A Cod Liver oil Fiend.

man. II took cod liver oil. I had a
careless habit Of leaving the oil un-
scorked, and It began to disappear.
Some one was drinking It. There was
ia cod liver, oil fiend in the house. I de-
cided to. trap the thief" he went on,
gazing thoughtfully at his large white
feet. ''and mi night I purposely drank
two cups Of black coffee 50 as to keep
awake. Gentlemen, you win hardly be-
lieve what happened. The thief was a
rata big. sleek, fat rat. The oil. I
guess. had agreed with him. As l
watched him from the bed he leaped
silently on to the bureau. dipped his
tail in the bottle, lifted 1t out and
licked it clean, and then dipped and
licked it again and again till a good
two inches Of the oil was gone."-Ex-

Trees That Explode.

All lightning blasted trees explode as
overcharged boilers do. The fame Of
the lightning does not burn them up,
nor does the electric flash split them
like an! ak. They simply explode, over
charged, as may be a boiler with
steam. The lightning is conducted into
the damp interstices Of the trunk and
into the hollows under the bark. Its
tremendous heat at once turns all the
moisture in those cramped spaces into
steam. This steam in its Immediate
explosion blows the tree asunder.-

would suggest summer following every
two years."
Mr. Henick suggests that dry farm
ers in that district disc stubble after
harvesting and after heavy rainfall
when dry enough. "Plow ground
when good and moist, not wet" writes
Mr. Henick. "Soil below IL or 3
inches of mulch should form a close
mass, excluding air spaces, and there
should be a good connection between
plowed ground and the subsoil"
Mr.. Henick says a fair price for
land in that district five years ago
was $1.25 to SIS an acre, but today is
$12 to $40. He states that conditions
under which farming has been car
ried on this year have been rather un-
favorable, rains coming later than
usual, most of the land being new and
that which was undergoing second
year cultivation not having been prop
erly handled

in order to market any product to
the best advantage it is first neces-
sary to determine exactly how much
lie has to dispose of.
One of the most important and best
pieces of machinery needed on every
farm is a scale. Without the proper
means at hand losses are often hard
to determine. With a reliable scale
the feeding value of various stock
foods or grains can readily be de-
termined, making it possible to fatten
stock to the highest degree at the
least expense.
Every town has it's laws governing
weights and measures. The city in
spector prevents incorrect scales from
being used. The rural districts, how
ever, have no such protection, hence
it is essential that when installing
scale the farmer should select a good
one. Select a scale with national
and world wide reputation for accu-
racy and long lie.
1t costs just as much to install a
cheap scale as a good one. They both
require lumber, a pit, and labor. The
manufacturer of a good scale takes
pains to make every part of that scale
a credit to his reputation.
The manufacturer furnishes the
scale only; the purchaser must dig
the pit, supply the lumber and labor
to install it. 1t is therefore desirable
to purchase a high grade scale as
they are more easily put together and
more certain of giving accurate
weight.
1t follows from the above that it is
not wise for any farmer to buy cheap
scales as results are uncertain. We
would recommend that pit scales be

Scales on the Farm.

The farmer of today ought to be
as far ahead of the primitive methods
of farming as the present day manu-
facturers are ahead of the old time
methods where hand work was large
ly used.
The manufacturing cost is reduced
and the finished product improved
by the use of modern labor saving
machinery Not only is the speed of
manufacture increased and the cost
greatly reduced, but the manufacturer
watches carefully every possible leak
or chance of error in the. conduct of
his business. The natural progress
of civilization requires that old meth
DDS be laid aside and new ones taken
up as we proceed to higher stage of
development.
Farmers of this country have not
been slow to appreciate the great
benefit they might derive from the
National and State Experimental Sta
tons and Agricultural Colleges. The
science of farming once scoffed at is
now a recognized factor in the de-
velopment of our farm lands.
The farmers have equipped them
selves with modern machinery not
only to cut down the cost of produc-
ton and labor, but to increase the
productiveness of the land and to
enable them to accomplish greater re-
suits without greatly increasing the
man labor.
However, the farmer receives no
return from his labor or investment
until his products are marketed, and

to pitless scales. The additional pro-
lection from errors and inaccuracies
is we'll worth the difference in cost.
Fairbanks Scales have been manu-
featured for over eighty years, they
are advertised in this issue, and the
manufacturers will send literature to
interested parties.

