" N Fdrk !ir 53 PMRI SNAKE BIVER VALLEY RICHEST FARMING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. A Complete System of Irrigation Re lieves the Anxiety About Rata That l'revalls ta Other Parts or the United States East aad West Compare!. We are permitted to publish an ex tract from a private letter written by a gentleman who has recently been devoting his time to the personal in vestigation of practical farming" by ir rigation in the vest. His vivid por trayal of the advantages of that sys tem will no doubt interest our readers. He says: "There is a vast, an immeasurable difference between farming in the east and farming in tha west. If the farm ers of the east could only be made to understand the advantages enjoyed by their western brethren, I verily believe there would soon be no laud for set tlement in the great irrigation states. The Irrigation farmer lias absolute certainty of crop, and certainty of i's perfect maturity. He never plants that he does not reap, and when I say reap I don't mean the reaping of scat tered stands of half matured grain such as the eastern farmer cuts at the close of a dry season; but the reap ing of fields that frequently average 50 bushels of wheat to the acre every grain of which has reached the perfec tion of development. There is no anxious scanning of the skies for the 'cloud no larger than a man's hand and fervent prayers that it may en velop the heavens and send down wa ter to the thirsty fields. The irriga tion farmer never thinks about rain. He watches his growing crops, and the day and the hour moisture is needed, he is out with his hoe flooding his fields with water from canals that skirt them. "Everything grows in the west that jrrows anywhere else in the United States north of Tennessee. Potatoes frequently yield 500 bushels to the acre, and barley is grown far better than any raised in the east. The fruits are delicious. I never saw any to compare with thoe grown in Idaho, where apples, peaches, plums, cherries, pears, apricots abound, and where there are thousands or acres of Italian and German prunes which I am told have made fortunes for their owners. "To my mind, Idaho is the best wa tered and most inviting arid state in the Union. I made a careful investiga tion of the great Snake River valley in that state, along and tributary to the Oregon Short Line Railroad, and saw there evidences of prosperity such cs I have never seen elsewhere in the United States. This wonderful valle7 is said to contain over 3,000,000 acres of arable land. It is threaded with great Irrigation canals in every direc tion, and there are vast tracts await ing only the touch of the farmer to make them productive. The sun doesn't shine on finer or more fertile land. When I saw the happy homes, the well filled granaries, the sleek, fat stock, and the smile on the face of nature reflected in a smile cf contentment on the faces of the farmeis. my heart went out in pity to the thousands in tha east who are struggling along from year to year, toiling against athc.se climatic conditions, and never know ing how soon a drouth will wipe out the profits of prosperous years. "Lands can be had in ibis Snake River valley almost for the asking, but they are going, day by day. The Oregon Short Line is making extra ordinary efforts to bring the advan tages of Idaho to the notice of eastern farmers, and is flooding the country with conservatively written descriptions of the state. Write to the General Pas senger Agent of this Railroad at Salt Lake for printed matter about Idaho, and read it carcfuliy. It will be a revelation to you and I sincerely be lieve will end in your lemoval to tha west." Use Magnetic Starch it lias no equal. C. P. It. Immigration Literature. The Canadian Pacific Railway Com pany has just issued two excellent im-n-igration pamphlPls for IflOO "West ern Canada" and "British Columbia." which contain a great deal of useful and accurate information about the country west of Lake Superior, and are of special interest to those who j contemplate settling either in the Canadian Northwest or British Coluui- bia. Large editions of these pamphlets I are distributed gratuitously in Great , Britain and the United States, as well J as throughout the Dominion, and are j eagerly read by those who are seeking a new home and desire to know some thing cf the best country in the world in which to find one.

