For hours the trail was up and up
over level after level Of the amending
lava. Glimpses of the snow-crowned
peak led one to believe that 1t was not
far distant. Then perhaps after an.
other hour of climbing up from ono
level to another apparently the top
was farther away than ever. And the
long detour around the impossible
places grew wearisome in the ex-
treme
The party was under the guidance
of the Gaspars, who have in the past
so successfully piloted large and small
parties to the top.
Doctor Baker and Mr.. Bowdish both
feel that the chances run during an
ascent in the winter months amount
to great hazard because of the vast
miles of unbroken lava which a mist
or storm would render terra incognita
and the constant danger of falling into
holes or of breaking through the crust
contingencies which could not be
guarded against. AS 1t was, Mr.. Bow
dish's mule twice broke through, once
causing him to be thrown off.

CLEAN WATER IS NECESSARY
Artificial Pond Erected by Illinois
Farmer Proves Quite Adequate
for All Needs Of Farm.

Good clean water is an essential
necessary for the comfort and we'll
being of the dairy herd. Spring or
well water, If good, is possibly the
best, but when there is not sufficient
supply a good deep pond does not
come amiss.
We have an artificial pond which
supplies our needs in this direction,
which is ordinarily from twelve to
fourteen feet deep, cool and clean.
This pond was made by building a
dam across a hollow in the pasture
40 feet wide at the bottom and wide
enough at the top so a team could be
driven across, says an Illinois writer
in Farmers Review. A wall on the in
side of the dam was constructed Of
twoinch white oak boards to keep the
wash from breaking the dam. The
outlet is not over the dam, but on the
side.
To accomplish this task three teams
and four or five men were kept busy
for three weeks. After the dam had
settled it was built up to the neces-
sary height twice at different inter-
walls.
Here we row with skiff at
leisure, and have good old-fashioned
swim when we so desire. In the winter
we have place to skate, and most
excellent place to get an abundance Of
ice for the icehouse. Not only this,
but the neighborhood at threshing
time has the privilege OF securing all
the water they wish to use. When the
wells go dry there Is plenty there to
fill the demand. 1t took a lot of hard
labor and backache, but 1t has given
us IL years or more Of service.

pasture to better advantage than those
born in the spring; they are older and
more capable of protecting themselves
from flies. When cows freshen at this
season Of the year, and it is desired to
have them freshen the following year
at the same time, 1t is necessary to
carry them for three months before
breeding. This is the usual practice
among the best dairymen.
We would say that it would be bet
ter to begin breeding the animals the
first of January If it is desired to have
them freshen In the fall, for it is quite
possible that it will require more than
one breeding.-Hoard's Dairyman.

NITRATE OF SODA
AS A Fertilizer
Top Dressing on Old Meadow Is
Almost Certain to Show
Marked Results.

On an old meadow which has not
been properly fortified, top dress
ing of nitrate of soda is almost GER
tain to show very marked results. The
farmer is likely to be so enthusiastic
over the showing made that he at
once concludes that nitrogen is the
one factor needed to make his hay
crop profitable one Right here lies
the danger. While the first applica-
ton of nitrate of soda may show these
marked results, it is not by any means
safe to conclude that nitrogen is the
only element of fertility needed.
Repeated applications of nitrate of
soda may soon result in no apparent
benefit and even result in final con.
dition worse than the original condi-
ton. The first application of nitrate
OF soda shows such marked results be-
cause there is marked deficiency of
nitrogen in the soil; but there is suf-
ficient Of the other fertilizing ele-
ments, particularly phosphorus and
potassium, to balance the nitrogen
used.
The increased crop yields from the
use of nitrate Of soda make an in
creased drain upon the available phos-
phorus and potassium of the soil. No
effort being made to replace these ele-
ments thus removed the time very
soon comes when no response is re-
ceived from the application Of nitrate
OF soda because the phosphoric acid
and potash have been depleted, or,
in other words, are the limiting fac
tors.
AS rule, where nitrate of soda is
used as fertilizer 1t is safe princi-
pie to use In connection with 1t some
form of phosphorus and potassium,
having in mind permanent results
rather than a temporary increase due
to the nitrate of soda.

JUDGMENT IN BUYING cows
II Animal Has Characteristic Color
Markings for Her Breed She Is
Always Easily SalabIe.

When buying cows, don't buy any
thing that won't sell well again In
case you should want to do 80. The
best demand is for grade cows of the
leading breeds, and II COW of the
characteristic color markings for her
breed, she is easily salable. or course,
to sell COW on the strength of her
color alone is hardly fair to the buyer.
Get them with color combined with
production. The chances are, how
ever, that once you have a nice look
ing COW that is persistent mixer you
will not be tempted to part with her,
no matter how short of money you
may be.

FEEDING ALFALFA
TO FARM HORSES
Must Be Fed With Judgment and
Care-AnimaIs Are Quite
Apt to Eat Too Much.

Alfalfa is splendid horse feed, but
must be fed With judgment and care.
Because Of its palatability, mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa, II permitted to have free access
to 1t. The average farm horse at hard
work is allowed to eat much more al
falfa and other roughage than he

pels her to adopt her present attitude
regarding the shipping OF materials 20
! Germony. She wishes to restrict our
imports as much as possible. Both
our members and the English mem
beers of the commission nave recently
made proposals which may lead to a
satisfactory adjustment Of the ques-
ton OF restricting. our imports.
"There is no quarrel ABOUT the Elk
Eport to Germany of our own home
manufactures Or of the articles which
are not placed on the Swedish pro-
hibitory list although England may
think that the export is excessive.
But I may say without violating the
secrecy of the negotiations which are
still under way that the chief obstacle
is the question Of the exceptions which
we are bound to make to our prohibit
tory export list in the way OF. speciai
licenses granted to Germany. In order
to get supplies which are absolutely
necessary to- us, we must give In eX-
change to Germany some OF the ar.
ticles on olr forbidden list. It troubles
the English because we cannot: pro
duce statistics showing the exact
amount and character OF goods ship
ped to Germany under these cOnd:-
tons. The publication of such figures
would lend to obvious difficulties.
Moreover, we cannot guarantee, as
England would like to have us do, that
supplies will not under any conditions
be sent into Germany. Not only would
we suffer from not being able to get
what we need from Germany, but We,
would then be partisan to England.
CAS- to the assertion that OUR i'm.
ports have increased beyoilc our own
capacity for consumption since the t0e-
ginning of the war, this is not general
ly true. Our poor harvest and u in
ability to get grain from Russia ani
other supplies from Germany has, Of
course increased our exports from
other countries. But even if our ex-
ports have increased we GO not recog.
nize England's rights to interfere
with u commerce.
"Most of Sweden's exports to Ger
many are rot articles directly connect
| ed with military affairs. England can
not ask us to cut down our meat ex-
ports to Germany, for that is n CT
our chief industries. The kind Of cop
per and the thin hides which Sweden
sends to Germany are not available
for military purposes. Nor can there
be any criticism Of Jul timber and
wood pulp exports to Germany. All
these are the products Of home in
dustry, and most CT the things which
We send to Germany are for the civ
/ ~ilization rather than the soldier"

did this, not only would Sweden SUI

The asst consideration is the more i'm
iportant since Sweden would no long

IF she permits the transit OF sup

not consider this a real neutrality.
Her position, from which she will no;
'recede is an absolutely neutral att.

1T is logical therefore that we
should hold UP supplies destined for
