included a team, wagon. psow, harrow, beying eqnif,- Inent Shovels hoes and other small tools.

A COMET
Smith Observatory Astron-
omer Claims to Have Seen
a Strange King.

Geneva, N. y, May Am unus-
ual astronomical phenomenon which
had the appearance OF comet close
to the earth, was noticed at the
Smith observatory here, by DR.. Will
liam R. Brooks, professor OF astron-
omy at Hobart college. In report
ing his observations he says:
THE object was visible I'm the east
ern sky from to in the morning
II had the appearance OF a gigantic
naked eye comet, with n large
head and a tail OF enormous proper
tions. When first seen, the head was
in the great square OF Pegasus and
the tail stretched upward toward the
north star, at one time reaching the
chair Of Cassiopeia.
'"The motion was rapidly eastward
AT 2:30 a. M the head enveloped
the star Algenhb and by o'clock It
had reached the horizon Soon after
the tail was lost in the rapidly adj
vancing dawn.
Prof. Brooks thinks the phenomenon
may have been merely an unusual
manifestation of the aurora boreali3
but, if It was a comet, he says, II
must have been very close to the
earth.
