COLOR OF SOILS
TELLS CONDITION
Organic Matter When Present in
Quantities Makes Land Either
Black or Brown.
(By JAMES y. MARSHALL. Colorado

(By JAMES y. MARSHALL Colorado
Agriculture College.)
The color of soils Is governed large
ly by the amount and kind of iron
compounds and the percentages OF or
ganic matter which they contain.
Iron may give soils red, blue, yell
low or gray color, depending largely
upon texture, aeration aid moisture
content. Organic matter when pres
ent in quantities tends to make soils
either black or brown in color The
combination of colors formed by the
iron compounds and organic matter
give rise to great many intermediate
tints.
AS rule the dark color OF soils Is
closely associated with the presence
of organic matter, while light color
indicates it's absence. Dark colored
soils are usually quite productive,
while light colored ones are generally
unprodacfiye. Soils uneven In color
and somewhat notified indicate lack
OF aeration and drainage, and are no.

of the tunic amounts to a loose drap-

clever semblance of lacing up the
top of the sleeve with fine metallic
cord, and a border of rhinestone edg-

Few tunics are as. heavily embroi-

METHOD OF CLEANING

Floor and Walls Should Be
Brushed and CIeaned-Drop-
pings Are Valuable.

Lime wash made from stone lime is
the best purifier. Make the wash as
follows: Stone lump lime, ten
pounds boiling water, two gallons,
and carbolic acid, one ounce. Put
lime in bucket, pour on the boiling
water, cover with cloth and allow 1t
to stand for one hour. The mixture
must be well stirred to prevent
scorching.
If there is not enough water not all
the lime will be slaked well. On the
other hand, too much water retards
the shaking by lowering the heat. Add
enough boiling water to make the
wash just thick enough to spread
well. Mix one ounce of carboiic acid
in each bucket of wash. Carbolic
acid Is poisonous and must be handled

clean the floor; then apply the wash,
which should be put ON hot Take
time to get the wash into the cracks.
The roosts and nest boxes should
be brushed over with coal oil and
then given a thick coat Of the hot
wash. The floor should be well coat
ed with fresh air-slaked lime. II the
work is well done the lice will be
killed, the house disinfected and the
appearance much improved. Choose
bright day for this work.
Clean up the .droppings every morn
ing; put in barrels between layers OF
rich sifted earth, spread one or two
.handfuls of plaster over each layer
of manure; the plaster will prevent
loss of ammonia.
Keep the barrels Of manure under
cover outside of the house. The drop

Successive drouths in the dairy
section OF the Northwest have served
in limited way to show the special
value of alfalfa. There are several
reasons why this fodder ought to be
generally extensively used by North
ern farmers
Considered from any standpoint it
is a profitable hay crop. 1t can be de-
pended upon to net the producer fully
80 per cent more profit than either
timothy and red closer, whether dis
posed OF in the market or fed out to
live stock on the place.
AS there is a cutting of alfalfa about
the first of June in Northern states
the crop is of most Importance in
keeping UP milk contracts.
In the dry season the pastures give
out or at least run down seriously
during July while in August they may
be practically bare.
The early cuttings of alfalfa is rea-
sonably sure to be heavy crop.
Usually it is the best of the season.
The yield may be depended upon to
exceed that of any other fodder on an
equal acreage.
Then it is three weeks or month
earlier than timothy or red clover. 1t

The owner of the up-to-date sugar
camp takes care to have good sup
ply of wood ready and all his supplies
on hand for catching the flrst run OF

commands the highest price.
The old-fashioned trough is seldom
seen these days, costing too much in
the manufacture and the waste OF

