LOOK TO IRRIGATION Last Season's Drought Causes Mlnnesotans to Think. Want Some Insurance Against Lew ef Such Crops as Fruit, Garden Truck and Some Varieties of Field Products. " , How last season's drought has jet thoughtful men In Minnesota to con sidering tho possibilities of Irrigation as' an Insurance against tho loss ot crops at least of Buch crops as are grown on limited areas, like fruit, garden truck and some varieties of field products Is shown by nn artl clo by F. L. Marsh ot Champlln, In Farm, Stock and Home, which Is In part ns follows: "Irrigation In arid regions Is a dlMcult problem. So Is conservation of soil molsturo In semi-arid regions. Out no ono thinks It Impious or fool hardy to try either. When a section usually humid becomes temporarily more. than semi-arid, can wo not at least try to provent harm, and to somo extent make up tho deficiency? "Gasoline or wind power is cheap, and wator is, In many localities, plen tiful. Why not uso It? I am awaro that It Is a man's slzo problem. When wo sco pcoplo try to wot their gar denn with a sprinkling cau, and then say watering Is of no benefit, wo should recollect that an Inch of rain fall means moro than 900 barrels-to tho acre, and six barrels to tho squnro rod. And it needs not ono Inch, but several. Thus something morq Is needed than tho pall method; the light application thn( makes n sur faco crust and leaves tho soil dryor after a day of Bunshlno than it was before. A thorough soaking Is re quired, and tho amount of water It takes on Bandy land Is surprising. "On tho other hand, tho amount of water a good pump will throw In a day )b surprising. Tho amount that can bo raised on an acre or two ot well fertilized, well tilled, and well watered land Is very surprising. An othor favorablo point Is, when It Js dry it is likely to bo hot, and soaking with cold water Is bettor than tho scalding vapor bath from sprinkling tho hot soil. " 'Likely It will bo wot next year?' How do you know? It will tako much moro rain than wo havo had yet to put tho subsoil In decently moist con dition, and n lot of rain or snow to mako a storo for noxt season's con servation or waste. (Which ot tho two shall it bo?) "Whoro shall wo got tho water? What about tho thousands ot lakes and streams In Minnesota? Can we mako no uso of them? What about that wonderful underground lako that Ilea under all this drift-covered re gion; often only a few foot from tho surfaco, and In strata through which water will flow freely to a drlvo point? Can't wo tap and uso that perhaps with reservoirs made water tight with mud aB are our lakes It wo cannot reach a lako or .stream? "Now I can't toll much about how to irrigate. I know how I Intend to try next season If I don't put It oft and forget; but my mothod might not suit another farm, and I hopo to know tho 'how better later. I do know that I could havo made several hundred dollars on a strawberry patch which tho hot sun and drying winds were ruining while wo wcro having well diggers' luck trying to got water enough to supply tho en gine, pump and pipes I already had. I know wo had results from what water wo did get, and no harm. My chief error was In waiting till tho water was needed boforo I tried to get it. "I have never scon a season with out a drought horo or In tho east; when a good soaking sometimes dur ing the growing season would not havo been a great benefit to berries, potatoes, garden stuff, grass land, and In lessor degree, perhaps to all othor crops. I would not suggest going Into tho matter heavily or thoughtlessly, but why not try It on a llttlo patch at least? It would glvo somo vegetables and fruit for winter, and many havo nono this year. A man hero in tho vlllago haB pumped water on his garden by hand, and has moro crop than many times tho land without water. Ho did not sprinkle, but kopt tho pump going for hours at a tlmo." The Laying Flock. Above all, do not allow roup to get a foothold, for nothing will stop their laying any quicker than this. If you havo any pullets affoctcd remove thom at onco from tho flock, for roup Is very contagious. It would bo well to doso tho drinking water of these affected ones with a good roup cure for two or throe days. Havo you mado tho nests attrac tive? If not, this may bo another rea son why they havo not begun to lay aB yet. Thoy should havo plenty of nice clean nests, each provided with a nest egg. All cock birds should bo kept away until the breeding season, for oxcltomont or unrest of nny kind la harmful to tho unmatured hen. If you havo erred In, bringing up thl3 year's pullets, do not mako tho samo mistake next year. Feed Trough for Poultry.

