The Water Supply

Ordway has two water supplies.
One for general use is secured from
the irrigation supply while the water
for cooking and drinking is piped
from Olney Springs. in the west end
of the county. This latter supply was
secured only few months ago. This
water comes from the springs just
north of Olney and is the same as is
supplied for domestic use at Fowler.
1t is very clear pure water and
while there may not be supply suf-
ficient for all uses there is an abund-
ance for domestic use for Ordway
with a greatly increased population.
The springs from which this water
is secured have been known to exist
ever since there has been any in
habitants in this section of the coun-
try, and it was from these springs
that Olney Springs derived its name.
The water which Ordway had been
using for a number of year. was
good for portion of the year, and
during the winter months 1t is still
quite generally used for domestic
purposes. However in the summer II
is not of the standard Ordway de-
manded and consequently the Olney
Springs water was brought here.

Dairy Cow a Never Failing Producer

The dairy COW is the never failing

in wet or dry season.
Skim milk can be fed to the calves
which can be fattened on milo and
silage, while the hogs fed on skim
milk can be fed milo and kafir and
the laying hens can be fed skim milk
and clabber milks. The indirect rev.
enues from the cows together with
that produced by them directly makes
them the money making animal of
the dry farm. Those who have
made a study of this advocate at
least ten cows for an unirrigated
farm and more if they can be cared
for properly. 1t has been said. don:
think of dry farm without thinking
of cows"
There are about seven hundred
cows in the county at the present
time, but the most of them are kept
for the producing of milk and butter
sufficient merely for the use OF the
farmers themselves. Most house
wives who have cows make butter in
place of selling the butter fat and
market the excess and above what
the family uses. There is lots of this
butter sold in Sugar City and Ord
way and there are perhaps fifty pro-
ducers in the county who have their
own butter wrappers and cartons
printed with their own names on the
boxes. They have found this to be
profitable.
There are cream buying stations
in the county. however and that fea-
ture OF the industry is rapidly
growing one.
The dairy COW is beyond doubt the
greatest value consideration for any
farm. ~

TheFeeding Of Cattle

The feeding of beet pulp and alfalfa
to cattle, sheep and hogs has been
proved very profitable to farmers and
stock men in Crowley county. The
farmer is returned fifth OF his crop
OF beet pulp and can buy what he
needs over that amount at about 40
cents per ton. 1t has been shown
by actual test at experimental stations
that a ton Of beet pulp, after the
sugar has been extracted, is equival-
ent in fattening properties to three
bushels OF corn. At 40 cents per ton
it is therefore most reasonably
priced stock feed,( or the same as
buying corn at the rate OF IA cents
per bushel, and feeders all know that
corn cannot be bought for less than
four or five times that price.
The Beggs Livestock company has
lease on the feeding rights at the
refinery at Sugar City and feeds an
nually from $500 to 1000 head of
cattle. These cattle are SHIPPED to
Denver and Chicago and top the
markets as rule. This company has
fed several thousand sheep with
equally as good returns.
Hogs are raised in this county on
alfalfa and beet pulp and topped out
just prior to market time with little
corn. This sort of feeding has proved
a money-maker for hog raisers and
that industry is a growing one.

Oats A Great Producer in this County

Oats are not merely sown in Crow
ley county. They are sown, given
some irrigation water. and then
hauled to the elevators at the rate OF
about lis bushels per acre. The ac-

strong dairy type, either grade or

ton OF home grown dry land feeds

and has been done by some. One

At any rate it looked good to the
farmer that produced it for he had

was good for nothing else other than
oats it would be most attractive

Study and Care of Trees.

The State Department of Public In
struction, in conjunction with the Forest
Commission, has issued letter relative
to the observance of Arbor Day, Friday,
April 10.
1t recommends that the day be OBJ
served in way that shall emphasize
the special interests of each school and
its immediate connections. CITY schools
will naturally be most concerned with
shade trees and bird life. Country
schools, without ignoring either of these,
may care particularly about the preser-
walton of the forest.
Tree planting, though important, has
been somewhat overdone in connection
with Arbor Day observances. If there
, is room for more trees on the grounds of
any school, or in nearby parks, let the
occasion be used for planting with APP
propriate ceremonies, but it often will be
better to organize a squad of pupils to
cultivate and fertiliZe the ground about
trees already established, to provide and
maintain suitable guards, TO conduct a
campaign against insects, or in some
other way to awaken continuing in
terest on behalf of trees.
| In this state there is no dearth of
forests; in some places we still have too
much woodland. The exercises in coun-
try schools, therefore, may serve to give
emphasis to local needs and interests,
especially to the control of forest fires by
which so much property is lost. There
is a forest tirewarden in every part of the
state where there is danger of forest fires.
He may be asked to take part in the ex-
ercises and point out how the pupils can
| help in this work. They can do much

