KILLED BY A HORSE
Foot Catches in Hame Strap And

Relief Arrives.

Last Saturday evening Jacob

He had finished long days work
and was unhitching his team. He
had finished the first horse when he
started 10 unhitch the remaining

animal. Somehow his foot got caught
in the bame strap and the horse be-
came frightened and started with
him. He tramped his left side to a

body were broken. and his face was
also badly mutilated. He died from
the terrible ordeal before help reach
ed him.

summer Pruning.

Much has been said in regard to
summer nruning Of fruit trees in the
Pacific Northwest but as a matter OF
fact vrv fw of our orchardists ac-
tuallv DO summr pruning to any K
int. Theoretically most people think
IT. very desirable thing to do but
like other practical phases Of fruit
growing it requires definite ideas and
some experience.
After the Orcharddst has made
careful inspection of his trees he will
find some growing too fast in pro-
portion to the amount of fruit borne
while the reverse of this will be no
tices on certain trees. Pruning while
the tree is dormant. or winter prun-
ing as it is termed. causes the tree
to produce wood the following sea-
son in proportion to the amount re-
moved at this time. Summer prun-
ing: i. e., pruning during the grow
ing season about July or the 1st OF
August causes the tree to send its
energies into the formation of fruit
spurs and fruit.
The experiment Station at Moscow
is conducting a pruning experiment
in ordert o collect accurate data on
this work Is being done is now six
years old and while the results obtain
ed so far are in no wav conclusive
yet they are very suggestive. The two
varieties used in this experiment are
Wagner and Jonathan. The Wagner
trees which have been summer prun-
ed have yielded practically twice as
much as winter pruned; while the
Jonathan has given about one-third
higher yield in favor Of summer prun-
ing.
Summer pruning gives an oppor-
tunitv to thin out the tree for the
benefit of the present crop. It is now
lime for the orchardist to be watch
ing for the formation of terminal
buds If summer pruning is practiced.
Pruning before buds have well form
ed will cause a second growth to start
which is not desired.-W. W. Wicks.

EXPLOSION FROM WITHIN
Engineers Inspecting Wreck of the
Maine Make Statement Con-
ceTning Explosion.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The loss
of the battleship Maine was caused
bv the explosion of her three maga-
zines. No such effect as that pro-
duced upon the vessel could have
been caused by an explosion from
without.
Such is the opinion of General
William II. Bixby, chief of engineers.
II. s. A.. who has returned from a
personal inspection of the work of
raising the Maine.
General Bixby said that a portion
of the deck over the magazines was
blown upward and laid backward
and there were numerous conditions
of the hulk which proved that no eX-
plosion from the outside could have
caused the same result.
General Bixby does not believe
the bodies of those who lost their
lives will be found in the Maine. ne
saws they are probably buried 200
feet or more from the wreck in the
mud.

The coming convention Is to be a

the association desires 20 maintain

Loss of plant Food on Irrigated Farm

A certain amount of plant food IS
removed from and restored TO all cul-
tivated soils. II as much Is returned
TO productive soil as Is taken away
such soil Will never become exhaust
ed. Therefore an especial consider
alton should be given to all phases
of the subpect that deals with the
conservation Of the plant food ele-
ments that are already in he soil.
In Idaho's irrigated districts the
largest part OF the plant food taken
from the soil is removed by the grow
ing crops, but the amount Of valu-
able plant forming elements that are
lost in waste and drainage water may
not be inappreciable.
The results of some experiments,
conducted at one of our leading ex-
pertinent stations. located In a non
irrigated district, show that the drain
age water carries away an average OF
37.6 pounds OF nitrogen per acre a
year from the top twenty inches OF
soil. Although potash, phosphoric acid
and lime are not dissolved from the
soils as readily as nitrogen, II has
been clearly shown that the amount
Of those elements in the drainage wa
ters Is not small.
II the mineral plant foods are so
easily detected in the drainage from
lands watered only by rain, the loss
on an irrigated farm. unless the wa
ter is carefully applied, will be con-
siderably greater. II a large stream
OF water is allowed to run all night
through short rows OF vegetables and
berries and for days over grain and
alfalfa fields these elements that are
assimilated by the growing plants VIII
either be carried below the range OF
plant roots and lost in the under
ground drainage. or will be carried
of in the waste ditch to enrich some
farm further down the canal.
To reduce this teaching Of the soil
by The irrigation water to a minimum
as far as possible excessive flooding,
resulting in large streams OF waste
