HORSE LEG IRRIGATION.
Arid Land Made FERTILE by the Com
scrvation pf Moisture.

ncrVattOn OF Moisture.
"A penny saved Is twopence gaincd''
Is an old adage. Many Of us who have
lived in the semiarid regions have felt
our way along carefully until now the
conservation Of moisture is well de-
veloped fact. w. En- Campbell of Me-
braska has given years to careful ex-
periments along these lines.
West Of the one hundredth meridian
the rainfall averages about fifteen
inches. That is not enough for crop.
1t should be thirty inches. How can
this be secured? BY putting two years
moisture into one crop. Now comes
the process. Take forty acres of land.
early In the spring the ground has a.
tendency to dry out. Remember the
springs In this region are to a large
extent rainless. The first thing, put
on the disk and fallow with the har-
row. This seals the earth up alright.
Allow no weeds to grow. for they are
the anarchists Of the soil and drain
the moisture. Watch favorable time
and plow deep with three or four
horses. Have a harrow follow the
plow, so the burrows cannot dry out
Then watch carefully. Disk or harrow
or both after every rain. Keep the
pores closed. Cover the whole with.
the dust blanket In the fall the sub
soil will have reserve enough to carry
good crop.
Mr.. Campbell last summer raised
thirty-four bushels Of fine winter
wheat $50 miles west Of the one-hun-
dredth meridian on land where crops
had failed fourteen years In success
sion.
Now we know where we are. We
hope our state will do much in the
way Of tree planting in the dry re
gions. First the conservation of mois-
ture for two or three years will give
a splendid reserve in the subsoil. SO
that trees can be grown without trou-
BILE. I lived under the one-hundredth
meridian eight years and had one of
the finest places in the state, owing to
constant cultivation, especially after
every rain.
The dweller Of the plains thinks he
cannot have a garden. He can. Let
him set aside piece and give it an
extra years rainfall and careful cult
walton. and he can succeed.
This system has great advantages
over ditch irrigation. The water is
more evenly distributed. The expense
is much less. Instead of a costly ditch
have good team. Three-fourths of
the land under ditch in eastern Colo
RADIO is very uncertain thing. because
there is not water enough for the
bitches when it is needed, writes G. s.
Harrison of Nebraska to American
Gardening.

the Lafrd,. Last Drink.

The remark Of counsel in win case
the other day that there were two Pc
culiarities about highlanders. their
great devotion to the national drink
and their power of absorbing whisky
without apparently getting the worse
for 1t, recalls the old story of how the
laird Of Garscadden took his last draft
A considerable number Of lairds had
congregated in the cIachan Of law for
the ostensible purpose Of talking over
some parish business. They talked well
and drank still better, and one OF them
about the dawn Of the morning, fixing
his eye on Garscadden. remarked that
he was looking unco CASH very
chastity.
Upon which the laird Of KiImardin-
ny coolly replied "He has been VII his
Maker these twa hours! saw him

Mans vaunted faculties are far less
acute than some OF the lesser crea-

The human eye Is a wonderful piece
Of mechanism. with its little bundle 81
nerves that in some mysterious way
make INSTALLATION possible Yet this
eye, with all its delicacy of discern
ment, Is but circumscribed organ as
compared with the eye Of the eagle,
which sees infinitely farther than can
any human eye. The same is true of
the human ear. The rats and the mice
that haunt our houses, the squirrels
that caper about the woods and the
huinberless other little animals all
hear better than we do. They may not
trace refinement in sound as accurate
" aA can man, but for catching sound
at long range theirs are the ears most
perfectly constructed.
The sense OF touch is more accurate
ly developed elsewhere in the animal
kingdom than in man. No man made
device for measuring water pressure
equals that of the fish, whose sides all
strung with nerves register the water
pressure correctly every time and I'M
form his fishship just how much he
can stand and when to move up or

A dogs sense Of smell Is always re
spected by man, who frequently, as In
the case Of hunter, relies on 1t to sup

SUGAR BEET PULP.
what 1t Is and n Possible Impro-
ment of Its Value.

