THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM.
III Is an Important One, Which the Gov
eminent Should Solve.

eminent Should Solve.
1t is in all respects desirable that the
arid lands Of the West, comprising an area
of nearly 100000 acres, shall be re-
claimed and made productive, if such a
result can be accomplished in a definite
and practical way. Professor Powell is
satisfied that system of reservoirs will
answer the purpose, and he recommends an
experiment of that kind in New Mexico.
The work will have to be done of course by
the Federal Governmental least to the
extent of demonstrating the feasibility of
the plan-and the expense will necessarily
be large; but at the same time, in the
event of success, the gain in the value of
lands that are now wholly worthless would
make the investment profitable. There is
no question about the adaptability of the
soil to cultivation if only sufficient moist
ure can be obtained; the crops raised by
irrigation in Kansas, Colorado and New
Mexico are conclusive upon this point
But it is impossible for private parties to
provide necessary facilities in the case.
They can only utilize small tracts here and
there which are Immediately contiguous to
water-courses and the great stretches of
desert territory that lie beyond reach by
the simplest means must always remain
untillable unless the Government shall
establish and maintain some reliable pro-
cess of general irrigation.
The theory of irrigation is by no means
a new one, as every reader of history is
aware. 1t is as old, almost, as agriculture;
indeed, some writers contend that agri-
culture owes its beginning to that form of
water-supply. 1t was certainly employed
at very early day in Egypt; the Moors
introduced 1t into Spain, and when the
Spaniards went to Mexico they found it in
operation there. The indications of great
irrigating canals and reservoirs are to be
seen in different portions of the country
where the Aztec and Spanish agrioulturists
SO long had sway There is reason to be-
lieve that they found the process satisfac-
tory SO far as they were able to apply it;
and our increased scientific knowledge and
improved methods of conducting public
enterprises should enable us to achieve
much better results than they
ever attained. As the matter
now stands, all these vast arid districts are
not of SO much value as single farm in
Missouri, and yet it is possible that they
might be made habitable and productive
by an expenditure that would come far
short of the gain in the way of multiplied
homes and opportunities for our growing
population. The issue was not very inn
portant so long as we had an abundance of
desirable public lands for the use of set
tiers, but we have now reached a point
where we have little left in that respect
1t is only by redeeming the deserts that we
can hope to meet the future demand for
homesteads, and certainly the Government
should make all reasonable efforts to solve
problem ofso much lmportance.-.S Louis
Globe Democrat.

A Relic of a Famous Battle.

A white-pine tree was cut recently two
miles south of Shade Mills, in Garrett
county, Nd, near the site of the old Brad
dock road, and converted into shingles. 1t
was a large tree, and by expert woodsmen
estimated to be at least 800 years old. In
cutting it up the saw, going through some
tough substance, then supposed to be a
knot, attracted attention, and investiga-
ton disclosed bullet embedded within
two inches of the heart The tree at this
point was "a inches in diameter. About
one-third OF the bullet was sawed away,
the remainder, weighing at least an ounce,
being left in the corner of the butt end of
a single. The ball is supposed to have
been shot from a musket by one of Brad
docks men during the campaign which
eliminated in the disaster at Fort Du
Quesne. In this event the bullet was en-
bedded in the tree 1873 years ago, each
years growth burying it deeper 1t is d
most interesting memento of the ill-starred
campaign of 1755. 1t was brought to
Fortsburg. Allegheny county, and given to
Davisson Armstrong, agent of the Borden
Mining Company -Baltimore Sun.

Medical Value of Lemons.

While you are giving people simple rules
for preserving their health, why don't you
tell them about the use of lemons? an in
telligent professional man said to me the
other day. He went on to say that he had
long been troubled with an inactive liver,
which gave him world of pain and
trouble, until recently he was advised by
friend to take glass of hot water, with
the juice of half lemon squeezed into it,
but no sugar, night and morning, and see
what the effect would be. He tried it, and
found himself better almost Immediately
His daily headaches, which medicine had
failed to cure, left him; his appetite i'm
proved, and he gained several pounds in
weight within few weeks. After while
he omitted the drink, either at night or in
the morning, and now at times does with
out either of them. / am satisfied from
experiment" he said, that there is no
better medicine for persons who are
troubled with bilious and liver complaints
than the simple remedy / have given,
which is far more efiicacious than quinine
or any other drug, while it is devoid of
their injurious consequences. 1t excites
the liver, stimulates the digestive organs,
and tones up the system generally. 1t is
not unpleasant to take, either; indeed, one
soons gets to liking it"-Chicago Jouindl

