A COUPLE OF FOOLS.

The biggest fool pair that the writer
has heard Of in long time he ran
across the other day. The man had a
small house and an acre Of ground
worth some $3.50 and was sparkling a
half baked girl. who said she would
marry him If he would buy an auto
mobile. He fell to this and snapped
his place for a machine and 500.
which won't last a great while in de-
fraying gasoline and repair bills This
man, though industrious. is but day
laborer, and just what he and this girl
of his will do next winter in rented
house II labor should be scarce 1t is
rather appalling to contemplate. And
yet we suppose they will be happy as
larks with this auto, and II they don't
worry about the future perhaps others
ought not to.

PRUNING YOUNG TREES.

A reader Of these notes who recently
set out some small trees asks for some
suggestions in regard to pruning them
so as to give best results. In gen
eral way it may be said that this early
pruning-that given during the first
four or five years of f trees life-is
by f. the most important. In the first
place. one should keep in mind that
the most important result of this prun-
ing is to give the tree the proper head
or frame on which its later growth
and strength and usefulness are to
depend. To give this it is we'll to trim
one-year-old trees straight Whips to
height of from eighteen to twenty
four inches. Personally the writer
trims both apple and pear trees at the
point where the knee strikes in pass
ing. A number of side branches will
grow from this stub, and the following
season these should be thinned to FIVE
of the strongest growing at nearly
equal distances from one another and
cut back at least half of their length
and to outside if the tree has an up
right habit and to inside buds if it has
a decidedly spreading habit. The di-
rections just given will apply to
branched two year-old trees that were
got from the nursery this spring and
to two-year-old trees set last year that
We're not pruned at all The aim in
all this pruning should be to give a
sturdy symmetrical frame and to have
| the union which the branches make
with the trunk as strong as possible;
hence no limbs should be left which in
later years will give crotch that is
likely to split down. During the grow
| ing season a good deal of needed prun-
ing may be done with the fingers, wa
ter sprouts and shoots growing where
they are not wanted while still tender.
Young trees should be kept well cult
vated and where they are set in the
yard or lawn one should spade about
them and give mulch Of strawy
manure to keep the soil from baking
in dry weather If small trees set
fruit it is usually best to pinch it off,
so that all strength may 60 to the de-
velopment of the tree.

Milking Capacity Of Sows.

The difference in the milking capaci-
ty Of different sows is as wide as In
cows. as would readily be recognized
II sows were in the habit Of being
MIXED az cows are. When the milk
Ing is done In an experimental way the
difference becomes manifest. Accord
ing to the Wisconsin experiment sta
don. the average milk yield from ma
ture sows ranges from Al pounds to
So pounds daily. but in experiments
made with four sows the highest yield
made in one day was 81 pounds. while
the lowest was IL pounds. These hg-
ures indicate how wide may be the
difference in the milk yield Of different
sows. The number Of pounds Of milk
given. however, does not afford q fair
idea of the work the SOW actually does,
for the milk is about twice as rich as
that Of the ordinary COW. In the ex-
periments REFER ed to the average com
position of nine samples Of sows' milk
was: Water, S0.35 per cent; fat, S.2A
per cent; solids not fat, 11.41 per cent

Early in the summer a small patch Of
oats furnished succulent feed until
the oats crop was ready to harvest
and by that time sorghum was ready
to fill in the gap between the oats
and sweet corn.
The late spring of 1912, with its cold
rains and clammy soil, was not condu-

my farm was cut short, and did not
have much sweet corn with which to
supplement my pasture during the dry
season. l had. however, a good sized
patch of mangels intended for winter
feeding. and | used these instead. 1t
seems strange that farmers. as a rule.
do not seem to realize the value Of
these roots as stock feed. For six or
seven years l have raised them for
hogs. poultry and cows. and each sea
son finds me wishing l had planted
more. The main objection to them Is
the amount Of work required In raising
the crop. but they are such heavy
yielders a small plot produces a large
amount Of rich feed.

A CONVINCING DEMONSTRATION.

