BY THE CAN SYSTEM
An Interesting Experiment at the
Agricultural College.

The melon patch on the college
farm has been tided over the drought
by what is called the can system of ir-
rigation. This system consists of bury
ing an old tin can, with small hole
punched in the bottom of it, py the
side of each plant and filing it with
water, which seeps slowly into the
ground through the hole. In this way
the plant gets the full benefit of the
water you give It, which as it drips
slowly out of the can, sinks deeply into
the soil, and does not evaporate quick
ly therefrom. We believe that one
quart of water thus applied does more
good than bucketful simply poured
around the vine.
With q well or pumpa at hand, irriga-
tion by the can system may be prsc
ticed with beneficial results and even
to q profit, in the garden, on such
things as tomatoes, melons, cucumber
squashes and corn, wherever the plant
will produce q considerable amount of
fruit. There are some four hundred
vines in the college melon patch, and
one man with handy pump can ir-
rigate these in three hours. One irri-
vines in thrifty state during the dry
est weather. The extra cost of irrigat-
ing in this way lies. for the most part,
in getting the cans and placing them.
To fill them with water is but little
more expense than an irrigation in tn e
ordinary way: and there is this advant-
age gained, that less hoeiDg is requir-
ed to keep the weeds down and main.
tain q mulch ground. 1t would be we'll
for those who have small gardens to
try this simple and Interesting expert
ment. We think they will be pleased
and we'll paid for their trouble if they
will.

however, made the trip extremely dam
gerous, as the ice was likely to become
loosened from the shore and might pre-
vent safe return. The trip was also
made more risky by the foes of ice.
Brown and his associates, however,
used the greatest care to avoid these
danger points in their two-mile trip
across the frozen surface. They did
not lose much time, as the frigidty
OF the atmosphere made it imperative
that they keep on the move to avoid
freezing. Each took turns at the
ropes while the others pushed the pro-
vision-laden sledge. The party trav-
eled at lively rate, and, after several
exciting experiences. owing to wide
gaps and floating ice, finally arrived
with the relief to the ice bound work.

mercury would reach 25 below. and the

diction was made nothing has occurred
to stamp it as a false alarm. The
maximum today was six below, and
the resulting discomfort was accentuat-

the northwest. There were no deaths
attributable to the cold. although frost
bitten faces, hands and feet were nu-
merous. Three people collapsed on the

come to visit his friend. Agoncillo, but
refused to talk further. Agoncillo was

he had sent such telegram and init
mated that they were in position to
prove that Gen. Otis had been ordered
to bring on a conflict so as to force
the peace treaty through the senate.
He said he was being kept pretty well
posted on whatever was being done
against his country.
Agoncillo said further that since war
had been declared it would never be
stopped till the Americans made over
lures for peace. They would be will
ing, however. to have mutual con-
ference The principal reason why
they opposed American rule was from
what they had seen up to now Of
American authority the Filipinos
would simply be slaves. He says he
has sent six kilograms to Washing

reply.

ty-five years. The frost has penetrated
the ground to the depth of four and a
half feet, or within foot and half
of the water mains. The total alb

going down SO deep. Not a little con-
Germ is felt by the city officials con-

double force of men is on duty to see
that the fire hydrants are not frozen
up. The temperature tonight is Is de-
