Sir Horace is vice president of the Irish Board Of Agricul- ture, but he is best known in the United States as the owner of large ranches in Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. An agent of his named Blair, is now in the United States for the purpose of indue- ing young Irfshmen now in American cities to go to Sir Horace's ranchs and get an insight into the system he en- ploys there in the hope that they may be induced later to return to Ireland and become practical agriculturlsts in their own country. He will also send out direct number of young men from Ireland next month. He will pay their passage and from the moment they be- gin to work on the ranches, they will receive wages equivalent to what un- skilled labor would command in any city orNtown in the United States.

Diking and land reclamation, going hand in hand, began to be devel- oped on a huge scale from the begin ming of the 17th century. The method employed is as follows:
 An ercircling dike. cutting off the land to be drained, is built, then wirid- nils, now steam engines, are set to work to pump up the water so shut off, which IS then expelled into a system of arteries connecting the one with tn lother, and constituting collectively what is known as a "bosom," which
