SALIENT POINTS IN IRRIGATION.

Presented In an Address Made Before a
Convention of Nebraska Farmers.
At an irrigation convention at North
Platte President Fort made an address,
in which occurred tho following salient
points: Stoppage of prairie fires and
promotion of forestry arc intimately con-
nected with irrigation. By comparison
with Colorado fully 60 per cent of Ne
braska's lands may be irrigated. A large
proportion of Nebraska irrigation will
be by pumping. The cheapest form is
the Chinese system Of sliding water
up hill" in a trough with paddles on
an endless chain or rope Horse, wind,
steam or any other power may be used
for this homemade continuance. Proba-
bly, the cheapest power that can be OBJ
tanned will be the water itself, and ny
draulic rams where light fall can be
given so as to work these machines will
deliver water cheaper than any other
class of water lifting appliances The
bucket elevators are claimed as cheap
and efficient
The centrifugal and rotary pumps
will lift large quantities Of water
cheaply. They arc not liable to get out
of repair, provided strainer prevents
chunks of wood or gravel from getting
into the machine. Either will lift sand,
mud or fine gravel, especially the GEN.
trifugal AS they arc not liable to get
out of order and have but few working
parts they are to be recommended as
good machines for lifting water They
must, however, be worked at high
speed to secure the best results, and
must therefore be attached to gearing
Probably the cheapest and most econom-
ical water elevator is the current wheel.
This has one set Of stationary buckets,
or paddles, that are struck by the cur
rent of the river or creek, that turns the
wheel, and set of adjustable buckets
fill with water as they revolve, and on
reaching tho highest point are tipped
automatically, and the water is dis
charged into trough, which conveys it
to the land
1t is doubtful if any cheaper power
will DO discovered for lifting water than
+he water itself, unless it be the wind.

Whom 1t Has Helped.

The Aew Tariff law, the Tariff law of the
reformers which was to gladden. the heart
OF the American farmer and fattcn the
pocket-book of the American mechanic. has
been in operation for six months.
The law is now old enough tn be studied.
1t has been in the statute book long enough
TO show results. Every American knows
what the Democratic promise to repeal the
Mckinley law brought upon the country.
The promise has been kept. Now, what is
the effect OF the promise SO kept?
The effect is wide and startling. 1t in
,ludes new public debt, low wages and
small profits. This can be said generally,
Specifically 1t can be said the manufact-
nrers in England and on the Continent of
Europe are daily increasing their sales in
NE United States. Goods are coming into
American ports by the ship load. This is
good thing for the National Treasury, but 1t
Is bad thing for American labor, A bar
of iron made in England and sold in this
country deprives some Americans OF wages
which are theirs by right.
The new law, therefore, is not filling the
pocketbook of the American workman but is
smptying it. This is fact that can be
proved by democratic figures set down in
Washington and gathered by democrats
from democratic custom officers.
The new law, the law Of the burden lift
ers, has been, we have said, in effect six
months During the eight months just
passed the American farmer has been
gradually but surely squeezed out of the for
sign markets with his staple products. He
has lost market for 47,5OO,OO0 worth of
his wheat and for 32, 900, 900 bushels of his
sorn. The price of cotton has fallen two
and e.quarter cents pound, and foreign
sales show decrease of 1, 100000 bales.
The Democratic Tariff law, therefore, has
Aelpsd the foreigners but it hasn't helped
any Americans but those who have been
appointed to collect the income tax.-The

get their full development and be taken
directly to open ground without another
transplanting. For earliest crop, how
ever, we want very large, very stooky
and well advanced plants. and we pre-
fer to set them first three inches apart,
and then, when thoy havo reached the
size as shown in accompanying illus
tration, to larger distance, say, not
less than five inches, if we can possibly
spare the room. Thus they are left to
grow, and by the time that they can go
into the open ground, some time in May,
earlier or later according to season and
locality, they will be in bloom, and per-
haps with fruit already set.
In the final transfer to open ground
large chunks Of soil are removed with
the plant and great care is taken to dis.
turb the roots as little as possible.

