Professor Rashbacher, who is max
ing study of irrigation here for the
benefit of settlers on the government
tracts has spoken before a number of
the farmers associations recently on
the method of measuring water, says
the Twin Falls Times, to ascertain
whether each irrigator is receiving his
proper allowance. Following is a
condensed report of his address:
There are three different units used
in the measurement of water. the unit
used depending upon the amount of
water to be measured. The miners
inch used to measure the smaller
quantities. According to the laws Of
the state of Idaho a miners inch con-
sists of the amount of water flowing
through an orifice an inch square un-
der a constant head of four and one
half inches over the center of the
opening.
The Miners Inch.
If an irrigator wishes to measure
the actual number of inches of water
flowing through he can do so very
easily by constructing a board dam
across the ditch and cutting n slot an
inch high and extending nearly across
the dam.
If we'll fitting slide be put into the
slot and drawn out until enough of the
slot is left free to allow all of the
water in the ditch to flow through
with the water level standing above
the center line of the slot four and
one-half inches, then the length of
the slot in inches is the number of
inches flowing through the ditch.
The cubic foot per second or second
foot is used for measuring both large
and small quantities of water and is
being generally used in place of the
the miners inch. A second foot is
simply the flow of water which will
fill a box a foot square and one foot
deep in a second of time.
1t is generally measured by means of
weir set in the ditch with some sort
of recording device for registering the
height of water flowing over the weir,
each different height corresponding to
flow of certain number of second
feet; this flow is computed with tables
which are worked out for weirs of
different sizes.

The Acre Foot.

The acre foot is used for measur-
ing extremely large amounts of water.
1t is the amount of water required
to cover an acre one foot deep and is
equal to 43,560 cubic feet. This unit
is mainly for determining the capacity
of reservoirs and determining the
amount of water applied to the land
during the irrigation season.
BY duty Of water is meant the
number of acres irrigated by a secon
foot of water. Thus If an irrigator is
allowed a second foot and irrigates 80
acres with that amount the duty of
water on his field is 80. The higher
the duty of water the more skillful
and intelligent the irrigating. The av-
erage duty in the arid states is close
to 80 at the present time.
There are several easy ways for a
farmer to measure the amount of
water flowing down his ditch. About
the easiest way is to dig hole about
10 feet square and foot deep and
notice the time it takes to fill. Divide
this time, in seconds, into 100 and the
result of the number is the number
of cecond feet Of flow. Multiply this
result by so and we have the number
Cf Ininprs' inches
Another way is to measure some
distance, say so feet, in a straight
stretch of ditch and notice the time
required for chip to float this dis
tance Get the average width and
depth of the ditch somewhere on the
so feet stretch.
Multiply the average depth in feet
by the average width also in feet, and
multiply the result by so. Divide the
result by the time taken to pass
through so feet and the final result
is the number of second feet flow
ing through the ditch.

Everett is going to hold poultry
show during Christmas week.
The work of the careful and ener-
getic poultry raiser is crowned with
success.
The recent poultry show at the
Lewis and Clark fair was the largest
ever held on the Pacific coast.
You can't afford to keep any runts.
Kill off those fowls that show little
sign of ever being up to weight.
Is your poultry house in order for
the winter? A warm, well ventilated
house is as necessary for material re-
suits as good feed.
Do you have pure-bred poultry or
eggs for sale? Advertise in The Ranch
and you will get more orders than you
can supply, if your prices are right.
1t is good to have the merits of the
different breeds of fowls discussed as
fully as possible. Concerning the Leg
horn one writer says: 81 would not
have Leghorn on the place, as
would not care to keep them confined
and the pesky little things can creep
through knot hole, and as to scratch
ing, they are capable of moving about
as much soil in day as the average
man working out his road tax cares
to handle"
The following wash or paint for
rough work, such as hen houses, lasts
several years. No more should be
mixed than is used in a day: Stir
into one gallon of whole milk about
three pounds of Portland cement
and add sufficient venetian red to
give a good color. Any other color
may be used. The milk holds the
paint in suspension, but as the cement
is heavy it will sing, so it is neces-
sary to keep the mixture well stirred
WIN paddle. This feature of con-
slant stirring makes it job unsuited

sets the cement better than skinned

Six hours after painting, the coat be-
comes hard and very protective.
In the value of poultry products
Iowa stands first, Illinois second, Mis-
souri, third and Ohio fourth.
If you want winter eggs, do not fail
TO provide a scratching shed. Fifteen
hens with a good scratching shed will
lay more eggs than thirty without one.
The science in making money with
poultry is in making each individual
hen pay.
For a good egg production and
plenty of meat the heavy fowls take
the lead. One poultry raising farmer
says: I'VE have kept large breed
for many years and find it profitable
to do so as our fences do not have TO
be made so high and then when com
pany comes or the threshers turn up,
it does not take half the flock to
make a meal and when we go to mar
ket they pull down the scales until
the dealer looks around to see II we
have not put stone in the coop to
make it weigh so heavy, but he finds
no stone. Only few hens, and he
makes out a good big check.
Don't let your hens freeze this win
ter. The time to think about fixing up
the hen house is right now before
the cold weather sets in. If you want
to do it right cover the roof and hides
of the hen house with Malthoid roof
ing. If you don't know where to get
it write the manufacturers, The Par
affine Paint Company San Francisco,
CAL. mentioning The Ranch, and they
will send you a sample and name
the nearest dealer who keeps it. You
can see at a glance from the sample
that no wind can blow through NAL
thoid and that it will last as long as
the hen house. They will also send
you a book of thirty-twO views of the
Portland exposition where Malthoid
was used to cover all the buildings.
