WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM.
The Subject of Subirrigation Will
Bear Investigation.

Subirrigation by means of tile will
bear investigation under the different
conditions encountered IL. the dr. land
districts The ideal condition for sub
irrigation is where hard-pan OF i'm
pervious stratum is fosnd underneath
eighteen to thirty-six inches of soil in
which capillary attraction is good, and
just to the extent that the conditions
approach the ideal is it success for
growing ANNALS The roots of peren
NAL crops will eventually clog the tile
in their search for moisture, A small
plot OF one-half acre, with tile laid at
different distances apart, viz, 10, Is.
20, Is and 30 feet apart. will after a
series OF years, determine the proper
spacing of subirrigation tile systems
for the soil The most practical meth
cd of subirrigation. says writer in
the Dakota Farmer is where bitches
were dug just as for laying tile, and
filled in with from three to six inches
of cinders with a piece OF tile set on
end in the ditch on the cinders, for
applying the water. after which the
soil was filled in over the cinders This
is inexpensive, compared with other
methods, if supply of cinders i
available.
The most desirable crops to grow
with limited water supply are those
grown in the vegetable and flower
gardens. lawns. shade and fruit trees
Where an ample water supply can be
developed such field crops as bring the

In the summer irrigated plots

SUCCESS WITH TURKEYS.
Hen Will Take Better Care of
Poults Than Any Human Can.

Choose the largest hens from
your own flock. keeping some of the
old quiet ones and one or two
young hens Get a young tom from
some neighbor that has healthy
flock Never keep two toms on the
same farm. The worst enemies tur
keys have are crows, rats, coyotes
and the cholera.
Barrels or boxes filed one third
with straw laid i'll the orchard and
partly covered with brush make the
best nests. Gather the eggs every
evening until Il hen wants to set
Then give her 10 to lS eggs in her
own nest and set all the other eggs
under chickens at the same time.
When Matched give all the turks to
the turkey hen.
When the next hen wants to set
give her some eggs il there is a full
setting. otherwise break her up by
upsetting the box or barrel contain
ing her nest If not allowed to set
a turkey hen will lay three settings
of eggs. Do not set any as late as
July as the turks will only be a
bother I'm cold weather When
Matched the hen may take them to
the alfalfa or wheat field and not
come back to her nest. If so, let her
go She will take better care Of
them than any human can. In
feeding give the hen corn to fill lp
on so she will not rob the turks of
their food. Give the turks hard
boiled eggs chopped fine once day
in the afternoon.
Nothing equals turkeys as grass
hopper and army worm destroyers.
A flock will eat many bushels OF in
sects in a season.
The Mammoth Bronze is the Ply
mouth Rock of the turkey world,
the Bourbon Reds, though smaller,
are favorites because of their do
mesticity and the White Holland
turkey is especially priced as a
market fowl for its pink white skin
Young hens usually weigh ten
pounds. old gobblers twenty six
pounds.

ed, indicates the amount of feathers
they will have when matured.
When the fowl acts dumpisk. has a
poor appetite, and seems generally
out of sorts it is best to pen it alone
for few days and give good physic
1t is advisable to place box of grit
or coarse sand where the turkeys can
find it, as not all farms have su!ii-
cient quantity for the purpose of good
digestion.
The poultry business has been spok-
en- of often as a get-rich-quick scheme
but the people who have succeeded
can testify that this has not always
been the truth.
The nests in the poultry house need
rot necessarily be expensive affairs
but they should be strong and sub
stantial and at the same time comfort
able for the layers when they go on
them.

PEST IN IRRIGATED COUNTRY.
The Wild Dat Should be Eradicated
from the Land.

One OF our most pernicious pests in
irrigated sections is the wild oat. O.
NJ. Osborne, of the Idaho Station of
fers a good suggestion when he says
that the only course to pursue to com
pletely eradicate the wild oat is to pro-
coed to bring every seed in the soil
into termination as rapidly as posi-
BILE and then destroy the seedlings as
soon as they appear
Hence, pillow the field shallow or
disk as soon as the grain crop is re
moved In about ten days, if the
weather has been warm and damp, use
the disk again, then harrow every few
days as the little seedlings appear
If the autumn is dry and the seeds do
not terminate readily it is well to roll
the soil to bring up the water from be
low Continue the process of harrow
ing as long as possible before the win
ter blowing. then pillow the usual depth
for winter. Get onto the land early

permit and harrow again to kill the
seedlings. Follow up with cult
waited crop such as beets, corn, pota
toes. beans or cabbage. In case the
land is too dry to pillow Immediately
after removing a grain crop turn cat
tie or sheep into the field in order to
eat down the seedlings Otherwise
many of the oats will go to seed be
fore winter sets in Summer fallow
ing as practiced in many sections IS
an excellent method of holding the
wild oat in check, particularly if cattle
are allowed in the field once in while
to nip off the plants missed by the
pillow or harrow and to eat off the
seedlings. Early winter rye or barley
is an excellent crop to raise if the
farmer does not wish to resort to a
cultivated crop. As rule this can
be cut before the wild oats ripen.

The Guanaco.

