worlds like our earth visible by reflected

last local world in our modest solar sys-
tenn; turn around look back this way;
then you must have large telescope TO
see the earth. only the sun of all bodies
in our solar system is visible from space

On many farms the straw is not only
not made use Of, but the farmer con-
siders il a nuisance. So the straw
stacks are burned. On the exclusive
grain farm. to use the straw is a very
difficult problem. Some te&ts that have
been going on indicate that it might be
spread over the grain fields as light
coating-over the fall wheat in the aut-
umn TO help hold the snow and to hold
the soil in a windy district.
The best method of utilizing the
straw, however, is TO increase the live
stock until all the products Of the farm
including the straw, are used up in
caring for the animals. Such a farm
will wear longer, win work easier and
maintain a maximum yield for a much
longer time.
The subjects of dairy stock and dairy
farming are now receiving much atten-
tion throughout the country, particu-
larly in newer sections where dairy
ing has not ben followed and where
dairy stock is scarce. On many of the
irrigation projects special effort is be-
ing made by individual farmers and by
groups and associations of farmers to
obtain dairy stock.
In many cases the settlers are short
of funds and cannot without assistance
obtain the cows considered necessary
for the profitable working of their
farms. In these cases business men and
banks have come forward and advanced
the funds, securing the return of the
loan with interest by mortgages.
Dairy cows of merit are obtained
only at high premium. The purchaser
Of dairy cows must bear in mind that
matured COW Of proven merit is not
for sale in any place in the United
States for the average price which the
settler in the new country can afford

Don H. Bark of Boise, in charge Of
Investigations by the Department Of
Agriculture relating to the duty of
water has written q statement which
shows that rotation of crops and soil
fertility has a great influence on fixing
the amount OF water needed for proper
crop production.
1T has been long known says Bark,
"that a much greater yield of grain
OF potatoes and other crops could be
made on fertile ground such as alfalfa
sod than could be made upon raw arid
soils that nave never been fertilized
in any way. Little has been known,
however, as to the irrigation require
ments of the increased yield on the
fertile soils.
"The duty of the water investiga-
tion which has been carried on through
out Idaho during the last four years by
the United States irrigation investiga-
tion department in cooperation with
the State Land Board has thrown much
new light ON this subject"
Blue stem wheat on new soil that
had never previously been cropped or
fertilized. produced two thousand
pounds of grain to the acre with an ap-
plication of IL acre-feet at the Good
ing experiment station during the 1910
season, while the same wheat on the
same ground during the season Of 1911
produced but 1928 pounds Of wheat to
the acre with an application of Is
acre-feet per acre showing a considera-
bly, less efficiency from the water be-
cause OF the decreased fertility of the
soil. An experiment with Big Four Oats
showed similar results.

NUISANCE ON FARM
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Farmers
and pig growers do not always appreci-
ate the value OF green foods and succu-
lent pastures for their animals. Too
often the hog is considered scavan-
ger and his ability to utilize waste is
regarded as his chief value. However
well the pig serves this purpose. it will
pay for good care, food and housing.
Forage crops are especially beneficial
TO young animals. lt is possible to
grow them more protitably and success
FULLY when a good green field of palata-
bic and nutritious pasturage is pro-
vided.
Experiments and practical farmers
experiences prove that gains in weight
are made at less cost ON forage than
on the dry lot Breed sows can be car
ried through the season on pasture at
less cost than when grain fields are
entirely depended upon. FOraging in-
duces the animal to exercise and obtain
fresh air and makes hogs cleaner and
more wholesome. The exercise and air
prevent the contraction of disease.
When the animals so reared are put
in the fattening pens their gains are
unusually rapid and profitable. The
green foods are OF much value lust to
keep the pigs digestive organs in good
condition and the appetite keen. The en-
tire hog herd can be run on forage crops
and VIII profit by this method of man
agement.
