JAPANESE TREATY.
President Cleveland Attaches His
Signature

Washington, March 2S.-President Cleve-
land signed the proclamation of the new
japanese treaty on March q, and the fact
was made public at the state department
today. The only change made in the
treaty since it was published by the AS
ISOLATED Press. is the amendment made
allowing the treaty to be terminated on
six months notice at any time after it
goes into effect. Some question has arisen
whether by a misuse of language the
Senate had not failed of its purpose and
had not really so worded the treaty that
it could not be terminated until it has
been in effect twelve years. While the
treaty as proclaimed shows some ambig-
ufty 1t is believed that the intent of the
Senate has not been baked and that an
early termination is practicable IL it
should become desirable.

GRADING AN AID TO IRRIGATION.

For alfalfa-growing sandy land is
more desirable than clay loan. Che
blowing should, if possible, be done IN
the fall. In the spring, before seeding,
the land should be carefully graded to
a surface so even as to obviate the
necessity of the irrigator ever 10 step
into the growing crop to force the
water with the shovel. Whoever neg
lects to do this will, when too late,
have abundant and unceasing cause to
repent his folly The labor and cost OF
grading land at the outset are in
Intestinal compared with the aggre-
gate labor and loss incurred IN irrigat-
ing rough, uneven land twice or thrice
each season for an indefinite term OF
years. After grading, and Immediately
before sowing the seed, the land should
be flooded. Irrigation at this stage
serves a threefold purpose. First, It
reveals the high spots if any remain
and these should at once be wor2ed
down and irrigated. AS soon there
after as the ground Will bear working
the seed SHOULD be soWn.
