the question as to where the silver
republican vote will 90. Partisan
howlers cannot console themselves
with IA hope that these boys will stay
at home on election day, for they all
carry a bootleg full of butcher
knives, and there is no ground for
such hope.
1t is possible that this vote may be
equally divided between democrats
and popnIists, in which case those
parties will stand 493 and
o4l respectively, thus giving the lat
ter a clean plurality of IS votes,
which in this county is a strong bull
wark to run up against.
But the peoples party has bid for
the silver republican vote. 1t has
even gone so far as to resolve itself
into the peoples silver party, and has
%atually nominated seven of the stron-
gest silver republicans on it's tick
ct, out of a total of Is offices to be
filled. One representative, the sher-
if, clerk and recorder, clerk of court,
assessor and one commissioner are
the importact Offices which have been
g%raciously and gratuitously rendered
the white wing of the republicans.
This is the stroke of policy which
characterizes the populists for wis,
| dom above their fellows.
The burden of probability is that
almost all the votes of the silver
reps will be thrown to the peoples
ticket. And barring ii few demo
cratic candidates who may, by strong
personality run ahead of their ticket,
the peoples silver ticket has the best
Of the field.
Conclusions: /. The Mckinley
republicans can not hope to elect
IA single candidate.
2. The democrats may possibly
land a man or two, but have little
chapce to stave off a total wreck.
3. The peoples silver ticket is the
strongest of all, with a sure.thine
adherency of $40 votes, probably
more, but certainly no less, and the
chance of election upon that ticket
are ten to twenty-five per cent. bet
ter than upon any other.

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY

The peoples party convention
proved itself equal to a great
emergency when it named seven sill
yer republicans to places of promin-
ence upon the ticket. The leaders

ty of a life, and embraced it. A no
litical body of 300 or $50 voters,

houndered about with a bob-tailed
ticket, completely stunned, and una
BILE to e the glorious opportunity.
AS to the silver republicans, two
things are generally true. Their first
love is to defeat the county republi-
can ticket. Their second love is to
defeat their time honored foes, the
democrats.

FORECAST OF THE BATTLE.

The silver republicans of this coun-
ty are untrammelled by party pledg-
es and are free to vote as they please
in all county matters. And they are
quite IA significant factor, too, when
numerically considered. Reckoned
by the precincts represented in the
boiling delegations, basing calcula-
tons upon the vote for congressman
two years ago, the republican vote
which has left the party numbers as
follows: three-fourths of Townsend.
thrce-eighths of White Sulphur
Springs, and all of Neihart, Castle,
Barker and Snow creek, which on
the above basis amounts to 3l1 votes.
And this is a moderate conclusions;
for there is no evidence that the bolt
crs do no represent their constitu-
ents: and while all republicans repre-
scented in the above number NAV not
taboo the regular ticket, it is undehi-
able that IA sufficient number from
other precincts will show sympathy
toward the boilers to raise the num-
Der as high or even higher than 81.
The republicans of Meagher coun-
ty two years ago cast 1l3 votes. The
peoples party came next with 3S3,
while democracy brought up the rear
with 33o votes. The remainder of
the republican vote after subtracting
the silver vote is 1906, although cal
cuIations based upon the reports of
the various primaries over the
ty would indicate the number of Nc
kinley republicans as less than $50.
1t is safe to say that none of the
BIZ silver republicans will vote the
gold republican ticket, and nobody
else, except a gold republican, will
make such a break. Then 1906 is the
highest vote that ticket a receive.
which is not enough to elect any
body.
The contingency which hangs over
the election, then, consists wholly in

The "persons of ability whom the
Neihart Miner chooses to boost for

really too many Jims on the ticket to
appeal o the voters of the county.
We look upon everybody who bears
the name of James with decent re-
spect, but do not believe in turning
the affairs of the county over to him.

will be only IA lot of .Iimcrows,

IRRIGATION.
SURFACE AND sUslRRIaATloN.

