Cement Water Trough.

We have just finished making
a round tank or watering trough of
cement. 1t Is eight feet at the bot
tom and flares to eleven feet at the
top. 1 dug a trench six inches deep
and filed 1t with fine stone. Then
got some fine dirt and made a form
twenty six inches high. using a
guage on the inside of the form to
make 1t true. Heavy building pa
per was laid inside the form and
cement poured in When mixing
the cement. l used fifty shovels of
ssnd and two hundred pounds OF
cement I mixed 1t three times dry
and then wet 1t to stiff mortar.

thick, then put in the bottom, keep
ing the cement well tamped down a.

fourteen sacks of cement and one
and one-half loads of sand. The cost
in cash was SIS. I now have a tank
that holds thirty-three barrels of
water at half the cost of my old one
and the best of It is 1t is there for
all time. Freezing will not affect II

The Bend of the Blue Sky.

In the new age of homebuilding
and conservation, Colorado is to
hold a place of commanding inf
ence. Geographically the crest of
the continent, the physical crown
of the nation. it is the true cross
roads of the country where the lines
of east and west and north and
south transportation must cross
each other. Along the base of its
mountains runs the spinal cord OF
the nation. In all the world no
equal area is blessed with climate
so healthful, SO delightful for the
twelve months of the year. A land
where cyclones are unknown and
earthquakes never shake-where the
mountains are as stable as the
throne of God-where the skies
blue and the sun shines clear three
hundred days of the year.-Thorntor

Sheep Herds Barred.

The sheepmen of the Western
Slope are much concerned over the
decision of Chief Forester Graves.
to exclude sheep from the Uncom-
pahgre national forest reserve. The
officers of the Western Slope Wool
Growers Association received the
order of the chief forester Saturday.
Forester Graves announces that
his decision is due to complaints
received by his department from the
reclamation service. The officers
of this service say that the commun
lilies which draw their water from
the North Fork of the Gunnison
river would be endangered by the
grazing of sheep in the national
forest reserve. in which the North
Fork and the Gunnison have their
source.
The order of the chief forester
closes territory sufficient to Craze
10000 or more sheep. and the re-
striction will be serious restraint
on the sheep, men. 1t Is thought
that the complaint from the recla-
nation service had its origin in .
meeting which was held at Paonia re
Gently. At this meeting resolu-
ttOns were passed protesting against
the raising of stock in the forests on
the head waters of the North Fork.

1t is worthy Of note that during
two years previous to the one Just

a part of a. crop-it being "rest

shipped three hundred carloads.

Black Head in Turkeys.

There has been considerable loss
among turkeys in Colorado this fall
from black head. or what is scienti-
fically known as Entro-hepattis. The
name black head was given because
the head is supposed TO turn purple
when the turkey Is attacked by the
disease. This we have found not
always to be true. The name En-
tro-hepatitis was given on account
of the greater diseased areas occur
ring in the intestines and liver.
The disease is caused by the sim
gle cellel animal parasite called
Amoeba meleagridis. This germ or
protozoa. is taken to the body with
the food. or water. and becomes
lodged in the mucous membrane of
the caecum. or blind gut. Here 1t
produces thickening of the wall due
to inflammation, and, later. liberation
The liver becomes infected and the
infected areas, the liver cells, are
destr Dyed. In a turkey dead of the
disease, the liver Is enlarged up to
more than twice its normal size.
Over the surface will be noticed
whttish or yellowish green areas.
These represent the areas of dead
tissue.
Treatment: This consists prin-
cipally in preventing Of the spread
OF the disease. When = bird has de-
veloped the disease there is no
known cure. The premises should
be as thoroughly cleaned as possible
and all the rubbish burned. Then
disenfection as far as possible with
| five per cent solution of carbolic
acid, or creolin. Sick turkeys must
be isolated and not allowed to rum
around and spread the germs of dis
ease, and thus be the cause of
others becoming infected. As there
Is no known cure for the disease,
the turkey had better be killed and
the body cremated. Feed should be
given In troughs rather than thrown
on the infected ground. The water
ing troughs should be enameled so
morning and night. An intestinal
antiseptic should be given in the
water. One teaspoonful of dilute
hydrochloric acid to each quart of
water. or one teaspoonful of the
crystals permanganate Of potash.

Death in the Air.

One "bird-man" broke the tip
Of his wing while flying over Denver
last week and was dashed to death,
falling over 500 feet.
This was Ralph Johnstone, who
had previously won the record for
height in aviation. An aeroplane
ought to be made with a parachute
large enough to hold it up in case
anything breaks. In time 1t is likely
that some safety device will be in
vented which in part, at least. will
serve such a purpose.

To Protect Trees From AIkali.

How can protect young trees
from injury by alkali on .washo bot
tom where seep comes in? The Arst
thing before setting the trees IL
to grade the surface and leave drain
age bitches to carry of the surplus
water. II the alkali should come
up around the young trees take the
sides of tomato cans with the tops
and bottoms melted of and set them
as a collar around the trees imbed-
ded to within an inch of their
length in the ground with no dirt in
side. Then fill this space with Gyp-
sum and the alkali will not injure
the trees. The main thing is to see
that the irrigation is not too heavy
and that the drainage carries off the
waste.

INSTALLING EDEN
PUMPING PLANT

Receiving yesterday three Eclipse
centrifugal pumps, the Wenatchee
Realty company today began the in
stallation of the pumps on the Eden
tract in East Wenatchee.
The tract contains $50 acres and
was formerly called the Barringer
place. 1t is planted to fruit trees
and practically all of the flume pipes
for irrigation purposes are laid. The
installation of the three pumps and
the connection of these with the 40
horse power electric motor will en-
able this piece of land to be watered
at comparatively low cost. The
total cost for the improvements for
irrigation purposes thus far is lit
tie over $4,000.

victej had been sent to the peniten-

immature age. 1t is the purpose of
the state bankers association to get
statistics of all crimes against banks
such as burglary, forgery, obtaining
money under false pretenses and
making bogus checks. These Stats
tics will be used by the bankers of

financed the Cincinnati Southern

The road was built, under the d.
rectorship of five trustees appointed
by the superior court of that district,
from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, Ten
nessee, distance of 336 miles.
Later it gained control of several
shorter roads and with this leverage
was enabled to command the situa-
ton to such an extent that rival
roads were forced to enter Cincin-
natl. thus heralding a great victory
for the throttled commonwealth. The
Cincinnati Southern is now under the
control of the Southern Railway,
which gives the Ohio railway center
an outlet equal to all of the distrib-
uting centers of that section of the
United States. The city still derives
a large income from the investment
in steel rails and rolling stock.
