divided by strong partitions, four feet
high, into six pens of nearly equal size,
all connecting by gates with the central
area. Each one has a ,sleeping-place six
feet square, divided off by low parti-
ton only high enough to hold the bed

If these are provided the occupants of
the pens will keep their sleeping and

brought out again when all is ready.
The hydrant connects with water sup
ply which should have sufficient head

During the Debate in the House Mr.. Nc
Ktnley Showed That the Tariff Bill Is
Not Sectional.
Mr. Mckinley: The gentleman from
Alabama says this is sectional" bill,
and that the country is suffering be-
cause we are ''tinkering with the tariff"
"Tinkering with the tariff That is
the mission of the Democratic party.
And this is sectional" bill! say
that there is not a single paragraph in
this bill that is sectional" in its char
acter-not one. 1t is National from be-
ginning to end. Look at the Mills bill,
which you passed in the last House. 1t
is sectional from top to bottom. You
put what on the free list? Cotton ties
for the use Of the people of the
South. You put cotton bagging on
the free list You protected your
sugar and your rice; and then YOU
turned to the farmers of the North and
put their wool, their flax, their hemp,
and other agricultural products on the
free list If there ever was sectional
bill emanating from any party in this
House or any other, it was the Mills
bill of the Fiftieth Congress. This is
called sectional" bill; now what has
this bill done? 1t has taken care Of
every product of the South, unless YOU
except sugar; and it has given to the
producers of sugar bounty equal to
the duty they heretofore have been en-
joying-a direct and assured protection.
l have a number of items here that 1
want to call the gentleman's attention
to. Yellow pine, 1 believe. is product
of the South-produced no where else.
Mr.. Herbert: And white pine is a
product of the North.
Mr.. Mckinley: Exactly; and under
this bill yellow pine of the South is
made dutiable at 81, and white pine Of
of the North at 81. Take rice Take
mica. This product of North Carolina
and of Tennessee we found upon the
free list: we in the House took it from
the free list and put it upon the duti-
able list. and in open Senate our pro-
vision was approved by ma jority vote.
MI. Grosvenor: Take coa and iron ore.
Mr.. Mckinley: Yes take coal; take
iron ores; take sponges; take oranges:
take rice; take any thing you produce
in the South and look through our bill
and you will find in every particular it
has the same need Of protection that we
have given to the industries of the
North. And We propose. Mr.. Speaker.
to go right on protecting the South, as
We have done for twenty-five years-in

it for twenty years or more. and

delivered a speech at Kilmarnock. Scot
land. yesterday. He said that Mr..
Gladstone's torrent of words did not
afford his followers the slightes guild
ance He did not fear general
election. The Government would con-
tinue its Irish policy and would uphold
the Scottish Church. He objected to any
neddling with the working hours OF
adult labor. even in the case of the
miners, but he warned railway COM
panies that Parliament would inter-
fere if they overworked their men to
the danger Of the public.
The speaker exonerated America from
any desire to injure England with the
new Tariff law. Similar attempts in
the past he said, had only expanded
British trade, and it was not likely that
Great Britain would have to put up its
shutters now. The heavy duties on
tin-plates would only be a detri-
ment to the American fruit trade.

