NOT DIFFICULT TO IRRIGATE
erals and bitches Are Established
Anybody Can Water.

Practical irrigation is not a complex
problem. When once the laterals and
head bitches are established any
bright bay can irrigate the field. gar
den or orchard. Newcomers make a
complete success the first season. only
needing to take a few lessons watch
ing their neighbors on similar ground.
When once you have managed the
water business yourself for single
season you will never again want to
risk your fortune with the clouds and
floods and droughts. The time you
waste trying to make hay between
showers will irrigate the alfalfa. TO
say nothing about the hay cured with
out rain and dew being worth twice
as much. The time wasted with rainy
days in spring and with waiting for
the frost Ito go out" and the land
to dry on. will be much more than the
time II takes to irrigate. Irrigation
means three times the quantity of bet
ter hay. Rain belt often means ru-
ined hay crops. Irrigation means per
feet fertilization OF the fruit blossoms
and fruit of large size and perfect
color and quality. Rain belt often
means ruin OF the blossoms. no fruit.

IRRlGATE IN WEST KANSAS
IL Was 1895 Before State Aid Assured
Success for Undertaking-Wa-
ter Supply Unlimited.

So far as rainfall is concerned Kan
sas is divided from east TO west into
three parts. Only the western third
has much use for irrigation. The
first Roadway made toward placing
that part under irrigation was in 1890.
A convention was held at Great Bend
that year and a state Organization ef-
fected whose purpose was to study the
needs and aid in the development of
the country. But this hopeful effort
did not get much beyond it's beginning
1t was not until 1895 that definite
start was made. Then the legis-
lature created board of irriga-
ton and appropriated $4,000 for its
work. In 1896 this board did its first
work, and this date can well mark the
start of Kansas irrigation.
Throughout the humid and semi arid
districts there is an unlimited sup
ply OF water close to the surface of
the earth: moreover. there is little
access to large streams, so irrigation
has been largely confined TO pumping
plants. usually OF the windmill type.
The following cities. especially. are
centers for this type Garden City.
Ingles. Cimarron. Dodge City. Kinsley,
Great Bend and Hutchinson.
In general the most important points
to note in connection with irrigation
in the western third OF the state are:
The cost OF a windmill plant will be
from $50 to $3.50. according TO the size
OF the pump use: the cost of the reser-
voir will be about 500 more Shallow
wells pay better. as the flow usually
is much greater. In digging the we'll

POULTRY NOTES.

Geese are easily raised after the
first few days of careful watching
Generally a hen should not be kept
on an egg farm after she is two years
old.
Incubator chicks are never infest-
ed with vermin when they are
Matched.
Don't let chicks squeeze through
Slated coops until their bodies are
deformed.
The incubator giving the least trou-
BILE is the one kept In the best work
ing condition.
The fermentation OF a mass OF drop
pings In the house is a cause of many
throat diseases.
You need not be afraid the hens will
eat too much crushed shells. Let them
have all they want.
To try and get along without an
incubator and brooder or brood
ers costs more than to have the ma
chimes.
Chopped onions are very good for
all kinds of poultry. Onions are not
only invigorating, but are excellent
when the fowls are subject to
colds.
A flock OF pure-bred fowls look nice
and are nice. They make the owner
want to fix up other things about the
farm so they will correspond with the
chickens.
Colds induce bronchial affections in
fowls as they do in people. The re-
spiratory organs OF poultry are sub
iected to the same troubles as thos. of
the human family.

not quite thrifty as the others they
should be put by themselves, II

MILK CART THAT IS CURIOUS
Device Resembles Life-Sized Cow in
Which Product Is Stored and Kept
at Right Temperature.

A curious idea for milk carts is con-
tanned in a patent, applied for in 1898,
says the Popular Mechanics. Just
what 1t is intended for is told by the
inventor himself: My invention is a
new and useful improvement in milk
refrigerators and delivery apparatus,
and has for its object the provision of
a device that resembles a life-sized
COW, in which milk may be stored
and kept at proper temperature.
and from which it may be drawn as
occasion requires after the manner of
milking a COW. Within the body are
receptacles or compartments, each of
which is provided with a cover and
adapted TO contain the desired guam
tity of milk. By the use of two re-
ceptacles two qualities of milk may
be stored at the same time, such as
sweet milk and buttermilk In the
bottom of each of the receptacles is
located valve having a spring for
normally holding it in place. so as to
prevent the downfiowing of the milk.
Each of the teats has toggle-lever

