CEMENT RESERVOIR AND MEASURING BOX
For the collection of water from pumping
plantl
q short time, with the best results to
the land and the owner, the water
must be had with certain volume, or
head" as it is usually termed in ir-
rigated regions. A little rill from a
spring which, if left to it's course,
might make only little sedgy strip
across a field or a marshy spot in a
corner can be led to a small water
tight reservoir, and it will accumulate
until it has a volume which can be
spread over q considerable area of
ground and possibly increase produc
ton the first year because of the irri-
CATION more than enough to pay the
cost of the reservoir which collected it.
Yet millions of such springs are allow
ed not only to waste themselves, but
destroy much good land unless drain
age intervene and the water only be
lost. Only people who have learned
the value Of irrigation can appreciate
the value of this waste and the ease
with which it can be turned to profit.
A little spring which runs a gallon
minute yields 14.400 gallons in ten
days This is water enough, IL kept
from leakage and evaporation. to cover
half an acre of ground to the depth OF
one inch, and the same volume flowing
continuously would be equal to an an
nual rainfall of 361a inches for the
same area. Thus a trickling stream
from spring becomes measurable
factor in production, and from this
minimum flow and acreage one can
easily calculate what large flows will
amount to. whether they come from
spring or windmill or other source.
Simply collect the water into a recepta-
Gle of known capacity and note the
time required to fill it. and calculation
as to reservoir capacity needed and
the area which may be covered in the
distribution are easy. Allowance must
be made for approximate evaporation
from the surface of the water in the
reservoir. Further allowance must be
made for loss by leakage, which will
vary with the nature of the soil in
which the reservoir Is constructed and
the manner Of construction.
An inch over the whole surface fri
gated once In ten days or three inches
once month, according to the depth
and the receptive character of the soil,
will insure against drought and in
crease production even in humid eli
mate, while in the arid region it will
establish an oasis of fruits and yege-
tables in succession through the dry
season.
Obviously the small receiving and
distributing reservoir should be above
the highest point of the land to be ir-
rigated and below the source Of the
water except with pumping outfits. The
first thought in small affairs in billy
regions is to initiate large undertak-
ings and dam the natural channel and
back the water in the small rayine
whence the stream flows. This is often
wise perhaps but it is also difficult to
escape loss Of seepage and to get sufh-
Gent capacity without too high dam,
and there is such great danger Of
washouts by excess of storm water
that a reservoir out Of the course Of
the stream to which water may be
conducted Is better. In a coarse soil

The Place of the Duel.

Mrs. Minaie Walter Myers, in her
Romance and Realism Of the South
ern Gulf Coast" gives an account Of
one of the last challenges to a duel
which occurred in Louisiana The af-
fair was between NJ. Marigny, who be-
longed to one of the oldest families Of
Louisiana, and Mr.. Humble, a sturdy
ex-blacksmith Of Georgia, who had be-
come a man of political consequence.
NJ. Marigny took offense at some re
marks Of the Georgian and sent him a
challenge. The big blacksmith was
nonplused.
81 know nothing about this dueling
business" he said. Il will not fight
him"
You must" said his friend "No
gentleman can refuse"
Il am not gentleman" replied the
honest son Of Georgia. Il am only a
blacksmith"
'But you will be ruined II you do not
fight" urged his friends. "You will
have the choice Of weapons, and you
can choose so as to give yourself an
equal chance with your adversary"
The giant asked time III which to
consider the question and ended by ac-
cepting. He sent the following reply
to M.~Marigny:
Il accept, and in the exercise Of my
privilege, I stipulate that the duel shall
take place in Lake Pontchartrain, In
six feet of water, sledge hammers to
be used as weapons"
NJ. Marigny was about five feet. eight
inches in height and his adversary
was seven feet. The conceit of the
Georgian so pleased NJ. Marigny. who
could appreciate joke as well as per-
petrate one, that he declared himself
satisfied. and the duel did not take
place.

The Horse ON the Farm.

Granting that the extensive horse
raiser is gradually losing the range for
running large bands, whom will 1t pay
to raise the different kinds of horses
for which there appears to be a good
market? 1t must be the farmer,
whether large or small. and each
should produce horses Of particular
kind. 1t will pay the farmers Of the
northwest to keep on their farms a
number Of good mares and breed them
to good stations that they believe will
bring them an offspring of certain
type. for which there is each year a
market at good. fair price. 1t will
also pay the small farmers and gar
deners near cities to use for their
work lighter mares, which may be
bred to stations OF driving strains and
thus be able to furnish the material
for drivers for the market. 1t should
be remembered that 1t costs no more

For Old MissOuri's Sake.

Now all We true Missourians who love
your good old State,
Come rally round the party that has
made her rich and great;
The times at hand to show the band
of hungry wreckers all
That not into their greedy or asp shall
old Missouri fall
They're wild to loot e- treasures as
in the days OF yore.
They yearn to rob her to the bone just
as they did before.
They're crowding thick with plot and
trick and evil in their souls
But the true sons OF Missouri will
meet them at the polls!
Unfurl the Democratic flag and let it
wave on high.
For Dockery and Democracy uplift
the stirring cry,
With solid front into the brunt Of bat
tie force your way
And crush the robber host to earth
upon election day!
It's all for old Missouri's sake, ye
sons OF hers SO true,
And not in vain at such time Mis-
souri, calls to you;
Then to the fray in grim array your
conquering progress make
For Dockery and Democracy and old
Missouri's sake!
