IRRIGATION OLD AS HILLS
nature OF Crops so Varied That
o Of Moisture Needed Must
Be- First Ascertained.

tBy r. l. PARsHALL. Colorado Agricul-
r tural College.)
irrigation Is as old as the hills
n Is artificially supplying moisture
70 the soil for the growth of plants.
In all these years the science Of ir.
r1gat,on has not been made exact.
nature Is SO varied that irrigation
must be made to meet the existing
conditions.
0 Is composed Of minute parti-
cIes, irregular in appearance, and,
"nen collected into a mass, there is
a certain part of this that is a
and In this space water may be
stored. 1t Is this water so held in
the soil that is useful to the growth
or plants. A certain crop must have
a certain mount of moisture for
us needs; too much may be detri-
mental; no enough may cause the
ioss or the crop, but fortunately the
limits are wide. The particular ques-
tlon always arises: What is the re-
CURED amount of water for a 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 n case may be too much
or not enough in other cases. Eff
c1ent irrigation consists in supplying
the requisite amount Of moisture to
tie soil, and this may be accc mplished
by adding water to the ground, or
regulating the drainage. 1t has been
said hat 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 a pan and
place in an owe of moderate tenn
perature for several hours. When
cooled to the temperature of the
room. weigh again. The difference
between the weights of the damp soil
an" the dry soil will give the weight
Of free water, or moisture that Is
for the growth tot plants.

Would Add to New York Parks.


Another important office of the pro.
posed park and parkway system sug.
gested for New York would be to pro.
tect the great bridges, says the Sun
OF that city. The space under and for

approaches should be included in the
park space and should be free OF

migration along that part of the East
river containing the approaches of the

these bridges.
IN such a case the loss to the PEG

would probably be greatly in excess
OF the actual money value Of the de.

BETTER Teeth
fewer DENTISTS BILLS

Your teeth decay because particles
OF food get into crevices between and
around the teeth and create germs
OF decay. Ordinary tooth powders
and washes are entirely inadequate
to prevent it.
Try Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic, a de-
licious, harmless germicide. Just a
little in a glass Of water, and rinse the
mouth and brush the teeth thoroughly.
1t will whiten the teeth, prevent
and remove tartar. destroy all germs
of decay and save you dentists bills.
Paxtine thoroughly cleanses, de-
odorizes and keeps pure and odorless
false teeth and b~ridgework. Paxtine
is far superior to liquid a%ntiseptics
and peroxide for all toilet and n.y.
gienic uses. At Druggists % and soc.

Clearing New Ground.

Flowing with %grubbing and pulling
out the larger stools is the only
method fully Endorsed by most prac-
tical farmers in the infested regions.
The general method is to go into the
field with a strong team. heavy pillow
and two or three men. All except the
largest plants a be turned out with
the pillow. 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 48
hours, If the weather Is dry, all ex-
cept the largest roots will burn. Three
men with a strong team will clear up
from one-fourth to three-fourths of an
acre a day.

A Preaching Cross Restored.

The preaching cross in the village
Of burlington, situated amid romantic
surroundings or the northern side of
the Mendip hills. has, by the generos-
ity of Col. Evan H. Llewellyn, been
restored. 1t Is recorded that early in
1905 the handsome fifteenth century
base of the cross-all that then re-
manned of twas removed and uti-
liked in building a new house for the
then parish clerk. Happily, the orna-
mental dial stone did not share the
same fate, and this has been incor-
porated into its original position in
the new cross. Three broad and mas
sive steps carry the old socket upon
which rests a tall monolith shaft,
which is crowned by one of those
lantern-shaped canopies so peculiar to
the west country.-From the London
Standard.

MONEY THAT IS WELL SPENT
Insurance Companies Could Not Do
Better Than Seek to Improve
Dwelling Places.

The great life insurance companies
have been bestirring themselves in
the last two or three Years and look
Ing into the subject Of how and why
longevity is increasing and how it can
be made to increase still further.
They have found that more people
reach forty-five years Of age than
ever before in the history Of the
world, but that they die faster after
forty-ive than they ever did before.
The high pressure Of modern life,
they say. is to blame for this as we'll
AZ for the tremendous increase of In
sanity.
Although human life Is lengthening
30 much the mortality tables upon
which the insurance companies base
the premiums they charge their eli.
ents are more than fifty years old.
Nearly half the population of the
United States Is insured and the com.
panies are reaching out after the
other half. Many plans have been
devised for the lengthening of the
lives Of the policy holders SO that
they may pay premiums the greatest
possible number of years. Most of
these plans have been along the lines
Of the prevention Of tuberculosis and
other prevalent diseases, but none of
them has been carried out except in
theory az yet. 1t Is safe to say, how
ever. that If the great insurance com
panies, with the i~ncalculable sums of
money that they control, should take
up seriously the question of purifying
and lettering the cities in which
their policy holders live they would
get their investments back
many times owe through the in
income. In the village of
a suburb of Birmingham,
England, the death rate is less than
half what 1t is in Birmingham. The
is owned and kept sanitary by
great manufacturing that
gives employment to it's Inhabitants
and spends money in keeping them

LIVE STOCk NOTES.

A draft horse is always In demand.
Feed all animals a balanced ration.
A good brood SOW should be well
kept,
Do not feed the horses all the hay
they will eat.
Ample feed should be always kept
before the sheep.
Turnips, carrots and sugar beets
make fine feed for sheep.
See that the live stock have careful
attention and plenty of feed.
Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt
and foul odors affect sheep quickly.
Do not allow the brood mare to
stand In the barn without any exer.
else.
Water is cheap, but 1t is a neces-
sity for sustaining the life of the
stock.
While the work horses are O do
ing heavy work. their feed should not
be very heavy.
Do not neglect to give the sows a
chance to eat some clover hay or corn.
stalks each day.
Feed that will keep the bowels open
is the best for this time Of the year..
Wheat bran helps to do 1t.
Pure bred colts viii sell for more
at one or W. years OF age than will
grade horses when fully mature.
Keeping animals on the farm
that do not pay profits is a poor way
succeed in accommodating prop
erty.
Perhaps no other kind Of animals
the farm are SO likely to be neglect
ed in regard 10 exercise as brood
sows.
Oats are considered by many horse
men to be most valuable. They are.
however. very expensive. and many
other feeds have taken their place.
Be sure that the pigs are not lousy.
Kerosene oil rubbed on a hogs back
is good for lice. But look out and
not have 1t too strong. and do not rub
too hard. or you may make q blister.

Asparagus Seed.

Order asparagus seed now and start
your own plants. It pays to buy seed
from special growers who sell selected
seed from rust-free plantations. Make
ground rich SO the roots will be
strong at the end of one season.
Asparagus is q go~od-paying crop. It
brings In cash early in the season
when there is little else to sell. Clean
tirage and high fertility are essential
10 success.

FEEDING Cows.

l always feed after milking and feed
