ever materlalH, the box should bo
from twelve to eighteen Inches square,
according fo tho size of tho main tile,
The best tJme to build the box Is when
tho main Is laid. Two sides of the
box, namely optMHlto sides, will be
used for the main line, tho other two
sides when tho box Is built should be
lltted with tho flrHt tile of the Interals,
which may bo Immediately or at some

or Ikix should extend six to twelve
Inches below tho lino of the drain, and

the box may be continued to the

in tho way, it may be covered with

ground surface and then covered over
with soli the position of tho box be
ing carefully mnrked on the drain map
or its distance measured from two

an excellent device to use where two

bo carefully fitted lu so as to allow
nothing to enter tho box except what
goes there through tho tile.
If tho main drain Is to bo built of
plank, It certainly would bo better to
eplko tho plank, for two reasons: First,
to provent displacement, and secondly,
to provent entrance of solid matter, it
has been found that the Joints of the
box will nfford sulllclent means of In
gress for tho water even If tho planks
nro spiked, and If thoy nro not spiked

Strong chemical fertilizers should
not bo given too lavishly to growing
plants. Nltruto of soda Is good as u
Bourco of nitrogen, but you can not
grow n plant in pure nltrato of soda,
acid phosphato and other actual food
substitutes; not even If thoy nro mixed
with tho most consummate skill. Look
at a clay soil ; It Is generally regarded
n8 a protty poor ono for growing plants,
but It hau tnoro actuul units of food

can take, and It Is Improved by throw

economy to work tho smaller farm and
plneo tho residue of his capital at In

have become established branches of
agriculture. Tho farmer raises his
own supplies of fruit and vegetables,
but the multitude of residents of cit
ies depend on tho professional fruit
grower and market gardener for their
supplies of fruit and vegetables. Small
farms nro multiplying annually and
become profitable investments when
operated to truck gardening und fruit
growing. An aero of onions In nver

of $00 to $700 and fruit will average

Bulletin No. 02.
i Br EHoj Nelaon, Irrlffntlontit.
' In tno western part of Noz Tercel
county and throughout southern Idaho
tho procipitation is smnll and nrid
conditions thero prevail.. Farming
without irrigation in those portions of
the itnto may thoroforo be termed dry
farming.
In Idaho dry farming has boon quito
successful with 12 inches of annual pre
cipitation. It is practiced in eastern
Oregon oven with but 0 to 10" inches.
Tho average annual precipitation for
southern Idaho is 12.05 inches. Dry
farming should bo successful in Idaho
on all soils that are 4 to 0 fect deep
and sultablo in other respects provided
proper methods of cultivation aro pur
sued. j Dry farming has been practiced sue
ccssfully on various soils ranging from
heavy clay to sandy. Tho depth of tho
soil is of inoro importance than the
kind. Tho nverago soil in southern
Idaho is capable of absorbing 3 inches
of wator for each foot of depth. Of
this amount 2 inches is available water
and may bo used by crops. The re
mainder is not given up by the soil. To
absorb 12 inches of rain and hold it as
available molsturo requires 0 feet of
soil. Whilo a deep soil is a great ad
vantage, dry farming has been success
ful on soils of lessor depth than that.
Tho equivalent of an inch of rain stored
in tho soil is capable of producing 2V,
j bushels of wheat per acre if it be
utilized.
With good methods it should bo pos
sible to eonsarvo at least one-half of
tho precipitation to do duty in crop
production. In actual practice not
much more than ono-fourth is generally
utilized, the three-fourths being lost by
surfaco evaporation or by run-off.
Tho amount of moisture that is ab
sorbed by tho soil and retained vory
largely determines the yield. Deep
percolation is therefore to be desired
and surfaco cultivation to prevent un
necessary losses by evaporation should
be practiced. Deep plowing favors tho
storage of water in tho soil. Maintain
ing a dust mulch over the surface tends
to consorvo that which the soil has
absorbed. It is important to preservo
tbii dust blanket over fields by har
rowing and especially on tho summer
fallow should this bo done. That will
prevent the soil below tho mulch from
drying out. Leaving tho summer fal
low lio rough during summer allows fho
soil to dry out. With such practices
there is a large loss of moisture and no
particular gain in fertility for tho elab
oration of plant food docB not take
place in a dry soil.
Summer fallowing alternate years is
rocommended for all localities with less
than 15 inches of annual precipitation.
Where there is moro than that it is gen
erally possible to grow a crop every
year. Growing a cultivated crop every
other year is more 'profitable than a
single crop system. For every year
cropping tno plowing should be in the
fall. For the bare summer fallow tho
plowing may be either in the spring or
in the fall. The former has boen most
successful in tho Columbia bnsin up
lands, the latter has proven the better
lystcm in Utah. -
With fall plowing the soil settles dur
ing winter and good capillary connec
tion with subsoil is thus ensured,
with spring plowing the lower part of
tho furrow slice doeB not be'eomo firm
enough. Packing to closo up tho air
Bpaces is thcreforo an advantage.
Either tho sub-surface packer or tho
corrugated roller may be used for that
purpose. Packing in connection with
spring plowing is recommendod for tho
lighter soils in Idaho.
Rotation of crops in dry fnrming
should bo practiced nt least in tho moro
favorable localities as tho fertility of
tho land is then maintained. Whilo
continuous whent growing for several
decades in some districts hns not ex
hausted tho soil, thero cannot be much
dependence upon tho permanency of
suoh a system.
Wintor wheat generally yields 4 to S
bushels more per aero than spring va
rieties. Tho most promising winter
whent for southern Idaho nro Turkey
Tied, Forty-foh Gold Coin, Lofthouso
and Odessn. The best spring varieties
nro Kubanka Durum. Blue Stem, Little
Club, Hed Chaff and Souora.
Othor coreals havo been successful
on dry land, such ns Sixty Days, Khor
son nnd Big Four oats nnd Smooth
Hullors barley nnd rye. Potatoes havo
beon quito successful without irriga
tion. Early varieties, such as Early
Ohio and Six Weeks, are tho host. Al
falfa is vory drouth-resisting and may
bo sown on tho nrid farm. In favor
able localities it may give two cuttings
whilo tho loss fnvorablo but one.
In some localities in southern Idaho
the profitableness of dry farming is no
matter of doubt, for from 25 to 35
bushels of whost per aero nre produced.
Whero yields nro smnll tho cost of pro
duction must bo grontly reduced to give
a margin of profit nnd operations must
be on a considerable scale. Each man
should handlo from 200 to 300 ncres.
By moans of co operation among farm
ers traction engines may be employed
and these generally roduco oxpenses
one-half. Whore tho farmer uses his
own tools and teams the actual cost of
producing wheat will rango from $3 to
$4 por aero. At contract prices It
would be from $5 to $7.

CURES
Sim DISEASES
When the blood Js'pure and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth, and
free from all blemishes and eruptions; but when some acid humor takes
root in the circulation, its presence is quickly manifested by some form of
skin disease. The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength
from tbe blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden
stream, itcan no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin,
but by its nrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate
! tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition.
External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial
only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping the parts
clean, To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors
that arc causing the trouble. S, S. S. drives out the humors from the blood
so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a
healthy, cooling stream. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and
removes every parti le of impure matter, all acids and humors, and restores
the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skin
disease or affection. Book on skin diseases and any medical advice free to