Making Port Wine

Port wine, when young, is astringent,
the stalks not being removed from the watts.
As soon as primary fermentation has
ceased, spirit is added and, if the must is
not sweet ENOUGH, sugar goes into it. If
the must is deficient in color, dried elder
berries or black cherries are trodden into it.
1t is authoritatively stated by DIS. Thudi-
cum and Dupre that no port wine is i'm
ported inte England which contains less
than three gallons of brandy to the pipe;
and some ports are said to contain as much
as seventeen gallons of this spirit 1t is
needless to say that such wine must be ex-
tremely deleterious, unless old in bot
lie. One per cent. of proof spirit in
addition is added to port wine on ship
mens IF deficient in color, the wine Is
now treated in England with jerupiga

OLIVE GROWING.
A Strong Output of Plsnts-Something
About Method.

Arthur Field, in an interview published
by the San Jose Mercury says on the sub
ject of olive culture:
" Dan Murphy viii haze an orchard OF
$4,000 trees on the San MARITIME ranch,
Rudolph Spence 5000 on the Buena Vista
ranch, in Salinas valley, Norman Rideout
5000 near Marysville and John E. Rich
ards 5000 on his ranch near Los Gatos.
These are some of the largest orchards that
/ can recall at this time, but, as [ have
said, am getting letters every day on the
subject from every part of the country, and
from them | learn that very large num-
Der of small orchards are being set out.
Altogether, it seems probable that the
number of trees planted for the next two
or three years will be limited solely by
the supply.
"What has caused the sudden demand
for the trees?"
"The certainty of the crops and the
profits derived from it. The crop is as near
surety as anything earthly can be. The
trees not only yield abundantly, but as the
fruit ripens in winter, the crop can be
gathered at time when labor is plenty.
Nor is there any hurry, as in other fruit
crops, such as apricots, for instance, where
whole orchard sometimes ripens in three
or four days and has to be gathered at
once. The olive is not perishable. Pick
ing begins in December and continues two
months, or during the whole winter, per-
haps. The green olives are picked and
put in one receptacle for picking, and the
ripe ones into another for oil. There is
no rush and nothing is wasted. This is
a great advantage, and keenly appreciated
by our fruit-growers.
In planting olive trees they should be
placed about thirty-fye feet apart, as they
require much more space than ordinary
fruit trees. The olive requires about ten
years to grow from the cutting. 1t is
therefore advisable in setting out an orch
ard to plant grape-vines between the trees.
In this way a tree will stand where every
twenty-fourth vine should be. Such plant
ing does not take up much room from the
can be gradually removed. Planted in
this way there will be forty trees to the
acre, and after ten years growth average
yield of $50 per tree may be counted on.
The process of extracting the oil is
very simple; it is a good deal like making
cider. The olives are first reduced TO
pulp by being crushed with heavy roller
Then they are put into the press and the
oil squeezed out. The press must be kept
very clean, as the slightest foreign sub
stances will mar the taste Of the delicate
oil; but if cleanliness be observed the task
is simple one. There is no further work
to be done after the oil is procured, for it
never changes. 1t grows neither better
nor worse with age. There are only
two grades. That which is drawn from
the top after all the sediment has
settled is the best, and is called virgin
OIL The second is that which comes from
the bottom of the casks. There is there
fore no difficulty in the way of preparing
the produce of an olive orchard for the
market, and the fact adds much to its dura-
bility.n

Notr,t;on and ve.,h

DR.. Norman Kerr, writing in the British
-Hedicai Journal, says that in the cities of
the United States, where tea is consumed
IN much smaller quantities than in Eng
land, the teeth decay more rapidly. The
climate, the many indigestible articles of
diet, The extreme nerve tension of the
Americans, and other causes affecting the
neryine and general health of that people,
tend to induce adyspeptic condition which
always seemed to him to be largely re-
sponsible for their premature dental decay.
At the same there can be little doubt
that the white bread and tea is a frequent
cause OF gastric trouble Next to tea, al
cohoi by its depravity of the digestive ap-
paratus, has always seemed to him to in
terfere with tooth nutrition and soundness.
