WAR IN THE TIPPING NUISANCE.
If tho commercial travelers of this
country really do go after tho tip
ping system with nil tho power they.
possess, they can nearly, If not en
Uroly, destroy It. Their national pres
ident avows his determination to raJJy
tho organization to an assault upon
this graft, which, ho says, foots up
150,000,000 n year In tho United
States. If theso flguros even ap
proximate tho facts, tipping Is rnoro
thnn a nuisance to Individuals, It Is
nn enormous tax upon business that
should not bo tolerated. It has mado
parasites not only of a hordo of ser
vants, hut of certain linos of husl-:
nesB, which thus, through underpaid
employes, prey upon othor businesses.
Tipping might find bo mo plausibility
If It amounted only to gratuities to n
faithful servant seeking to please, but
everybody knows thnt It goes far bo
yond this, says tho Omaha Ueo. Tho
tip Ih moro ofton glvon, not for extra
ncrvlco, but to get any kind of ocrv
Ico at nil. It Is not surprising that
commercial travolors think of organ
izing a united attack upon tipping.
Tho surprlso Is that they havo not
dono so long yours ago. They prac
tically llvo on tho road, In hotels nnd
trains a good pnrt of tho year. Thnt
sort of life Is hard nt host. To make
tho most of It thoy pay tips that thoy
may obtnln a living existence so to
Bpcnk. Tho commercial trnvelors can
destroy tho tip If thoy will. They can
got no-tip hotols when they unltodly
demnnd them nnd thoy can got, nt
least, Bomo Improvement In condi
tions oven from tho Bleeping enr com
finny. If thoy succeed thoy will havo

Theoretically, says a Jeweler, tho

Insists, It has both gained nnd lost In

morning runs slow, thus equalizing
tho tlmo. Ho says tho host watches
should ho wound twlco a dny and then
nt only two-thirds of tho capacity of
tho mainspring, thus preventing either
binding or extremes of strong or
wonkencd spring. Tho bnlanco whool

SUGAR BEET CULTURE
Fall Plowing Is One Most De
sirable Factor.
fin Ute of Irrigation Much Care and
Judrjment Should De Exercised
Water Applied at Right Times
Insures Good Crop,
(fly .1. C. HOC1HNHON, Utah.)
In tho preparation of tho land for
tho sugar beets, fall plowing Ib a de
sirable fnctor, as tho food and moist
ure required by tho young plants nro
thorehy moro easily obtained and tho
ground will bo In n better condition
to mnko n good Boodbod. If tho soil
Is not rich enough In humus, wollrot
ted manure should bo aprond and
plowed under In tho fnll, using about
ton loads to tho acre. Horso nnd
bhccp manure aro especially valuable
A manuro pllo upon which beets or
their tops have decayed should ho
avoided, as diseases aro likely to a
pear noxt season In consequence
In tho Irrigation of tho boots much
enre nnd Judgment should bo exercis
ed. Prof. Shnw has formulated tho
following general nnd very proper In
structions; For tho successful Irri
gation of tho beet crop, somo funda
mental characteristics of the plant
must ho considered; for by tho wrong
ubo of wntor It Is an easy matter to
ruin tho crop. On tho othor hand,
water applied at tho right tlmo will
usunlly InBiiro a largo and profitable
crop. Tho uugar beet will got along
with lens water and will Btnnd moro
of It thnn most other fnrm crops. This
statcmont needs tiomo explanation,
however, for, while In ono bciiho It Is
truo, It Is nlso truo that tho crop may
ho ruined by too llbornl application
of wntor, or by Ub application at tho
wrong tlmo In tho llfo of tho plant.
Thoro nro threo porlodH In tho llfo of
tho sugar boot which demand entire
ly different treatment so far as moist
uro Ib concorncd. (1) Tho germinat
ing or plnntlet period, embracing tho
tlmo from (planting until tho plnnt baa
four leaves. (2) Tho growing por
lod, In which tho form nnd bIzo of tho
plant nro dovolopod. (3) Tho sugar
storing period, In which tho sugar Is
elaborated from tho air.
In tho first period tho necessary
condition Is thnt tho hoot seed should
havo Bulllclont moisture and warmth
to gormlnnto and start It, but never
In excess.
After tho plant has developed four
loaves thoro Bhould bo snlllclont moist
uro In ,tho soil to dovolop It, but cau
tion should be used In npplylng It for
about two months. When tho plant Ib
young Its natural tondoncy Is to send
Ub tnproots deop Into tho soil to pro
cure molsturo, and this In tho tlmo
thnt tho form of tho boot Ih set. It
tho wntor at tho surfaco Is given too
booh nnd too abundantly nt tho be
ginning of this period, tho shape of
tho root Ib ruined, for tho plnnt will
havo too strong a tendency to roly
upon tho surface molsturo rather than
to seek tho molsturo of tho soil below,
becoming thus a short, stubby, forked
boot. Tho beet may show n tondoncy
to droop Its loaves and beconio lighter
In color, but this does not Indicate
that molsturo Is needed. Irrigation
should not bo resorted to until thcro
Is nn nbsoluto demand for It. Wilt
ing of tho leaves In tho hent of tho
day does not Indicate tho need of ir
rigation. If tho leaves recover their
vigor In tho evening it is nufllcient ev
idence thnt their wants nru supplied
In this direction. When tho plnnt
really needs wntor tho lenvos droop
nnd grow darker In color nnd will not
recover their vigor In tho evening.
Maturity of Hogs.
Prom n mnrkot standpoint a, mnturo
hog Is ono that has either temporarily
or pormnnontly censed growing, nnd
taken on tho form and finish required
by the meat trade. Tho tlmo at which
,n pig comen to maturity may bo de
termined vory largely by tho char
Wtor of tho food and tho mannor of
.feeding. Pigs hnvo boon brought to
maturity nt will anywhoro botweon
tho ages of hIx and nine months.
' Knrly maturity Is brought about by
deeding nn excess of non-nltrogonous
feeds, or by sudden chnngos from
nitrogenous to non-nltrogonous feeds.
Ily feeding an oxcoss of Bitch n fat-
forming feed as commenl, tho pigs do
not havo n sulllclent nmount of pro
teln nutriments to contlnuo their
growth, and so begin to Iny on fat.
Increase In Value of Sheep.
While tho number of mnturo sheep
,'ln tho United Statos shows n slight
(decroaBo during tho past ton years,
according to tho Inst census, thoro
has beon a romnrknblo rlso in values,
amounting to 57.3 por cent.
This would Indicate a healthy con
dition In tho sheep busluesB, al
though tho big open ranges of tho

