the water, set the onions sets in
covering slightly with dry earth.
If the ground needs water be-
fore the onions are large enough
to ditch beside, which they will
nearly always be, you can turn
the water down the row without
any trouble.
For beans and peas spade the
ground up four spades wide for
the bed and make the rows the
proper width apart. The idea
of leaving the unspaded ground
between the rows is for walks,
from which to tend the beds and
gather the crop. 1t also leaves
the ground for the next year
idle. but wet all the time. Re-
member that land watered from
we'll needs twice the FERTILIZER
that land watered by rain or
from rivers does. Remember
another thing, and that is where
land is irrigated it must be culti-
vated. There IS no quicker way
to kill a garden than to turn
water on it and let it lie without
stirring as soon as it is dry
enough to work. Remember
that weeds have long roots and
will use more water by twice
than the crop, so that if you
succeed the ground must be kept
clean. But while working the
ground, if you manage right you
can keep the water running all
the time so that there is no time
lost in the actual work irrigating.
Pay no attention to what time of
day you turn the water on. Only
be there and see that it runs
evenly, and is taken off as soon
as the row is wet down. We
will answer any questions which
are pertinent to gardening by
we'll irrigation which has come
under our experience. We have
never tried to cover wide range
of varieties of graden vegetables,
Therefore can'tgive information
as to varieties only such as we
have tried.

By 4pequest'of horse owners OF
the county we publish synOp-
sis of the law relating to the ex-
animation and registry, certit-
cate and posting of certificate
,of breeding and s@undness of
every stallion kept fOz' service
The law provides for the ex-
animation of each herse by the
state veterinarian or his deputy
1t also provides that this certif-
cate ISSUED by said examiner,
shall be posted in conspicous
place on any stable where the
horse is kept. A certificate
showing the breeding of each
CROSS bred horse 4or common
horse must likewise be posted
the same as the pure bred horse.
The cost of the license and ex-
animation is $500 and the aine
for each offense in violation of
the law IS fixed at not less than
$1,000 nor more than $50 90. 1t
looks to us that the oourt wOuid
consider each day the horse IS
kept without the posting of the
certificate herein provided for
separate offeEse and assess a
fine accordingly. The best and
cheapest way is to have the
horse properly certified. Con-
suit the statute and be safe.
The law is good one and be
sure that the owners of certified
horses will complain of those not
certified.

Harry Hayden and Family Home

Harry Hayden, wife and son
arrived home Thursday, from
an all winter pleasure trip to the
coast. They had very enjoy
a Die outing, took time to see the
sights and visit with relatives
and friends.
They liked the country as a
resort, or to live in if one is fixed
to live there. But California is
a rich mans country. They
we're pleased with all of the
country visited but particularly
impressed with the grandeur OF
the mountains and the semi
tropical climates and products
of the coast district of Cali
fornia. AS most tourists do,
they, while at Los Angeles. made
a visit to Catalina Island, a three
hours ride from the docks at
Los Angeles. Mrs. Hayden inn
mediately they struck the roll of
the Pacific became sea sick.
However Harry was born and
raised in sight of the stormy
Atlantic and the Pacific seemed
mild to him, Their friends
we're greeting them with the
glad hand and we did uot have
time to learn much of their trip.

A SheE4 Pleasure Trip.

Last Saturday an imprOmptu
pleasure trip was INDUCED in by
Mrs. B. F. Leach. Mrs. Bren-
neman and Miss Elsie Marshall.
The ladies' left artesian, in Mr..
Leache's auto in the morning
with Mr.. Lynn Leach at the
wheel. The route followed was
up the valley past Emmerson's
grove and the other pleasant
places of the valley by W1burn,
and on over the divide to the
Mulberry passing the fine farm
homes on the Arkansas river
bottom south and west of Dodge.
The ladies' thoroughly enjoyed a
short stay in Dodge, and the
meeting of friends, when the re-
turn journey began. They
reached home that evening well
pleased with the events of the
trip. Yes we inquired carefully
and we're solemnly assured by
one Of the party that the Office of
the Probate Judge was not Wis
tied, nor any minister of the
gospel called on professionally.

Mr.. HaaAoway has just com.
pleted a complete system Of
plumbing in r. Il. Worman's s
farm residence just east OF
Meade. r. T. has had this done
for service, without respect to
cost. and it is said to be perfect.
The water supply comes from
an elevated tank and one set of
piping carries cold water TO
every room in the house, while
another connect with a pres
sure reservoir on the kitchen
range, thus giving a supply of
hot water to each room. The
bath room is supplied with every
arrangement to insure comfort
and perfect sanitation. Again
we ask, does it pay to farm in
Meade county? Well It has
paid Worman, for he has earn
ed all that he has including the
farm, by farming in this county.

