WOODEN FUMES COSTLY.
Extremely Wasteful Of Water, Soon
Pulling Apart and Cracking.

Wooden fumes are still built in
some sections. Notwithstanding the
progress that is being made in irriga
ton development. The first cost of
these is high in most places, but no
matter how cheap may be the cost of
construction. it is generally the least
expense to put in the better systems
such as are in use. in Wyoming. A
wooden hume requires constant re-
pairs. Ii is extremely wasteful of wa

that it should be supported on a tres

The embankment is subject to injury
from burrowing gophers and both

theory is to obviate all this trouble
by putting in concrete conduits or
syphons conforming to the lay of the
land and having enough strength to

ORCHARD COVER CROPS.
Many Sides to Question Of Best WAY
to Supply Vegetable Supply.

The subject OF the best crop to use
for supplying vegetable matter to our
soils in young orchards is one that
has many sides. We think there is
no doubt that in most OF our orchards
particularly where the land has not
been in alfalfa. a cover crop of some
legume is very desirable. just what
cover crops shall be used and how
this shall be handled must depend
on the soil, age of trees and other
factors. For the young orchard we
believe that the best system is to grow
whichever leguminous crop can best
be grown in the district between the
trees during the latter part OF the
growing season.
Where the seed can be started and
crop grown successfully, red clover
is probably as good as anything.
though Canada peas, soy beans, vetch
crimson clover, ETC., are all good
where the conditions are right to pro-
duce plants of growth We think the
crop should be grown in the latter
part of the season because the trees
need all the plant food available dur
ing the early growing season Nor
mally, a young orchard tree should
begin growing in April or early May
a. 1t should make the larger part OF
the growth before the LIST OF July
Ii the seed Is sown III early spring
tor clover crop the young plants
soon begin to take this plant TODD and
are apt to materially cut down the
growth OF the trees. The taking up
OF plant food by outside plants is de
sirable the latter part OF the season,
for we always have a tendency where
cfean cultivation is given ana plenty
OF water to keep our trees growing
too long, and as a result they are apt
To go into the winter with immature
wood
In many cases we think that the
best practice is to SOW this cover
crop III drills, leaving an open space
from three to hve feet either side OF
the tree row. TIL cover crop is OF
twofold advantage 1t adds vegetable
hber to the soil. which makes the
soil more active and easier to irrigate,
and II lett on the ground in the win
ter protects the soil from the drying
and freezing and holds the snow and
leaves from drifting Many OF our
growers object to leaving the crop on
the ground in the winter, as they
think that fall blowing is necessary in
the orchard in order to have the
ground in condition TO irrigate. This
Is true to certain extent. but in few
cases. we believe. is there any real
difficulty in irrigating orchards that
are plowed in the spring. Ii the land
lacks slope. il simply means that the
irrigating furrow must be deeper and
the burrows need not be so close to,
gether, as of course. the fatter the
ground. the more water will be taken
up as the water advances across the
field.

A pregnant mare should always be
kept in box stall. 1t is afraid to lie

The community celebration Of Christ

and which has been suggested for

in with Fourth of July or Labor day,
but the sentiment OF Christmas is dIl-
ferent from that of any other holiday
in the calendar. Its spirit is embodied
in the words "Peace on earth, good

deeds and thoughts, time to show
our regard and affection for other
people quietly and unostentatiously It

Ericsson, the date Of his death and

Ills inventions were too numerous
to print here. For the most part they
were in two directions, first to i'm
prove the methods of defence in war
and, second, to discover some substi
tute for the steam engine or to dimin
ish the waste Of steam. His name is
most prominently associated with the
Civil war @ironclaa Monitor. When II
years old he designed a pump for
draining a mine. and worked hard
thereafter, twelve or fourteen hours
/ day, up to the day of his death, in
/ his S4th year. In 1929 he designed q
locomotive that ran a mile in fifty
six seconds, made the first use of the
centrifugal fan blower, first employed
a range finder for artillery, made the
first successful application of the
screw propeller to steamships, and
produced scores of inventions, many
unsuccessful. His last years were
spent in studying solar physics, one re
suit of which was the production of a
solar engine against the day the coal
mines are exhausted. Ericsson died
, in New York on March 5, 1883, which
was the anniversary of the battle be
tween the Monitor and the Merrimac

Reading the above literally it means

and Page are the only two Nermonters
in the Senate. If the writer meant to
convey the idea that Senator Dnling-

Loss Ten Millions.

Hot Springs, Ark.-Fire which
started in negro's cabin at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon was slowly
dying out at the foot of West Noun
tain, the southern extremity of Hot
Springs, at midnight after reducing
to a smouldering mass of ruins an
area more than a mile in length and
from seven to ten blocks wide in the
eastern section of the city. The
monetary loss is roughly estimated
at 10 million dollars.
In the path of the flames were
manufacturing houses, hotels, num-
Der of the more pretentious residences
and public buildings which are in
ashes.
1t is estimated that two thousand
persons are homeless. So far as can
be ascertained there were no fatalities
and the few persons hurt suffered
only minor injuries.
Among the buildings destroyed
we're: The city's light, water and
power plants; county courthouse; high
school building, Park hotel, Moody
hotel, Princess hotel, ST. Louis, Iron
Mountain & Southern Railroad sta
ton and shops and the Arkansas SAM
tarium.
Smaller buildings by the hundreds
were reduced to ashes.
