WATR 10 ALFALFA I
urrows Method Is Confined to
s .Comparatively Small Area.
It Has Been Shown Water Is Rarely
Distributed Everdy In Furrow
Irrigation and Much Is Lost
by Deep Percolation,
Alfalfa, native meadows, and grata
are most commonly Irrigated by one
of tho methods previously doscrlbed
rather than by tho furrow method,
which is tho usual method ot Irriga
ting orchards, gardens, root crops' and
vegetables. Tho irrigating of alfalfa
from furrows is at prcsont confined
to the Yakima valley, Washington, to
portions of tho Snako river valley in
southern Idaho, and to comparatively
small areas in other states. In tho
localities numod the soil is a flno clay
loam which runs together, puddles
wheu wet, and bakes and cracks when
dry. Flooding the surfaces by arty of
tho customary methods tends to pud
dlo the top layer ot soil, which be
comes tnilto hard when 'tho moisture
Is ovaporated, writes Samuel Fortlcr,
chief of irrigation, United States de
partment of agriculture, In Irrigation
Age. The puddling and baking pro
cesses tnjuro alfalfa, and it was with
tho object of kooping as much as pos
sible of tho surface dry that furrows
wero introduced. When a small stream
is permitted to run in tho bottom of a
furrow for several hours tho soil be.-
neath and for dome dlstanco on each
side becomes wet, while the surfaco
may remain nearly dry.
Tho alfalfa grown in the Yakima
valloy In Washington is practically all
irrigated by means of furrows. Tho
grading is usually done by buck
scrapers, whilo a long rectangular
drag removes most of tho surface In
equalities that remain after the sur
faco has been leveled roughly by tho
Bcraper. The float is made of two 2
by C inch timbers about twenty feet
long, held in position by crosspleces
of the same size, six feet long.
The common practise is to run tho
furrows across tho entire width or
length of a field, and in consequence
their length varies from 20 rods to
less In small fields to 80 rods in largo
fields. Ab a rule, the furrows aro too
long. Fanners object to cutting up a
Hold by head ditches, but In a climato
like that of tho Yakima valley in mid
Bummer, by far the most essential elo
tnent in plant production la water, and
all other considerations should give
place to it. It has been Bhown that
water is rarely distributed evenly In
furrow irrigation and that much ia
lost by doep percolation. To Increase
the length of a furrow beyond CCO
feet, or one-eighth mile, not 'only in
creases tho loss, but renders a unl
form distribution more difficult to so
cure. Except in rare cases, this dls
tnnco should be regarded as to tho
limit for tho length of furrowB, In
light, sandy boIIb, having a porous
gravel stratum beneath, tho length
may well bo reduced to 250 feet.
A good method of dividing an alfal
fa field for furrow Irrigation Is by
placing lumber head flumes either 8
by 8 Inches or C by C inches along tho
upper boundary of each strip. Auger
holcB aro bored through one side of
the flume flush with tho bottom at
points whore water Is to be delivered
to the heads of furrows. A short piece
of lath revolving in a nail controls the
flow from each opening. On steep
grades a cleat on tho bottom of tho
inside of tho flume nailed on crosswise
Just bolow each opening will dam back
the water and Increase the discharge,
When flumes are considered too
costly tho water is distributed among
the furrowB through woodon spouts
sot In tho bank of an ordinary earthen
ditch. These head ditches when in
operation are divided Into a scries of
levol spaces by means of drop boxes
which hold tho surfaco of tho water at
tho desired elevation. Tho spacing of
theBO drop boxes depends on the
grade of tho hoad ditch and their cost
averages about $2.50 each. Spouts aro
made usually by nailing together four
lath. There Is a special lath on tho
market somewhat heavier than tho or
dlnary ono used for plastering build
lngs, being 0.5 Inch thick, two Inches
wide, and threo feet long. Four of
theso when nailed together cost about
3.5 cents and each spout In placo costs
about G.5 cents.
The Ground Mole.
Tho mole Is a stout, thick-set Insect

where it burrows with wondorful fa
cllity and constructs galleries often of
great extent and complexity. The molo

and If deprived of food Is said to sue

Moles havo been seen by various ob
Hervers, as if maddened by hunger, to
attack animals nearly as large nsi
thomsolves, such as blnlB, lizards,
frogs and even snnkes. If two moles
are .confined together without food tho
weaker is invariably devoured by tho
stronger. Thoy tako readily to the

