BRYAN ADVISES CAUTION
IN MESSAGE TO JOHNSON
Makes Known Views Of President
Wilson Regarding Proposed Allen
Land Law Before Legislature.

Washington President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan, following the pre-
cedent OF previous administrations,
on Saturday made known their views
on the international character OF the
legislation now pending In California
by which Japanese would be prevent
ed from owning land in that state
In telegram to Governor Hiram
w. Johnson, made public both at Sac
ramento and Washington, Secretary
Bryan expressed the view of Presi-
dent Wilson that the California as
sembly bill might be construed as q
violation Of treaty obligations with
Japan, while the senate's measure as
drawn would not be Objectionable, II
alien land legislation Is to be enacted
at all. In this the federal govern
ment recognizes the sovereign right
of California to legislate according tc
her own judgment, but the message
counseled caution.
The telegram and other information
from official circles indicated clearl,
that the provisions in the assembly
! bill by which cliens ineligible to cit
izenship" wouiu be prohibited from
owning land We're regarded here as
distinct discrimination against Jap
anese, who at present are denied thu
right of naturalization.

Washington controversy has
arisen between the reclamation SER
vice and some of the prospective
water users under the Strawberry
valley project, which probably will
serve to delay the application OF
water to all OF the lands intended to
be irrigated by the project. A num-
Der of owners of private lands have
failed to accept the government agree
ments requiring that their lands be
subdivided, and until these agree
ments are accepted and contracts
signed, the government will not place
water in the canals from which these
lands would be irrigated.

TRY 1T OUT FIRST.

Frequently the writer has received
inquiries from city people in various
clerical or professional lines asking adj
vice as to the wisdom of buying a
piece of land and joining in the so
called back to the land movement"
While the writer is fully convinced
that this movement is decidedly in the
right direction, he believes that hun
d-eds are grievously disappointed with
the venture and have returned to their
former work wiser. sadder and also
poorer. For any who really have a de-
sire to get away from the dependent
and often cramped conditions Of city
work and life II Is an excellent idea to
try working the land intensively on a
lar work. If such a trial Of handling
the soil proves distasteful and irksome
II is fair to assume that the care of
acres of land would prove even more
irksOme. For those situated so they
can do so we know Of no better plan
than to hire out to a man who is
success in the particular line one
wishes to take up, whether it be fruit
culture, stock raising, dairying, poul-
try keeping or other lines. The salary
one will get while serving such an APP
premiership will not be large, but It
is by all means the cheapest and most
satisfactory way to get on to the
ropes" for i'm such hired position one
does not assume the risks involved in
ownership and management More
over, the experience to be got from one
who has succeeded in given line is
just as valuable rs that which one
gets when going IL on his own hook
and at the same time far less expen-
sive.

Training and Feeding Oxen.

Experience has demonstrated that
Devon oxen are to be preferred to
those OF other breeds, owing to the fact
that they are more active, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Oxen from the Hereford
and Sussex breeds have also proved
themselves very good workers. Grade
steers make very good oxen, but are a
little more refined than they would
be If they were not castrated. 1t is a
general practice to use yoke where a
team Is used, harness being feasible
only where single animals are to be
hitched. The training cannot be begun
too young, but as a rule they are bro
ken as yearlings and not put to heavy
work until two years old. They can be
trained by yoking two steers and hitch
Ing them to IA log or some such object
to be pulled around In an open lot. To
teach the steers gee and haw," It is
necessary I'm some instances to use
halter on one OF the animals for a short
time. AS a usual practice oxen are fed
on grain and hay varying in amount
according to their size and their work.

SHOULD DRAW THEM OUT.

With the season for the farm insti
tutes in full blast definite arrange
ments should be made by those having
these meetings in charge to see that
some wide awake man, who is a good
information extractor. is given the
specific job of getting valuable pointers
and data from that class Of farmers In
attendance who have the practice down
fine, but who are backward about vol
unteering to speak. Many Of these
would furnish suggestions well worth
while If they were approached in the
right way. In one of the liveliest in
stitutes the writer ever attended much
of this desired information was got
through having an important subject
handled as a debate. Men took sides
and spoke on the question who could
hardly have been induced to speak on
their own hook.

A THEORY VERIFIED.