Wisconsin Ilorticaltarat Convention. Condensed from Farmers Review Stenosrapliic Report The Wisconsin State Horticultural Society held its annual meeting In Madison Feb. 5 to S. The attendance was fair. The program was wellfoi owed and much matter of interest was discussed. The session aevored to the nursery business was taken up large ly with brisk discussion on the tree peddlers. There are among paddlers honest men representing reliable nur series, but theie are, on the olbe? hand, many unscrupulous men who do not stop at anything to gain their ends. The tree-peddling business offers many nducements to dishonesty, as a man 4a sell the most worthless of stuff and o for years without being found out ne only way to prevent the frauda complained of seems to be scattering information more fully among the peo e. The English-speaking farmers, or it least the Egglish-reading farmers, aave become so wary that they are no longer easily caught; but the foreign bred farmers are being caught right along, and for them there seems to be no hope of escape they are paying the price of ignorance. One session was devoted to the dis cussion of the culture of small fruit. Papers were read by M. S. Kellogg, J. L. Herbst, Frank Stark, Frederick Cranefield, A. J. Edwards and S. H. Marshall. An extended discussion fol lowed these papers, and this will ap pear later in the Farmers' Review. The forestry session was one of un usual interest The subject was opened by 13. S. Hoxie, president of the State Forestry Association. He reviewed tho attempt to get a bill passed by the state legislature looking to the begin ning of the work for the recovery of our forest domains, and pointed out what other states are doing in this mat ter. He said that New York had pur chased an immense area of land in the Adirondacks at a cost of only ?1 per acre, and that now is the time for Wis consin to take steps to purchase forest lands, since they can now be obtained at a small price; vrhile twenty-five years from now the cost is likely to be nuch greater. S. M. Owens of Minnesota delivered a very instructive address on the for estry of the Old World. He contrasted .vfcat is being done there with what is being done here. He showed how Ger many, France, Austria-Hungary and Switzerland are conserving their for ests with the result that they can cut a large amount annually without de creasing the main source of their sup plies. Switzerland has made immense strides in the matter of the preserva tion of her forests, which are owned very largely by the public. There the public-owned forests are much better .cept and handled than are the forests that are owned by private persons. To oieserve American forests and to re store them it Is but necessary that a sensible system of cutting off be em ployed. Ernest Bruncken, secretary of the Wisconsin State Forestry Association, read an interesting paper on forestry legislation. He said that the greatest obstacle to obtaining forestry legisla tion is the popular misunderstanding of the term "forestry," which is as sumed to include our parks and shade tree systems. Forestry relates ex clusively to the management of trees in great masses. He said that our lands can become reforested by simply cutting off the trees and removing the rubbish to prevent fires; that nature will do the planting; but that where the ground has been eaten up by for est fires it will not be in a condition to bear trees for generations. A session was devoted to orchard trees, and papers were read by E. S. Goff, Martin Penning, A. J. Phillips, G. J. Kellogg and one was sent by O. M. Lord. Three of these papers treat ed of plums. The Japanese plums were condemned as being utterly unlit for use in Wisconsin. It was the belief of the convention that our hope lies in the native plums. G. J. Kellogg's paper was on lop-grafting. It will ap pear later in the Farmers Review. A. L. Hatch spoke on what we can do to make trees bear fruit He be lieves th.1 we must cultivate and feed our trees if we expect results, just as much a3 we have to feed our animals for results. Frank Yahnke spoke on the growing of vegetables for market He said that the man that makes vegetable grow ing his business must grow all kinds and put them on the market in the best shape. He must not try to grow all kinds of vegetables on the same kind of soil, but must give to each vegetable the kind of soil it requires. One session was devoted to the me morial addresses on J. C. Plumb, F. W. Loudon, M. A. Thayer and Peter Gideon. Wm. Toole spoke on what to plant to beautify our school grounds. This address vill appear later in the Farm ers' Review, as will other talks and discussions that enlivened the meet ing. The election of officers resulted in the following choice: President, Franklin