in the west, the first cost of which is
equivalent to charge Of about $50 per

rams have been utilized in pumping for

WATER FOR IRRIGATION.

Value of Pumping ms Set Forth In n Geo.
Logical Survey Report.
Tho real value Of pumping as means
of irrigation, and the extent to which it
may be employed, are as yet scarcely
appreciated. A great many windmills
and some water wheels arc utilized in
our western states for this purpose, and
little pumping is done by steam and
gasoline. But the value of the water
supplies to DO derived from lifting is
sure to increase greatly as the cheapness
and adaptability of this method come to
be fully recognized. Herbert NJ Wilson,
in report Of the United States goolog-
ical survey, portions of which arc pub
lished in advance in the Kansas Farm
err, says.
at is now we'll established fact that
pumping occasionally furnishes irriga-
ton water moro cheaply than does gray
ity, both as regards first cost of the
pumping plant, equivalent to the cost Of
water rights, and us regards the cost of
maintenance and operation, which cor
responds to the annual water rental or
rate in the gravity system. In pumping,
the source of water supply is more di-
reotly under the control Of the irrigator,
while he is troubled by none of the vex.
atious controversies arising from ques-
tions of priority Of right or of water ap.
preparation, Of time OF supply, and of
rotation in tho bitches, nor is he so like
ly to have his supply cut down in sea.
sons of drought"
In this connection figures are quoted
from report on agriculture by irriga-
ton prepared for the United States
census of 1890 by Il. Il. Newell, which
makes it appear that the average FIRST
cost of water derived from gravity sup
plies for the whole United States was
SSH per acre, varying between 50. 62,
tho average for Wyoming, and $I2. 96,
tho average for California. The average
annual wator rental was 81. 07 per acre,
ranging between a cents in Wyoming
and 81, go in California. The average

the single occupation of tho southern
gentleman is now the last that he would
voluntarily assume In the rich valley
and on the grazing lands Of southwest
Virginia, in parts of Georgia and in the
blue grass region of Tennessee farming
pays fairly, owing to the greater thrift
Of the inhabitants and to the fertility of
the soil. but, on the whole, the progress
of the new south, like that of the rest OF
the country, certainly has not taken this
direction. 1t is through its urban de.
velopment only that the section has
justly earned its sobriquet
New cities like Roanoke, Va, have
sprung up on ground that 90 years ago
was parceled into farms. Antebellum
villages have become large cities, as in
the case of Atlanta and Chattanooga
Old towns like Nashville and Richmond
have taken u fresh lease of life and be-
come rich and progressive. A new rail
road has made the fortune of this place,
new textile or other industry has
caused the growth Of that. And all this
progress has been due to the abolition of
slavery and to the destruction of prop.
erty caused by the civil war. The south
erner of the last 80 years has simply
had to work in order to live, and, like
the rest of tho world, lie has preferred

CHARITY FAIRS.
An Argument to Show why They should
BE Suppressed.

An Argument to Show why They Should
BE Suppressed.
Charity has been defined as this state
of things: That so soon as A is in truu-
bic b begins TO consider whit c ought
to do for him. All charitable fairs, for
instance are based on this principle
You go and buy something which you
probably do not want in order that tho
profit made on it may go TO some good
cause. In case you had really wanted
what you bought you would have per-
hnps bought it somewhere else, and tho
regular trade thus suffers from the loss
of your custom. In case OF very large
fairs, like the sanitary fairs in war
time, the ordinary local trade unques'
tionably suffers perhaps for whole
year. and the community is thus impov-
erished to degree in one way so that
1t may be helped in other ways.
For great national object this can
easily be endured, although, to be sure,
we never have known just what the
regular dealers thought about it. But
when we consider that the same thing
is done 10 some extent in behalf OF every
local or sectarian enterprise. it is eyi-
dent that the principle of the affair Is
Tot quite satisfactory.
Suppose. for instance, that we were
all to agree for single year to have all
our shoes and hats made by amateurs
for sweet charity's sake, " and to have
single church or hospital take the
value Of them all. Then sweet charity
would make an apparent gain no doubt,
but all the ordinary hatmakers and shoe
makers would starve, Or. if they did
not stave, they would be supported by
their kindred, who perhaps are not far
above the starvation point themselves,
or they would be supported by sweet
charity, and the last condition Of things
would be worse than the first. 1t is not
really the fact that the evils of society
can be greatly helped by dressing up
young girls prettily and having them
take money and give rather inaccurate
change at bazaar table. One day, per-
haps, when the laws Of trade are better
understood, we shall look at charity
fairs as we already look at lotteries,
which were once regarded as one of the
highest forms of sweet charity, but
which are now prohibited by law

They were the first to make brooms
by machinery; the first to put up
seeds in little packages; the first to
manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of
curing dyspepsia by resting the stom-
ach. Their remedy is known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t supplies
food in an artificially digested form
and at the same time aids the diges-
ton OF other foods in the stomach. In
other words. by the use of Shaker Di-
gestiye Cordial, a dyspeptic virtually
gets along without the use Of his
