SCIENTIFIC IRRIGATION.

is only an uncertain substitute for in
dependent soil moisture by irrigation.
The sources of artificial water supply
are so numerous that there is no me-
cessity for any section of the country
suffering from lack of rainfall. Run
ming streams can be tapped by con-
structing gravity canals; springs may
I've easily developed, and their waters
utilized; wells and cisterns can be
pumped of their supply by windmills
and other lifting devices. When once
acquired, water-right is worth more
than the land it irrigates, even in the
sections where rainfall moisture is
depended upon for soil food. Gardens
and small-fruit orchards and vineyards
are especially benefited by irrigation,
even though there is an abundance of
rain for general field crops. The scien-
tific application of water at the exact
time needed solves the long -mooted
problem of whether or not the garden
pays for any except the professional
market feeder. Many abandoned farms
in the east could be reclaimed and made
TO pay as well as desert lands are re-
deemed in the west and converted into
earthly homes of paradise.
Several systems of irrigation are prac-
ticed, but probably the most general
method is the furrow plan. This con
sists in main canal, which carries the
water to the head, or highest point of
the land, where it is divided into smaller
laterals and conveyed by them to the
burrows. These small burrows lead the
water along near the roots Of the trees
or plants, and after passing through
the entire lot, empties into waste
ditch, which carries it into creek or
other stream, to be used again by the
farmers below. The time occupied in
irrigating given era depends upon the
kind of crop and nature of the soil.
In ordinary garden soil containing
much manure and little clay small
stream may run from one hour to three
times that long on a row eight to twelve
rods in length. In most sections it is
advisable to make irrigating burrows
not more than 90 rods in length, as the
ends next the ditch, or main canal, get
too much water from soaking while the
stream is finding its way to the lower
end of the furrows.-Joei Shoemaker,

rector of the Office OF road inquiry at
Washington, is more specific in his pre-
dictions. In a paper quotednt the same
meeting he snys; a"Undoubfedly. the
wearing surfaces of stone or asphalt

HELENA. Mont, June 1.-Reports of
the killing of several men by the Chey-

not verified. 1t is not believed that
anyone was killed except sheep
herder named Hoover, whose murder a
week ago caused the excitement. The
settlers and cowboys determined to

Cheyennes an object lesson to
deter them from similar acts
in the future. They sent all the
women and children to places of
safety, armed themselves and congre-
gated near the agency and demanded
the surrender OF the Indians accused
OF numbering Hoover. The Indians
armed themselves and made threaten
ing demonstrations against the whites.

earlier days can testify to this. The

Another thing which may not be gen.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

New. land is best adapted to the
growth of berries.
Fruit trees or plants will not take
care of themselves.
Annual pruning largely avoids the
necessity for removing large limbs.
Grapes thrive best in weli-culti,ated
and well-drained land.
No fruit repays judicious pruning and
trimming better than the pear.
Make quality rather than quantity
the principal aim.
Having the orchard trimmed up keeps
the trees bearing well.
Cherry trees must be grated enrly
If good results are expected.
Choose young, thrifty trees. with
good roots and straight, clean tops.
All trees that have roots or tops
bruised or mangled should be dis
carded.
In setting out a tree. save some of
the top soil. especially to put around the
roots.
Mulching prevents the early flow of
sap by preventing the ground from
warming up too soon.
Nectarines and apricots can be
grown anywhere that the peach or
prunc will thrive we'll.
Either red clover alone or clover and
orchard grass is best 10 be used in seed
ing down the orchard. 4F
Do the grating before the buds swell.
The stock and scion must unite before
the buds need the stored-up nourisi.-
ment.
1t is better for the tr9ls while they
nre growing TO raise ho}d crops among
them, SO the trees will get the benefit of
the cultivation.-St. Louis Republic.

Irrigation is being adopted by the sue

srs throughout the world. The fact
hat water can be applied to fruits and
vegetables at any time required Is
enough argument to convince anyone
Of the value of irrigation. Thorough
tests in the rain belt regions have DEM
,rstrated that irrigation makes better
favored products and more than doubles
the yield. In this sense the application
OF moisture by the hand of man has be-
come a science. Although practiced
for the past 5000 years, and a
necessity in the production of crops
in two-thirds of the world, irrigation
is but little understood by many Of the
