IRRIGATION IN THE SOUTHWEST.

From the Garden City Sentinel.
When reference is made to the fact
that portion Of southwest Kansas IS
already under good system of irriga-
ton eastern people remark that it Is of
no appreciable advantage to the country,
as only small per cent of the land Is
irrigable While we have made no fig
ures to show now many acres are subject
to irrigation in southwest Kansas, it is a
fact that a larger body of land is covered
by bitches here than in any one locality
in any state or country where farming
is carried on by irrigation. The trouble
is that the area of irrigable land is too
large for the present supply of water. If
the underhow could be utilized, which no
doubt can be, there is enough irrigable
land in southwest Kansas to produce
every season more corn, wheat and oats
than the states of Ohio and Indiana COM
bined. One acre under irrigation will
produce more than three acres of worn
out land in the eastern states. There is
no place en- the American continent
where irrigable land can be bought as
cheap as in southwest Kansas. But it is
slowly advancing in price, and now is
the time for eastern people, who want to
secure homes in the west, to come out
and invest.

orJR MILITIA RESERVES.

1t is not altogether unpleasant TO observe
from the report of the adjutant general
that the United States, in case of war,
could put into the field force of nearly
1900, 900 men. OF actual enlistments in
the armies of both sides in the late war
there were not far from 100000. In
another war the north and south would
be on one side, and we could throw into
the field 100000 men against any at
tacking force. The 100000 estimate
counts in only those between Is and 45.
AS matter of fact, in our war there
are many both under and over the legal
limit.
The army of disciplined national
guards is not large, in spite OF the en-
couragement given to it by both state
and national governments of late years.
1t numbers only 103, 292 men and S,052
officers, a little body with a big head.
The number of officers is more imposing
than the number of privates. There is
an officer to every twelve men. The
criticism German soldiers make on our
army is that there are too many small
officers. But this is a free country where
every soldier aspires to be brigadier
general.
New York has the most trained mill
the number peing 13,41S men
and T43 commissioned officers. Next
comes Pennsylvania, 72S officers and T.
$50 privates. Ohio is third, having 315
officers and 4. .544 priyates.

Now for this age and day

OF allowing all to have their say,
At least until they began to bray,
Suffering even the spring bird to sing
his lay,
And this sorter holds things level.
But Mr. J. c., of Bluff City,
With fiery eyes and looking gritty,
Says. Laws O'Massy. what pity,

Or farmers'l soon be in open revolt,
Breaking US loose from our coat-tail holt
To scampering off like playful colt,
Letting all the rest of NAH kind go to the
devil.
He says in effect if this thing goes
on, the domineering, rich and arrogant
farmers will get to looking out for them
selves, will want the same degree of
protection they cheerfully accord to
others. and "then, boo hoo, boo hoo, what
would the harvest be to the rest of man.

the fate of some of them: striped clothes
and harder diet than they now enjoy"
Would it not be good thing, Mr.. j.

fcal bull against the comet-as it were,
suppressing all papers that allow free
and fair discussion in their columns? If
it goes on, a ''theory"-a MoseS-may
yet be found, that will lead the farmers
out Of their present condition" and in
spite of your frantic alarm J. c., any
thing that benefits the farmers, helps
nine-tenths of all the "harvests for the
rest of mankind"
Hoping the EAGLE~yet awhile, will
not ''call a halt" though the fiat goes
forth to do SO, from all the thousands
millions of note shavers, bankers. store
keepers, pettifoggers, pedagogues, and
other producers. Of that shining city, sit

the broad expense of turbulent waters,

a few months, stop publications. Yours

PROSPECTS FOR cATTLE-RA1s1NG.

WESTERN ASficulturSt.
While it may look like flying in the
face of fact and figures to assert any
thing encouraging in the cattle business
at present status, the signs are in every
way encouraging. There is no class of
stock that responds more literally for
feed and care than cattle: no class of
stock that have built up more fortunes,
made more prosperous farmers. Indeed,
can think OF no wealthy farmer in my
vicinity, but who, directly or indirectly,
laid the foundation Of his prosperity in
cattle, while the fortunes of our bonanza
ranchmen are proverbial. 1t Is said,
with all possibility of truth, that on our
free western range steer may be fitted
for shipping at an outlay of only 81. IN
cluding salt and herder hire. All grass,
both tame aud wild, all fodder other
wise going to waste, and the unsightly
straw stacks can be converted into
money through cattle as with no other
animal.
The regular farmer may not be able to
get his cattle to market for dollar per
head, but the margin of profit is liberal
usually-even perceptable at prevailing
rates. The present inlook of cattle |
must repeat again. is far more forebodlng
than the outlook, if rightly looked into.
The present disastrous prices are wholly
owing to the breaking up of the great
herds of the western plains, consequent
upon being driven off of the govern
nlent lands. These herds were too large
to be dispersed in month. in year, or
even three years. The fruit of govern
ment action is now just ripening. The
older feeders gone, it is the ''tailings" of
these great droves that have swamped
our cattle market. These, we have in
good authority. are practically exhausted
and we may look for not only fair, but
even good prices in the immediate
