The Boy.

A boy is an odd piece Of furniture,
but he is the ground and chief ingre-
dent of the man. Delude not yourself
with the belief that the boy is not all
he pretends to be, for he is great deal
more. He is an incomprehensible fell
low to any one but another boy, and
because he will presently grow into
the awkward between hay and grass
period that separates boyhood from
manhood, and to q numbering idiot
then, don't signify that he is an idiot
now. He never is. But his chrysalis
state letters him and makes him seem
like one sometimes.
The boy is all right.

YEARS BUSINESS AMOUNTS
TO MANY THOUSANDS
Total Business for Year 1902
Is $500. 868.6l

The Missouri Valley station
of the Chicago & North Western
system is credited with cash re-
mittances amounting to $685.
868.61, for the year 1902 count
ing from Jan lst until Dec. 31st,
this sum having been realized
from the passenger and freight
traffic departments in this city,
during that time. The total
means the actual cash sent in to
the Treasurer of the road and
does not include the thousands
of dollars paid out on time
checks during the year.
Since the advent of the Up
dixie Elevator and various other
industries which have located
in Missouri Valley during the
past few years, the city has
rapidly forged to the front in
the North Westerns list of
good" towns, considered from
a revenue producing standpoint.

Until the last year or so all of
the pictures of fine live stock
which have been appearing in
the farm papers were made from
drawings and, as the artist tried
to picture an ideal animal, the
illustrations looked as much like
the real animal as a wooden In
dian looks like a live Indian
The first paper to run it's illus
rations from actual photog raph
was the Twentieth Century Far
mer, in fact even today it is the
only publication which has it's
own Photographic department
and which spends the money to
send it's photographers to the
farms of the best livestock bree-
ders in the west. They travel
as we'll to the fairs, stock shows
and the best farms and orchards,
in fact everywhere, to get time
ly pictures to illustrate The
Twentieth Century Farmer. If

was finally determined to levee
the Sacramento river through
out the overflow region and
thus confine the increase volume
of water during the annual
freshets; it being held by the
engineers that the greater depth
of water obtained in a given
channel by contracted walls the
greater the velocity and the
the cutting force and the
lowering of the river
bed. Singularly enough this
theory was borne out by prac-
teal demonstration.
"Dredgers we're constructed
at a nominal cost and placed in
operation at once and while the
banks were raised from the riv-
er deposits the channel was cor
respondingly lowered by both
current and dredger.
Gas to results: bordering Co.
lusa, Suffer, Yolo and Sacra-
mento counties, the river has
been thus confined and made a
magnificent thoroughfare for a
growing commerce and render
ed a blessing rather than a me-
mace to the farmer and fruit
grower of that region say moth
ing of the fourishing towns and
cities in it's course. In justice
to this splendid work | will state
that many of these towns and
cities as we'll as palatial homes
along the Sacrameto river, are
below standard high water mark
Districts of miles in extent, and
islands of many thousands of
acres have been reclaimed until
one of the greatest grain and
fruit growing sections of the
state is to day found on lands
which under former conditions
would have been but a vast Tule
swamp full Of mosquitoes and
malaria.
Looking to the preservation
of these splendid valleys and the
natural avenue Of commerce
legislation of state character has
long since restricted all placer
mining to the ability of the mi
ner to make provisions for the
care Of the tailings from the
fumes, as no sedimentary de-
posits are allowed to enter the
streams.
"The levees in general have
the appearance of railroad gra-
des and are frequently used for
wagon roads; they are protected
by willow-hedge -screening pla-
ced between the levee and the
river.

vice working on the principle of

ing from a sea going steamer to

the other FARMER.

On the reclamage of the Okla
fenokee swamp of six hundred
and twenty-five square miles,
Gen. GA. Gilmore, reported IA
vorable to Congress, calling at
tention to the successful drain
age of a similar swamp on the
river Ouse, England, and to the
work of the Tule Land Recla-
nation Company, Colusa Coun-
ty, California. "The company
owned $4,000 acres of overflow
ed land, and with the aid of a
powerful steam ditcher it is es-
timated by the company that it
cost but two dollars per acre to
reclaim it. The work done by
the steam ditcher is of the most
thorough kind, erecting in its
course an embankment twenty
feet wide at the base, four feet
wide on top and four feet high.
The worthless land reclaimed
by this work now produces for
ty bushels Of wheat to the acre"
In confirmation of the above
| / herewith submit additional
proof afforded me in the past
ten days by an old resident Of
California and one who has made
a personal investigation of the
Reclamation work in the over
flow districts of the Sacramento
and SanJoaquin valleys from
Coluss county down.
The report is as follows: "Du-
ring the early pioneer days of
the State, sea going vessels and
ships from foreign ports easily
navigated the Sacramento for
more than a hundred miles, or
the present site of the city bear
ing the same name. But the
great rush for the mines, and
the introduction of hydraulic
methods, soon caused intense
alarm among the inhabitants of
the valleys, who had opened up
small farms on the two princi-
pal rivers of the state.
"The debris or slickens from
the mines of the foothills rapid
| ly filled the beds of the noun
tain streams and the spring
freshets washed such deposit of
the gulches into the rivers till
the channels were so filled that
the volume of water could not
be carried off as formerly and
annual floods became the rule;
while at an ordinary stage of
water, navigation was threaten
ed and by the the larger vessels
entirely discontinued.
early it was apparent that
radical measures must be pur-
sued, for the floods were disas-
ferrous in the extreme, water
standing at one time six feet
deep in the streets of Sacrament
