Canals for Farmers.

1t is stated that thus far this
season more wheat has been CARR
ed east on the Erie Canal than on
all of the railways running to the
seabord. Whether the figures are
exact or not, the general statement
Is of great Importance. The diff
ference in cost per bushel between
floating the grain down the lakes,
thence through the Erie Canal
from Buffalo to Albany and down
the Hudson to New York, in the
same boats, and the cost of carry
ing it by railway is very great, at
least the charges for carrying it on
the toll-free canal, and what would
be the railway tariff, if there were
no such competing waterway, is a
matter of many millions of dollars
to the Western grower and the
Eastern consumers.
The further gain by the con-
struction of the Hennepin Canal,
thus continuing this eastern water
way to the Mississippi river and
It's affiuents, would be millions of
dollars more. The States ofIllin-
OILS and Iowa could alone well
afford to build this canal by taxa
ton. But it would be national
benefit and should be built by the
General Government. Eastern
and Southern Congressman who
stand in the way, and while voting
millions to improve their mud
creeks, refuse this small pittance,
may as well understand that they
are dallying with no infant. The
West is becoming too strong to
much longer submit to this treat
ment, and if it continues, thew will
rise in their might, and take
charge of the running of the gov
eminent machinery, beginning
with the Head Engineer-Pra

Pure Water for Cattle.

In many parts of the prairie
States springs of pure water are
rare. Instead of little running
brook of clear water on almost
every farm, as is the case where
springs abound, the surface water
is carried off through depressions,
called sloughs. During those
portions of the year in which
heavy rains are frequent, the
water flows in these sloughs, but
during the hot months of summer
and autumn, they are mostly dry,
except iii the lower spots, where
the water seems to ooze from the
ground in sufficient quantity to
MAINTAIN a dirty, semi-stagnant
pool. Such water is wholly unfit
for live stock, and especially for
mich cows. Yet we have seen
large pastures in Iowa, and other
Western States, where such was
the only supply for the drinking
water of mich COWS or other cat
tie, during the year. 1t is less
Objectionable during the cool
spring months, while water is flow
ing, but such water in summer
and autumn is prolific source of
disease. On every farm that is
not provided with clear, running
water every day in the year, well
is necessity, not only as a mat
ter of humanity, but also of dol
lars and cents. Though slough
water might appear to be clear in
August, it would scarcely need
scientific analysis to prove that it
is filled with disease germs. 1t is
a well-known fact that any faint in
the water of mich COW is COM
municated to the milk, and thence
it is introduced into the system of
the consumer.-Prairie Farmer.
