The popular idea of the labor which
goes to the making Of books is often an
amusing one, A literary woman who
had urged as a reason for shortening her
call on dear old lady the fact that she
had some work to do when she got home
was confronted with the question:
Don't you want sheet of paper and
a pencil right now?'
what for?" was her astonished query.
"Why, to write something!" = Ex-

LII That state during the census wear
ending June 30, 1890. crops vera rais.d
by irrigation on 229,676 acres or nearly

The enumerators' schedules that nearly
nlne-tenths Of that acreage was devoted
TO the raising of various kinds of for
age In addition to the area thus irri-
gated for crops a larger acreage was de
voted to irrigation for grazing purposes
but has not been included in the censna
officers calculations as to the cost and
return OF irrigation. Considering only
the irrigated crop acreage under the
head Of IRRIGATED FARMS it is stated
that there were in Wyoming at the time
OF the last census enumeration nearly
2,OOO farmers who cultivated their cropg
by irrigation. AS there are in the en-
tire state but 1926 farms it is evident
that much more than half of the WON
ing farms are cultivated at least partial
ly by this method, but as the total farm
acreage Of Wyoming exceeds 100000
acres, it is also to be inferred that less
than one-siXth of that acreage is cult

of the irrigated sections thus cultivated
by each farmer was less than 100 acres.

and less than two. BY far the greater
number Of the irrigated sections, there
fore, were,in patches Of less than 100
acres each, although the acreage en-
braced by the 303 irrigated sections of
large dimensions comprises nearly two
thirds of the entire irrigated farming
land in the state. As for the matter OF
profit and loss, the returns for irrigation
are fgnred as follows: The average
size of an irrigated farm in Wyoming is
about 100 acres. The average cost of
the water rights to irrigate such q sec
ton would be $43440, and the average
cost of preparing the land for irrigation,
exclusive Of the original cost of the farm,
would approximate $l,l40. The average
value of the land to day is stated to be
$3l.40 per acre, thus making the APP
parent profit il such farm to be 81, '
1850. although from this amount the e
must be deducted the cost Of farm
buildings. Such farm under irriga-
ton would produce a crop worth $1,000
at an annual cost of about $3.50 for
water rights.

4 New Fuel from Waste Paper.

The waste Of a paper and pulp mill,
near West Troy, is being utilized as the
basis Of a new fuel, which is said to be
Of much value. The waste as it comes
from the mills is nearly pure carbon, and
by cleansing and chemical treatment it
is converted into form that permits of
nearly perfect combustion. It is said to
