ure against Prosser. In the second
and fourth quarters the Kennewick
team was within scoring distance but
the necessary punch to put it across
was lacking.
The Prosser team was strong on
line bucking. Time after time they
would go through the Kennewick line
for yardage. In the second period.
the ball was worked to within two
yards of the goal. A line buck put
it across for the only touchdown of
the game. The try for point was
successful and the scoring was ended.
Kennewick's chance of winning the
count, came in the fourth quarter.
A pass to Seward brought the ball
to within three yeards of the goal.
Here, poor headwork On the part of
the quarterback and lack of fight
spoiled the chances for Kennewick.
Although the Kennewick team did
not score it is steadily improving.

with Ritzville Friday promises to be

DRAMATICS
In order to give each class in the
high school an opportunity to show
its dramatic talent a dramatic club
has been organized. Besides giving
to each class, the role of entertainer
of the high school once each semes-
ter, it is the intention of this club
to present a play to the public. This
will probably be staged in the high
school gymnasium near the end of
the school year.
SENIORS AT WORK ON PLAY
The Senior class play this year
promises to be fine one. The play
selected is Green Stockings" by A.
E. w. Mason. A cast of eleven char
acters is already hard at work in or

a par with the play "Come Out of

TAKE CARE OF SOWS
AT NARROWING TIME

This Ia the time Of year when the
swine grower receives his greatest
harvest, and for this reason special
precautions should be taken.
A week before the SOW is due to
farrow she should be separated from
the herd and placed In pen by her
self SO that she will become accus-
toned to her new quarters. The care
taker should make her accustomed to
being handled The SOW may easily
be trained to lie down by scratching
her on the side. This little stunt" Is
very helpful in quieting the SOW after
she has narrowed and In preventing
her from lying on and crushing her
pigs. The herdsman should make It a
point to be present when pigs are
narrowed. With an old sack or cloth
each pig may be dried. Apparently
dead pigs may be revived by rubbing
and blowing In the mouth and nostrils.
The pigs may be kept In box or
basket until the SOW is through far
rowing, after which they may all be
turned with the sow.
The pen or house for the brood sows
should be not less than by feet
Greater dimensions are decidedly pref
cradle. Often when the weather is
good sows do best outside, as they
have more room and they crush fewer
Of their pigs.
There should be enough bedding and
not too much. If too much bedding is
supplied, the pigs may become en-
tangled and be crushed when the
mother lies down.
Just how much the SOW should be
watched Immediately after narrowing
will depend on the temperament Of the
sow, the condition of the pen, the
weather, and various other factors.
Sometimes sows do better when left
alone, and sometimes they must have
attention. This should be left to the
skill and judgment of the herdsman-
For the first "a hours after farrow-
ing a SOW should not receive food, but
should be offered water.
1t is not necessary or wise to in
vite all the neighbOrs in to see the
litter the first few days. This causes
undue excitement at a time when the
SOW needs TO be quiet.

