From tho 1900 report Of the N0wf

tho following:
The irrigation praetced IN the Ease

Plants capable Of irriGatine 9 20 q
acres are the rule. They haye. how
ever, clearly demonstrated two points
first. an irrigation plant - Q dssss-
ablo adjunct to a fa1n; and seoond,a
that It pays. In most cases tho wstsr
has been applied b. pumping, either
from . stream OF from wells. The
cost Of these small plants ID relatively
large per acre. yet in all cases they
have proved profitable. because the
water has been used for such crops a.
are liable to suffer seriously in case
Of short drouths. OF the eight small
plants Of which full data have BEEN
obtained. the initial cost per acre for
them ranges from s25 to 500. and.
with the exception Of one case. the
water is applied by pumping; in four.
cases It ia obtained from streams, ana
IN the others from wells, and the re-
turns thus far have in all cases paid
a large rate Of interest on the invest
ment.
The question Of small plants ana
their erection and equipment has been
we'll worked out, and one capable Of
furnishing water for from 6 to 8 acres
can be erected and equipped for from
$4O0 to $500, depending on the location
OF the land in reference to situation OF
the waterfall is. whether the point
to which the water is to be raised be-
high or low. This does seem a relative7
~ high initial cost as compared with
that Of canals and bitches or even od
storage, but as used In intensive prac-
tice and for crops of a high CONNER
cial value these plants do return a
large profit ON the investment. The
information thus far gathered indicates
that irrigation is desirable in the
humid districts, and that small plentsl
while relatively expensive. are prac-'
ticable and result in greatly reducing
the effects Of q deficiency in rainfall.

Irrigation In siberia.

From Farmers Review: The agri-
cultural possibilities of Siberia are
vast and but indifferently understood.
The Punishment Of Russian political
prisoners to severe and rigorous sta
tions has created the impression that
all Siberia is frigid and incapable Of
agricultural development. There are
in the cars Asiatic dominion mill
lions Of acres of fertile lands splen-
didly adapted to the growth Of grains,
and large areas are even now being
farmed. Siberia, however, is a vast
country and in many sections which
have shown some agricultural devel-
opnlert the winters are long and cold
while the summers on the other hand
are very warm and dry. Many of the
small streams which are used for ir-
rigation dry up during this season,
the ground bakes and agriculture suf-
fers much. To remedy this evil the
farmers Of certain districts construct
each year storage reservoirs, and in the
summers use the contents, reservoirs
and all, for the support Of their crops.
They do it in this manner:
During the winter they collect great
drifts Of snow in the bottoms Of deep,
shaded valleys, rolling it down the
sides in immense snow balls and there
pressing and compacting 1t 30 that it
will be more resistant to thawing. At
the end Of the winter they cover the
enormous piles thus formed with
branches, straw or trash, in order to
protect the snow against the suns
heat. All during the spring this mass
of snow melts q little during the days,
but freezes at night until It becomes
a great solid cake Of Ice. Then, when
the temperature rises to summer heat
and the streams begin to dry up from
lack Of rain. this snow-ice commences
to melt away, and by means Of a ditch
leading from 1t, the water which runs
down supplies the river until the re-
currence Of rainfall.-Guy e. Mitchell.

the trees are not exposed to the action

Of thousands Of nursery trees. Wet

advisable to have the trunk and great
er part Of the branches covered, espe-
cially in the 49, of peach and other
tender fruits, and whenever fruits
have not been thoroughly ripened. Care
should be taken to have no straw or
rubbish about the trees, but 1t is a
good plan to use evergreen boughs to-
break the suns rays and prevent the
alternate freezing and thawing, as we'll

always be dug to carry OF any SUR

B. s. Hoxie Of Wisconsin, in a note
to the Farmers Review, finds fault
with . recent article on forest preser-
walton. The sentence that most arouses
his resentment is: Careful estimates
on the growth Of the spruce show that
the trees now having a diameter Of Is
inches cannot be replaced by trees OF
the same size in less than $50 years"
In commenting on this Mr.. Hoxie says:
while 1t is true that the spruce, as
well as nearly all the other coniferous
trees. make slow growth during the
first four or five years from seedlings,
they are not s~low-growing trees. as
anyone can satisfy himself by counting

Besides the cabin passengers and en-
