SUCCESS IN SMALL GARDENS
Provides Necessary Vegetables for
Use During Winter and Forage
for the Family Cow.
(By F. H. NEWELL, Director United
States Reclamation Service.)

CBy F. H. NEWELL, Director United
States Reclamation Service.)
The best condition for success in
the arid regions Is one where a small
acreage on each farm can be irrigated
and intensely cultivated and where a
variety of crops, especially those con-
sumed on the farm and in the home.
can be raised. This small area, even
If no more than a good-sized garden
patch is the citadel of the home. II
provides potatoes and other yegeta-
bles for use during the winter, and
possibly some alfalfa or other forage
for the family cow It insures the
permanence of the family. Outside of
this area there may be a hundred or
several hundred acres under cultiya-
ton by arid agriculture without the
artificial application of water. This
larger tract of dry land may yield a
generous living, alternate portions be-
Ing cropped each year with reasonable
success and with occasional bumper
crops. Here on the dry land is where
the larger profits may be made with a
relatively small investment. 1t is this
com bination Of irrigated land With
larger areas of dry lands on which
there is an intelligent application of
dry farming principles which has en-
abled hundreds of farmers to succeed
while their neighbors, depending upon
one crop and trying to utilize all of
the dry land each year, have failed
miserably.
There are now available to every
man number of publications giving
clearly the principles of arid agricul-
ture. These have been printed under
the auspices of the state and federal
government and by individuals.
There is no excuse for any man not
grasping the fundamentals; but there
is in the makeup of every pioneer
farmer more or less of the desire to
speculate. The rules laid down in
the books and the advice given him
by the agricultural experts seems to
be too exacting; he wants to try his
chance, and believes that with the
favorable weather then prevailing he
can run the risk of doing little less
work than called for by the experts.
He remembers having heard of some
one who made a success without so
much plowing and narrowing; being
pressed for time, or money, he puts in
his entire area in the quickest manner
possible. Last years results have
shown the unwisdom of such a reck-
less course. While instances may be
pointed out where a fair crop has
been attained, the great number of
results serve to emphasize the fact
that it doesn't pay to take chances
and that a man who proceeds cauti-
ously has been the winner.
Summing up the situation, 1t may be
said that last years failures and sue
cesses serve to strengthen the belief
in the future Of the arid region as a
place for farms and homes for the
highest type of intelligent, active and
progressive citizens.

Fatteninq Poultry.

For fattening poultry the French
poulterer favors the epinette plan.
This consists of rows of cages, with a
separate compartment for each bird.
These cages measure 20 inches square
and open at the top, 10 place being
allowed for movement. The bottom Of
the cage is open work, and below a
moveable board strewn with ashes or
sawdust to receive the droppings. In
front is placed a trough for food and
an earthen vessel for water. The cell
lar or fattening house is kept warm,
and the light gradually diminished till
total darkness is secured on the fifth
day. Only when being fed is daylight
readmitted, and many prefer to en-
ploy lamp.

The boy, who appeared to about 16

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
81 suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
I was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that I wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. 1 grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
Then l again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.

gan to use Postum and 1 am using it

IS DEFEATED.
Canadian Pact is Overwhelm-
ingly Defeated at Polls on
Thursday of Last Week

Montreal, Sept. 22-Canada
awakened today confronted by
the new striking situation devel-
oped from the fact that recipro-
city with the United States had
been rejected; that the Laurier
government has been defeated,
and that R. L. Borden will short
ly be called upon to form a Con-
servative ministry.
That the changes enacted dur
ing the past twenty-four hours
by the registration of the will
of the electorate are radical is
shown by the overwhelming
majority whereby the votes
turned down the agreement
which Laurier had made with
the United States for the mutual
removal of duties on food and
other natural products; by the
defeat of seven cabinet Minis
ters out Of thirteen who went to
the polls, and by the political
landslide which will retire to
private life Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
acknowledged to be one of the
biggest figures in the British
empire.
Out Of nine Canadian PROVING
es, only Quebec, Laurier's nat
i've place, came anywhere near
remaining faithful to him and
Quebec did not do any too we'll.
Ontario, the greatest of the pro-
vinces, dealt yLaurier a terrible
blow, going almost solid against
him and the same may be said
about Manitoba and British COL
umbia. Saskatchewan and AL
berta, the two great wheat rails
ing provinces, gave a mild sup
port to the cause of reciprocity.
AS for the reciprocity agree
ment, it is not likely to be heard
of again soon in the Canadian
house. Any measure of this
kind must be introduced from
the government side and it is
not likely that Borden and his
followers will make any move in
the matter.
There is considerable interest
manifested in the view which
the people Of the United States
will take of the overwhelming
of reciprocity.

R. 7. BLENKER RE:
TURNS FROM CANADA
Will Hereafter Reside Here
Permanently and Conduct
the Pioneer Store

Ralph Blenkner, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. c.. H. Blenkner of this
city, arrived in Bowbells Monday
might from Edmonton, Can.,
where he spent the past six
months in the employ of the
Swift Canada Packing Co. in the
capacity Of travelling salesman.
On talking about the Edmonton
country with The Tribune Mr..
Blenkner told US that all cities in
that part of the Canadian north
west were pretty much on the
boom, and that the city Of Ed
monton grew during the past
six years from a polulation of
5000 to $4,000, and was still
growing fast. A very large
number of new buildings are un-
der the course of construction,
and all residents there are pros
porous. No threshing has yet
been done in the vicinity Of Ed
monton, and most of the grain is
still in shock. Wheat has been
damaged by the frost about the
same it was here, and although
the yield is from 80 to 40 bushels
to the acre, the grade is mostly
under No. 2. Oats, however, is
better, and Mr.. Blenkner brought
a handful of that grain home
with him to show his friends
here what can be done in the
line of oats. The kernels were
almost as large as beans, and we
are told a bushel Of this oats
weighed 48 pounds, and threshed
80 bushels to the acre. Mr..
Blenkner will stay here during
winter and will have charge of
the Pioneer Store. He is a good
business man, is very popular

MAN IN TROUBLE

Assault on Several of His

Section Foreman Emil Freid-

Friday on a warrant issued out
of Justice Kopriva's court on a
charge of assault preferred
against him by several of his
men. The men who had been
working on the local section for
some time and were living in the
section house jumped their jobs
Friday, whereupon the foreman
told them they would have to
vacate their place Of abode. This
they refused to do, thinking that
as they were greater in number,
they were not obliged to pay
any attention to any of the de-
mands of the foreman after they
had quit their jobs. After a
short quarrel the foreman
brought out a revolver and
though he did not point it at the
men, he said he would use it in
case they refused to vacate. The
men Immediately had the fore
man arrested. The foreman en-
ployed Attorney Geo. H. Gjert-
sen to defend him, and on being
arranged a change of venue was
taken to Justice Bienkner's
court. Here the case was con-
tinued until yesterday forenoon
on motion of the defense, and
when the case came up another
continuance was taken until next
week.
