1t Is generally agreed, I think, tina,
as the west is usually subject to only
a rather light rainfall which means
briefly "A lack of moisture" the con.
servation of such is of the utmost i'm.
portance. Experiences have found
mat the summerfallow is the best and
practically the only method by which
we can hold the surplus moisture OF

crop In the following season. One
might lken the fallow into a reser.

Bacteria for Alfalfa Soil.

Alfalfa needs a certain kind of bac.
terra In the soil to give the best re
suits. These bacteria live on the
roots of the plants. and give off as a
b%y-product the nitrogen which the
plant needs. This is an example OF
cooperation in nature.
In the soils where sweet clover has
grown these bacteria are usually pres.
ent. If they are not, it is sometimes
necessary to get soil from some field
where alfalfa is growing, or some
sweet clover soil. and scatter it over
the alfalfa patch. This is called lin
oculating the soil"

WATERING COWS IN THE BARN
Successful psiryman Rigs Up Port.
able Tank. Large Enough for
Three Animals to Drink.

4 successful dairyman recently out
lined TO us his method OF watering
the cows In the barn. says the Ohio
Farmer lie objected 10 using the
long. continuous feed trough for wa
tering. his objections being that there
Will be in the process considerable
evaporation into the atmosphere OF
the barn. Damp air in the barn
means that II will be- chilly. The evap-
grafton from the cutters and radia.
ton from the COWS saturate the air
more than Il should be without any
further addition from the trough.
To overcome that objection and yet
provide n means OF watering in the
stall he had rigged a trough on low
wheels. This movable tank was 70
constructed that II would run nicely
above the continuous feed trough. In
that way the cows can be watered In
a very short while without being
loorened from their stalls. The tank
was made long enough so that three
cows could drink at a time. A man
may be sweeping the feedway at the
same time or doing other work while
moving this tank cart from time TO
time.

NOTES


The dairy increases the crop yield.
As a soiling crop for milk and brood
sows alfalfa is superior to the clovers.
Three feeds q day for the new calf
are better than the same amount In
two feeds.
Doesn't Il look as though the cows
would never get enough when hay is
up to SIS or SIS?
Why not find out Just how many OF
the herd are boarders, and then get
rid OF the boarders?
Sometimes il is well TO improve the
man with the cows while working for
Improvement among the cows.
Why should the horse be curried
and brushed any more than the COW
that produces part OF what We eat?
Cows givirg milk should have one
quart of corn chop and one quart OF
wheat bran mixed with the cut fodder
three times a day.
II you have six cows and no sepa.
rator sell one OF the cows and buy a
separator. You will save work and
make money by the deal
Selecting the best heifer calves from
the best cows and keeping frst'class
sire, are methods of building up a
dairy herd within the reach OF all OF
us.
One OF our dairy farmers writes
that he has been keeping some rec
ords and finds that since feeding silage
his profits have increased about 80 per
cent.
A canvas or oilcloth cover for the
separator is one Of the little things
that helps keep the machine In good
running order and prolongs Its use
fuiness.
Two pounds Of butter will soon be
worth as much as a bushel OF wheat.
One way OF increasing profits In
many dairy herds would be to sell
some Of the cows for beef.

CANNOT GET TO CHURCH Or SCHOOL NOW
The Water For Two Miles Up Broadway Drains Into The Public Square
and Lead Streets Completely BIockadug Pedestrians. The
School Children and Church Goers Kept at Home

1t has been mentioned a num-
ber of times heretofore about
the great need of more side
walks. We have not spoken
hastily on this subject We
have waited patiently for some
action on the part of the proper
authorities, but it seems that
nothing is being done at this
time along this line.
The sidewalk question is very
well cared for around the square
and to the Santa Fe depot, and
it is a wonderful Improvement
over the old way of wading
water knee deep to get to the
depot when the weather was
wet. There is a great need of
additional walks on some of the
lead streets and to do without
them means a great lnconven-
ience to the general public.
Every lead street out from the
square should have walks at
least on one side of them. South
Cedar street should have a walk
from the Western Windmill
Company's store south far as the
tabernacle and North Cedar
street should have at least two
blocks of walks north from the
fremont Hotel. West Broad
way should have a walk as far
as the west line of the original
own section, as a large per cent
If the people live in the western

part of the town and a walk on
the north side of Broadway
would prevent having to wade
water to get TO and from town.
This portion of the needed walks
is important because of the needs
of the school children. When it
is wet weather it is a hard prop
osltion to get to the school build
ing. and the church going people
are at disadvantage too.
Walks on the streets as suggest
ed would largely overcome the
difficulties at the present time.
and we believe that it should be
done right away.
Very soon cold weather will
set in and past experience has
taught us ~that cement walks
put down during freeze do not
prove satisfactory, hence it
should be done before hard
freezing weather begins.
We know that we will hear
the complaint that money Is
scarce and hard to get hold of
for that kind of work, but we
spend hundreds of dollars for
other things that are not needed
half so badly, hence we say that
If We wait for everyone to get
ready that we will never do
and the sooner we be-
gin the better. Lets get busy.
The Avalanche has one lot in
this suggested string and we
are ready to say do it now.

SNeE0'S CONFEDERATE
Man Alleged to Have Assisted
Sneed in Recent Tragedy is
Arrested at faducah.

Beach B. Epting. aged thirty
four, having a wife and six chill
dren, cotton farmer living fif-
teen miles south of Paducah,
Cottle county, Texas, was arrest
ed Friday by Sheriff j. l..
Backus of Cottle county and O.
J. Gilvin of Amarillo, and was
lodged in Jail in Amarillo late
Friday night on complaint charg-
ing him with being confederate
of j. Beal Sneed, now under in
dictment for the killing of AL G.
Boyce Jr., a week ago yesterday.
Beach Epting admits that he
is the mysterious Pete" who
was described as having occu-
pied the room at No. LOT East
Eighth street and also the
cottage at No. S03 Polk street.
Epting states that he rented the
cottage from o. K. Gilvin and
has been fully identified by the
latter as the man who did the
renting of the place. He also
admits that he bought the scant
furniture and shade with which
the cottage was fitted.
Yesterday Epting was driven by
Sheriff Burwell to the residence
of T. l.. McKIbben on East
Sixth street, at which place a
room was rented by Sneed on
the Monday prior to the tragedy,
and the women of the place
were called in to view him Mrs.
A. Laroe, who rooms in the Nc /
Kibben home, looked closely at
the prisoner and exclaimed: /
That's the man.
Others who were brought 10 1
the jail TO view the prisoner /
were not so certain as to Ep- /
ting's identity. He was fully /
identified however, by j. |. Ken
irick as the man who purchased
the window shades from an en-
ploye of the Kendrick store.
Epting is a man of medium
stature, about FIVE feet. ten in
,hes in height. as has peculiarly
broad and STOPPING shoulders.
When addressed by a represent
alive of the News yesterday he
declined to talk, merely stating
hat his home was in Paducah.
While being subjected to scrut-
ny at the McKibben cottage he
ooked questingly at Sheriff
3urwell. and reiterated several
lines the remark: Il don't
this.
Epting was reconveyed TO ,
he county Jail, where he was
'laced ina cell separate and
part from that occupied by ,
need and the two men have not
'een permitted to converse.
Epting was a special deputy ,