In an article recently published by
G.. Il. Mitchell. who Is connected with
the work of the United states geolog-
zeal survey, is presented a discussion of
the much debated question as to wheth-
er forests conserve ground water sup,
ply and whether deforested areas re-
suit in greater nuctuation in stream
flow.
Careful field Investigations were con
Quoted In the portions of the southern
Appalachian and in the White noun
tain forest reserves. In the former area
the data gathered proved conclusively
the generally credited belief that the
deforestation of mountain areas and
the repeated burning of the forest
mulch had not only marked effect
upon stream flow, but upon the amount
Of silt carried down through tributaries
into navigable streams, which serves
to clog their channels. In the White
mountain region different geological
conditions were found to exist, which
served greatly to reduce erosion and
tended to render less apparent the
truth of the belief referred to. For
this reason careful hydrometric rec
ords were taken on two small and al
most exactly similar drainage basins
on the east branch of the Pemigewas-
set river. One of these, the Shoal pond
district, was forested, while the other
a tract in the Burnt Brook basin, was
deforested and had been burned over.
The data gathered by measuring pre-
cipitation of rain and snow and meas
uring stream flow showed conclusively
that the forested area held the snow
better and that during a period of sew
enteen days in April, when there were
three extended storms, the runoff in
this tract was but one-half what il
was in the denuded tract, where there
was n practical flood. The exact fig
ures for the Shoal pond were 60 inches
of water, representing snow that had
disappeared, and GAS inches of water
runoff. In the Burnt Brook area the
disappearance Of snow was equivalent
TO 1915 inches, while the runoff was
1887 inches. The field work done was
authorized under the Weeks act Great
ing the Appalachian and White noun
tain forest reserves, and because of the
findings the government may purchase
forest areas which are thus found to
affect stream flow.

WINTER PIG FEEDING.
An Illinois Farmers Views on Best
Method of Handling Swine.

| An Illinois Farmers Views on Best
Method of Handling Swine.
The pigs found about many farms
at this season of the year may be
found under almost all conditions.
writes an Illinois farmer In the Iowa
Homestead. Everything, with the ex-
ception of those intended to be re
tanned as breeding stock, should be
ready for the market by the time the
spring pigs arrive.
The more comfortable these young
shotes can be made the more easily
will they gain. An animal of this
kind should be fed all the food he can
consume, and anything short of this is
| Improbable. This simply means that
the pigs should be given all they can
eat and clean up readily twice Il day
1t Is best never to allow any feed to
be left In the trough from one feeding
time till the next, as it will simply be
waste and OF no benefit to the ami
mails
The question OF feed is one of great
moment. The available feed supply
with great many consists mostly of
ear corn. More or less Of the waste
from vegetable and fruit cellars can
find its way to the plgpens to good
advantage. Ear corn ground fine
makes excellent feed for pigs and
when mixed with an equal part OF
best quality OF wheat bran, scalded or
cooked II possible, and fed somewhat
thick will be found one OF the best
growing and flesh forming rations.
Oatmeal and barley may be added to
very good advantage and the quality
Of the pork benefited.
The pigs as found in the different
neighborhoods will vary very much in
quality, and 1t is a good plan to Gull
out and market the ripest ones as they
come on. This plan has the advantage
OF giving the owner some money to use,
and also this gradual placing of the
product on the market would avoid
any dull conditions that glut is most
sure to entail
Much OF the eur corn can be fed as IL
Is on the cob. have always considered
1t best to mix quantity of feed at
time and where possible dump in lot
Of skimmilk. This not only helps to
make a very palatable feed. but also a
very nutritious combination.
1t is well TO keep plentiful supply OF
charcoal, ashes and salt in the pens at
all times. a feature that is very neces-
sary is to keep the pigs in a healthy
condition, and these are of great bene-
fit In maintaining the animals in such
state.
The pigs should be given dry and
well ventilated quarters. which must
be kept clean. Contrary to common
belief, hogs have some habits which
raise them above other domestic ami
mails from the standpoint of cleanli-
ness. For example, hog will not sleep
in its own filth unless compelled to do
90. If part OF the floor of the pen is
raised and kept well bedded with
straw, while the rest is not, all excre-
ment will be left on the Embedded por-
ton of the floor and the bed itself will
always be clean. All feeding and
drinking places should be kept clean
and the water supply pure.

LIVE STOCK TALK.

Horses must be upheaded. have
spirit and finish and be fast walk
ers.
BE sure the box for salt i'm the
sheep quarters is kept filed.
Drop everything to help horse
or n COW that Is i'm trouble, no
matter whether II is your own or

Farming on business basis
eliminates small mules just as it
displaces small horses.
Beef cattle may be raised on
many farms, and there are good
reasons for raising them. Not
the least OF these Is that they
provide means Of building up
the farm In fertility.
There are profits in raising good
horses and mules as one of the
features OF farming. Get a few
good mares and let them bring
you a good income raising horses
and mules.
Those who have silos full OF
silage find winter feeding easy
and satisfactory to the live stock.

HE KNEW BETTER.

A pretty level headed farmer told the
writer the other day that he fell down
badly the past season in the matter OF
crop returns simply because he did not
take the time and pains to see to the
securing of supply of good seed corn
the year before. He had some house
repairs on at planting time and so
trusted to luck in the matter OF his
seed corn, which he did not test. The
result was poor stand Of corn on rich
land, small portion of which planted
to good seed produced at the rate Of
sixty bushels per acre. He saved a
good supply OF seed last fall, however,
and it is fair TO assume he will test It
carefully next spring. lie said he
knew better, but remarked. "a fellow
gets careless"
