DEEP IRRIGATION.
Nv G.. M. Hawley, Ell Cajon, Cal.


NAV contain, for the benefit OF the
growing crop. This being established,
tbe next question is the best method
If securing these results. There are
practically three systems of irrigation
IN use. the basin system, the furrow
evstem and the subsoil, or deep irri-
cation system. The first two accom-
nlish practically the same results,
leaving the surface wet or saturated
ond reouire immediate cultivation as
soon as the soil is dry enough to per-
NIT. in order to produce dry earth
mulch to prevent evaporation. The
advocates of this system assume that
the plant food that nourishes the crop
is nearly all in the surface soil, and
IN become available this should be
kent moist While their theory seems
good there are certain Qualifying con-
ditions that make the practice bad,
and it is not in accordance with facts.
Prof. Hilgard assures us that in coun-
fer distinction to the east, the Cali
fornia subsoils contain plant food from
many feet in depth that can be made
available if the roots can be got down
there. By making a reservoir of the
subsoil instead of the surface, these
results can be accomplished and the
attended evils of surface irrigation
avoided BY surface saturation there
is a tremendous evaporation going on
until a dry mulch is formed; its ten
dency is to form an irrigation hard
pan or plow sole just below the cul-
tivated surface. 1t also brings the
feeding roots near the surface neces-
stating frequent irrigation and in
capacitates them to stand the effect
of hot, dry winds.
With deep irrigation we make the
burrows apart, usually following with
a subsoil pillow, breaking up the bot
tom of the furrow and running the
water a much longer time in each fur
row than by the other method.
My practice for winter irrigation is
to make the burrows nearly on level, !.
so that when we turn in the water
there is practically no current and the
water goes straight down until it
meets a resistance surface, which is
the bottom of my soil reservoir, and
there begins to spread out and is re-
tanned where there will be the least
possible chance for evaporation. If
your furrow is steep so as to form
much of current or, in other words,
if you flush your burrows, there is a
sediment that forms on the bottom
that prevents perpendicular and pro-
moJes horizontal saturation. In land
that has a good depth of soil and is
filled with water, drainage is very
slow, varying with different soils and
conditions. With proper cultivation
tAls moisture may be retained in some
instances for several years.
To retain winter rains I would cul-
t1vate the surface thoroughly and
then plow, using no clod crusher or
cultivator. This will tend to prevent
the baking and assist in perpendicular
tieepage of water.
In conclusion deep irrigation tends
to educate the roots downward and
make them drought-resistant it pre-
vents in a large measure the forma-

Another valuable addition to the

the Operation ofthe Burglars.

Some time last night bold burglary
was committed at this place. Some
one who evidently knew the habits OF
the family of Mr.. l.. J. Vlrts. who
keeps the restaurant here, as we'll as
the Surroundings of the house, entered
the dwelling and carried ot5 consider
able money and valuables.
1t was MIR. virts custom to sleep
during the hot nights on the-seeond
floor with the porch door oren. Last
night some one took advantage of this
and climbing uD the grape arbor, cut
through the vines and gained entrance
to the porch. From here it was an
easv matter to enter the sleeping
APARTMENT of the family. Mr.. Virts,
with his wife and three small children.
we're sleeping i'll "a room with bright
light burning. The marauder WAS
evidently very cautious. for he worked
in the room with the light burning
without disturbing any of the occu.
pants. The thief went through Mr.
Virts' trouser pockets and distracted
wallet containing 500. 90 in cash and
checks, he LETT his coat undisturbed
ana thereby missed considerable monev
and revolver. From a bureau drawer
he obtained a fine ladies gold watch.
He made a pretty thorough search
of the room but nothing else seemed
to tempt him.
The boldness of the robbery is the
talk of the place and the fact that the
family slept through the whole affair
and only discovered the loss this morn
ing on awaking is proof. that.the occu-
pants of the house are sound sleepers
AS yet there is no clue to the robbel
and he left nothing in his tracks by
which he could be identified. The
total loss is about 800.

LEG TERRIBLY CRUSHED.

was Amputated Above Knee mt Kings
Daughters Hospital Thursday Even
ing by Physicians.

