LIVE STOCK ON RECLAMATION PROJECTS I IRRIGATED PASTURE ON BOISE RECLAMATION PASTURE. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) It is becoming generally understood (flat live stock industries must be es tablished on northern reclamation projects if the best agricultural devel opment these areas is to he brought about. In such development, it is recognized, irrigated pastures must play an important part. One of the chief advantages of the summer pas turing of live stock on irrigarion pro jects is that during that period labor is especially scarce and costly on the reclaimed areas. The proper manage ment of irrigated pastures is outlined in a circular recently issued by the bu reau of plant industry of the United States department of agriculture. The information in the circular is based on experiments conducted dur ing several years by federal and state agencies at the Huntley (Mont.), Scottsbiuff (Xeb.), and Belle Fourcke (S. D.) field stations, and at the Good ing (Idaho) experiment station, by the University of Idaho; and on ob servations made during the past four years on 11 northern reclamation pro jects. There is reason to believe that, while the carrying capacity and meth ods followed vary on different farms under observation, with good manage ment an acre of pasture will support two cows or their equivalent in other live stock from four to six months each year, depending on the location of the project. It also appears that under favorable local conditions and proper care, the stock-carrying ca pacity of these pastures could be in creased somewhat from year to year. Profitable Pastures. Farmers in the Salt Lake valley of Utah have found that irrigated pas tures are profitable on land which is valued at §200 an acre. A da ire farm er in the Snake River valley of Idaho reports that Lis irrigated pasture car ries three cows per acre. The value of such pasturage can be stated in terms of hay replacement. Two cows will consume approximately a ton of alfalfa hay each monlh. If this hay is valued at §5 a ton, the hay replacement value of an acre of irri gated pasture will be §0 a month. The length of the pasture season varies from four to six months, depending on the climatic conditions on the differ ent projects. Hence the hay-replace ment value of an acre of good pasture can be estimated at from $20 to SHO a year. These hay-replacement values would, of course, be greater when the price of hay exceeded $5 a ton. In connection with this, it is important to consider the fact that the use of pastures requires much less labor than the feeding of hay, and that good pas ture is at least equal to, if not bet ter than, hay as feed for cows. Such returns r.s these fully justify the use of some of the best land on the farm for irrigated pasture. ->ot iiu tarmers wno nave tried irri gated pastures have obtained satisfac tory results, but in most cases the failures have been due to causes which might have been prevented. One com mon error is the belief that the pas ture should occupy that part of the farm which does not produce satisfac tory yields of farm crops. Many have attempted to produce pasture on shal low soil or land that is rocky and un suited for pasturage. Careless prepa ration of soil and poor seed dre also common causes of failure. Low carry ing capacity frequently is due to the fact that only grasses are used, where as it is desirable to include one or two clovers. Overstocking, particularly during the first year, grazing when the soil is too wet, and inadequate or im proper irrigation are other explana tions of lack of success. Preparing Seedbed. The circular devotes considerable at tention to selection of locations for pastures, preparation of the land, the importance of using fertile and pro ductive soil, making provision for prop er irrigation and proper preparation of seedbed. Under the subject of the seedbed, the author writes: “The seedbed should be carefully prepared and made firm and smooth, so that a satisfactory stand can be secured. It is ordinarily better to pro vide plenty of moisture in the soil be fore seeding time than to seed in a dry soil and irrigate immediately afterwards. This is true particularly of heavy soil, on which a tough crust is likely to form after irrigation and interfere with the emergence of the young plants. On light soils, how ever, where the upper three or four inches dries out very rapidly, it fre quently is necessary to seed in dry soil and to irrigate immediately after seed ing. In such instances the use of the corrugation method of irrigation dur ing the first year is particularly de sirable, and the land should be pre pared accordingly.” Pasture Crop Varieties. Regarding pasture crops the pub lication says: “Thete are in use in irrigated pas tures a variety of crops in almost in numerable combinations. In the great majority of cases, however, the best results are secured with a mixture of one or more grasses and at least one variety of clover. Sweet