2 HE IRRIGA1ION AGE. 



I in Paris" and "Her Boston Experiences' 

 are concluded. Howard Chandler Christy 

 contributes the first of his American Girl 

 series of drawings, showing her at church 

 and A. B. Frost humorously pictures "The 

 Country Store as a Social Centre." An 

 Easter solo and an anthem are timely; and 

 the numerous articles on fashions in 

 woman's wear will be a useful guide just at 

 this time. This is but a hasty glance be- 

 tween the covers of the March journal. 



THE FORUM. 



The Forum for March contains its usual 

 array of timely and interesting articles. 

 No dull contribution graces its pages. 

 Among the twelve papers to be found in 

 this number are "Government Deposits in 

 Banks," by George E. Roberts, director of 

 the United States Mint. Mr. Henry 0. 

 Dwight discusses "Our Mohammedan 

 Wards;" George F. Becker, United States 

 Geologist, protrays "Rights and Wrongs 

 in South Africa;" F. Cunliffe-Owen writes 



entertainingly of "Englishmen in the 

 United States;" William Ordway Partridge, 

 the celebrated sculptor-author, contributes 

 an article on "The True Relation of 

 Sculpture to Architecture;" Ho Yow, 

 Chinese Consul-General to the United 

 States, gives his views concerning "Westt 

 ern Benefits Through China's Develop- 

 ment;" and Prof. W. P. Trent furnishes a 

 review of "Mr. Stephen Phillip's Play." 



THE DELINEATOR. 



The April number of the Delineator will 

 contain an article by Grace Teckham 

 Murray dealing with the Sick Child. 

 "Th-3 Patriotic work of Southern Women" 

 by Maldon Fawcett, is an illustrated arti 

 cle in the some magazine, and the las 

 article by Cornelia Atwood Pratt regard- 

 ing The Young Girl is a wise and careful 

 discussion of that interesting period in a 

 young girl's life when she becomes con- 

 scious that the company of a young man is 

 at times more interesting to her than the 

 company of her sister. 



CULTIVATION 



is now an indispensable part of all good 

 irrigation. But cultivation is stirring, 

 not turning over, of the soil. Turning the 

 soil turns weeds under to form air spaces 

 to dry out and throws damp ground to the 

 surface to dry out. 



Cultivation must also be deep, no weed 

 cutter can run deep enough. Deep stir- 

 ring is also necessary in many soils to 

 keep a hard pan from forming at the bottom of the plow's path. 



The Killefer Cultivator has been specially made to meet the case and has given 

 the greatest satisfaction in California where people have had the most experience 

 and are very particular. 



Extra teeth go with it so that it can be quickly changed into a weed cutter when 

 needed, also into a furrower. But if used enough it will never be needed except as 

 a stirrer. It is also all the plow needed for most loose soils, such as those of the 

 desert. 



It cuts from five to nine feet with from thirteen to thirty-seven teeth as desired. 

 The tongue guides the castor wheel without draft so that the machine can run 

 much nearer to the tree without danger or strain on the horses than any other. 



Fine teeth, plenty of .them, running deeply and evenly, readily raised or 

 lowered, and quickly changed to any form, are absolutely essential for orchard work. 

 These you get in the Killifer Cultivator, with the easiest draft on the team, and the 

 easiest guiding principle.
