The soil for the apple orchard must
be thoroughly drained. 1t will not do
to let the water stand about the roots

Apple trees do best at distance of
two rods each way, unless it is a va

Placing a small heap of rich stable

TEN DRY FARMING COMMAND
MENTS

Some one In the semiarid section
Of the west has formulated il set Of
commandments SUPPOSED 10 be help
full in achieving the largest measure of
success in dry farming operations.
While the injunctions are not sup
| posed to be all inclusive Il casual in
spcction of them shows that they are
of sufficient practical bearing SO that
every dry" farmer might we'll cut
them out and tack them upon his sta

ctptions the principles SuYtcSt. i
would be quite TO the point if tonoW, +!

rainfall Is sufficient. The ten com
mandmcnts are as follows: ii Thou

clover and alfalfa every few years
1Op Thou shalt keep live stock. Deep
blowing and keeping the surface soil
loose and finely pulverizcd are based
on the well known fact that such lay
er of soil Is in effect reservoir in
which moisture is to be stored and
that this supply OF moisture from win
ter rains and SHOWS can be best
caught and held by maintaining Il
loose and fine pulveriZed blanket of
surface soil. Adding organic matter
to the soil means, in other words. APP
plying homemade fertilizers. which
presupposes the keeping of stock,
which is pertinent in all sections OF
the country, whether the rainfall be
seven or seventy inches. Without
ditch water, clover and alfalfa cannot
be grown in many sections, but wher-
ever possible the injunction is one
that should be carried out, for both of
these plants are soil enrichcrs. The
command to grow corn every three 10
five years Is hardly applicable TO
strictly dry farming conditions though
fair degree of success may be had
where there is an annual rainfall of
fifteen inches.

For those who may not have had the
fact brought to their attention it may
be of interest to know that, while one
may sell REIMBURSEMENT of his claim
to a homestead, such sale does not con-
vey title to the purchaser, but merely
gives him first chance to enter the
claim as homestead. In case one
does thus sell he forfeits thereby the
right of entering another homestead,
but he does not lose this right if he
simply abandons the claim and allows
the title to revert to the government.

ALFlLARIA AS A FORAGE PLANT.

The Arizona experiment station has
Of late been making Il study of forage
plants as Il means of restoring tie
Overstocked range or increasing the
forage production Of grazing areas OF
the plants tested atilaria, also called
filaree or pin clover, is given first rank.
The plant Is Il native of the Medlter-
ranean region and seems to have been
introduced into California by the Span
ish explorers. 1t has spread since that
time into practically all of the extreme
western states. where mild winters are
the rule and where the fall and winter
precipitation Is sufficient to insure ger
mination and growth. There are some
eight species growing Ill the United
States, three of which are native to the
Pacific slope. OF these the most val
liable and the one which has spread
over the territory mentioned is the red
stemmed alflaria. scientifically known
as Erodium circutarium. During the
winter the plant forms many leaved

bearing purple blossoms. are thrown

pounds are required per acre, the cost
of the seed being 81 per pound. Alfilaria
will produce one and one-half tons Of
hay per acre, and in the tests by the
Arizona station it was found to con-
tain 2.22 per cent more water, 1.31 pei
cent more ash, 1.SS per cent more pro-

Al per cent more fat than bright al

peats the process. Sometimes this Is
done three times, and eventually the
eggs are laid in an excavation within

Construction Sends for More Men
Experiencing Much Difficulty
With Sand and cribbing is Necss-

Ditch.

Supt. Hammer in charge of the
construction of the sewer for Bard
sen and Co., of Butte has been fore
ed by the scarcity of local labor to
send for more men and has placed
an order in Butte for twenty more
men. He fully expects to have fifty
men at work by the latter part Of
the week. In speaking of the prog
ress made he stated: I'VE have
been having vastly more trouble with
the work than what we anticipated
and than what our tests showed us
before we bid on the work. So far
we have had to crib every foot Of
ditch and are beginning to believe
that this will be absolutely necessary
for almost the entire job. For the
last ten days we have been working
in sand of a quality that was Just
barely held out by the timber crib
bing as it was so dry and fine as to
sift in through the cracks and cave
in below the cribbing filling the
ditch. We will rush the job just as
rapidly as possible and l have al
ready sent to Butte for twenty men
and expect by the latter part Of the
week to have fully fifty men at work.
