USES OF HONEY LOCUST.
Northwestern States to Grow This
Tree on Their Farms.

The honey locust is a NOSE beauu
full tree and one that might well be
grown to some extent upon most
farms. 1t belongs to the legume tam
lily or pod producers and has a beau
tiful compound leaf. 1t grows very
large and has sharp thorns ON both
the branches and trunk OF the tree,
says a writer in the Dakota Farmer
When closely set in the form OF
hedge, it makes a most formidable
barrier against any kind OF stock. The
Colorado station in recent bullc-
tin, recommends the honey locust as
the most drought resistant OF any
species Of decduous trees. When tins
is taken into consideration, it will be
seen that this tree deserves a much
larger use in the northwest. 1t does
not sucker as does its closely related
species, the black or yellow locust,
and is not nearly as subject to the
attack of the locust borer The writer
has in mind specimen OF the honey
locust in Jerauld county. South Da'
kota, which is one of the handsomest
trees he has ever seen in the Dakotas,
1t is about twenty-five feet high, very
spreading, and has proven a rapid
grower. Northwestern nurserymen
highly recommend the tree and offer
seedlings and young trees at low
prices and the Dakota Farmer would
urge larger trial of this beautiful
tree in its territory

Keep a Record.

\ flock of hens should be made To
pay good divdined on the invest
ment. If they do not do this there
is something radically wrong some
where along the line.
If you have kept record OF the
cost of production and the sales you
will be able to tell whether or not
your hens are paying. Hens that are
LAYING an average of so or 90 per cent
are doing well and will make good
showing on the right side of the cash
book. Any average above that will
be so much more gain and will more
than Justify keeping the birds.
Ii they fall way below this mark
YOU better investigate and lind out
the cause OF the trouble 1t may be
that YOU have a poor strain of birds,
that YOU are not feeding the right
kinds of foods or in sufficient guam
titles, or that you are not giving them
the proper attention that they rust
have in order to be great producers,

HOW TO SAVE MOISTURE.
Much Can be Gleaed From Farmers
Who Dry-Farm.

There is much that can be learned
from the methods of the dry land
farmers who raise profitable grain
crops in regions with less than lS
inches OF rainfall. If the practice
which they follow to conserve the
moisture for crops were followed
more closely by farmers everywhere
bigger and better crops could be
grown
The land is plowed deep to get I
good bed of mellow soil which will
hold the moisture. 1t is then packed
to make it firm, which holds the
moisture. and the surface is narrowed
within few hours to let the air into
the top soil which prevents the mois-
ture from below going up into the air.
The thoroughness with which these
operations are done determine largely
the size of the crop. On most farms
east of the semi-arid region the rol
Ter may take the place of the sub
surface packer if it is used with dis
erection.
The roller is particularly valuable
to use after blowing in late summer
and early fall when the ground is
dry. 1t should be well weighted and
follow the pillow closely. But used
when the ground is wet it will do
more harm than good.
Go over the ground after the roller
the same half day with Acme o.
smoothing harrow and harrow again
after each rain before the seed is
sown. II the ground is powed eight
to ten inches deep and well pulverized
the moisture will work up from the
subsoil, but the surface mulch will
keep it from cooperating and fine
moist seedbed will result
Soil moisture moves quickly up and
down but slowly sideways. 1t quickly
evaporates il there is nothing on top
To prevent it, If the surface is stir
red frequently it breaks up the my
riads OF tubes through which the
moisture rises from below and goes
off into the air
The dry land farmers find that it
pays them to harrow their grain in
the spring, not only to destroy the
weeds. but to establish new soil
mulch. Other farmers would find
even greater profit in using the har-
row cultivator in their orchards and
cultivated crops after each rain all
through the season.

STRAWBERRIES MONTHLY.
Plant From Siberia Gives Hope to
Oregon Gardener.

