TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson In Intensive Farming by
K II. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station
University OF Arizona,
January Is, 1907.

University OF Arizona,
January l5 1907.
Just west of Yuma, Arizona, in the alluvial
flood plain of the Colorado lies a little farm
of 10 acres which on May /, 1905, was virgin
bOttOmland, covered with saltweed, arrow
brush and cIeOsote bushes. The original
varieties OF date palms imported by the U. \.
Department of Agriculture from the Old
World. The Experiment station. May 2. be-
gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the
work of levelling, bordering and irrgating
the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was
completed.
THE PLAN OF WORK
Recognizing, however, that farmer with
his living to make meantime, cannot afford
to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,
it was planned to plant crops for quick re-
turns between the trce-rowS, thus putting the
work on feasible basis from the small farm
er's point of view. In order to ecOnOmize
ground the rrigating borders were SO placed
as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
size. 1rrigating water from the Colorado
Valley j. & /. Canal was obtained in the Gus
tomary manner, and 4. i. Crane, himself q
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our play farm.''
In size, well as in the intensive character
of the work planned this farm 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, compare
lively little attention being given to vege-
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling
land in this region is high. rarely falling be-
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover. the cost, ex-
elusive of maintenance, of the Government
rrigating system now under construction
will be about $3.50 an acre annually for ten
years. 70 meet these and other heavy items
of expense in connection with the establish
ment of q farm in this region, intensive crops
of more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly,
therefore, as object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general situa-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.

RECLAMATION OF THE GROUND.

The soil of our tract, n warm, sandy loanl

levelled, ditched aud bOrdered ut contract
price Of $l7.N an acre, considerably less than
the average for the locality, reckoning the
labor of men and teams nj current rates. In
addition, barDed wire and posts for fencing
cost SG0.l0; lumber fol heaagatcs cost $50. 81;
a drive well point and pipe, d pitcher-spout

days carpenterl lire, siJ275; and n brush-roof

labor employed in levelling, bordering and
ditching the ground, and for part construc-
tion of the house, Is included in the above
estimates as the common labor required or
dnarily would be, and in this case was, fur
nshed by the farmer himself
To bring this ground under cultivation and
make it habitable for small farmer and his
family, as stated above, therefore required n
cash outlay of about Si00.W. In addition, in
the average instance must be included d
team, wagon. plow, harrow, haying equip
ment shovels hoes and other small tools.

Lono Gloves Out of Fashion.

Glove lore reads in about the same
words from year to year, for the same
materials are used and the same col
ors. But this year the woman with
the slim purse may rejoice, for the
long glove of great price which every
one was bound to wear last year, has
diminished. and the length of sleeve
has grown so that now one may pur-
chase for a dollar pair of gloves to
be worn on any occasion.
The chamois glove, which sprang
into unusual use last summer, has lost
none of its popularity, but it now re-
appears in a far more satisfactory
form with one button. 1t is easy to
wash. quickly dried and comfortable
to wear. and even men are beginning
to realize this, for they frequently are
seen on masculine hands and in the
business district Chamois is Only
an ''undress'' glove material, like woven
silk and cotton, although it is one step
above these. One may wear chamois
gloves for shopping or for morning
visits. even if the gown be of foulard
Silk and cotton gloves are only prop
erly worn on shopping tours if the
frock be of plainest gingham.

LINE EYELETS WITH COTTON
Secret of Smooth Openings for Open
Borders So Popular in Ma
deira Embroidery.

Few women can work smoothly the
open eyelet borders so much seen in
Madeira embroidery. There is sure
to be roughness and unevenness
where one eyelet joins another, and
the general effect is spoiled.
The reason of this is that the work
is not properly done. An instructor
who had a number of natives from
the Island of Madeira exhibiting their
work in this country disclosed the Sc
cret of the smooth openings.
Each eyelet is outlined with cotton
in the usual way; is then slit, if the
shape be oval, and pierced if round,
and the edges turned back with a
needle This is as any one would do,
but in the working of the overland
over stitch lies the difference.
Instead of finishing each eyelet at
a time, as most of us would do, 1t is
worked halfway round on each side,
to where one opening joins the next
one. Then that eyelet is done in the
same way, and so on around the en-
tire outer line of the border. The work
is then reversed and the upper half
of the eyelets embroidered in the
same way.
With this treatment there is no I'M
evenness, pulling or ugly ridges
where the stitches meet, so hard to
avoid by ordinary method of working.

AFTERNOON WRAPS OF LACE
Black Spanish a Fabric from Which
Some Beautiful Designs Have
Been Made.

Often we hear the older woman ask:
What shallIget for an afternoon wrap?
Pongee is not dignified. l cannot
wear, the masculine ulster, nor are
the chiffon things becoming. What
shall 1 do?"
To this question one would first
answer: Lace" but to the next Ques-
ton Renaissance" would be very in
adequate. What kind of lace is dig
nified, handsome, yet not reminiscent
of parlor curtains?
Black Spanish lace, of course. Won
derful wraps are made of this beauti-
full fabric. Sometimes it is woven into
the proper shape for a three-quarter
coat and again it is scarf arranged
upon a foundation.
One of the loveliest wraps of the
kind was black crepe de chine, col
larless and straight of line. A Span
ish lace scarf was taken in at the
back, so that it fell straight over the
shoulders and was tied in a knot on
either side of the front, just below
the line of the bust. The ends were
spread and tackled, and the lace was
also tackled to a foundation at the
back, on the shoulders and around the
neck, but not too stiff1y. Could a
prettier coat be desired?

Double Up in Hosiery.

What next? Now the modish wom-
an has taken to wearing one pair of
stockings over another to produce the
very fashionable changing effect. Of
course both stockings are of the very
sheerest and cobwebby sort of thread
silk, and the under pair is usually of
a brighter color than the stockings
worn outside. Bronze over yellow is
a favorite combination; green over
blue gives a peacock effect; black
over green is very smart with green
parasol and black frock showing
green touches. 1t makes one think
of the ingenious young man who had
no wife to darn his stockings, but
always wore two pairs so that "the
holes would not come under each
other"

God DWELLING Within.

God dwelling within us is a life
within life, the dwelling of God in the
soul of man, the interior spiritual ex-
perience of a believing soul situated
in the midst of careless and carnal
world. Paul the Apostle speaks of
"the promise of life which is in Christ
Jesus" 1t is the blessed work of
Jesus Christ to make possible in the
hearts of men the beginnings of that
unearthly yet not irrational life which
shall have it's finest fruitages in eter-
nifty The mechanism of the outer
world may initiate life, the intellects
of men may seem to be very much
alive, the social life of the world
may run on at full tide, and yet, after
all, and more than all, must be sought
and cultivated that life within life
which is the gift of God through
Christ, and the glorious crown of
existence.

Couture Hint.

In this seasons dressing of the hair
an important point is the correct side
line. The hair must be drawn up rath-
er tightly from the temples. The
pompadour, when worn, is placed low.
In arranging the hair pompadour the
sides are carefully adjusted first, then
the pompadour. The back hair should
be divided in two parts and brought
up rather close to the head, but loose
enough to let the wave appear. The
hair is then tied a little below the
middle of the head and the Psyche
knot or puffs adjusted. In dressing
the hair after the pevailing modes
one should not skimp on the use of
hairpins, for upon their liberal use de-
ponds success.
