 Beef Cattle.


 reduction of 1S,0OO in the supply last week from the previous week, was more than offset by a smaller de- mand from all sources and prices de- clined 25 to 50 cents on steers and 50 to 75 cents on cows. Some of the commission men believe prices last week were not justified by conditions and look for a quick reaction. In the meantime, two or three lots of strictly prime steers in Kansas City territory are worth around 19 cents, otherwise fed cattle are quotable at S11.50 to S17.00, grass steers S9.50 to $14.00, this last class including a large num- Der of good Colorado beef steers in the last week at $10.50 to $12.50. Low grade steers sell as canners, down to $6. 50. Cows declined on all grades and grass COWS now sell at S6. 50 to 1925 including Colorados, Panhandles New Mexicos and Arizonas. Canning COWS sell at $5. 40 to $6, calves strong today at $6.5O to $12.5O.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 The market declined 9 to 75 cents first half of last week, and large number of buyers were scared off ny peace talk, but new buyers arrived after Wednesday and the weew was closed up better, especially on good stockers. There was a fairly large number held over from last week but sales today are steady to strong feeders at s9 to $13.25, stockers $6.5C to $11.50.

UNITED STATES GET
NEW HOSPITALS FOR
10000 SOLDIERS

States, municipalities and private
concerns have given to the govern
ment free use of hospitals and other
institutions that will accommodate
more than 10000 sick and wounded
soldiers, and the war department has
leased other public and private build
ings that will add facilities for the care
of 5000 more.
To fit some of these buildings for
use as hospitals alterations costing
about $995,00O will have to be made.
These alterations will be undertaken
at once, so that most of the buildings
will be ready for occupancy by Janu-
airy /, 1919.
The st. Louis sanitarium, one of the
finest buildings of it's kind in the coun-
try, is among the institutions which
have been made available to the gov
eminent without charge. Only minor
alterations will be necessary to pro-
vide accommodations for 5000 soldier
patients. Other institutions which have
been offered free of rental to the gov
eminent for this purpose are the Ohio
hospital for the criminal insane at
Lima; the state school for the deaf,
Columbus; the state hospital at Nor
falk, Mass; model factory at Cleve-
land and completely appointed hos
pital built by Henry Ford in Detroit.

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county of
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from SO to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
its infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed.
No irrigation in this district. Good
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.

Inflammation
IRRIGATION OF AN ORCHARD
of Water in Furrows-Grade
Varies Widely.
From the United States Department of
Agriculture)

From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
In irrigating orchards by the furrow
method the length of the lateral ditch
es or burrows is governed by the size
OF the orchard and character of the
soil.
The rows OF citrus trees seldom ex-
ceed 40 rods in length, but the apple
orchards of the northwest are larger
as a rule. Even in large tracts it is
doubtful If it ever pays to run water
in burrows more than about 600 feet.
Where the soil is open and water sinks
readily through it, short burrows
should be used, otherwise much water
is lost in deep percolation on the up
per part of the tract. Prof. III. Gull
bertson of San Diego County Cal, af-
ter a careful investigation of this sub
ject has reached the conclusion that
on sandy or gravelly soil having a
steep slope the proper length of fur
rows is 200 feet, whereas on heavier
soils and flatter slopes the length may
be increased to 600 feet.
The grade of burrows varies quite
widely. In fiat valleys 1t often is not
possible to obtain a fall greater than
] inch to 100 feet, whereas on steep
slopes the fall may reach 20 inches per
100 feet. On ordinary soils grade of
to inches is to be preferred, and
where the fall exceeds 8 to 10 inches
to 100 feet the trees should be set out
in such way as to decrease the slope
OF the burrows.
The number of burrows in orchards
depends on the age of the trees, the
space between the rows, the depth of
furrow, and the character of the soil.
Nursery stock is irrigated by one or
two burrows and young trees by two
tc four. A common spacing for shall
low burrows is pa feet but deeper
burrows are to feet apart. The
general trend of orchard practice is
toward deep rather than shallow fur
rows, a depth of 8 inches being used
1 in many instances.
In spacing burrows chief considera-
| ton should be- given to the lateral
movement of moisture in the soil on
sure a fairly uniform distribution of
; moisture.
The furrowing implement most COM
monty used by the citrus orchardists
/ of southern California consists of a
sulky frame TO which are attached
two or three mold-board plows. Those
who prefer a small number of deep
burrows use II to 14-inch corn lister.
In the Payette Valley, Idaho, 200 or
more miners inches are turned into
the head ditch and divided up by
means of wooden spouts into like
number of burrows. On steep ground
much smaller streams are used. The
length of the furrow varies from 300
feet on steep slopes to 600 feet and
more on fiat slopes. The time re
quired to moisten the soil depends OF
the length of the furrow and the ma
ture of the soil. In this locality 4
varies from three to SO hours.
