Utilize Space Under Trees.

A good way to utilize the space
under a shade tree on the home
grounds where grass will not grow
and where the soil looks bare and
ugly is to utilize the space for potted
house plants In arranging for this,
a circle of bricks or natural stone
may be made about equal in diameter
to the top of the tree. Within this
rocky circle the potted plants may be
placed, with the shade-loving plants
nearest the trunk Of the tree in dens-
est shade, and the sun-loving plants
toward the circumference of the cir
Gle, where the light is strongest. The
circle of potted plants, too, may be
arranged according to size, the larger
and taller ones being to the center
and the smaller ones on the outer
boundary.
In this position the potted house
plants may be easily and safely car
ried through the RUNNER, and they
will add materially to the outdoor
decoration. The shade will prevent
them from drying out, and drainage
water will help the urrounding lawn.

ANCIENT ART OF IRRIGATION
Projects in lntermountain States Not
Discovery of Our Age, But Old
az Man Himself.

We are talking a great deal about
irrigation these days, now that the
government has taken hold of the job
of storing the waters and using them
for power, for transportation and for
irrigation. We are disposed to think
that this is new discovery of man,
one of the bright and shining sue
cesses of the nineteenth century. We
are prone to forget that the Indian
in the southwest practiced irrigation
hundreds of years ago, abundant proof
of which is found In the remains Of ir-
rigating bitches. We are prone to
forget, even If we read our Bibles,
that irrigation was practiced in Egypt
in the days of Moses. 1t may be a
surprise to some to know that civili-
zation has always begun in rainless
countries; that the ancient civilization
of Media and Persia was sustained by
irrigation. 1t may surprise our read
ers when We say that this land is
desert now simply because the inhab-
itants have forgotten the art of irri-
cation. That country is full Of
the remains of ancient irrigation
bitches; and 1t Is likely to be
one of the great food supplying coun-
tries of the world. The water Is
stored in way quite similar to that
in which we are storing water In the
Rockies, and applied to the land. 1t
may be still more surprising to know
that as matter of fact the English
engineers are grinding up the actual
bricks in the old Tower of Babel,
mentioned in the eleventh chapter OF
Genesis, for the making OF concrete
dams, in order to store the flood
waters of the mountains of that coun-
try.
So 1t will be seen that our irriga-
tion projects in the intermountain
states are not discovery of our age,
but that the plan is almost as old as
man himself. Solomon once incidental
ly remarked that there was nothing
new under the sum-" and every year
we are finding verification of the
wisdom of this remark

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

A mule seldom gets sick more than
once, and generally dies then.
The collar is the harness; see to it
that the collar fits. Collar boils are
caused by ill-fitting collars.
The levelness with which a horse
walks is one of the best evidences
that his legs work in harmony.
If the spring pigs are doing well
hold them steady until fall and then
push them hard to the market.
More small hogs have probably
been marketed in the past two years
than ever before during the same
time
When the green corn comes along
little later, do not stuff young pigs
all they will eat, or thumps will be
the result
All beef and mutton will hereafter
be raised on the small farms, and
farmers must learn how to meet the
new conditions.
Sheep don't do well without water,
and they are dainty about drinking,
Clean running water is just as essen
tial as good grass
The good fat knee, the muscular
arms, the full muscular shoulders
the good hook, are all important
points in the horse.
So far as can be done the horses
that are expected to do the spring
work should have the greater part of
their grain ration of good sound oats
A lousy pig is a sure sign of a poor
farmer Once thoroughly infested the
only way to get rid of the vermin is
to dope the pig with some good dis
infectant.
If your barn and feed yards have a
proper system of drainage, there will
be little danger of rheumatism among
your pigs. If you lave not worked
out such a system. do 90 now.

Milk Bottles in Denmark.

Milk cans in Denmark are sprayed
with cold water then thoroughly
sprinkled inside and out with hot
water. They are then fastened to a
revolving wheel which turns them
through solution of lime water, and
they are finally sprayed with steam.
The milk bottles are usually washed
with soda and water and the inside
cleansed by means Of a mechanically
worked revolving brush and are then
washed out with cold water. The
bottles are then filled and corked by
a mechanical process, sealed and
tied down with thread The bottles
are then put into racks and packed
in ice ready for distribution the fol
lowing morning.