much more sanitary as well as more
easily handled The cheapest grade

economical in the end to buy good

Syrup cans should never be washed

feeding is necessary
II it can be spared from the farm
and is sent to market good cash re-
turn is obtained and it is well to note
that it is one Of the first large items
of the crop season.
1t comes in considerably ahead Of
grain and the revenue may do away
with the necessity of borrowing money
for carrying on the heavy operations
of the farming season.
Usually the dairy farmer will prefer
to have the alfalfa crop consumed on
the place because it greatly increases
the flow of milk. The cash return is
thus likely to be larger than for mar
keting the hay and the midsummer
and fall cuttings are equally profitable
for winter feeding.
The crop will average three cuttings
each season in this latitude, although
it is commonly harvested Ave times In
Kansas, Oregon, Washington, and a
few other states.
In view of the difficulties which
Northern farmers have experienced Tn
keeping up their milk supply during
the summer months it Is worth while
to consider the special value of alfalfa
as dairy fodder

A COIFFURE which deserves more
"A than passing notice even by ex-
perts in matters of hair dressing, Is
pictured here 1t is, in fact, the
achievement of a specialist and its
beautiful lines and apparent simplicity
proclaim it as such.
Many women find themselves
crowned with fairly heavy growth
of hair which will not for some rea-
SOD grow long A couture like the
model shown here exactly fits such a
case.
Only portion of the hair is waved
for this style; that is, the hair which
frames the face, and it is not waved
excepting as it is near the face. The
hair on the crown is combed smooth
ly over it.
To accomplish this effect, which is
that of coronet about the face with
mass Of smooth long puffs at the
back, the hair is combed in small
pompadour before it is waved. AT
any rate this is the procedure which
the amateur will find to be the easiest
way. Professional hair dressers have
the knack of marching" the hair into
waves that will arrange themselves
evenly, before the pompadour is adj
justed.

Lister and the University

The Aberdeen World and it's EIo-
GUAM Echo owe Governor Lister an
apology. From the beginning of the
University squabble, the World has
insisted that the governor was play
ing a deep political game for the pur-
pose of making the state university
football of party politics The ac-
ton of the governor in filling the five
vacancies with three republicans and
two democrats should convince even
such hidebound newspapers as the
World and Washingtonian to the con
trary.
The conduct Of Governor Lister in
everything relating to the university
disproves the allegation of partyism
in its management. The board Of
regents were all active republican
partisans, yet he made no effort TO
place democrats in their place. Now
in appointing five new members to
fill the places made vacant by resig-
licans and two democrats, leaving the
board as now constituted with four
republicans and three democrats If
this may be construed as playing the
game of politics with the university
the construction carries with it the
fact that the governor requires the
services of political guardian.
The two obscure papers on Grays
Harbor enjoy the distinction of be
ing alone in the condemnation of the
governor in the university matter, and
it is reassuring to thead the follow
ing. leading editorial from the Sc
attic Post-Inteligencer of December
80. the same date the World published
a fake dispatch from Seattle, belittlins
Governor Lister for having demanded
the resignation Of the four members
ut appears from statement by Mr.
George II. Walker, whom this paper
holds in high esteem, and whose
resignation from the board of regents
of the University Of Washington II
sincerely regrets. that President Kane
for three years successfully parriet
all efforts of the board to retire him.
and having intimated that by continu
ed parrying he might hold on fol
three years more, the board had nc
option but to remove him.

This remarkable explanation in it's


This remarkable explanation in
itself furnishes ample justification
for the action of the governor in re-
organizing the board of regents.
"Certainly a board that could thus
be parted with for three years-a
board moved in August unanimously
to re-elecJ man president for year
and then, three months later, moved
anew, and in the middle of the school
year, to undue him and destroy his
usefulness certainly such hoard
could not be well intrusted with the
destinies OF the institution.
But why discuss it? The whole
laundering chapter is too unpleasant
for discussion. 1t is best quickly for
gotten. with all its deplOrable phases.
Having emphasized and made issue
of Dr. Kane's refusal to resign, surely
no member of the board is now GO
ing to hold out and stulify and make
himself ridiculous by emulation. That
is inconceivable.
The personnel of the five new
new regents-six really becomes the
proper number-should effec,ually
dispose of the charge that the gov
ernor seeks a board of dummies.
