and true" Said Robert Bonner: "The
great secret of successful shoeing is-keep
the foot level. A true hoof is usually

Vow, as to the dreadful navicular dis
disease. No man can tell. or ever Will be
able 10 tell. whether a horse has navlcuiar
disease or not unless he dissects the foot.
Fully two-thirds of the alleged navicular
diseases are merely sutferlngs caused by
improper shoeing.
"A city horse, whether for coach, car or
draft purposes, should have three calks
on each shoe, one in front and two behind.
The front calk should be about half an
inch from the toe, and the two hind caiks
should be about an inch each from the end
of the shoe. When you raise the heel you
depress the ankle, and when you raise the
toe you raise the ankle also, all the col
leges and gilded faculties IN the world
notwithstanding.
About SPAWN? Well, here's my opin-
ion regarding it. It's far too common, and
is brought about by the most cruel and
gross neglect on the part of people whose
duty it is 10 look after horses. Ii IS ahso-
lutely Observation-Disclosures impossible
for horse TO throw out q SPAWN unless
he is too long in the toe. The prevention
therefore is the easiest of matters.
"a general misconception is the popular
impression that a running or trottIng

OF these four states, Washington con-
tains the smallest number of irrigators
and the smallest acreage of crop irrigated.
The average size OF crop areas Is somewhat
less than IN the case OF the nelghDorlng
states, ana the average annual valve of
products per acre Is decidedly greater.
This latter fact is due largely to the Pc
cuilar relation which the irrigated areas
bear 10 the country whole. In many
localities irrigation is not absolutely eS-
senilal. but IS praCticed in order 10 raise
larger crops and to insure against loss by
drought. There is in these cases ten
dency % attribute to the irrigated pOr-
tons Of the farms a production dispro-
portlonaliy large, which tendency IS far
greater than in the states where irriga-
ton Is necessary for crops Of every kind.
The irrigated portions of farms where
cereals are grown by dependence upon
rainfall are devoted mainly TO orchards,
gardens. and the raising OF alfalfa, of
which last-named crop from two TO four
cuttings are made annually, and thus the
value OF products per acre Is larger than
IN more ARID regions where field crops are
irrigated.
In regard 20 the ownership of irrigated
areas in large bodies and by few owners,
Washington stands intermediate between
Idaho and Oregon, while In the average
SIZE OF small crop areas. those under lao
acres Il stands az one extreme OF the list,
these averaging only thlrtY-t~o acres each.
This would seem TO indicate higher de-
gree OF cultivation by the irrigator. for it
may he taken as a general rule that the
smaller the crop areas the better are they
attended 10. and the higher will be the
value of the products
The nrSt cost OF water is small, from the
fact that such OF the bitches 50 were n use
In lSS9 have been built in the most favor
able localities, that they are short, and are
simple in construction, the cost per acre
irrigated being far less than in the case of
the more comprehensive systems OF later
date.

MIR. ALIENS GOOD RECORD.
Two More Bills Passed by the Senate
Adjournment at Hand.


WASHINGTON CITY, July 2S.-[Special.l l.
Senator Allen has secured the passage in
the Senate OF the bill granting to the city
OF Waila Walla for park the triangular
portion of the military reservation sepa-
rated from the main body of the reserva-
ton by a county highway and By the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation Com
pany's track. This part of the
reserve comprises about twenty-eight
acres. and all the improvements are
to be made under plans approved By the
secretary of war. The government reserves
the right TO assume possession and occupy
any portion of it whenever public interest
may require it without compensation to
the city for the improvements thereon,
and the government shall not be liable for
any damages resulting by reason of such
resumption.
Senator Allen today called up and
secured the passage of bill to accept and
ratiiy an agreement made with the con-
federated tribes and bands of Indians oc-
cupying the Yakima reservation in the
state of Washington for the extinguish-
ment of their title TO so much of their
reservation as is required for the use of
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
for right-of-way purposes. This is the last
bill that the senator had tied up. with the
exception Of the Puyallup Indian reserva-
ton bill.
Mr.. Allen said today tina: he was very
much pleased over the fact that he
had been able to get through all
measures of interest to the state
of Washington that have been before
the Senate at this session. 1t is
not possible now for Mr.. Allen to get up
the Puyallup bill. as the indications to-
night are that there will not be voting
quorum in the Senate at any future daily
session until a recess is taken.

Crop areas Oh ~.


The average first cost of constructing If
rigatlng bitches and bringing water TO the
land Is estimated from the statements of
farmers to have been s403 per acre, the
amount ranging from 81 TO IS or more per
acre. The average selling value placed by
the lrrIgators upon their water rights is
Sl3 10 per acre. This is the price which
the water rights, If transferable without
the land. might be expected TO bring per
acre.
The average annual expense of main
tanning the bitches Is estimated by the
farmers az 30 cents per acre, the averages
Tor the different counties ranging from %
cents to 81 per acre. These repairs are
usually OF very simple character. con-
sisting merely in the cleaning out of the
ditch at points where sediment has been
deposited and in repairing breaks in the
bitches, which have, for the most part
been hastily and cheaply constructed.
The cost of preparing the ground for cul-
tivation, excluding the cost of bringing
the water TO the land, but including such
Items as clearing the land, where neces-
sary. of trees and brush, and also powing
and fencing, was $10.27 per acre. Adding
to this amount the cost of bringing water
to the land, S4.03 per acre, and the original
cost of the land at the government price of
81. % per acre, the total cost of the culti-
waited land to the irrigator was 1855 per
acre. In comparison with this, the estI-
mated average value of the land upon
which crops were raised by irrigation is
placed at $50 per acre, showing an appar-
ent profit of S3445 per acre, less cost Of
buildings.
Deducting the average annual expense
for water, IS cents per acre, from the aver
age annual value OF products, s1709 per
acre, it appears that the average annual
return per acre is 1854.
In the following table the more import
ant of the foregoing statements are COM
pared with the corresponding returns for
the neighboring states of Oregon, Idaho
and Montona. the first adjoining Washing
ton on the south and the second on the
east, while Montana is separated from it
only by the narrow part OF Idaho. These
figures accordingly show the general con-
dition of irrigation in the northern part of
