GREAT IRRIGATION SCHEME
Arid Land in Dakota to be Re
claimed by a Canal.

a syndicate of Dakota capitalists, includ-
ing a dozen or more millionaire residents OF
Bismarck, Grand Forks and Jamestown, has
been organized to develop new canal scheme
that viii reclaim upward of {, OOO, 900 acres Of
arid and now useless land in North Dakota
The idea is to construct a canal from the
Missouri River at Bismarck, 1868 feet above
the level Of the sea, to Lake Traverse and
Big Stone Lake, 600 feet above the level OF
the sea.
This canal would run through section OF
country in North and South Dakota that
is in great need of irrigation. Lateral canals
are to be constructed by the various coun-
ties, and hundreds of thousands Of acres of
arid land reclaimed, while the present culti-
waited country will be wonderfully enhanced
in value.
The fall of the canal will be sufficient to
keep up steady current when properly pro-
tected by locks and dams.
This canal would make an easy water
course to st. Paul and Minneapolis, and for
that matter clear to the Gulf of Mexico II
few million dollars were expended. 1t would
also tend to reduce freight rates on wheat
for export and on imported raw material
The coal mines Of Western Dakota would
also be easy of access, The canal, 1t Is est1-
mated. would cost 81, 900, 900.

TO PREVENT MOLD IN JARS.

One of the great troubles in preserving
fruit in glass jars is to prevent the forma-
ton of mold on top and the consequent
spelling of fruit when it rises above the
top of the strip. A very effective, cheap
and simple device is disc of thin veneer
of wood, from one-siXteenth to one
twentieth of an inch thick and from two
and three-quarters to three inches in dia-
meter for one quart jars, made from gum,
beech, birch, elm or ash, as these woods
have no taste nor flavor and will not in
jure the fruit. To use, dip in hot water
to prevent cracking, slightly bend so as
to slip in the neck down below the shout
der of the jar; press down on the fruit so
as to allow the sirup to rise over it. The
shoulder will keep it down and in place.
When you wish to use the fruit remove
by running fork under and picking it
out Washington Star.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BEsT TINE To BATHE.

The best time to battle is Just before
going to bed, as any danger of catching
cold Is thus avoided. and the complexion
Is improved by keeping warm for several
hours after leaving the bath. A couple
of pounds of bran put into thin bag and
then into the bath tub is excellent for
softening the skin. 1t should be left to
soak in a small quantity of water several
hours before being used.-Ne,o York Tele-

HOW TO PACK FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Florists and fruit growers arc cautioned
by an English authority against the use
of cotton as packing material for fresh
flowers and fruits. 1t is affirmed that
cotton ''as a packing material for cut
flowers or living plants, cuttings, scions,
ETC., it is the very worst if employed in
immediate contact with vegetable tissues" "
1t is advised, to observe the rule, to first
wrap fruit in tissue paper before using the
cotton, which may then be employed
with advantage as a soft padding. But
for bowers, plants and cuttings fresh clean
wood moss is advised. An English hor-
ticulturist of experience tells of his sue
cess in sending cut flowers. This secret
is to pack the flowers firmly and yet have
some elasticity. He packs on layer of
moss the flowers, wrapped in wax paper,
and over all places piece of the CORFU
gated brown paper used in shipping bot
ties and other glass.-NeoO York Herald.

said MI. Labouchere, and he at once
sought out Mr.. Biggar. "By-the-bye,"

confidence, ''do you know that Capt.

captain had no more to do with it than

Rabbit CourSin-.

recognized sport in California and west
of the Mississippi. On tho Pacific coast
there are "a number Of cor;rsing clubs
using greyhounds against the local jack
rabbit. The coursing by the Hampstead
club is with fox terriers against tho COM
mon wild rabbit, of the "cottontail
species, an animal very destructive to
the growing crops, and for the exter-
mination of which the authorities of
Australia and New Zealand have offered
large rewards.
In the United States, however, the
rabbit is protected by the game laws,
and can only be killed in the states of
New York and New Jersey between Nov.
and Feb. 1. The rabbits are procured
either by netting them or with box traps
that insure their non-injury. They are
fed and cared for until wanted, and then
conveyed to the coursing ground in large
boxes. The rabbits used at Hampstead
are mostly captured in the neighborhood
of Babylon, with several small lots from