\ strawberry plant imported from
Siberia last spring by Edward Dixon
Of Forest Grove. Oregon, bears fruit
every month in the year. the berries
being white in color when fully ripe,
says the New York World. The Der
ries are not so large as the Oregon
berry. The flavor resembles that OF a
pineapple
Blossoms and fruit are found on the
plant every week in the year. How
ever, the best season for bearing Is
from August until about the end of
the year.
The berries hang in clusters on a
long, slender stem. Each plant has
several stems on which the fruit
grows. The stems with leaves bear
no fruit.
Instead of propagating new plants
from runners, as is the case of native
strawberries. in this species the parent
plant is broken up, and the several
fruit bearing stems are separated and
planted Individually.

Genuine Maple Sugar.

There are few people outside the
maple sugar making districts, says a
writer in the Country Gentleman, who
really know what the genuine article
tastes like The superior flavor thus
spoken of is probably due in de
gree to the same causes that make
strawberries eaten off the vine and
cherries consumed on the tree so de.
lectable The writer quoted, however
puts some of the blame for the poor
flavor of commercial maple sugar on
the willy wholesale dealer and mixer

Studying Needs of One Breed.

1t is poor policy for beginner to
endeavor to keep several breeds oil
poultry. The probabilities are that he
will give them all like attention and
food when they need to be treated
according to their natural dispositions

The results are that he will favor q
certain breed because they do better

would have done just as well if they
had received the treatment which was
due them. Do not attempt too much
but select a breed and then variety
and stick to them.

METHODS OF IRRIGATION.
Underhow Irrigation is Quite Differ
ent From Subirrigation.

Subirrigation is the application OF
water under the surface by system
Of conduts 1t has received so much
thought and outlay and has returned
so little satisfaction that it must be
looked upon as horticultural ignis
fatus, and only passing reference
need be given to il. Various available
publications describe its different
satisfactory growth is secured with
less water by subirrigation than by
surface distribution. but it is done at
an outlay which is unwarranted either
by the cost Of water or by the value
OF the crop Results of greenhouse
experiments are more satisfactory
than those from open-air work. Even
from any arrangement from under
ground pipes, which seems doubtful
in view of wide experience. ii still re
mains true that for shallow-rooting
plants in open soils the water is APP
piled at too low level
1t also appears that the escape from
the surface cultivation is of doubt
ful advantage, contrary to the claims
that thorough surface stirring, which
is an indispensable accompaniment OF
surface irrigation. is worth all il
costs through the superior thrift
which it induces 1t seems a fair
conclusion from present knowledge
that subirrigation is practically un
attainable because of cost. inequality
OF distribution, etc. and possibly
would be undesirable even il those
prohibitions were removed
Underflow irrigation is quite diff
ferent from subirrigation. though the
former often goes in local parlance
as natural subirrigation. Underflow
is natural movement OF water
through the subsoil outward from
streams or downward from catchmenj
areas toward the country drainage.
Underflow irrigation consists in rein
forcing this flow, or in initiating II By
bringing water to follow the same
course of distribution

where the ground water is naturally
near the surface and irrigation water
is easily obtained in large quantities;
second. where an open soil through
which water spreads readily is found

or slightly pervious clay. which pre-
vents loss OF water by percolation. In
both of these conditions the method
of irrigation is the same, viz. to opeu

water for a considerable time. so tina;
il may soak away in large quantities
The addition will in the first case
raise the ground water so that it will
rise by capiIarity to the plant roots;
in the second case the irrigation wa
ter will spread through the free soil,
flowing along the surface of the hard
pan or clay, and will thus become
available to plant roots. These meth
DDS are most apt To be useful with
deep roofing trees and vegetables
but they are also used. where the
conditions are favorable, for grains
and garden crops.

Discard Mongrels.

Mongrel fowls should not be kept
for egg production because the eggs
will be uniform neither in color nor
size. This factor of itself is of enough
Importance to induce one to select a
pure breed, even though the mongrels
might possibly lay as we'll as the pure
bred fowls, but this is very doubtful.

Shelter for the Brooder.

If the brooder can be placed in a
small portable house, IT is good
plan. as the brooder is thus protected
from stormy cold winds in the early
spring; also from heat later on. The
house protects the chicks from rain
and serves as roosting coop alter
they become too arge to stay IN the
brooder.
