 Here was no irrigation by in- diyidaal owners of water;
 but a great system covering a large area, earefuIlvthOUght out and operated by a cen tral head for the greatest good of the many and the utilization of the greatest possible acreage.
 And 1t seems strange in the present era of great pro gress, and vast undertakings that this section of country. once the most highly eulti- yated of the continent, is left an arid and cheerless waste with a torrid sky and pareh- ad earth, even while the same rainfall of ages past still con- tinues year by year, and the water supply is still there, only awaiting its utilization by man.

Crops evaporate 300 times their own weight of growth annually. To allow the growth of weeds in an irri- gated field means an immense loss of the precious fluid so necessary to plant life; while the man causing the waste gets all the water he needs. Still he deprives the irriga- tion works of a portion of its capacity thereby cutting off some one, or causing an in in expense, and per haps a resulting loss to him~ self in the end.

EVIDENCES OF ANCIENT
IRRIGATION.

LRkIGATION.
 1 One of the most marvellous
 engineering accomplishments
 of ancient or modern times is shown in discoveries that
 were made last year in the
 lava beds of New Mexico.
 Thousands of years ago, the
 geoIogists tell us, a system
 of irrigation reservoirs and
 ditches was operated in the Southwest which is not par alleled by anything of this nature in the United States today. The builders of these works, a people older than the Pueblo race, cultivated thou sands of acres of now arid territory. Reservoirs were constructed at the bases of mountains to catch the flood waters before they were ab- sorbed into the loose and bot tondless sand, and the ditches where they ran through sand, were cemented to prevent the waters escape.
 Lava has flowed into some of these ditches, once filled by sparkling water in centd- ries gone by. What can have been the history of this pre- historic race or what can have caused their disappearance, can only be conJectured,
 Unlike the ancients of oth- CT lands these people have not left a complete record of their glory and their down. fall and whether 1t was the result of climatic conditions or great upheavals or wheth- CT they were supplanted by more warlike and stronger races, is a mystery. That they were highly developed, however, in agriculture, which is the mother of civil ization, is shown by the evil dences which they have left. Their canals wind in and a. round for miles, showing a superior engineering knowl- i edge in securing an exact and . uniform fall; remarkable via ducts were used in crossing canyons, while network of distributing ditches brought every available acre into use for tillage. Vast fields of waving grain and laden or ehards must have stretched away, down the fertile valleys under the magic touch of wa ter for arid America where 1t has been reclaimed through irrigation of today yields ex- travagantly-a and with such

several years and was terrible sufferer from
dyspepsia. The doctor told me not 10 use coffee
or tea, and put a light diet and I raIt
better
Then commenced to drink coffee again and
had the trouble on.
''One day I told friend about II who said II
] would stop drinking coffee altogether I would
feel better. and advised me TO use Postum Food
Coffee in its place.
Il tried the Postum but did not like IL so I
told him about IL and he said I didn't cook II
right, that is, didn't boil II enough, and that
should Use cream instead Of milk and TO make
sure would use it, he sent package to the
house.
After | used that package, I would have no
more coffee In the house. Now l don't know
what II Is TO nave dyspepsia and 1 can eat any
thing. / also give Postum 10 my two children
and they are the healthiest children you could
find anywhere. The youngest is a boy 13 months
old, and we have been giving him Postum for
seven months. three times a day. He weighs
10 pounds, and know that Postum is what
