water delivered to each farm. Each
person owning land will be able to Sc
cure water for 160 acres and no more.
ALL government land will probably be
settled in so or 120-acre tracts. and
will be entitled to water by provisions
of the law of June II. 1902.
An association must be formed, COM
posed of land owners under the canal,
in order that the secretary of the in
terror may know if they want the wa
ter or not, and that he may know the
number of acres of private land to
provide for before the construction be-
gins. Those not taking water cannot
get it afterwards, as the water rights
are attached to the lands of the own
ers and members of the association
and remain SO, selling with the land
only.
After the system is ready to deliver
water, the actual cost must be met by
those benefited. The assessments will
be annual and probably divided into
ten payments, thus giving the owners
ten years to pay the cost with no in
terest and no profit to the government
whatever.

work Of dairying and the impossibility
of hiring girls at any price to do a
slaves work, as they called it, that
caused the stampede out of the bust
ness. The calves were let run with
the COWS, some hogs were bought, and
also sheep and horses, which, with the
raising of grain it was thought would
make life easy. But the COW now
comes home, not carrying with her
the making of a butter check, but on
her back the Texas itch. because she
had to hustle with strange critters.
The sheep have the scab, maybe. The
hogs fall off in price little and many
of the horses stray away, while the
grain cannot be marketed until fall.
1t requires pin money now to get
things running for the fall sales, and
the butter check is missing. The les
son may be a valuable one, as there is
likely to be stampede by the stock

\ local authority writes this paper:
"Thcre is something wrong with
the farmer who cannot produce
milk at profit this year. His failure
to do so is invariably due to the use Of
Shorthorn and Hereford bulls and to
the poor care he usually gives his
cows. The average farmer treats his
cows i'm an unhuman, abusive manner
and he need not expect profit from
them as long as he continues 1t. 1t is
a pity that there is no law compelling
farmers to properly care for their
cows. Many times families are de-
prived Of common education and
even the ordinary comforts of life
because of the poor care given to the
COWS. There are sections in this state
at the present time where lucern hay
is selling for $500 ton with light
demand, butter fat for Is cents
pound and yet the people .of some of
these sections are living from hand to
mouth"