the rush. The knowing ones therefore
lose no time in starting plants and take
such early varieties as the Ruby, Ford
hook, New Imperial or the older King
of the Earlies, Earliest Advance and
others of that class to give ripe speci-
mems in 1870 or 1876 days from sowing
the seed.
The seed is sown early in good seed
bed in sunny window, greenhouse or
hotbed.
For the first transplanting of these
seedlings the soil need not be of more
than medium richness. As T. Greiner
saws in American Gardening; We don't
want forced, sappy growth. Seedlings
that are short and stocky and stiff can
go through the transplanting process
without receiving much of a check,
even without whiting. The tomato
plants, about three or four weeks after
sowing seed, are pulled up from the
seed bed. having then the general ap-
pearanoe represented in the first illus
tration. This shows plant of the po-
tato leaf type in natural size. The soil is
well moistened, and the plants are then
carefully lifted out by prying under
them with small trowel or other tool.
Thus, with all the fine roots intact and
perhaps a little soil still adhering to
them, they are set firmly in other flats,
or directly ON the benches or in hotbeds,
about three inches apart each way.
Moist soil should always be firmly
pressed against the roots Of the little
plant, and if this is done the latter will
hardly feel the transfer.
Concerning the second transplanting
Mr.. Greiner says: In some cases we set
the plants, at first shifting far enough

Facts For Democrats.

Editors and stump speakers:
A few short years ago you said tin plate
sOuld not be made i'm this country.
You ridiculed every plant that was
established.
You said they were erected for campaign
purposes.
You said it was all being done for politi-
cal effect.
You lied about the matter and deceived
your readers and hearers.
You said tin plate was not then made and
never would be made in this country.
Now what do you think of it?
There are now 1876 tin plate mills in oper-
alton or under construction in the United
States.
and there are fifty-eight more projected.
And now for some figures taken from
democratic records.
The aggregate output of the mills now
md soon to be in operation is so, 900 boxes
each per annum.
This means an aggregate output OF 1880
300 boxes in all.
When the projected mills are completed
lhe total annual output will reach $3.50, 600
boxes, are enough to to supply the home
market.
That, Mr.. Democrat, is the result of re-
publican protection.
1t is a result of legislating in the interest
Of America and Americans.

head at the growth of this infant Industry.

A BIG LAND DEAL.
MISSOURI CAPITALISTS INVEST OVER SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
 LAND NEAR LITTLE ROCK.
Last Night-Leonard and Craig Buy 17.6OO Acres From the Farrell Lumber Co.,,
 For se1, ,s60.

Seventeen thousand acres of land in Pulaski and Saline Counties have been sold at $3.5O per acre, says the Little Rock Press.
 This big land deal was closed in this city at late hour last night. The parties in the deal were the Farrell Lumber Company, of this city, and Leonard and Craig, rep resenting wealthy bankers and brokers of Missouri. These gentle men bought from the Farrell Company 17,50O acres of stripped land lying between Wrightsville and Hensley. 1t is one of the largest land deals made in this vicinity for many years, and if the report that the purchaser intend to settle families on the land is correct, it means that Little Rock will derive much profit by the deal. The land was sold at $3.50 per acre, the total amounting to $61, ,250.
 Messrs. Leonard and Craig have been in the city several days, but the deal was not consummated until last night. They returned to Missouri this morning, but will come back here Wednesday.

 A member of the Board informed a GRAPHIC reporter that property, on all average, in this County, was not assessed at one-third it's value, and that while the Board realized that nearly all the assessments were entirely too low, it had sought to equalize rather than raise them.

At an early hour this morning Dep uty Sheriff Harris, of Ionoke county, was shot dead and his father-in-law a man named Stifft, was mortally wounded with a Winchester rifle in the hands of a white man whom the officers were endeavoring to arrest.
 The story, us learned by GRAPHIC reporter from parties who came in from the scene of the killing, Is as follows:
 Some weeks ago a white man. whose name our informant did not remember, escaped from the county jail at Dewitt. The man fled to Lo- noke county, and his whereabouts was discovered by Deputy Sheriff liar ris. The escaped prisoner was traced to an old and vacant house about three and one-half miles from Eng land.
 This morning Deputy Sheriff Har- ris and Mir. Stifft, who is also a dep- uty, repaired to the house to arrest the escaped prisoner. They found him and called upon him to surren- der when he seized a Winchester rifle and opened fire on the officer. The first shot struck and instantly killed Harris, and at the second report of the rifle Mr. stifftfesl to the ground mortally wounded. The murderer then took to the woods and made his escape and up .tS the present time has not beensapprehended.
 LATER-The last news received from Englanlsis to the effect that D. H. Stifif8sas died from his wounds and that the murdereris surrounded in the woods near the scene of his crimes, and it is believed that his capture will be effected.
