College VS.. Farm.

AS we farmers become better fixed
financially, the first thing that come
into our minds is to send boys and
girls off to college. The intention
is good enough, but the results are
bad as rule. The well-to-do far
mer proposes to do more for his sons
than his father did for him, and so
the boys and girls are sent out to
different colleges. His sons he be-
iieves, would make first class law
yers, or fill some of the other pro-
fessions successfully after they have
gone for four years to some high
priced college that has a good repu-
tation. Now the fact of the matter
Is, perhaps not one of these boys
We're ever intended for any profess
sion except that of farming and there
is where they belong. The rule is
that after a boy or girl takes one
course in college they have lost all
interest in farm life, and have their
minds set on the city and town life.
And so it transpires after they have
gone through with college, they are
done with the farms.-W. S. Ellen

Meat Makes Meat.

Japanese wrestlers are not to be
confused with Japanese exponents
of the jiu-jitsu. The wrestlers belong
TO the older school in which weight
is paramount quality. 1t is re-
markable thing that a race that is

of height. should have produced a
special cult of wrestlers that are
giants in stature and strength. The
leading wrestlers of Toxic or Osaka
or Hiogo, are all men of at least six
feet in height and weighing perhaps
800 pounds. They are race apart,
wrestling is an occupation which has
been handed down from father to son
for many generations. And the ex-

choice or necessity, have been in the

The Seed Bed for Cantaloupes.

Clear the field well of all trash
such as old weeds, stalks, etc. Then
plow to depth not to exceed six
inches, harrow we'll, both lengthwise
and crosswise of the plowing, then
level well with field drag, harrow

raise them on low, wet or gummy

too. We have often seen a field of

the old style musk melon. Some
even verged into the cucumber as
for shape, while there were few
fairly good cantaloupes in the field.
1t is very important to get seed from
some one who knows the real thing.
We are now ready for the plan
ting. This may be done in several
different ways. The field may be
marked crosswise with marks five
and one-half to six feet apart, use
a hoe, plant at the top of the fur
row, smooth a moe hill where the
mark crosses, plant from an inch
to an inch and half deep. then
make sure that the moisture per-
meates every hill without overflow
ing it. Another good way to plant,
and especially when troubled with
mice or other enemies, is to use an
ordinary beet seeder. Raise the two
wire, put the outside runners, or
drills. as far out to the ends of the
axle as they will work well with the
rows about five and half feet apart,
lengthen the markers corresponding
ly SO as to have the rows uniform in
width.
This way of planting requires
little more seed than hill planting,
but the grower is more than paid
in time and labor saved and almost
sure of a stand, regardless of mice
Use small furrowing shovels if de
sired, then enlarge with another fur
rowing plow, being careful not to
throw the soil so as to cover the
seed to deep. After the first Sriga-
ton, or when the plants are up.
transfer the burrows so they will be
on the same side of each row. When
the plants are two or three inches
in height, if planted in drills, cut
out with hoes and then leave good
healthy plant every eighteen inches
or two feet apart. If planted in
hills, never leave more than two
plants to the hill for the final stand.
Always remember when hoeing
and cultivating that the root sys-

keep it torn up like newly plowed
ground. Some growers furrow out
on both sides of the rows. but it is
better to water on one side all the
time, as the roots on that side have
been going out near the surface,
while those on the other have been
trained under the original furrow.
Always be careful in irrigating, not

Important Ruling on Desert Entries.


By ruling of vast importance to
the West. Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger has made it possible for
poor people to take
up desert land entries, and by the
same act has saved thousands of
dollars to those who have not yet
proved up on their entries.
The ruling was received recently
at the federal land Office In Denver,
where from 5000 to 1000 desert
land entries are on Ale. Hundreds
in COLORADO will be benefited.
Instead of having to cover their
entire entries with water, as pro-
vided in the past, the farmer will
now only have to cover one-eighth OF
the land with water before being
able to make his final proofs and
receive a clear title. This ruling re-
vcrses one of the same cases made
by w. s. Dennet. commissioner of
the general land Office.
In his ruling. Secretary Ballinger
gave instructions that a circular let
ter be issued outlining this ruling.
