voir (see the CUTS. Professor Wickson
of California in writing of field and
garden irrigation tells how by this
means waste land which is both use
less and treacherous is reclaimed and
made productive, while at the same
time the waste water which destroyed
it is utilized to make other lands more
productive.
Professor Wickson says: Many farms
have blemishes of this kind to be re-
moved, and long and costly channels
are cut merely to provide an outflow
to q water course. 1t would often be
less expensive to include a system of
irrigation and thus to double the return
for the necessary expenditure. Foul
mudholeS which are maintained for
watering stock can be made to yield a
wholesome water supply for stock and
an irrigation supply for the farm gar
den by piping from the reservoir, which
can be constructed on the site of the old
mudhole at a little cost All these i'm
provements can be accomplished by the
ordinary methods and materials for I'M
derground drainage.
There is one matter in connection
with a projected utilization for any
small outcropping of water to which
careful attention should be given, and
that is approximate knowledge of the
amount of water which can be made
available. This may be obtained be-
| fore investment of labor or material is
made by opening up the spring thor
| oughly, cleaning it out to expose its
outflow and measuring the flow in a
water tight basin or vessel of known
| capacity. Note the time required to fill
the vessel, and it can be quickly cal
culated how much the spring will yield
in twenty-four hours. Almost every
one will be surprised at the result of
the measurement A trickle of water
thought to be too insignificant for con-
sideration will be found to yield a very
effective continuous flow if the water
is collected.
A five gallon oil can is handy meas
ure. Suppose the spring fills it in two
minutes, the yield would then be $500
gallons in twenty-four hours, or 1885,
600 gallons in one month, and this
amount is equivalent to nearly four
inches of rainfall on an acre Of ground.
Such an amount, if carefully collected
and applied, would keep a garden of
small fruits and vegetables in good
growth even with very little rainfall if
the soil be of fairly retentive charac-
ter AS a safety supply against the
short droughts of the humid region it
would rescue a crop which might be
worth several hundred dollars.
Thus a little outflow from a spring
which might pass away unnoticed un-
derground or at most by surface flow
would only make sedgy streak across

Pneumonia In Cattle,

A number of eases of what appears
to be pneumonia in cattle. occurring in
the west, give interest to information
about this disease. Professor Mayo
of Kansas notes among symptoms
coughing, especially when first turned
out or after lying down. and rapid and
labored breathing. He considers me-
dicinal treatment of little avail. The
animal should receive the best of care
protection from the weather, laxa-
tive, nutritious but not bulky food and
pure water. Cornstalks should not be
fed. Alfalfa, millet or other hay
should be sprinkled to lay the dust.
Sailing the animal with a mixture Of
one pound of sulphur, one pound of air
slaked lime, one pound of hyposulphite
of soda. all thoroughly pulverized and
mixed with ten pounds of common salt,
is good. A tablespoonful may be given
once daily, the animal being allowed
to lick it. Bran mashes to which is
added some cottonseed or oil meal are
excellent.

H. A. Link, who was recently ar
rested for selling liquor without a

Crows Nest Pass railway and re-

by the authorities. A warrant was
sworn out before Commissioner Nc
Keown this week, charging him with
selling whisky without a government
license, and an officer is now on the
lookout for him.
Ever since the construction of the

be made of Link. The men in the con-

The buds are cut from well developed
and ripened shoots of the current sea

to propagate. Before the buds are re-

DUST SPRAYING.
A Conservative View of 1t as Com.

pared With the Use of Liquid.
''In the great apple growing districts
of the west and southwest experiments
are being made with dust as compared
with liquid spraying. The dust is blown
upon the trees by means of an air
blast"
In view of this fact The Rural New
Yorker publishes the opinions of some
practical horticulturists on this prac-
tice. The secretary of the Missouri
Horticultural society says:
] am slow to say much about "dust
spray" because l do not yet feel sure
that it is as efficient as the liquid. In
fact, it has not been tested long enough
to say exactly how valuable it is. Our
entomologists and best informed men
on fungous diseases give it as their
opinion that the dust spray" is not
as efficient as the liquid. But it is ap-
piled so much more easily and quickly
than the liquid that we can dust the
orchard twice or three times with the
same expense as one application of the
liquid. We can get on the ground when
it is so wet that we could not haul a
load Of water.
The hand busters are easily handled,
and the work can be done after rain
or mist or while the dew is on early in
the morning. We often dust from to
s a. m. and give the men a half day for
the work. Lime (air slaked, fresh) is
the base to carry the insecticides and
fungicides. l am sure also that lime is
good for both these. 1t is a good in
secticide and it is a good fungicide,
and this year we shall test it alone on
forty or eighty acre orchard.
l have used the dust process, first, in
a small way three years ago; second
on forty acres two years ago; last year
on over 240 acres. This year we shall
use it on over 400 acres. l used one
pound of paris green to ten pounds OF
lime; shall use only half that strength
this year, as well as lime alone.

orchards. While l cannot say that tn
dust is as valuable as the liquid, yet
think, from our experience, that w
can prevent the insects and fungou
diseases if we will follow it up sys
tematically. especially on our youn
orchards, where these pests have no
vet secured hold. In an old orchard
badly affected with these troubles, d
not think we could check their ravage
so quickly or thoroughly.

Attachment For a Spray Wagon.

