ARTEsIAN WATER. ].

The protracted drouths in many
sections of the country this year have
called more than usual attention to
methods of artificial watering. In
fact, the art OF irrigation is encroach-
ing to a considerable extent into the
domain of the humid zone. The ex-
|aperiments which the government has
been conducting in South Dakota
have awakened there en- intense in
terest in irrigation and its possibili-
ties. At Fort Meade in that state
the authorities have been sinking
artesian wells, and instead of having
to bore to depth of 1000 feet. as
was anticipated, a splendid flow was
encountered at q depth of 500 feet. It
is generally believed that this is the
average depth at which water will be
found, and this being the case, farm
ing in the Black Hills country will be
actually revolutionized, that section,
with suae supply Of water, forming
one of the most desirable agricultural
fields in the west.-Ex.