clover alone is used to some extent on a number of projects, but no information has been secured which appears to warrant any general recommendation of this crop in preference to mixed grasses for ir rigated pastures. Some cases of sweet-clcver bloat have been reported, and it has not been possible to secure any reliable data showing that sweet clover has a liigh carrying capacity. The use of alfalfa as a pasture crop for cattle or sheep cannot be recom mended for the northern projects, be cause alfalfa so frequently causes loss from bloat. On one of the projects, 55 per cent of the cattle lost during '.he year 1915 are known to have died from alfalfa bloat. Losses sustained I y farmers and in the experiments of the office of western irrigation agricul ture of the bureau of plant Industry indicate that it is not safe to use even a small quantity of alfalfa seed in pasture mixture. From tlie informa tion at present available there seems to be no doubt that it is advisable to confine the selection of pasture crops to the glasses and clovers. “There is little uniformity at present as to the kinds of grasses and clovers used. Some pastures contain only a single grass and no clover, while oth ers have as many as seven or eight grasses and two or tb-ee clovers. The use of a single grass or several grasses without clover is considered inadvis able, largely because of low carrying capacity. The use ?f several grasses which have different habits of growth and different temperature requirements assures more neurlj continuous growth throughout the Season. For exam ple, some grasses will grow better dur ing coi l weather or in times of water shortage than other grasses which, on the other hand, may make rapid growth when the temperature is high or when water is abundant. “The two clovers most commonly used with the grasses are white and al sike, sometimes one and sometimes both being used. Difficulty occasion ally results from clover bloat where the clover has been seeded too heavily or where the conditions are especially favorable to its growth, as they are on some of the projects. Where the pas ture crops include several grasses and where not to exceed two pounds per acre of either clover seed is used, the danger of bloat is not likely to be se rious. In the selection of corps for irrigated pastures, provision should al ways be made for variety and high carrying capacity and this necessi tates the use of at least one clover and preferably more than one grass.” The bulletin then devotes several pages to pasture mixtures for various soils, method of seeding, irrigation, and management. DAIRY BULL’S VALUE SHOWN BY OFFSPRING Farmers Are Advised Not to Sell Sire Until His Daughters Have Been Tested. C. C. Hayden of the Ohio experiment station is authority for a statement that the dairy bull may be worth more than $3,000 in one year to a dairy herd. He shows that in the station herd one bull produced daughters averaging 153 pounds more butterfat than their dams. If ten daughters produced milk for six years, the total production of this sire would be worth $2,750 more than that of a bull that produced no increase, if butterfat is worth 30 cents a pound. Since the value of the bull can be determined ,only by the milk and but ter yields of his daughters, farmers are advised not to sell the dairy sire until his daughters have been tested. Buyers should not discriminate against an old bull if he has some high pro ducing daughters, for hi? value cannot be determined until he i« at least four years old. HOGGING OFF CORN QUITE ECONOMICAL Purdue Bulletin Outlines Advan tages of This Method—Rapid Gains Are Made. “The opinion that hogging off corn is a wasteful and shiftless practice has been more or less common among good farmers. Feeding tests conducts ed tinder average conditions, however, prove quite the opposite. Kapid and economical gains are made by the hogs and satisfactory cash returns received for the corn crop consumed,” is stated in extension bulletin No. 48, “Hogging Off Corn,” a most interest ing and valuable publication issued by the agricultural extension department of Purdue university. Leaves Are Best Part. He who leaves the leaves of .alfalfa or cowpeas on the ground has left the best part of the forage. Better turn over a new leaf. Surplus Mutton. Any surplus In lamb or mutton will find a ready sale among the nearby neighbors or in the nearby markets. Garden an Economy. A good garden should supply the family table during the growing sea- j son, fill the storeroom for the winter, and give ample material for canning by the cold-pack methods. Blanching Celery. Early celery is best blanched with paper or boards. It is more apt to decay if earth is used. Earth is best to blanch late celery. Tie Cauliflower Leaves. Keep the cauliflower leaves tied over the heads if you want clean, white, marketable heads. COULDN’T BREAK UP SYSTEM Johnson Preferred to Get Wet Rather Than Disturb the Routine He Had Established.