The ranch men of Texas are said to
be studying the guanaco as a ranch
animal. Guanacos are found in Central
Perue and thence south to Cape Horn.
They are about the weight of sheep,
but taller. They feed on bitter desert
heritage and can exist where the water
is salty They FURNISH meat and cloth
ing to the South Americans. Guanaco
rugs are worth from $l6 to SIS each,
where manufactured.

POULTRY NOTES.

All hens like to lay in dark nest
boxes.
Sour milk is an excellent feed for
chicks.
Lice increase very rapidly on the
sitting hen.
No matter where you live, poultry
can be made profitable.
The chicks should not be fed the
first day after Matching.
The incubator never changes its
mind. 1t stays on the job
Late hatched turkeys should never
be used for breeding purposes.
In brooder raising special attention
should be paid to the breeding stock.
A variety in feeding is one way of
keeping the flock in good condition
Cleanliness is the most important
factor in the successful raising OF
poultry.
Coal oil and carbolic acid are good
lice and mite killers, as well as disin-
iectants.
As rule, hens that desire to sit
are fat, though there are occasional
exceptions.
A little salt in the food for the hens
is an aid to digestion, and so keeps
them we'll an vigorous.
Lack of grit and overlooking will
cause idleness and stop the egg yield
as quickly as anything else.
1t is important in caring for sitting
hens to have the nests so arranged
that one can shut the hens in.
a plum young turkey. dressing from
8 to Is pounds, finds market at al
most any season of the year.
1t is best to salt the morning mash,
but not more than one ounce for 100
head of stock should be used
Don't be tempted to sell your best
birds unless you have some better
ones in view to take their places.
Ducks kept entirely on land, must
have deep drinking vessels. so they
can get their heads under water.
Nothing worse than damp brooder
floor to start chicks ills. Cover them
with little dry earth or old carpet
Some hens seem to know when it
is feeding time, 1t will pay YOU to
humor them and be prompt and regu
lar
Ashes scattered about the floor help
to keep il clean. help keep the air
pure and have some value as disin-
fectants.
The busy hen is the productive one
hence she should be so fed as to in
duce the greatest activity, if in con
linement
1t is best that the young turkeys be
come accustomed to their attendant
and to all persons and animals about
the place.
Ducks are practically immune from
cholera, roop and gapes Their ia
vorte diseases are spinal meningitis
and paralysis,
Board fors in poultry houses are
Objectionable for many reasons, and
should never be used where dirt floors
can be. provided.
Give the chicks as much range rs
possible, even il you have to limit
that of the old fowls. Exercise is :,
means of development
If it were not for lice. poultry rails
ing would be an easy matter. At the
same time il is not difficult 10 rid the
henhouses of the pests.
Any egg eaters in the flock? Make
the nests as dark as possible: that
will help. If that doesn't discourage
the culprit, sharpen the axe.

Have a Variety.

When the hogs begin to gnaw the
woodwork in the hoghouses you may
be sure they need something differ

they are getting variety enough.

ELks GATHER AT PORTLAND.

Portland, Ore, July S-Fifty thous-
and members of the Benevolent Pro-
tective Order of Elk, from practically
every state in the union, are here to
attend the big reunion of the order
which began today at the armory.
For the next eight days the Elks
will have possession of the city, with
headquarters at the Multonomah hotel.
Brother Elks from California have
sent four carloads of oranges and wine
here to be enjoyed by the visiting
delegates. The parade on next Thurs
day, will be one of the principal fea-
lures of the convention and the prizes
for competing branches of the order
are more substantial than ever

Perhaps the most important bust
ness will be the election of officers,
as there is always lively contest
over the grand exalted rulership. John
p. Sullivan, of New Orleans, who
holds the office at present is favored, by
his friends for another term and there
are several other candidates in the
field. The immediate officers of the
grand lodge party, with their families
consists of about ITS persons, includ-
ing officers, district deputies from
every state in the union, grand lodge

James Gray, preacher, were the same.
Gray would arouse the countrywide
to religious ectasy, and then as Gra-
ham he would steal horse and skip
the country
He just couldn't keep the Graham
in him down.
Gray would build a church in a
churchless place, and then as Graham
the shabby night prowler, would make
off with the old roam of one of his
flock.
A whole country would ride to the
court house square to hear Gray
preach, and few days alter the same
folks would be chasing him, as Ora
ham, the horse-thief, racing away on
Deacon's Smith mare.
Gray was caught three times and
sent to the penitentiary-as Graham.
And he never stole anything but
horses-this man Graham.
After each release from prison,
Gray went back to preaching, deter
mined to suppress Graham. And the
Graham part of him would just wait
and wait, until Rev. Graham had be-
come a regular hero in the commu-
nifty, when the housewives were max
ing their best pies for him and
mothers were washing their John
nies' faces, because the preacher was
about to make call, and then-why,
Graham would suddenly break loose
and drag the Rev. Mr.. Gray back to
horse stealing.
There is law in West Virginia
under which an habitual criminal
may be sent to the penitentiary for
life, so recently Graham was given a
life-term as an habitual thief.
Gray-Graham went before the Su-
preme Court of the United States and
asked that the sentence be annulled
on the ground that the law was un,
constitutional.
The supreme court has decided that
the law is constitutional, and there
fore the strange psychological part
nership of preacher and horsethiei
will have to stay in prison, unless
pardon intervenes.