This Is tho tlmo to think seriously about hauling out tho manure rjC3 ap plying it to tho beet land for by this time wo are all agreed that we can not keep on growing sugar boots with out replenishing tho soil. We have had plenty of demonstrations to cinch this manure agreement so that thoro need no longer be any question about It In all tho sugar-coated talk wo get from the trust nothing Is over said about tho disastrous deterioration ot our soils under culture and It is a mat ter wo can no longer sidetrack. Last year In Otero county a flold contain ing 54 acres ot cultivated land waa planted to boots. Tho soil Is black, heavy adobe, easily cracked when be coming dry so that frequont Irrigation is necessary. Tho preparation of tho Bocd bod, seeding, cultivation and Ir rigation' woro -carried on promptly and thoroughly regardless of oxpenso, an It'wna desired to raise tho crop ac cording to tho standard mothod of tho vnlloy. Ton acres In this field was fertilized with ton tons of Btock yard manure to tho ncro during tho provlous win tor. On theso ton acres which aver aged 17.G per cent, sugar about two acres woro sprayed with doublo ntrcngth bordeaux mlxturo. In order to provent leat spot. Whllo tho dlaenso was not entirely provonted It waB checked to considerable degrco and tho 28.1 Ions harvested from this part of tho field containing 1.02 acros aver aged 14.04 tons tho aero with 18.1 per cent, sugar. Tho second patch also contained ten acrcp and was fertilized with ten tons of llmo tho ncro from tho factory settling basin but not manured. Tho Increase ot C.3 tons on each aero of this land was very marked. Still It must bo said that whero thojlmo was used moro Irrigation was noedod dur ing the season. Tho third patch con taining five acros was not manured or limed. Tho yield was a fraction less than ton tonB tho ncro and prob ably represents vory closoly what tho whole flold would havo yielded If no mnnuro or llmo had been supplied. Tho remainder of tho flold con tained 29 acres, which woro mnnurod with ten tons of stock yard manuro tho acre. This tract showed an in crease of 2.3G tons tho aero over tho adjoining tract not manured. The total coBt to grow and harvest those beets, ngt including reut, was $45.22 tho acre, which loft a not profit of $24.82 and this result comes vory near representing abput tho vory best that can be expected from beet culture in this couutry when tho best offorts are put forth to bring a crop through. Sleeping Quarters for Hogs. The. sleeping quarters for hogs must bo olean arid dry and separate from the feeding floor, and It quite a llttlo apart bo much tho bottor, as It will not Injuro tho pig oven In a pretty deep snow to go from Its slebplng to feeding pen and return, but a sleep ing placo for pigs must bo comfort able. In fact, no kind of Btock can bo profitably kept In n sleeping placo full of cracks and damp. Pigs do not neod much bedding it tho floor and sides are froo from cracks and tho root is good, but thoso things must bo seen to If a profit Is expected from winter feeding. And thon tho feeder must not bo lazy or Irregular. Feed ing must bo at regular hours and a regular amount and everything must bo kept clean. Raising Colts. Colts should havo plonty ot oxorclso to mnko bono and muscle, and should bo allowed to run on pasturo or tho winter wheat field ns much as tho weather will allow, Thoy should be salted frequently and given plonty of good, puro wator to drink. Thoy Bhould bo kopt In warm stalls when tho weathor is too severe to allow them to run out. Thero is no animal on tho farm which will return so good a profit as tho young colt. If It is developed propertly It must havo plen ty of feed and attention. LIVE STOCK NOTES. It pays to feed tho colts grain. Good food and exorcise must go to gether. Turn tho colts In tho yard every day for oxorclso. Tho sheep bites close, and will cat weeds down to the roots. Animals widely different In typo very seldom blend successfully, Tho favorite ago ot mules in tho market Is from four to six yoars. Threo to four brood sows aro as many as should be allowed to nest to gether. Animals aro ns uncomfortable ns a man would bo when forced to stand or Ho on a cold cement floor. Ensilage is ono of tho cheapest suc culent feeds that can bo supplied to farm animals during tho winter, Many breedorB hold that Bllago la not a safo feed for Bhccp, especially for breeding ewo3 and young lambs. Tho -proper feeding nnd manage ment of breeding sheep in winter is of vital lmportanco to orery flock owner. In no othor branch of animal feed Ing Is succulenco of so great lmpor tanco and of such oxtremo valuo ns in feeding sheep. It Is undcslrablo to keep your horsos hog fat during tho winter months when you havo vory llttlo work for them to do. Corn is good to fatten cows, but when it Is In .a dry and hard condi tion tho digestive organs do not get vory much rest from It. Corn silage Is better.
