The universal use Of irrigation in the
West has practically revolutionized
farm values in many regions. These
methods of supplying the crops with
water are many, but they all show an
amount of adaptation to conditions that
proves the existence of Yankee genius
here yet. There are more varieties of
windmills for pumping up water than
one could describe in a week. These
windmills are not expensive affairs, but
in most cases are built of ordinary arti-
cles picked up on the farm or in Sec
ond-hand shops. They perform the
work required of them satisfactorily,
and that is all one can ask of them.
The construction of good working
windmill on any farm, and a pumping
attachment, with irrigation canals and
reservoir, adds d hundred or two per
cent to the value of farm in a region
where summer droughts are heavy
drawbacks to farming. With little
extra work during the winter season
1t Is an easy matter to make such i'm
provements on almost any farm. The
system can be enlarged and extended
season by season, and the farm grad
ually enhanced in value.
A farm that has a fair homemade ir
rigation plant is practically independ-
ent of the weather. The farmer is
then sure of his crop no matter how hot
or dry the season may prove. The great
benefit derived from an irrigation plant
Is so apparent that it seems strange
that SO few are in existence. 1t is not
always necessary to build windmill
for irrigation, for there are often nat
uraf advantages which any farmer can
avail himself %of. When brooks flow
through farms they furnish in the win
ter and spring seasons an abundance of
water, but when summer advances
they often dry up and prove Of no
earthly good. The question Of import
ance is how can such stream be con-
verted into use for irrfgating the plants.
1t would not be so difficult if reser-
voir was dug and built on the farm, so
that the water could be stored. Such a
reservoir could easily be increased in
size each year, and with the water
stored in it, what would prevent dig
ging bitches to carry the water to the
fields when needed? Some will say
that such work represents an immense
amount of labor; but if the farmer in
tends to live permanently on his farm,
will it not pay him to do little toward
the improvement each year, even
though it may take ten years to COM
plete the job? He can rest assured that
he is increasing the value of his farm
fully 10 per cent every year, fact
which he will realize when he comes
to sell it.-Professor James S. Doty,

Indigestion in Horses.

1t is difficult to give causes of indi-
gestion in horses, for it may come from
improper water, as from improper
foods, although the latter are usually
at the bottom Of the trouble. A proper
variety iE the foods will do much to
keep the digestive organs in good con-
dition, particularly IL in the variety
there is considerable green food of a
succulent nature, as most root crops
are. When indigestion is caused by
improper water, it Is usually the case
that the water is foul in some way,
although very hard water often pro-
duces Indigestion, or, what is worse,
stone in the kidney or bladder, the lat
ter being disease quite common
among horses in districts where the
water Is hard If the food is of the
proper kind and hard water is being
used, attention should be given it be-
fore valuable animal is lost. If pos
sible, give rain water, but If this is not
convenient, add a small quantity of
caustic potash to the hard water, which
will materially improve it.

Twenty-Five Selected for the Univer-
sity's Hall of Fam.
The great living-room of the new
Harvard Union, which is to be the gen.
eraI social club of the whole university,
Is to be a kind of memorial to famous
Harvard men, graduates or instructors.
The dimensions of the room are to be
about 80 by 40 feet, with oak paneling
to the height of fifteen feet, and two
oak mantels. One of these mantels
will carry bust of Washington, who
received his degree of Ii. D. in 1776
while he was besieging Boston; the 9TH
er an ideal bust of John Harvard, of
whom no portrait is known to exist.
The paneling will contain tablets with
space for the name of 200 Harvard
men, which will be inscribed in gilt in
raised letters. The first selection of
twenty-five names has already been
made and is as follows: John Adams,
1855; James Russell Lowell, 1888; Louis

Versatile Coloradoan.

The town of Dolores, in Montezuma
County, boasts of the most versatile
man in the State. He has six different
trades and five professions, and he
practices them all. In most of them
he has monopoly of the business of
the town.
The distinguished individual Is Frank
Kramer. He is the town blacksmith,
the town dentist, the town barber, the
town veterinary surgeon, and the town
painter and decorator. In these lines
he has no opposition whatever.
During the mor4ing Kramer shoes
horses and administers treatment to
sick animals of all kinds. In the rear
of his blacksmith shop he has dental
chair with all the newest appliances for
drawing and filling human teeth. As a
dentist he is pronounced one of the best
in that section.
If he has any painting contracts on
he does the work along toward twi
light. The evenings he devotes to shay
ing and hair-cutting in barbering es-
tablishment which he runs himself
without help.
Kramer also does odd jobs at carpen-
tering, acts as notary public and
lawyer, assists the town marshal in
running down bad boys, works as a
gardener, drives an ore team, and gives
lessons in stenography and typewriting.
Kramer's industry has netted him
some money, and he is said to be piling
up fortune. The population of Dolores
is but 108, and in his various business
enterprises the Observation-Disclosures
tist is about the whole thing. He does
everything well, according to those who
have patronized him, except barbering

