Our first small order of the
Manarch Bicycle is about ex-
hausted. We have sold eight
of these wheels-think of it,
eight in little over a week.
There must be some reason for
this large sale. We think it
must be that merit wins, and
that the Monarch must be one
of the best, if not THE best
bicycle yet invented. Anyway
we sold them and they must
be good wheels. Speaking of
our selling the Monarch, we
wish the people of Honolulu to
know that the Hawaiian Hard
ware Company are the only
authorized agents on the Ha-
waiian Islands and we have
received a communication to
the effect that we will be pro-
tected in this territory.

AN INTERESTING SUBJECT.
What Irrigation Has Done and
What it VIII Dc.
San Antonio Express.

But little is heard Of organ
lied efforts being made in the
counties of Southwest Texas to
obtain irrigation and this cir
cumstance would indicate that
the people are not yet aroused
to a just appreciation Of the
incalculable advantages to ac-
crue from irrigation.
1t is evident that campaign
of education is necessary. 1t
will require precept upon pre-
cept, line upon line, here lit
tie and there a little, to arouse
the people to combine together
for the obtainment Of irriga-
ton. 1t is a difficult matter
to get people to quit the
grooves in which they have
always plodded along and to
cordially embrace a new pro
.ject with zeal. Irrigation of the
soil in arid and sub-humid
countries has been practiced
with greatsuccess for thousands
for years. The truth is that
Egypt owes her fecundity
to the annual overflow of
the Nile, which happens every
near the same season OF the
year. Canals and bitches have
been dug from the Nile in
order to increase the area
covered by the inundation from
the Nile The overlooking Of
the Nile is in effect irrigation Of
the soil and may, therefore, be
cited as an eXemplification Of
the very great advantages flow
ing from irrigation. From the
twilight of history to this hour
it has never been known to
rain in Egypt. Thunder and
lightning are unknown in that
country. Egypt was the gran
airy of The nations Of antiquity.
The Bible tells how Jacob and
his family abandoned their own
ADMINISTRATOR country and re
moved into Egypt, where pro
visions were abundant. After
the Romans conquered Egypt
the corn with which to feed the
idle, turbulent and mutinots
populace of Rome was brought
from Egypt and distributed
gratutionsly by the government
in order to keep so dangerous
an element quiet. After Egypt
was recovered from the grasp
of the Cloths, corn was obtained
from that country to feed the
idle and mutinous populace Of
Consiantinople until the No
hamedans .overran and conquer
ed Egypt. The country has
steadily declined in riches and
population under the blight Of
Mohamedan rule, but there
has been no falling off in the
wonderful fecundity of the soil
which is wholly owing to the
overlooking of the Nile
Irrigation has been also Prac
ticed Ill India and in China for
thousands of years. In Italy it.
has been practiced for centuries
with the happiest effects. The
irrigation bitches cut by the
Spaniards in San Antonio over
a century ago, no doubt stiff

be transported in wagons from
Mexico and to do this occupied
several months at least.
With adequate water fol
irrigation a crop failure is an
unheard of event. Crops OF
large yield are certain year in
and year out This has been
the uniform result in Egypt,
India, China, Syria and Italy,
Where there is 10 need OF
irrigation, floods of rain often
partially blast the hopes of the
husbandman, since an excess
of rain is almost as fatal to
crops as are drouths. Where
the soil is entirely dependent
upon irrigation for moisture
and formulation, there are no
floods of rain to be apprehend-
ed and Il 'ountry is indepen
dent of drouths.
This would be the fortunate
condition of Southwest Texas
in case it enjoyed irrigation.
The soil is sufficiently fentile
to produce remuneratjve crops
and the climate is all that could
be desired. In addition to corn
and cotton Southwest Texas is
admirably suited to fruit and
grape culture. Vegetables and
melons would yield large crops.
Tobacco and hay could be
proiitably grown. TWAS form
erly said that cotton was
king, but the statistics dis
closed the startling fact
which had never been dream
ed Of by the devotees
at the shrine of cotton, that the
value CT the hay and the pou1-
try crop of the United States,
singly, exceeded the value of
the cotton crop. Could Texas
contrive to grow her supply OF
hay on her own soil she would
retain at home for purposes of
improvement and investment
many millions OF dollars an
nually expended for Western
grown hay. With irrigation
five crops of Johnson grass hay
could be mown in the year of
of one piece of land, and there
is no hay that is more nutritious
and palatable. Both horses and
cattle not only are very fond
Of this hay, but thrive upon it.
The writer used this hay in
Alabama and speaks from per-
sonal experience and observa-
ton. Now, an acre Of Johnson
grass ought to yield with irri-
cation a ton st each moving,
making five tons in a season,
or 10000 pounds of hay, which
when baled would sell ut dol
lar per 100, or @10O per 10000
pounds. My belief is the yield
per acre with irrigation and our
late frosts would double the
above estimate, as with the
needful moisture Johnson grass
is 8 very rapid grower in a
Southern climate. Even at five
tons to the acre it would be 4
very safe, cheap and profitable
crop for the farmer to grow;
since every ten acres in this
grass would fetch $1,000.
