IRRIGATION.
Water is the Life Of the
Soil.

Would you know some Of the ad-
vantages which irrigation brings the
agriculturists and horticulturists ;
Listen.
1t saves his crops from drought and
floods.
Water is the life Of the soil. BY ir-
rigation that life can be supplied ex-
actly when needed and in exactly the
proper measure.
1t makes the farmer the master of
his business. He does not have to de-
lay plowing and planting until the soil
dries or until 1t rains.
1t is his obedient agent. When a
crop begins to suffer for rain. he ap-
plies the remedy without waiting for
the whims OF clouds and Winds.
Through II he plants early. kee,s
the crop growing all the time. har-
vests early. and Of several varieties
of plants he can raise two or three
crops from the same land in a single
season.
Ia the arid belt he is able to har-
vest his whole crop; leaving it in the
field without danger of loss. before

Where more moisture is wanted for
a certain soil and less for another he
can exactly supply the wants of
each.
1t is the same when one crop re-
quires much moisture and another but
little.
Suppose fifty acres Of land are re-
quired to pasture fifty animals. The
eastern farmer turns his stock in the
field an0 leaves them 10 rustic. II the
season is dry one the pasture is soon
eaten off and the animals suffer. On
the irrigated farm fence would divide
the field into halves. On Mondey
morning the stock would be turned in
to one field and the other would be
irrigated. On the one side there
would bs good pasture for a week.
on the other there would be given
fresh start to the grass; the water
would be turned off. the surface would
have five days to harden. On the sec
ond Monday tho animals would be
turned into the other field amid luxur-
liant vegetation and the first pasture
would be irrigated.
Thus they would alternate and in
the autumn after dry summer the
animals would be ready for market
The crops on irrigated soil are per-
feet for they are not affected by droughts
or floods.
It Is cheaper. better. safer than
rain.
When the ground is prepared. the
cost of irrigation is but small fac
tor.
Irrigation is . science easily ac-
ouired. The man who sees his har-
vest ruined by drought while a stream
runs by his field. is half barbarian.

to utilize the gifts within his reach.
Ten acres of land and ten inches Of
water under the farmers hand is worth
moro than twenty acres without tine
water. even where men depend upon
rains for needed moisture.

York Finds Fusion Party
Claiming Victory
EXPECT A PLURALITY OF 10000
Chairman of the Republican Party
Says the Fusion Candidate Will Win
With That Many Votes to Spare
Betting Still Holds al Even Figures

New York, Oct S1.-Tonight viii
practically be the end OF the fusion
campaign. Meetings will be held thru
out the assembly distric IS up to mid
night en- Monday, but there are only
three big fusion mass meetings left on
the schedule. Last night the West
onstration in Durland's riding academy.
All the candidates spoke there and the
building was filled long before the
hour for the meeting. There We're
music, fireworks, and much parading.
Tonight sees the last two fusion rallies,
one at Cooper Union in Manhattan, and
the other at the Academy of Music in
Brooklyn.
AT Cooper Union last right there was
a mass meeting in favor of the 1000
ton barge canal project, which has been
indorsed by both the muyoralty candt-
dates in this city. A large vote is need
ed here to Offset the work of its oppon-
ents up state.
All the leaders talk cheerfully of
pluralities, Murphy, of course, using
the biggese figures. The enthusiasm in
Brooklyn last night for Mclaughlin
and Littleton is believed to foreshadow
big majority for Low in that borough
The republican poll shows fourteen dis
tricts in Brooklyn safe for Low. with
plurality in the borough of 10000. the
same total as estimated by the Citi-
zens union yesterday.
Comptroller Grout is challenged by
Mr.. Hinrichs, the fusion candidate for
his office, to say whether, in view of
reported campaign contributions by
public-service corporations. he will be
energetic in collecting millions of dol
lars of back taxes overdue from them
TO the city.
Ruffians in C. F. Mlrphy's district
early yesterday morning. severely beat
a man they mistook for w. S. Devery.
The ex-chief of police has offered a re-
ward of $500 for the apprehension of
the guilty persons.
Vigorous efforts are to be made until
the polls close on Tuesday to prevent
illegal voting. The man shot In the
Rossmore hotel early yesterday morn
ing is said to have come TO the city
at the head of a gang of repeaters
from Philadelphia.
Chairman Bruce of the republican
county committee yesterday gave out a
statement predicting a victory for
Mayor Low. Some estimates place
his plurality at $4,000.
r. Fulton Cutting, the Citizens union
leader riiiculed the estimates given
out by the Tammany leader, Charles f.
Murphy. He said the Murphy utter
ance was very like "a swan song"
Mr. Murphy repeated his claims OF
100000 plurality in the whole city for
Mcclellan mad of 5000 in New York
City. He called this estimate conserv
alive.
The betting yesterday, which was
very light, was at even figures.

