Local Option at the court house on
Tuesday evening. May 18th. Judge
w. A. Covington is to be the speaker.
The population of the United
States is about 94.424,423, a gain
of over 100000 since 1900. At
this rate of increase we will soon be
crowding some nation out of first
place in point of population.
After Judge Covington had
spoken for an hour and half to
a great Anti-Saloon League conven-

him to close, but applauded and
cheered, and he continued forty
i've minutes longer.

not use set lines only between June

fined them 500 each and cost; as
they had no money, they were sent
to Jail; they afterwards paid their

"A curious instance Of the opera
tion of the law in New York State
recently occurred. A farmer was
prosecuted for selling milk contrary
to law, which provides that no milk
shall be sold containing more than
80 per cent. water and 12 per cent.
solids. At the trial it was proved
that the milk was sold just as it
came from the COW. Now the Court
of Appeals decides that was no de-
fense, and the defendant was as
guilty as though he had poured wa
ter into the milk. According to this
ruling a dairyman must know his
cows are producing what is legally
termed milk.-Exchange

FOOT OF ALL GROWTH.
What the Middle West Knows About
the "Dry" Process,

What the Middle West Knows About
the "Ory" Process.
DRY farming is a misnamed science.
It is a recent discovery and is being
,aught TO the new settlers in the mid.
die west and i'm Colorado. To those
who know nothing of it the idea may
be described as farming by conserv-
ing natural moisture. The new set
tiers learned that there were copious
rains in the fall. heavy SHOWS in win
ter and rains in the spring again. If
this moisture, which ran off into swol.
len streams with the coming of spring,
could be conserved to the growing
crops the desert might yet be rejuve-
mated, and so they set to work.
The great farms were plowed ten
and twelve inches deep. They were
narrowed fine In the fall, and the rain
was allowed to settle In the suDsoil.
In the spring they were cultivated
again. these 10000 acre farms, and
they were left standing to absorb mOis-
ture for a year, with constant cultivat-
ing to help the moisture retention.
The second fall the seed was put in.
and the new rains and snow and
thaws brought out the spring wheat
thicker and greener than ever. But
what of the bliStering suns Of sum-
mer? The new farmer prepared fer
them by blanketing his land to keep
the sun from drying out his subsoil.
For this purpose a dust mulch was
spread owe all the sOwed land. The
rays Of the sun were reflected by it
and underneath the moisture nOur.
ished the roots of the wheat. though
the tops were dry.
The experiment succeeded, and the
country had been proved good for
something anyhow"
This mode of scientific conservation
Of the moisture has been the ROOF of
all growth. Through it alfalfa, with
its stout roots digging far down to the
subterranean springs, has been made
possible. Through it the first sugar
beets were grown.
These are. to be sure. vastly separa-
bic products, having to do with dis
tinCt industries. Alfalfa means cattle,
and sugar beets mean sugar mills and
towns. Alfalfa came first. Then corn
came. and then the cattle were intro
duced anew.
Now all through these regions are
great ranches where hand fed and fat
tened cattle are p~roduced-not the
gaunt range steers of Texas, but fat
cottIp rp0dV for the market and com
handing top prices.

COAL HEATER.

sron. If the burning surface is much
larger the heat produced is too great
and the beneficial results are lost.
These heaters will burn from three to
five hours without reflling. In plan
ming to protect the orchard in this
way Colorado growers are using 100
OF the oil pots per acre. 1t probably
will not be necessary to use this en-
tire number except in exceptional
they think it is a better plan to be
ready. But for light frosts perhaps
half Of this number will be lighted at
first; then as they burn out the other
portion may be used. In this way the
work Of reflling can be accomplished
without difficulty.
Common forms of crude petroleum
are not satisfactory, for the reason
that when the oil and pots become
hot the oil boils over, causing much
waste and loss OF heat. Growers find.
however. that what Is known as gas
oil is fairly free from this trouble. and
II is the form they are now using in
SOlOEduO. II udS also Deeu ueUlOU-
strated that coal pots will answer the
purpose just as well as oil. but
whether they will be as efficient in
practice remains as yet to be seen.
Colorado coal is semi-hard. lights al
most as easily as wood and is there
fore quite different from anything that
is found in the east.
or course the conditions of climate
in Colorado are very different from
those found in the east. and it may be
that the western methods must be
ymodiied, but there would seem to be
no reason why something of this kind
might not be devised which would be
practical in protecting truck crops.

Late Irish potatoes can be planted
In July. No potato crop yields more
bOuHtifully than the late Irish potato
crop when thu months of August and
September have a good rainfall. In
fact, n good soaking rain the first
part of September will insure a good
crop Of potatoes. The fall grown pO-
tatOes are much more prolific and
freer from a strong and Oftentimes
acrid taste than those grown in the
spring. a frequent practice among
potato growers and a very injurious
n to potatoes is to put strong, fresh
stable manure In the furrow when the
potatoes are dropped before covering
them with pillow. Such an application
not only produces scab on the pota-
toes, but often makes them waxy, i'm
pairing their flavor and reducing their
quality for the market and for home
consumption as well.

Elm Has a Cancer,

The famous Bertram elm in Salem,
Mass. has a cancer. 1t was noticed
for some time that no cavities showed
on the elm. This was proof to the eX-
perienced eye that there was decay in
side the tree.
An investigation showed that the elm
had a cancer on the inside, which, if
allowed to grow, would kill the tree
in a few years. IncisiOns were made
and portions Of the inside were found
to be punk. Tiny roots had begun
spreading inside this growth. Efforts
are now being made to remove the can

This elm is famed for its size and
beauty. The trunk measures twenty
sever feet in circumference, and it's
age has been reckoned as 100 years,

WASTE OF TIE FARMER.
Agricultural Refa' p, the Most Urgent
of MoGern Problems.

Agricultural Rsfa'o, the Most Urgent
of MoGern Problems.
Geurgc Z. Powell recently wrote "a
letter on The Farmers Wastefulness''
which was printed in one of the Secu-
lar dailies. He declares that the most
urgent problem before our nation to-
day is not the tariff, but the proven
ton of the great w~astefulness in agri-
cultural methods that occurs every
where in the United States and the dis
semination of scientific information
that shall lead to soil restoration and
Improvement" The proposition is ir-
REPUTABLE.
Responsible authorities have estimat-
ed the amount Of the food bill Of the
American people at a little more thar
$4,000, 100000 a year. That both the
first cost and the retail price Of most
Of the articles on the list could be and
should be materially reduced there can
be no question.
AS Mr.. Powell declares. very few Of
our farmers have even a vague notion
of the cost Of the products. The max
ers Of farm implements. Of clothing,
Giles bought by farmers, know to the
fraction of a cent the cost Of the mer-
chandise. There are and there can be
no wasteful or h~aphaZard methods in
manufacturing or in commercial bust
ness. The inevitable penalty of indif-
