LATE IRRIGATION IN ORCHARD
Care Must Be Exercised That Trees
Go Into Winter Quarters With
Plenty Of Water.

The general practice of discontin-
uing the watering OF the orchard In
midsummer for the purpose of allow
Ing the trees TO mature wood growth
and color the fruit, generally calls
for late fall irrigation. This may
be applied any time after the middle
OF October II the trees have ripened
the young wood growth; otherwise
the watering had better be delayed
until the middle OF November. says
the Denver Field and Farm. In a
bearing orchard the water Is applied
after the last fruit is picked. In our
dry climate care must be exercised
to see that the orchard goes into
winter with plenty OF moisture In the
soil Evaporation from the twigs
continues even through the dormant
period and unless the roots have ac-
cess to more moisture the tops OF the
trees may freeze dry during severe
winters
The amount of water to be used
for this irrigation will depend much
upon the character of the soil. No
doubt many orchards on heavy soils
Will hol leuuiIe tHe ldi "utci 'A6
Still some OF the heavy soils are de-
ceivng and an examination will show
very dry sub-soil. A good fall wa
terEg is one OF the most satisfactory
means of irrigating such soil. Evap-
oration from the surface Is slow and
during the winter the water gradual
ly sinks to the dry subsoil. The soil
should be examined and supplied with
enough moisture to make 1t cling to-
gether when pressed in the hand, and
Still crumble when broken up.
As soon as most of the leaves have
| fall, n. the orchard should be plowed
or cultivated to catch these leaves for
they will help to improve the soil II
| plowed under before the late winds
sweep them into the fence corners.
Some growers still question the wis
dom OF plowing the orchard. but many
| who have tried it pronounce 1t not
success but a necessary step in the
proper cultivation of fruit tract IN
| this dry climate. While many grow
ers fear that the destruction OF roots
| in plowing will injure the trees this
is not necessarily true. AS matter
| of fact. a little root pruning by plow'
ing stimulates root growth and keeps
III. roots down where they belong.
| Some of our heavy soils really
mus, be plowed and the fall OF the
year is an excellent time to do the
work. The plow should run deer
| enough to break up the hard under
layer formed by continual shallow
| cultivation during the growing sea
| son. A light float or harrow should
| follow the plow to put the surface IN
| good condition. II left too open the
tendency Is to dry out. goot
smooth and well-broken surface tends
to hold the moisture. Some folks
| give one surface cultivation abou
rnid.winter and for this work dist
or cultivator is employed. Orchart
soils properly cultivated before go
ing into winter are much more cas-
lily titled the following summer.

DAIRY NOTES.

Manure is part OF the dairy profits.
Foul and unwholesome feeds taint
the milk and cream.
Never give cold milk to calf un-
der two months OF age.
Feed that produces the largest flow
Of milk is the cheapest in the end
Barley or corn or hay will be ap-
ture.
1t Is not always the cheapest or
Owest-priced COW that gives us the
cheapest milk.
See that the cows have some sort
Of good shade protection for the hot
scorching days.
The management OF the calf during
the first year has much to do with its
tuture usefulness.
The money paid out for purchased
leeds will come back soon in the sales
Of butter and pigs.
Weeds. such as wild onions. in the
pasture. will cause the milk to be un-
fit for human consumption.
The milk from each COW should be
tested about once a month during
the whole period of lactation
Trying to keep the feed bill down
at any season will result in unsatts-
factory returns from the herd.
The silo and the cream separator
are two OF the dairymans greatest
Mediums in making maximum profits
rom the herd.
The best and cheapest way to com"
INTO possession of a good, pure'bred
dairy bull is to buy bull calf of
some dairy that keeps nothing but the
best pure-bred cows.
Whether the cows be grades or
pure breds. 1t Is of the highest i'm
portance in building up a dairy herd
to secure pure-bred sire OF out
standing dairy merit.
1t pays to purchase some feeds for
the cows to help out the pasture
feeds, for the COW that Is made to
give as much milk as possible is the
one that will make money for you.

keepino Poultry Runs Fresh.

