LEVELING THE LAND Amount of Grading and Smooth tag for Irrigation Varies. It fs Great Mistake Not to Prepare Ground Properly In Fltut Instance to Cropa Can Be Readily Irrigated. !jr ELI AS NKf80N, TrrlRotlonlflt, Uni versity of Idaho Agricultural Experi ment Station.) Tho amount ot grading nnd smooth ing over that land may need for tho application of Irrigation wntcr varies with tho lay ot tho land. Somo fleldB havo such a uniformly even surfneo and slopo that very llttlo work besides a smoothing over Is rcqulrod. Ofton, howovor, lmolla occur that must bo scraped off and depressions that must 1)0 filled; where tho land Ih vory rough much grading will bo required. There arc few fields which will not require soin moving of dirt with scrapors. In nomo parts of Idaho lovollng Is overdone, whllo In other plnccs thero has not been enough. ' Tho surfaco soil, as wo know, has accumulated hu mus and Is well aoited and thus suited to the growth of plants. With tho Bubcoll it lo tlirteront. Whenovor, therefore, tho surface soil Is scraped off It requires a year or two or more to bring such ground Into it produc tive state. On this account no moro lovelln? should bo dono than Is neces sary fc -iropcr Irrigation. Where tho soil lo deep henvy grading rnay bo done, but whors It Is shallow grad ing should bo limited. The purpose of levollng and grading Is to eo fashion tho land that water may bo evenly distributed over it. Often,, however, somo extra lovellng Is ndvischlo to do away with ditches that would otherwise be required and that wsuld cut up tho land In lrrogular shapes. It lc a great mlstako not to lovol the land well In tho first lustanco so that crops can bo readily Irrigated, for If It Is dono properly at tho outset It is dono for all tlmo. On tho other hand, It Is also a mlstako to .grado oxcos olvely when thero Is no real necessity. Thq best tlmo to level is in summer or in fall, as tho soil Is dryer then and henco not so heavy to move and there )b no troublo about puddling the soil. In spring, wben tho soil is moist or wet, levollng; cannot be done so advantageously, Tho location of tho ditches (s deter wined by the lay ot the land and the system of applying water to bo In stalled. In general wo may say that It 1b desirable to run the ditches at right angles to tho lino fonces when ever the lay of the land will permit ft. Such ditches of courso will not have a uniform grade. Where dltchos are located in that way the floldB arb rectangular and henco nil farm oper atlons con be easily performed. Often It way be well oven to mako fills so as; to make ditches straight rather than following curved lines. On many forms tho lay of the land Is Btich that tho ditches cannot bo run at right angles to the lino fonces but must conform In a measure to tho contours, making irregular shaped fields unavoidable. Under such condi tions mako tho ditches on a grado of from .08 to .15 part of foot per 100 toet Ab a general thing wo should figure to irrigate with tho goncral shape- of the land, as by so doing water can bo moro evenly and expeditiously dls trlbuted over tho land. As regards ,the location of the ditches und tho details of tho systom of applying wa ter each farm is a problem In itself. Where the wholo farm has ono gen eral slopo it Is a slmplo mutter to de :termlno where tho ditches should go, Often, however, there nro various spes and tho system of ditches must be constructed to suit. UTILITY OF FALL IRRIGATION All r-'olua Reservoir Water qhould . turned on to Land (n the Autumn. Many aro so situated that they cau not do nny winter Irrigation becauso tho wntor Is turned off from tho catml niter mo growing ecasoa nha not turned on again until irrigation Is to begin In tho spring. Nature's way of breaking up and disintegrating tho solids in tho soil Is by freezing and thawing and dry soli does not freeze , vory much. Every farmer knows how looao and easily womeU Is tho soil after tho ground thaws out in tho spring and how often they wish they could keep it that wny all summer. Dut is ovorybody doing nil posslblo to promote this condition! Winter Irrigation will holp vory ma terially. Tho effect of late fall Irri gation on alfalfa is vory noticeable Ground irrigated in tho winter often produces ono-half to three-fourths of a ton more hay nt tho first cutting and during tho past summer tho first cut ting of alfalfa from winter Irrigated land ran ns high as 3t tons tho acre. Tho effect on all other ground la qulto nottccablo in dry springs. With tho usual long, dry winter and spring up to tho .first of May, with but llttlo moisture one would suppose that thero would bo no difference botween tho ground irrigated and that not irri gated, but tho crops on Irrigated ground come up much quicker and make at IcaBt one-half moro growth during tho summer. Ono reason por haps is becauso tlioy get tho start of tho weeds and keep them choked down. Many springs there is an abun danco of moisturo and every old range man kne vs that tho best grass follows a soggy wintor. Somo farmers havo no water with which to lrrlgato In win ter but those who hnvo should uso it by all means. All tho surplus rosor voir water should bo turned on to tho land in tho fall and run the risk of entirely refilling during tho winter. Saving tho moisturo by tlllngo la almost as important in tho growing of. a banner crop under Irrigation as it is for tho dry farmer. Tho condition of tho soil during tho growing season in regard to tho amount ot water, its freedom from clods, its mechanical condition on most ot our soils havo as much to do in making tho crop as tho fertility of tho soil. Of course wq must havo both to grow big crops year after year. Tho soil must bo loosoncd to good depth to allow tho water from heavy rains to sottlo quickly and not stand on tho top to form a crust; to take in more water when irrigated and no mako less In number tho irrigations with less, chanco for the ground to bake. Horse Thin In Flesh. Well, friend, timothy hay and corn aro not by any means a balanced rav ;tlon-for a horse, and unless you fed n, tlot .of.-com nnd she digested It well lyou would not likely see much flesh coming on her ribs, says a wrltor in Tribune Farmer. 1 suggest that you jget that corn ground into meal; then iwlth every 100 pounds ot tho meal mix 100 pounds of wheat bran and 25 pounds of Unseed meal, and feed hor a pound of tho mixture to every hundred pound rwoigbt of horBo dally In three feeds nnd as a seasoning place In each feed a tablespoonful of tho following: Granulated sugar, two pounds; com mon salt, ono pound: ginger, six ounces; powdered gelatin, four ounces; powderod sulphate of iron, four 'ounces; powdered' charcoal, three 'ounces; powdered anlso-soed, three ounces.

By feeding better animals It Is many times posslblo to doublo an lncomo without adding to the cost ot production. Cold, wet rains and young lambs do not go well together.
