The most favorable soil for borders g Is a loam several feet deep, underlain by a more or less Impervious subsoil. As tht sheet of water flows down eacli strip, the pervious top soli Is readily moistened and the heavier soil beneath prevents the waste of water by deep percolation. The cost of preparing land for the border method Is low as compared with that required for most other metnons If the physical conditions are favorable. At the same time it Is usually feasible to obtain a fair cif. at email cost by the use of temporary borders, and after the crop Is harvested, the making of permanent borders' may be undertaken without undoing much of the previous season's work. Slopes Are Essential. A smooth, regular surface having a slope In one direction of about 2.5 Inches to the hundred feet may be regarded as Ideal for the bonier method of Irrigation. It Is possible to make borders on slopes one Inch nr less to the hundred feet and on steeper slopes tip to 2 feet and more per hundred. Borders have been used on slopes ns rreat as 7V4 feel to the bundled feet, bnt extra enre must then be taken to prevent soil and crop erosion. The amount of wnter that can be turned Inlo the strip depends on the size of each strip, its slope, and other conditions. In narrow, short strips the head uned 'nay be reduced to half ' a cubic foot a second nr from 20 to 25 miners' Inches, and In wide, long trips 10 coble cet a second may he none too large. A .urge volume of wnter cannot be'handled successfully on steep slopes, but It is always possible to divide a head between two or more compartments.

C SEX OF DUCKS Hen Always Quacks In Coarse Voles, While Drake Will Emit Sibilant Sound. Throughout the Sick LEGION Method fatr.-Ktea- 000 hens were culled. That this culling was successful Is shown by the following figures : 19 birds were culled from a flock of 54, and in the next seven days the culls laid only 20 egg.s; ;?.X) birds were "culled from flock-- ; 840 and in the next seven days laid 20 eggs. Of the entire number of hens culled in Maine, the percentage g of egg production for the entire 3ck was 32.3, for the liens left nfter cub Ing 40.7 per cent, and for the culls 4.5 per cent. The number of poultry owners Instructed In Maine, was 3,043 and in Texas 8,000, many of whom afterward culled ttieir own Mocks. The es' I nutted savings represent only a part of the total value of this work. As a result of the demonstrations in one section In Maine. 79 iiercmns eliminated 1.4 JO birds an culls, while in Texas the culling that, resulted from nil demonstration was valued at $125,000.

The border method of Irrigation, followed in many parts of the western states, is well adapted to a variety of soils and crops and Is growing rapidly In public favor. As described In Farmers' Bulletin 1243, "The Border Method of Irrigation," prepared by Samuel Fortier and now issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, the method consists essentially In the division of the field to be Irrigated into a series of strips, lands. oV beds, as they are variously termed, by low, flat levees extending usually In the direction of the steepest slope. .Sufficient water is turned into the upper end of each strip and allowed to move down the slope in a thin sheet, moistening the soil to a given depth as It advances toward the lower end. Crops Suited for Irrigation. It seldom pays. It Is said, to prepare r fleid for the border method for one crop. The method is well adapted to the irrigation of alfalfa, clover and other forage crops, as well as nil grains, and the forage crops may be rotated with the grains without modifying the method. It is also possible to irrigate potatoes, sugar beets and other rowed and cultivated crops by making a slight change In the borders, so that the latitude as to rotation Is DS SICK AND WOUNDED MEN, Irs.
