In time of rains prepare for
drought" ought to be the motto or slO-
gan, or something, of every Kansas
farmer this fall, say the engineers at
the Kansas Agricultural College. The
engineers are preparing for pond
week" General specifications and
blue prints on the construction of farm
ponds are being sent out from the ag
ricultural college to scores of Kansas
farmers who have written to the state
engineer for advice.
THE plans we have sent out should
be considered only suggestive" said
H. B. Walker, drainage and irrigation
engineer who prepared the specifica-
lions and blue prints. 1T is impossi-
BILE to give specific information TO
every farmer, because we do not know
the conditions under which each pond
must be built. But we believe that if
the general directions given are fol-
lowed, and if the advice of the county
surveyor is sought, farmers ought to
be able to construct satisfactory stor-
age ponds without further help. The
law provides that county surveyors
| shall furnish plans and specifications
for this work at county expense
IF farmers find they are confronted
by particularly difficult engineering
problems, the agricultural college will

Thew Were cheap

An elderly lady from the country
one day decided to adopt two children
from the county orphan asylum.
She walked several miles before
reaching the car line. 1t was the first
time she had been on car. She
stared wide eyed at everything she
saw, then her gaze stopped on a sign;
she read thus:

Well" she said, that's the best

dam, nor should the center line of the
core wall be a greater distance from
the center line of the dam than one
half of the crown width of the dam.
Single clay-puddled core walls should
be at least three feet wide. All cure
lines should extend deep enough below
the base of the embankment to inter
cept all seepage The materials in
the embankment should be placed in
even, horizontal layers and out to the
full width of the slopes. Each layer
should not be deeper than ten inches
and should be carried full across the
horizontal plane of the dam before an
other layer is started. Each layer
should be carefully rolled and tamped,
and when the material is loose and
dry it should be thoroughly wetted
and rolled before succeeding layers
are placed. No stone weighing more
than five pounds should be permitted
to remain in the embankment, and all
sods, roots and vegetable matter
should be removed from the material
as it is placed in the embankment.
All earthen dams must be provided
with an adequate waste way or spill
way to discharge, without damage to
the structure, all the water which
arises above the flow line All spill
ways should be constructed in the
natural material and located at one
end of the embankment. In cOmpur-

Feed Concentrates With siIaqe.

Silage must not be considered a
concentrate. II belongs to the rough
age class and it is not a perfect feed
in itself Best results are obtained
when fed in connection with some
other materials. Alfalfa hay is an ex-
cellent supplement to silage, for both
beef and dairy cattle. For beef cattle
recent experiments show that cotton
seed meal at $50 per ton is more eco
nomical than alfalfa hay at $40 per
ton, as supplement for silage- For
dairy cattle. sIlage Is too low in pro-
tein for high production. Alfalfa hay
for additional roughage and a grain
ration consisting of a mixture of cot
ton seed meal, bran. corn chop and
oil meal makes an ideal supplement

Apply Manure While Fresh.

There is no great secret connected
with the practical handling Of ma
nure. The great losses caused by the
improper handling Of manure in this
country are the result of the viola
ton of plain natural laws Most of
this loss is easily preventable In
handling manure under average farm
conditions, the main thing is TO haul
1t to the land as soon as possible
after it is made, to eliminate all the
loss possible, and then to spread it
thin so it viii cover more land If
the proper methods of farm manage
ment are used, it viii be possible to
spread the manure on the fields for
most of the year.
