Washington, Oct. 25.-A pre-
liminary examination has been
made by the engineers of the
United States reclamation SER
vice of two important projects
in New Mexico, known as the
Triton lake projects. A cursory
examination indicates that each
project is feasible from both an
engineering and a financial point
of view.
) The land on the Hondo pro-
iect, which could be irrigated to
advantage, amounts to possibly
$4,000 acres, and the first esti-
mate of cost of putting the
water.on the land is about $50
per acre. Land which can be ir-
rigated most easily from the
Hondo reservoir is nearly all in
the hands of private parties, SO
that the question Of colonial
ton would cause no trouble. 1t
is all first-class irrigable land,
free from dlkali, and, because Of
the underlying limestone forma-
ton, it will never be troubled
from that source. The lands if
watered will be easily worth
500 an acre when planted in
alfalfa and corn, and if used for
fruit raising will eventually have
a higher value. The works con-
templated for this project are
the charging of the natural res
ervoir and an inlet and an out
let canal, which involve no engi.
neering difficulties.
The land on the Triton lake
prt ,ject is all government land,
with the exception of few claims
bordering the river. This land
is underlaid by a very porous
red sandstone, which will prob
ably afford good subdrainage
and prevent trouble from alkali.
The reservoir site is an excellent
natural depression aud will hold
10000 acrv-feet, without any
expense except for the out
let works, which will be in red
sandstone.
The works contemplated in
this project are a dam and head
works on the Pecos river, about
ten miles Iabove Fort Sumner,
about thirty.six miles OF canal
to carry LOO second-feet in
times of flood; three structures
at crossings of creeks; the neces-
sary outlet work, including a
tunnel 1000 feet long, and
about thirty miles of distribut-
ing canals on the lands to be ir-
rigated. A rough estimate of
cost of this project is $1,O2O,-
$50, or SIT perl acre. There is
little doubt that this land would
all be settled up rapidly, as it is
within twenty miles OF the Pecos
Valley and Northwestern rail
road. which line would undoubt-
edly build q branch to this Sec
ton.
There are, however, some uH-
certainties in connection with
the project which will have to be
considered, one being the posi-
bility of the reservoir not being
filed some years. The data re-
lating to stream measurements
are not complete, and it will be
necessary to continue the rec
ords of the run-off of the Pecos
river during the time the sur
veys of the canal and the irriga-
BILE lands are being made, and
during the construction until

THREE CODES OF LAWS.

There are three codes Of laws which
the farmer must observe to make a
SUGGESTIVE civil law, the moral law
and the natural law. Any number Of
men observe the two first named and
attempt to do business in utter disre-
gard of the last, when the penalties for
the violation of the moral and civil law
are no more certain than for violations
Of natural law. We give few in
stances, common ones, of the violation
Of this last named code-sowing poor
seed and expecting good harvest, the
continuous taking from the soil and re-
turning nothing, the use of grade sires
which are just as liable to transmit the
inferior qualities of their ancestors as
the good qualities, trying to grow two
crops on the same land at the same
time grain and weeds) total failure
to recognize the fact that all choice

AS TO WATER RIGHTS.

An interesting case has recently been,
decided by the courts. A man had a
fine artesian well which amply sup
piled his farm needs. His neighbor,
whose farm was on lower level, put
down three wells and by permitting
them to flow entirely cut off the flow in
the well of the neighbor on the higher
ground. These men were out with each
other, and the second man used his OPP
portunity to harass the other by leav-
ing his wells open. Suit being brought
the court ruled that the man with the
three wells could use only as much wa
ter as he actually needed and could not
maliciously cut off his neighbours sup
ply. Now, if this is good law it is a.
fair inference that If a man is the own
er of a wet farm which it is not posi-
BILE to properly drain without crossing
his neighbours land then he should have
the right to do so. This question will
receive much attention this coming
winter in the legislature of more than
one western state.

A WORD FOR OLD BIppY.

II you or your good wife are not get
ting at least 5000 year from the poul-
try which you keep on your farm there
is something wrong. and there is no
one little thing which it will pay you
better to look up. 1t may be and quite
likely is that your wife is getting from
$50 to $50 year from the hens which
lead free, wild life on your place,
roOSting in the sheds or in the trees.
stealing their nests and all that-the
common way, you know, just farm
scavengers. OF course what you get
from them when so kept comes easy
and seems like clear gain, but it is not
the best way by a good deal. This
sort Of care Is about all the average
farm wife can give, and as she rarely
receives any help or encouragement
from her good man to do better the
poultry business runs this way on
nine farms out of ten. The better way
would be for the man to take an inter-
est with his wife in the poultry yard.
provide proper houses, pens and coops
and suitable food rations and thus
quadruple the income from the poul-
try yard. A few men do this and find
that the egg money comes in a steady
stream every week in the year, while
during the holidays lot Of fat fowls
are ready for the market at good
price. Any man with farm so poor
or whose mode Of farming is so ami
quated that he has to be content with
twenty or twenty-five bushels Of corn
or oats to the acre can well afford to
go into partnership with his wife in
the poultry business and let her boss
the job. There are two farm products
which are practically unaffected by
economic changes which make what
we term hard times or good times, and
they are butter and eggs.

VALUE OF CORNsTALKs.

We are asked as to the value Of
lks-cOrnstalks-in the field after the
corn has been husked. Something de-
ponds upon how clean the corn was
husked. Taking nubbins, down ears,
partially spoiled and ears which are
overlooked by the huskers, there is in,
the average field not less than one
bushel Of corn left for the stock on each
acre. The stalks themselves after being
frozen and dried out are at best indif-
ferent food and not infrequently prove
very costly ration, as they cause the
death of the animals fed on them. We.
should regard so cents an acre a good
price for such feed. 1t is a wicked and
wasteful manner of utilizing 33 per
cent of the whole value of the corn
plant at best. Some day better way
will be practiced.