GOOD CROPS FROM SOD ON DRY
FARMS IN THE VICINITY OF
LAS VEGAS.

BILLINGS, Montana, Oct. 7-(Spe-
ciaD-"We are getting remarkable re-
suits this year from potatoes grown
on sod' writes George A. Fleming,
secretary of the Commercial Club of
Las Vegas, new MeXica, land we at
tribute it largely to the knowledge of
Mr. Henick." Mr.. Fleming has for
warded a statistician's report made
out by w. H. Henick of East Las
Vegas, to the secretary of the Dry
Farming Congress which will hold it's
fourth session at Billings, Montana
October 1928. This report will be
incorporated in the statisticlan'S re-
port to be presented at the coming
session of the Congress and published
in the second Handbook of Informa-
ton which will contain the official re-
port of the proceedings of the fourth
Congress.
Mr.. Henick, who is a potato expert
says there are about 1000 acres OF
dry land under cultivation in San
Miguel county, New MeXica, and about
100000 acres possible of development
under dry farming methods. The alti-
tude is about $3.50 feet. The average
annual rainfall for ten years govern
ment records) is about Is inches, the
maximum falling from May to Octo-
ber Dry farming methods and irri-
CATION are used in combination in the
district and annual cropping is prac-
ticed. Mr.. Henick says
81 consider dry farming satisfac-
tory from experience. Dry farming
has been tested for ABOUT three years,
but not fully scientifically. The crops
grown most successfully during the
last three years, mostly below aver
age rainfall and on new land are
wheat, oats, barley, spelts, sugar
beets, potatoes, turnips, millet, cane,
Kaffir corn and Indian corn. From
two years observation of results of
deep or shallow blowing, l consider
medium blowing, four to five inches,
the best. Horticulture is attempted
in a limited way and the showing is
good, considering the method of cul-
tivation and care. Alfalfa on expert
mental acreage makes good showing.
The maximum yield of spring wheat
recorded is 25 bushels an acre and
the minimum bushels. Oats range
from 7 to 35 bushels and potatoes
from "a to 120 bushels. l seed 30
pounds of wheat, 25 pounds of oats
and $50 pounds of potatoes to the
acre, pillow four to seven inches, de-
nending upon conditions and harrow

ADOPT PLANS

AT the meeting of the land owners
in the new Gem Irrigation district,
held at Homedale Saturday, the re-
port aof the committee was adopted.
The committee, consisting of Messrs.
L. B. Cowan, C. S. Davis and Estes,
after a thorough investigation, recon-
mended the gravity system. The pro-
posal is to store the water of the
Owyhee river in a reservoir located
below the mouth of Jordan creek, with
a capacity of !, 100000 acre feet of
water. From this point the water is
carried in the Owyhee river to a
point of ndiversiOn about 40 miles
above Nyssa. From thence it is con-
veyedl in open ditch to its point of
usefulness. The system is entirely
one of gravity and therefore of least
cost of maintenance. The water is
abundant and ample. The cost of this
system is a-knowna quantity--it is $50
per acre, with maintenance charge
of fifty cents per acre per year. Alb
solutely no money will be due or pay
able until he water is here ready for
use.
Mr.. Speer, representing the Owy.
shee Construction Company, and the
Trobridge-Nivers Co. stated that the
former would undertake to deliver
from 2 IL acre feet of water to
acre gfeet;, and that the latter com
pany was ready to buy the bonds
Work will begin within 60 days after
the contract is signed. The acreage il
the new district is 32,047. There
is in the territory west of Succol
creek 10000 acres more and in tn
Wilson and Enterprise Sections an
other $4,000 acres, all in the state o
Idaho, which can come in by petition
to the board of directors. and in al
probability will do so.
