LIVE STOCK NOTES.

To supply hogs with a good pasture
is one of the most important points in
hog raising.
A successful hog grower must do
some thinking for himself after he
reads the writings of other hog grow
ers
The fertilizing value of manure
from farm animals stands in this or
der: poultry, sheep, hogs, horses and
cattle
Whether you are keeping sheep for
pleasure or profit, your desires will be
fully met if your flock is of superior
quality.
1t is a mistake not to grow the pigs
rapidly from birth to market. They
should gain every pound possible on
the way.
A strong sheep does not necessarily
need to be large one, in fact a ma
jority of the strongest sheep are me-
dunn in size.
1t is no more our mission to keep
the hogs healthy than it is to plan our
equipment so that they may keep
themselves so.
Some farmers sell their corn shelled
and others dispose of it in the ear, but
western farmers And it most profitable

SMALLER FARMS ARE BETTER
Fallacy for Farmer to Attempt to Do
Full Justice to- Large Tract Of
Irrigated Land.

There has been in the past a desire
on the part of the people to maintain
large irrigated farms. There are
thousands of farms in the west from
80 to 200 acres. No man can do full
justice to such a tract of irrigated
land. We are coming more clearly to
understand that from five to Is acres
are quite sufficient to maintain fami-
ly in comfort and to provide against
old age, providing, of course, that the
more intensive methods of farming
are used. This is one of the directions
in which the conservation movement
can be of tremendous value to the
development of the semi-arid regions,
says writer in Desert Farmer. The
people should be taught the best
methods of cultivation and the best
crops in order to obtain the maximum
returns for the outlay of time, money
and energy. 1t should be shown that it
is more satisfactory in every way for
a man to do the best kind of work on
a small farm than slipshod work on
a large farm. If the people can be
made to understand this, many thou
sands of families could be maintained
on the present irrigated section of the
west

the face is besotted leer and 1t seems as
though the spark of divinity which is in every
one had surely been extinguished men Of the
worst criminal type, low brutalized terrible
And we say to ourselves, turn these pages
When shall we realize that to deal scientifically
with such abject misery as this we must not
alone deny to these the freedom of the drink
shop, but should for the good of humanity
count them irresponsible lunatics and keep
them safely segregated for the rest of their lives
But there is another side of East London even
more heartrending, for as we walk those bleak
streets In the cold March wind meet again
and again the honest seeking work and find
ing none Never, probably, labor shorter
than at present. On all hands families are on the
verge of starvation and driven to despera-
ton, men who walk all day and return weared
and wan with the same terrible sentence on their
lips, mo job for me-" women crying for bread
not because they would not work could not.
but just because the bread winner can find no
employment.
And yet there CLEANS of brightness in this
life in East London which help us and cheer us
and make us realize that possibly by and by we
shall solve the great problem of by under
standing how it is the crucble of God In which
he can produce that which is likest to himself in
human souls we walk onward through those
dark and dirty streets and by and by we come to
a lodging house for women. No lower or more
degraded place can be found. Yet as we enter
there is woman sitting near the fire drinking a
cup of tea surrounded by group whose history
is written only too plainly upon their faces, and
as we enter we recognized and they tell us
how this poor soul has been nigh to the verge OF
death. She is expecting to go down into the
great Gethsemane OF suffering which shall bring
her perhaps another load OF sorrow which, were
1t not for the circumstances, ought to be wo-
mans greatest Joy. They found her on the

There is nobody who is better qualified to make
comparisons between restaurant conditions in Lon

METHODS OF DIGGING WELLS
NO Line OF Work IN Which Difficulties
Encountered Are More Variable
Patience Required.

Probably every person who has had
any experience in well construction
for irrigation purposes, has his owa
ideas as to how such work had best
be done. AS a matter of fact there is
probably no line of work in which the
difficulties encountered are more va
rlable or more frequently call for the
exercise of much Judgment, mechani-
cal skill and patience The number
of well drillers who make a good
profit at the work as a business is
very small and every man who under.
takes a well drilling contract except
in locations where the underground
conditions are already well known, il
assuming large risk. Where posi-
BILE to do so, however, it is generally
to the interest of the prospective own
er of the pumping plant to contract
with a professional well driller to
drive his wells, for the equipment
necessary is too expensive TO buy and
seldom can be borrowed besides
which the professional driller can fire.

suggestions, however, and a descrip-

of the equipment is a good sand

sand bucket is the most satisfactory.

treat Progress Made and Thou
sands of Acres Reclaimed.
Prof. +. n. Newell Tells Last National
Irrigation Congress Of Extent Of
Efforts to Add to Productive
Area of the Country.

Ihat great progress is being made
In irrigation work is known to all, but
few have any conception of the ex-
act extent of the work done In an
address before the last national irri-
CATION congress, Prof. F. H. Newell
stated that in the seven years since
the passage of the reclamation act
irrigation bitches have been construct
ed to water about 100000 acres of
land. He added:
This result of adding to the produc-
tive area of the country and the
building up of the highest type of
citizenship is brought about by the
expenditure of a fund not created by
direct taxation nor taken from the
pockets of other farmers. The fund
is derived from the proceeds of the
disposal of public lands acquired a
century or less ago and which have
been considered almost valueless.
These funds are expended in the con
suuct1on of reservoirs and canals, the
water from which is not given away,
out Is sold at rate sufficient to
repay the cost and to maintain the
fund undiminished.
1t must not be supposed that the
use OF this fund alone has brought
nRbout transformation OF many parts
Nof the arid region. While the gov
ernment has utilized this fund in
making homes in localities where
otherwise this would not have been
done, private capital has also made
great advances, and possibly at pres
ent five or ten times as large an in
vestment in the aggregate is being
made by corporations In building ir-
rigation works as Is being invested
by the government. Much of this in
vestment, however, has been made
possible, or at least has been slim
ulated by the government work The
fact. that the national government has
deemed 1t wise to take up the matter
has been one of the strongest argu-
ments to capitalists to do likewise
There is no competition as between
national and private funds, but rather
an attempt at all times on the part
of the government to stimulate legiti-
mate enterprise through obtaining
facts upon which investments might
be safely made and to avoid taking
up such work as could be handled
successfully by others. Looking back,
1t now seems probable that, if the
government had not begun work in
each of the western states, many of
the enterprises now successful under
private auspices would not have been
taken up, but on the other hand some
of the enterprises on which the gov
eminent is now engaged might, if left
dormant for several years, have been
entered upou by private capital.

RAISING Pork.

Raising and fatteniDr pork has de-
clined more than cent. in the
past five years because oil the develop
ment of the dairy industry. Fully 50
per cent of the milk is shipped away,
and there is no skinned milk to feed
the pigs. Farmers do not find 1t pre-
ferable to fatten pork at the present
prices of grain feeds. Cheshire hogs
and their crosses are all greatly in
favor with both the breeders and mer-
chants, as they are economical feed
ers. white skinned and excelled by
none in the quality of their meat.

Russian bronze grass has special
adaptation for northwestern condi-
tions. both in the northwestern states
of the union and also of Canada. This
grass is coarser than Kentucky blue,
and. therefore, not quite so highly pal
atable, but its sustaining power is
good, and some care is necessary to
keep 1t from thickening to such an ex-
tent as to hinder production.

Airing Poultry House

There are various ways of airing
poultry houses that many people make
use of, as ventilating flues, pipes and
air shafts, but the very latest and sim.
plest method is to allow the fresh
wholesome air to come through the
window unobstructed, except as il
comes through muslin screen. This
problem of sufficient ventilation with
out a draft has thus been easily
solved.
