MAYOR GUARANTEES FULL PROTECTION BY
 GARBAGE CONTRACT

Mayor Edward T. Buckingham this mornin~ referring to the garbage contract made with Charles c. Fisch- CT. said:
 'In my opinion the garbage contract which was signed yesterday by the Board of Health and Charles c. Fischer affords ample protection for sidin~ in East Bridgeport. The City Attorney has incorporated provisions that will certainly prevent a recur- renee of the nu' 'sance so prevalent on the East Side during the last two or three years. The advisory board and the Board of Health have been most conscientious in their endeavors to give Bridgeport the best there is. The

Health board has devoted a great deal Of time to the matter and nothing has been done hastily. This problem was one that had to be met fairly and squarely and not put off for the future to take care of. The contract, in general is as strong and binding as the Wheelwright contract, so call ed. and in some particulars more dras- tic. AS mayor of the city I feel that under this contract I can guarantee to the citizens absolute protection against any nuisance from the new garbage plant and if nuisance should follow, I will use every effort within my power to stop the run ming of the plant Bridgeport has taken a step in advance of the other Connecticut cities in the garbage prob lem and I believe time will show that the wisdom of her action.''

TWO PLANTS RESIST DROUGHT
Alfalfa and kanir Corn Excellent
Yelders for Dairyman Caring for
Such Crops.

In alfalfa and kaffir corn there are
two drought resisting plants that are
excellent yielders for any dairyman
who cares to rgow such crops. On
good soil alfalfa will produce from
four to six and even seven tons of
hay to the acre. On the average al
falfa hay contains seventeen per cent
of digestible protein. Kaf1ir corn on
upland has averaged forty-six bush
els of grain to the acre while corn
under the same conditions has av-
eraged thirty-five bushels when
grown by the Campbell system. With
alfalfa and kaffir corn meal butter
fat can be produced at twelve cents a
pound. With kaffir cornmeal one
third, bran one.third and ground oats
one-third, with all the kaffir corn
slower the cows will eat butter fat
has been produced for ten cents a
pound. An acre of kaffir is worth more
than an acre Of corn however as
grown without irrigation in dry eli
mates.

ing Good Crops.

Mr.. John T. Burns of Denver, secre-
tary of the Dry Farming congress,
was in Baltimore the other day. Mr..
Burns knows vast deal about the
possibilities of making good crops
grow in regions where there is but
scant moisture.
He said: "Mr. James J. Hill takes
a too gloomy view Of the future of the
United States as a grain-producing
country. He thinks the time is not
distant when the United States will
have to import wheat, This bad stu
alton will be saved by dry farming.
There are l0O,0O0,OO0 acres of land not
now in cultivation that will, ere many
years, be raising splendid crops of
wheat. This plan of making the soil
produce we'll in regions where the
rainfall does not go over is inches per
annum has been successfully demon
strated and every year sees it yield
better results.
Even on a 14-inch fall, by highly
scientific farming, plenty of grain can
be harvested. All over the world dry
farming has been taken up as the SO.
luton of the bread problem of the flu
ture, and at our next congress, to be
held in Spokane, there will be dele.

Exercise for Cows

Although have met with some sue.

supply city milk, have never given
cows exercise, says a writer in Balti-

and observation I feel sure that a
cow in warm, dry, well-bedded and
well-ventilated stable needs no more
exercise than she will get in convert
ing liberal amount of good feed and
plenty of good water into bountiful
supply of milk. MY COWS during the
winter are taken into a yard, shell.

trough of good spring water kept free
from ice. They are left out long
enough for us to clean and bed the
stable and fill their managers With
feed. When the stable door is open
the exercise they get coming bach
into the stable is very lively, and
that without any help from the dog.
There are several diaries in this vicin.
ity that have stables arranged to give
the cows drink at all times. The cows
are left in these stables for months at
time in winter. and their general ap..
pearance, health and milk production
are ahead of COWS treated In any 9th

FORAGE crons.

be dependent upon any one kind Of
forage at any one time. AS winter
forage rye is without doubt unex-

ever the days are warm the hogs will
CLEAN much food by having access to
some forage or pasture crop. For
spring pasture, after the rye has be-
come too tough to be relished, clover
and alfalfa will be available, and then
pats and peas can be sown as
the clover and alfalfa is eaten off.
These may be followed by corn, rape
and rye for late fall and winter pas
ture. There are other good forage

SHOULD BE BROKEN
As Often as II Becomes Solid II
Should BE Stirred with Rake
or Hoe.

It is serious mistake to suppose
that so long as the surface remains
moist the soil below Is well supplied
with water. A damp surface may
mean only that moisture is rapidly
evaporating into the air. AS often as
the surface becomes solid It should be
stirred with rake or hoe. AS a rain
or even q shower compacts the soil
at the surface, the common notion.
that 1t renders raking or shallow plow-
ing less necessary Is precisely con-
trary to the fact. It is then especially
that the surface should be broken. The
same Is true after irrigation. The rak-
ing or blowing should be done as soon
AZ the soil will not cake when
squeezed In the hand.