That many an orchard IL nonproduc-
tive. or. at best, only spasmodically 30
through lack Of the fertilizing eie-
ments necessary to produce an apple
crop. has been very strikingly shown
In an experiment which has been car
ried on In southern Ohio under the di.
rection Of the State Agricultural col.
iege. Two rows of twelve trees each
are located on soil that up to the time
the experiment was begun had only
been mulched and had received the
same spraying, this before 1910. Prior
to this time the leaves had been small
and of sticky. unhealthy color. In the
spring Of the year mentioned there
were scattered beneath the trees of
one row five pounds each of nitrate of
soda and acid phosphate per tree, the
application being made over an area
trifie larger than that covered by the
spread of the branches Within a peri
cd of two weeks the results of the fer
tilizing were noticed in a healthier col
or of leaf on the fortified trees. This
continued through the season and was
accompanied by full setting of vigor-
GUS fruit buds for the following sea-
son.
The following spring the trees bios
somed full, the trees being given an
other application of fertilizer This
was also repeated in the spring of
1912. Both rows received the same
care as to mulching, pruning and
spraying. AS to results. in the fall of
1911 the twelve trees that received the
fertilizer yielded thirty barrels of
fruit. while the twelve that received
none produced but three barrels. In
1912 the fortified row produced TWEEN
ty barrels and the other row seven
barrels. Putting the results of the
two years together gives gain of
forty barrels on the twelve trees that
were fortified over the same number
of trees that received none The fer
tiizer cost $4.56, or little less than
~ cents per BARREL In view of such
a showing as this, the farmer who has
an orchard that is fast getting into or
is already in the 'star boarder" class
might well look into this question of
orchard fertilizers.

RATION FOR sHoTEs.

As nearly an ideal ration for grow
ing shotes as one could have is fur
nished in the fall by field Of corn In
which cowpeas were drilled between
the rows Just following the last cult
walton. Small tracts should be fenced
of and the hogs turned in and allowed
to hog down both corn and peas. Sheep
also may be turned in, in which event
they will eat the peas and browse the
lower leaves Of the corn. In case nei-
Their hogs nor sheep are turned in the
peas may be cut with mower and
made into hay after the corn crop has
been removed

Testing Seeds

Some time ago, P. P. Simmons
of the John Becker Company,
planted some wheat, which he de-
sired to test as to terminating
powers. He now has a fine stand
of the green sprouts, which
proves the kernels to be full of
life. This particular wheat,
known as Minnesota Spring
Wheat, was grown across the
mountains in Torrance county last
year, and a number of the far
mers in the vicinity of Belen have
secured seed for this season.
The testing of seeds of all kinds
is being practiced more and more
among progressive farmers to
show the per cent. of germina-
ton, and that which shows poor
vitality is discarded as unfit for
planting. A little trouble in this
way will often prevent a poor
stand later on in the season, and
it's consequences of re-seeding OF
the ground.

SALARY BILL
PASSED BY
LEGISLATURE
Valencia County will Pay
her Officers about $4,000
Dollars

The county officers salary bill
was passed by the House of Rep
resentatives on Monday of this
week after having been amended
in the senate and passed by that
body. The salaries provided are
quite liberal, especially in coun-
ties of the higher classes. Trea-
surers, Assessors and Clerks in
counties of the first class are
given the neat sums of four thou
sand dollars each. In the other
classes of counties, while not so
large, the salaries are in most
instances, sufficiently large to
cause the taxpayer to wonder
where he will get off.
In the classification of the
counties, Valencia county is rated
as a third class county, and the
salaries fixed as follows:
Belen news. (Belen, N.M.) 1912-1947, 1913-02-27

eight per cent. of all taxes and
licenses collected. Then should
the fund not be sufficient to cover
the salaries, the amount is to be
taken from the general county
fund.
Taking the maximum assessed
valuation of the third class coun-
ty as a basis, exclusive Of the
fees earned by the various Off
cials, a levy of eight mills would
be necessary to create a fund suf-
ficiently large to pay the county
salaries.
The bill is now before the gov
ernor for his approval, and the
outcome is being watched by the
common geezer, who foots the
bill in paying his taxes.
