 compact that the greater part of the water rushes off, and in a day or two the orchard Is in worse condition than before, for the moisture which did not penetrate the soil for more than an inch or two evaporated, and the sur face becomes compact and baked. By making two or three wide shallow basins few feet from the trunk of the tree we can save all the water that falls in them. and by making a few ditches much of the water that falls outside could be led in and saved"
 Professor G. H. Fuller says lack of water is reducing the area cultivated in Kansas. The question Is not simply of putting in one or few crops that have their long and regular period of seed time, culture and harvest, but to select a variety that will most fully occupy both the farmer and the soil Crops in which skill in growing. harvesting and marketing count for much are chosen. The farmers in that portion where wa ter is within easy reach by windmill pumps seem in a fair way to rank the highest in intelligent effort to make the most out Of the forces and appiian nces with which they work. This is one of the compensations of irrigation, The same amount of land may be made to yield much greater returns. but to do this more thought must be given the work. The people of such regions be- come weil-to-do, not tu-s say wealthy: they are refined and-educated. Irrikat- ed countries sustain . greater portion per square mile. The people are col lected in villages and hamIets. Their great variety of productions gives them a good living and an opportunity to make their surrdundinss plsesait and artistic. ;, .,.ss s :, 5 Z Farmer Pafx cf 41Fatu&ton qpanty.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Augustus Cooke, an enterprising Ger
man farmer and an ardent Christian Of
fetal of st. Paul Church, died on Wed.
nesday morning after suffering about
two years from a strange disease which
started by the swelling of the glands in
the neck and afterwards poisoned the
blood so that the body shed white
scales. A strange coincidence is that
he should die of the same disease which
caused James E. Smiths death on
whose farm he has resided since Mr..
Smiths death.
The disease started by his becoming
overheated while blowing with a spirit
ed horse which lie had to hold back
with the lines around his neck, and
afterwards sitting int draft while cool
ing off. A stiff neck came first, then
large tumors whir- were twice cut out
at the University Hospital. The cut
ting seemed 10 the poison of the
disease to spread through the body.
Mr. Cook was a whole-souled Chris
tian who manifested the workings of
the Spirit during surgical operations
and on his dying bed. He was con-
scious on Tuesday that the end was
near for he told those near that he
would be singing sweeter songs tomor-
row. The funeral will take place this
Saturday morning.

THE GAM M

The people around Paulsboro' have
been very much stirred the past week
over the GAM mystery. On Friday a
party graphing in the Creek below the
Railroad bridge brought up a piece of
cloth resembling a coat lining and later
a piece of flesh was brought up which
DR.. Reeves says was torn from a human
neck.
On Saturday a piece of rope to which
was attached a bunch of black hair was
found on the hooks. This find is
thought 10 bear out the theory that
GAM was murdered and the corpse
weighed and sunk in the Creek. Owing
to the severe storm this week the search
could not be continued. A diver has
employed to solved the mystery at the
bottom of the creek.

THE BOROUGH QUESTION.

1t has been estimated that there will
be about $4S6, 900 worth of property in
the proposed borough limits. $29S, 600
being real estate anil S1sS, 600 personal
property. The petition for an election
to decide for or against incorporation
requires the signatures of property
holders owning one.tenth of the real
estate. The petition to be presented to
Judge Reed, who orders the election,
was circulated this week and signed by
persons owning about two and a half
times the required amount. After
Judge Reed orders IN election notice
1t has to be published two weeks 10 the
RECORD. The election cannot he held
soon enough to hold the election of
borough officers, on town.neeting day
in case 1t was carried for incorporation.
The enthusiasm for the borough
seems to be decreasing. Some Of the
heaviest property owners are shy OF it
or bitterly opposed to 1t. Since some
have seen the township laws codi6ed
and just out 1t has become known that
the township committee has power to
light streets, appoint special officers and
other things necessary for the better
government Of the people, without 60
ing to the expense of another set of Of
fcials. All the people have to do is to
let their wants be known and money
voted for it at town meeting. AS the
foot paths are now in good condition
the Committee has wisely recommend
ed in their report that the $500 usually
appropriated for foot paths also include
this year street lights. Undoubtedly
there are persons who will light the
street lights put in front of the resi-
dence II the lamp aud oil are found.
