EVEN IRRIGATION OF SOILS
Light, Loamy or Sandy Soil Is Great
Problem for Farmer.

To evenly irrigate light, loamy or
sandy soil is a problem that most ir-
rigatlon farmers must contend with.
OF course. there are irrigated areas
where the soil is clay and not easily
cut away by the water, but generally
where irrigation is practiced large
part of the soil is of light character,
easily washed and cut away Thereby
are not only the plantroots exposed
to the sun, but they are deprived of a
roothold
To irrigate such land the most eco
nomical method is the use of the
bordered strips and checks. If pump
is relied upon to furnish the irriga-
ton water, this system is the cheap
est way to irrigate any kind of soil.
Erect ridges. usually by blowing, SO
as to border fiat strips of land, so ar
ranged that the water may be dis
charged into one end OF the strip and
so that it will flow fiat by the ridges
that border it.
The ridges should be from 80 to 50
feet apart, depending mainly upon the
amount of water and the slope OF the
land.
Some irrigators manage to throw up
their ridges at one blowing by back
furrowing, but, of course. this method
leaves a deep double furrow between
the ridges that makes leveling more
difficult. The quicker way in the long
run is to pillow the entire tract as
level as possible, and after dragging
il with a good drag pillow up the ridges
about three or four burrows wide.
When you get the strip as near level
as you think necessary, it is well on
new land to turn i'll the water, and if
there are any irregularities they will
show up and can be leveled later.
For grain such great care in leveling
is hardly necessary, but for alfalfa
time spent in leveling means time
saved in irrigation later.
OF course the soil next to the ridges
is likely to be soft and easily washed
out To prevent this small dikes two
or three feet long should be hood up.
extending from the ridge out into the
fiat This backs up the water and
helps spread it to the center OF the
fiat Some garden or orchard crops
are better irrigated by ditch irrigation
but the fiat culture, as has been here
described, offers less surface for evap-
Grafton and facilitates cultivation.

Scours, or Diarrhoea

The most frequent trouble in raising
calf on skimmilk is securing. The
reason OF this in nearly all cases 5 in
digestion, due to one or more of tn
following prevcntable causes: Too
much mix; sour milk when the cali
has been used To sweet: changing from
whole to skimmilk too suddenly: ir
regular hours of feeding, dirty feed
ing pals and dirty wet bedding. The
disease frequently begins with conSti-
patton, which soon gives way to diar
rhoea.
Should the calf begin to scour at
any time give it just about half its
usual ration for feed or two and
two tablespoonfuls of raw linseed oil
or castor oil. Some add twenty drops
OF laudanum. When the securing has
stopped. gradually increase the feed
Until the calf is getting its regular al
lowance.
There are several remedies for the
scours recommended by different au-
thorities. OF these the most popular
seem to be raw eggs, flour. limewater,
black tea and blood meal The latter
is highly recommended as a calf

Fertility of Eggs.

The disposition of the male bird has
considerable to do with the fertility
of the eggs. A male that is greedy and
quarrelsome is apt to drive hens away
from the feed and gulp down more
than is good for him, Such males be
come overiat and consequently slug

On the other hand, the too gallant
male will stand back while the hens
are helping themselves. His condition
is as bad as the greedy bird, for he is
underfed and has not the proper
strength to fertilize

POULTRY NOTES.

Feed dry feeds-no mashes.
For the first feed use plenty of dry
oatmeal.
Now is the best time to try your
breeding stock.
Cleanliness and ventilation are high
ly important factors in raising brooder
chicks.
Chills, wet food and lack of sun
shine are the main causes of bowel
trouble in chicks
Don't mark your poultry with paint
when a oe-punch is better and the
mark can't come off.
Where the dropping boards are
made of matchd lumber the job of
cleaning them is easier.
A small amount of animal food is
required by all poultry, especially dur
ing the time of egg production.
If a new poultry house is to be built
this summer see if there isn't sandy
spot handy on which to locate it.
Try to see hat the chicks are not
fed until at least AZ hours old then
give water first, feed afterwards.

PROTEST NOT IN VAIN.
State Farmers Win Their Fight
Against UtSn Hay.

The recent agittion started in this
and Humboldt counties, against the
importation of Utah hay, through the
fear of the Introduction of the alfalfa
weevil. ore OF the most destructive
nests Known to farmers, has not been
withcdt results 1t has demonstrated
on< thing to nicely, however, and
lhat is the absence of statute on
the States lawbooks to cover the stu
alton Whatever is accomplished in
the effort of the State officials to pre-
clude the importation of Utah hay
through railroad construction in this
State must come from moral force,
for there is no legal steps that can
be taken, according to Governor Cd
die. who has reviewed the situation
splendidly.
As result OF the Governors activi
ties, the Southern Pacific officials hav e
given promise that careful check
will be kept upon the matter and that
any attempt of the Utah Construction
Company, a concern having in hand
practically all of the projected rail
road work i'll the State. TO bring hay
into Nevada from its home State will
be thwarted, which is a reasonable
conclusion. for introduction OF the
Utah wcevil into Nevada would un-
doubleday result in wiping out the
alfalfa raising industry and would
directly affect the railroads traffic.

the most damage TO the crops, the fc-

year, and this is what is happening in
Utah. vhere il has proven positive
curse. Is is pointed out by the gov
ernment experts studying the ques-
ton, that there is not so much danger
in alfalfa seed importation as from
hay, for the reason that the wcevil is
larger than the seed and easily dis
tinguishcd from it. but in this con
ncction, they say that in order that
all danger should be eliminated not a
pound OF Utah seed shouh be used in
this State.-Churchill Coury Eagle.

Dehorning.

Where large number of cows rur
together it is probably the safest and
best plan to have them dehorned,
though it certainly detracts from their
appearance. The best time to dehorn
is in calfhood. Calves may be easily
dehorned when few days old. Clip
the hair where the rudimentary horns
appear and with a moistened stick OF
caustic potash rub the little buttons oil
horn until the skin becomes inhamed
and tender to the touch One applca
ton is usually sufficient. As caustic
potash burns, be careful not TO get il
on the hands or on the calls head.