IRRIGATE TO GROW ALFALFA
Importance of Crop to Farmers Can
not Me Observation-Disclosures
the Fertility Of Soils.

The Importance of alfalfa to west
ern farmers cannot well be over
estimated. A single ton of alfalfa may
save the lives of many head of stock
by providing feed during short peri
DDS of cold. stormy weather. Alfalfa
cannot be excelled as a preparatory
crop on soils that have long been un-
productive. Likewise it maintains
the fertility of soils naturally rich in
plant food, and II used as base of
rotation makes possible abundant crop
yield Of various kinds.
Notwithstanding its present import
ance and great value in irrigation
farming, the profits on the area now
In alfalfa can be greatly increased if
more care and skill are exercised in
growing it.
Perhaps the most essential condi-
lions for the production of alfalfa are
abundant sunshine, high summer
temperature, sufficient moisture. and,
a rich, deep, well-drained soil. All of,
these ESSENTIALS, save moisture, exist
naturally in the arid region of the
United States, and when water is sup
piled it makes the conditions ideals
Although alfalfa can be successfully,
grown under wide range of soil con-
ditions, yet all western lands are not
equally well adapted to its growth.
How to determine the suitability
of land for growing alfalfa under ir-
rigation. as well as how to prepare
the land, is told in Farmers Bulletin

issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The bulletin dis
cusses the various methods Of irri,

information in connection Herewith.

LESSONS IN FORESTRY.

Tho world Is fast learning the value
OF its forests and is taking steps to
protect or reclaim them. Wantun
waste during centuries of ignorance
has brought many once fertile regions
to the verge of desolation like that
OF the Sahara, but repentance and re-
forestation have in every instance
been followed by immediate rewards.
Take the case of the Karst, stretch
OF barren limestone land along the
Austrian shores Of the Adriatic. The
navies OF Venice were built Of timber
from the Karst. and most of eastern
italy drew its supplies of wood from
the same supposedly inexhaustible
source. The result was depletion-the
Karst was turned into a seemingly ir-
redeemable waste. At last Austrian
1oresters turned their attention to the
100000 barren acres; taxes were re-
United and money was RENTED to
tree planters; technical advice and en-
couragement was supplied. This work
began IN 1865. To-day over two.thirds
OF tho Karst, or 100000 acres, has been
reclaimed. Germany. France. Den.
marx, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium
and holland have given special atten-
ftion to their forests recently. Germany
being the pioneer and leader in the
work. But France has lately done so
much In legislation and active assist
ance that special attention should be
given to her efforts.

METHODS FOR DRY FARMING
Amount Of Moisture Which viii Rise
to Roots Of Plants Depends on
Soil Below.

In the United States the history OF
dry farming may be said to date back
to 1849, the year of the gold discov-
cry in California. Several years after
Hilgard Of California called attention
to the vast potentialities of the arid
lands of the west and by his brilliant
researches in the laboratory and in
the field he clearly proved that they
possess certain distinct advantages
over the more humid soils of the east,
He has always laid special stress on
the two fundamental principles of dry
land farming, namely deep, initial
preparation of the ground and con-
slant shallow after cultivation. He
has also observed that In selecting
virgin land for dry farming the farm
err should not rest content merely
with the chemical analysis OF his soil.
but should cerafully examine the ma.
ture of the native vegetationA and
probe or dig to depth of five Or six
feet before passing final Judgment on
the capability of good ground for this
type of farming. For in dry farming

rise to the plant roots depends upon
what sort of soil is below and its
depth Gravel will effectually hinder
water from getting from below.
Further. if the water table-that is.
the point at which water is found by
digging--is too shallow the roots will
be prevented from feeding properly
and may be drowned.
If the practices, necessary in many
parts of the west, We're followed more
generally in the east, with only the
machinery, already on the farms,
droughts would entail much less dis
astrous results than now. There is
little in the Campbell system not IA
miliar to eastern farmers except the
special machinery devised to meet
the peculiar conditions of the semi:
arid lands. 1t was not until the year
1892 that any definite results were
obtained with the Campbell system
This was period of great activity in
the study of the soil and Campbell
was able to make use of the investi.

Mr.. Landreth thought, that some at

suffered to such an extent as to make
his fruitful years hardly balance the
loss of dry years. A system Of irriga.
tion reservoirs from Maine to Florida
would insure the farmers against loss
from droughts. AS q beginning, he

The expense of establishing such
system along the Atlantic coast, he
said, would be great. but it would
pay tenfold on the investment. In
the west the water for the irrigation
bitches is had from the mountains,
gravity being the power. In the east
1t would be necessary to establish
pumping plants at great cost. But
only some such plan would make
farming in the east profitable to-day.
