METROPOLIS OF THE WILDS
Spokane, City of a Hundred and Fifty
Thousand People, Has Good Trout
Fishing Within Limits.
A city of n hundred nnd fifty thou
sand people that hns-good trout fishing
within Its city limits nnd Indians liv
ing In their tepees a mile and a half
away Is something that you cannot
grasp unless you know the West. And
even If you do, Spokano would strike
you as something of a surprise. It
looks as though it had been built yes
terday In what was a virgin wilderness
the day before nnd yet made completo
with street cars nnd electric lights nnd
everything that you could find In a
. New Englnnd town, except, perhaps,
the cultured atmosphere.
The Spoknneltes do noC miss the cul
tured atmosphere. If you asked about
It they would probably tell you that
they prefer the smell of the pines. For
Ihey are an outdoors-living crew. A
citizen of Spokane may attend a board
of directors' meeting In the heart of
tho city at 10 a. m. and at 4 p. in.
he may bo hunting bear. The moun
tains crowd right down upon the city
nnd there are fifty lakes within a ra
dius of ri hundred miles.
Spokane, like Rome, was not built In
n day, but It was set up at n rate that
makes all of those old saws about how
long It takes to do things look hollow
and meaningless. It was only In 1858
that the Indians got their first declslvo
defent In this region nnd the first loco
motive arrived In 1881. By 1800 they
had something of a town started, but
It was wiped out by fire that year.
The real growth began, when tho
river was turned Into electric power-
170,000 horse. From this giant dynamo
electricity reaches out through the can
yons to hundreds of mines, driving tho
power' trams Into tho bowels of tho
fountains, bringing wealth to the city,
A?hlch sits like n spider at the center
of its mighty web or current.

WORK IN HOME GARDEN!
Number of Vegetables for U&c in
Following Winter.
Adequate Supply Will Do Much to
Make Family's Fare Attractlvo
and Economical Cultivation
and Storage.
Thero nro a number of vegetables
which, though grown In tho summer,
nro usually planted for uso In the fol
lowing winter. An adequate supply of
these produced In tho homo garden
will do much to mako tho family's
winter faro more attractlvo nnd more
economical. Among garden products
of this typo may bo named cabbage,
carrots, parsnips, turnips, nnd ruta
bagas. To store cabbage, the heads should
bo burled In pits or placed In cellars.
Ono method Is to dig a trench nbout 18
Inches deep nnd 3 feet wide nnd set
tho cabbago upright with the hends
closo together, and the roots embedded
in tho soil. When cold weather comes
tho hends are covered lightly with
straw nnd 8 or 4 Inches of earth put
in. Early cabbago cannot bo kept, ns
It does not stand hot wenther well. It
should bo used soon after it hns
formed iT solid head.
Cauliflower is cultivated In much
tho same way as cabbage, but when
the hends begin to develop the leaves
may be tied Over them In order to ex
clude the light nnd keep tho hends
white. Cauliflower requires n rich,

moist soil and thrives best under Irri
gation. Tho tender heads of this veg
etable are boiled with butter or cream,
and also used for pickling.
Tho roots of tho parsnip are dug
lato In tho fall nnd stored hi cellars or
pits, much as cabbago is, or else are
allowed, to remain whero they nro
grown nnd nro dug as required for uje.
All roots not dug during the winter,
however, should bo removed from the
garden, as they will produce seed the
second season and become of n weedy
nature. When the parsnip hns been
nllowed to run wild in this way tho
root is considered to bo poisonous.
Carrots are cultivated in practical
ly tho same way as tho parsnip, but
nro not thinned so much nnd arc al
lowed to grow as thickly as planted.
Those not used during the summer nre
dug In the autumn and iforcd in the
same manner ns parsnips or turnips.
If there is a surplus It may be fed
sparingly to horses and mules or cat
tle. Turnips require a rich soil and may
bo grown cither ns nn early or late
crop. For n lato crop It Is custom
ary to sow the seeds broadcast on
land from which some early crop has
been removed. In the North this is
generally done during July or August,
but the usual time is Inter In the
South. The plants nro quite hardy

nnd the roots need not bo gathered
until after several frosts. They may
then be stored in n cellar or burled in
n pit outside. Before storing, tho tops
should bo removed. If an early crop
Is desired the seed should bo sown In
drills 12 to 18 inches apart as early in
the spring as the condition of the soil
will permit. After the plants appear
they nro thinned to nbout 3 Inches.
Two pounds of seed nro required to
plant nn ncre.
The rutabaga Is qulto similar to the
turnip and Is grown in much tho
same way. It requires more space,
however, and a longer period for Its
growth. It is used to a considerable
extent for stock feed and has tho ad
vantage of being quite hardy.
WEEDS REQUIRE MUCH WATER
Plain to Be Seen That Cutting Down
Noxious Plants Is Moisture
Saved for Crops.
A large weed may uso ns much as
n barrel of water. A plant weighing
ono pound when dried has used up 700
to 800 pounds of water In making Its
growth, 70 to 80 gallons, making near
ly two barrels. From this it Is plnln
that cutting down weeds Is a very
good way of saving moisture for the
crop. North Dakota Experiment Sta
tion. LEGUMES CAUSES TO THRIVE
When Necessary Organisms Are Not
Present, Scatter Soil From 8omo
Inoculated Field.
Some legumes require Inoculation.
That is, the soil is pot always sup
plied with the organisms that cause
legumes to thrlvo find use free nltro
jjen. When these organisms nre not
present It Is neaetfeary to introduce
them by scattering the soil from an
Inoculated field over the ground to be
planted in the particular legume.
CALF FEEDING POINTS
1. Let calf hove colostrum or

