to the Philippines, only in a far
greater measure. These islands

the former instance may be just as

Where factions growing out of
personal enmity are fostcred, there
will ever be strife and discord, and

cipal importance, such conditions

the best interests of any COM

COLORADO TO BE BENEFITED
Through the Government Plan
OF Time and Amount.

OF irrigation, VIII soon hold an eA-
animation in the Office of the Colo
rudo engineer for irrigation experts
to assist in n new work which has
Just been provided for by congress
in the form of m appropriation,
says the Denver Times. An irri-
garion bureau will be established
in Denver or some place in Wy
oming.
There will be about six applica-
tions for three positions to be fill
cd. The date for the examinations
has not been set, but will probably
be within the next few days.
The venture is calculated to do
n vast amount of good for the farm
ers. John f. Field, retiring state
engineer for Colorado, is interested
in irrigation aud takes a great in
terest in the new bureau.
He says: at will enable Colo
RADIO to irrigate double the amount
of land with the average supply of
water and bitches. when well under
way. The system will be a scien-
tific management of reservoir sites
and study of the proper time and
method of irrigating the various
kinds of soil. The head of the
bureau will conduct the expert
ments and Investigations himself,
and will have two or three assist
ants.
Heretofore irrigation has been
sidetracked for mining and real es-
tate interests. The result is large
waste of water and n decreased ir-
rigated area BY not knowing,how
to irrigate their land scientifically
farmers make swamps or produce
sage and cattails. and have to drain
| it or cause the next below to drain.
They are now using an excess of
water, There are about 2,2o0, 600
acres irrigated, while if the farm
ers of Colorado knew more of the
scientific side, fully 100000 acres
could be irrigated with better re-
suits.
In some districts necessity has
been the mother of the invention,
viz: Greeley, and irrigation has
been brought to a higher plane,
In the San Luis valley those with
prior rights ruin their crops at
times by over-anxiety to get all
they can. Many of the states far
mers start the water at night and
do not take care of it.
THE irrigation expert will test
each kind of soil and make expert
mcuts that will determine the best
method and time of supplying it
with water, as well as the amount
required to render it richer. The
farmers will receive the full bene-
fit of these experiments and in a
short time Colorado will have the
finest system of irrigation known
to the civilized world. Congress
cut down the appropriation several
thousand because the venture is
more on the order of an expert
ment, but there is no boubt of the
great advantage of doing thing
in scientific manner.

Germany AMI the Carnlines.

Any one seeking an insi. ht into the
ideas and aims of The German colonial
party encounters at every turn the idea
that Germany must expand over the
sea since expansion in Europe is i'm
possible. 1t is this determination that
iustifies the frequent predictions by
Herr Peters and others that Germany
yet will secure the exclusive control
of Samoa and the Carolines, even if
the cost be war The Kaiser himself
recently has given forcible expression
the general colonial scheme, and the
advocates of the acquisition of the
Carolines say that the possession of
these islands will assist Germany
materially, not only to dominate the
Pacific, but to secure supremacy in
the commerce of the world
The islands, which recent dispatches
say are to be sold to Germany as soon
as the Cortes meets, embrace two
chains, forming, as itwere, a T-square
the Lalrones or Marianas and the
Carolines, including under the latter
the Pelews. Chicago Record.

No need of buying hay caps from
people who sell those things. Get
cheap muslin and paint it.
A tread power, run by big dog or

Whitewash and sulphur.

The San Jose scale ravages have
brought out many new and valuable
spraying mixtures which, while they
possess only moderate value in sub
DUNG the scale, have been found very
effective in other diseases of trees.
The mbination of whitewash and
sulphur is one of these. 1t is fairly
effective against the San Jose scale,
more so in some sections than in
others, but i'll pear blight it has proved
itself of great value. The treatment
consists of washing OF thick ly spraying
the trunk and all limbs with mixture
of two-thirds whitewash and one third
sulphur, the work being done in the
early spring. From present indica-
tions this mixture, with the famous
Bordeaux, will do more than any other
insecticides now available in destroy
ing the various pests of the fruit
grower. Most fruit growers are ia
miliar with the composition of the
Bordeaux mixture, which may be
made at home or purchased from
manufacturers of spraying pumps, as
preferred. When made at home care
is necessary that only the best ingre-
dents are used.

They are all unanimous in their
desire to have "Uncle Sam take all
of the islands, and on this topic alone
they lose their native conservatism
and GOODNESS. They are very sore be-
cause an American ship was not sent
down to take Iloilo. A single ship
could easily have done it. The re-
suit is that business is nearly at a
standstill, even now that the war is
over. Every day new story comes to
hand of sugar plantations destroyed,
and the owners either killed or taken
prisoners. In the islands of Panay
and Cebu, two of the richest in the
country, hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of property has been
destroyed, and all business with the
interior is impossible.
Iloilo, at present, although quiet to
all appearances, is really like quiet
volcano, boiling underneath, but
ready at any moment to break out in
to active revolution. The Catapunin
Society has already organized the ma
tives into potential army. One of
the servants of our host was lieu
tenant in the mysterious army. In
the meantime the revolutionists in the
interior of the island are driving the
Spanish troops gradually back to
Iililo. The town is very badly de-
Tended. There are no Notifications
about it. An old fort without any
guns squats helplessly on small
promontory in the harbor. There are
only some eight hundred Spanish
soldiers on the island; the rest of the
troops are all native borp, and are
undoubtedly involved with the revolu-
tionists. AS ye. the revolutionists in
the interior are badly armed, but sup
plies of rifles and ammunition are be-
ing sent down from Aguinaido's head
quarters in Luzon, and before long
the natives will be we'll armed wi ii
Mauser rifles.
How unreliable the local press is
will be seen by the following abstract,
which appeared on the day of our ar
rival. This extract, which states that
American soldiers are shooting down
Spaniards and natives in the streets
Manila whenever they please, shows
the methods used to deceive the native
population about American govern
ment:

