Irritation In Humid States.


A circular of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture says: The
rise in prices of agricultural lands in
the last few years has made it neces-
sary that farmers should get the
largest possible return from their
lands, and has created general in
terest in whatever will help to that
end. One Of the aids now being con.
sidered Is irrigation. In the East Il
Is not, as in the West, absolutely
necessary for the raising of any crops,
but, like fertllizing or thorough cult
walton, is a means Of increasing the
returns from land. The whole ques.
ton is whether 1t will pay. The re-
port Of irrigation investigations of the
Department Of Agriculture for the
year 1901, carried on under the direc.
ton OF Elwood Mead, gives some val
liable data ON this question. The re-
port covers experiments in Missouri,
Wisconsin and New Jersey. A series
of experiments extending over sew.
eral years at the Wisconsin Expert
ment Station at Madison show y
marked increase in yields of farm
crops. The average increase In the
yield Of clover hay on irrigated land
over that from unirrigated land has
been 2,5 tons per acre; the average
increase in yield Of corn has been
1886 bushels per acre; and potatoes
show gain of 1873 bushels per acre.
The annual cost of irrigation at Mad
lson has been 1858 per acre, not In
GLIDING any interest ON the invest
ment, but including all extra labor.
At current prices this leaves a net
profit from irrigation of about $40 per
acre on hay, 81 per acre on corn,
and $7S per acre on potatoes. The
conditions of soil and climate at Mad
lson do not differ from those Of the
Middle West generally, and the re-
suits given above show that where
water can be obtained without too
large an outlay irrigation as a part
of intensive farming is very profitable

FORAGE Crops Improve Soil.

Three states which are noted for tho
production Of forage crops not only
have maintained the original fertility
of the soil, but they spend for COM
mercial fertilizers less than 1 per cent
Of the annual value Of their crops,
while those states which pay least at.
tention to forage crops have impover-
ished the soil and spend annually for
fertilizers from to per cent Of the
total value Of their crops.

Frocks for Little ones.

A noticeable feature of the new
frocks for the little ones Is the con-
tinued popularity of black and whits.
The liking for this combination of
extrems& has gained rather than lost
with time. Frocks for almost every
occasion are of soft white fabrics,
trimmed with broad sashes with long
loops and ends at the waist and with
floating ribbons at cuffs and collar.
Over this is worn the redingote Of
black velvet, silk, cloth or MORE
which has been in style so long, and
q hat either of black or white.

When about two months old he started for Oregon with his parents; that on the plains he attacked with bubonic plague; and the doctor wanted to bury him; but he kicked and they brought him on to the coast, and when young ma n came to Alaska. Three years ago he celebrated his 43rd birthday in Wrangell, the place of his fancy above all others, and today he was celebrating it again seemingly as afraid as a woman of divulging his true age. But it leak ed out that it was his 18th birth day. Then the whist tables were brought out and a few games were played when Mrs, Thomas served an excellent lunch. The evening was a most enjoyable one, and the guests hope that the commissioner may live many years to remember the occa- sion. Those present were: Mir. and Mrs. w. c. Thomas, MT. and Mrs. L. c.