Johnson; vice-president, T. E. Loope; secretary, J. L. Herbst; treasurer, R. J. Coe; member of trial orchard committee, L. G. Kellogg. The discussion on place of holding the next annual meeting did not result in definitely fixing the place, but tho expreesions were -strongly in favor or Oshkosh. Yellow Clover Seed. A German professor Menke once made some experiments to ascertain if there is any difference in the germi nating power of the differently colored clover seeds. He picked out the yel low, green, brown, light brown, dark brown and black seeds and planted them by themselves. They were care fully watched and all were treat .! to identical conditions. Very few of the green seeds developed enough to form cotelydons. and they were very weak. Practically all of the yellow seeds de veloped and formed strong plants. The light brown also did well, but did not give so good returns as the yellow seeds. In the first place the number of seeds that germinated was less than with the yellow, and the plants were not so thrifty. The brown and dark brown and black seeds were of value only according as they approached the lighter shade, and the darker ones were practically cf no value. We do not know that any like' experiment has been carried out here, but it is one that is easily carried through. We do not know that the above experiment was repeated enough times, to make it valuable "as an indicator. If it can be used as an index at all, it teaches that .the seed that contains the most yellow grains Is best Langshans were Introduced into England from China in 1872. Italian Ryo Grass. This grass is known scientifically as Lollum Italicum and L. Perenne. A government report says: These are among the oldest cultivated grasses, and are probably grown more widely than any others in Europe. They have been used largely in the Northern states, where they are often satisfac tory, but In the South they have not done well except In a few especially favorable locations. They succsed best on a rich, moist, sandy soil containing a fair amount of lime, and on such soils are fairly permanent, but en dry, thin soils and heavy clays they soon disappear. They will cover ti ground sooner and make a better sward in a few weeks after planting than cost other grasses, and era valuable wlicre quick resuits are wanted auu for cov ering the ground while ctacr anG stare permanent sorts, like reatcp nT.il or chard grass, are beco-'.ns establlsusd. When sown alone on ilch sslle t'aal? growth is so rank that ths "3"-l Is scon covered with a dcnD rca. o; otz leaves, which make the best of gr-z.nu or hay, but i allowed to brccaa tso dense will die and decay ::ier iisTV rains. While excellent rcr raisins wuh other gras-ses for both pa?t;;rs3 and meadows, thty cannot be recoaundeu for sowing alone. The vcosl common varieties are the Italian, Pacey's und the perennial rye craiaei. 'fiic per- ennial, or English rye grass, is the longer lived and so the best for per manent pastures. The Italian rye grass makes a ranker growth and cov ers the ground more quickly. Seed may be sown in either fall or spring, and from two to three bushels per -acre are required when sown alone, or one bushel when sown with other grasses. Utilize Alt Manure. Of every 1.0C0 bushels of corn fed to stosk 800 goes into the manure pile. That is, only about 20 per cent of the whole is utilized by the digestive sys tem of the animal. The provident farmer will, therefore, see to it that this large per cent of his corn crop is returned to the land. Another fact that should be considered in connec tion with this one is that a very large part of the nutrient is contained In the liquid manure. The practice therefore of hauling out the manure often is to be commended. In the ordinary barnyard there is no possibility of conserving all the ma nure if the pile is allowed to grow un molested from fall till spring. The reason is plain. Every barnyard to be serviceable must be well-drained, and this means that there is provision for carrying off the surplus water or liquid. The manure is frequently drenched and suffers most from the spring rains. Not only is all the liquid manure carried away, but the solid manure has much of its virtue washed out of it Experiments have shown that the loss is often half of the total manure. Let a man consider that this means say 400 bushels of corn for every 800 bushels he should have put back on his land, and he may begin to consider the feasibility and the necessity of taking the best of care of this indi rect wealth. A very few farmers have tanks and reservoirs under their barns for the conservation of both the liquid and solid manure, but by far the great er number of farmers have no such arrangements, and, what is more, never will have such. The only plan that stands any chance of being uni versally adopted is that