stated in his talk before the meeting held in Riverside to protest against this bill that if we were using too much water, it ought to be taken away from us; and in this pamphlet from which we quote above, he makes it clear that be believes we are using too much water and that we ought to be deprived of some of it,
 How do the orange growers of Riverside enjoy the prospect of law whose author admits that it would set machinery in operation which might deprive us of a portion of the water supply which we have secured by years of effort and by enormous eX- penditures of money? We have fought out our right to this supply in the courts and by years of practical eX- perience have demonstrated the amount that our groves need. Now Judge Works comes along and tells us that We do not know how much water we need to use, that we are wasting a portion of our supply and that a law ought to be passed that will make it possible for somebody to take this surplus away from us.
 That seems to be a fair interpre- tation to put on his statements.
 It is evident in the first place that Judge Works knows nothing about the system of distribution of water under the canals of the Riverside Water company. It is true that the company is a mutual" affair, in a sense that it's stock is owned by the irrigators, and it's management is in their hands But the water which it

Judge Works Attack on Riverside.

The Riverside Press takes up the water question as raised by the Judge Works Bill, in very forceful manner as follows:
 In the somewhat lengthy, and it must be admitted, not altogether good tempered, statement which Judge Works has made in defense of his ir- rigation bill, he takes occasion to single out Riverside and the River side Water company for a special attack. If the people of Riverside needed any argument that the bill ought to be defeated, the statements which Judge Works makes in his pamphlet, which he has had printed and circulated among the members of the legislature, will certainly con vince them. A portion of this state ment was published in the Press of Saturday and we make the following brief extract at this time to serve as a text for this editorial:
 One inch of water to four acres of land is a wanton and useless waste of at least half of the water. The Riverside Water company has nc right any more than a private citizen would have, to waste this large quantity of water, and thus rob others of it's use.
 Now this kind of charge ought to arouse every irrigator in Riverside to an appreciation of the dangers which threaten this community if this bill should become a law. Judge Works

As stated in bulletin issued by the United States Geological Survey, the greatest opportunity for the reclama- tion of arid lands in California, and perhaps in the entire Southwest, has been found to lie in the utilization of the waters of the Colorado river on it's adjacent lands in California and Southern Arizona As a result of an investigation along this river, made in January, 1902, by the Photographic branch of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, the extent of the alluvial bottom land between Camp Mohave and Yuma, was found to be 100000 to 5O0,00O acres-Yuma Sun.

WHAT HE LEARNED.
Quail or Toast Was Not Such an Tn
common Deticacy as He Had
Supposed.

In the wire grass region of Georgia quail
are very abundant, and are known to the ma
tives as 'partridges,' says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
Recently one of the south Georgia crack
ers" sold off a lot of turpentine land and de-
eided to indulge himself in a trip to far off
New York while his money was still in hand.
Once in the amazing metropolis, there was
another indulgence he was determined on.
Delmonico's was a name that had long ago
tickled his fancy, and quail on toast was a
high bred dish that he had long yearned to
know personally.
SO to Delmonico's he hied himself, and
there ordered the delectable bit. 1t came,
he eyed it severely, then tasted, finally
sampling thoroughly. But his after COM
ment on the feast savoted of that sad knowl-
edge which borders close to disgust.
"Wall, eff | hadn't come to New York I'd
never knowed that quail on toast warn't a
blamed thing but Glynn county pa'tridges
stuck up on burnt light bread"

Strange South African Animals.

A naturalist at Hanover, Cape Col
ony, describes many remarkable small
animals which abound there. Among
them is a gecko, called by the Dutch
farmers "getje," whose large tail
comes off with a slight touch, and re-
mains jumping about on the ground,
attracting the attention of an enemy,
while the animal itself sinks away,
and eventually grows a new tail.
Among the solifugae is a most ex-
traordinary animal resembling a
spider, sometimes nearly three inches
long, and of which Mr.. Cronwripht
Schreiner says that he knows '"no
creature which for its size is so ter
ribly armed" Its disproportionately
large head is made up mainly of a dou-
BILE pair of nippers of great power.
The '.iacht spinnekop," as the Dutch
call the animal, hunts for its living
and is a fierce fighter. Sometimes it
will kill a scorpion. There are many
trap-door spiders that display great
ingenuity, and several poisonous spe-
cies of dreadful appearance.-Nature.

