ECONOMY IN USE OF WATER
Conservation for irrigation Purposes
10 Essential In Order to Ex-
pand Available Acres.

The science Of irrigation Ia as YET
hardly out of It's baby shoes. and II
goes without saying that the next ten
years will witness a tremendous DE
velopment In this direction. Az the
principles Of irrigation are better un'
derstood and practiced. the bene1t OF
them will become apparent more and
more. Az a matter Of fact Irrigation
should by no means be confined to
arid OF semi-arid countries. but can be
and should be applied judiciously
everywhere. where farmers are rails.

Ing an annual rainfall of 40 inches or
moro will experience at times the ef-
feet of a drouth which will cause a

Of a failure of rains to arrive at the
right time the farmer can turn his
water into his land and supply the de-
ficiency. says the Irrigation Age.
As the irrigated areas are constant.
ly increasing the matter of economic
use Of water Is receiving attention.
This Is a very important subject and
should be followed up with the most
persistent efforts. II conservation of
natural means anything 1t
mean that there should be no waste;
1t does not mean that our forests or
waterfalls should be fenced In and
kept from being used; this would be
utterly foolish and keep the people
from their heritage; but 1t a that
our national should be SO
handled that they will serve the pres
ent generation as well as succeeding
generations and hence economy in
their use is an imperative necessity.
Economy In the use of water for IT.
rigation purposes Is necessary in or
der to expand the number of acres
available for irrigation. 1t is easily
understood that when the pioneers In
irrigation took hold and developed
projects 1t was done on lines of the
least resistance and least cost. Thus
water was led along rough bitches to
the nearest land and the tracts thus
irrigated produced splendid results.
Nc n made inquiries as to the guam.
tity OF water which actually leaked
away from the ditch and was thus
wasted. AS the value of irrigated
land is constantly rising the value of
the water thus wasted becomes ap.
parent and means are discussed and
adopted to conserve this wasted wa
ter; how to accomplish this result to
the best advantage Is one of the prin-
cipal problems In irrigation at the
present time.

FORMULA FOR GRAFTIN WAX
6eeswax and One Pint Of lInseed
OIL Found Satisfactory.

The old formula for grating wax
was four pounds Of resin. two pounds
beeswax and n pound of tallow. A
better formula is six pounds OF resin,
two pounds Of beeswax and one pint
Of linseed oil. This Is less likely TO
cause the bark to peel from the stock
around the graft than hat made with
tallow. To make either melt the resin
and let 1t simmer a few minutes.
Trim of dark colored surface OF the
beeswax. shave the rest and put into
the resin, allowing II to work a few
minutes. Add tallow or oil and stir
for a few minutes. her pour II into
cold water. Grease the hands. pull
and work 1t until IL Is a light-yellow
color. Then make into rolls and wrap
in oiled paper. II too cold when
grating is done soften 1t in warm
water. The liquid grating wax may
be made from one pound white resin
and one n of beef tallow, melt &.
gether. and take 1t far away from Hre,
then add slowly eight ounces OF al
cohol, stirring steadily until 1t is
smooth. Put in bottles and keep
corked when not In use. Apply with a
brush. Waxed cloth to bind around

In melted or liquid grating wax.

CARE FOR INCUBATOR CHICKS
or Three Days-Feed Often but
Only What They Eat Clean.

Keep the chicks penned in the
brooder for two or three days, and
g to 1t that they know how to get
under the hover: they will soon learn
where to go when they get a little
cold. See that they all go under the
hover the first night. and hat they
are warm enough. Always have a lit
tie ventilation. as they must have
fresh air. Feed them often. but give
them only what they will eat up clean
each time. After they are about three
days old they may be let out OF the
brooder II the weather Is favorable.
After they are three weeks old they
may be fed larger grains, such as
wheat. cracked corn. buckwheat. etc.
Always bear in mind to keep them
well supplied with clean. fresh water
at all times, for this will save a lot OF
disease. II they do not have free
range. supply them with green and
food. And grit should not be
as II is very essential In

CARING FOR LITTLE CHICKS
Cooked, Chopped Eggs Arc Good for
Thorn at start-0ive Free Access
to Sand or Grit.

In regard to the feeding Of chicks
and this. Of course. applies to chicks
with the hen as well as those in the
brooder-permit me to say that the
first day or two. when they are old
enough to eat. cooked chopped egg
are about the best thing for them.
But before feeding this to them l
suggest that you feed the old hen
well. or else she will gobble 1t up
before the chicks get a look at 1t.
After that time give them a good
chick feed. writes Harry Raven in the
Chicago Daily News. After the first
week give them ground oats or crack.
ed oats. cracked wheat and sifted
cracked corn and boiled broken rice
with white bread and graham bread.
Also give them meat scraps which con-
tain both dry and fresh cut bone.
A chick can be perhaps kept alive
on cracked corn. as half the farmers
do. But that Is not what should be
done by the man " woman who wants
them to weigh fully three or three and
a half pounds at ten weeks or. at
least, IL weeks old. To accomplish
this o must work them for all they
are worth; but | do not advise you to
feed cracked corn alone, as they get
tired of 1t the same as We would OF
bread.
Let them have free access to coarse
sane or any kind of grit.
DO not leave any holes open at
night In your house or breeders for
rats to crawl through. as they are very
dangerous around your chicks.
