Is In most need of water. A shut
down at such a time. particularly with

the loss of the crop and it is highly
important, therefore. that there be
some reserve supply OF water against
such emergencies. There are also 9th.
err arguments in favor CT the reser-
voir, amongst which is the fact that
by means of reservoir it Is possible
to make use of greater head" of wa

ditch to the place of use. BY so do

area with small pumping plant than
would otherwise be possible since the

More Ground to Fruit Culture
Than Ever Before.

With all the planting that has been
done 1t now looks as If 1t were only
scratching as compared with the
great work the western slopers are

set to orchard in that region this
spring than have ever been set in one
year since the fruit industry began
The bug Is for more winter apples of
the finer qualities and year by year
the list is narrowing down until finally
1t Is expected that the recommends
ton will be for only two or three sorts
for general planting. All of the irri-
gated sections have been heavy pur-
chasers of nursery stock. The COM
pletion of some large irrigation prof.
ects during the coming year will mean
another large area of new orchards in
the future. Several companies on that
side of the mountains will be putting
out thousands of acres and some
people are wondering when the thing
will quit or If there is any danger of
having too many trees.

DAIRY NOTES.

Save the heifers from the best milk
cows
Don't add sweet cream to sour then
churn right away.
Don't let high prices tempt you to
sell your best stock
Use clover or alfalfa hay or bran
to balance the corn ration
Follow the directions that come with
the separator and save trouble.
When cows teats are sore use vase
line and she'll stop stepping around.
Cows relish change and for that
reason will sometimes eat rotten hay.
Good wheat bran is hard to beat
as milk producer. If properly mixed
with roughness-say clover or alfalfa
hay.
The cream separator enters into
the matter of the production of pure
cream as one of the great factors of
cleanliness.
Washing the farm separator is much
easier than washing the full quota of
utensils as they were used before the
day of the separator
Dairy cows are unlike beef ami.
mails. They are not protected from
the cold by thick coat of flesh. They
must be protected and kept warm or
they will use the feed you give them
to warm themselves

from calfhood and given other care

be depended on to keep up the
record of her dam, or to go her one

M oney Apples,

Baldwins and Greetings are the
two most profitable apples of western
New York by reason of health, vigor
and productiveness Of the tree and
the commercial value of the fruit.
There are many other varieties that
are profitable. but no other can be
called unqualifiedly pre-eminent. Per
haps the Twenty Ounce might be
named as third. The tree is very
productive of large. rather coarse
fruit, which finds a ready sale at good
prices. 1t Is a variety that Is being
