KANSAS IND UTAH.
Irrigation of tile Arid Lands in the Two
States.


Engineering Record.
The effects OF lack of irrigation
possibilities in Kansas and the realiza-
ton OF them in Utah has within the
past year been very pointedly illus
trated. a considerable portion of
Western Kansas has proved to be essen
TALLY arid land, and although it has
been for some time settled by con-
siderable farming population, season
after season of drouths have rendered
crop raising a failure to such an extent
as to place the farmers in many cases
in actual want for subsistence.
1t il perfectly well known that irriga-
ton of this land would make it most
protitably productive, and while it is
believed that there is sufficient ground
water in many places to remedy the
evil it has not yet been found practicable
to utilizeit
In Utah, on the contrary, extensive
irrigation systems have been completed
to such an extent as to render produc-
tive large tracts of land which have
been heretofore arid. As result, a very
considerable percentage of the popula-
ton of the seniarid portion of Kansas
has abandoned its holdings in that State
and re-established itself upon the irri-
gated land of Utah, one county of
Kansas having lost as much as 1000 of
its population. 1t has for some time
been evident that the wealth of large
portion of tile West and Southwest
must he created primarily through irri-
CATION, and more demonstrative evidence
has seldom been furnished than in this
case

Offers Along tho Brandywine.


1t has been many years since an otter
has been shot along the Brandywine,
but a number of persons claim there are
at least a couple living along the stream
in this locality. For two or three years
strange animal has been frequently
seen at the forks of the stream, below
Shaw's bridge, and those who have seen
1t give description answering perfectly
that of an otter. A similar animal has
also been seen below Birmingham Park
recently and last spring many pounds
Of shot were fired after it by hunters,
but none Of them made any impression
upon it. a few years ago pair of the
animals were reported at the dam at
Cedar Knoll, but trappers who used all
their skill could not succeed in capturing
either Of the two.

POULTRY H00SE LOCATION.
Grass Run or Sand Bank--The Latter Sc
lectcd.

American Agriculturtst.
The one consideration of greater i'm
portance than all others in deciding the
location Of the poultry house is the
character of the soil. OF two locations
One the pest grass run in the world
but stiff clay soil, the other sand
bank where grasshopper would starve
Il would select the latter. The want
of grass run can be overcome, the
cold, sticky clay, mud-pudding in a
wet time, and hard baked as brick in
dry times, cannot.
The main item in the expense account
of the poultryman is labor; every step
saved in doing the work is SO much
gained. Yet Between two locations, one
wet and the other dry, the dry one
should be selected, even if it entails
many more steps; the losses which
would occur from having the house in
the wet location would great deal
more than pay for the extra labor.
These losses would come from several
sources, chiefly in impaired health and
consequent unproductiveness OF the
flock. Many would be sick necessitating
constant care, eggs would be few, chicks
Matched would lack yigor, die, or make
slow growth and understood fowls, in
| fact, there would have to be constant
! struggle to offset the effect OF the wet
soil The sandy soil dries quickly after
rain, snow lnclts more quickly, il
warns quickly in the sun, every shower
purities it by washing all impurities
through it. Better have no fowls than
to try to keep them on wet or heavy

Whisper, when they hear the bell
Tolling from some gray old steep!e,
Deaths familiar tale to tell;
When they hear the organ dirges
Swelling out from chapel dome,
And the singers chanting surges. ..
"Heimgangm Always going home.
Heimgangl Quaint and tender saying,
In the grand old German tongue,
That hath shaped Melanchthon's praying,
And the hymn that Luther sung;

Still we journey toward Goods Acre.
"Heimgang Always going home.
Heimgang We are all so weary:
And the willows as they wave,
Softly signing, sweetly dreary.

With its dregs or with its foam,
And the tender words are spoken,

The Question Raised as to Whether 1t
Is an American Characteristic.

10 hh AnhcttGah
The Medical Record of last week has
the following upon the question: SIS
Gluttony an American Characteristic I"
DIR, Dana could not agree with DIR,
Sexton if he meant to imply that over
eating and gluttony were at all charac-
teristic of the American of to-day--that
was to say, the educated American, the
type we were developing in this coun-
try. 1t seemed to him the tendency of
the times and of the race was to eat
rather less, and lie believed IL would
become still more so. A neurotic peo-
pie, he thought, would have to live
simply and ON a small amount in order
to retain their health, and the Ameri-
cans appeared to be learning that fact.
His observation had been that it was
rather hard to get children of nervous
temperament to eat enough. They
often left the breakfast table after
having eaten very little, and they ate a
light dinner. He did not mean to say
they carried this to an unhealthy
extent, but he certainly had not
seen gormandizers among children of a
fairly healthy neurotic type. When one
did see gormandizing in child 1t was
almost always sign of degenerative
faint in that particular person. 1t was
a perfectly well-kuown characteristic of
the epileptic and imbecile or partially
developed children, and he supposed, as
DR.. Sexton had suggested, that german
diZing was some evidence of atavism
He also thought the paper was quite
correct in teaching that we, as neurUtic
race, who lived on the nerves aud drew
largely on the brain, must cat plainly
and simply. The only point where DIR.
Dana differed from the author Was, that
he thought Americans had found this
out largely, and did live in that way.
He had always thought that the Ameri-
cans stomach was a great safeguard to
him; it was delicate, and he soon found
out that he could not eat excessively,
drink excessively, nor smoke excessively.
He could not do as the Germans and
English.
DR.. Peabody remarked that the Ger
mans had no term expressing dyspepsia,
and agreed with Dir. Robinson that'they
probably had better beer if not better
food.
Dir. Dana said he had not stated that
the Germans had dyspepsia, but he
thought that if the same classes here, as
lawyers and teachers, should cat and
drink rs they did in Germany, they
| would get sick.

Shall not rest me there

Because the sunset sky
Makes music in my soul, ~"
Only TO fail and die, y.
Shall not take the whole
OF beauty that it gives .........
While yet it lives? .
Because the sweet of youth
Doth vanish all too soon,
Shall / forget, forsooth,
10 learn its lingering tune
My JOY to memori2e
In those young eyes?
If like the summer flower
That blooms-a fragrant death
Keen music hath no power
To live beyond its breath,
Then of this flood of song
Let Inc drink long
All. yes, because the rose
Fades, and the sunset skies
Darken, and winter blows
All bare. and music dies
Therefore, now Is to me

Startling Discovery in "a Police station at

Just come to light that bomb has been
lying in the Office OF chief Of police for
several weeks. 1t appeared to be u
gian. tire-cracker and was brought
there by a German who found it near
the Oliver Chilled Piow Works. 1t
excited SO much comment that Captain
Cassidy opened it and found that it
contained powder and stick of dyna-
mite four inches long.
Had it, from any cause exploded,
it would have destroyed the station and
other property, and killed a number of
people. The intention may have been
to blow up the station, but this is un.
