THE practicability of water stor-
age was demonstrated the first of
this week when the Carson COmpa-
ny, which owns water reservoirs in
Alpine county, CAL, at the head of
the Carson river, turned loose sever
al thousand inches of water for the
ranchers in Carson Valley. The
ranchers paid very small sum to
the company, but the company has
shown that it is practical thing to
store water for use for irrigation.
Many of the ranchers in the valley
were afraid that their crops of grain
would be total loss, but the water
received from the reservoir has
saved the crops and put many hun
dreds of dollars into the ranchers
pockets. The company now organ
lied is only working on small
scale, so it can easily be seen what
great good could be done in storing
water if the State would only take
hold of the matter in business
way. Other States have accomplish
ed great deal in this line, and Me-
vada could do the same She could
we'll afford to spend half a million
or million dollars to perfect
water system that would furnish
water to irrigate all the fertile lands
in the State. The land is now
worthless, but with water upon it it
would be taken up and cultivated
and made taxable property, from
which enough revenue would be OBJ
tanned to more than pay for the cost
ofputting water upon the land.

THE war seems to be at stand
still, and so do the peace negotia-
tions. Spain finds it hard to come
to our terms, but she will have to
do it in the end. 1t is our opinion,
however, that it is poor policy to
give the Philippines back to Spain.
If the time has not already come
it soon will, when the United States
will have to take her stand in the
settlement of international ques-
lions and be considered one OF the
powers. With the PHILIPPINES be-
longing to US this country would
be in strong position to negotiate
business or war matters with all
other nations, and Uncle Sam will
never again have the opportunity
of taking the islands into camp so
easily. The Philippine Islands are
rich in resources and if owned by
us would add immensely to the
trade of the Pacific Coast. This
may be the reason why Mckinley
inclines to giving them back to
Spain. There is no doubt that it
would be costly. for time, to hold
the islands, but they would be
great revenue producers for us, and
in the long run would pay for
themselves thousand times over.

A HINT FROM BOSTON.
mand for Permanently Good Roads
Has Now Arrived.

People who travel on their wheels for
long distances into the country at this
season frequently find the mud of con-
siderable depth, even when the dust is
blowing in the city.
The bicycle will not have performed
its first mission until the roads in one
place are just rs good as the roads in
any other place, and the roads at one
time of the year just as good as at any
other time of the year.
The people who live in the country,
until quite recently, had alphabetically
settled down to the conclusion that
country roads must, of course, always
be worse than city streets, and worse in
the spring of the year than at any other
season.
But this is conclusion of mind that
the advent of the bicycle has disturbed.
There is no reason in the inherent con-
dition of things that the city should
have any advantage over the country
in the matter of public tloroughfares;
and it has been often demonstrated that
it is possible to make road that shall
not be a mud river in the spring or a
dust-cloud in the summer. Agood road
is as good at any time of the year as an
other, barring those unavoidable sea-
sons when it is drifted with snowbanks.
All modern cyclists should demand
thatall roads should be uniformly good,
and uniformly good at all times. 1t
will be some time, of course, before this
demand can be universally complied
with, but the time has now arrived
when it is not an extravagant demand
to make.-Boston Globe.

lied the cremation of the late Phra

and the expenditure on these gifts must
have been most lavish. In a pavilion

Raising Calves for Veal.

While we believe under present con-
ditions in keeping for cows all the
heifer calves that promise to he good
mixers, there are many even among
the heifers that show by thick necks
and other signs that they are better for
meat than for milk. Nine-tenths of the
male calves should also be fattened and
killed. 1t takes so much milk to prop
erly raise or fatten calf that many
will not do it. Yet if fed with part skim
milk and partly with a porridge made
of oatmeal sifted, the calf can be fat
tened until it is two, three or four
months old with profit for all the feed
given. Most calves are killed too young
Their veal is not good by law until it is
four weeks old. 1t is better still when
it is eight or ten weeks old, if it has been
fed so as to keep growing.-American
Cultivator.

SHORT ROAD SERMON.
Would Make Great improvements
Possible Everywhere.

It is constantly being remarked in
conversation and printed in interviews
and editorials in the papers that bet
ter roads are very necessary, but that
they are too expensive-the commu-
nifty is too poor to do anything, and
there the matter ends.
This need not be SO. There is hardly
a town or county in this country III
which the money now annually expend
ed is not sufficient to procure much bet
ter road surfaces than now exist, while
a very slight increase in expenditure
would make great improvements pos
sible.
First. Road taxes must be paid in
money and not in labor. Good results
have never been obtained by working
out road taxes and it is not in the ma
ture Of things that they should be.
Whatever is to be spent on the road
must be available for use in the en-
ployment of experienced help under
intelligent supervision.
Second. Proper grading must'be Sc
cured, hills reduced and filings made
until no steep hill exists that the farm
er must load for" every time he hauls
over the road.
Third. The bed must be thoroughly
drained, or a good surface will be i'm
possible, and the surface must enable
the water to flow off readily. Nothing
ruins a road so quickly as water stand
ing on it or soaking into it.
crowned enough to shed water, and
must be kept in condition by system
of regular repairs and continuous over
sight.
Fifth. After good surface is Sc
cured by the above methods, it must
be preserved and maintained by per-
hitting only the use of wide tires on
heavi]y-laden vehicles, thereby con-
tinually rolling and improving it,
