TIE USE or OLIVE OIL.
Trom the Los AngeIes TImes.l


 A correspondent of the Medical Times has the following regarding more liberal use of butter.
 No dietetic reform would, believe be more conducive to improved health among children and especially to the prevention of tuberculosis, than an increage in the consumption Of butter. Our children are trained to take butter with great restraint and are told that it is greedy and extrayagant to eat much of it. It is regarded as a luxury, and as giving relish to bread rather than in itself most impor- tant article of food. Eyeu to private families of the wealthier classes these rules prevail at table, and at schools and at public boarding establishments they receive strong endorsements from economical motives. Minute allowances of butter are served out to those who would gladly consume five times the quantity. Where the house income makes this a matter of ncccs- sity there k little more to be said than that it is often costly economy. Enfeebled health may easily entail a far heavier expense than more lib- eral breakfast would have done.
 Cod-liver oil costs more than butter. and it is besides often rot resortcd to until too late. Instead of restrict ing child's consumption of butter, would encourage it. Let the limit be tlie power of digestion and the tend ency to biliousnesS. Most children ma, be allowed to fellow their own inclinations. and will not take more than is good for them. The butter should be of the best and taken cold. Bread. dry toast, biscuits, potatoes and rice are good vehicles. Children well supplied with butter feel the cold less than others, and resist the influenza better.
 Everything that is said here-and much more could be said in favor of olive oil. Vegetable oil is easier to digest than animal oil, and the danger arising rom diseased condi- tion of the cow is avoided. Many ancient races used olive oil for inter for consumption, and butter for iuunction after a bath. thus reversing our method

uniformly successful farming cannot be carried on one year with another under such conditions. Hence it be- comes necessary to resort to an artiii- cial supply of moisture. With that supply the farmer becomes at once independent of the rainfall, and can depend upon the production of good crops year after year, with the cer- tainty of not encountering any failure, at least. from the lack Of the necessary amount of moisture, and at the same time the farmer finds that a much smaller amount of land need be cuiti- yated with irrigation in order to produce certain results than in the case where the rainfall Is the sole dependence.
 Coming close home. the question at once suggests itself irresistibiy. where would the raisin vineyards, the orange orchards. the alfalfa fields of Cali fornia be today. were it not fer irriga- tion? The answer is simply that they would never have sprung into existence at all Where. too, is there any unirrlgated land, that yields such large returns as those vineyards, or chaFds and alfalfa fields? Where is there alsy great extent of rnirrigated land. five, ten or twenty acres Of which will support family in com fcrt as will such tracts in an irrigated section? Itisa wcll-known fact that certain parts of this state base one of their claims for superiority upon the assertion that 'irrigation is not needed" Yet at the same time those very districts are nov engaged in the work of organizing irrigation schemes under the state laws. They have seen the benefit to be derived from q comprehensive system Of irrigation and are anxious to participate therein. The very fact that the rainfall, here is light and that irrigation must be resorted to. is one Of the most valu- able factors in the progress of the state. Were there an abundadt rain fail. so that artificial moisture was not needed, how would the millions of tons of raiSins and other fruits be prepared for market: Everyone knows that this could not be properly CT economically done by artificial heat. 4 long dry season is an essential for these industries, and such a season must be accompanied with irrigation.
 Suppose the Eastern farmer was told that he could make himself inde- pendent of the rainfall and be assured lof producing uniform crops year after year. Would he not hail such prop ositioa with pleaSures Would he not consider tt Of infinite value? Yet this is exactly what irrigation does. Who then can say that artificial irri- gatlcn can never be as valuable as the present uncertain rainfall. with all it's attendant loss, as much from oyer-abundance as from undue ....., ..,:4.-

Olives vs. Wheat.

The California State Board of Trade has this season published an interest- ing paper from the pen of General x. r. Chipman of Rcd Rlss:E, which con tains some very pointed statistics con cerning alleged danger of over produc- tion of fruit in the semi-tropic region, among which is the statement that Italy annually exports 70.OO0,C03 gal Ions cf olive oil at market value of Sl2o, GOO, ,0eo-greater than the entire wheat crop Of the United States.
 According to Ellwood Cooper the average production Of trees about seven years old is from two to three gallons of olive oil. On that basis the assertion Is not extrayagrnt that in Southern Arizona 100000 acres planted ia olive trees will produce as much oil as Italy now exports. giving our peo- pie au industry of as great value as the wheat crop is to the country. Beyond the oil production the olive itself has a special value as a food product, and is rapidly growing in favor for that use. In Mediterranean countries 1t is staple article oi diet. largely used in lieu of meats, and the time is not far distant when it will be found on every table in America. The consumption in that use will 2bsorb the production ol thousands oi acres, and the owEer of a Southern Arizona olive grove will find himself the lucky posses or cf a constantly yielding mine os wealth.

ITS SUPERIORITY TO DEPENDENCE ON
 RAINFALL.
Eastern Experiments Prove wster Valuable
 When Under Control.
[From The IrrIgalIon Age.l


 A prominent weekly publication of San Francisco, in a lengthy editorial upon irrigation. makes this assertion as its text. Artificial Irrigation, however obtained, whether from arte- sian wells or canals, for the distribu- tion of water over the lands, is never so profitable as that which comes from natural rainfall
 IL is difficult to understand how any one who reads the current literature of the day. or who has followed the wonderful development of California during the last twenty years. could make an assertion of this kind in the face of all the easily accessible facts to prove it's erroneousness. The sim ple fact that the irrigator is inde- pendent of the rainfall and can pro- ducc crops year after year with no failure. which will be granted by every one conversant with the facts, ought to bc enough to turn the scale in favor ot irrigation.
 It is very true that if matters conid be so arranged that there might be abundant rainfall everywhere at the proper season, neither too much nor too little. then there would not be so great profit in artificial irrigation as in dependence on clouds. But no such happy localities have yet been found in the world On the other hand, no farmer need be told of the grievous losses that have been sus- tained because of the failure of Eeed- ed rain and the absence of any other means for supplying the moisture. without which plant growth of any kind must suffer.
 To prove the erroneous nature of the statement quoted, one needs only look at the remarkable success which has attended the experiments made in western New York by A. A. Cole, the originator of peculiar system of underground irrigation. In that case a few acres of formerly barren hillside have been made. simply by irrigation, to yield returns solar superior so any thing heretofore secured in the best soil in the most favorable locations. vet where the natural rainfall vas de- pended upon selelg for moisture. that many have refused Co believe the ac- counts untii convinced by actual dem- onstration. X single acre of land. irrigated by Mir. Coles system. will yield as much a, ten acres not so treated. The value of irrigation is becoming more and more appreciated every year. and the practice is spread ing in sections where, for centuries, the rainfall was the only dependence. How, then, can any intelligent, well posted man say tbat artificial irriga- tion can never be so profitable as dependence solely upon rainfall?
 When the arid region of the United States Is considered the wonder be. comes still greater that such a propc. sition could be stated in all serious mesa. At least a third Of the entire country is included within the limits of what has been designated as the arld region. Within that region the average annual rainfall is rather less than twcn'y inches. Careful obserya- tion shows that while sa,lc crops may be matured with 50 llnltcd 2 rainfall as taat nated, still as a general