Tho sweet potato Is oneof tho most

any other vegetable. Tho fact that tho

been observed that if the sWeot pota
toes aro kept well irrigated arid tho
Btirfacc soli moist a larger crop is pro.
duccd and tho tubers are nearer the
surface of tho ground than when tho
surface soil Is allowed to dry out too
much. If the surfaco soil dries out
too much the roots of the sweot pota
toes tend to follow tho molsturo and
go down deep into tho soil. In such
cases thcro is a development of tho
root seemingly at tho expense of the
crop, and tho tubors are down qulto

that if moro frequent but lighter irrl."

Irrigations at long intervals better re

larger yield tho sweet potatoes would

bo much easier to dig them but. Whon
the swoot potatoes aro near the sur

easily without bruising them vory

tho idea provails among many farm

data. All that can bo said now Is that
practically all tho sweet potatoes

Great caro must bo taken that tho
tubors are not bruised. Tho less they
are bruised the less loss, thcro will bo

LIVE 8TOCK NOTES. "
Men fall with sheep principally bo
cause they do not understand thorn.
A weak ram means weak lambs and
that means n lot of troublo and sor
row.
The bacon pigs should havo a run
of grass or some of tho clovers in the
summer.
Give the pigs a run where thoy can
get plenty of grass and clover or alfal
fa if possiblo.
One of tho first problems that con
fronts tho beginner Is tho housing and
protection of his Bhcop.
Ab horses aro high priced now, It
pays to save their health and strength
and prolong their lives.
See that pigs aro froo from llco. Dip
them in one of tho coal tar prepara
tions. Sheep dip Is good.
Feed somo grain to pigs In pasture;
It pays. One-half to two pounds per
day, depending on slzo and ago of
Pigs.
Try tho plan of watering tho har
vester teams during the middle of the
forenoon and afternoon. A pailful Is
enough.
To fatten hogs successfully they
should be kopt In a omall pen, say 32
feet square with a dry and comfortablo
placo to sleep.
Tho secret of success In keeping
Bheep as In keeping any kind of live
stock is to understand their needs and
cater to them.
Keep up your podlgroo stock breed
Ing and record your pedigree, keep
your best sires and breed for typo,
quality and early maturity.
Horses will havo a moro restful
nooning and go back to work with
greater strength If harness Is removed
when they come In from tho field.
A pure-bred maro may bo bred Just
as early as a grade and It Is not too
enrly to breed a mare at two years of
age, provided sho is properly dovel
oped.
A draft maro Is valuable for her slzo
and for the slzo oho can transmit to
her offspring. To produco heavy
horses, liberal feeding must be re
sorted to.
Curing Marine.
Mange In dogs can bo cured nl
though It requires patience. First clli
off all tho hair on tho nffected parts
then apply green soap and allow it to
remain five hours. Whon washed with
warm water tho scabs and scurf will
como off, Tho .parts should then bo
wiped drv and tho following roincdy
applied by rubbing It thoroughly Into
the diseased skin: Kreso, one ounce
nil of'-tar ono ounce, flowers of sul
phur one ounce, lard or vaqollno eight
ounces. Mix all together and rub Into
tho afflicted skin once dally for throe
or four days, then withhold for a week
and apply again.
Ashes for Pigs.
If pigs are confined in pens during
the fattening period It is a good plan
to foed them charcoal or wood ashes
or, in the absence of these, common
hard coal. A shovel full now and
then; onco a weok will do.
Care of Brood Sow.
The brood sow should havo plenty
ot cxorciso ana a variety of food
Plenty of green food if possible This
produces bone and musclo, and milk
which is Just as essential In the brood
