Artesian Wells on The Plains.

Vast areas of our Western country,
not only in the plateau between the
Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Noun
tains, but east of the latter range, have
never been available for agricultural
purposes on account of the lack of water.
The soil is good enough, and with irri-
CATION the desert would blossom as the
rose; but the water for irrigation was
not available. Commissioner Horace
Beach has been appointed by the Bureau
of Agriculture to go West and superin-
tend experiments in procuring water by
means of artesian wells. Mr.. Beach is a
practical artesian well operator, for
tunately, so his superintendent will
probably accomplish definite result.
Senator Hill, of Colorado, was the
originator of the scheme. After hard
work he succeeded in 1879 in getting an
artesian well bill passed in Congress,
and an appropriation of S30, 900 to carry
on the work. The practical part was
intrusted TO Commissioner LeDuc, and
under his management the appropria-
ton was exhausted when the first well
was down only 500 feet. Competent
judges have since estimated that Le-
Dues well could have been sunk for
1900. Such result put temporary
quietus on the subject, but Senator Hill
has now succeeded in obtaining another
appropriation of $4,000 for the sinking
Of two wells The sites of these have
been determined. One will be at Akron,

Arteslan Wells on the Plains.

Vast areas of our Western country,
not only in the plateau between the
Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Noun
tains, but east of the latter range, have
never been available for agricultural
purposes on account of the lack of water.
The soil is good enough, and with irri-
CATION the desert would blossom as the
rose; but the water for irrigation was
not available. Commissioner Horace
Beach has been appointed by the Bureau
of Agriculture to go West and superin-
tend experiments in procuring water by
means of artesian wells. Mr.. Beach is a
practical artesian well operator, for
tunately, so his superintendency will
probably accomplish definite result.
Senator Hill, of Colorado, was the
originator of the scheme. After hard
work he succeeded in 1879 in getting an
artesian well bill passed in Congress,
and an appropriation of $780, 900 to carry
on the work. The practical part was
intrusted to Commissioner LeDuc, and
under his management the appropria-
ton was exhausted when the first well
was down only 800 feet. Competent
judges have since estimated that Le-
Dues well could have been sunk for
$1,000. Such a result put temporary
quietus on the subject, but Senator Hill
has now succeeded in obtaining another
appropriation of $4,000 for the sinking
of two wells. The sites of these have
been determined. One will be at Akron,
Colo, 112 miles from Denver, on the
Chicago, burlington & Quincy Road.
The other will probably be at Kit Car
son, south of Akron, on the Kansas
Pacific Road. Mr.. Beach is confident of
striking water in the first well before
snow flies.
In case of the success of these expert
ments, great results will follow. 1rri-
CATION can be carried on for miles by
means of the water flowing from the
well. Other wells may be sunk. The
face of the whole region round about
will be entirely changed. Prosperous
farms and communities will spring up
in territory now uninhabitable, and
barren and desolate lands will be con-
verted into a populous agricultural
district. The railway authorities will,
of course, further the project by every
means in their power, as it will open up
for settlement on their. lines q large
extent of land now useless.
There seems to be no good reason
why water should not be struck, if the
boring is carried on in business like
way by practical man. If he succeeds,
MIR. Beach will perform valuable SER
vice to the country.-N. Y. Express.

A Partisan Ant Merchant.

M. Griscon, in "The Dark Corners of
Paris" gives the following description
of an ant merchant, a young woman
named Blanche: "Her face and hands
are tanned as though they had been
prepared by some skillful tanner; she is
clothed in buffalo skin, and in spite of
this armor she is devoured by her stock
in trade. But her skin has become so
hardened and insensible, from long
practice, that she can sleep surrounded
with sacks full of her merchandise un-
disturbed by their singing. Mademoi-
selle Blanche has negotiants in the de-
partments where there are extensive
forests; she pays her employees two
francs day. Her business extends
even as far as Germany. She never
receives less shan ten sacks (miller's
sacks) of ants daily. The ants lay eggs,
and these are sold for feeding pleas
ants. At the present moment MAIDEN.

There are q great many farms and
fields which can never be cultivated at
profit. These if planted with forest
trees, such as chestnut, oaks of different
varieties, pines and larches, would pro.
duce growth of timber which would
be source of profit, and then the ener-
gies of the farmer might be concentrat-
ed upon his best land. and his manure
could be applied where it would do the
most good,-M Y. HeraId.
The age of sheep up to four years
old is readily ascertained from the
mouth. They put up two large teeth
in the center of the lower jaw, casting
two sucking teeth at about twelve
months old. They put up two more
large teeth each of the next three years,
making at four years old full mouth OF
eight large teeth. These soon become
gappy and worn. especially when sheep
are fed on whole roots.
Most of the preventable losses in
farming come from attempting to do
too much, or rather from working with
insufficient capital. The rule that what
ever is worth doing at all is worth do
ing well is especially applicable to the
operations of the farm. Ii the farmer
lacks cash or labor sufficient to Guilt
vate 100 acres in the best manner, let
him limit his operations to fifty, and if
that still refuses to yield a profit he can
experiment with thirty, or even twenty
acres. America CuLtiUat0r.

What is S0ilings

The soiling system is that by which
stock of various kinds are excluded from
pasture fields, and the food prepared
and fed to them regularly. The sOiling
system is always associated with what is
known as ''high farming" which has
for its rule 1.-THE largest return from the
smallest available space" and tits to
this point we are journeying on our road
to perfection in agriculture. 1t is a
system. however, that demands extra
labor and close attention, and one that
entails great expense. 1t calls for con-
slant examination of the condition of
stock in order to prevent injury to them
from confinement; but usually cattle
seem to thrive well under the soiling
system wherever practiced AS none
but the most progressive farmers have
ventured on the plan, it is safe to say
that success is due more to good iudg-
ment and care than to the system itself.
so far as the health of the animals is
concerned, but that it is the only true
way of keeping farms in high state of
fertility cannot be denied. But few
fences are required in soiling. This is
a source of considerable saving. The
food can be OF a variable character. and
1t undergoes careful preparation, in ac-
cordance with the capacity of the ami
mai, and whether the desire of the
owner be for milk. beef or butter. The
system takes into consideration the
question of shelter, likewise, and the
animals are as tenderly treated rs they
are well fed. 1t calls for the selection of
the best stock. of the breeds suited for
the purposes desired, and no other; and
the improvement of the stock every wear
is paramount object, no expense being
spared to accomplish it; nor is the
manure overlooked, for every ounce is
not only saved but we'll preserved.
There must not be any loss of ammonia,
no teaching from rains nor exposure to
the sun. 1t is treated as an article of
the greatest value, and fitted for proper
assimilation by the crops which it is to
nourish. Great as the interest of the
farmer may be in his stock, yet, with
all his care, he does not cease until the
ultimate object is attained, which is to
increase the productiveness of the soil,
and every year the stock becomes more
valuable, the dividends larger, and the
soil richer. Less land is required under
the system, and no energies are wasted
over broad fields. but time, labor and
money are concentrated on the smallest
possible space that can be made to sup
port the amount of stock required,
manure is spread thickly, and when it
Is all taken from the BARNARD not
another acre is touched outside of the
area the manure covers except for green
manuring. The crops are put in lust
where they do best, and no land re-
mains idle. for green crops are turned
In, proper system of rotation is fol-
lowed, and the best manual skill and
the best machinery are called to the as
sistance of the farmer in making every
thing pay. In fact, soiling, properly
conducted, is scientific farming. -Phila-