Attachment For a Spray Wagon.
A very effective and ingenious home
made device for agitating the liquid
used in spraying trees was used last
spring by fruit grower near Geneva,
N. Y. This man had rugged up pulley
attachment to one of the wheels of his
spray wagon. Over this pulley belt
was run, which communicated motion
to an arrangement on top of the tank
for moving the agitating paddles. In
this way the agitation was very easily
and effectively maintained. Such an ar
rangement could very easily be put on
at slight expense by any of the growers
of this state. OF course, where steam
or other power is employed both agita-
ton and pumping are easily maintain
ed by the engine or motive power.

tent factor in production. OF course
in handling water from such a small
source of supply il must be constantly
protected from loss. 1t would disap-
pear in an open ditch in a short time.
Usually it must be conveyed in a pipe
to tank or tight reservoir and collect
ed in sufficient volume to cover quite

Connecticut Cloth Grown Tobacco

Much is yet to be learned in growing
tobacco under cloth tents. Speaking of
a crop grown last year in Connecticut
on quite heavy land. the New England
Homestead says it is admitted by some
of the government experts to be one OF
the best in quality. This leaf seems to
have more body in it than the very thin
and papery leaf grown under cloth on
lighter soils. There is much specula-
ton among growers also as to how
shaded leaf on light soil will cure
down should the curing season happen
to be quite dry instead of moist, as it
was last fall.

The opening up of springs is often
very satisfactory means of obtaining a
farm supply of irrigation water. Their
development sometimes consists in the
excavation of a reservoir in a piece of
springy or marshy ground or in laying
underdrains to take their flow and
connecting them with a more conven-
lent reservoir site at a distance. Some
times a spring whose flow cannot be
recovered from the area of Doggy

Sugar.

n T USED to be said that the best
gauge Of a peoples civilization
Il was the amount Of pig-iron pro-
duction, this implying an en-
lightened diversification in demands for
the finished products of iron and steel.
While this rule remains true, sociologists
are emphasizing another one--the per
capita consumption Of sugar. Little
sugar means much poverty; liberal
use of sugar, high level of economic
welfare.
The bureau of statistics at Washing
ton has recently prepared some figures
upon the consumption Of sugar in the
United States at different intervals
which constitute an encouraging ex-
hibit. These show that people of the
United states now consume eight times
as much sugar per capita as they did
In the first quarter of the last century,
four times as much as the average
per capita during the decade ending
with 1850, and twice as much as they
did in any year prior to 1870. In the
years Immediately prior to 1925 the
average consumption of sugar was
about 8 pounds per capita, in the
decade 1S4O-5O, about 16 pounds per
capita, in the years Immediately prior
to 1870 the average was about 80 pounds
per capita (omitting the war years, in
which the consumption was Light, from
1870 to 1889 1t averaged about 40 pounds
per capita, from 1880 to 1890 so pounds
per capita; in 1891 the figure was 66
pounds per capita, and has ranged
from 81 to 6S pounds per capita since
that time, the figure for 1901 being 6S.4
pounds.
But it does not necessarily follow
that the richest country uses the most
sugar, though upon the whole sugar.
use is a very fair register Of national
wealth. The per capita use Of sugar
in Great Britain, for instance, is 916
pounds, or nearly third more than in
the United States, although the United
States is today the richer country and
has higher economic level. AS mat
ter of curiosity, here is the showing Of
the principal countries:

Sugar Consumption
p@ T-IA-

The use of sugar is growing the world
over. Figures recently published by the
Bureau of Statistics in its monograph
1.-THE Worlds Sugar Production and
Consumption" showed that the sugar
production of the world was eight times
as great in 1900 as in 1910, the figure
for 1910 being 1,150,000 tons and that for
1900. S,S00,0O0 tons. This increase in pro-
duction, and consequently in consump-
tion, has, it is explained, come largely
through the development of the beet
sugar industry, which increased from
a production of $4,000 tons in 1910 to
100000 tons in 1850, 1000 tons in 1870,
1.4O2, 900 tons in 1880, 1888, 90 tons in 1890,
and 595O,OOO tons in 1900 During the
same time, cane sugar production in
creased from 100000 tons in 1S4O to g.
$4,000 tons in 1900. Beets in 1910 sup
piled 4.35 per cent. of the total sugar
product of the world; in 1850 they sup
piled 14.29 per cent: in 1860, 2O.43 per
cent. in 1870, 34.40 per cent; in 1890,
637O per cent, and in 1900, 67.71 per
cent.
Possibly these figures will shed some
light upon the determination with
which the supporters of the American
beet sugar industry opposed in the re-
cent session of congress any conces-
sions to the cane sugar industry in
Cuba.

We often sing in joyful strains.
In admiration's loud refrains,
The heroism ever true
OF Uncle Sammys boys in blue.
That sacred color now must so
And sit back in the has-been row,
And future praises we must dab
Upon the boys in olive-drab.
The blue that since the nations birth
Has been the proudest hue on earth,
The color worn by hero sires
In blaze of many battle fires
And honored by their loyal sons
Amid the roar CT hostile guns,
Now feels the sharp official stab
And fees before the olive-drab.
The girls who'ye sworn they will be true
Unto their solid boys In blue,
Who've gone foreign foe to face.
Must change their VOWS to fit the case.
When now their condolences they
Exchange of heroes far away,
They'll center all their loving CAB
Upon the boys in olive-drab.
In future years when wars shall cease,
And all creation be at peace.
tSave but the Democrats, who'll be
At war while preaching harmony,
The generations yet unborn
Right up to the millennium morn
With this proud boast the air will jab:
Our ancestors wore oive-drab."
This color fad We pray they'll bar
Before 1t goes too bloomin' far
And never let It find place
Upon "Old Glory's" sacred face.
OH may Ii never spread unto
Our glorious red, white and blue.
For who could whoop while keeping tab
Upon red, white and olive-drab?
