It was an evolution In tho art ot naval

to promlso a permanent chango In
theory and practice What tho
Monitor did tor us In tho crisis which
it was deslgnod to meet Is matter of

DYNAMITE IN ORCHARD
(Should Be Done Only Where Tree
Is to Be Planted.
Advantage Is That the Roots Will
Pcntrate to a Greater Depth and
Irrigation Will Go Deeper
Resistance to Droughts.
Tho first thing to bo known In
planting an orchard Is how to prepare
tho ground to bo planted. The ground
iihould bo treated JtiBt as If wo wcro
going to plnnt it to nny grain crop,
Buch as wheat, oats, barley or corn.
Alt triiHh should bo removed nnd the
ground should bo well plowed. How
'deep to plow must bo determined by
the nature of the' soil. Some hoIIb aro
.naturally looso and open. In such
icascs the plowing need not bo very
ideep for tho slmplo reason that such
boHh cannot bo materially changed by
plowing, writca F. Waldcn In the Den
ver Field and Farm. But when the
ground Is compact nnd lmrd it should
bo looacncd up to the depth of a foot
or more. In many such cases If tho
'Btlrrlng plow could bo followed by a
narrow subsoil plow, much good
.would bo accompllshcl. If thero 1b
hnrdpan within one or two feet ot the
surface, (hen the use of dynamite is
,to bo recommendpd.
It would not bo best to dynamite tho
wholo field to bo planted for that
would bo attended with much labor
and expense. InHtead of this whole
Balo dynamiting, let tho ground be
laid off nnd tho placo where each tree
is to bo Bet can bo dynamited. The
nilvnntngo In dynamiting where ench
tree Is to bo sot 1b that tho roots will
penetrate to n much grentc depth
nnd tho Irrigation water will go as
deep as tho roots. A tree In such po
pltlon will rcHlst drought much better
than thoso plnnted over hnrdpan for
theso havo all their rootB near tho sur
jfaco and will readily dry out.
A friend of mine told mo about a
bccullar caso of the benefits' of dyna
miting that hnppencd to a man in
Missouri. In cleaning oft his orchard
tract thero wns occasionally a big
stump that wna blown out with dyna
mite. Tho object in UBlng dynamite
wan simply to get rid of theso stumps,
with no thought of bcnciltlng the con
dition of tho lnnd. Tho ground wns
planted to apples and all parts re
ceived tho aamo kind of cultivation.
But to tho mnn'B aurprlso ho found
that now nnd then a trco wns moro
vigorous than lta neighbors and in a
few ycarB was nlmost twice as largo.
That was not all, for when tho or
chard enmo Into bearing, theso vig
orous treeB bore largo nnd better ap
ples. At first this wholo matter was
In mystery to tho orclmrdlst, but flnnl
ly ho remembered tho dynamiting and
upon oxnmlnatlon ho found that ench
'ono ot theso vigorous trees stood
Jwhoro a stump had been 'blown out
It wnB found upon examination that
water went very much deeper where
tho Boll had boon broken up by tho
dynnmlto and nB n result tho moisture
about tho lower roots lasted through
tho dry season nnd thus tho trees
there romnlned vigorous and contin
ued to grow while tho other trees In
itho orchard looked sickly and tho
ifrult on them wan small nnd poorly
colored.
From this and from lessons learned
;by observation I am convinced that In
many cases it would pny largo returnB
If wo dynamited tho ground where
leach treo.ls to bo planted. I havo
jRomo places In my own orchard whero
thls method of dynamiting would bo
'prnctlced If I were again Betting tho
ground to apploa. A low grndo of
dynamlto should be used. A holo
could bo drilled with a crow-bar to
'tho depth of threo or four Teet and
;tho charge exploded at the bottom. I
hnvo hnd no experience In this matter
and cannot give tho cost of such
work, hut I am told by thoso who
.claim to know that tho oxpouso Is
light.
MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY LICE
Poultry Yards and Houses Must Be
Kept Clean at All Times to Keep
Injurious Vermin Away.
Should you enter tho poultry ynrd

.trouble, and without doubt you will
discover tho llco; or, If tho chicks do
,not grow as you think they should,
look for tho trouble. It may bo tho
snino old lice.
When tho chicks are hatched It Is
an excellent plan to greaBo tho bend
and under tho wings with pure lard
not enough to chill tho chicks. Many
havo found to tholr sorrow that
various mixtures of coal oil, vnsollno
and Insect powdor will kill the chicks
as woll as tho Insects.
Tho yardB and Iioubob must bo
clenn nt nil times through tho hot
months, or you enn't keep the llco
away, and lice nnd bucccss do not go
tho snmo way. Paint tho brood coops,
tho noat boxes nnd tho roosts; Indeed,
everything but tho chickens should

