FOREST SERVICE NOTES..
. . = . . . . . . = . .

Several years ago at the close of the
field season a large pile of sawdust
near one of the mill settings caught
fire and burned steadily all winter be-
ing reduced to ashes by the advent of
spring. This interesting chance fur
nished one safe way of disposing of
sawdust piles and has been used some
since then with more or less success.
Ranger Robinson reports that the
sawdust pile at the Kitch and Trine
mill on Surface creek was set on IRE
last fall and at lease one-half of the
pile burned up before the mill was
shut down. He believes that if the
pile is not smothered by the snow it
will be entirely burned up by spring.
The question of the safe disposition
of sawdust is an important one, as in
a country where many mills are ope-
rating this is a prolifif source of
stream pollution and constant fire
menace.
The rangers report an average of SO
inches of snow in the high country of
Battlemnt national forest.
Under the ten per cent item, which
is provision of congress for the con-
with ten per cent of all national forest
receipts, there was built during the
forest service and individual co-opera-
past calendar year nine miles of road
within the Battlement national forest,
as follows: Three miles on the Gar
field county-Buzzard creek road were
constructed at cost of $2,250 to the
forest service and invidiual co-opera-
tors, leaving two miles more to be
built. On the Grand mesa road, con-
Meeting Delta with the Plateau valley,
six miles were built by the forest SER
vice in cooperation with Mesa and
Delta counties, at a total cost of $2,-
Alt, leaving four more miles to be
built the coming year.

Successful dairying depends largely
upon efficient COWS. keeping them
comfortably at all times by properly
supplying their wants. and treating
them kindly. In this particular the
Dutch cannot be excelled. Holland is

It well deserves the name.

cious use of silage will increase the
carrying capacity of the land, decrease
the cost of grains and usually increase
the selling value of the cattle, says
W. A. Cochel in the Farmers Mail and

CHANGING THE GARDEN SPOT
Tried Advantaeeously by One Farmer
Glover Roots Bring Fertilizins
Elements to Surface.
(By L NJ. BENNINGToN.)

One of our neighbors has tried this
plan advantageously: He sowed clover
on the spot because the garden soil
is subject to teaching.
The clover roots bring many ferti-
lizing elements to the surface, and as
the garden is also enriched by extra
manure the changing of the location
enriches an entirely different plot.
Another good thing is close cultiva-
ton, which is death to any weeds.
The practice of changing plots
should be followed every second year.

POLLUTION OF SPRING WATER
Contamination Often Caused by Seep-
age and From Surface Drainage
Good Cover Is Favored.

If the water supply on the farm is
obtained from a spring, every effort
should be made to guard the spring
from pollution of any kind. An open
spring may be contaminated from sur
face drainage and from seepage, and
also by the introduction of impurities
in dipping the water.
This trouble may be guarded against
by inclosing the spring in concrete

grand old game these days, and, next
to right hand wallpapers, that lad is in
most demand who can slip craftily
from base to base under the heaviest
guns of the enemy.
THAT passion for right-hand hit
tiers, by the way, is rather diff
cult to explain.
Time was-and not so long ago
when four fork-hand reapers were
considered about the correct number
to mix in the batting attack, to the
bafflement of perspirng northpaWs.
That fad accounted in a great meas
ure for the prestige of the left hand
slabman. retained and groomed to
sneak in and slip the everlasting
lfbosh to clubs carrying an Oyerplus
of left hand hitters. Jack Ptiester
earned his sobriquet of Giant Killer

tunity for holding golf tour

in California. If one of the good
courses on the Pacific Coast can be

become the battle-ground for one or
the greatest tournaments ever held IN
this country, and it matters little
whether the event be w. G. a.

are of our size, It is unfortunate in
some ways that we are country OF
