GIRL LONG KNOWN AS A BOY
RESUMES HER OWN GARB
Makes Her Home on q Claim, Hoping
to Forever Blot Out Her Former
Personality.

WATERLOO, Ia, May 17.--Living
on a ranch In North Dakota with 9
former Waterloo young lady is Miss
Pearl Waters who would blot out for
ever the personality which she as
sumed for several years-that Of q
boy-and would have her friends and
all the world forget.
Miss Waters was known for four
years to Waterloo people as Earl VIII
son, an orphan boy into whose family
had come many tragedies. The mother
and children became separated In the
San Francisco earthquake. The
mother died OF broken heart In an
eastern state, She had grieved life
away thinking that her children had
been killed Her husband had previ-
ously met death by falling from the
Flatiron building In New York.
Left an orphan, the girl then donned
male attire. believing she could make
her way In the world better as a boy.
When she came to this city, four years
ago, she was dressed as q boy and
found work and friends at the Y. NJ. c.
A. She often did work about the
kitchen, and the women folk often
handy washing dishes and doing other
household tasks.
Later she was news agent on the
Rock Island railroad. She became Ill,
and 1t was while in hospital In Cedar
Rapids that her masQuerading adyen-
ture became known.
Pearl had then become 80 used "a
male attire that she found It incon'
venient to wear clothing appropriate
to her sex. Her skirts almost tripped
her as she took the long strides she
had learned to take while wearing
trousers. Her hair was not of the
proper length to do up in the fashion
that other girls essayed.

TREE MUST HAVE IRRIGATION
Few Orchards In semI-Arid Regions
Profitable Without Good
Watsr Supply.

A couple of correspondents of Vel
lowstone country. refer to two or three
isolated instances where apple trees
actually living without irrigation. This
may seem truly wonderful to these
men who think they have actually
found a mares nest. Why. we know
of many orchards that are living after
a fashion. but we have as yet to learn
of a single instance Of such an or
chard that 10 success. We have all
the time advocated the planting of
fruit trees and shrubs for home use
on the dry farm. n the farmer has q
well from which he can draw water to
keep these trees alive during the dry
season. There is . great deal Of differ.
ence between keeping a tree alive and
making 1t profitable for bearing fruit
The report Of the experts who recently
visited the Flathead orchards say the
crop is greatly reduced and inferior
where no water was obtainable for ir-
rigation. The east side orchards above
the ditch are half dead and the crop
is scarcely worthy of the name. There
are a good many dry land orchards
that are partially irrigated. but they
are not a success. This is no new mat
ter with us. We have discussed the
dry land orchard for fifteen or twenty
years. C. F. Dallman of the Missoula
nursery. tried dry land nursery for
many years. but was forced to move to
a location below the ditch, and since
that date the Missoula nursery has
grown to be great and successful In
stitution. The dry land experiment
was failure even on the west side OF
the mountains. At the Dry Farming
congress at Billings last year Dallman
told US that while he was attending
farmers meetings and holding contro-
versies with the writer about the won.
derful success of trees grown on dry
land. he had six hired mon at home
hauling water trying TO keep his trees
alive I'D yet In spite of his efforts.
they died by the hundreds. One swal.
low does not make a summer. and q
few isolated instances do not refute
the testimony Of third Of century.
We wish our friends success. but in
the end they will probably bear testi-
mony with over one hundred we could
mention who say II is loves labor lost

His daily cash receipts may not seem
very large to men who have been used
to grain farming or stock farming. but
at the end Of the year his bank &C

along with that of his neighbor who
farms on a broader scale. Ready
money is greatly to be desired at all
times and the dairyman is more for.

farmer. Another thing in his favor
Is that he is not subject to the market

POULTRY NOTES.


Don sell uiry eBBs-
BUY your stock from some one who
has bred the same variety for several
wears. He will understand the breed.
II is often cheaper to adopt the
breed to suit the conditions than to
change the conditions to suit the
breed.
Keep pure bred stock. 1t costs no
more to feed and care for 1t. and there
Is a satisfaction that is impossible with
mongrel stock.
1t is easier and cheaper to produce
uniform white eggs than brown eggs Of
the same shade Of brown.
Crowding. inexperience and working
with too little capital are the great
causes Of failure in the poultry bust
ness.
II your hens are shut up are they
getting plenty OF green food? II Is
necessary If you want good results.
whenever you plan to build. whether
IL be house. barn or chicken coop. take
note of what sort OF drainage you can
get in the location you choose.
Cook some beans or peas. mix them
with wheat bran and feed twice a week
and see II you don't get a lot more
eggs.
Be watchful for cases OF roup and

evidences Of having the disease.

The amount OF cultivation and ir-
rigation that must be given to a
peach orchard depends largely on the
nature of the soil. Some soils require
much more work than others. There
should be enough cultivation to keep
the ground loose and SUFFICIENT irriga-
ton to keep II moist at all times dur

lies SO as to make It possible. we
would strongly advise irrigatins both
ways, running the water, say north

cause Of the extra work required In
