Some Good Ideas ON Putting in an Irri-
ga'ion Plant.
The following by r. r. Gaskill, taken
from the Hennessey Clipper, has some
good ideas on putting in an irrigation
plant:
If 1 were going to irrigate 10 acres of
level land / would make my reservoir
IN the center extending from one side
to the other, eXcavatiug about 20 feet
wide, raising the entertainments about
four feet above the level. After the
excavation was completed I would
thoroughly pUlZeriZe he inside surface
of the reservoir, then let in water suffi-
clent to make stiff mortar, with which
would puddle the bottom aud sides of
the part eXeavated. The embankment
will not need pudding, as it will be
sufficiently sOlifed by process of plac-
ing it. I would then situate a 12-fo0t
vauelesS folding mill at each end of
the reservoir, with a I inch cylinder
and 2-inch discharge pipe, and would
connect float 10 the throw ont wire
VI llrH nllis 81 tudJ Wien the RESERVOIR
is full the mill will go out of the wind,
and when the water recedes it will
commence operating again. At inter-
yals of 200 feet l would locate at either
side of the reservoir box outlets. not
less than / inches Inside Dimensions,
which should be 6 inches above the
level of the land TO be irrigated aud
connected with the elevated bitches.
The elevated bitches must be at right
angles with the reservoir. and the crop
planted at right angles with the ditch.
The water should be permitted to ran
to the end of the elevated Ditch. thea
open it between the rows to be irri-
gated; the flow from a 4-inch stream OF
water will carry force enough to extend
to the end of the rows. When suiiici-I
emily watered. dam up the elevated
ditch and SO continue until that divi
sion Of the land is properly served, and

balance.

PLENTY OF MOISTURE NOW
The Wet Snow and Rain Of Saturday
Guarantees a Big Wheat Crop.
OUTLOOK BRIGHTER THAN EVER.
The Soil in Fine Shape for the Growing
Wheat and Rye and the Planting Of
Spring Grain and Corn.

1t sometimes rains in Kansas, and
last Saturday and Saturday night were
one of the times.
Friday morning a stiff breeze began
blowing from the northwest, which, &C
cOmpanied by an unusual amount of
Manitoba dust, gave everyone the blues
and sunk the bouyant spirits of even
the most hopeful to the deepest depths
of dependency. Not because the soil
was void of moisture, for it was not,
but because high winds were one of the
characteristics of the springs of 1893
aud 1894, both unfruitful years.
After "a hours of dust it began snow
ing, varied now and then by sleet and
rain. This continued until night when
drizzling rain set in which continued
nearly all night.
The amount of moisture that fell is
difficult to compute, but as the sod is
thoroughly wet to the depth of six
inches it must have been considerable.
The wheat has never looked better
than it did prior to this storm which
has put it in shape to grow steadily for
at least another month without suffer
ing. The outlook now is brighter than
ever for spring grain aud corn, and
a much larger acreage of these cereals
will be the result.
Another feature of this storm is of
much interest to the careful observer
of the weather which gives more prom
Use of fruitful year than all other in
dicatiOns. Cldtimers will remember
that the storms of every wet year have
come from the northwest and in the
dry years from other points. This fact
was observable in the fruitful years of
1891 and 1892, when nearly all the rain
storms came from the northwest. This
storm coming from that point so early
IN the season makes safe the deduction
that more will follow and the coming
year be prototype of 1891 and 1892.
There is no doubt that the fortunes
OF northwestern Kansas have again be-
gan the ascension of the hill of pros.
perity and this time there will be no
retrogressiOn. The past two years of
failure have been a lesson, dearly
learned, but wholesome.
The climatic conditions of the sun
shine regions are peculiar unto them.
selves. A system of farming that
might have proved successful in the
more eastern states are MOI adaptable
here. There always will be more OF
less barren years in this part of the
country and provision for them should
be made. Irrigation has shown the
solution Of the problem of existence in
barren years of man, and the ashes of
consumed straw stacks point out the
means of subsistence for the kline and
beasts of burden.
Conditions are a great teacher. and
the hardships undergone by the people
Of the west during the past two wears
have quickened their faculties of per.
ception and have made apt pupils of
the most pblegmatic.
When another year of failure comes
1t will be found TO only retard, not re-
trograde Sherman county's progression
toward the summit of success.

A Snow PIOw Turns SnmersauIt Without
scratching the Crew.
Engineer Leeman, who is noted as
one of the most daring engineers in
the employ of the Rock Island road,
passed through a thrilling experience
in attempting to buck a great mass of
Ice that had collected in a cut near Ii
mon. The engineer had charge of a
monster snowplow and 125 passengers
witnessed his daring attempt to clear
away the obstruction.
The passengers stood on the hillside
and saw the snowpIow run back dis
lance Of two miles for a plunge into the
barrier. The engine came forward at
full speed with the momentum of 90
miles an hour. There was crash, the
air was filed for hundreds of feet with
chunks of ice aud the iron monster had
come to "a dead stop in the middle of
the railway cut. a second engine was
hitched to the rear, the pillow was drag
ged out and Leeman prepared for an
other plunge. This time he had a clear
track for three miles before striking
the ice body. An engineer who wit
messed the result declared that the
speed at the moment of contact was
sixty miles an hour Leeman stood at
the throttle. When the debris cleared
away the snowplow was lying on its
back and the engineer was securely
hugEiHg the front of the cab, the entire
outfit having turned a complete somer-
sault. Neither engineer nor engine
