An old farmer, in whom we have

for a couple Of days in the heaps. On
the third or fourth day the cocks should
be spread out, but only so much IN ad-
vance of the gathering wagon that they
will get about an hours sun. Then it
will hold its green color. If dried for a
day or two before being raked up it gets
stiff and rusty and breaks up, and there
is not only great waste in cutting but a
a greater loss in food value, as the

The Fabulous Straits OF Anian.

AS early as 1900 a Portuguese named
Gaspar Cortereal coasted along the
shore of Novus Mundus North Amer
ica), and entered HudSon's Bay through
the straits of the same name. Upon
these he bestowed the title of tine
.'straits of Anian," though for what
reason, or what is the significance Of
the name, is a mystery to the present
day. This he reported to communi-
cate directly with the Inter Ocean, a
body of water now known to lie more
than ten thousand miles to the south
west. Even with the scant geograph-
zeal knowledge Of those times the idea
was secuted by educated men; yet upon
the maps OF the period such q passage
was indicated in the latitude Of sixty
degrees, leading indefinitely west
ward from the Atlantic, and va
riously named s'Straits of Anian,'
Straits OF Labrador" or :'Straits of
Cortereal.' In 1919 navigator named
Magellan, II Portuguese. who had sew
eral times visited the Indies by passing
eastward around the cape of Good
Hope, sailed under the flag of Spain to
search for a southern passage in the
.cOutll oCl. SIHlo ltlCI olC VI
his vessels returned, having entered the
Pacific through the Straits Of Magellan,
crossed it to the Indies, and reached
home by passing around the southern
extremity of Africa. This voyage con
tributed more to geographical knowl-
edge than any other expedition before
or since. 1t demonstrated that Ameri-
ca was = distinct continent. separtcd
from Asia, on the south at least, by an
ocean of gigantic proportions: that the
Indies could positively be reached by
sailing westward. and that the world
was not only Il sphere, but there was
a salt water highway by which vessels
could sail completely around it.
The prevailing opinion that there ex-
listed Il Northwest Passage into the Pa
ci1ic was now crystalized into q general
belief. Magellan had SIMPLY passed
through the straits. and WAS unawaEs
of the open sea lying still further 70
the south, and it was many years be-
fore Dutch f%reebooters discovered the
passage around Cape Horn. 1t was
supposed that he had simply %traversea
q dangerous passagcway leading
through u narrow portion OF the great
South American continent. just such
a waterway the Straits OF Anlan were
thcn supposed to be, piercing the con-
tinent from .he Atlantic to the South
Sea. To find it England, SPAN

two other regiments were brought up,

The Antiquity of Irrigation.

In Piato's history of Atlantis we
are told that twice a year the inhabi-
tants gathered the fruit of the ear b
in winter, having the benefit of the
rainfall. and IN the summer by ''the
use of the water OF the canal" Hence,
the ,.eople of this lost island, sunk in
the bosom of the Atlantic ocean, were
familiar with irrigation We are told
Of ditch one hundred feet deep with
a Width in proportion For hundreds
of miles an immense irrigating canal
was carried over the plains, having
lateral bitches at convenient intervals.
The climate was somewhat like that
prevailing in California, fruits grow
ing In abundance. It being general
" conceded that such country as At
lantis once existed, the magnitude of
such canal as Plato describes makes
even the immense canals OF India
shrink into insignifcance by compaF-
iSon, while those of Colorado state -
large as they may seem to US -dwin
die down to tiny artificial streams.
