Irrigation In Wisconsin.

For some years Irrigation has been
carried on experimentally in wiseon-
sin under the direction OF the state
university Some OF these expert
ments have been conducted at Madi-
son and some at Stevens Point. Last
year the drouth In Wisconsin being
very severe. the results In favor or
irrigation were very marked. In tho
potato fields alone the yield was 100
bushels OF potatoes In favor Of those
irrigated. This difference does not
exist In most years. but irrigation is
always an insurance against loss from
drouth.

ney, n. S. W, the. correspondent
there Of the Daily Mail gives an
account of the terrible drouth from
which, as a climax to seven dry years,
Australia is now suffering. The CORE
spondent says that the losses in stock in
Australia since 1893 amount to Els. 900, OOO
Unemployed men are drifting into the
cities by thousands and there the state
governments are providing them with
relief
The only districts which have escaped
the drouth are the northern rivers dis
trict of New South Wales and parts of
the Riverna district The situation has
been aggravated by the federal duties on
fodder. which prevent its importation.
Communication in the interior has been
paralyzed, as the waterways are unnavi-
gable. Owing to the expense of fodder,
the firm which had the contract has
abandoned the hauling of the mail in
Queensland. the cost Of transportation
having risen from 5000 TO $4,000 an
nually.
Sheep are dying by the million, con-
tnues the correspondent, and even the
rabbits are starving. Animals have
stripped the bark from the trees for food.
A common method of treating exhausted
horses is to slit the animals palate with
a knife; the horse is revived by swallow
ing his own blood Numbers of sun
dOwnersp and .'swagmen" have been
found dead by the waysides. The gov
ernments are doing everything possible to
alleviate these conditions, but meteor
ol0gtsts despair of any change in the
weather conditions.

BEEF SHORT IN CHICAGO
Teamsters' Strike Causes Many
to Do Without Meat Shops
May Close.

Chicago, May 21.-Chicago's beef sup
ply from the stock yards has been al
most entirely cut off. and unless the
concessions demanded by the striking
teamsters are granted within the next
day or two, the city viii be face to
face with a meat famine. Not only
have the big packers failed in every
attempt 10 smuggle meat out OF the
yards, but the wholesale and retail
butchers. who usually drive their own
wagons and take out loads of provI-
sions. have been forbidden TO do so in
the future. A number Of them were
today allowed to carry away stuff THAI
they had bought from the packers, but
they were warned not to return for
any more until the trouble is settled.
AS a result there is a movement on foot
among the loo or more butchers or
Chicago to close their shops for week
or TWO. or as long as may be necessary
TO defeat the packers in their fight
against the teamsters. Most of them
declare that they are in sympathy with
the strikers and feel that stopping the
sale Of beef would be the most effective
way 70 help the teamsters.
No unions have yet declared a sym
pathetic strike. but many individual
members have been doing all in their
power to aid the teamsters and if the
present situation continues much lon
ger it is asserted that other local
unions. such as the ice and coal men,
may join in the strike.

KEARNS PRESENTS PETITION.
Asks Creation of Forest Reserves in
San Juan County.

Washington, May Ex-senator Kearns
today filed with his recommendation a
petition of numerous citizens of San
Juan county for creation as a forest
reserve townships 80 and 81 south,
range Il east. and 80 and "a south,
range p east. containing all the prac-
tically valuable timber land in San
Juan county, and also composing the
principal watersheds Of the county on
which its agricultural interests solely
depend for water,
The petition states that the object of
the proposed reserve is to protect the
timber and thus by preserving the
snowfall avoid insufficiency of the wa
ter supply. The amount OF land irri-
gated is about 5000 acres. and much
additional land can be irrigated by
protecting these watersheds. The petit
toners also request that stock be pre-
vented from grazing on the proposed
reserve.