The fine condition of the electric light
ing system since it was rebuilt last sum-
mer was shown when not one of its wires
was broken and the lines were in con-
dition for service during the bad storm
last week.
Frank X. Benefits green house, on
Burlington street, was badly damaged
by the weight of the snow last week.
One section of it collapsed. killing several
hundred dollars worth of young flowers
which he was forcing for Easter. John
Clair also lost some stock in his green
houses, through the breaking of the
glass.
George F. Deacon, owner of a drug
store here, was badly injured on the
head and had narrow escape from
being killed by a skylight falling on
him while he was working about his
laboratory on Friday morning. A num-
Der of bottles containing medicine were
destroyed. The accident was caused by
snow sliding onto the roof of the labora-
tory.
BY the will of William Burns. who
died in Bordentown recently, all his
property was left to Harold b. Wells. in
trust for the benefit of MIR. Burns grand
children. Israel Jarrett, father of the
the benefciaries under the will, has filed
caveat against the probating of the
will, seeking to set the same aside and
assume the management of the estate
himself. The matter will be heard by
Judge William ID. Lippincott, the new
Burlington County judge, the first week
in April
The patrons of moving picture show
operated in the Masonic hall here on
Wednesday night became badly fright
ened. A slight blaze was discovered
near the operating room, which was
soon put out, but the blaze had been
seen, and a cry of fire had been started
by some of the audience, which was tax
en- up by persons outside, and the citvs
fire bells were rung, but the engines did
not put in an appearance, the fire had
been eXtinguished. In spite of the an
nouncement that there was no danger,
excitement existed to such an extent
that panic ensued. A child was slight
| ly injured and a woman tainted.
Detecting the odor of gas coming from
the bedroom of Mrs. julius Grass, who
conducts bakery at Bordentown with
her husband, a colored servant saved the
life OF Mrs. Grass on Friday. The maid
rushed into the room, opened the win
dow and turned off the Jet. DIR. James
Gilbert was summoned and Mrs. Grass
was revived. 1t is asserted that she add
mitted an attempt at suicide. No rea-
son was assigned for her act. Her hus-
band is said to be in Philadelphia Mrs.
Grass was able to give her attention to
her store later in the day. The woman
is the wife of the man who was before
Judge Homer, Thursday, for abusing his
wife. He promised to refrain from drink
ing for five years. The married life of
the couple has not been smooth for
long time.

WITH a loud flourish of trumpets
Governor Fielder took possession of his
office of chief executive of New JERSEY,
and proclaimed to his people that he
would use economy" for his watch
word A deficiency in the state treas
ury, caused by Democratic extravaganza,
faced him, and he was put to his wits
ends to devise some means whereby to
raise money for needed expenses and yet
escape the disagreeable task of imposing
a state tax. The ways and means have
not yet been announced. True there
was an abolishing of an Office in the
treasurer's department that will save
about $1,000 per year, but beyond that
nothing visible has appeared. A Com
mission of Economy and Efficiency was
appointed, the majority of which is
Democratic, and it reported several
measures proposing to combine many of
the Boards and Commissions now in
existence, thereby reducing the salary
list materially. This was greeted with
satisfaction by all except the members
of the different boards affected, and a
powerful lobby was formed to get the
measures defeated. And it seems to
have accomplished its purpose, for the
announcement is now made that substi-
tute measures are to be introduced
whereby Board of Control is to be
commissioned and which will have the
purchasing of all supplies for state in
situations and the various departments.
This board will consist of the State
House Commission, the Governor at its
head. all Democrats. Where this is to
relieve the situation is not plain If the
ideas of the Ecouomy Commission had
been followed out there would have been
a Looping off of about $l50,000 in salar-
les. Under the new plan nobody seems
TO know what will happen. 1t is rumored
that the governor is not unfriendly to
the new plan. 1t looks as if the Demo-
cratic party was seeking to strengthen
itself politically without regard to the
nublic interests. Governor Fielder as
sumed the leadership of his party and
he will be held responsible for the re-
suits of legislation that is more political
than it is economical.
