IRRIGATION.
Its Agency TO Agriculture Through the
Ages.

Its Agency TO Agriculture Through the
Ages.
Gen. Greely evidently shares the no
ton Of certain popular writers that
irrigation IL only required when the
atmospheric precipitation falls below
given number Of inches. But the ne
cessity for irrigation only occasionally
depends on the rainfall. In some
countries, which would be deserts but
for irrigation, there ID quite a heavy
rainfall. Lombardy, which has been
irrigated for thousand years, has
some twenty-five inches-six inches
more than Sacramento. and there are
twenty-five inches on the average in
the department of the Bouches du
Rhone. where every field is irrigat d:
Some of the oldest irrigation works a
Spain are in a region where the rain.
fall exceeds twenty inches; beck Of
Madra, in India, where every pound
of grain Is raised by means Of irriga-
tion, the annual precipitation is nearly
fifty inches. Rain, unless il falls al
regular intervals and moderate guam
titles at time, is but little help TO
agriculture. AT Madras, WI ere twenty
four inches sometimes falls in a single
storm, IL is a nuisance 10 the farmer.
What the earth wants to bring forth
Its increase Is steady, uniform sup.
ply Of water in small quantities.
throughout tn. season when plants
are growing aud fruit Is filling out.
The result il attained in the eas FERN
states aud In northern Europe by q
rainfall which in the aggregate l.
excessive, but whicE in the average IL
well distributed through the growing
season. Ii is not attained In the
country west Of the Missouri, even In
places where there 10 considerable
rainfall, because the precipitation Is
not distributed aud does not come at
the precise time when II is needed
There is no bart Of this state where
the people are more in earnest about
irrigation than In northern Colusa,
where they have an annual rainfall ol
thirty inches. Francisco Call.

He Died Of Grief.

The emotional life Of the horse Is re-
markable. There are Instances on
record where the death OF the horse
has been traced directly to grief. One
insiauce lie called to mind, which &C.
Cured more than twenty years ago.
A circus had been performing In the
little town Of UDionville, Ps., when
one Of the trained horses sprained one
Of his legs so that he could not travel.
He was taken to the hoted and put In
box stall. The leg was bandaged
and he was made as comfortable ne
possible. He ate his food and was ap.
parently contented until about mid
night when the circus began moving
out Of town. Then he became restless
and tramped and whined. As the
caravan moved past the hotel he
seemed TO realize that be was being
deserted. and bis anxiety and distress
became pitiful. He would stand with
his ears pricked In an attitude ol
intense listening. and then % his ears
caught he sounds Of the retiring
wagons, he would rush, o. best he
could with his injured leg, from one
side OF the stall TO tire other. pushing
at the door with hls nose ind makins
every effort 10 escape. The stablemsn'
who was stranger TO him, tried to
sooshe him. but TO no purpose he
would not be comforted. Long after
oil sounds Of the circus had ceased bis
agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him In streams and be
quivered in every part Of his body

Prohibition Furore,

BosroN, April 22.-Today is voting day
upon the proposed amendments to the
constitution of Massachusetts prohibiting
the manufacture aud sale of intoxicating
liquors. The day is bright and clear,
with prospects of large vote. Both
parties have been active in the cam
paign. The day is legal holiday. Ex-
changes and wholesale business honses
are closed. All indications point to the
defeat of the amendment.
The farmers, it is believed, will vote
against the amendment because it would
interfere with their making cider. The
adoption requires two thirds vote and
so far as can be Judged of the known
predictions of those who have alrea ~
cast their vote, but little expectation is
indulged in that when the ballots are
counted tonight the necessary majority
will be forthcoming.

The Wild Wave Rolling.

ST.. Louis, April GA special dis
patch from Oklahoma says everybody il
on the qui vive to make a grand rush
across the line at noon. Large sums are
being paid for swift horses, that the pur
chasers may reach the choice land first.
There is as much If not more strug.
Cling for townsites as for sections. Its
said that thirty-two townsite companies
are going for Guthrie; half that number
for Oklahoma City; and about twenty fol-
King Fisher; while there are applicants
for townsites on almost every section.
The trouble between the townsite COM
panies promises to be as dangerous as
among the claim hunters. Last night
there arrived at Oklahoma City seven
men bearing deputy marshal's papers en-
titling them to enter the country. One
man aged 70 wore a fine broadcloth suit
and carried gold headed cane. There
is not one in the party who ever made an
arrest. 1t is stated that the aggregate
capital Of the crowd is over $2,OOO,OOO,- :
600 and their evident intention is to Sc
lect a townsite.
1t is thought there are over thirty"dep-
uties" now in and about Oklahoma who
at noon will turn in their designations
and accept them all by themselves, and
turn private citizens and then "bounce"
claims.
Capt. Hays and his troops got to the
Oklahoma boader this morning. A care
full estimate by reporter who was on
the border last night shows that within a
radius of five miles on the border, at the
entrance of the Ponica trail, fully 500
people were ut least mile over the line.
Wire fences divide the strip from Okla
homa. The men did not know the fence
was the dividing line; or if they did, they
needed it not. No soldiers were there to
dispute their ENTRANCE or to tell where the
line was.
Without let or hindrance a great many
people went into Oklahoma Saturday
night. Cattemen at Red Rock, as they
came through Oklahoma from Galveston
last night, counted over 10000 men in the
bushes along through Oklahoma.
