VALUE OF IRRIGATION.

1t EIeva ties Agriculture from DrudRery to
n Scientific Pursuit.
The truth is that irrigation is not
only positive advantage in the econ
omy of agriculture, but that it goes far
beyond the mere agricultural processes,
and exerts far-reaching influence upon
industry and society. Acountry which
is naturally arid, and which has then
been brought under proper system Of
irrigation, will differ very materially
in the quality of its civilization from
the country which receives only rain
from the sky, and depends altogether
upon that source for the moistening of
its fields And there could be no bet
ter illustration of these principles than
the Kern delta of California. Here a
vast estate of 4OO,OOO acres has been
brought under system of irrigation
remarkable for its simplicity, and the
influences to which / have referred
will work out their results here # any.
where.
Let me first refer to the must OBJ
vious advantage of irrigation, which
may be readily understood at once.
This is the fact that the irrigation
canal sl1irting the edge of the farm
constitutes an insurance policy upon
tho crops. Men insure their lives, their
houses and barns, and their cargoes
in transit across the sea. Why should
they not insure the crops on
which their existence and prosper,
lty depend? OF course this is an
other form of insurance, since Ere in
surance does not necessarily prevent
liability to destruction, but compen-
Bates the loss. Irrigation is higher
and better form of insurance, since it
prevents the possibility of loss. But
this is the smallest and narrowest view
of irrigation, although every farmer
will readily understand that it is
worth a great deal to him to know
that his crops will be secure against
failure by drought or flood year after
year.
The first effect of irrigation on the
agricultural industry is to elevate it
from the plane of mere drudgery to
that of skilled labor. It is higher
forlu of industry, just as fine cabinet
making is a higher form of industry
than the telling of trees in a lumber
camp, If the farmer has a rich soil
and ample sunshine, and he can then
apply the rain just as he needs it,
with nice sense of the differing wants
of various vegetables, trees and field
crops, he has the basis of scientific
farming. 1t is essentially new indus
try, or at least new and higher form
of m old industry. We have only Boz
gun to understand the possibilities oi
scientific production from the soil by
means of irrigation.-W e. Smythe,
IN Colman's Rural World.

Eject of rood ON the Yolks.

When raw meat is fed to the hens in
large quantities the yolks are some
times colored in several shades. often a
few spots like drops of blood appearing,
but this is not the case when the meat
is cooked When corn is fed largely
there will also be deeper color to the
yolks than when it is not used. This
coloring of the yolks does not denote
that a dark yolk is richer than one that
is lighter, as color does not influence
quality, but is the effect of the color
ing matter in the food; yet, as there Is
preference for deep yellow yolls, we
see no objection to accommodating the
buyers. SO long as they are willing ts

Wheat That Rea,sts Ru.t.

Pisciculturists, who look forward
hopefully to the evolution of the bono
less shad, will probably derive sonic
encouragement from the fact that a
new rust-resisting variety of wheat is
being eagerly sought for as seed by
Australian farmers. 1t was noticed py
a farmer in South Australia several
years ago, while reaping a badly
rusted field of wheat, that among it
were some heads wholly unaffected.
He picked and carefully saved then,
and sowed the grain the next year. IT
yielded well and showed no sign of
rust. From that beginning the stock
wac increased until twenty acres were
raised last year. the crop of which was
taken at good price.

Piercing Cold Adds to the fortunes of

WINNIPEG, Dec. GA dispatch from
Regina, Northwest Territory, says the
house of William Thompson, a farmer,
burned yesterday morning, the inmates
barely escaping in their night clothes.
Mrs. Thompson and two children we're
badly burned. One child died shortly
after being taken from the house. Plac-
ing his wife and the remaing child in the
hen-house. Thompson set out for a neigh
boris, a mile and a quarter away, having
only some rags around his feet, being
otherwise made, although the thermom
eter was 80 degrees below zero. He
reached within 100 yards of the neigh
boris house when he fell exhausted and
almost frozen stiff. Fortunately he was
seen and was carried into the house and
cared for. When assistance reached
Mrs. Thompson and child, frost had
added to the torture of their burns. and
it is doubtful whether they can survive.

ANACONDA, Dec. GA special to the
Standard from Fort Benton says: Pow
ell Landusky, Familiarity known as Pike,
was shot and killed by Harry Curry on
Thursday afternoon in the mining camp
which bears the name of Landusky, on
the south side of the Little Rockies.
Friday a courier brought the news to
Harlem, on the Great Northern, and
Under Sheriff Buckley and Coroner Cul-
bertson were summoned by telegraph.
They left at once for the scene of the
shooting.
Pike Landusky was an old timer in
Northern Montana, and was the discov-
erer and half owner of the famous Gold
bug group of mines in the Little Rockies
just above the town of Landusky. Harry
Curry and his brothers had claims ad,
joining Pixies mines, also a ranch near
the ranch of Mr.. Landusky. They had
been neighbors for nine years but were
enemies for Fume two years past. Be.
cause of bitter feeling each carried a gun
and a shooting scrape was expected by
those who knew them. According tc
intelligence just received it seems that
Harry Curry and Pike had a meeting
and quarreled on Thursday and both
drew guns, Landusky pulling first. He
showed his revolver close to Curry's face
and snapped but the cartridge failed
Curry fired a second later and Landusky
fell, dying in twelve minutes. Landusky
was about fifty years of az and leaves
a family. Reports from the scene ART
very meagre.
