IRRIGATING MACHINE.
A Novel Device for EIevatfng Water
from Streams and Discharging
1t ON Higher Land.

1t is becoming more and more APP
parent that irrigation is destined to
have larger place in the agriculture
of the humid portion of the United
States than few years ago was
thought possible. Market gardeners
around all the large cities of the coun-
try are coming to realize the profit
and security from drought which it
brings, while the development of the
arid west by irrigation is soon to oc-
cupy a place in the affairs of the ma
ton, being already under investigation
by the department of agriculture. The
solution of the problem of irrigation
rests largely in the quantity of water
available and ability to direct it about
the land at low cost. David Hutton, of
Quartette, New, has designed novel
machine for elevating water from
streams and discharging it on higher
land, the apparatus working automat-
ically and without cost, after the in

MOST people think that catarrh is a
IVA disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be tina the nose and
throat are the oftenest affected by Ca
tarrh, but il this is so it is SO only be-
cause these parts are more exposed to
the vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
Of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend ON ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many cases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the

GOOD ROADS TRAIN.
Unique Travelling Educational En-
terprise Managed by Govern
ment Road Inquiry Office.

What might be called school on
wheels is being sent by the govern
ment through the southern states,
with corps of teachers on board, and
quantity of material to help illus
trate with object lessons the instruc-
ton given to the people along the
route.
This travelling educatio enterprise
occupies train of dozen cars, two
of which are fitted up in hotel fashion
for the accommodation of the staff of
instructors and their assistants, while
the other vehicles are fiat cars loaded
with an extraordinary variety of pom
derous machinery. In fact, such q
weighty and elaborate outfit for
school purposes was never seen be-
fore in the world; and as the caravan
moves along through the sunny south
land the inhabitants may well be as
tonished. It is like circus without
the animals-a comparison by no
means intended to be disrespectful, in
asmuch as the affair is in reality of
very serious Importance and practical
value, being designed for the purpose
of encouraging the movement in be-
half of good roads.
This peripatetic school is organized
somewhat on the model of a kinder
garten. All the people along the route
who will come and be taught are it's
5000 in number. At each stopping
place lessons are given in the art of
building roads, from half a mile to a
mile and half of first-class dirt road,
gravel road or stone road being con-
.structed. The kind chosen depends on
the material at hand; if the stuff is
available, sample of each is built
There could be no more simple and eff
fective means for conveying substan-
tial and practical information.
The good roads train,'' as the trav-
cling school is called, is run by the
National Good Roads association,
with the help of Uncle Sam. Director
Dodge, of the government road inquiry
Office, is head teacher, and his chief as
sistant is Mr.. NJ. o. Eldridge Several
engineers, specially trained in the
business, accompany the expedition,
and there are about dozen expert
workmen to perform the actual labor
in the construction of the sample bits
of road.
The amount and variety of machin-
cry taken along is surprising. On the
fiat cars are carried road grading ma
chimes, rock crushing outfits (includ-
ing elevators, separating screens and
bins); steam rollers, horse rollers.
traction engines, wheel scrapers and
plows. The plows and wheel scrapers
are used in the preparation of grades,
for reducing hills and filling hollows.
The traction engines are for running
the crushers, hauling stone and draw
ing the plows and road machines. The
road machines are for rounding up the
earth foundation, and the rollers are
employed to consolidate the material.
