The time win come when Il cane
pasture viii be regarded as the
most valuable possession the
farmer can have, and future gen
erations viii wonder at the reck p
less improyidenco which has burn
ed and destroyed thousands of
acres Of It natural stock food
which ismsurpassed in the world.
OF course the great drawback to
cattle raising in the region liable
to overflow is the fear of inunda-
ton. Probably the safest protec-
ton against this danger may be
found in the erection Of mounds.
Overfows do not come every year,
and our people must learn to be
prepared for such emergencies by
keeping themselves well supplied
with corn and other food stufs, by
which the stock may be kept in
safety during the nigh water
period, at much less cost than
that of feeding and housing them
through long winter, as farmers
in less favored climates are forced
to do.

Action Relating to the Levoa System
Of the Mississippi River.

1t has been shown that the
Leyee system of the Mississippi
river has proven a security to con
tiguous territory in times Of floods,
where such loyees have been ade-
quate in height and mdstrength. The
accumulation of water il that
great channel comes from a vast
area of the West, and all this
region is naturally interested in
providing security from losses by
overflow. The several great
basins surrounding the Lower
Mississippi cover over 10000
square miles Of area, Or l9,000,-
00O acres, Of which over 80 per
cent represent aIluyiaI lands sus-
ceptible Of cultivation. Approx
mately 80 per cent of this area
is within the State of Louisiana.
.25 per cent in Mississippi, 10 pen
cent in Arkansas and 10 per cent
in Missouri. AS yet much of this
fertile region is undeyeloped agri-
culturalIy, partly because Of the
menace of recurring oyerflows,
The annual value of staple pro.
ducts from these localities is now
approximately @5o,0oo,o0o, and
should be expected to increase tc
hundreds of millions in the neal
future, under proper security
from overflow, from waters drain
ING INTO that region through more
than fifteen thousand miles OF
waterways not utilized for naviga
ton, between the Appalachian anc
and Rocky Mountains.
In view Of these facts, and o.
their important.bearing upon the
productive industries not only Of
that region itself but of the entire
country, public policy calls fol
sucb Governmental action as shall
render the necessary protection
which the leyee system can afford
Therefore
Resolved, by the Cincinnati
! Chamber Of Commerce, That th'
pending bill before Congress, or
similar measure, providing for ap
preparation for the proper main
fenance of the levee system OF the
Afississippi River, should be passe(
at the present session. 49,.
Resolved, That copies Of thi
expression and action be furnishes
TO each member of Congress, VIII
is hereby urged to give favorabl
consideration to the matters here
in presented.
Adopted by the Cincinnati
Chamber Of Commerce, by unanl

Some Facts About Wide Tires.

The taIue of the wide tire in
compacting and improving dirt
roads is beyond question, under
nearly all conditions, and their
usefulness in preserving the sur
face and character of welI-con-
structed highwaysis is equallynark-
ed. There is perhaps no easier
and quicker method of promoting
road improvement in most see
tions Of the country than by Sc
curing the general adoption of
wide tires
The tests of wide tires made by
Prof Waters, of the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station,
at Columbia, Mo-, show that
wagon tires six inches wide are
from fifty to one hundred per cent
better for all farm and draft pur-
poses than the narrow tires in
ordinary use. He had noticed
that water, at first following only
wagon tracks, often wore great
bitches and rendered fields use
less, and that country roads were
affected in the same way. A series
of experiments was thereupon
made on macadam, gravel and dirt
roads, meadows and pastures,
stubbIe lands and plough-Iands,
wet and dry.
On macadam roads it was found
that 2,482 pounds were hauled
with broad tires with the same
draft as 1000 pounds with narrow
tires. About the same advantage
was found on gravel roads, except
when wet and sloppy On top, On
good dirt roads $3.50 pounds on
WIDE tires gave the same draft az
1000 pounds with narrow ones.
On muddy clay roads, drying ON

HIS REPORT is ENCOURAGING.

Senator McCandless, at the request
of "A number of people who are suffer-
ing from the drought has made a thor
ough examination of the possibilities
of well boring in the North KohaIa
district on Hawaii. The Senator is
thoroughly satisfied that well boring
operations will be attended by success
and that should wells be dug the big
plantations will in many cases be able
to defy the drought, which had such
disastrous effects upon their crops last
season.
