Sweet Potato Culture.

and horses are fond Of sweet potatoes

Effect Of Irrigation In the East,

AHGCG OF irrigation IN tine E99Ts
OF the fourteen great irrigation pro-
Jects, for which the secretary of the
interior recently set apart $27, 100000
OF the reclamation fund, seven will,
according to the estimates of the en-
gineers in charge of the work, reclaim
1,1O8, 900 acres Of land, at a total cost
Of SO, $4,000, an average Of $11.97 per
acre. When the immense increase in
the value Of the land effected by lrrI-
cation is considered, the cost is by no
means great much similar land selling
at $40 and upwards per acre.
AgriculturistS in the East are al
ready beginning to wonder what will
be the effect ON the farming industry
Of that section Of the reclamation OF
tho vast acreage which 1t is expected
to render fertile by irrigation. They
say that the opening up Of the West,
the cultivation Of the great wheat
fields Of the Northwest and the large
area in the corn belt has already
driven the Eastern farmer to inten-
siVe farming.
The opening up Of the vast irrigated
areas must result In the adoption Of
intensive methods In the West, and
they are anxiously waiting to see to
what the Eastern farmer will be driven
when that change takes place. Those
interested in irrigation, however, main
tain that the reclamation of the arid
sections will no more than keep pace
with the increased population, and
consequent demand Of the country, and
that Eastern farmers will never know
the difference"

The next afternoon, Ethel felt that she

CHAPTER XIV.


Ethel did not entirely recover from
the effects Of her fright. until after the
nights sleep had served to calm her
nerves, and all the evening that followed
she was excited and scarcely able to con-
troll herself.
When she babe the family good night
and locked herself into her room, in or
der to proceed to her nightly task, it was
with a dazed feeling, and an aching
head. Nerving herself for her duty, how
ever, as we'll as she could, she proceed
ed TO light her candle, and taking the in
dispensable knife, she passed through the
wardrobe and passageway, into the cor
ridor beyond.
Possessing herself of the basket Of
food, she remembered to fasten the door
with the iron hook, a prpcaution the bar
onet had charged her always to observe,
that by no possibility could she be sur
prised while accomplishing her task, then
passing onward, she opened the panel as
usual, and placed the plate Of food upon
the shelves.
As she did 30 she heard distinctly q
movement on the other side, which, being
rather unusual, for silence alone ordi-
narily reigned, startled her already ex-
cited nerves 80 much that she gave the
shelves the required shove, and just as
they whirled away, she saw, to her hor-
ror, when too late to stop them that she
had dropped the knife from her hand,
and 1t had gone around with the food.
Breathlessly she waited for the return
movement, hoping that the creature with
in would not observe it, and that it would
come back with the plate.
As she waited, a singular loud, shrill
noise or cry came from within. The next
moment the shelves had reVolVed, and
the plate alone appeared.
Appalled, with her own carelessness,
and fancying she knew not what as the
result, the terrified, half frantic girl,
could only draw to the panels, with all
the expedition possible, aud then hastily
return the basket, fasten the door and
seek the safety of her own apartment.
What was now her dutyH Should abe
Immediately seek the baronet, who was
probably asleep by this time, and telling
him the mishap, ask what was to ba
doneH
No! she could not think this course a
wise one. The baronet was an exceed
ingly passionate man. Such a tale, at
this hour, would throw him into a whirl
of nervous anger that might cause dam
age to the broken hip, the bones of
which, all hoped, had by this time COM
menced to unite.

would be beneficial to do SO. she was able
to give a natural spring as he held out
his hands to assist her to the ground,
when at length they drove up to the
entrance of Glendenning Hall.
There was a happy smile still upon
her lips aS, after thanking and bidding
her kind friend adieu, and seeing him
lift his hat as he drove off, she ran up
the piazza steps to pass to her room.
But the smile vanished instantly as
Belle came forward from behind the
heavy screen Of vines, and with an angry
look In her eyes, exclaimed:

So saying, Ethel passed on, leaving the
angry, but aStonished girl to her own re-
hsctionS. That these were not of very
pleasant nature, the following whisper
gave evidence:

Pneumonia in Chicago.
Over 5000 people died of pneu-
monia in Chicago last year. In
every case the disease resulted
f ON a cold. Had the cold been
promptly and properly treated at
the outset almost everyone would
have recovered. This statement is
abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands
throughout this country who use
Chamberlain S Cough Remedy to
cure their colds, no case of pneu-
monia has ever been reported,
which shows conclusively that this
remedy is a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has gained its wide repu-

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Both Nationai and State govern
ments have we'll organized depart
ments for the purpose Of assisting
the agricultural industries of the
country. They are willing, yes
anxious, to cooperate with the far.
mer IN bringing about the best re-
suits from mother earth. These
departments are willing to send and
are now sending, to every part OF
our great State, experienced men,
who can and are giving to the far
mers the benefit of this. experience
and assisting them in every other
legitimate way to better their con-
dton in life. In return for all this
they only ask the attention and in
terest of those engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits. No admission fee
is charged and no expenses are to
pay; the government itself footS
the whole bill.
This attention and interest can
be shown by the organization of
farmers institutes. These lnSti-
tutes are good in many ways
Aside from their business features
in which is had the cooperation of
the government, no small item in
these modern days, they afford an
opportunity of getting together on
many other important lines.
Another phase of usefulness of
the farmers institute is disclosed in
the railroads seeking to increase
the productiveness of the soil along
the railway lines, thus increasing
the tonnage of their freight traffic
and bringing prosperity to the peo-
pie. Only through organization
can we bring this about. While
the railroads are of course prompted
by self.interest, they can and will
benefit their patrons. By assisting
the farmer in securing seed of prop
er varieties, supply them with the
latest methods in cultivation, gath
ering tor market and finally to find
for them profitable market for
their products.
therefore we should encourage
these efforts, form associations and
institutes that we may come to-
gether often for an exchange of
ideas and that not only may the
producing be systematic but the
selling as well. People in other
states have been engaged in this
kind of work for years and
even in our own State the govern
ment, the railroads and the press
have joined in great crusade for
the farming interests.