NOT MERE MILKING MACHINE
Story Of Man Who Sought to Make
Fortune in Dairy Business-Start-
ed With Nondescrpt Cows.
(Ry r. B. RUCKHAMO

Among my acquaintance there is
numbered man who recently de-
cided to make a trial of furnishing
milk for the local market Having
ventured into several other branches
of agriculture without having achieved
any great success at any one OF them.
he determined to attempt this; make
one more play for favor at the hands
of Dame Fortune.
For a start, he purchased half a
dozen cows Of nondescript extraction,
and set himself up in the business OF
milk farmer His idea seemed to be
that all he had to do was to feed a
little grain and hay to these animals,
night and morning, and in return re-
ceive an abundant supply Of milk, the
equivalent OF ten times and more, in
value.
But before he had been at 1t long
he found that he had made a mistake
in his calculations, somewhere. The
account was running against him. in
stead of in his favor. He was play
ing a losing game, once more.
What was the trouble? Simply
this, that he had misjudged animal
nature. in one respect, at least. There

now they are for sale, away below

Ayrshire, Holstein. With reference
to ability to rustic for a living: Ayr
shire, Jersey. Guernsey, Holstein.
There is very little difference in the
amount of butter fat that is produced
on the average by various breeds.
There is great deal more difference
between the individuals of a breed
than between the breeds. Good COWS
are found in every breed. And poor
COWS are found in every breed. A
good Holstein is better than a poor
Jersey, and good Jersey is better
than poor Holstein. The selection
of breed, then. is not of SO much
Importance as the selection of the in.
dividuals within the bred.

Learn TO Make Repairs.

boy I know who hopes some day
to be a farmer will sit Is minutes on
rake or mower. and call for some
one to tighten a nut or adjust another
bit OF mechanism. says a writer in an
exchange. II he succeeds. he will
have to learn to do these things him
self, for every farmer must be a ma
chinist. The man who can put a
reaper together after he has seen IL
done will do well, but the man who
can do it without having seen IT done
will do better. Time on the farm. as
anywhere else. is money. and when a
tongue breaks 1t is money I'm the
pocket to be able to repair without
driving to the blacksmith.

his business would be worth little

Dry cows and poor cows are two
snags that dairymen should steer
clear of.
Breed your favorite breed in man
ner that will conform to all of your
requirements.
Successful dairying is like riding a
wheel, IL you don't keep moving you
will fall off.
No dairyman can afford to grow tim
othy hay on land that will yield good
crops of clover.
Let every COW stand on her own
individual merit and not live on the
profits from her sister.
The dairy cows are our best friends
and the farm without them Is on the
road to impoverishment.
Cleanliness in the dairy business Is
more a matter of inspiration than edu-
cation in sanitary methods.
Individual excellence is the only
safe guide to follow In selecting a
herd of profitable dairy cows.
In figuring up the profits from the
cows the past year don't neglect to
count in the manure produced.
milk or water before milking is only
habit. and not a good one at that.
1t is mistaken economy to put of
feeding grain and supplemental for.
age crops until everything in the pas
ture is consumed.
The true value OF the COW depends
not on herself alone, but on the feed
ing, shelter and functional action OF
the organs of nutrition.
Any dairy COW Of any breed should
give her own weight in milk each
month for at least six months, and an
extra good COW will do better.
The grade cows are the basis or
which the dairy business rests at the
present time and they are the cow
that we shall continue to do bushes,
with owing to their greater number,
and less cost.

Why Bees Swarm.

Bees swarm because the circum-
stances do not suit them. they are Ill
at ease and lack room. II We do not
wish them to swarm. we must give
them sufficient room. A loose bottom
board enables the beekeeper to raise
the hives up whenever needed. and to
give as much space for ventilation as
may be necessary. Drone rearing is
factor In swarming. In nearly
every instance the colonies that
swarm are those that have received
quite a large number OF drones A
certain percentage OF colonies will
swarm In spite OF anything that may
be done. You must bear In mind
that It takes but little to Induce
swarming during a good honey har-
vest.

connected to lift-rod. and when the
latter is raised the valve is lifted and
the milk flows out of the teats. BY
proper manipulation of this device a
realistic representation may be had of
the milking of a cow.
The portion OF the body of the i'm
itation cow not occupied by the milk
receptacles is utilized for the storing
of ice to maintain the milk at a prop
er temperature. The imitation COW
stands riveted to a wagon platform
and is drawn through the streets in
the same manner as an ordinary milk