Pear Growing POnnlar.

Every class of fruit has its day with
the amateur. Just now the pear is on
the rising tide of popularity and is
being doomed by the nursery agent.
Car loads of this delicious fruit are
shipped into the north annually, and
the home grower who has fruit to sell
has no trouble in realizing good prices.
If you have rolling land, with good fair
drainage and a clay soil, and there are
a number of such locations in the en-
trail west. you may be safe in trying a
few. But for the northern half of the
belt or on low black soils, beware.
Under such conditions the pear blight
has blasted more than one mans hopes
after years of patient care and wait
ing.-Midland Farmer.

MAKING GOOD BUTTER.
All authorities Are Agreed That
Success Depends on Proper
RipeninE of Cream.

The all-lmportant question of the
day with creamery and dairymen is
how to obtain a uniform and fine fla
vored butter. Nearly all investiga-
tors agree that the secret lies in the
proper ripening of the cream; and
when we read of the tons of ~low-grade
butter brought into the markets daily.
all owing to the fact that-the negli-
gence or ignorance as to the proper
treatment of the cream lies at the root
of this great fault, 1T appears to be a
point worthy of consideration.
To state the subject of starters
plainly and intelligently. it is neces-
sary to take the fundamental princi-
pie of the ripening of cream into con-
sideration. The ripening of cream in
cludes two features upon which the
quality of the butter largely depends.
These are flavor and texture. The eff
fects of ripening with starters are far
more marked upon the flavor of but
ter than upon the texture. for it is
during this process that the character
istic i~f1avors are developed. Cream
ripening is merely a fermentation
process caused by bacterial growth.
This growth is controlled by tenn
perature by which a rise from 60
degrees Fahrenheit, and not to ex-
coed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, induces
Z growth and develops immense num-
bers of bacteria; while lowering the
temperature retards growth. The ac-
ton of these germs in cream results in
the conversion of a part of the milk
sugar,into Tactic acid, and a slight for
nation of carbonic acid gas and a few
other volatile constituents not def
nitely known.-Midland Farmer.

the gutter back of the COW catches

There is no rule to give for the ex-

height and length; however, piece No.

point of shoulders, and from one and

GRAVES IN THE A
Hundreds of Bodies In Lake Superior
That Never Come to the
Surface.

While the water used in Chicago may
have to be boiled, the consumers are
at least spared the pain Of knowing
that it is drawn off the top of a subma-
rine graveyard. The harbor of Duluth,
on the contrary. is a graveyard to all
intents and purposes and lacks moth
ing but monuments and receiving
vaults to make it complete, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Owing to the extreme coldness of
Lake Superior the bodies of persons
who are drowned there or who are
thrown in sink Immediately to the bot
tom and never rise. Over 500 dead lie in
this submarine graveyard within one
mile of the Duluth lighthouse. In Du-
luth, besides those drowned in the har-
Dor itself, the bodies of those who are
drowned in. the river are carried out
by the current into the lake, and sink
to the bottom in the deep water. Nor
are they long without sepulcher. The
sands gradually cover them, the action
of the water rounds off the little
mounds where they lie, and there, Sc
curely tombed, they await the final
trumpet.
Sam Wilson, of Cleveland. one of the
best known divers on the lakes, saws
that in the harbor of every great city
built on cold water the same conditions
exist. He says that often at a depth
of 60 or 70 feet he has encountered the
mounds which mark the last resting
place of some unfortunate victim of
the water.
The lower end of Lake Michigan has
water of a much lower temperature
than that of Lake Superior, and the
bodies of the dead rise to the surface
and are carried by the waves and de-
posted on the beach. James Mark
ham, of the chief of policies office, says
the best proof that dead bodies do not
lie in the lake off Chicago is that before
the drainage commissioners taught
the Chicago river to flow the other way
sailors who have fallen from ships in
the river and drowned were carried
into the lake, and the bodies would.
after a few days, be picked up along the
beach, sometimes along Lincoln park,
but more often on the South side be-
You'd Twelfth street. The bodies of
persons drowned far out in the lake
are in time washed by the waves up to
the sand along it's margin. Sometimes
the bodies have been in the water SC
long and buffeted about by currents
over the rough bottom of the lake to
such ar extent that only the semblance
of a human form is found on the sands.
but enough to prove the fact hat Lake
Michigan is not a graveyard, as is Lake
Superior.