WASHINGTON, Oct 81. - Tearing
things wide open" very we'll expresses
what is being done in the West to de-
velop underground water supplies Here
Is some of the information which a
single days mail brings to the artesian-
irrigation bureau Of the Department Of
Agriculture:
At Coryell, Costills County. in Colo
RADIO. water has been obtained for irri-
cation in a novel way. Holes are dug
to the clay formation eighteen feet
down. The water rises to the surface
and by capillary attraction reaches the
plant roots.
The Fountain Cui Bouille is fourteen
miles north of Pueblo A company
there has undertaken to supply Pueblo
and the region around with water for
city and irrigation purposes. An exca-
walton has been made forty feet deep
and dam has been built upon the bed
rock. This secures daily a million gall
Ions of water which otherwise would
have gone to waste. Some of the water
thus obtained is used for farming
On a truck faBm near Colorado Springs
the owners have succeeded. by running
pipes underground to gravel beds, in Sc
curing great supply OF water, which
they distribute over their land
In the San Luis valley a land and
water company is clearing $500 acres.
The plan is to divide the tract into
farms. erect houses supply artesian
water for irrigation and lease to ten
ants 1t has been found that one low
pressure we'll in that valley will furnish
water enough for farm.
Mortgage companies in Kansas, which
have come into possession of several
million acres of land by foreclosure,
have organized syndicate for artesian
investigation. These lands are in West
ern and Southwestern Kansas They
lie south Of the Smoky river. 1t is the
intention of the syndicate to bore ex-
perimental wells and try other plans
to get at the underfiow with a view of
putting the land on the market again
when they are able to insure the settler
a steady supply of water sufficient for
irrigation. The department engineer
and geologist who are now in the field,
will be asked to look over the plans of
the mortgage cOmpany's syndicate and
criticise or approve them.
At Garden City the undersheet water
of the Arkansas valley is being tapped
by company which expects to find
enough to supply large ditch. This
thing has been successfully accom-
plished at Dodge City. There a canal
heads underground and extends down
stream at grade less than the natural
fall of the valley until it brings the
water mp to and above the surface of a
large tract of country. The Dodge City
canal is considered a perfect success 1t
will irrigate 800. 600 acres of land as far

FREE TRADE AND THE FARMER.

a s,omparison Between the Condition OF
tho English Farmer and the American
Agricultural.
Forty years ago. when it was sought
to change the policy of Great Britain
from protection. which had been in
force for more than 400 years. the farm
ers of that Kingdom were told that
great advantages would inure to them:
l. In cheaper clothing, implements, etc !;
2. They were told that, with the world
for market. manufactures would pros
per- and those people depending upon
them for a livelihood would become
liberal buyers Of farm products at en-
HANGED prices
Inasmuch as the same arguments are
urged upon the farmers Of this country
as an lnducemcnt for following the
British policy, it will be interesting,
and may prove profitable, to note the
effects of that policy upon English agri-
culture. Facts of history are much
safer guides than fine-spun theories Of
economic writer's, or specious arguments
of free trade politicians.
England adopted her free trade policy
in 1916, when, according to official re-
ports, her farmers were growing IA, lOO,-
600 acres of wheat oats and barley,
valued at $3.50, 900. 900. Forty-one years
later, in 1887, acreage in the same crops
was 9,S76, 27O, with value of $500, 000,-
900. This in face of the fact that the
population of the Kingdom had increased
from %, 600, 900 to $1,000. 900.
Commenting upon these official fig
ures, a prominent London journal re-
marks: Thus We have, with 80 per
cent. increase of population, reduced
tillage Of land for wheat, barley and
oats of 4. 223, 80 acres; and besides that
the serious and lamentable loss of the
purchasing power of the agricultural
products to the extent of ESQ, OO0, OOO."
That is to say, English farmers, had
$3.50. 900, 600 less income in 1887 than in
1916, as the result of forty-one years
trial Of free trade. The values of agri-
cultural lands have meantime fallen 40
to rs per cent, and the tendency is still
downward.
In view of these facts, there is little
room for wonder at existing agitation
for return to the policy of protection.
More than 500 tariff clubs have been
organized in England, not alone by
those engaged in farming, who were
the first sufferers under the policy which
it is urged that this country should
adopt. but by workmen in the mechani-
cal industries as we'll One hundred and
forty public meetings favoring tariff
REFORM" in the direction of protection,
were held in England during the first
three months of the present year.
1t will thus be seen that the promises
of prosperity for farmers under free
trade have not been fulfilled in En-
gland. With cheaper clothing and
cheaper food has come diminished abil-
ity to buy.
Farmers in this country will do we'll
to be content with the experience of
their cousins across the water, and con-
tinue their refusal to lend themselves
to change of that economic policy
which has brought to the United States
prosperity unparalleled in the worlds
history.
When we buy abroad the sellers profit
remains abroad. When we sell abroad
the buyers profit remains abroad. I'm
der protection both these profits remain
at home.
