One of the latest fads is the col
lection of portraits Of noted people;
and a very fascinating fad it is, al
so a profitable one,; providing, Of
couse, it does not cost too much.
A new feature in Demorest' S
Family Magazine, commenced in
the April number, is especially
timely, and offers an excellent op-
portunity for forming a superb
collection at minimum expense.
Two pages are devoted to exquisite
half-tone portraits Of celebrities,
quite equal in effect to fine photos,
and about cabinet size, which are
printed so they may be removed
without mutilating the Magazine
and arranged in an album especi-
ally designed for the purpose. This
is to be a permanent feature; and
those interested in making por-
trait collection should avail them.
selves Of this exceptional 'oppor-
tunity, as the portraits furnished
during the year would cost quite
800 in photo form.
It is impossible to specify allthe
brilliant attractions Of the April
number. ''The Santa Barbara
Floral Festival is exquisitely il
lustrated; "The Story of a Lost
Letter" is also illustrated and
gives lots of information about the
United States Postal Service;
many noted people tell in ''Helps
in Many Career" what aided them
most toward success, and their
portraits are given with their
opinions; "Society Fads" will in

Western Irrigation.

Amid the lost splendors of oriental ma
tons of which scarcely more than the
name now remains to US was the science
Of irrigation, and it was brought to a
perfection never since equaled. Here
and there are traces of vast bitches show
ing knowledge of mechanical engineer
ing that is unsurpassed in our age. tits
altogether probable that the nineteenth
century will open on irrigating enter
prises quite equaling those of ancient
Asia and inducing a fertility never ex-
celled in the land of olives, spices and
pomegranates.
California has already tracts Of land
I that demonstrate what can be done with
irrigation in what seemed desert.
Other states are following rapidly in the
same line. In the middle portion of south
ern California is one farm that originally
comprised 100000 acres. It was owned
partly by j. B. Haggin, although it was
too big for any one man to possess all
himself. The idea of the owners of this
vast body of land has been to divide it
up into small fruit farms of from 20 to
40 acres each. The success in growing
temperate zone fruits warrants the state
ment that 20 acres will support family
comfortably. Here will be one way of
preventing the overcrowding of cities.
i The method Of irrigating the 400, 900
acre tract is the most interesting matter
connected with it at present. From
Mount Whitney, the highest peak of the
Sierra Nevada, flows the Kern river,
through Kern county. It is formed from
the melting of the SHOWS on the noun
tain. This river has been tapped by
canals-14 on one side, 10 on the other.
These are the main canals. From them
flow lateral canals to every farm, 1, 100
miles of them. Leading from the large
laterals are still smaller ones, lying along
the line of the farmers fields. The wa
ter is introduced into the fields by fur
rows that lie at close intervals. For
ordinary field crops three irrigations a
season are necessary. One man can man
| age one irrigation ditch, and eight men
and eight bitches can irrigate 1000 acres
day. For all the water you need, the
cost is $3.50 to the acre year.
This is the real way of praying for rain,
and it will probably be brought into
/! requisition more and more in the east as
we'll as west. The Almighty gave man
hands and brains to get all the water he
needs for himself.