sections by tho small farm. In many

"If you want to got rid of tho weeds

tral Illinois farmor tho othor day,
"turn a llock of sheep In, and they

ALFALFA AND BROOD MARES
Hay Has Great Field of Usefulness In
Feeding All Classes of Live
Stock Grain Needed,
Alfalfa hay has n very great field of
usefulness In feeding all classes of
llvo stock under western conditions.
It cannot bo safely fed to brood marcs,
however, In unlimited qunntltlcB.
From some sections of tho Irrlgat
cd belt hnvo -come reports of a largo
perccntnge of colts bom dend or weak
and deformed. In Borne cases an over
UBcd nnd dofcctlvo stallion Is undoubt
cdly responsible. In many cases, how.
over, when colts nro lost In tho man
ner bofore mentioned, the farmorB aro
feeding nlfaSfn liny and alfalfa alono
to their marcs. It should not bo so
fed. For best results with tho brood
tnnro some grain should bo fed In nd
dltlon to the hay. In case It Is desir
ed to feed n lnrgo nmount of hay ns
compared with tho grain, tho hny ra
tion will bo Improved nnd made Bafer
by combining wild hay, timothy, or
ovon ont or wheat straw with the al
falfa. In no event Bhould n brood
maro weighing 1,200 to 1,500 pounds
ho fed moro thnn 15 or 10 pounds of
alfalfa dally.
A solo ration of nlfnlfa hay contains
a much larger proportion of nitrogen
than tho ln-fonl maro necdB or can
ueo. Tho BurpliiB must bo eliminated
as n waste and this condition lays an
oxtrn burdcri on tho digestive tract
and on tho orgnns of elimination.
Especially heavy Ib tho labor placed
on tho kidneys.
Thoro nro probnbly many enscs
where large quantities of nlfnlfn hnvo
been fed to brood mares without ap
parent Injurious effects. There Is un
questionable danger of abortion and
wenk nnd dofcctlvo colts from Btich

As a result a. large area of fertllo soil

To remedy this condition tho gov

Tho project has beon brought to

Many of tho Irregularities In tho
health of tho farm Btock can bo

On overy farm, where tho soil and
cllmntlc conditions nro favorable,
corn should bo grown for fodder pur

In feeding values sllago compares
favorably with other crops, although
this will vary with tho kind of stock

Tho best results nro usunlly ob

This Is not nlwnys tho hardost work