@ettaF ReOultS From Surface Irrigation.
SabiRrlSatiOn Much More Expensive.
Much has been written on this sub
jeCt. The assertion is made and reiter-
Rted that Subirrigation Is far superior to
surface irrigation, the idea being ad-
VanCed that water reaching . plants
roots after having passed through the
soil is much more effective in producing
plant growth than that which reaches
the plant from the surface; that water
coming in contact with the stalks Of
plants Is detrimental to plant growth.
To find ont the results and differences
Of these different methods experiments
were begun in 1890, under the auspices
Of the Utah experiment station, and have
been carried on for five years.
In the plats trenches were made and
were laid some with cobble rock drains
and some with cement pipes. In each
case the pipes or drains were put so that
three Of them would divide two rod
plat in such way that the seepags
from each pipe would have to reach the
same in each case, that the plat might
be wholly soaked This was brought
about by running one pipe or drain
down the center Of the plat and two
others, one on either side Of the center
one and II feet from it, This would leave
81 feet for the water to soak each way
from each pipe or drain, that the whole
ground may be soaked. In the pipes, at
intervals Of eight feet, holes were made
In which were inserted small wooden
plugs, in which also holes were made,
very small at first, but in 1893 these
holes were enlarged by boring the plugs
with a quarter inch bit. Over each Of
these plugs there was placed an oyster
can inverted, SO as to keep the soil from
stopping the holes in the plugs.
The results as reported in q bulletin
hhow that subirrigation is far behind
the surface irrigation in yield of either
grain, straw Or hay. 1t is also made to
appear that the rock drain did much
better than the more expensive cement,
Eile or pipe.
Following is brief summary of the
whole matter;
First, On poor clay soil containing
gravel, with the cobble rock drain, or
on q better clay soil containing some
sand, with the cement tile, the subirri-
cation was not so good as the surface.
Second. experiment covers ten
trials, and in every trial but one the
surface irrigation gave the highest
yields.
Third. -During irrigation the soil
Immediately over the rock drains or
the plugs in the cement pipes was over
saturated, while that between the drains
Of pipes and between the plugs in the
pipes was very dry.
Fourth. On the soil of the station
farm the system Of subirrigation has
proved an utter failure for grain or
grass. On soil containing more sand it
may be possible and is highly probable
chat better results can be obtained.
Fifth. The system is so expensive
that It Is doubtful whether it could ever
be applied to general farming. The re-
suits are 80 discouraging that none is
advised to put it in except ON q small
scale for trial.

some ground thoroughly in the winter
season, If you have the water, 80 as to
have the help of the frost in mellow
ing and subduing the soil.
1t Is q good thing to flood new ground
that you have just prepared, if you
have the water. 1t will show just
where you need to put the finishing
touches in the leveling process. I'm
less the ground is very moist, it is well
to irrigate your ground before planting
any small seed or grain. The plants
come up quickly and get good start
the seeds Sprout evenly and fewer fail
to come.
Having your crop once we'll started
and kept thoroughly cultivated, fur
ther directions may be condensed in
the simple admonitiOn, "Wster when
ever 1t is needful." 1t would take col
umns of details to attempt to specify
all the minute as to time, stages and
conditions of growth of different crops
with reference to putting on the water.
Any husbandman Of experience can
tell when his crops need rain. Having
his reservoir always full, he simply
proceeds to bring on shower when
ever it is needed, and just where it is
needed.
Some crops may safely be flooded, as
alfalfa, the small grains, onions, etc.
but with others, notably maize and
Irish potatoes, it is very important that
the water be kept we'll down in the fur
rows between the rows, and not allowed
in any case to rise about the plants.
Most important Of all, it should be
borne In mind that, important as
is irrigation, thorough cultivation
is still more so. To soak up the
ground time after time, only to let it
stand and dry out as hard as q brick,
Is to waste seed, water, time and labor.
A thorough irrigation tends to compact
the soil. Unless the surface is thor
oughly stirred at the proper time, the
ground, unless it is very sandy, be.
comes very hard, evaporation is rapid
and plant growth is retarded, or even
smothered out.
1t takes prompt work, and a great
deal Of it, to till the ground at the
right stage after each irrigation, but
1t pays to do it, and the farmer cannot
afford not to do it. 1t will lead to his
handling less ground, but he will get
enough more off the area titled to
amply compensate for the extra labor.
After all, is 1t not better to thoroughly
fertiliZe, irrigste and cultivate an acre
of ground and get q whopping big
crop off 1t than to spread out a great
deal more Of labor, time and seed on
ten acres and get only as much of a
harvest as off the intensiVely titled one
acreP
If the ground to be irrigated Is roll

veyed in bitches which curve about to