On the first tap of the twelve-o’clock bell he rises from fits desk, on the second tap he closes the lid, on the third he is donning his over coat and hat, and the twelfth stroke 'finds him on the sidewalk proceei Jng luneliward. The other day a friend observed fi in walking toward home in a hard liin from which he was entirely unpro fet ed by raincoat or umbrella. “Hey, Johnson!” cried the friend, “haven't you any umbrella?” “Yes, two of them,” was the reply. “Why in thunder don't you use one of them, then?” “Well, you see it’s this way: I’ve made it a rule to keep one umbrella at ; the office and one at home, so that I'd be sure always to have one at either end of the line when it rains. If I should take one now from the office to my home, they’d both be at my home, don’t you see, and that'd break up my system.” A GRATEFUL OLD LADY. Mrs. A. G.

Ordinary Nuxated Iron will often increase the strength and endurance of delicate, nervous folks 200 per cent in two weeks' time. SPECIAL NOTE.-Dr. E. Sauer, a well known physician who has studied widely in both this country and Europe, has been specially employed to make a thorough investigation into the real secret of the great strength, power and endurance of Jess Willard, and the marvelous value of nuxated iron as a strength builder. NEW YORK.—Upon being inter viewed at his apartment in the Colon ial Hotel, Mr. Willard said: “Yes, I hate a chemist with me to study the value of different foods and products as to their power to produce great strength and endurance, both of which are so necess ry in the prize ring. On his recomm idation I have often tak en nuxated '-on and I have particular ly advoeat •* the free use of iron by all those who wish to obtain great physical and mental power. Without it I am sure that I should never have been able to whip Jack Johnson so completely and easily as I did. and while training for my fight with Frank Moran I regularly took nuxated iron, and I am certain that it was a most important factor in my winning the fight so easily.” Continuing, I>r. Sauer said: “Mr. Willard's case is tnly one of hundreds which I could efte from my own personal experience which proves conclusively the astonishing power* of nuxated iron to restore strength and vitality even in most com plicated chronic conditions.” Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old, and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to fiDd him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man —in fact, a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age. The secret he said was taking iron—nuxated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 care worn and nearly all in. Now at 50 a miracle of vitality and his face beam ing with the buoyancy of youth. As I have said a hundred times over iron Is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only throw away pat ent medicines and nauseous - concoc tions and take simple nuxated iron, I am convinced that the lives of thous ands of persons might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver and heart trouble, etc. The real and true _* JESS WILLARD AT HOMB_ \ Among all the prominent figures ci the prize ring, probably none is so de voted to family lifo as Jess Willard. After each engagement the champion hurries to his wile and children and remains at their side until public de- [ I mand forces him to leave for new encounters. Everything is done to bring up the “little Willards" with strong healthy bodies Mr.’Willard accounts for his own success by saying:- “/ comider that plmty ofinnin * my blood is the secret of my great strength, power and endurance* ; cause which started their diseases was nothing more or less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. I—i **'-’*•* utuebSiiry w cu* able your blood to change food in to living tissue. Without it, no mat ter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you with out doing you any good. You don’t get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow la soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to .yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work, or how far you can walk without becom ing tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking Iron In the proper form. And this af ter they had in some cases been doc toring for months without obtaining any benefit But don’t take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and as similated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and en durance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone to Inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. —E. Sauer, M. D. NOTE—Nuxated Iron, recommended above by Dr. Sauer, is not a patent medi cine nor secret remedy, but one which la well known to druggists and whose Iron constituents are widely prescribed by emi nent physicians everywhere. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it Is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth.; make them black, nor upset the stomach? on the contrary, It is a most potent rem-' edy In nearly all forms of indigestion aa well as for nervous, rundown conditions. The manufacturers have such great con fidence In Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable Institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 300 per cent or over In four weeks’ time, provided they have no se rious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money If it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days time. It la dispensed by most druggists If your druggist or general store is without a supply ask them to get It for you.—Adv.
