IRRIGATION OF ORCHARDS.

Government Directions For Use of
Water In Fruit Tree Tracts.
Speaking Of the selection of lands for
orchards, farmers bulletin No. 404 OF
the federal department Of agriculture
says: '
Care and good Judgment should be
exercised in the selection Of an orchard
tract. If II turns out well the profits
are high, but if ii fails the losses are
heavy. 1t involves the setting aside of
good land. the use of irrigation water
and somewhat heavy expenses in pur-
chasing trees. setting them cut and
caring for them until they begin to
bear.
Permanent bitches at the head of
orchard tracts should be located by a
surveyor The proper grade depends
chiefly on the soil. If the soil is loose
and easily eroded slow velocity is
best On the other hand. the velocity
must be sufficiently rapid to prevent
the deposition of silt and the growth
of water plants. In ordinary soils Il
grade of two apd one-half inches to 4
hundred feet for ditch carrying two
cubic feet per second is not far out of
the way. The amount Of water to be
carried varies from one-half to two or
more cubic feet per second. A ditch
having bottom width of twenty-fOur
inches. depth of six inches and slop,
ing sides ought to carry one and one.
half cubic feet per second on grade
of half an inch to the rod or three

Such ditch may be built by first

If You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region Of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
so cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.

Nv Davis Exonerated.

Ay OSNAO
After being the most attrac-
tive target for Democratic ora
tors and newspapers for four
years, owing to his promotion to
the United States Marshalship by
Taft, ex. Fire Marshal Hy Davis
secured a hearing before Attor-
Iney-General Hogan on Friday.
The only matter legitimately at
issue was whether a court would
sustain the opinion Of Attorney
General Sheets, that Mr.. Davis
should charge board while in Co.
lumbus instead of at his home in
Cleveland where a larger amount
of fire marshal work was neces-
sary. Since Davis went out OF
Office Acknowledgement Denman
held no officer should charge for
board while at the capital. So
Hy paid in both cities, giving
Mr.. Hogan a check for $500. All
the charges of ex-Fire Marshal
Creamer against Davis are found
to be groundless by a Democratic
legal department of the state.
Mr.. Hogan addressed the fol-
lowing open letter to Mr.. Davis:
II had read the opinion before
and had it's contents, of course,
well in mind, but on re-readlng
the opinion find it holds with
out reservation in favor of the
right of an officer to his hotel
bills in Columbus and his travel
ing expenses from and to his
home.
I'm following this opinion you
are not to be criticised. Upon
the other hand. it is the duty of
a state official to conform to the
advice of the Attorney General.
I'm reference to the allowance
of commission and the over-char-
ging, the allowance of commits

bills by them, against your office,
the testimony furnished to me

disclosed by the senate investi-
eating committee is to the effect
that Mr.. Ball. a deputy in your
Office, was the offender. The
testimony affirmatiyely shows
that you had no knowledge of
this transaction.
InaSmuch as you have been
vehemently assailed on account

quest from you. either din ectly
