CLEARING New Ground.

Flowing with grubbing and pulling
out the larger stools is the only
method fully Endorsed by most prac-
tlcal farmers in the infested regions.
The general method is to go into the
field with strong team. heavy plow
and two or three men. All except the
largest plants can be turned out with
the plow. The largest must be
grubbed out or pulled with horse and
chain. After picking up the plants
that are thoroughly loosened the
piece is gone over with a spring tooth
harrow to loosen up and drag out the
rest The plants are piled, and in AZ
hours, II the weather is dry. all ex-
cept the largest roots will burn. Three
men with strong team will clear up
from one-fourth to three-fourths Of an
acre a day.

IRRIGATION OLD AS HILLS
Nature Of Crops so Varied That
Amount of Moisture Needed Must
Be First Ascertalneo.

lBy r. L. PARSHALI.. Colorado Agricul-
tural Collegel
Irrigation is as old as the hills.
and is artificially supplying moisture
to the soil for the growth of plants.
In all these years the science of ir-
rigation has not been made exact
Nature is so varied that irrigation
must be made to meet the existing
conditions
Soil is composed of minute parti-
Giles, irregular in appearance. and.
when collected into mass. there is
a certain part of this that is space.
and in this space water may be
stored. II is this water so held In
the soil that is useful to the growth
of plants. A certain crop must have
certain amount of moisture for
its needs: too much may be detri-
mental: not enough may cause the
loss of the crop. but fortunately the
limits are wide. The particular ques-
ton always arises: What is the re-
quired amount of water for maxi
mum yield?
We first find that soils differ in
their makeup; different subsoils; the
slope OF the ground varies in differ
ent localities, and general climatic
conditions may be different. All these
considered. 1t may be said that what
would be the proper amount to
supply in one case may be too much
or not enough in other cases. Eth
cient irrigation consists in supplying
the requisite amount of moisture to
the soil. and this may be accomplished
by adding water to the ground. or
regulating the drainage. 1t has been
said that good plant growth will re-
suit If We have one pound of free
moisture in the soil to about ten
pounds of soil. This. OF course, is
general. and depends upon the kind
OF soil and the kind OF crop
You might make a test and deter
mine for yourself the right amount
for your farm and particular crop.
First. select a place in your field
where the plant growth seems to
be best. Take from the roots Of the
plants a sample OF the soil, which
should be an average from the top
root to the lower roots. Place this
sample Immediately into sealed jars
of known weight. Weigh the jars
and contents and the increase will
be the true weight of soil and moist
ure. Put the soil in pan and
place in an oven of moderate TEN
perature for several hours. When
cooled to the temperature OF the
room, weigh again. The difference
between the weights OF the damp sol
an the dry soil will give the weight
Of free water, or moisture that 1:

NEW STYLES IN LINGERIE
Underwear Takes on More Attrae-
tons Than Usual in Offerings
for This Season.

In the struggle for life this season.
for at some time the lingerie has been
reduced to a minimum. underwear has
taken on more attractions than usual.
The well-ftted models. the exquisite
embroidery and the fine materials OF
which lingerie is now made are con
vincing to the woman who Is search
ing for bargains
For brides especially has the new
lingerie decided attractions The fine
muslins without stiffening are as
varied as the morning hours are from
the evening. They should be. kept so.
too. which point Is worth remember
ing. They are most durable when
lace Is absent. In other words. II you
are planning a sensible outfit to last
more than one year, use embroidery.
Even the finest swiss and batiste en-
broidery outlasts lace. II can be used
a second time in many cases.
F1ounces should not be too full for
the spring and summer. The straight
skirt is slightly fuller but does not
fare. It's straight lines must not be
interfered with by any undernounce.
Corset covers OF allover embroidery
or wide houncing are very sensible
for the dressy kind They should be-
cut with little fullness at the waist.
for the same reason that bulk has
been eliminated from the petticoat
The fitted corset cover with the circu-
lar peplum is the most satisfactory.
Nightgowns made on empire lines
are probably moving toward first
/ place. The short upper portion is
gathered into a straight band OF EN-.
broidery or beading. Flowing or
pulled sleeves are quite short.
As usual. the handmade lingerie has
a value not TO be gainsaid. The French
importations will always be favore
by the woman with money to indulge
her longings.
The extremely plain lingerie with
tape drawing strings and a plain seal
loped edge is the kind that should APP
peal to practical minds. They com
bine daintiness with excellent wear
ing qualities. and they are inexpen
sive.
Demand a good-1tting model and
high quality of material. and you

They are all speculating today.
One thing-and almost only
one-is certain today. That is
that no one except the murderer

Story of the Crime.
No one saw the murderer
skulking about the house. No
one saw him enter. There was
no outcry in the night.
= The young couple had gone to
bed about 10 o'clock. Uncle Pete
McNett, who had been at the
house, left at 8. Cobel set the
alarm clock for midnight. SO he
could get up and take care of
his sick horse He left the lam
tern all but turned out beside the
bed.
Some time between 10 and IL,
1t is thought, the murderer came
up to the ill-fated house. He
may have looked in the bed room
window. The moonlight shone
on the faces of the young couple,
sound asleep.
He went to the back Of the
house. The ak lay at the wood
pile. He picked it up. Noise

still slept. The light guided his

The Girl Awoke.
The girl had one terrible mo-
ment of consciousness, awoke
with the blow that killed her hus-
band, to see the fiend raising his
ak for a second. Before she could
scream, while she was still plung-
ing under the covers the blow fell
again.
Then the fiend laid the ak un-
der the bed, smoothed the bed
clothes over his victim, and stole
away as quietly as he had come.
The village slept on.

Mcqueen, the man detained at

because he had threatened an
other man. He had had nothing
to do with the Cobels, but he was
alleged to be demented and had
threatened to kill some one, SO
obviously he was the man.
Swan Peterson had quit his job
Tuesday without calling for his
pay and had disappeared. Ger
tainly he was the man.
Arthur Pierce, middle aged
