 Section , gives the commissioner of agriculture the power 10 refuse to reg 1 isier any brand of feed when the name is misleading or might in any way de- | ceive as 10 the contents Of the feed. This section also prevents the manufac- turer from lowering the grade of his feed for the rear in which registered.

amounts to forty-six inches. AS the
rainfall since the land was broken
amounts to about eighty inches, it is
seen that the loss of water amounts
to from IS to so per cent. The loss
has been greater in the case of the
corn plats than in the wheat plats.
The extra loss incurred in the corn
plat is evidently due to the sinking of
the waters to a depth greater than
ten feet. The loss of some forty-four
inches Of water from the wheat plat
may be accounted for by the natural
run-of, by evaporation at other times
than during the growing season, by
drifting snow that did not find lodg-
ment upon the plat, by light showers
that e~vaporated without having pro.
duced effect upon growth, and by
other possible causes.

The ACCESSIBILITY of introducing an

considered by the New York street

made of a new type Of street cleaning
machine which have impressed many
Of the officials who have something

showed that the streets can be thor

that cleaning can be done without wa

1t is not intended that the machines

Emerson company's offer is that the
street cleaning department shall lease
these machines for the use of the de-

stated price per 1000 square yards of
streets cleaned, the Emerson company
paying an costs of operation and main

TREE ROOTS.

One of the most vital parts of a
tree is its roots. 1t is not known
where the roots do their feeding. In
Fig. S, which is a photograph of a
tree which is being dug preparatory
to moving, the roots are seen spread
ing in all directions and quite near
the surface.
That the tree needs moisture goes
without saying. How is the tree with
it's roots just below the grass roots to
get it's moisture where the rainfall is
twenty inches or less? The grass
roots being nearest the surface get
the first chance at the moisture and
the tree suffers; this explains why
there are no trees on the prairie
where the rainfall is less than TWEEN
ty inches. Trees can, however, be
made to grow, and grow fast in this
section, by cultivating the soil over
the roots so that the tree gets all the
moisture that falls. The cultivation

Mulching with straw can be used in.
stead of the cultivation. Use clean
straw. Manure is apt to stimulate
late growth, which keeps the tree
from properly ripening up it's new
wood in the fall. Weeds will also
start quicker in the manure.
The illustration-study it. The roots
have been uncovered to quite a dis.
tance yet less than half their length
has been dug out. The feeding roots
are the tiny new root fibers and not
the big roots, which means that most
of the feeding of a tree takes place at
the end of the roots.
The secret of tree growing on the
prairie is giving the tree all the mois.
ture that falls over it's roots and the
way to do it is to keep grass and
weeds from growing over the tree
roots, which can be done by cultivat,

Ration For Growing Pigs.

A good ration might be made by
using two parts by weight of corn and
n part each of ground rye, ground
oats and oilmeal. For little pigs the
oats should be ground fine enough SO
that the hull is reduced to meal. If
this cannot be done it would be better
to sift the hulls out for a time after
weaving. All of the ground feeds
would be better if they could be
ground fine. The pigs should not be
fed as much of this mixture as they
will eat, but should be fed rather
limited quantities up to five or six
months of age. After six months Of
age, if the pigs are to be fed for mar
ket, the oilmeal might be omitted.

LOCATION OF THE ORCHARD
Selection Of Site a Most important
Matter.

Since the atmospheric conditions
are largely influenced by the contour
of a country, the selection of a site
is an important matter. In level
stretches like the Red River valley,
there is little opportunity for choice,
but in rolling sections one may dis
criminate. By observing the spots
that the native trees and shrubbery
select, one may come to a very easy
and correct solution of this point.
Even in the arid portion of the state
thrifty shrubs will be found growing
toward the bottom of the north side
of the hills and buttes. 1t is not well
to plant too low down on the hill
sides for the cold air settles there, in.
creasing the danger from late frosts.
Too e a the top of the slope the soil
is often dry and thin and the expo
sure n%eedlessly great.
A little intelligent study Of the land
will enable one to select a site having
some protection, good atmosphere
drainage and the proper soil.
South slopes are too dry, the sun Is
too hot there and the drying process
altogether too active. They should
DO avoided.
