FARMERS COOPERATE TO IRRIGATE LAND

On the advice Of the state engineer
it was decided to build a concrete dam
twenty feet high and 100 feet wide
across the creek. The dam will have
gates in it and a bridge on top A
spillway at one end will take care of
flood waters. Such dam, Mr.. Gear
hart says, will back up water in the
creek for ten miles. On some farms
through which the stream passes it
will be an easy matter to use this back
water simply by cutting through the
banks of the stream which rises
above the surrounding land in many
places. Where the water is below the
neighboring fields, pumps will be used
to lift the water. A water wheel at
the dam will furnish power to do some
of this pumping.
The agricultural college engineers
are preparing to give much of their
time this fall in helping to construct
ponds, water supplies and irrigating
plants. Many calls are being received
now from all parts of the state asking
for help in this work. These applicas
tions will be cared for in the order
RECEIVED.

Five farmers near Great Bend are
entering into a cooperative scheme
whereby they will be able to irrigate
some $50 acres of their farms in dry
times, They propose to get water for
this purpose by damming Wet Walnut
creek, which flows through their land.
Frank p Wood, who is fathering the
project. expects to irrigate 300 acres;
W. S. Hill. 1876 acres Sam Dorfshaf-
fer, 100 acres; John Wood $50 acres,
and E. B. Kellam, 100 acres. w. s
Gearhart, state engineer at the agri-
cultural college, is preparing the
plans for the dam.
When Koopman brothers, in the
same neighborhood, harvested &c bush
els OF wheat TO the acre this season
from a thirty-acre field that had been
overflowed by small freshet from
Wet Walnut last May, and when other
wheat fields in the vicinity yielded
only two or three bushels to the acre,
farmers along this creek began to
think. II resulted in their determinat
tion to use some of the water from
Wet Walnut when their fields began
to get dry.

HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY WITH CHICKENS
PRACTICAL TALK BY A POULTRY EXPERT
Change the Present System Of Marketing, and Proper Care in
Breeding Would Greatly Improve the Situation in
Kansas-Eggs From PuIets
Make Weak Chicks.
GBy W. LppIncO PrOessor POuly Husbandry Cd

by w. A. Lippincott, Professor Of
TT HE QUESTION OF how to make
more money from chickens nat
urally divides itself into the
questions of how'to secure more profit
from the hens already on the farms
on the one hand, and how to make
more profit by improving our poultry
on the other. The first is largely a
marketing question, the second q
breeding question. shall take up the
question Of marketing first, because
it is the one which will bring in
creased profits most quickly, though
not necessarily most surely.
AS farmers are well aware, most OF
the eggs bought in Kansas, whether
by merchants or poultry dealers, are
purchased by the so-called case-count
system. According to this system, all
eggs offered by the producer are pur.
chased at given price, without re-
gard to their quality. Eggs that have
lain for week under corn-crib or In
straw stack, that are understood and
dirty, are purchased at the same price
as eggs that have been taken care OF
by the most approved methods, and
are of the very finest quality. Such
system OF buying is fundamentally
wrong, no matter what the product.
The only way that we can hope to i'm.
prove the quality OF Kansas eggs is to
give the farmer financial incentive to
produce and sell better goods. We
must touch his pocket nerve. The
only way that this can be accom-
plished is to pay the farmer who takes
pains to offer good goods better
price that his more shiftless neighbor.
In one town last year a man who
was paying lac for eggs, case-count,
changed to quality basis and began
paying l5hc for first class and 1870
for second class eggs. The result was
that inside of two weeks the average
quality of the eggs that he was buying
had increased perceptibly, and he was
paying nearly 15c as an average
price for eggs. The farmers were bet
ter satisfied because they got higher
price for their product. The dealer
was better satisfied because he was
getting better quality of eggs. They
cost him more money, but he was able
to demand better price for them.
Besides the need of better price
for the good product furnished us by
the Kansas hen, and of better meth
DDS of caring for that product, We
need to take steps to secure a better

tention from the farmer or the farmers
wife with reference to the stock that
is used for breeding purposes. On the
Eastern markets Kansas eggs, as a
whole. dc not rank as high as they
should. For instance, they do not
rank in size with the eggs of Michigan,
ohio or New York Kansas is natuT-
ally at somewhat Of disadvantage in
being a good way from the markets.
Her eggs will be found going by the
carload to New York and Boston, Chi
cago, and down into New Mexico;
west of Denver to Salt Lake City and
to many of the Pacific coast points.
In my judgment there is one COM
mon cause throughout the state that
is at the bottom of this question, OF
small eggs and small stock 1t is the
widespread practice Of breeding from
pullets. The pullet begins to lay when
she Is six to nine months old. This,
OF course, varies with the individual
and breed. Because she lays, how
ever, it does not follow that she has
cached maturity. Il is a matter O;
common knowledge that she has not
attained her full size, and further that
pullet Matched from a hen egg In the
than hen eggs.
A pullet lays small egg that
matches small chick, that fails to
reach the size attained by another
pullet Matched from a hen egg In the
course Of time, she comes into laying,
and produces an egg that is slightly
smaller than the one from which she
was hatched, which in turn produces
chick that is slightly smaller than she
was at birth, and so on, thus gradu
ally subtracting from the size # me
race. This means small stock AMI
small eggs. II was also found that IN
top OF this, on an average, the per-
centage of hen eggs that Matched, as
compared with pullet eggs, was 10
per cent greater and that while the
chicks Matched from hen eggs showed
a mortality of per cent, the chicks
Matched from pullet eggs show a NOR
tally of l41a per cent, or nearly three
times greater.
Beyond this, in breeding from pull
lets one does not give the great law
of ''the survival of the fittest' d
cnance to help him in the selection of
breeding stock.

slIos Make Feed Cheaper.

The silo is now as much a necessity
on every farm in the Central West as
barns and feed lots. Live stock must
be kept to maintain soil fertility and
furnish a market for crops grown ON
the farm. Silage enables the farmer
to feed his stock 80 to rs per cent
cheaper than in any other way and al
most doubles the live stock capacity
OF the farm. The entire forage crop is
saved and made valuable. Hence by
stopping waste of products and fur
nishing valuable food at the lowest
cost, a silo will pay for itself often
times in one year.
