Chicken Food Is Most Important


TN THE east, white diarrhOea has
caused the loss of more chickens
- than any other disease The cause
is laid to incubatOrs, brood, feed, herit-
age, etc, but white diarrhOea is a
germ disease and should be treated as
such.
If hens are busted several times while
setting with a good insect powder it
will do much TO help her retain her
vigor and condition. Besides, it will
keep the young chick from being too
severely handicapped by being heavily
infested with 4Ice-
1t Is advised by a successful poultry
man TO feed young chickens first on
grit and charcoal and bread crumbs

two days chick feed is given, and in
a week they are provided with sand

Starting Shade Trees In Southwest
T7REES planted for shade or orna-

T7REES planted for shade or orna-
ment in the southwest are COM
- paratively few. In the cities and
towns where the water supply is not
such an uncertainty, shade trees of
many descriptions are doing we'll but
go into the country or on the ranches
and note the unsettled, transient APP
pearance given the houses by the lack
of trees or shade.
People who do not expect to become
permanent settlers seldom care to so to
the trouble of starting trees Others
who have recognized their value have
had them die from lack of knowing
how to start and care for them, or have
lost the trees through failure of the wa
ter supply. There arr many trees be-
sides our well known cottonwood and
china berry that do well, as one can
easily see by visiting the parksl and
residence streets of Ell PasO and the
grounds of the New Mexico Agricultu
raj college. Prof. Garcia, professor of
horticulture gives the following hints:
Soil Important.
THE soil has much to do with the
success of shade trees. Should it be
too sandy or gravelly, or deficient in
plant food and apt to dry out easily,
the hole TO receive the tree should be
made large and filled with good loan.
II the SOIL IS heaYy ADOBE, II Is well 10
mix good loan with ii before planting
the bottom of the hole should be soft
to allow the roots to penetrate easily,
and the hole should be large enough not
to crowd them. In a good soil, for a
tree 4 to feet in height, a hole 20
inches in every direction should be
large enough.
I'm setting the trees, spread the roots
as naturally as possible and firm the
earth about them well. All broken or
dead roots should be removed or trim
med before planting the tree, and it
should be set an inch or two lower in
the ground than it grew in the nursery
in order to allow for the settling of the
soil from irrigation.
Deaths Due to Lack of Water.
Most Of the failures in starting
shade trees have undoubtedly come
about through the insufficiency of wa
ter. If the tree is irrigated Immediate

mites, spray with a solution of three
parts kerosene and one part crude car
bolfc acid, or apply with a brush. The
treatment must be repeated after a few
days to kill those recently Matched, then
continued at intervals during the year.
To cut down the number of chicks that
die in the shell, ii is recommended that
hens be kept free from lice, given plen-
~ of green food and not OvercrOwded:
that the eggs incubated be fresh and
given sufficient moisture. 1t has been
found that three weeks is the limit for
eggs to be kept if Matched by hen and
ten days if put into an incubator.

single irrigation is of more interest.
The average cost Of pumping an acre
foot, or 1850 cubic feet, or 326, 700
gallons of water, of six plants tested
not including the deep mesa well, was
S5-45, which takes into account the
attendance, fuel. lubricating oil, de-
probation, interest and taxes.
Ascertaining Cost.
Therefore, if we wish TO ascertain
the cost of applying an irrigation of
say three inches of water upon an al
falfa crop, it is only necessary to di-
vide s5-45 by 4, which gives S1.S6. as
the approximate cost Of the irrigation
of one acre. There are some instaIa-
lions naturally, that deliver water
more economically and others not so
cheaply, depnding upon the lift. eff
cheney, underground flow and fuel
used
Again. taking the average of the six
plants that pump from mediZm
depths we find that the fuel cost, con-
sidering gasoline, crude oil and coal,
was 1886 per acre foot. Or $s1 for an
irrigation of three inches per acre.
The total cost of pumping one
hour, taking the average of the six
plants, was found to be s.46, which in
ciudes depreciation, attendance and so
forth Their average capacity in gal
Ions per minute was 400 Consequent
ly to apply 3 acre inches. or 81. SIS gal
Ions it would ordinarily take 81 hours
making it possible 10 irrigate 81 acres
in a 10 hour day.
The gasoline used per hour by the
four plants using gasoline engines av-
eraged 1-SS pints per each developed
horsepower, which is considerably
more than the amount that would be
indicated had the efficiency of the en-
gines not been tested. For a 10 hour
day, then, the average would be %
gallons for each developed horsepower
of the engine.

FINE SEASON FOR DRY FARMERS AS
SURED IN THE SULPHUR SPRING VALLEY

Douglas, Ariz., July 3O.-The delay in
the opening of the rainy season
throughout southern Arizona was a
blessing to the dry farmer
The dry farmer placed confidence this
year in the Sulphur Springs valley, and
it is estimated that in the million acres
taken up since year ago, five times the
acreage planted year ago was this
season plowed, narrowed and pre-
pared for the coming of the rains
The seeding was done during the last
week of June and the first week of
July AS no rain fell, the seed lay
dormant in the dry top soil, suffering
no damage whatever. When the rains
did fall, they continued and are still
falling at such a rate of precipitation
that prosperous crops are freely predict
ed all over the southern part of Arizona,
and in northern Sonora, where the rain
fall has been even heavier than it has
been across the border.
The result is that there is a fine

= \ THE American Poultry journal
is given an article on turkey rails

free range for turkeys. The farmers
in this region who are successful in
bringing their poultry through the
critical first six weeks allow them TO
roam at viii. Below FL Paso at Be-
len there are two women who every
year sell several hundred dollars worth
of turkeys Their places are so stu
ated that the fowls may be allowed
to range without fear from animal
enemies, but other places are not so
favorably located and they must be
confined more.
The Christmas market requires cess
turkeys than the Thanks giving trade,
also the price is usually less, but last
year the Christmas market paid better
prices for birds of all kinds. 1t is
best TO begin preparing for the Thanks
giving market not a few weeks be-
fore, but rather as soon as the ooul-
try are Matched. The feeding during
the first two months of the turkeys
life determine TO a considerable ex-
tent it's condition at market time,
consequently they should receive care
full attention during this period.
Free Range Necessary.
Turkeys do not require a large
amount Of artificial food and they
should not receive a heavy fattening
ration from the time they are incG
bated. but they should be given free
range whenever possible Being of a
wild nature. fattening foods do nor
agree with them. Giving them unlim-
tied range and keeping them free from
lice seems to be the secret of succ ass

are overcome.