Thursday evening about 5 O'Clock
just as the men were getting ready tc
stop work for tile night. Charles
Stewart, workman at the Standard
Lime and Stone company's auarries,
south Of this city, lad his right leg
crushed almost TO jelly, by being
struck by large stone.
He was working along with other
men at one Of the steam drills, when
the stone which weighed about a ton.
came rolling down the enbankment
and struck him The stone which was
near the top Of the bank, was loosen
ed by the recent rain and the jar of
the drill, and came down OH the men,
without a seconds warning. The other
men saw the stone coming before
Stewart did, as he was between the
bank and the drill with his back to
the stone. The other men after warn
ing Stewart, jumped and escaped
without any injury, but Stewart was
in such a POSITION that ne would not
get out of its way in time and was
struck
The stone after much work was
rolled off his leg and he was carried
from the scene The men in charge
thought that he should be Immediate
ly brought to the hospital in this city
but he refused nntil his parents had
been notified. Word was sent to his
parents and his mother came to the
scene and accompanied the injured
mah to this city. He was brought TO
this city in a wagon and taken to the
Kings Daughters hospital, where he
received medical aid.
He was working at the quarry at
The Woods, as it is called, which is
located near the Big Spring. He has
been working with the company for a
long time and this is the first injury
that he has received. He is aged
about 90 years and unmarried. His
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Stewart
reside near Tabler's Station, this
county.
After being taken to the hospital.
the company's surgeon, Dr. J. u. 4.
Sponseller, was summoned and after
consulting with Dr. N. ID. Baker, it
was decided that amputation was nee
essay, as the limb was in such "a con-
dition that blood poison would have
set in had it not been taken Off The
operation, which was very success
full one, was performed by Drs. Spon.
seller and Baker.
The injured man was resting as
easily as could be expected FRIDAY af-
tegnoon 5and ii Is thought that he will
soon recover. lie will be kept at the
hospital until he has sufficiently re-
covered to retnrn to his home.

one of the boldest and smoothest

been Derpetrated in this city occurred
last night, when the dental establish

lhe second floor Of the building at the
corner of West King aud Col eae
streets, wFs entered by unknown per-
sons and robbed OF every grain of gold
in the room. and boz of rare and
valuable silver COINS.
The robbery occurred some timesbe-
tween 8 O'Clock Monday and 8
O'Clock this morning, end the work
was thorough and complete in every
detail Or. Smith left his office at .
o'clock Tuesday and descended to
the sidewalk. and while standing in
the doorway noticed the only SUSPECT

and passed close to the doctor As he

stairs sharply, but went on without

in certain degree natural one,
bnt coupled with the less discovered
By him when he entered his office,
ssumes decidedly queer look. and
serves IN measure to fix the identity
of at least one of the gang that did
the work
DR.. Smith discovered his loss short
lv after entering his office, and as he
was about to fill tooth for a patient.
He made nasty search for his gold.
but found that every particle of it
had been taken. A more careful
search also disclosed the fact that a
box of rare silver coins was also mis-
sing. One of the later was an Amer
lean dollar of the year 1900. DR..
Smith lost more than two ounces of
the purest gold used iu filling. a large
quantity of bridge and crown work
in an incomplete and finished oondi-
ton. plate gold and gold solder. The
actual valne of the stolen articles is
estimated at about 500. IN addition to
the work on tie bridges and crowns.
The rooms were entered by NEAR
of skeleton keys, and the robbery is
undoubtedly the work of an organized
gang that is now operating in this
state. Saturday evening three dental
offices in C'arksburg were entered and
robbed of god to the value of about
S4e0. Sunday night six offices in
Fai Tmons were catered aud robbed of
material to the value of about $780,

From the mysterious looking spots
upon the front Of the Cummings
building at the northwest corner of
the square and the delicate odor Of
hydrogen sulphide which have been

might be led to conclude that some

may have had the intention of max

they have not found it necessary to
work for living but have managed to

be hard to say. Since their coming,
there have been no more conspicuous

hour of the days or nights. If the
appearance of their dOmicile were
taken as an index to the public senti-

that their presence was no longer deSir.
