He went 10 a perfactly good tailor and

officers uniform. He bought the finest Of

But this was not sufficient. lie pinned

| Sixth. Can the secretary give US
any further information as to the prob
able date of opening the public lands
under this project?
The following resolution was passed
thanking Congressman Taylor for the
services rendered the committee on it's
recent visit to Washington:
Resolved, That the sincere thanks
of this board be extended to the Hon.
Edward T. Taylor, congressman from
and very efficient efforts in aiding
and assisting the delegation sent to
Washington in behalf of this associa-
ton Further, that the sincere thanks
of this body be extended to Senators
Shafroth and Thomas, Congressman
Hilliard and Keating, for their aid, as
sistance and cooperation with Con-
gresham Taylor and the said delega-
ton and by which service the work
of the delegation was furthered and
successfully accomplished.
A request was made to Project Man
ager Pyle for list of the employees
on the project, their wages and du-
ties; also If he furnish an outline Of
the recommendation he would make
the government for the future opera
tions or improvements of the project
Secretary Tobin was directed to pre-
pare and send a letter to all owners
of unsubscribed lands that they must
subscribe their land to the Uncom-
pahgre valley project on or before
August 1st, if they ever expect to Sc
cure the benefits from the project, as
this would be the last date upon which
they could ever subscribe for water.
A resolution was adopted to the ef-
feet that cit was the sense of the
board that positively no greater am
cunt shall be paid for water rights,
priorities or ditch interests in any
ditch that has been partly acquired by
the government heretofore than the
price originally established by the gov
ernment"
This was to forestall anyone hold
ing back their interests IN the hope
that they would be finally paid more
than the government has already paid
for other similar nterests.-Montrose

that much anyway. AS the dirt, pre-
viously wetted. is placed around the
fine roots, it is. very desirable that
the earth is firmed around the roots
by hand in order to assure of close
contact: then shovelful or two of
earth may be thrown in and firmed
into place. Considerable care in this
matter is well worth while.
The young tree has been pruned
back, removing from .wo-thirds to
three-fourths of the length of the
branches, or up to near strong bud
in order to balance the pruned or re-
duced root system. No bruised roots
should go into the ground; sharp
knife should be used to cut off bruised
roots. Finally, the roots should never
be exposed to the sun or air; they
should be covered with damp gunny-
sack.-W. j. Morrill,. State Forester.

Water Users
Meeting Held

The water users board held theii
regular monthly meeting Tuesday aft

resolutions were passed which will be
submitted to Secretary Lane:
First. Will the secretary of the in.
terror cause to be drafted and fur.
nished to us at an early date form
Of definite contract concerning said
tentative provisions and such other
SO that the definite contract may be
submitted to the water users associa-
ton for their consideration and ap-
proval and thus avoid the necessity of
two meetings of the stockholders Of
the association which would be diff
cult and expensive?
Second Will the secretary cause to
be furnished to us copies of the Salt
River lease and contract for the op-
Grafton of that project by the water
users, and also a copy of such other
similar contracts as may have been
executed, if any, by the department.

such contract that may be of assist
ance in considering said form of con-
tract before it is finally approved and

that the question of release of sub
scripion or adjustment of priorities
should be considered or taken up by
this board before the definite contract
10 approved by the stockholders and
signed by the secretary?
Fifth. Will the secretary inform us
with whom we should correspond in
reference tc this matter until the con-
tract has been finally adjusted and ap-
proved, that is, shall we correspond

HOUSE CLEANING IN THE
BARN VERY ESSENTIAL

Every housekeeper, who deserves
the name, has a general house clean
ing at least twice a year. The car
pets come up and the curtains down,
and everything from the roof to the
floor in the furnace room, is either
busted, scrubbed, vanished or paint
ed. With the farmers wife. spring
and fall housekeeping is looked upon
as a duty that is almost sacred and
is kept invioate.
But who ever heard of a farmer
having even an annual barn clean
ing? True the manure is hauled out
usually in the springtime, in order to
make it possible to get the horses in
and out the door, but that is all.
If farmers would make it regular
job to clean the premises once or
twice every year. infectious diseases
among farm animals could be con
trolled, and the morality of 6 to 10
per cent from calf scours, hog cholera,
blackleg, contagious abortion and
other diseases might be reduced to
the minimum.-Geo II. Glover. Cole

THE MILKING MACHINE
MUST BE KEPT CLEAN

The fact that cows are MIXED by
machine in a closed utensil is no as
surance whatever that the milk will
be cleaner or healthier. Experience
with milking machines has proven
that one canno be too scrupulous
about the sanitary condition of the
machine or COW. Often the bacterial
count has been higher in milk drawn
by machine mixer supply because the
operator failed to pay sufficient at
tention to the cleaning and proper
care of the machine.
Another source of contamination is
in the stripping. Stripping by hand
after the machine, is essential of the
best results are to be obtained, but
the udder of the COW should be thor
oughly washed. Many operators be
lieve this latter practice is not neces-
sary, since the greater part of the
milk is drawn by the machine. Such
milk management contaminates the
milk far more than the old method Of
care in cleanliness of the COW, and
the hand mixer. The modern milk
ing machine can prove an economical
blessing to our dairies, but an un-
sanitary curse unless the proper care
and management is applied with its
use.-T. e. Leiper. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins. Colorado.

POINTERS ON PROPERLY
PLANTING A SHADE TREE

The hole to receive the tree should
be deeper and broader than the root
system; in fact, it is well to make
the hole twice as deep and broad as
the roots. This will permit of throw
ing back into the hole several shovel
fuls of rich top earth finely worked
over. The spacious bredth will per
nit the roots to be spread out to full
extent and chance to grow laterally
for quite distance before striking
the harder surrounding walls.
The tree may be placed an inch or
two lower than it stood originally in
the nursery, as the dirt will settle
