Proposed Organisation Of Irrigation
Districts.

Hon. ]. II. Crowley has our thanks 70,
q copy Of Representative 0ordon's bill
entitled IAN act to provide for organisa.
ton and government Of reservoir and
irrigation district in the Arkansas valley
to aid in construction and completion ol
reservoirs and state canal No. l." Sec. ]
provides that when 100 or more of the
holders Of land desire to provide for the
storage Of water they may propose the
organization Of q reservoir and irrigation
district. By Sec. 2 q petition shall be
presented to the county commissioners.
The board shall divide the irrigation dis
trict into five divisions, with director
for each. Sec. 8 provides for the election
by which the irrigation district shall
be established, and Bees. to IL for the
election OF officers OF the district. Secs.
u and 13 prescribe the duties Of the board
OF directors. Secs- IA to 16 provide for
voting bonds with which to construct ir-
rigation works, and Secs. II to 50 regu-
late the assessment Of land for the use of
water. Other sections describe the dut-
les and powers OF the directors. The last
section recites that nothing in this act
shall be construed as repeating or mod
flying the provisions Of any other act re-
lating to the subject Of irrigation or
water commissioners.
While this bill was introduced by Mr..
Gordon, it is the joint work Of himself
and Hon. J. Fl. Crowley, and is largely
modelled after the California law which
has been in successful operation for
years.

A Marrow Escape.

The Roseburg Plaindealer. OF the 22d,
says: "Alex Livingston, fireman Of
Engineer Stroud, yesterday had q mar
row escape from serious injury. While
between Cresswell and Walker, he was
rearranging some wood on the tender,
and while doing SO lost his hold and
fell to to the ground. The train was
running is miles an hour and had
gone about half a mile before Mr.,
Stroud missed his fireman. He stopped
hls train as soon as possible, and on
looking back saw Alex coming along
the track toward the train. He was
uniniured and commenced Aring at
once. The accident occurred at nearly
the same place where Fireman Hogan
was killed few weeks since, the en-.
gine being the same, No. 40, as was
also the train crew.

Mr.. Eddy, an organizer of the

in this city, this week, looking to the
location of q lodge. He interviewed
several Of our citizens, but from all
reports, he must have gotten "the cold

ran of with Populistic follles, but
they draw the line at the ghost Of the

American idea should find no place

Agricultural Editor.-In your COL
umns under date of December 6 Of
not mistakenly there was an article re-
ferring to seed corn, and the doctrine
there taught was in direct opposition to
those usually accepted among farmers
that | have known. The idea ad-
vanced was the rejection of the tips of
the ears for seed, because the kernels
on the tips are small, and therefore if
used in a machine the drop would not
be uniform, and again, such rejection
would result in improving the crop be-
cause of the selection of the larger kerr
nels. | regret that / did not save the
paper so that the same words might
here be quoted. Whole ear or none, is
the idea modelled according to the mind
of one of our farmers who objected to
the cutting off of pigs tails. " Whole
hog or none" was his saying. AS corn
has been cultivated in this country by
our forefathers for nearly 300 years,
some may think at this late day that we
ought to know all about corn and its
culture; but from the blade to the full
corn in the ear, l believe it full of mys-
terry. We know that every kernel on
the ear has its individual silk. We also
know that different kinds of corn grown
in close proximity, provided they flower
and silk at the same time, will mix, and
every one who has had much to do with
corn has seen fields where it was the
exception to find ears we'll tipped out,
except with cob, and this tip in such
cases had to be broken off when husk-
ing. Now believe that there is such
an intimate relation existing between
silk and tassel that, where the whole ear
is not planted for course of years, the
fertilization is not complete; and that
where the tips of the ears are persist
emily rejected as seed, we in a short
time will have piece of cob on the end
of every ear, instead of corn on the end
of every cob. l, therefore, am fully
persuaded that seed corn should be
saved with reference to the entire ear,
and that the whole ear should be planted

proved every day with swine, which
fstten rapidly on pea meal, or on the
oil cake of nuts or of meat; but very
slowly on potatoes, arlichokes, or beets,
though the latter are much richer in
starch and sugar, but less so in protein
or in fat.
Still further, all observations upon
our domestic animals accord in show.
ing that the fat and the protein of fora
ges suffice to explain the formation of
the fat found in the animal or its prod
ucts, without any help from the hydro
carbons. Some sweet or starchy foods
may, it is true, in certain cases, appear
greatly to favor the accumulation of fat
but this is in the case of a ration in
sufficient in respiratory principles; or
in which great part of the fat and the
protein of the food is compelled to
serve for warmth, instead of being as
simulated.

than one thousand dollars capital and
shouldering a debt of over two thou
sand dollars. AT this time there were
two of the high-style farmers living
within sight of my home, with large
farms, well stocked, all modern I'M
provements in tools, etc. They always
kept an abundance of help, were very
prominent in town and county affairs,
did considerable business for other
people, and were called among the fore
most farmers of the region. They
made large claims as to the quality and
quantity of their products, and, indeed,
to all appearances, were what might be
called successful farmers. What was
the sequel? One of these men took his
diploma from court of insolvency, the
other perhaps was entitled to first pre-
MUM, for stealing,a march on his credit
ors, saving to himself something that
would have paid some of their claims.
In each case the farms went into the
hands of the mortgage. Well, l
plodded on slowly and patiently, paying
one hundred cents on the dollar, prac-
ticing industry and economy, and max
ing the farm pay until it has paid up
the last cent of the mortgage some years
ago; and have made some comfortable
repairs, kept up the farm, and have just
bit OF pocket money. | am quite sure
there is way to make farming pay.
Some people seem to think almost any
man can be farmer; that it is rather
low calling, and none of the brightest
men follow the occupation. But, in my
opinion, the successful farmer must and
does have just as sound judgment,
good financial and executive ability as
does, the lawyer, doctor, merchant
or manufacturer; and if there is any
class of people that can take solid com.
fort and bid defiance to financial, com
mercial or political disasters, it is the
farmer who is well out of debt. All
this time real estate has deprecated in
value, so that on an average it is not
more than One-half the value that 1t
was twenty-five years ago. Perhaps
it has touched bottom now; not that the
outlook seems so be more prosperous
for farmers, but less for other trades,
and so more demand for farms.