of hauling out the manure often through the winter ar?I having it dumped in small piles where the rains can wash It into the ground at will, the residue being scat hed over the ground 3S soon as the ireather permits in the spring. We leel certain that if the plan of haul ing out the manure often through the winter were adopted it would mean millions of dollars annually in the pockets of American fanners. Selecting Breeding Turkeys. I have met with best success with pullets of from sixteen to twenty pounds, and old hens from eighteen to twenty-three pounds. They lay eggs that are larger and more fertile than do the bigger hens. They are also more active and healthj-, and make better mothers. The torn, I believe, has more influence on the shape and color of offspring than the female. He should be as near perfection in shape and color of plum age as can be found, and of medium size. Breeders ought net to try to get "the biggest torn, in America." The male should be of medium height, but cf large bone, with big feet and legs and good-sized frame. If the breast is not filled out while he is young, he will be all right when matured. In fact, he will grow into a larger bird than if he is nice and plump at the beginning of the season witho-it the other fea tures. S. B. Johnston, in American luitry Journal. When fowls are to be transported from one place to another, care should be taken that the cages or coops be so protected by cloth or otherwise that the birds will not be exposed to all the icy winds that blow. It is no unusual sight in Chicago to see a coop of fowl3 exposed to weather far be low zero, and that, too, with high wind. Birds so treated are about sure to get bad colds, which make them an easy prey to the roup. We under stand that even show birds are jften exposed to like conditions. This prob ably accounts for the number of birds with colds that arc noticed at winter exhibits of poultry. To Remoye Ink Stains from Marble. Make a paste of chloride of lime and water.

Kcrstcn, a well-known .Justice of the IVace, of Chicago, .says: "f was afflicted with Catarrh for nine years. My catarrh was located chiefly in my head. I tried many remedies .without avail.' I applied to several doctors, but they were not able to cure me. I . learned of the remedy, Peruna, through the daily newspapers. After taking the remedy for 18 weeks I was entirely cured. I consider my cure permanent, as it has been two and a half years since I was cured. " Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal: almost omnipresent. Pcrnna is the only ab solute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. IVruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it.

One Night Treatment Soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot, creamy lather of CUTICURA SOAP. Dry, and anoint freely with CUTICURA, the great skin cure and purest of emollients. Wear, during the night, old, loose kid gloves, with the finger ends cut off and air holes cut in the palms. For red, rough, chapped hands, dry, fissured, itching, feverish palms, with shapeless nails and painful finger ends, this treatment is simply wonderful, and points to a speedy cure of the most distress ing cases when physicians and all else fail. Sore Hands 8 Years Cured. Pain So Intense Would Nearly Twist Fingers From Socket5. Hands Puffed Up Like a Toad. Water Ran Through Bandages to Floor. Had to Walk the Floor Until Would Fall Asleep. Fingers Would Peel Like an Onion. Doctors Could Not Cure. Eight roars ago 1 got aore h.ntid, caintni'iiciiig with a burning sensation on my finger and on top of the hand. When I ruMted them, you could fee little white pimples. I Mt like twisting my finger? out of their socket. I had high fever, and cold chili' ran over me," and ?o f kept it going until I was tired out. Night?, I had to walk th lloor until I fell asleep. M y hands peeled like an onion, the finger naiN got loose, and the water ran out, and wherever there was a little pimple tin-re the hurniug tire was that happened sit leat ten times. I am running a blacksmith shop, horse shoeing, anil 1 would not shut up the shop for anybody, but it u:is haid. My hands puffed tip worse than a toad. When 1 drove horse nails, the water from my hands ran through the bandage, oa to the floor. .My eur tonvr9 refused to look at my hand. I had a friend take me to the doctor; he gav3 a .solution of something to bathe my hands. I went, to another doctor, I think, for a year. I found your advertisement in a I'tica news paper, and I got the frTicriiA remedies. As soon as I ns,.(l them I began to gain, and after using a small quantity of them I was entirely cured. I would not take fifty dollars for a cake of Ct"TiCfi: So p if I could not grt anv more. I would not differ :inr more as I did. for the whole count. Feb. 22. 1S3S.