PRUNE ROOT SYSTEM
OF NEWLY SET TREE

The transplanting of most decidu-
GUS fruit trees and Of many other
plants Is usually accompanied by the
loss Of a considerable part Of the large
roots and Of the fibrous roots, and
by the destruction Of practically all OF
the root hairs. Before active ABSORB
ton can begin after transplanting,
new root hairs must be formed; and
these new root hairs will be formed
only On new branch rootlets. In order
to encourage a rapid development Of
these branch rootlets and root hairs,
the root system that was formed In
the nursery should be pruned- This
fact Is often overlooked, says E. H
Rawl, assistant extension horticultural
at Clemson college.
With peaches, apples and plums the
roots should be shortened to a length
Of about six or eight inches On all
sides. All fibrous roots less than an
eighth or quarter Of an inch in diam
eter may be removed entirely. These
fine roots which are usually dead (a1
ordinary nursery stock is recelved)
make il difficult to pack the soil in
contact with the main roots All
broken or badly mangled roots should
be cut back TO firm wood. When the
roots are pruned in this manner they
Will soon callus over; otherwise many
Of the long broken or bruised roots
Will decay, and fbrous roots and root
hairs will form very slowly when
spring growth is initiated The knife
is much more convenient than shears
for trimming the roots.
The trees should never be planted
before the land has been thoroughly
prepared by deep blowing and har'
rowing. The holes should be dug only
deep and wide enough TO accommodate
the. root system conveniently. II the
main roots are pruned TO length Of
six inches, then a hole IA inches in
diameter will be sufficiently large. II
the hole is either too deep or too shall
low, this should be remedied before
placing the tree The first few shoTels
Of earth should be fine, and the planter
should hold the tree firmly in place
with one hand, and distribute the soil
under and over the roots with the
other. The roots should be carefully
spread out in all directions, more soil
spread over them and frmed under and
around the roots and into the crotches.
II the soil is in good condition and not
too wet, there is no danger of pack
ing it too firmly. The top inch or two
of soil should not be packed but left
loose as a mulch. When the planting
is finished. the ground about the tree
should be level. The tree should be
planted the same depth in the orchard
as it stood in the nursery row, though
there is no harm in planting it one
half to one inch deeper than it stood
In the nursery row.

February Colts Develop
Rapidly With Good Care

Where a good warm barn and care
can be afforded for the spring colts,
most farmers find 1t pays them TO
have the foals come early. This gives
the mares a chance TO get into good
health during the late winter, and
they can be used In the spring work
after foaling.
Early breeding. in March, brings
colts the following February. ibis
enables the colts 10 get 10 early pas
tures. and they develop faster the first
year. Care has 20 be taken with early
breeding. however. as colts can easily
contract pneumonia II they haven't
good warm quarters for the late win
ter winds and rains.
Late colts also have some adyan-
tsses over early ones. the main one be
ing that there Is little worry OF the
foals weakening by running IN the
open. and late breeding Is desirable
where there are poor barn facilities.
Late foaling usually makes Il poor
management % cry 20 use the mares

Crushed Oystershell and
Lime Are of Importance

Do your hens frequently lay soft
shelled eggs, though plentifully sup
piled with crushed oystershell? II so
ii is perhaps due TO an over-fat condi-
ton OF the fowls This is especially
true when hens are fed almost exclu-
sively on grains Repeated expert
ments prove that all the lime needed
for the forming OF eggshells is not TO
be found IN oystershells; therefore, the
feed must provide a part Of the neees-
sary lime.
While grains contain much starch.
they are deficient in lime. Hence,
when the hens receive much grain and
little feed containing mineral matter,
they receive more starch than they
can utilize because Of the shortage OF
mineral matter in their systems Clio
yer and alfalfa are both rich In min
eral matter, so the feeding OF these
legumes will help much TO offset the
starchiness OF the grains.
Excessive fat not only retards lay
ing but causes various sorts OF freak
eggs II the eggs from an over-fat
hen are used for incubation, the chicks
viii lack vitality and are often de-
formed.

Pruning Young Trees Is
Quite Important Factor

Pruning is an important factor in
getting young fruit trees started on
the right road to proper growth, &C
cording to A. E. Schilletter, extension
horticulturist at Clemson college, in
outlining the desirable steps in prun-
ing.
1. Young trees should be cut back
at the time of painting TO: la bal
ance the loss of roots removed in dig
ging from the nursery; (b) and to Sc
cure low heads.
2. Three TO five main or "scaffold"
limbs, spaced three TO six inches apart,
where they arise from the trunk, form
a desirable framework for the tree
the first year.
8. These three or five scaffold limbs
should divide during the second year.
TO form six main Limbs at a height Of
approximately "a inches above the
ground.
4. Once the desired main limbs are
secured. subsequent winter pruning
should consist of thinning out and
shortening back.
5. Maintain small lateral branches
along the large limbs. from the trunk
of the tree upward
6. Maintain an open center to adj
NIT ample sunlight.