Thero Is no worso drawback to the

.Insects which render tho llfo of tho

HAS TANKLESS WATER WORKS
Pneumatic Pump Invented by Kansas
City Man Manipulated by Com
pressed Air How It Operates.
A tanklcss water works system in
tho fnrmhouso or about tho place,
with any prcssuro desired, Is tho ob
ject Wllllnm R. Chamberland, a Karo
os City inventor, has sought and now
believes he has attained in a pneu
matic pump. An experimental pump
wan put In nt tho plant of the New
land Ice company, Kansas City, Kan.,
Inst fall and worked successfully threo
months, until It wns taken out for
demonstration elsewhere.
Tho npparatus la absurdly Blmple to
look at. Two cyllndorB with flontlng
valves Inside aro Installed In tho well
or cistern from which tho water Is to
be pumped. Air is stored in a tnnk
to any pressure dcBlred, by electricity,
wind mill, gas onglne, Bteam or even
by hand. Tho tank Is connected with
a rocker valvo working between the
two cylinders.
When a flow of water Is desired the
turn of a faucot or any opening of tho
system causcB tho compressed air to

switches automatically and tho other
cylinder being full of compressed air
tho flow of water proceeds without
Interruption. Tho pressure la gov
orned by tho pressuro in tho air tank,
which may bo stored at odd times, tho
compressed air being required only as
water Id used.
It Is expected that the now pump
will bo modified to handlo large quan
tities of wator at low pressures for
Irrigating purposes. Patents were ob
tained recently by the Inventor.
Cover Crops In Orchard.
Advocates of clean culture in or
chards aro quoting Sojayno's experi
ments for tho government in Wash
ington nB showing that it takes more
wator and trees mako less growth.
This may be tho caso with tho young
orchard; probably is; but it does not
affect tho question of cultivation,
which, If carried on long enough with
out added humus, produces a hard pan
nnd very poor physical condition, aB
was tho caso at Canon City and other
places whero tho government tried ex
porimenta as to the amount of water
required. Theso orchards aro now in
lino condition aB n result of covor
cropa and tho water-holding capacity
of tho soil has been bo, increased as to
work a great economy. Tho cultiva
tion is nlso much easier.
Root-grafting may be done any
time until April 1.
Tho damago dono by rabbltB docs
not stop with tho treeB they girdle.
Tho poach and plum aro short
lived trees. Tho pear and apple aro
long-lived.
Young orchards aro Injured by bor
ors, rnbblta and mlco and should bo
protected against these posts.
Preparations Bhould now bo mado
to protect the younger trees In the or

One secret ot success In getting

Experiments have shown that peach

trees leaf out bofore thoy spray with
Bordeaux mixture.
Preparations for Bpraylng tho or

This year's Bprouts may be pulled

the exocutlvo commlttoo of tho Na
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, prior to tho last Head.
Camp of tho Modern Woodmen ol
America, gave tho following official
notlco to that society:
"Pursuant to action of tho national

than man's laws namely, tho laws of

also bo such that tho beneficiaries ot
tho last member to dlo will receive
every dollar that Buch member's cer
tificate calls for."
Stato lnsurnnco Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued nn of
ficial intervlow In which ho says:
"Fraternal societies generally have
como to recognize that their business
must bo conducted on u sound basis.
Thla means a re-rating for nearly ev
ery society, nnd members who do not
fully understand tho situation aro
often inclined to complain of in
creases In their rates. They should
understand that with a re-ratlng on
a sound basis they havo a much moro

Insurance for what was uncertain be

ica, by reason of Us long experience
with a largo membership, is permitted
lo mako a rate upon its own experi

based on tho National Fraternal Con
gress table, which now societies must
dopt. Tho cost of this insurance is
pot a matter of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon tho
actual deaths in tho society. A re
ratlng merely means that each mem

cost Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do well to
take enough time to study tho ques

bring regret to both themselves and
their families."
Tho Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"It is unpleasant for tho members'
of tho Modern Woodmen Society to

but lot them think how much moro un
plensant it would be for thoso 5,000,

them, to bo deprived of that protec
