deep, unrippled flow of the clear green
river.
can look back now, however, and
see that the river gained in depth
and serenity-in poise, SO to speak
as 1t neared this great crisis of its
course, which involved rocks and
chasms to shelter its evenness and to
tear Its smooth green color into a
million rainbows.
Our first view of the canyon itself
was married as an impression because
1t was taken In company with coach
load of fellow travellers. Inspiration
Point was the high far aerie from
which we took that first comprehen-
sive gaze up canyon and down, from
the man-made platform overhanging
Its bewildering dazzle and depth.
Inspiration Point" chartered one
inconsequent girl, as she leaned over
the railing to measure the spaces with
her eye. How long does 1t take to
get inspired?"
Nature Issues no guarantees for in
spfration for the mere asking, how
ever. At her booth inspirations are
sold, and the most vital inspiration
goes to him who has bid highest in
deep Quietness of mind and reverent
simplicity of spirit.
But nothing could mar the canyon as
fact And 1t was in our unhurried
separate studies of 1t that its magni-
ficence made its lasting imprint, not
to be outdone for splendor by oriental
visions Of seas of jasper and walls Of
garnet and sardonyx.
Golden Sea Of Air.
Looking up the gorge from Inspira.
ton Point, between the walls of rent
sulphur cliffs we could see the foam
ing descent of the great falls-nearly
400 feet of frothy white, viewed
through a dazzle of prismatic lights.
Down the gorge there were green
peaks covered with pines, and beyond
them one tall mountain wrapped In
deep violet mist. Below the wall. I'D
on the rim of which we were frailly
perched, tall needles OF rock thrust
up their points, colored like the gar
ments of Cleopatra, and upon one or
two of the pinnacles the ospreys had
found them nests where they might
lay their young. Even now the soar
ing birds foated near the nests, black
specks in golden sea of air far be-
meath US.
1t was from Artist Point, on the op-
posite side. that we were best able to
study the bewildering canyon color.
At varied hours of the day the eff
fects' were strengthened or softened.
but the bewilderment of the beauty
did not alter. Here the walls were
nearly 1000 feet high, and every foot
of the way dabbed with lengthwise
streaks of color-rose, terra Gotta. sui
phur. chrome, orange, burnt orange,
brown. green, gray-green, lavender.
The blendings were ineffably soft.
The atmosphere was like velvet. The
river was an emerald thread below. It
was a flashing knife which had cut
down through sheer mountain of
sulphur, leaving ragged places on the
sides where the rainbows of all the
gods had snagged and been drained
of their tints to warm the soil.
The falls were magnificent as they
dashed over the titanic rocks, clear
green and glittering in the sun, torn
into the finest foam of white. The
spray rose in clouds, swept by some
continuous air-current against the
north wall of the canyon. which was
covered with plush of emerald moss
wherever thus watered.

Although the final proof of any cow
and her right to remain a member of
a good dairy herd should depend upon
her performance at the milk pail, 1t
generally happens that the dairyman
must depend upon his own judgment
in selecting COWS for his herd provid-
ing he is going to buy them. A COW
whose good records are known is sell
dom for sale. Even if the buyer had
time to make a short test that would
not be sufficient to prove the true
value of the animal. Usually he must
depend upon. his experience and care
full study of the business.
Thousands of lairymen have owned
and handled cows nearly all their
lives and yet are poor judges of cows.
The reason for this is that the lnowl-
edge which they have gained from
their experience is superficial. They
have never compared their judgment
or experiences with actual records CT
tests. They have a vague conception
of the type of a good dairy cow but
it is based more upon their personal
opinion than upon evidence or fact.
Dairymen are coming to better real
iZation of the fact that milk producing
qualities in a COW are accompanied by
general conformation that is quite
characteristic. Dairymen who make
nice profit from the business famil-
iarize themselves with the general
characteristics of a good dairy COW
and make careful study of the rela-
ton they bear to economical milk pro-
duction.
In feeding a herd of cows il is adj
visable to keep in mind that each cow
should be fed according to her needs.
1t is a mistake to feed all of the cows
in the herd alike. 1t is well to keep IN
mind that a cow ought to receive
about third as much ground feed
as she gives pounds of milk in day.
This proportion ought to be varied,
however, according to the way each
cow responds. Then, too, the condi-
ton of the COW ought to be kept IN
mind. Sometimes warm mash fed

Short Talks on Dairying.

An agricultural community sooner
or later looks to the dairy cow to es-
tablish a permanent prosperity. That
community is wise which in its early
history begins building on the solid
rock of dairying.
A great deal of attention has been
given the past few years to the queS-
ton of the conservation of our natural
resources. This is perhaps the great
est question which can command the
attention of our people. No one dis
putes the fact that the methods fol-
lowed on a great many farms are not
conducive to the conservation of the
fertility of the land.
Every word spoken or written on
this great question of conservation
and every action taken to develop in
terest in it is a boost for the dairy
COW. Dairying is the most essential
branch of diversified farming when
the fertility of the soil is to he main
tanned. Coupled with intelligent rota-
ton of crops and proper cultivation of
the land, the productive value of the
soil may be increased instead of de-
creased.
The farmer is in position to do
more real good for the cause Of con-.
servation than any other individual
and his whole duty consists in simply
carrying on his work so that the land
which he tills will become more pro-
ductive from year to year. In doing
this he must make his dairying a
prominent feature of his diversified
farming operations.

interested in home gardens, the move
ment would be encouraged in the
schools, so Minneapolis had 10 school
gardens, covering over IL acres Of
land. Four of these were on school
property, three in parks, and the re-
mainder on private land. The gardens
were under the direction OF the de-
partment of hygiene and physical
training. This seemed an unusual de
partment in which to place them in
the school system, but it was owing
to disbursement OF moneys. They
were supervised, however, by the same
men who had charge of the vacant-lot
gardens. The board of education paid
one-half of the heard supervisors sal D..
airy and one-fourth of the four assist
ants salaries. The children worked
three hours week during school time.
This time was divided into two per-
iods, and the work was voluntary. The
plats were 8 by Is feet planted with
vegetables, the products belonging to
the children.

VaCant-LOt Gardening

gives the score of marking used by
the supervisor:
The Garden Club realized that much
was given its members the first sea-
son, and felt it was necessary In order
to give the work nomentum, but it
will not be necessary for it's continued
success. They propose next year only
to pillow the land. In the matter of
supervision, the people of a district
are to meet a supervisor az stated
times to witness a denomination from
him of the method Of planting model
garden. Prizes will not be given an
other year.
In the judgment Of the writer, the
movement has been an unqualified
success. A number of gardeners were
interviewed--men, women and chill
dren. The evident pride and pleasure
shown by them was suffcicn; proof
that more than passing interest had
been aroused. The lots were a fair
size-none less than az feet by 1913
feet The front of each lot was
planted with flowers, an added attrac-
tion to a vegetable garden. Owing to
the expert supervision given, the ear
marks of the amateur were not visible,
even in the gardens of those making
their first attempts. An unusual fea-
ture of the movement was that all
classes of people were members of the
Garden Club. SO often the work has
