17TH'S OFFICERS
STAND RIDE TEST
General Evans Will Take
Ninety-MiIe Hike When
BaImy June Comes.

Riding tests for officers in the United
States army are being held during the
present season, and in consequence the
war department at Washington is re-
ceiving a number OF designations from
favored but fat leaders in numerous
regiments. II is no child play, riding 90
miles or hiking 80 miles in a day, and
that is the requirement Of the army
regulations instituted by the athletic
Roosevelt six years ago
General r. K Evans, commander Of
the Department of the Gulf. said that
he has not taken the test this year but
that he has until next June in which to
do it. AS he rides daily and is not in
clined to weight rather than ability, he
will have no trouble in accomplishing
the task. But not all officers are so
fortunate says General Evans.
1T weeded the incompetents and
physically unfit out of the army in a
great way when the test was put in
effect" he said. Many Of the higher
officers, who had grown so fat or soft
that they simply could not ride, simply
resigned. and every year designations
go in for the same reason.
1--WE known officers to start on the
ride and resign in the middle of It,.
waiting for an automobile or train to
take them back over the route just
passed on horseback They discover
that it is much better to be a whole
man living at the club on three quarter
pay than a physically tortured soldier
split by a horses back and shaken by
gaits strange to them on full pay"
Six officers returned to Fort McPher-
son yesterday after completing q ride
to Fort Oglethorpe and return. All
made It without trouble and none of
the officers of the Seventeenth has
failed as yet.

VALUE OF FLOWING IN FALL
Should Be Done In Order to Permit
Winter Precipitation to Enter Soils
Easily and Effectively.

1t Is generally conceded that in or
der to permit the winter precipitation
to enter the soils easily and effectively.
the soil should be plowed in the fall
and left In a rough state throughout
the winter. To prevent a loss of this
storage moisture. when the warm sun
shine Of spring and summer appears.
the fall plowed soil should be harrow
ed In early spring. and by means Of re-
peated harrowings a dry earth mulch
should bU kept on the surface. On
the overwhelming majority Of western
soils the only right time for plowing
10 in the fall. On an equally large
proportion of western soils the best
method Of preventing evaporation from
soils Is deep and thorough cultivation.
The soil OF the farm on which the
experiments reported In this bulletin
werc-conducted was titled in the best
possible manner. The top soil was
loose and permitted the ready en-
trance Of water. The field was usual.
ly plowed in the fall. During two sea-
sons only 1t was possible to secure
comparative data dealing with fall
versus spring plowing. While the diff.
ference In both seasons was small. in
both cases 1t was In favor OF the fall
plowed soil
Some workers In this field have
noted the small increase In the per-
centage Of soil moisture to, certain
depths resulting from fall plowing.
and have hastily concluded that fall
plowing has little value In conserving
the natural precipitation. In view Of
the law Of the approximate constancy
of the soil moisture in the spring such
views may be revised. Fall plowing
undoubtedly conserves the winter
precipitation-Utah Bulletin No. 104.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882. l became anlicted with
boils. which lasted for about two
form Of an eczema on my face. the
lower part Of my face being in1amed
most OF the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open. and
wherever the water would touch It
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open.
the place would scab over. and would
burn and itch SO a. to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con.
dition continued for four or i've years.
without getting any better. and in fact
got worse all the time. SO much 20
that my wife became alarmed lest Il
prove fatal.
During all this time Of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply.
sicians of this part of the country. but
to no avail. Finally decided to Try
Cuticura Remedies. which I did. TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until I was
we'll again. and have not had re-
currence Of the trouble since. which b
over twenty years. have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since. and have great faith IN
them as remedies for skin diseases" !"

NEED OF CONSERVING WATER
Necessity Of Storing Moisture In Soil
During Periods Of Wet Weather
to Use During Drouth.

Ihe Nebraska experiment station
Bulletin No. ia. on storing moisture
In the soil. is n report OF work done
at the experimental station located at
North Platte. 1t takes up the neces.
sity OF storing water In the soil dur
Ing periods of wet weather. to be used
during periods OF drouth.
The charts show that water Is con.
served In the soil through cultivation
and that It Is necessary to keep the
surface OF the soil loose and In a re-
ceptive condition to get the water into
the soil. Almost as much water IL got
into the soil during the early part Of
tho season where q cultivated crop 10
being grown az Is conserved by sum-
mer tillage. This Is due to the fact
that the surface soil Is kept loose
enough to hold the water that falls
until 1t can get down into the soil.
and the loose soil on the surface
prevents evaporation. It Is also due
to the fact that comparatively few
plants are being grown In a cultivated
held. and these do not draw very
heavily on the water supply during
tho early part OF their growth.
In small grain neld more plants
are grown. with the result that tho
water is used more rapidly and less
water Is got into the soil. In fields
growing alfalfa or bronze grass. where
tho number OF growing plants are
large and the surface of the soil 10
smooth and hard. It is seldom that
enough water gets into the soil to
moisten 1t below two or three feet
BY the method Of summer tilling prac-
ticed from 40 to 80 per cent of the
seasons rainfall has been stored for
the use Of the subsequent crop. On
this type of soil the water In tho up
per six feet Ia available for the crop.

A Good Turkey Ration.

While corn will put fat on turkeys.
a much finer quality of flesh is OBJ.
tained II they are given ration OF
ground oats. barley. buckwheat and
wheat middlings mixed into moist
hash and skim milk or buttermilk.
A half ounce Of tallow to each bird as
a substitute for corn gives excellent
results.
This ration should be fed from a
trough and should be supplemented
by a sncculent ration OF apples. beets
or turnips. Shells. grit. and fresh wa.
ter should be kept before the birds
constantly. II they are in good grow
ing condition to start with about

Crops for Sage Brush Land.

The choice Of crops for sage-brush
land will depend on soil. location and
altitude The grains almost always
do well. On the proper soils and In
adapted locations. potatoes thrive.
Garden stuff nearly always does well.
For the most part sage brush lands
are deficient in organic matter and
will not reach their best production
until after they have been in alfalfa
or other legumes. In the higher alti.
tudes field peas and alsike clover will
often be used as the rotation crop to
increase the productive capacity Of
the lands. Thus land which has been
in peas, clover or alfalfa will produce
larger crops than virgin soil.
