LEARN THE DUTY OF WATER
Proper Time to lrrlgate and Amount
Depends Largely on Local Con-
dtions of Each Farm.

No one can become a successful ir-
rigator until he learns the duty Of wa
ter and this cannot be best under
stood until one is familiar with the
principles of dry farming. AS TO the
control of water all that is necessary
is a strong active man, a pair OF wa
ter-proof boots, a good shovel and
good head of water and the laws of
gravity will do the rest. Successful
crops can only be secured by the prop
er amount OF and the continuous even
distribution of moisture and for this
reason time, money, crops and disap-
pointment can be saved by proper lev
cling OF the soil prior to planting.
Irrigation by cultivation is better
than irrigation by irrigation, because
the duty OF humus and water are cor
related. The proper time to irrigate
and how and the number Of irrigations
depends upon the local conditions OF
each farm and the crop raised. Some
soils will need frequent and copious
irrigation and some none at all.

essary. The crop is TO remain on the
soil for from two TO ten or more years,
and avoiding future expense of diff
cult iTrigating will pay many times
over.
1t is well TO level the ground care
fully and then try It by giving a food
irrigation before the seed is planted.
If there are holes or bumps which are
difficult to irrigate, go on again with
scraper. land grader or homemade
leveler Either irrigation or sufficient
length of time and attention given to
conservation of moisture should al
ways be practiced before planting al
falfa seed. writes B. c. Buffum in the
Denver Field and Farm. 1t is impor-
tant that there be enough moisture IN
| the soil to terminate the seed and
give the plants their first few weeks
OF growth until they are eight or ten
inches high before another irrigation
becomes necessary.
Where the seasons are short alfalfa
( should be sown as early in the spring
as the ground can be put in proper
condition and heavy freezing weather
is past. The young plants are not Sc
riously injured by few degrees OF
frost. At lower attitudes where the
season is longer alfalfa may be sown
any time up to the middle of August
AS far as northern Wyoming We have
succeeded in securing a good stand OF
alfalfa when it was planted as late as
the last of August In seeding for al
falfa hay use a drill with press wheel
attachments. Do not SOW broadcast
unless only an acre or so is planted
and a drill cannot be obtained.
Plant the seed shallow-from one
half inch to two inches deep. The
amount of seed to use will depend
upon circumstances. If the seed bee
is In perfect condition, moist, loose or

CULTURE OF ALFALFA
Careful Leveling and Smoothing
Of Land Necessary.
Either Irrigation or Sufficient Length
OF Time and Attention Given to
Conservation of Moisture
Should Be Practlccd.

Sowing alfalfa in the sod or on sod
land seldom results favorably. Alfal-
ia seed has become scarce and ex-
pensive and should never be wasted
or thrown away in poor seed bed.
New land should be cultivated in some
other crop at least one year before it
is seeded to alfalfa The seed bed
should be moist and well packed. On
this account it is advisable to pillow in
the fall. Where irrigation is practiced
too much care cannot be given. The
careful leveling and smoothing of land
which is to be seeded TO alfalfa is nee

Who Court. Death Deserves It.

Rochester ion-Advertiser: Prep
Arations are in progress for the great
mile automobile speed contest at
Indianapolis. 1t is said that greatly
increased speed is anticipated for this
years race. Three miles a minute Is
very fair speed. 1t hasNnever yet been
attained in a rate, but it. probably will
be. And If three miles, why not four,
or even five. Such high speed racing
as this of course means death to some
of those who have part in it. but those
who court death should get what they
are looking for. The principal objec.
ton to these races is that they en-
danger the lives of others than those
who take part in them. Innocent spec
tators are often killed. They ought to
be so managed that only the drivers
Of the racing machines could lose their
lives.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

''Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would. not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. I would scratch those places
until they would bleed. before could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over. and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and would have to 60 through the
scratching ordeal again.
/! Our physician pronounced 1t "dry
eczema" used an ointment which
the doctor gave me. but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, felt anxious
to try to head it of. I got the Cuti-
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be Just what needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin Of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago. until now. I have never felt
any Of its pest, and I am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. I always use the
.Cuticura Soap for toilet, and hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment .
