BEST COMBINATION ON FARM
oultry. Fruit and Bees Are Directly Benefited in Various Ways by
 Being Kept Together.

Of the many different lines of agri- cultural interests. poultry raising, fruit growing and bee keeping can be com bined to the best advantage. Poultry. fruit and bees are directly benefited by being kept together. Three essen tial crops, meat, fruit and honey. can be grown on the same ground at one time. each contributing to the success of the other in various ways.
 Fruit trees afford the shade and protection necessary for fowls and bees. They yield food in blossoms, insects and fallen fruits and in return are benefited by losing all that is so eagerly devoured by the industrious beneficiaries of their beauty. Fowls not only decrease the insect pests in the orchard. but they deposit rich nourishment unsurpassed in quality for soil. The majority of farmhouses and suburban residences have or chards or plots of ground that with very little preparation can be made into ideal poultry runs. Where begin ac.s arc planning a p;ot to sci out in fruit. future growth should be consid- cred. standard apple trees should be planted 9 or 40 feet apart each way, az the trees do not get large enough to bear under ten years. nor attain full growth under twenty years. Many de- sirable crops can be secured in the meantime by setting out two peach or plum trees or rows of pear and cherry trees between the apple trees. This leaves ample room for bush fruit or berries to be raised and cultivated. It is best to put early baby chicks in the young fresh-planted trees and bushes to prevent damage to tender roots from scratching. Baby chicks thrive best among bushes and vines.

 The most convenient method of reaching the valley today Is for the traveller to take the train which leaves Buenos Aires at 6:37 in the evening. arriving at Bahia Blanca at 9:25 the following morning. Leaving Bahia Blanca again at g: 5 on one os the tri- weekly trains he reaches Neuquen at 10:35 that night; there he passes the night in a hotel or inn, leaves at 5:20 in the morning and gets to the end Of the line on a mixed freight and pas senger train at either 10:30 or 12:45 noon, according to which Of the bi- weekly trains be happens to have taken.
 Crossing the Rio Colorado, rather shallow and rapid stream, the railroad follows the river for about 75 miles and then strikes southwesterly across the first narrow place to the Rio Negro, which it reaches at Choele Choel. From ChoeIe Choel the tray eler follows the valley of the Rio Negro, which is wider below that point and continues to narrow as one ap- brooches Neuquen.

 We are more particularly concerned with that part of the valley extending eastward one degree of longitude, or about sixty miles. from the juncture of the two rivers to the small station of Chichinales. The valley is narrow here, not more than ten miles from bluff to bluff, with the fertile, irrigable land north of the river about half that width at it's widest and narrowing down to almost nothing where the rivers meet The Rio Negro itself is a dark and silent. deep and rapid stream: a steamer is said to take only as many hours to make the down trip as it takes days to ascend the swift current

"HOMAS FALKNER, in his
 book, speaks of the Rio Negro
 as the largest river of Pata-
 gonia. It is not only the larg- est river of Patagonia but, next to the La Plata and its two large tributaries, which do not, however, belong to Ar gentina alone. the largest of the Ar genuine Republic. Roughly speaking, it drains a large triangular piece of territory lying between 36 and 42 de- grees of latitude south, with the base following the line of the watershed be- tween Chile and Argentina and the apex resting at the mouth of the river on the Atlantic coast just south of the fortieth parallel of latitude. Falk- ner gives quite list of names for this stream, of which the Indian name of Curu Leuvu has been retained to this day in the Spanish translation of Rio Negro.
 It is not to be wondered at that the Spaniards neglected the inhospitable coast of southern Argentina in those early days of conquest and settlement No one could be expected to settle down in an unattractive and desert country while there was an unlimited supply of more desirable lands closer at hand and to be had only for the asking or taking. It is only when the good land has become exhausted and when railroads and science make the

DEEP FLOWING IS IN FAVOR
Excellent Means Of Heading on In. furious Hessian FIy-Humus on
 Top of Soil 10 Lost.

One of the means of heading on the Hessian fly is deep blowing, but owing to the lack of horsenesh. but few farmers blow very deep. As . result. the land is simply skinned over and it will not hold moisture T-.e humus is left practically on top of the ground and is lost. Deep plow- ing preserves all this and loosens up the ground.
 Reports from the wheat belt indi- cate that farmers are going to com bat the Hessian fly by deep blowing. using farm tractors as motor power Tractors are cheaper than horses and much stronger. Whenever the field will permit. it is cheaper and better to use tractor.

HOW TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES
Trimming During Dormant Seasons Tends to Wood Produetion-Sum-
 mer Pruning is Exhaustins.

Heavy top pruning increases the woody growth of trees. It may invig- crate weak trees. It tends to lessen fruit production or even check it alto gether. It induces the production of water sprouts, which are practically parasites as far as the welfare of the tree is concerned.
 Prune weak trees relatively heavier than strong growing ones. Prune every year, removing small amounts of wood, rather than removing the same aggre- gate at longer intervals. Remove wa ter sprouts as fast as they appear.
 Root pruning lessens wood produc- ton and is sometimes practical in case of a tree which refuses to bear fruit. The scientific principle involved is that vegetable growth is checked and, as is the tendency in all growing things, fruit is produced as a mature