tae yarded fowl of good breed has a

record of 175 or more eggs year. 1t
will be understood that in advocating
the yarded fowls, growing chicks are
not included, but only those that have
been laying OF have just begun. Be-
fore reaching this period the growing
chicks should have the benefit of the
free range to enable them to make
frames on which later, in yards, reli-
ance is put for egg production.
1t must be remembered. however,
that yarded fowls require more and
better care than those on the range if
increased egg production is to be at
tanned. The yards should be not only
sufficiently large to give the fowls
needed exercise, but they should con-
tain, supplied by the poultryman all
that the fowls would naturally find on
the range. That means grains, green
food, meat, grit, water and place to
dust and scratch. This applies TO
winter treatment rs well as summer.
If farmers will but learn to observe
the actions of fowls when on range
and be guided to large extent by
this in treatment of them when yarded
much less trouble will be experienced.
In yarding fowls the best arrangement
is that which will permit of double
yard with the house in the middle.
Two such yards each $50 feet long,
permit of keeping one OF the other in
green stuff from early summer until
frost by sowing oats and rye. This
green food, gathered by the hens
themselves, will subdue all natural in
clination they may have for the free
range and fill the egg basket to over
flowing. g.-Atlanta journal.

the right of women to vote, it. rs GER
tainly enabled many to enter up,
public career which gave them an
por.unity to develop their executive
and oratorical abilities. The woman
orator is no longer an exception, as
was the case few years ago.
Prominent among the women who
believe that her sex has the right to
vote is Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, of
New York City. She is an orator and
stateswoman of rare executive abil-
ity, combined with bright intellect
and an earnestness of purpose. Mrs.
Gait was born in Wisconsin and grad
uated from the Iowa State College at
the head Of her class. At one time
she was City superintendent of
Schools at Mason City, Iowa. After
that she engaged in journalistic work
on the Pacific Slope, and entering the
lecture field was soon offered posi-
ton as State Lecturer for the Iowa
State Suffrage Association. She is
now the Organizer of the National
Association, and has lectured in al
most every part of the country. Mrs
Gait is also the editor of the paper de-
voted TO the movement, and with Ell
nora M. Babcock, another talented
woman engaged in the same work in
New York State, she is doing what. in
her opinion, is right to advance her
sex to higher plane of thought aud
usefulness.

John F. Bass, the Philippine cor
respondent of Harper's Weekly, was
the first American, since the war broke
out, to visit Iloilo, and his observa-
tions there are of especial interest,
since they have been so completely
verified by what has happened within
the last few weeks. Iloilo is the Sec
ond important seaport in the Philip
pines. The island was surrendered
by Gen eral RIOS to the insurgents,
who took possession of the city on the
Goth of December. General Otis had
sent Colonel Potter on fast vessel to
communicate with the Spanish Gen
eral, and to notify him of the COM
pletion of the treaty, and of the fact
that his Government had ceded the
island to the United States. When
Colonel Potter reached Iloilo he found
Aguinaldo's flag flying. This fact
naturally complicates the situation in
the Philippines, and makes the insur-
gents all the more insistent upon the
independence of the archipelago, and
the recognition of the independence
of their Government There is some
suspicion, given expression to by Gen.
eral Merritt, of bad faith on the part
of General Rios; and it may be that
he might have held on until United
States troops reached Panay, the island
of which lloilo is the Fort, to relieve
him and his force. The news of the
surrender of Iloilo reached this coun-
try on the same day on which the
news came of the resignation OF
Aguinaldo's milder cabinet, to be re-
placed by cabinet very much more
hostile to the United States, and to
control of the islands by the United
States, than the old cabinet was.
In his last letter to Harper's Weekly
Mr.. Bass describes his trip from Manila
to Iloilo. He says:

| FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Sheep Need Dry Bedding.

Many people who keep sheep under
sheds on an earthen floor in cold
weather make the mistake of not pro-
viding bedding enough, thinking that
it will interfere with properly packing
the manure which is trodden into a
hard mass by them. But little dry
straw should be scattered over the
floor at night, and it will be none the
worse if it is the refuse Of what the
sheep have picked over during the
day. Even the fattening sheep will
eat some straw as change of food,
and it will select the upper part of the
stalk near the head. Oat straw is the
best for this purpose. The sheep is
very impatient of wet, and besides, it
is injurious to the wool to have it
soiled by manure. If the ends of the
wool are closed by filth this stops its
growth, just as it does on the tags,
which even after they have been
secured are not worth as much as
clean wool from other parts of the
body.
