Telenhone Main Advertise right and it will pay you Gazette advertising isright advertising Plow Under the Legumes and Make Nitrogen Should the small ranchman be growing garden truck or potatoes, in no way can he so cheaply or so effectively fit his land for growing good crops of these as by burying every few seasons a crop of clover or alfalfa in the soil. In some instances the results will be as good should the alfalfa or clover crop be first reaped and the land then plowed. Such a rotation is peculiarly adapted to the needs of the potato crop. The frequency with which the alfalfa crop should thus be grown when grown as a rotation crop will depend upon such conditions as the needs of the soil and variety in the crops wanted. The rule is a safe one that would not grow more than two or three crops of small grain between the alfalfa crops. The age at which alfalfa thus used as a rotation crop should be broken will depend upon soil conditions and the ease or difficulty found in plowing the land. With soils of great natural richness and so easily tilled as nearly all irrigable lands are in the West, and with opportunities so complete for supplying his lands with nitrogen and humus, and with good and widening markets for his crops, why should not the western ranchman be prosperous and happy? Why should he not be able to maintain fertility in his lands and increase their producing power, handing them down to his family a legacy of great value? He has the choice of better advantage, from any standpoint, than when perched on the graceful wheel with a pole which reached the ground prevent a fall, he patiently lightly tripped along as they revolved beneath his feet.

The rice season the streams are luted and the water carries ion, making dysentery and diarrhea endemic as well as epidemic. The finest irrigation system have ever seen taps a lake all size of Tahoe, Lake Biwa, sheet of water 14 by 40 miles hills above Kioto, carrying under a mountain by means tunnel over 8000 feet in length the valley beyond. At the iron gates 36 feet high are stone work of massive scale with a similar set of gates below. Two intakes are built 25 feet wide, with duplicate these big iron gates. They are separated by a massive wall, but they come together yards below the lower gate make a stream 25 feet wide feet deep, running four or five an hour. The canal is water with blocks or cement.

Why should he not be able to maintain fertility in his lands and increase their producing power, handing them down to his family a legacy of great value? He has the choice of doing this or of so robbing them that in time they will fail to grow paying crops. It rests with him to say which he will do. HUGE TASK It was a huge task to undertake the cure of such a bad case of kidney disease as that of C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, Ia., but Electric Bitters did it. He writes: "My kidneys were so far gone, I could not sit on a chair without a cushion; and I suffered from dreadful backache, headache and depression. In Electric Bitters, however, I found a cure, and by them was resored to perfect health. I recommend this great tonic medicine to all with weak kidneys liver or stomach." Guaranteed by W. B.

Fulton, Reno, Nevada] I have been an optimist in all that concerns Nevada since first I crossed her border, but I never realized the magnificent possibilities of my adopted state until I visited Japan and other countries where land hunger has become chronic, and saw what man's ingenuity could make of tiny bits of ground when his stomach was empty and there was no other way to fill it. The area of the Japanese Empire is almost exactly the same as that of the state of California, and yet upon this small space she subsists nearly fifty million of the happiest and most contented people on earth. But this is not all. The whole region is of volcanic origin and comparatively new, geologically speaking, so that only one acre in eight can be cultivated. Even this restricted area is not very productive in quality. The soil has never been RO Baking Save The use of H essential to t family food the state of California, and yet upon this small space she subsists nearly fifty million of the happiest and most contented people on earth. But this is not all. The whole region is of volcanic origin and comparatively new, geologically speaking, so that only one scree in eight can be cultivated. Even this restricted area is not very productive in quality. The soil has never been ground to dust and fertilized by glacial action, as have the rolling hills and rich prairies of our own country. A narrow fringe along the shores of most of the islands is nearly enough on a level to be cultivated, while steep, high mountains fill the interior. Unlike our elevated ranges these do not produce nutritious grasses, and generally but poor timber. In order to support so large a population upon so limited an area of land, the most intense husbandry is practiced. Extensive systems of irrigation are necessary for rice cultivation, although some hill rice of a fine quality is produced, and far up in the mountain valleys the streams are diverted to the terraced paddy fields and the water is never released until it reaches sea level, and sometimes not then. It flows down from one to another terrace until it reaches the planic, where the noria, or Persian water wheel is a good deal used to overcome slight differences in levels. Nowhere in all Japan did we see the native to Advantage, from an artistic point, than when perched up peacefully wheel with a long reach reached the ground to fall, he patiently and stepped along as the wheel beneath his feet. He was unnaked to the waist, both his trim and airy figure lay in the classics for any reason. The blades of the wheel box, and as it revolved he lifted a couple of gallons at a time and sent it flow—a new direction. During season the streams are pollinated by water carries contagious dysentery and diphtheria as well as epidemic. Best irrigation system I seen taps a lake about the shoe, Lake Biwa, a fine water 14 by 40 miles, in the Kioto, carrying water mountain by means of a river 8000 feet in length, to beyond. At the outlet 36 feet high are set in rock of massive strength, similar set of gates 60 feet two intakes are built, each made, with duplicate sets of iron gates. The intakes heated by a massive stone they come together a few few the lower gates and steam 25 feet wide and 25 running four or five miles. The canal is walled in bricks or cement. Boats ply down at intervals and we yen to make the trip, most interesting. Three ships were shot, and it was a test to see a boat push forth nowhere, as its crew ages over twenty-eight bushels to the acre as against fifteen and a half in India and thirteen in the United States. The annual crop is about two hundred million bushels a year, of which about one-eighth is exported. Cereals are absolutely grown by hand; each grain being dropped in a hole made by the finger, liquid manure is poured over it with a dipper and the earth pressed down with the hands. When the barley is receiving the last cultivation in May, beans are planted between the rows, and so three crops are made to grow on the same ground during the year. At this time the rice plant is showing green in the seed beds and by the middle of June it is transplanted in hills about five inches apart, with rows eight inches from each other. The sweet potato was introduced about 200 years ago and is now the chief food in many of the islands. Fish is a staple diet, and without their use it would be impossible for the Empire to sustain anything like its present population. Compared with the Orient our own country is indeed a happy one, but the man who seeks a home in the new states might well take a few lessons from the Japanese farmer; in his cheerfulness, his industry and his sobriety, in his happy faculty of developing his resources to the uttermost, he leads the world. They drink liquor there, but we saw only one drunken man in all Japan. We have a better soil, a more healthful climate, a much more comfortable manner of living, and we should have the happiest homes on earth.