What 1t Is and a Possible Improve
ment of Its Value.
The establishment of beet sugar fac
tories has furnished farmers new
stock food in the shape of beet pulp.
This pulp is clean in appearance, al
most odorless, very wet and heavy, but
readily eaten by all kinds of live stock.
AS the pulp leaves the factory it passes
through press which removes some
Of the water, but leaves from eighty
nine to ninety three pounds of water to
each hundred pounds of pulp. In Ger
many presses have been introduced
which reduce the per cent of water to
so. Where each hundred pounds of
pulp are made up Of ninety pounds Of
water and ten pounds of dry matter it
Is evident that a ton of it will have
but 200 pounds of dry matter.
If by the use of improved presses a
pulp can be produced by the factories
hundred pounds Of which shall CON
tain but eighty pounds Of water. with
twenty pounds Of dry matter, it is evil
dent that ton Of 1t win contain 400
pounds of dry matter. In other words,
regarding the water as of no value, a
ton of the pressed pulp is worth, as far
as content Of dry matter is concerned,
twice as much as ton of the pulp us
found In the piles of the material at
the factories in Michigan.
Experiments in this country and
abroad have shown conclusively that,
while the addition OF a succulent food
to ration otherwise made up Of dry
feeds produces results indicating val
ne to the succulent food out Of all pro-
portion to its content of dry matter,
forcing an animal to consume an UNI
due amount of water results in posi-
tive loss. 1t is therefore to be hoped
that ere long the factories upon find
ing demand for the pulp as stock
food will so prepare 1t as to leave in it
no greater per cent Of water than 80.
At nearly all the Michigan factories
the great bulk of the pulp is left to de-
cay where it is dumped by the convey
or. Such state of things imperils the
health Of nearby residents and makes
the factory nuisance which the own
ers must take means to abate. The
farmers in the vicinity of the factory
are interested in the question whether
the pulp is a valuable stock feed,
whether 1t will pay them to haul 1t to
their barns and, finally, how it should
be fed to derive from 1t the greatest
possible good &C. d. Smith

carried the county this year. And the

This cuts off S82810 which could be
used in adding another month of
school in % districts. Assuming that
each stay-at-home populist shucked 30
bushels of corn in the time it would

allowing 3 cents a bushel, this slump

A Decade of American Finance

Jay Cooke has contributed an ar
ticle, entitled "a Decade of American
Finance" to the North American Re-
view. The first part treats of the his
tory of the national banking business.
and the second tells the story of the
struggles to build the Northern Pa
cific railroad. Says Mr.. Cooke: "The
government gave to the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company 1880, 900 acres
Of land, 12,800 acres per mile of rail-
road in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and
25,O0O acres per mile in Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, and Washington. The
sales of these lands ought practically
to have paid for the construction Of
the railroad which earned them" Yet
today that road claims it has in
vested the sum of $66,252 per mile of
line and ii the fiscal year ended June
80, 1900, drew from the shippers and
lion dollars gross earnings in order to
secure a fair return" upon the capital
invested d'-capital, which, according
to Mr.. Cooke, was given to the road by
a foolish congress pretending to repre-
sent still more foolish people.
1t will be great shock to some
republican historians to know that
Mr.. Cooke virtually admits that there
was crime of '73." He is by no
means free silver lunatic"-in fact
is opposed to free silver now, but he
says: 'The question of the continu-
ance of the silver on the old basis
might have been appropriately dis
cussed when silver was demonetized
in 1873. . This left the currency of
the country without a silver dollar
(Be careful, Mr.. Cooke, or the heao of
the Lincoln Daily Stars drivel de-
partment will get YOU'D and lessened
by about one-half the money which
the people used and depended on to
pay their debts with. Had the title
of the bill indicated that it proposed
to legislate the silver dollar out of
the United States, it could never have
passed
"The enormous discoveries of gold
in our country and in other parts of
the world have filled the vacuum of
legal tenders. Otherwise this wanton
and foolish destruction of the legal
tender character of the silver dollar
would have been disastrous indeed.
The immediate effect of it was to de-
stroy or lessen the ability of the deb
tor to discharge both foreign and do
mestic debts. Fortunate indeed it was
for the country that the wiping out Of
so large portion of our legal tenders
was supplemented by gold discoveries. )"
