subdivisions have not yet been estab-
lished and a man filing upon the piece
of land he desires would stand little
show at present getting filings upon the
exact piece Of land he desires. which
would cause an amended filing and
considerable annoyance to the pros
pective settler and to the land office.
Mr.. Taylor has several parties Of
surveyors in the field laying out lines,
In all nearly 100 men, divided between
the various camps. The work will be
prosecuted all winter. for the season is
very mild here.
The government will only allow this
land to be taken up In 6O-acre tracts
and only to bone fide settlers. The
water right Is i~nseparable from the
land and will cost the settler about
S1.5o per acre per year. In five years
the land will thus be paid for. but five
years more. paying $l.50 per acre per
year will be required to recompense
the government for Its outlay. at which
time a perpetual free water right will
also be secured. This system will
prevent lands being taken up for specu-
lation and sold at the end Of five years.
The land by this time will have become
so valuable that there will be no dam
ger Of its passing into large holdings.
thus being p%erpetually reserved for
home sites.
This system, when fully carried out,
will mean the addition Of 10000 peo-
pie to Churchill county, all Of whom
will dwell beneath their own vine and
fig tree.
BY the way. the fact must not be
overlooked. that to State photographer
L. H. Taylor is due the thanks Of the
people Of the State Of Nevada for the
manner In which he has been conduct
ing this mammoth undertaking. He
Is ahead OF his confreres in other
states at least a year. Nevada was
the only state In the arid west that was
ready to take up the irrigation work
when congress made 1t possible. Mr..
Taylor had already measured the water
flow in every considerable stream in
the state and was ready with all other
data desired by the government. Since
the enterprise was begun he has labor
ed constantly with a large field and
office corps and now has every posi-
Bile fact and figure for presentation to

ever desired. Mr.. Taylor is certainly
a wonder and Is doing yeoman service
for the state.

The farming, horticultural and
live stock features OF Texas are pre-
scented i'm some of their most inter-
esting and progressive phases In the
proceedings of the fifth annual ses-
sion of the Texas Farmers Con-
gress, which Is now ready for dis
tribution. It is a book containing
2l0 pages. While much of the pro-
ceedings were published in the press
of the state, still from the nature of
the case these publications could
only be in part. The questions ask
ed and the answers given drew forth
some of the most instructive and
entertaining features of the Con-
gress, and generally these direct ef-
forts to secure special information
from men who had achieved success
could not be printed in the state pa
pers, because of the space required
for their expression. The Congress
deemed 1t advisable to publish
the proceedings of the fifth annual
session in book form and'practical-
| ly complete, because from the nat
ure of the program it is impossible
for any one person in attendance at
the Congress to hear more than a
| portion of the discussions that are
carried on in several places through
out the day, and that the progress
i've people of Texas may acquire a
| just scope and usefulness of these
meetings, and that the many valua-
bic papers may be preserved for a
more general perusal, and tor fut-
ure references.
Independent meetings were held
at the A and M. College during
July 1902, by the Texas State Horti-
cultural Society, Cotton Growers
Dairy and Live Stock section, State
Beekeepers Association, Truck
Growers Association, Poultry, Pig
con and Pet Stock Association,
| Women's Industrial Section, and
the Texas Nurserymen's Associ.

The printed proceedings contain
the best features of each Of these
meetings. Some of the subjects
discussed are presented indicating
the variety of topics embraced with

moss. But he doesn't paint the picture
Of the man whose tongue Is parched
with fever, who tumbles and tosses in
his hot room and narrow bed while the
bacilli OF the bucket and the we'll are
striving for his life. That wouldn't be
q poetic theme, and he has nothing to
do with a theme that Is not poetic.
As a matter Of fact the old we'll and
It's familiar bucket have been the means
of diseasing whole neighborhoods. The
microbe is everywhere, and the easiest
vehicle for its introduction into the body
is perhaps the water we drink. We
can't keep the microbe out. We can
prevent It's harmfulness.
THE DANGER or DISEASE
does not lie in the strength Of the
microbe but in the weakness Of the
body. When the blood is impure the
microbe has a vantage ground from
which to operate. When the blood is
pure disease fails TO find a breeding
ground, and the microbe strives in vain
against the man. Nobody can be healthy
when the blood Is impure. Taint the
blood and every organ fed and nourished
by blood must share the taint. Keep
the blood pure and plentiful and the
body Is made strong TO resist the assaults
of disease.