not later than fifth dny.
2. Feed whole milk for two
weeks; gradually chnngo to
skim milk, using ten days In
making the change.
3. Start with eight to ten
pounds nnd gradually Increase
to twelve to sixteen pounds nt

4. Begin feeding ground corn

5. Provide good nlfnlfa or

MOISTURE STOLEN BY WEEDS
No Crop That Requires and Must Have
Moro Water to Make Growth
Than Common Weeds.
Did you ever hear a farmer com
plnln of the growth of the weeds nnd
complain nt the same time of the
wenther being too dry for tho crops?
There Is no crop that requires nnd
must have more moisture to make n
big growth than the common weeds.
Wherever the weeds nre big, unless It
be some such wood ns tho ltusslnn
thistle that lays Its limbs on the ground
nnd prevents evaporation, thero hns
been moisture enough to grow n crop.
The trouble Is, so many of us let
the weeds get the start of the crop.
AJ'c don't cultlvnto enough to kilt nil
tho seed thnf hns sprouted When we
plant grain.
Then ngnln, many of our strong
growing weeds hnve tap-roots that
penetrate deeper,than the grain roots
nnd get n good deal of the capillary
moisture coming up through the soil
before It reaches tho grain roots.
Whht'n shnmo It Is to spend so much
work plnntlng grain and either sowing
weed seed with It or not killing the
weeds thnt are already started In the
field nnd preventing their robbing the
grain of Its moisture.
And what nn injustice to blame the
weather for such a condition I

It is hard on the harness and bad for
tho animals that have to wear it to
have it encrusted with dirt With this
handy hanger the harness is hung up
In the manner best calculated to keep
It straight, and with n few seconds
more of work n gunrd is snapped over
the ends nnd tho harness will be there
until It is taken down again.
WEEDS SOON BECOME MENACE
Especially So Where Grass Is Sparse
and Unthrifty Profitable to
Use the Mower.
t
In permanent pasture, especially
where tho grass is sparse and un
thrifty, weeds become n menace. If
neglected ns tho seasons go by these
weeds will spread over the entire pas
ture, In time smothering or crowding
out tho vnlunble grass. Sheep will
keep most of these weeds in check,
but where no sheep nro kept head
way Is gained rapidly.
It Is enslest to eradicate these weeds
ndicn they first mnke their appear
ance nnd nre few nnd scnttered. The
work can bo accomplished with tho hoo
nnd scythe. If, however, they have
gained too great a headway the mow
er must bo employed. It is both prac
ticable and profitable, nnywny, to run
over the pasture fields with the mower
so as not to leave any weeds go to
need.
CARING FOR PASTURE LANDS
Good Grazing Cannot Be Expected
Where There Is Large Amount of
Water-it Payo to Drain.
Pasture lands thnt arc Fnturated
with water cannot bo expected to fur
nish good grazing, besides it's very
unhealthy for live stock. By proper
and careful drainage much of the wet
nnd marshy pasture land which now
produces only unpalatable, tough,
fibrous feed, If any nt all can bo
made into profitable pasture land,
which, when tiled, will be found to be
very productive agricultural land.
Palatable and nutritious grasses for
our flocks and herds cannot be ex
pected to grow continuously on slight
ed pasture land. It will run out. It
pays to drain it and feed It with home
made fertilizers evenly distributed
with a manure spreader.

BENEFITS OF CONCRETE ROAD
Enables Farmer to Haul Two Loads
at Ono Trip, Instead of Ono Load
nt Two Trips.
Itedurtd to simple terms, n concrcto
rond helps tho farmer haul two loads
nt one trip Instead of ono lonn nt
two trips ; or, It .doubles the size of
tho loud and cuts in two tho trnctlvo
power necessary to transport form
produce. With less capital tied up In
horses there is more cash to put Into
equipment to produce moro cush. Tho
concrete road reduces the strain on
horses nnd lengthens their lives. It
reduces wear on wagons nnd harness.
Where motortrucks nro used It less
ens tire nnd fuel expense. It puts
the fanner In n stnte of prepnredncss
to rench markets quickly when prices
aro best, and he can tnko his profits

It adds to tho ncrengc vnluo of a farm
because It Increases its earning pos
sibilities. A concrete road makes till
pf these advantages permanent, bring
