FOLLY OF OVER IRRIGATION
Air and Temper ature Are as Import
and as Irrigation.

Last summer the writer OF this arti-
Gle was visiting farm and noted the
stunted yellow appearance OF a field
OF spring wheat. Il don't know why
the wheat should look so sickly.
have irrigated it three times already
this spring, said the farmer and right
there was the solution of the problem
says writer in the Utah Farmer
The delicate wheat plant needs
warmth and sunshine and air if it is
to thrive, but this thoughtless farmer
was just pouring on the cold noun
tain water until the wheat had nearly
given up the struggle for existence
and succumbed to the ignorance and
avarice of the owner He had an
abundance of water and thought that
he had better use it while there was
plenty. The field was already satur-
ated by the frequent and generous
storms, and adding more only tended
to keep the soil cold and the plants
stunted What the wheat field really
did need was a good narrowing to
break the crest and facilitate the en-
trance OF air and sunshine. With
such treatment the plants would have
become healthy and vigorous, the soil
would have retained its moisture, and
there would have been a much better
condition all around. Farmers must
learn the lesson sooner or later that
water in plant growth is no more i'm
portant than is air and temperature
If the soil is saturated with water
there is no room for soil air. and as
there is such an excess of water that
there is constant evaporation going on
the soil will be kept cold and growth
will be retarded. lrrigate less, cult
vate more. should be the motto OF
everv progressive farmer.

Feeding Hens for Eggs.

Any good, healthy pullets Will pro
duce eggs prohtaDly during the winter
months II they were natched early
enough regardless OF the exact feed
ing method used This fact is perfect
ly true to degree, and II we had to
choose between late Matching with
scientihc feeding and carly Matching
with unskilled, but plenteous feeding
we would choose the latter every time.
The hen Is not very particular
where she hnds her food, and she has
an omniverous appetite, but nature
makes her balance up her ration
pretty well, provided she has access
to the various elements needed.
AT the same time, the early-hatched
fowl will be benefited just as much by
scientific feeding as will the laely
Matched one, and the few simple rules
governing poultry feeding should be
thoroughly understood and followed
by every poultry keeper
By scientific feeding we mean the
nearest practical approach to the ex-
act requirements OF the fowls body
III producing eggs, tissue, heat and en-
ergy.
Ii hen needs a pound of protein or
HsI-IOTiIllnR lOOu ana needs only TOUR
pounds of fats and starches, we must
not feed all corn. because in this case
she will have to eat about twelve
pounds of starch to get her pound OF
protein. and the surplus eight
pounds of starch will be wasted, make
her too fat to lay or make her sick
The whole secret is to mix the food
in order to save that surplus of starch
and make the hen lay at her top
speed.
Here is what your flock must have
in order to do their very best for you
Grain-They should receive mixed
grain twice dav about one handful
to the fowl. each feed Cracked corn
wheat and clipped oats makes an ex-
cellent mixture. Barley may be used
in place of oats and kaffir corn is q
good grain in the southwest. Do not
feed whole corn to hens in mixture
as it is harder to digest and they neg
lect the rest of the mixture Feed
grain in deep straw during the winter
months.

his usual good health. That night
he was stricken with apoplexy at

was done within the power Of med
ical aid, he answered the final sum-
mons Tuesday morning at Z O'Clock.
Mr.. Koehn was an amiable gentle
man and always of a cheerful dis
position, and his death was received
with sadness by those who knew him
The funeral services will be held at

You will notice the fine tone of
command about this letter.
You also will notice, and it is to be
hoped that the federal authorities
likewise will notice, the fine air of
conspiracy about it.
Not the least iniquitous thing about
this order is the clause making every
member of the association a spy on
every other member.
AS has been said, however, the or
der is not working very well. And
no less a person that E. M. Craig
realizes the same.
I'VE notified 497 employers" said
Craig gloomily, today" and only 215
have paid any attention. l don't
know what's the matter with the
others"
He stared g1oomily ahead of him
for moment, and then remembered
he had been talking to newspaper
men.
But don't publish that, you
know" he said hastily.
The reporters representing the
trust newspapers promised. lust as
hastily, that they would not.
Nov I'll tell you what to pub |

that we employers are not acting |
cruelty in this lockout. We wouldn't |
do anything like that.

"And do you know what these

Craig in an awed voice.
NO." chorussed the reporters.
"They-they called a strike on the
building" sobbed Craig.
"And they kept the strike up for

struggling with his sobs. "And the
