AN ERA OF IRRIGATION.
Advan1ages OF 81 Comprehensive sys-
tenn for Every State in
the Union.

The following paper, written In Au-
gust, by request, for the Rural Cali
fornian, is submitted at this time in view
of the special interest in the subject.
awakened by the recent meeting OF the
national irrigation congress at Ogden, as
contribution towards a complete under
standing of it's Importance to the whole
country:
THE full significance of the new era
of irrigation on which the nation is now
entering is but vaguely understood by
the public at large, and is by no means
realized even by those who are to re-
ceive its most direct and special BENEFITS.
1t means the Inauguration of intensive
scientific agriculture on national scale,
and there is need of a comprehensive out
line of it, with such details CT its opera
ton as will serve to impress the public
mind with it's utility and permanence,
for it is we'll understood by the promoters
and friends of this vast system of agri-
cultural development that in the end 1t
is to be in general use over at least one
half of the national domain and will con-
tinue for all time. At present, however,
the public discussion of the irrigation
system is practically limited to the
reclamation of arid lands, whereas a
yet larger area of semi-arid regions, en-
bracing large sections of the country in
the so-called humid states having an un-
certain rainfall, will ultimately share in
the beneficence of this unfailing system
of agriculture. Indeed, within the past
year, experiments in irrigation have been
made in such states as Wisconsin, Mis-
souri,, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts and Georgia, and the irrigated
crops yielded more than double the value
of like crops, which depended alone on
the rainfall. Intensive cultivation in
evitably follows irrigation; this leads to
small, individual holdings, and these pro-
vide work and homes for families. Such
homes are the nurseries of patriotism,
and honest toll on the farm, with due
reward for the work done, always tends
to the growth of the essential virtues;
in a word, such system of agriculture
produces the highest type Of citizenship,
and as a matter of course, promotes the
security, prowess and perpetuity OF the
therefore warmly approve of complete
development of this profitable, certain
and scientific tilling of the soil, and not
only in the arid regions where irrigation
is necessary in order to render them haD-
table, and moreover results in making
them the most productive portions Of our
country, but also in every state of the
union where it can be made available for
largely increasing the value of crops in
ordinary seasons, and in times OF
drought, which occur too frequently, will
insure abundant crops in place Of failure
and inevitable distress and this will no
doubt be done just as soon as farmers in
such states learn to appreciate it's bene-
fits, for the general welfare will demand
it and the government will provide the
means for it's development"

not think of using anything but the very
best granulated sugar. If the feeding
can be attended to while the weather is
still warm the strip need not be quite so
thick-say about two pounds OF sugar to
one pint of water, which will make three
pounds of strip. If feeding is deferred
until cool weather has set in the strip
will, of necessity, have to be OF some
what thicker consistency, for the bees
will not be able to evaporate the super
fuous water out of it. In making sugar
strip be careful not to burn it while
boiling. In fact, it need not be boiled
at all; just pour the boiling water over
the sugar and stir until thoroughly dis
solved. When cool it is ready to give to
the bees. 1t is claimed by some bee keep
ers that if a few tablespoonful Of ex-
strip it will prevent its granulating in
the combs, but there is little danger of
this anyway. In regard to feeding the
bees, ahy safe way can be followed which
does not expose the feed to other bees
and ineite robbing. AS everyone has a
jar anG plate, | will describe the accom-
panying simple device. The drawing
above represents an inexpensive feeder
After the strip has been made, pour it
into an ordinary fruit jar, cover with a
single thickness of cheese cloth, and tie
with string around the neck of the
jar. Now invert on top of it a plate,
turn the whole upside down on top of the
brood-frames in the position shown in
as fast as the bees sip it up, but not any
faster.-F. G. Herman, Epitomist.

LECTURING IN POLAND.
Exacting Censorship Renders the
Working Unsafe and I'm
pleasant.

