ance and we can hardly wait until
the time comes to make the change
from the somber hues of winter to
the bright colors of spring and early
summer.
With Easter but a few days off
ones thoughts naturally turn in the
direction of new gowns and new hats,
and fcr this reason / shall make them
my theme, especially as there are
interesting things galore to say con-
corning them.
Too much cannot be said in praise
OF the spring millinery. It's price
Well, that is a different question.
Never have hats been prettier; and
the ridiculous streamers and curtains
Sc much in vogue the past season
have entirely disappeared, although
some milliners still adhere to the
French fashion of draping the hat
with long narrow chiffon veil which
passes round the back and ties in
front under the chin in soft bow
Gorgeous ornaments and fanciful
buckles are striking feature on
some Of the newest hats. The pref
ty floral toque is ever the first fore
runner OF spring, and just now is the
one most sought after. The most
desira bic models of this description
are composed of fine flowers like the
forget-me-not or lilac and trimmed
with loops of gauze ribbon. There is
a perfect furore over a tiny toque
made of fine white chip and trimmed
with a single bow of ribbon, but the
amount of ''style' displayed in one
OF these small creations spells igno-
minious failure to the amateur mil
liner.
An artistic woman can successfully
trim picture hat, provided of course
she has handsome plumes and plenty

the acme of smartpess, consisting as
it. does Of little else than a straw

another matter and requires the cum
ming manipulation that only the deft
fingers of the experienced French
milliner is able to bring about The

of style and this season it is more
charming than ever: The prettiest

the essence of smartness. While not
so elaborate as some we have seen
in the past season, it does not err on
the side Of too much plainness, but
is altogether charming and desirable
in every respect.
Much more radical changes are to be
noticed in the new spring skirt than
in any other garment brought out this
season.. Every kind of skirt is to be
seen except the perfectly plain one
it being thing Of the past. Only two
styles, however, can be said to have
any degree of popularity-the tunic
skirt for the tall slender girl and the
kilt-pleated one for the girl of larger
proportions. Much as we may lament
the disappearance of the clinging,
close-fitting skirt, from general
point of view l should say that the
mode OF, the moment will prove far
more universally becoming. The
sheath-ike skirt showed up every de-

Some of these new skirts are very wide
at the bottom and most of them are
cut to just clear the ground. It would
. seem, Judging from all the latest mod
els, that the dowdy-looking short
skirt might also be called thing of
the past. Let us; hope such to be the
case. It was generally unbecoming to
the majority of women, and especial

A Feature OF Irrigation That Is At

The Importance Of artificial means
tor bringing the increasing underfow
of water to the surface to lie utilized
in converting wild grazing land into
the most productive soil on the Ameri-

value five to ten fold, was the subject
Of all address before the recent irriga-
ton congress by the editor Of Modern
Irrigation, who cites one or two in
stances in support of the value of indi-
vidual pumping plants:
A Weld county (Colo.) potato farmer
owning $50 acres, forty-tWo of which
were above ditch an were valued at
$15 an acre for pasture land, installed
a $500 irrigating plant last May, and
by the aid of this plant the net product
of this forty-two> acres was .2S per
cent greater than the best crop raised
OIL that portion under ditch. While
the section under ditch was short Of

water just when needed, and be now
says this land, worth but $15 last year,
could not be purchased for $3.50 per
acre. -
Citing my personal experience along
this line, will say that in 1881 I sunk
we'll sixteen miles from the foot
hills, along which irrigation bitches
ran, conveying water from the noun
tains. This we'll was sunk eighteen
feet deep, securing water enough to
raise two feet in the we'll and supply
a hand force pump for irrigating one
half acre. In 1894. three years after,
I noticed tie water stood five feet deep
in the same well, and could not lower
it with the pump. In 1850, nine years
after the we'll was sur, the water
came within four feet of the curling,
making fourteen feet of water in the
we'll instead of two feet the first year.
This practical test and additional ex-
periments strengthened my belief that
as irrigation increases, spreading wa
ter over the surface of the land, the
underfow would increase proportions.
ately. This water would eventually
form waterways, seepage courses and
ind its way to or near the surface Of
the lowlands or plains and possibly
several hundred miles distant from the
mountains. To prove this have found
q good supply Of water in wells from
ten to thirty feet by digging in the bed
OF near dry waterways until gravel is
reached. In some cases well from
three to five feet in diameter will give
sufficient supply of water. E
In other instances have sunk wells
from eight to twenty feet in diameter.
This, of course, depends on conditions,
flow Of water and amount desired. It
1s often the case that the underfow Of
these dry streams is sufficient to yield
z valuable farm supply. s
