Surprise Party.
The Santa Fe Boy Scouts in full
uniform carrying birthday gifts, sur
prised a scout comrade Burrel
Spears at his home last Friday af-
ternoon. The boys had the time OF
their lives, and after an interesting
time spent enjoying various amuse-
ments the serious war problem was
freely discussed, (of course all live
scouts are more or less ~interested),
and one and all were ready then
and there to go forth to battle and
fight for his flag and county. The
atmosphere was beginning to assume
a blush tinge and the excitement
was growing more and more, until
Mrs. Spears appeared on the scene
and assured the boys that no danger
was apparent that day and served
delicious refreshments. The young
patriots returned home in a very
happy frame Of mind.
Charity Ball.
The most brilliant social event of
the week was the Charity Ball

bcrs of the Board of Trade, who
have won the reputation of being
ideal hostesses. Socially and fin
acia'ly the ball was a marked sue
cess.

1t is reported that all tie renewals
on the Denver and Rio Grande line
east OF Durango are being put in
of broad gauge ties except in those
stretches of the road where the new
survey leaves the road and follows
a new route. This is taken to in
dictate that this division is to be
standard gagged in a very short
time. The new survey over Cum
bres has been completed except a
few miles on the San Louis valley
side of the grade so that the COM
pany knows about what they can
do if they want to do it. Here

feet untfl the maximum grade n
reached at the outlet. 1t is essential
in the Mangum terrace. system to have
some sort Of wstercourse or ditch to
carry OF the water from the ends OF
the ridges.
Narrow base terraces Of both the
level and graded types have been tried
In various sections af the country, but
have been found for the most part to
be unsatisfactory. Such terraces often
break with slight Accommodations of
water, and at such times augment
rather than lessen erosion down the
hill-sides.
A terrace Is susceptible to failure un
til 1t has become thoroughly settled
To facilitate settling it is best not tc
cultivate terrace the first year, but
to SOW it to a cover CROP The best re.
suits are obtained where crop rows are
run parallel with the terraces.
Since the PRIMARY purpose Of ter.
racing is to hold the soil Of the farm in
place and thereby both maintain it,
fertility and render possible an in
crease Of fertility by proper farming
methods all of the benefits, such as
greater yields and land values, which
result from the preservation and In
creased fertility of the soil may be at
trfbuted directly to the practice Of ter
racing. In short, the terracing Of farm
lands saves the soils, the most substan-
tial and valuable asset OF the country.

Get the Boys Interested

A small patch Of berries in the gar
den may be the very means OF keeping
the boy on the farm. I have no doubt
that ! would have been in the city to-
day shut up In some Office or work
shop if it had not been for little ber-
~ patch. This being the first crop
ever cultivated for myself to have for
my own. And remember today how
proud was OF this little patch. re-
memhe. that the first money realized
from it was few hundred plants
taken up from between the rows and
sold to neighbors. We lived good
distance from town and never made
very much money from my berries
But they were a pleasure to me IN
working and growing them for myself.
and led me each year to increase my
little paintings until I was a grown up
man. About this time q large COM
mercial house, Of Boston, was looking
for man to take charge OF the grow
ing end Of large number of acres OF
Strawberries ] wa. recommended By
some of my neighbors as . man up-to-
date In berry growing. accepted the
position. having under contract as
much as 400 acres Of berries at one
time. After Ave years I resigned this
position and went into the growing Of
plants for sale on my own account.
Our present business now speaks for
itself-E. W. Townsend.

Good Whitewash Recipes

For inside work the following is
recommended: Stake me with
water and add sufficient skim-milk tc
cream. To each gallon add one ounce
of salt and two ounces Of brown sugar
dissolved in water. 1t is a good plan
to add quarter of a pound OF calcium
chloride to every thirty gallons of the
wash in order to increase its disinfect-
ing properties.
For gates and fences q good white
wash recipe is the following: Stake
twenty pounds of lime with boiling
water until it is Of the consistency OF
thin cream. Then stir in three pounds
Of alum.
The Government whitewash recipe,
which has given quite general satisfac-
ton, is more expensive than these
two, but gives better results. The re-
cipe follows: Stake a hah bushel of
lime with boiling water. keeping it
covered during the process. Strain it
and add a peck of salt dissolved in
warm water, three pounds Of ground
rice put in boiling water and boiled to
4 thin paste, one-half pound of pow
dered Spanish whiting one pound Of
clear glue dissolved in warm water.
Mix these wen together, and let the
mixture stand for several days. Keep
the wash thus made In kettle or a
portable heater. and when used put It
on as hot as possible with a paint
brush or whitewash brush.

