UncompIImentary Comparison.

A Philadelphia school director Ia
mostly bald, and one of his sons took
advantage of the fact to make plain
to his teacher his understanding Of
geography. The teacher had defined
a desert as a barren tract, and in order
to impress the pupils with 1t she had
asked them to define 1t and give an
example. When the school directors
boy was questioned he answered
promptly and correctly. and by way Of
illustration said: "A desert is a great
big tract that's barren, like pas head

saves food; fourth, results in better
condition and more comfort for the
farm animals; fifth, a greater pro-
duction of beef, milk, wool or NUT
ton; sixth, increased quality and
quantity of barnyard manure. The
disadvantages are, that it requires in
creased labor. In u small irrigated
farms, however, there is no question
but that the increased profit more
than compensates for the extra labor.
Mr.. H. Stewart, who has had many
years of experience in soiling, says
that $1.00 spent in extra labor by
this system, is replaced ten times over
in the saving of land, saving of feed
and saving of manure There is no
reason why the farmer should object
to extra labor when there is found
to be a profit in it. 1t is rarely that
a man accumulates wealth from the
labor of his own hands.
Some of u western farmers have
tried this system and have found that
the soiling system gives even better
results here than in the eastern Sec
ton. This is due to the fact that in
the east lack of moisture may at crit
ical times seriously retard the growth
of plants, while here under irrigation
moisture a be applied at any time
desired.
Some years ago l made an expert
ment with the soiling system i'm Salt
Lake county. 1t may seem somewhat
surprising to say that the product of
two acres of ground proved sufficient
to maintain IL dairy cows from the
18th of May until the 5th Of October.
1t should be added, however, that
these COWS ate in addition to the feeds
suggested here, some alfalfa, and each
had a daily grain ration varying from
four to eight pounds. The following
soiling crops vel used and the time
of sowing is shown, as we'll as the
time of cutting, the daily feed per
COW and the acreage required for IL
cows:

The Mixture to select--Many of the

~ w 1SA~Ns NNS
grass mixtures given out by the seed
houses are silly conglomerations,
some of which are made up of a few
good varieties and then poor ones
thrown in simply to throw chaff in
to the eye of the customer. Howev-
er, there are many advantages in mix
lures rather than single seed. Some
grasses start very early in the
spring, while others do not begin un-
til late in the summer, and there
are scarcely two grasses that have
the same time of growth. By COM
bining them we have, therefore, a
constant succession of fresh succu-
lent grasses. The evil in a mixture
is that sometimes there is in it a
grass of inferior quality, and that
one will be neglected and the others
grazed, so that after a time the in
ferior grass is left in the ascendancy.
l have tested a number of different
mixtures on various soils and have
found the following mixture of grass
es an excellent one for the intermoun-
tain sections.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-01-19

seeding these at the rate of " BUSH
els to the acre each, drilling the oats
one way and cross drilling with the
peas. The peas should be put in
deeper than the oats. There are some
farmers in Salt Lake county who feel
that peas and oats are more profita-
BILE as a forage crop than alfalfa, and
since experimenting with this crop
have decided that the alfalfa weevil
has no terrors for them.
1t will be observed that when seed
ing peas and oats the second seeding
is made. ~ days after the first, sim
ply so that We may have the crop in
right condition for feeding. If al
lowed to stand too long the crop is
not %palatable. Corn, of course, should
be sowed thick. The most convenient
way of planting is with the grain drill
so arranged as to drop a kernel ev-
cry 4 to 6 inches and in rows about
Is inches apart. Barley is planted
with peas in a later seeding, not be-
cause barley Is any better than oats,
but simply because it thrives so much
better in the dry, hot part of the sea-
son than does oats.
There are a great many other crops
that are used for soiling purposes in
other sections of the country, such as
winter vetch, COW peas, sofa beans,
etc., but these crops do not seem to
thrive we'll under the climatic con-
ditions prevailing here.
| do not mean to infer that dairy
cattle are the only animals that a
be successfully put under the soiling
system. 1t is just as feasible to soil
horses or sheep as it is cattle. l be-
lieve, too, that this system works as
we'll on cheap land as on high priced
lands. The system is an excellent ap-
plication of the idea of "a small farm
we'll titled, etc." 1t is my firm con-
viction that nowhere in the world will
a soiling system work to better ad-
vantage than right here in the irri-
gated valleys of the west.

Summer Colony of Chicago Society.

Chicago, Dec. 23.--Lake Geneva, Wis,
has been invaded by John Arthur john
son, negro champion pugilist of the
heavy weight variety, who has pur-
chased the magnificent bungalow that
was the home of the late Helen NJ. Shcr-
man. The sale wah made by the estate
and the deal was closed without the
identity Of the purchaser being known.
The bungalow lies between the sum
mer home of Henry j. Evans, retired
millionaire, director of the National Bis
cult company and many other mann
mouth enterprises, and that of Julian
Rumsey. Not far away is the summer
palace of John j. Mitchell president of
the Illinois Trust & Savings bank.
johnson paid $4,000 for the property
for Christmas present for his new white
wife. Lucille Cameron, and with her will
spend the holidays there, beginning
Tuesday.
The champion has also purchased a
farm nearby, wherein he will breed i'm
ported cows and buffalo in an endeavor
to raise a new and better strain of milk
cattle.
Mr.. Mitchell epitomizes the situation
in these words: 1T is certainly case
of blackmale; perhaps the spelling of
the last syllable may turn out to be
wrong"

Great Copper Reserve.

| The copper industry in the United
| States has shown notable growth, ac-
cording to the United States geological
survey. I'm ls45. when important pro,
duction of copper in this country practi-
cally began, the output was but 224,o0O
pounds, but it increased 100 per cent
the following year and gained by rapid
strides until 1880 when the production
was l,456,oo0 pounds. In 1870 it was
rs. 224 900 pounds in 1890 it had in
creased to 606,ll7, l66 pounds; in 1903
it passed the billion mark, with l,092,-
95l ,624 pounds and in 1911 it exceeded
all previous records with production
of 1907 .232,749 pounds. The worlds
production in 1911 was 1865, 20l ,2s5
pounds. of which So per cent was the
output of the United States.
1t is noteworthy that, unlike areas
producing most other metals, not one OF
the leading copper districts of the United
States, several of which have been active
producers for period of 80 years or
more. has been worked out or showed
marked decrease in its ability to pro-
duce copper. Twelve districts situated
in eight states have each contributed
over l00,000,000 pounds to the copper
output of the country. or a total of ~
per cent of the whole output of tine
United States since ls45. -Four Of these
districts are in Arizona, two in Cali!or-
MIA. and one each in Montana, Michigan,
Nevada. New Mexico. Tennessee, and
Utah. Two districts stand out promi-
nently. the Butte district. Montana.
which has contributed over one-third OF
the output of the country, and the Lake
Superior district, Michigan. with pro
duction of little less than one-third OF
the total output.