There is more or less dry weather
during the summer. and the runs not
infrequently become baked. and in
heavy soils more or less filthy. The
man who has the best interests OF his
flock at heart will once a week use
hand plow in such yards and stir up
the soil as to make 1t loose and
fresh.
II he does this at night. the next
morning the fowls will get at work.
scratching. hunting worms and stir
ring things generally. 1t is wonderful
how much they find in this turned
up soil that furnishes them both
amusement and food.

Tho eLalrd's Pictures.

Some years ago Scotch laird found
on succeeding to his estates that the
house contained two portraits Of dis.
tinguished member of the family who
had flourished during the reign Of
George ILL.,, one by Reynolds and the
other by Raeburn. He knew no more
of pictures than a Newfoundland dog.
and he decided that two portraits of
the same Individual need not be kept.
The Reynolds was retained. while the
Raeburn was presented to public
gallery. The worthy man was struck
with CONSERVATION some time afterward
when he found that his gift had been
valued at $4,000 and probably the
picture would now fetch double that
amount.

supposed to have repressed
tho primitive lust for blood and plum.
der. the alarmist has only to lift his
from our bosoms.
Millions are given to promote the
cause Of universal peace. Yet the ma
tions OF Europe compete with each
other for the privilege OF bearing the
heaviest burden In the way OF modern
armaments. England trembles at the
thought Of Germany: Germany. with
her rapidly expanding commerce.
leaps to the Dreadnought type Of
naval construction and increases her
expenditures to overcome England's
two-power lead. Austria lays down
four first-class battle ships. Russia Is
said to be contemplating the expendi.
ture Of 100000. 900 on her navy. The
United States is warned that in no
long time Germany will oust her from
the second place upon the seas. Not
the least important business OF peace
would seem to be the preparation for
war.
One Is reminded Of the ancient Chi
nese sage who was sent to Europe by
his emperor to investigate the merits
Of the Christian religion. 1t was
troublous time. The great nations
were locked in a death struggle: bat
tie fields ran with blood: violent
schisms sprang up and were sup
pressed with slaughter: the continent
was no better than a huge shambles.
After the sage had looked his fill he
returned to his emperor.
China is too peaceful a nation" he
said. Ito be adapted to the Christian
faith"
Peace Dove Is Elusive.
1t is possible to believe that this
shrewd Oriental had not made pro-
found study Of Christian ethics; but
at least he had seen that during some
centuries of acceptance 1t had not
availed to put an end to the horrors or
war. Perhaps the essence Of the thing
is better understood today. and yet
he would be an optimistic prophet
who should declare that the era OF
unbroken peace had dawned.
The country was recently warned
that It's standing army Is inadequate
to repel foreign invasion. This was
still the nations impregnable bulwark.
and that while the navy floats no hos
tile nation could land force. What.
then. is the condition Of the Ameri-
can navy and what are its facilities In
the way of naval base and coal sup
ply in the event of war?
Notwithstanding the greatly increas-
ed cost of naval construction. which
was introduced with the Dreadnought
type, the government has during some
years followed the practice OF laying
down two battle ships annually. The
appropriations for the five years end
ing June 30, 1911. reach $593. 72I .s61. i.

At the present time England and

PrOhi Candidates Multiply.

Atlanta, Sept Sit has developed
as practical certainty within
the past twenty-four hours that DR..
L. G. Hardeman, of Jackson county,
former senator and member of the
house in the Georgia assembly, will
be in the race for governor.
DR.. Hardeman was in Atlanta,
last night, and in an interview ad-
mitted the probability of his an
nouncement at an early date
Friends with whom he has talked
say the announcement is certain.
DR.. Hardeman will probably not
announce on the single issue of pro-
hibition, though he is a prohibition
ist, but will rather stand On his pc
litical record in it's entirety.
However, the pending anounce-
ment of his candidacy is causing
considerable surprise among the
prohibitionists who had hoped and
still hope that the solid prohibition
ranks will be marshaled behind j.
Pope Brown, the first and only de-
clared prohibition candidate.
