When the young woman and ner

the sympathetic neighbors were sor-

The girls made it known that

In the springtime Miss Loretta
Judson may be seen in the fields
with her team of big black horses

land for the coming crop of corn or
oats. A little later in the season she
bitches her team to the checkrower

The girls take pleasure in showing
visitors over the farm and talking OF
their plans to build up the place ana

they never boast of having done any

have done. They are able not only to
show well-kept farm, but they can

Milking Machines.

The use OF milking machines has
beep considerably extended In Vic
toria. Australia. during the past sea-
son; and. owing to the scarcity OF
suitable labor on dairy farms, their
adoption may be expected to become
even more general. The provincial
board OF agriculture says: 1T is ad.
visable to emphasize that the utmost
care and cleanliness are necessary. A
haphazard method Of dealing with rub
Ter tubes and fittings cannot be toler-
ated. Greater care Is necessary with
these machines than Is the case with
the ordinary pail; but, given that ex.
ira intelligent attention. milking by
machinery should not detrimentally
AFFECT the quality OF the product. 1t is
advisable to cleanse the cows teats
before attaching the milking cups and
to carefully strip every COW after the
machine is detached to see that no
milk has been left behind. Animals
regarding which there may be any sus.
picion should be hand.milked. With
these precautions the machine will
answer every purpose

Cutting Corn for Silaee.

The composition Of corn undergoes
rapid changes from the tasseling pc.
riod until maturity. The dry matter
shows an increase OF one and three.
iifths tons per acre from the time the
corn is In tassel until the kernels are
dented. Tasseled corn has only one
fifth as much dry matter as mature
corn. 1t is owing to such changes
that corn must be cut at the proper
stage II II Is to make the best silage.
II cut too green, the silage will sour
more easily and will not possess the
fullest food value, Immature corn Is
often the cause Of the complaints TIM,
silage makes undesirable milk. II GU,
too ripe. the desired succulencc is lost
The proper stage for cutting Is when
the lower leaves have commenced to
fire and brown, yet when the greater
part OF the leaves are still green. The
kernels should be out Of the milh
stake and dented and hardened.

IRRIGATE IN VARIOUS WAYS
Current Motors Used to Force Water
From Rapidly Moving Rivers
Other Pumps on earses.

Irrigation as practiced by the an
clients and in the early days OF its ex.
ploitation In this country was purely
a matter Of gravity. Though most of
the government irrigation projects are
based upon the gravity principle there
are numerous successful irrigation
districts where various other forces
are employed.
The government has pumping
plant on the Williston project In
North Dakota In which the pumps are
located upon barges on account OF the
varying heights OF water In the Mis-.
souri, river. Connection is made to
the canals along the shore by fexi.
BILE pipes.
In the only government irrigation
project in Kansas water Is obtained
by pumping from twenty-three wells,
the pumps being driven from central
power station. In certain instances
on other projects water is pumped to
higher benches from canals which are
filled by gravity and which supply a
lower portion Of the irrigated tract by
gravity.
In New Mexico and a part OF west
Texas the water supply is from wells
some freely flowing artesian and some
from which water has to be pumped
In Arizona. on one of the government
projects, use is made Of a large wheel
to elevate water from low line" Ia
high line" canals
Water distribution is effected In
various ways. Generally the water
flows by gravity in open canals and
bitches; sometimes in pipes under,
ground with hydrants at intervals dis
charging into bitches; sometimes for
truck gardens and the like, In overhead
sprinkler pipes. One system resembles
the rotating lawn sprinkler on large
and numerous scale.

INJURY BY ovER-lRRIeATlon
Costs More to Get Water Out Of Irri-

This is all too true, and explains
why dry farming, where the subsoil is
sufficiently moist, is in so many places
showing results almost as good. and
occasionally better, than oyer-irriga.

Extensive travel and observation in
the great irrigated sections OF Cali.
fornia, Washington. Colorado and
Montana has convinced us that where
the country is at all level, the old say.
ing is true. that In time, 1T takes
more money to get the water out OF
an irrigated country than 1t does to
get 1t into It," When we were in
Fresno. California. last, the people of
that country were holding public dis.
cussions on how best to relieve 1t
from the ruinous sub.irrigation which
SHOWS up In lakes in some spots. and
IN malaria or ruined vineyards and
orchards In others. 1t was estimated
by some who were advocating appeal.
Ing TO the government for aid, that 1t
would take several millions of dollars
to rid that and an adjoining county of
surplus water.
We believe that dry farming meth.
DDS can be used In connection with ir.
rigation. even in the more level and
slow draining sections so that most
OF the evils of over-irrigation can be
avoided; and We believe, too. that the
widespread interest In dry farming ia

and all newly irrigated sections pay
little attention to these warnings, till
sickness or serious loss stares them
In the face. and then the cost Of rem
edying is great.

In many sections Of the irrigated

The irrigation OF crops is new SCI

has not been approached In its prac-
tical application. The excessive use
OF water Is natural tendency under
the conditions which have developed
this science. The farmer does not at.
tempt to determine the amount Of
moisture his land carries under nor
nal conditions, nor what degree Of
moisture certain crop requires. The
men OF science have demonstrated
that an excess over 90 per cent. Is det-
rimental to almost all crops. This ex-
cess OF moisture excludes the air from
the soil and at the same time. car
ries of the fertility OF the soil and
impoverishes the land permanently.

CATION by sub or surface flow from
the field. The system OF irrigation
which creates swamp conditions not
only wastes the water but wastes the
fertility OF the land that Is being irri-
gated. This double waste should be
effectively stopped by the authority
Of law.
While We are extending millions OF
dollars in redeeming plants we are
making extensive swamps by an ex-
trayagant waste Of water. When land
Is correctly irrigated there can be no
waste OF water TO overflow or make
swamps by capillary flow. These. new
swamps are presenting serious engi.

sins Is expensive and uncertain. The