CHAPTER XXII.-tContinuedD
While the family were making arrange
ments to move fr IN Glenwood to Chlco-
pee, Henry for the first time in his lie
began to see how little use he was to
himself or any one else. Nothing was ex-
pected of him, consequently nothing was
asked of him, he began to wonder how ne
himself was henceforth to exist. HIS
father would be in California, and he had
too much pride to lounge around the old
homestead, which had come to them
through George Moreland's generosity.
Suddenly it occurred to him that he,
too, would 60 with his father-he would
help him repair their fortunes-he would
be a man, and when he returned home,
hope painted a joyful meeting with ms
mother and Jenny, who should be proud
to acknowledge him as son and broth
er. Mr. Lincoln warmly seconded his
resolution, which possibly would nave
never been carried out had not Henry
heard of Miss Herndon's engagement
with a rich old bachelor, whom he had
often heard her ridicule. Cursing the
fckleness of the fair lady, and half-wlsh-
ing that he had not broken with Ella,
whose fortune. though not what he had
expected, was considerable, he bade adleu
to his native SKY, and two weeks after
the family removed to Chicopee, he sail
ed with his father for the land of gold.
But alas! The tempter was there be-
fore him, and in an unguarded moment

row coffin, the pale, dead sister and the
solemn vow were all forgotten and de-

with none but his father to witness his
wild rawlings, in which he talked of his
distant home, of Jenny and Rose, Mary
Howard and Ella, the last of whom he
seemed now to love with madness
amounting almost to frenzy. Tearing out
handfuls of his rich brown hair, he thrust
it into his fathers hand, bidding him to
E carry it to Ella and tell her that the heart
she had so earnestly coveted was hers in
death. And the father, far more wretch
ed now than when his frst-born daugh-
ter died, promised everything, and when
his only son was dead, he laid him down
to sleep beneath the blue sky Of Califor
mia, where not one of the many bittel
tears shed for him in his far-off home
could fall upon his lonely grave.

S1ye the Roys Tools.

Almost all boys are naturally mechan-
les. The constructive and initiative
faculties are developed, In part, at a
very early age. All boys are not capable
of being developed, into good, practical,
working mechanics, but most of them
show their bent that way. There are
few cases in which the boy has no COM
petent idea of the production of fabri-
Gated result from inorganic material,
but such cases are rare. Given the prop
er encouragement and the means, and
many boys whose mechanical aptness is
allowed to run to waste, or is diverted
from its natural course, would become
good workmen, useful, producing men,
bers of the industrial community. The
mechanical boy ought to have a shop
of his own. Let it be the attic, or an
unused room, or place in the barn or
woodshed. Give him place and tools.
Let him have a good pocketknife, gim-
let, chisels, gauges, planes, cutting nip
pers, saws, foot rule and material to
work. Let the boy have chance. If
he is mechanic it will come out, and
he will do himself credit. If he fails
he is to follow some calling that does
not demand mechanical skill.

there with my dear old Fluff cuddled

was lonesome.
I was missing my real party, when
my sick party began.s
Mamma came in with Dell Aliens
new doll. Dell had sentit over to spend
the afternoon with me-her new doll!
Wasn't she good? Then nurse brought
in Freda Wanaee's baby doll, in it's long
Write dress and the sweetest blue knit
ted sack and cap. Freda had lent her
to me for the afternoon, too. When
aunty brought in Jenny Mayo's doll,
just squealed.
1T is doll party she said. ''We
couldn't have the little girls, because
they would laugh and talk, and tire you
too much. But they said they would
send their dolls, and so you could have
quiet party
Mamma and aunty kept bringing in
more dolls. At last they brought in
Freddy Bonds horse, a fine, big, hair
covered one. Freddy hadn't a doll, of
course, SO he asked if he might send
his horse to spend the afternoon with
me. Didn't laugh?
Horses don't usually go to parties,
except to take people there, but this
horse was as quiet and nice as the dolls.
Mamma and aunty said the best thing
about a doll party was that you didn't
have to give them real things to eat,
and SO it couldn't hurt me. But we
had supper just the5same. We had
the cutting table spread with. a big
towel and my new dishes.
And aunty made the things to eat
right there. 1t was great fun watching
her, for she made me guess them. They
were mostly tissue paper things. Vel
low pieces crumpled into little balls
were oranges, and white pieces rolled
into sticks, the ends shipped like fringe,
were celery. Green paper made lettuce
for the salad, and little ships of red
scattered on them was lobster.
