moving picture theaters. The Count
has posed for a picture story of his

In the next scene the Count Is shown

Properly Balanced Food.

Even silage from mature corn is not
a properly balanced food, and clover
or alfalfa hay and a little bran should
be fed with 1t. Alfalfa hay is better
than clover to feed with corn silage,
and with it it is possible to omit the
bran. Alfalfa is wonderful plant,
and some one of the varieties will
grow almost anywhere in the United
States. while it is nearly drought
proof Every dairyman who has not
done SO already should try it in a
small way; If he can make one acre
a success he can then try a larger
field. Corn is our other drought re-
sisting crop. and If the moisture in the
ground be conserved by about two
inches Of loose fine dirt mulch, it is
surprising how little rain is required
to make good crop. In times of
drought and when the corn has grown
too tall for the two-horse cultivator,
a fine tooth single walking cultivator
will go far toward irrigating the fields.

SCREENS AND POINTS

IN Digging Wells for Irrigation Screens

Ten Feet In Lenqth-Easier

Screens or slotted points must b.

Il the beds are thick ones. In yer!
thick beds two or more sections O
screen, one above the other should be
used. Such screens are often made II
sections, SO that they can be screwed
together on the spot. Completed
screens are now regularly made by the
well point manufacturers in consider
able lengths, reaching to 20 feet or 6
full pipe length. The small size points
are made from standard wrought pipe
in which holes have been punched
covered with brass wire cloth and per
forated brass jacket to protect the
cloth The largest we'll point machines
do not, as a rule, handle over 10-inch
pipe II larger than this, holes must
be drilled, which increases cost rap
idly. For convenience in handling
shipping and placing, screens should
not be ordered over ten feet In length.
This length is preferred by the trade,
says the Pumps and Supplies.
II single screen will not furnish
water enough, or If the water bearing
strata is not deep enough. two or more
screen points may be sunk independ-
emit of each other and far enough apart
so that they will not interfere or rob
one another. These screens may then
be connected to a common suction
pipe or arranged to drain into COM
mon central we'll Screen points, as a
rule, should never be less than two
thirds the diameter of the cylinder,
and for work of this character it Is al
ways better If they are as large as the
cylinder: the more serene surface the
morew ater will come through.
1t has been found that the coarsest
sand and gravel is frequently at the
bottom Of the water-bearing strata;
hence it is important that the screen
point should reach into the bed of this
coarse material 1t is well understood
that water flows more freely through
the coarse sand and gravel and that
the screen will not clog up. Then, too,
deep driving protects the well against
lowering Of the water level by other
wells in the immediate vicinity, or on
the same vein some distance away. In
river bottoms, where water-bearing
sznd is sometimes found 100 feet or
more In thickness, 1t would not be
necessary to put screen point down
to the bottom of the strata; but close
attention should be given, however, in
such case to the relative coarseness of
the sand or gravel in which the screen
point is lodged. Under no circum-
stances should 1t be set in anything
but the coarsest.
The top of the screen point in any
case should be some distance below
the water level. The water level will
be, of course, the height to which the
water rises in the well, but on being
pumped this level may drop-it gen.

to put the screen so low that it will be
below the water line even when sup
plying the greatest amount of water
1t can furnish. BY keeping the screen
sufficiently low, any danger from the
admission of air will be avoided.

Field Mice.

Field mice do not attack old trees
If they can get the bark of young trees,
and they sometimes do much damage
to orchards. Wrap the trees with
tarred paper, extending the paper sew.
eral inches into the ground. This
method not only prevents the depreda-
tons of mice, but also serves to pro-
tect against the borers. The paper
need not extend over q foot above
ground.
