 teen noteworthy articles, contains the fol- 

 lowing: "The New Financial Law," by 

 Frank A. Vanderlip, Assistant Secretary 

 of the Treasury; "The Puerto Rican Re- 

 lief Bill," by Congressman Albert J. Hop-

THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL. 

 Mrs. Rorer's solution of the servant- 

 girl problem will be presented in the May 

 Ladies Home Journal. She will tell 

 "How to Treat and Keep a Servant," fix- 

 ing the responsibility for the unsatisfac- 

 tory domestic service that makes house- 

 keeping such a hardship today. It is Mrs. 

 Rorer's contention, and she thoroughly 

 maintains her point, that it is no more 

 difficult to secure efficient employes in the 

 home than it is for any other kind of work. 

 But the point of view of mistress and maid 

 must be materially changed first. 



THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. 



The Saturday Evening Post has made 

 arrangements for the publication of a biog- 

 raphy which will interest the great num- 

 ber of people to whom Moody was known, 

 t being the life of the renowned preacher 

 written by his son. The first paper, en- 

 titled "Moody as a Boy and Business 

 Man," appeared in the Post of April 7. 



CULTIVATION 



is now an indispensable part of all good 

 irrigation. But cultivation is stirring 1 , 

 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 

 surfaee 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 Kiliefer 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 furmwer. 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.