RETIRED MEADE COUNTY
RANCH NAN ENJOYS LIFE
A Letter FROM n. 0. : DANKS
Mr.. Danks is Taking Life Easy
m California.

We are taking this method to
answer all our home friends i'm
quiries about this country, CHI
mate etc. AS we ascended the
ridge on the east side grade all
was winter, ten inches of sRow,
until noon. That was in Jan
uary last. AS we came down on
this side toward Sacramento,
everything began to have the ap-
.pearance of spring; farmers at
work preparing land and plant
ing small grain. Most small
grain was already planted, and
in some cases up, trees in full
leaf, pastures green and further
along ifruit trees IN full bloom.
In fact hve hours ride took us
out of winter into spring. Itihas
been spring ever since to rus.
Still'they tell us it has been an
exceptionally ooid winter. 7Or-
anges have beea chilled so bad
ly that they are almost worthless
in some cases. Thechilled Dnes
are.Said to be unhealthy. How
ever they are selling them ito the
tourists, who can't tell frosted
Yoneafrom a good one. AS they
putit here, they sellto.the tourist
what they can't ship. But the
association men who assOrt the
fruit for shipping can tell "a
frosted one as soon as they see
it. We have noticed the associa-
tion packing hoHsesalonga ali lines
of railroads, but have never been
income. The oranges are assort-
ed as to size by machinery, also
polished. On the birthday an
niversary of the Father of our
Country we passedoTer the South
ern Pacific line to Pomona, 35
miles, which was nearly one con-
tinuous string of orange groves.
We must own that we formerly
had a very vague idea of that
business and the trees on which
the fruit grows. They are more
bush than tree, limber from
the ground up, Mnch of the
fruit on the lower limbs rests on
theground while many of the
upper branches weue held off
the ground, or from breaking
with the load of fruit with props.
To look along the rows, many of
them at right angles with the
track, rows so long that at the
farther end they seem to merge
into one Such deep green fdE-
age with the large golden frult
peeping out from among the
green leaves like large round
eyes was "a sight good to aook att
and picturesque. One mast see.
it for themselves to fully appre-'
ciate It, The oranges groves
are all irrigated, some by food
ing the entare surface, others by
lines of tile under the ground.
Some / could not make out the
method, nor just how it was
done. There appeared opposite
to, and about three feet from
the base of each tree, a tile pro-
tuding from the surfacd of the
ground, some smaller, some
larger and extending about six
inches above the surface. Wheth-
er they are filled with water
through hose, or for what
purpose or by what method the
water IS conveyed to them we
could not learn.
Some one surely has a lot of
work to do, but all irrigation
means work. In fact the whole
orange business is work. They
sow in the fall some crop which
is plowed under for fertilizer. !

have run a small market garden
here since the spring of 1887,
and will give you few words of
advice on the subject from our
experience.
First haul out on the patch de-
signed for the garden plenty of

not fenced from the poultry
fence it. Now buy from some
merchant who advertises such
goods sufficient 18 to "a ounce
duck to make the hose needed to
deliver the water at the head of
the farthest row of vegetables
from the water supply. Get
brass tubes one inch in diameter
and four to six inches long to
use for couplings, draw the can
vas over the tubes tight and
mark sufficient for good seam
then cut the material into the re.
quired widths sewing the strips
together so that the hose will be
in II, rs and so feet lengths. OF
all in IS foot lengths. Now on
the sewing machine with heavy
thread sew the lengths of can
vas into hose seeing that at each
end it fits very close over the
tubes. Afterit is sewed, over
cast the edges with ravelings
from the canvas. Now place
one of the brass tubes in one enc
of each piece of hose and ther
, paint it well the whole length

dark color with good paint
White is not good for the eyes
but the white lead is good paint

much ground as you wish to util-
ize for onions leave two spade
widths and repeat, till you have
sufficient ground for your needs.

P.S. 1t may interest you to

to Ogden, and Salt Lake, Utah.

CO, stopping short time at each
place. AS this is our first trip
through the mountain regions,
and it is all so wonderful and
grand its description is beyond
our powers. However we will
try to describe the ride, in part,
from Grand Junction to Ogden,
as it was a daylight ride. Such
grandure as there is in nature,
coupled with the great works of
man. The road is built some
times at the bottom of the valley.
