L. Adams is firm believer in the
great advantages Of winter irri-
cation. 1t is his experience that water
put on alfalfa lands in the late fall or the
early winter is as valuable as the spring
irrigations. the evaporation being so small
as to be scarcely appreciable. He is con-
fident that many farmers make a great
mistake in not fully utilizing all the water
that is available for winter irrigation.

THE PRINCE OF WALES

Continued from Page Eleven.) capacity as a Lieutenant. the Admiralty ordered him on May $. 1880, to the com mand of the Thrush, large gunboat des- tined for service on the North Amerlcdn and West Indian station.
 In the year following he was deputed by Queen Victoria as her representative to open the Industrial Exposition at Ja- maica.
 Dislikes Royal Honors.
 In all his travels Prince George has always deprecated the necessity of being received with royal honors. Upon his arrival in the West Indies he asked Sir George Watson. the Admiral in com mand of the station, for permission to be treated simply as an ordinary naval officer. When this wish became known he proceeded to go about among the people and the places to which ms snip was dispatched on an equality with the other officers. From Jamaica the Thrush was ordered to the west coast Of Africa, and Prince George was promoted to the rank of Commander. He was then in his tWenty-seventh year.
 George paid visit to his brother the Duke of Clarence, at Dublin. During this visit he was attacked with typhoid fever. the effects of which have chung to him for many years tha It pHe wds oofe of car r ence was attacked with pneumonia, to which he succumbed,
 The loss of his brother fell upon Prince George with overwhelming force. In a Hush his whole future prospects were completely changed Up to this time his naval prospects had been his chief thought Up to this time also he had been observed but casually by the Brit ish public at large. The British had re- garded him as a remote possibility in the line of succession.
 Prince George wanted to attend the cup races at New York two years ago, but the privilege was denied him.

 Wren fonnd the ruins of a church built by the Christians al the days of the Ro- this structure. There was Christian church here as far back as 1,G00 A. D., and there was cathedral on this spot when the great fire of London came and wiped 1t out in l666.
 Sir Christopher Wren began his work upon the present structure fifteen years later and he lived to see it completed in l7l0. He watched the job for twenty years and in that time received the mu- nificent salary of $l,O0O per annum as his architect fee. Nevertheless the cathedral cost S70C,O00 to build. Had Sir Christo. pher received the fee of per cent. which our architects now demand he would have gotten Sl85,000 for the job, and after look ing the building carefully over, l am sure it was worth 1t.
 How Americans Made a Million.
 Still men of all sorts worked for less in those days than now. Samuel John son, whose grave l mourned over in the churCh-hlS statue stands not far from that of the Duke of Wellngton-made al- most nothing out of his dictionary, his total receipts for his work being less than SS,OOc, the most of which was eaten up by clerical hire. That dictionary then was as great an undertaking in compari- son as the Encyclopedia Britannica is now, and the latter work, which has al- ready run its day in England, made a million dollars for soma Americans who brought into England the Yankee system of selling books through the newspapers. When they first proposed the selling Of the ency clopedla in this way to the Lon don journals, the publishers laughed at them. At last. however, they interested The London Times and through that pa per on the installment plan sold so many books that it is said their profits were 25e, ,0O0 pounds, or $1 1,25O0O0
