The Irrigation Decision.

The decision Of the Supreme Court
of the United States affirming the val
idity of what is knowa as the Wright
irrigation law OF California is of far
reaching importance to all the states
and territories in which irrigation is
necessarily practiced as a means OF
successful agriculture. The case came
10 the supreme court on two appeals
one from the United States Circuit
Court of California, which had held
the law un constitutional, and one
from the State Supreme Court OF Cali
fornia, which had held the law valid.
The decision of the circuit court was
reversed, and the decision of the state
supreme court affirmed.
The Wright irrigation law provided
for the creation of irrigation districts,
the construction of irrigation canals
or other works, and the levying of as
sessments on the lands benefited to
pay for the same. A number Of dis
tricts were formed and bonds issued to
large amounts to aid in the work. A
Mrs. Bradley refused to pay her as
sessment under the law, and secured
an injunction in the United States
Circuit Court to prevent the sale of
her land. The constitutionality of the
act was called in question, and on this
issue the case went up to the court of
last resort. Its determination not only
involved the validity of the law, but
the validity of the bonds also.
In delivering the opinion of the
court Justice Peckham held that the
use OF water for irrigation IN the arid
region was a public use, for which the
legislature OF the state had the right
TO provide, and that it had the right
also to tax the lands benefited That
there might be inequalities in the law
did not affect fine principle at issue
that was matter Of legislative corr
rection. The validity OF the law was
therefore sustained in an opinion Of
great force and elearness.
There can be no doubt but this
opinion will have the effect of eatly
extending the irrigation system of Cal
fornia. II this district system works
well in that state, it is not at all i'm
probable thBt it will be proposed in
other states, and the practical result
will be an immediate extension OF ag-
riculture by irrigation in all of the arid
region.-Denver News.

Mr.. j. d. Andrews who farms a

held up by two footpads on Friday
night last. They taxed him $500, ell
the money he had on hapd, for collec-
tiCn expenses but did no further injury.
The men were evidently familiar with
the premises and caught the old man
urawares as he entered the house with
bucket of water from the well. Both
were masked ana one carried gatling
CUR which be thrust into Andrews face
and threatened to turn the crank unless
he put up or shut up. The old gentls-
man had rifle cannon of his own hang
ing on the wall, but it was speedily dis
moupted and thrown over the rampsrts.
As time was no obj ct with them they
refused his watch and other identifying
formula, but efore Roipg they locked
him in the houee and said sta, ia, psrd"

not even sixty-fve-year suspect. In
fact, old age carries itself better now
than it used to. People take more
pride in their personal spp earance, es-
pecially the women. l WAS just think
ing about neighbor whose visits are
always welcome-who comes with a
smile and never says bitter or fool
ish thing. She is said to be old, but
she still is beautiful, and sits in her
chair with the graceful ease of young
matron of the olden time. She has
had trouble. but hides it in her heart,
and is always calm and serene. Would
that we could all grow old as grace
fully and give as much pleasure to
those around us.
But some folks are born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward, and I am one
of them about these times. The old
COW wanted grass, and it has all dried
up, and so she broke into my potato
patch and eat off all the vines; and
the Colorado beetles got into another
patch and just cleaned up all the leaves
before I found it out; and the dog
scratched a bed between the madeira
vines and the wall of the veranda, and
1t hasent rained enough in nine weeks
to run in the road, and my garden has
dried up, and the city fathers won't
let me irrigate any more because water
is getting scarce. The penalty is $50
fine. but the mayor told me confden-
TALLY that I might irrigate on the sly,
but I musent be caught at it. Like
the negro preacher told his congrega-
ton that they must never be cotched
stealing chickens. So, now when 1
steal water I do it darby, at dead of
night. with one eye on the hose and
the other on Sandy Wikle, the water
man.
But my comfort now is in nursing
and amusing our little grandchild.
Her mother has gone off on fishing
excursion for few days to recuperate
her health, and she gave me the child.
I say gave her to me because she loves
me better than anybody, and that
makes her grandma jealous and f1atters
my vanity, and satisfies me that I am
neither old nor ugly, nor is my voice
broken nor a melancholy crack in my
laugh. In fact, can still sing "Husb,
Ny Dear" and "Julianna Johnson
with sufficient melody to put the little
darling to sleep. 1 can answer that
old song, "What Can an Old Man Dc
But Die?" by saying that he can take
care of the grandchildren while the
mother has gone a fishing. -BILL ARP,

ALFALFA FOR HOGS.

It will sustain life and produce some
growth in shoatS. 1t will not make
them fat, but it will keep them in con-
dition to make good use of little ex-
ira feed. One acre of good alfalfa,
with a dividing fence in the middle, so
that as soon as one part is eaten down
the pigs may be changed to the other,
will support twenty pigs from the mid
die of May till the first of October, or
q little later, providing the land Is
properly irrigated and the work Is
done Systematically. Counting upok
alfalfa to furnish the sustenance ra-
ton. the addition of grain will produce
good, heavy porkers, which will return
a good profit, providing the price in No
vember is four cents or upward. AL
falfa Is also of great value in wintering
brood sows. If the leaves which drop
off in the mows, and which are unfit for
horse feed, be saved and mixed with
bran or slops, they will be eaten greed
ily with good results, making valu-
able saving of other feeds.-American

COMMERCIAL MELON GROWING
UNDER IRRIGATION.

The watermelon delights in a light
sandy soil, while it's companion, the
cantaloupe, succeeds best on clay loan,
or at least a heavier soil than the for
mer, says Frank Crowley, of Colorado
Both do best on the new land, ana as
this is about all exhausted that is I'M
der irrigation in this section some plan
of renewal must be adopted. We are
having very good success by allowing
the land to produce a good crop of corn
every other year, but it seems the best
results will be obtained by blowing I'M
der alfalfa sod and growing about two
crops of melons in succession on the
same land.
The ground for melons should be irrt-
gated during the winter or early spring,
so that when plOwed and narrowed IN
April il will hold moisture long enough
to bring up the plants. seeds of which
should be planted about the first or
Mayor after the soil has become warm
enough to hasten termination. The
burrows for irrigation are made before
planting, and should be run in the di-
rection the water will run most readi-
ly, the tools generally used being either
single shovel or siX-inch diamond
plow For watermelons these burrows
should be about nine or ten feet apart,
and the hills about eight feet in the
row. Cantaloupes need less room, and
six by four feet will do very well.
The planting is usually done with a
hoe; hole about two inches deep is
drawn out, into which five or six seed
are scattered when the seed is replaced
and firmed a little with the back of the
hoe. When this is accomplished the top
of the hill should be on level with the
land, and the seeds about on level
with the edge of the water when it
comes slowly down the furrow in irri-
eating during the summer. Then the
plants when they come up should be
near enough the brink of the furrow to
get their roots thoroughly saturated,
but never be flooded. The ground be-
tween the rows should be kept free of
weeds and we'll cultivated, while the
hoe should be brought into frequent
use around the hill, and when the
plants get large enough to judge of
their vitality they should be thinneG
| to about two or three of the strongest
standing two or three inches apart in
the hill.

DR.. WILLIAMS. Sir:-My wife bas
been a sufferer from rheumatism for mora
than three years, suffering at times with ter
rible pains in her limbs, and other times
with severe 'crick" in her back which
causes great agony. She spent much for
physicians and medicine, but secured only
temporary relief; finally she concluded to
try Pink Pills. She has taken eight boxes
and can say from the first one she has i'm
proved until now she is almost entirely free
from pain, and has grown much stronger
and feels confident that. by the blessing Of
God, they will effect permanent cure. We
take great pleasure in recommending them
to our friends.
