of 15O,OOO acres, So that in fifteen years it would accumulate only twenty-five inches of silt over its whole surface.
 The subjects of underfow, seepage and submerged dams were next taken up. MT. Code read a very elaborate paper in which he concluded from the results of experience that such dams were failures.
 On this subject Mir. Mead said lhe matter had been presented at a meet ing of irrigation engineers in San Fran cisco. It was shown that nOtwith- standing the apparent moisture in the sands of streams and the discovery of water in apparently large quantities, as a matter of fact the movement of the underground water was so slow from one to three miles year-that it could not be raised in great quantities provided it could all be saved. That. too. was a very difficult thing.
 A further discussion of the subject of the underflow brought out tkat much of the water of the Salt and Gila riv- CTS was not underflow, but return water from irrigated districts. This was proved by Captain Hancock, who showed that the apparent underfiow was less this season for the reason that less water had been used in irrigation.
 Professor Forbes arrived at the same conclusion by chemical analyses of water taken from the river near the Wolflev dam and from the Consolidated head. The water from below was found to be much more heavily charged with salts gathered from the alkali soil through which it had percolated. It would not have been so if it had flowed
 through the river sands whose power
 to effect such a chemical change had | been lost in ages of teaching. This concluded the regular business of the most interesting session of the general committee.
 At the request of Chairman Fowler MT. Mead delivered an elaborate ad- dress upon the irrigation laws of Wy
 oming. If there is one subject more than another on which MT. Mead is at home it is this one. He framed those laws himself. They are said to be the best in existence and have been adopt i ed by other states in the arid region.

FOLLOWING OUR LEAD
Russia is in Perfect Accord and the German Proposal if Not Originally Misunderstood Has Been Modified. Wilhelm Informs the Chinese En- peror That an Observance of Forms is Not Atonement.

Washington, Oct. 2-Favorable news has reached Washington from the European chancellories indicating that a complete agreement as to China is in sight. The agreement will be on the basis of the propositions laid down by Secretary Hay in his note of July ?, and subsequent notes treating on the subject. The accord of Russia with the United States is more complete than was anticipated at first and reports show that all the European nations probably are placing themselves in a position to take advantage of the open- ing made by the United States and soon will be ready to begin negotiations for a settlement with the Chinese gov ernment
 The Russians already have given mo- tlce or such purpose and while the text Of the French note on this subject. referred to in tOday's press dispatches. mas not reached the state department, olnclals are satisfied that this is cor rectly reported and that France. like Russia, is ready to negotiate at once.
 As for Germany. either the position of that government has been misunder- stood or it has sustained a change of mind. Possibly the former is the case. but however that may be, it is quite certain from advices which reached Washington today that the German government, upon a careful inspection of the plans for settlement projected by the United States, finds therein nothing inconsistent with German aspirations. Therefore it may be expected that Ger many too will be prepared soon to join in this common movement toward A settlement. It may be stated that all together the prospects of an adjustment of the Chinese difficulty without resort to formal war are very much bright CT than they were one week ago.

BEAUTY WITH UTILITY
A Show Beast is Simply an Animal
With a Good Digestion.

One Of the best-informed breeders
and exhibitors of live stock in North
America once remarked, Getting
show beast is simply a question of find
Ing an animal of extraordinary diges-
live power" His argument was di-
rected against n prevailing popular
type that admittedly took in flesh read
Ivy, but seemed wanting in what is
sometimes called character or show OF
high breeding"
There is no dispGting the fact that
beauty, finish. symmetry and an i'm
preSsive presence are among the most
attractive attributes of the improved
breeds. Even in the pens of Stock-yard
markets style counts for something.
True it weighs nothing upon the scale,
but ii is not without a bearing of fixing
The price per pound. At the same time
practical feeders know what capacity
to make flesh rapidly and at an early
age is at the foundation of all chance
Tor profit in the matchmaking breeds;
hence us between the low-necked,
sh0rt-necked. hurley-bodied, short
legged beast. devoid of any of the
phowier characteristics, and one that
has more range and gayety than any
thing else. those who are catering to
the feed-lot will make no mistake il
they adhere to the compactly-fashioned
blocks. 1t should be the aim. however,
Of all good breeders to unite. rs far as
possible. the ideal feeding form with
beauty and grace in form of carriage.

Sweet Corn For Cows.

The value of sweet corn as summer
fodder for cows can scarcely be over
estimated, and in sections where other
soiling or forage crops do not succeed
well, sweet corn will pay for all the
space it occupies and the care neces-
sary to grow it properly. 1t also has
a certain market value as a table food,
hence is one of the few crops that is
not loss should the market price fall
too low to pay for handling. Sweet
corn will be especially valuable in sea-
sons when drought is prevalent and
will do much to lengthen out scanty
pastures. Further, it always increases
the flow Of milk, besides adding mater
tally to its quality. In cutting, the hest
plan Is to let it cure for a day before
feeding, especially when it is first
given as part of the ration. Planting
should be made so that constant sup
ply of the fodder will be on hand until
late fall. Any that may not have been
used may be cured for winter feeding
or be turned into the best sort of en-
silage. In nine cases out of ten cows
will eat more sweet corn fodder during
the winter than either hay or field
corn fodder.
