a road that would defy time and sus-

Telford built more than 900 miles
of roads in the Selfish highlands. the
first that region ever had worthy of
the name, and though they have been
in use more than century, there are
no finer roads today in north Britain.
In connection with this work he
built 100 bridges. The result of his
labors was to bring lawlessness to an
end in the highlands and put that wild
section forward century in civiliza-
ton at a bound.
1t was not in road building. how
ever that Telford spent his best
years. He was the leading canal en-
gineer of his time in Europe, and was
also occupied with building large
bridges, docks and harbOrs of refuge
He built the Caledonian canal, be-
tween the east and west coasts OF
Scotland, noted for the character of
it's locks. which presented problems
considered well-nigh insurmountable
at that period.
The canal connecting the rivers
Mersey. Dee and Severn, on the Welsh,
border WAS another of his great
works In two places he was obliged
to carry the bed of the canal across
a valley which he did successfully.
the height in one case being 120 feet
above the bed of the gorge.
Another great work was his bridge
across the Menai straits in Wales,
built to facilitate travel to Hollyhead
on the route to Ireland
The bridge was on the suspension
principle, great chains being used to
carry it across the strait. The day
the first of these chains-weighing %
tons-was hoisted into place, friend
of Telford's sought out the engineer
to congrat ulate him and found him
on his knees. giving thanks in prayer
for his success He had not slept for
many nights.
Telfords life was sunny and happy.
He was the son of poor shepherd
and in his native town was known as
boy as Laughing Tom" He was
early apprenticed as a mason. His
taste for books and poetry helped him
in the first steps of hard earned
education.

place for wethers. When prices fol
mutton and wool are high wethers will
more than pay their way on almost
any range, but the profit they yield
compared to that from breeding ewes
is much less, and hence wethers are
being discarded by the more progress
sive sheepmen.
However, as mutton product weth-
ers are desired in the hotels, restau-
rants, dining cars and steamships
where the heavier cuts may be used
to advantage.
Prime wethers must be highly de-
veloped in form, quality and condition
and weigh from 95 to 125 pounds; how
ever, 'wethers weighing 40 pounds and
evenmore, frequently grade as prime if
all other conditions are right. This
class OF mutton is used for export, al
though there is some demand for it in
larger cities of this country.

PRINCIPAL ARID FARM CROP.
Wheat Is Now and Perhaps Always
Will Be Staple Article
Results in Seeding.

Wheat is now and perhaps always
will be the principal arid farm crop.
Fall wheat is always preferable to
spring wheat. From two to three
pecks an acre sown with press drill
gives better results than more thickly
sown grain. .Broadcasting grain is
not satisfactory in any way. During
four years of trial on the various arid
experimental farms in this state the
Turkey red wheat has given the best
yields of good quality wheat. 1t is
considered the standard of milling
wheats in the great northwest The
Koffoid wheat also is an excellent va
riety and during the years Of trial has
stood all the tests and yielded good
crops when most other varieties have
failed. 1t combines the qualities of
high yield, good quality, stiff straw,
does not shell easily and stands frost
and drought well. Other good varie-
ties are Winter Lasalle. Odessa, Gold
Coin, Blue Stem and Red Chaff. The
Durum wheats take the lead as
spring wheats. They are adapted to
grow in soil rich in plant food and in
climate that is hot and dry. Other
good spring wheats are Sonora and
New Zealand.

cuItivatlna the Reets.

Each cultivation of the beet crop
should be a little deeper than the one
preceding it. We believe in more cul-
tivation and less irrigation. Before
turning in the water the beets should
begin to show the need Of it. This
may be determined by watching them
in the afternoon of a bright, sunny
day. The leaves will wilt to a certain
extent, but will revive again at night.
When the tops wilt slightly in the
afternoon the bets are still growing
and are going down deeper into the
soil, which will give longer and better
shaped beets than when the moisture
is applied to the surface too often.
which goes to make tops instead OF
beets. Generally speaking, two irriga.
tons are sufficient and the last one
should be completed in time to give
the beets at least four weeks to ripen
and mature. the same as any other
crop.

WHAT "DRY FARMING" MEANS.
It includes Methods of Conservation
of Soil Moisture and Develop
ing Fertility.

The term dry farming" has been
popularized in recent years. In some
respects it is appropriate and express
sive and it has proper meaning in
solar as it refers to farm operations
in a country where it is SO dry as to
require special treatment. But it is
an unfortunate term. 1t does not have
a definite meaning. 1t has been loose
ly used. 1t has been abused and mis-
used, says Campbells Scientific
Farmer.
1t includes the methods of conser-
methods of maintaining or developing
fertility in the soil by certain use
of both air and water in the soil
which the farmer can and should con-
troll by mechanical tillage.
Dry farming" as the term is gen.
orally used, means almost anything
done to secure crops in dry country
More especially it is taken to refer
to common principles of tillage but
more thoroughly applied. Sometimes
it also refers to summer fallow. But
1t refers rather to what is desired OF
accomplishment rather than the meth
cd of doing it.
Now dry farming" is all right and
well enough in it's place. Everyone
seeking success through dry farm
ing" is engaged in doing better farm
ing, and that is good thing. Every
farmer who really tries to do better
farming will in fact get better results.
But the thought which is uppermost
in the minds of very many who talk
of dry farming is that by this pro-
cess sure crops are secured in all
ordinary seasons, with the chance of
failure in very bad seasons still facing
the plucky farmer Herein is there
vital difference from the real soil cul-
ture.
The dry farmer has taken part
Of the system of soil culture and has
made good use of it. They have &C.
complished great work. They have
opened the eyes of the world to the
possibilities of this semi-arid region,
Scientific soil culture includes not
only all that is done in the name of
dry farming" but more, for it con-
templates care of the soil from year
to year, and especially preparation of
the soil for the crop in the previous
year. 1t means keeping the soil in
right condition for the development
of available fertility and perfect plant
growth not only for this season but
for next season and afterwards.