Russian censorship in Poland is so ex-
acting that not only is the writing of
books cruelty crippled by it's action, but
a public lecturer finds his work per-
plexingly difficult, says Youths Com
panion. George Brandes, the Dane, says
that he could refer to certain facts only
by stating them in a yelled language
likely to be understood by the wakeful
intelligence of the people, but blind
enough to escape the Russian censor.
In commenting upon a famous poem,
it was impossible to say directly: THE
cruelty described here was actually per-
petrated by Ivan the Terrible" He could
ONLY beat about the bush in this fashion:
when the principal character mar
rates how, with his sword, he nailed the
foot of the old minstrel to the earth, and
how the latter continued to deliver his
message undisturbed, it recalls an anec-
dote of the court of Ivan the Terrible. ;"
In this form the lecture passed the cen
sor.
Then there was another passage, a
poetical quotation, where the hero in de-
spair complains to God of the indiffer-
ence with which He allows man to suffer
"Thou art not the father of the world, !"
he cries, 'but it's tsar!"
Here again the speaker relied on the
ignorance of the censor where Polish lit
erature was concerned.
GAS the savages of antiquity, when
they were angry with their gods" he
paraphrased, discharged an arrow into
the vault of heaven, so Conrad filings this
taunt out into the universe: Thou God!
Thou art not the father of the world, but
its"
In delivering this speech he made a
pause of some seconds, during which a
shudder ran through the hall. Then
came the word "tyrant;" and the Poles
drew long breath and looked at one
another. No one moved a hand.
After such a passage deathlike 81
lence prevails, in order that the speaker
may not be compromised. Later, some
innocent phrase may be wildly applaud
ed, or the lecturer will receive enthusiast
tic tribute at the close, when no censor
could select the portions which had
called forth such a storm of approval.

against the trunk of some brown tree

tinguishable, and the black ruff about
the neck of the male will be laid
against the darkest spot of the bark.
Often it will double like a fox; often,
as man draws near, it will spring
noiselessly into some spruce and hide
until he passes, dropping then to the
ground and continuing its feeding;
often, too, it will decline to take wing,
though unhurt, and will run fast for a
half mile-so fast that the most expert
woodsman will be unable to keep pace
with it. This it will do only on leafy
ground and never when snow would
betray its tracks.

soutb American Sugar Plant.

The agricultural department at Wash
irgton is inquiring into the statement of
Consul General Richard Guenther that
a new plant has been discovered in South
America which promises to supplant the
sugar cane and the sugar beet Scien-
tifically the plant is known as the erupa-
forum rebandium, and it contains large
amount of saccharine matter and high
percentage of natural sugar properties
which are easy to extract. According to
Mr. Guenther, a lump the size of pea
will sufficiently sweeten cup of coffee,
as the product made from the plant is
from 20 to 80 times sweeter than cane or
beet sugar 1t is said to be easily cultis
waited in countries having climatic condi-
lions similar to those of the southern
portions of the United States.

CONTROL ING TURKEYS.
vents Them from Flying Over
Common Fence.

It is the nature of a turkey to be of
rowing, roaming disposition, and
though we breed them for thousand
years, they probably will not lose this
instinct 1t has always been this
characteristic that has handicapped
many breeder, and caused family
feuds and sooner or later the down
fall of turkey rearing upon many
farms 1t is a well-known fact that
turkeys fail to do well when yarded or
hampered in any manner, hence they
about the farm to meet with success
in rearing a brood
Turkeys are but little trouble in wan
dering away until half grown; then
their instinct leads them to stroll far
Their in quest of food. The first requi-
site, and very proper one to practice,
is to teach them to come home every
evening for feed, and to more readily
take up their night quarters there.
Since our farms are becoming more
extensively fenced with wire netting
or woven fences, it becomes much
easier to control flock of turkeys
within the bounds of certain fields
where they may CLEAN the waste grain
and many insects.
An ingenious device which we have
seen in use in several instances to con-
troll the flying propensities of this bird,
was made by boring holes in a piece
of thin, tough single about three by
eight inches in size and fastening this
"anti-fyer' upon the top of the birds
wings by SOFT stout string. This ar
rangement quite prevents their flying
over a common fence.
Of course, turkeys equipped in this
manner must be provided with low
perches in an open shed, which is the
proper place for the farm flock of tur-
keys to congregate. Turkeys which
persist in flying to the barn roof may
be equipped in this manner and easily
trained to go upon perches fixed in an
open shed, for they soon become docile
as flock of sheep and may be driven
about the farmyard, or back and forth
to the fields in like manner, and when
fattened for market may be driven
along the highways as readily as a
drove of hogs-George w. Brown, in

LAND Vowed IN FALL.
Many Claim That 1t Produces Larger
Crops of Corn Than Soil
Titled in Spring.

