MY next plan was most successful
one. Attached to the sheep-barn q
sheppard was constructed OF boards,
leaving no cracks on the outside
fences. The partition between this
yard and another adjoining was a
board fence with cracks not more than
three inches wide. On the outside OF
the sheppard were dogguards which
prevented dog from jumping over
into the yard. The partition fence al.
% had guards SO that dog could not
Jump over from the adjoining lot. This
yard also had the guard on II, but they
were on the inside. so that on6e he
had gained access dog could not get

was constructed of woven wire, with

into the contiguous lot to get into the

entrance to this inclosure they had

GOOD POINT ON IRRIGATION
No Greater Mistake Could Be Con-
celved Than That OF Throwing
Water on Plants In Sunlight.

A good many people have an idea
that water shall not be thrown on
plants In full sunlight. No greater
mistake could be conceived, says .

damage to crop occurs during the
noon hours, and II we could spray
our fields between . and o'clock.
say once an hour, we could overcome
severe droughts very well. In our
case there was never enough water
used to wet the earth so as to form a
crust; we used the wheel hoe freely
to keep the soil mulch in shape and
only enough water to prevent tagging
In the hot sun. The results obtained
were beyond expectations. Plants
made excellent progress and the cost
Of this treatment would be no greater
than the constant wedding and hoe

Wherever there are dogs and sheep
together there Is constant danger that
the latter will at some time suffer.
Sheep are 80 constructed that even
worrying by dogs seems to shock their
nervous systems to such an extent
that they seldom prove probable. In
most states there are laws against
depreciation by dogs. but because Of
their construction many Of them are
dead letters. writes G. w. Franklin. In
the Country Gentleman.
have long since ceased to look
to the law for any loss sustained In
depredations by dogs. I take the
privilege Of protecting my sheep In
my own way. My first precaution was
to provide plenty OF bells--as many as
one to every six or ten animals.
When the sheep were unduly excited
the bells made such noise that they
would frighten some dogs, and would
at least arouse sleepers to look after
the hock Finding that this did not
work satisfactorily. however. hung
lanterns out near the sheppard, but
the dogs became 90 bold they paid no
attention to the lights or to the noises.

DYNAMITE TO DIG DITcHEs
Western Farmers Now Blow UP Earth
to Let Water Through-Swamp
Lands Difficult to Ditch.

Western farmers are now employing
dynamite to dig drainage bitches. The
method is simple and effective In wet
and damp ground.
The first step necessary Is to de-
termine on where to put the ditch and
how wide and how deep It shall be.
Then holes are punched with crow
bar at two foot intervals along the
course Of the center Of the proposed
ditch. In to each hole an Neight-inch
dynamite cartridge Is dropped ana
tamped In with the mud.
After punching 75 or 100 Of these
holes and loading them, a time fuse
and blasting cap is applied to the
center one. When It explodes all the
rest follow suit. A long sheet of mud
flies into the air, and there is left q
fairly well made ditch. The excavat-
ed dirt is scattered over the adjacent
land. much to its enrichment, and
there IL little need for the shovel ex-
cept to even up the sides. The first
time the water goes through 1t trues
w tACbc Uduk6. rT ~ n
The depth of the ditch is regulated
entirely by the depth to which the
cartridges are sunk. When an extra
wide ditch is required all that is nec-
essary is to put in q double row Of
cartridges. This center firing method
has been found to- be possible only
where the soil Is damp and compact.
In sandy or other dry and loose soils
the charge cannot be depended upon
to set on each Of the others. but q
separate cap and fuse must be placed
on each to make sure.
Swamp lands. It has been found.
are difiicult to ditch in this way. be-
cause almost Invariably they are un-
derlaid with hardpan, through which
the water has never been able to es-
cape. This hardpan Is usually several
feet in thickness. and the plan fol-
lowed Is to bore hole with an exten-
sion auger down almost to the bot
tom Of the hardpan. Several cart.
ridges are usually necessary to secure
force enough to break open the hard
pan and allow the water to seep
through. thus draining It OF and leav-

the potatoes are lifted from the ground.
During transportation the plow may be
lifted out Of the ground, and by means
OF the lever 1t may be held at any de-
sired depth. The arrangement of the
beam of the plow moving between the
frame sections prevents any lateral
swinging movement Of the said beam

place of their own, when they get the

consists In saturating with lard .

swells up on the liquids Of the stom-