The Religion of the Filipino.
lAlbert Leslie Pitcher.l

Albert Leslie TlIcneT.J
"All things considered at present the
Flipinos do not need to become Pro
teStants, but do need to be taught the
meaning of religion in the hope OF
making their Catholicism real and of
service to them. In pursuing the lat
ter course the superstition and deep
rooted adherence to custom is not dis
turbed. and further, we would seem to
have no designs on his church,; where
as a religion that was merely thu
preaching Of pure faith and in ntpa
shack or an ordinary boarded house
displaying none of the panoply of the
middle ages, would move his suspicion
less than his contempt To do this we
must have American priests and Am
eriean teachers; the latter to pave the
way for the former, not in a religious
way, however, for the least approach
to Protestant tendency in the schools
is inimical to their results. The pc
culiar relations between the priest and
his parish are such that in the hands
of the right man, the patient, friendly
sort of worker, American ideals and re-
ligious ways could be sown; and II
big. manly soul, with love for his
people-and they are lovable-this
priest could so root Americanism that
the youth would become a forest of
might for the home country, and the
coming generation taught to think
about religious matters could be left
to choose between the Roman and the
Protestant churches.
Professionalism does not yet appeal
to the Filipino; he can not understand
why there should be various sects.
l have often been asked about this,
and my reply that we did not agree
on some of the minor matters of re-
ligion weakened our church in his es
timaton. But let him grow for ten
years in an atmosphere Of religious
liberation and his natural inquisitive-
ness will provoke investigation OF Pro-
testantisin. and his love for holding
office of any kind. and particularly
church office, forbidden ground 80
long-these characteristics joined to his
ability to independent thought will be
most potent agencies working for the
Protestant faith"

While there is an element Of the lu-

admitted that there are many elements
OF the Salvation army's methods of
reaching their audiences that appeal
to the temperament of the Kentucky

The uniforms Of the men, the poke

the drums, the tinkling cymbals, the

more strongly than the exhortation Of

1t must be remembered, however,
that these Kentucky feudists are not

MAcHEN COULD EXPLAIN.
BY Turning States Evidence New In
dictnents Could Sc Secured.

Washington. Oct 81 AS announced
last Monday. the Bristow postal
report carries the transactions
Machen and Beavers up to
Perry Heath, who. as first assist
ant postmaster general, had TO sign ali
orders and contracts In a way to prove
very embarrassing To aim. 1t will show
that the grating done by Machen and
Beavers was largely dependent on OBJ
tanning Heath's signa,u re, and the in
ference of most readers will be that
Heath was either a party to their
transactions or that he was grossly
negligent of his public duties and in
different to his responsibilities.
The grand jury did, early in Septem-
Der, consider the case OF Heath and de-
voted considerable time TO that side OF
the postal scandal, but there was no
evidence to warrant an indictment
which would hold before the courts,
advised against it.
General Bristows inspectors found
positive evidence of money transact
tons between Machen and Beavers
with the contractors but they found
no evidence that any Of this money was
ever paid to Heath or that he had
knowledge of the bribery of his subor-
dinates.
Machen's trail wax plain and the
government has evidence to show that
he got Il percentage Of every contract
payment in his department.
If Mr. Machen had any knowledge OF
this General Bristow did not discover
that part. and it viii never be known
except thru Machen oy turning states
evidence.
The postmaster general is a personal
friend of Heath and would not permit
General Bristow to go outside the EVIL
dence to embarrass Heath, but he can
rot protect his FRIEND from the conse
aueneest of his lax official administra
ton.