There is often a difference of opin-
ion among farmers of the same local
ity as to which is best for corn, fall
or spring plowed ground. This is
doubtless due largely to different con-
ditions. The kind of a season may also
make difference in the results. How
ever, we cannot tell beforehand what
the season will be like. Outlines, too,
the matter of fall blowing is one OF
expedlency. If the blowing of the
corn ground is left entirely until
spring. it increases the rush of work
naturally attendant upon this season
OF the year, increasing The liability TIC
do some of it hastily and poorly. Aside
from this feature, there are, however,
special advantages in fall blowing for
corn, especially when done rather late.
Numerous insects and worms that
have ensconced themselves in the soil
for the winter will be turned up and
destroyed. The turning up of the soil
late, leaving the surface in rough
ened, loose condition, favors the ABB
sorptlon of water from rains and melt
ing SHOWS. Prof King records diff
ference of 2.31 per cent of moisture
in the upper three feet of soil, on May
Ia, in favor of late fall blowing land,
as compared with adjacent unplowed
land. This means $50 tons more wa
ter in the fall plowed land for the use
of each acre of growing crop. Such Sec
tons as have just experienced two
exceptionally wet seasons will doubt
less be slow to appreciate the impor-
lance of this point, but there have
been plenty of seasons when it would
have been appreciated, and there will
be plenty more of the same kind. Late
fall blowing leaving the surface I'M
even and the burrows running in such
direction as will best hold the water,
not only causes more water to enter
the soil, but by lessening the run off,
lessons the loss Of soil by washing.
By this we do not mean that rough,
haggled blowing, is better than plow-
ing well done, because it leaves the
surface more uneven. There are other
considerations besides that of moist
ure, the blowing should by all means
be well done Whenever it is done. Then
to conserve this moisture in the spring
this fall plowed ground should be
worked over as soon as it is in proper
condition to work 1t is easier to OBJ
tain a nice seed bed on fall plowed
ground. On the other hand, it's finer
conditions allow it to settle together
and establish capillary connections
more readily than spring soil, and

Selection of breeding Fowls.

It is a mistake to winter over too
many fowls for breeding, especially Of
males. One turkey tom will answer for
a dozen hens, one drake may be kept for
every five ducks and about tie same
proportion for geese. One male guinea
for every three hens and on an average
one rooster for every fifteen hens. The
keeping of surplus males only adds to
the expense of the flock without return
ing any income Only such fowls should
be kept through the winter as are need
ed for laying, and breeding. = Farm

When Wounded.

The grouse has 100 tricks of defense

still until the hunter is within a yard
of it. then soar straight upward in his
front, towering like woodcock; again,
it will rise 40 yards away, and the
sound of it's wings is his only notice OF
its presence. 1t will cover upon a
branch under which he passes, and his
cap will not be more than foot be-
low it as he goes, and though it has
seen him approaching, it will remain
ouiescent in frightful fear until his
back is turned. 1t will flush then, and
when he has slowed himself hurriedly
around he will catch only glimpse OF
a brown, broad wing far away.

wintering Bees out of Doors.

A good way to winter bees in single
hives is to remove them to the south
side of some building, place the hives
close together, and cover with dry straw
on top and sides, and put few boards
over the straw to turn rain and snow.
The entrance should be left open, for
the bees need fresh air in winter as well
as summer. The little workers do not
mean to be shut up, SO would certainly
cause a disturbance. All the bees that
die during winter leave the hive, so, if
closed, this would be impossible. When
spring opens they should be removed to
the stand, where they are to remain the
rest of the season. A. e. Blackwa.

Rules for measuring Hay.

It is generally reckoned that ton of
newly stored hay measures 500 cubic feet,
which is practically a cube feet long,
feet wide and feet deep. Hay that
has been allowed to settle for some time
is usually measured by allowing 422 feet
to the ton, or a cube III feet long, ~
feet wide and 7Il feet deep. After it has
become thoroughly settled 343 feet will
make a ton, or cube having sides of
feet. 1t must be remembered that the
figures given above are only approx
mate and that after all good deal must
be left to the judgment concerning the
compactness of the hay. Sometimes fuz-
w clover does not settle very compactly,
sren though it has been stored for some
time, in which case some allowance
would have to be made in the measuring.

HOW to Eaten Turkeys.

!. Turkeys, if taken Alright, are easily
fattened, in fact easier than any other
fowls. But one must go at it in the
right way. If the turkeys have had a
free range all summer, you cannot fat
fen them with any satisfaction in an in
closure. The change will cause them
to fret and refuse to eat, and thus you
lose instead of gaining. Teach them to
come up at regular intervals, and then
stuff them. You will soon find them
ranging at short distances and coming

WINTER BEE FEEDING.
A Simple Plate and Jar Device Which
Has Been Used Successfully
for Years.

Colonies left on the summer stands
require anywhere from 20 to 80 pounds
of good food for successful wintering.
A little in excess of this amount will do
no harm, but on the contrary will slim
ulate the colony in building up faster in
the following spring. If one has on hand
some sealed combs of honey, few OF
them can be distributed among the light
colonies, but in the absence of these it
will be necessary to feed liquid honey or
a strip made of sugar and water. Do
