GENERAL FARM NOTES.

When the crust forms after a rain
stir the soil.
Don't let the cows or young things
lose in condition now.
Do not waste feed on a COW that Is
eats.
Hogs properly sheltered will thrive
on much less feed than those exposed
to cold.
Don't condemn her II you are only
giving her enough feed to keep life In
her body.
The first test to be given a new
workman on the farm is to send him
out with a team.
Alfalfa hay and corn have been
found to be a most satisfactory fatten-
ing feed for hogs.
Alfalfa in a young orchard would be
all right II grown only beyond the
reach of the tree roots.
The whole secret of profit in poul-
try culture is in. following natures
way in the care of the stock.
II the food is allowed to sour in the
,roughs. it will throw the hogs on feed.
This will check growth, and is a loss.
Hogs that have died from the chol-
ora should be Immediately burned or
buried deeply and covered with quick
lime.
Unless a hen has great value as
a breeder or as a mother 1t is well to
let her go to the dressed poultry mar
ket after her third year.
The waterglass methods.of preser-
wing eggs is considered by the majori.
ty OF poultrymen who have tried It the
most satisfactory Of any.
II is a good rule to give fowls all
thew will eat up clean. Some days
the appetite will be greater than other
days.

IRRIGATION WATER IN ROADS
Highways In Many Places Found to Be
Very Bad and in Spots Almost
impossible by Leaks.

Irrigation water in roads is not only
waste of water. but 1t does make
very bad roads. sometimes impossible
ones. In Gallatin Valley Mont. recent

utes with a spade would have stopped.
In several other places we found the
roads in very bad condition from small,
but evidently long neglected leaks.
from nearby bitches. says a writer in
the North Dakota Farmer. This Is one
of the disagreeable drawbacks In many
irrigated sections and little, a very
little timely care would prevent It
Colorado has found this such a nuts.
ance that section 1860 OF the state
statutes reads: ANY person who
shall cause waste water or water from
any ditch. road, drain or fume.
or other place to Cow In or upon any
road or highway SO as to do damage
to the same. shall be subject to a fine
of not less than $40 nor more than
$500 for each offense and shall
be liable to any person in a civil
action for any damages resulting there
from"
And still there are some very bad
roads from leaky bitches In Colorado
as We can testify. We think that not
less than $40 nor more than $50 would
perhaps be better-and this not apply
unless the leak can be shown to have
been a neglected one. or from two to
three days standing. Too severe a
penalty prevents rather than encour-
ages complaints of this kind.

IRRIGATION in BEET FIELDS
Should Be Delayed az Long 40 There
Is Sufficient Moisture to Keep Up
Steady Growth.

The Irrigation OF the beet flsids
should be delayed us long M there
Is sufficient moisture In tho soil
to keep up a steady growth. TOO
early irrigation tends to mako
turnip-shaped beet and produces an
unusually heavy growth OF leaves with.
out corresponding development OF the
root. The soil should be kept In
thorough state OF tillage by frequent
civilizations. SO that the loss OF mois-
ture by direct evaporation may be
slight. says the Field and Farm. There
Is middle course as to the time OF
this application of water to the crop.
for II held on too long the beet will
begin to mature and 30 prevent It's
proper development later Experience
alone will decide the best practice.
but In general way It is no advan-
tage to this crop to irrigate when
there is sufficient moisture to keep up
a vigorous growth. After irrigation
and as soon as the ground has dried
out sufficiently, a cultivation three or
four inches deep should follow. Tie
narrow cultivator shovel, bull. calf or
deer tongues should be used in order
to pulverize the soil as much as pos
sible. If the beets have become so
large that the leaves would be in
jured, the use of these implements
would injure rather than benefit the
crop and should be avoided. The fur
rows will then remain as they are in
the furrow irrigation and serve for
subsequent irrigations. II plants are
not too large the furrowing for follow
ing irrigations should not be put of
too long after the cultivation. as there
Is danger of injuring the leaves.

Great care should be taken that
there is no dirt sticking to the cows

milk pail. as every particle Of dirt or
filth Of any kind that gets into the
milk carries with It thousands of bac-
terra. Undesirable bacteria produces

that lodges on the surface and in the
crevices of half-cleaned utensils. as
well as in the filth that is in the barn

Ashes for Fruit Trees.

Save all the wood ashes and use
around fruit trees as fertilizer.
Wood ashes are especially good for
peach trees and they will benefit all
fruit trees and vines. In using Their,
as fertilizer do not place any
against the trunk of the tree, since
the strong alkali will spoil the bark.
Scatter them thinly on the soil over a
circle as big as the top of the tree.
The feeding roots run out further