TO swEE1EN AN ACID SOIL.

To sweeten an acid soil, suficient
mount of finely ground limestone or
slaked lime must be scattered evenly
over the plowed ground and worked
into the top soil Ground limestone
is usually the cheapest and most salts
factory in general, though 1t takes eff
feet more slowly than quick lime
slaked lime or hydrated lime. and a
larger quantity must be applied to get
the same results. The screenings from
an ordinary rock crusher can be used.
Coarser material has little iinmed late
effect in the soil, but II much larger
quantity of the coarse material Il used
II viii keep the soil sweet for a longer
time. Screenings can be obtained at
from twenty five cents TO one dollar a
ton. In some cases where hauling
from the railroad is expensive and
where limestone Is accessible small
grinders can be used to grind the lime
stone on the farm.

Value of Nuts as Food

There is nothing among an human
foods that furnishes better feeding
stuff-the materials that the system
needs for muscle, energy and activity
than the common things we call
nuts.
But some one says nuts are not
easy of digestion" have never
heard the vegetarian say this.
never heard a person who has made
an attempt to like nuts say this. It Is
the meat consumer,-thef fellow that
eats meat three times daily,-who
says that nuts do not agree with him.
! like nuts because they contain so
much protein. the part of food that
builds up muscle. the tissue that goes
to make good flesh and blood: good,
strong internal organs. Then. too,
nuts furnish materials that make
work easy and the fat that produces
energy.
When nuts are properly eaten Il Is
hardly likely that people will call
them hard of digestion. OF course, if
we eat a hearty meal OF meat, fish and
pastry. we will not be disposed to
think very highly of nuts as a finish
ing course. The stomach is then fun,
and l surmise few Of US chew our food
quite so perfectly toward the last Of
the meal. If indigestion follows. it is
hardly right to lay the blame to nuts

Shown TO BE the Most Fattening.
By Fred Schroeder.)
Experiments being conducted on
the Washington State college farm
with pea ration for pigs shows that
the hogs are fattening more quickly
than on other standard rations. Fifty
hogs are being used in the experiment
being conducted by Benton NJ. Bangs,
whose work in supervising the expert
ment Will entitle him to masters de-
gree in agriculture.
The animals are divided into four
lots, and are being fed as follows: Lot
/, barley so per cent, shorts 80 per
cent and oil meal 10 per cent. Lot 2,
peas so per cent, shorts 80 per cent,
tankage 10 per cent. Lot 3, peas, so
per cent, shorts 80 per cent. Oil meal
10 per cent. Lot 4, barley so per
cent. shorts 80 per cent, tankage 10
per cent.
Lot 2, handled. is showing the best
results. with lot 3 second both being
a major ration of cleanings or cracked
peas. The hogs are being weighed
every week, the experiment being
conducted over period Of eight
weeks, being now in the last week.

Treat when Calves Arc Young.

Young calves can be painlessiy de.

fore they are one week old Any one
can do it II they follow directions:
Procure from a druggist stick Of
caustic soda or caustic potash--it us,l-

and the size of lead pencil. Now chip
me hair off over the place where the
horn can be felt. After this is An

thoroughly dry with a towel. Take
The stick of caustic and wrap some pa
Fer around the end that Is to be held
in the hand. Now moisten the other

ternately, two or three times, allowing
time for 1t to dry between each appli-
cation. Don't get the stick too wet
and rub only where the horn is to ar
pear, because if it gets on the sur
rounding skin II will eat the flesh
away and cause pain. After the treat
ment protect the calves from rain, as
water on the head will cause the

at natural watercuuFsee or ut bitches
constructed along property lines. I'm
der such circumstances a portion OF
the water drains away. For the most
part however. the water falling on
each section Of the slope Is caught and
held by the next lower ridge, and
eventually soaks into the ground Such
surface soil as Is washed down against
the ridges can be worked gradually up
the slopes by proper methods Of plow-
ing.
Broad base levei-ridge terraces are
sometimes supplemented with tile
drainage systems. Such combined sys-
TENS constitute the ideal treatment o1
land subject to erosion. The tile usu-
ally is laid along natural guIleys OF
draws and provision made at each
ridge for admitting water. Lateral.
may be run behind each ridge; these
facilitate the removal of water.
Where the soil of stnping field is
relatively impervtous or where the
rainfall is particularly heavy. a modi-
ficatton of the broad base level-Eidge
Is used which has slope along the d.
rectfon Of the terrace. This type IL
known as the Mangum terrace. Under
this system the ridges slope gradu-
ally, and the excess water is carried
from the field along them at reduced
velocity. Slight erosion along the
ridges usually occurs with such ter
