prosre.. of Irrigation

Az +ba government is about begin
 ming practical operations upon one ot
 inc largest of the irrigation proJectS
 to be undertaken under natlohal au-
 thority-that on the North Platte rlVar
 in Wyoming and Nebraska-it may De
 of interest to consider the present
 status of irrigation in the Uniseo
 States. While the reclamation of land
 for agricultural purposes has been
 practiced in America for more than
 thousand years-long before written
 records of it's history begin-a new era
 will undoubtedly date from the pas
 sage of the national irrigation act py the last Congress, and a marVelouS transformation in the arid and semi- arid regions of the country may con hdently be looked for as result of that Legislation.
 Although the act was passed carly in 1902, the intervening period mas been occupied in extending the inves- tigation and working up the VaIuable
 data previously begun and collected Cy the geological survey, so that the year | 1902 will naturally be the date rom which to make comparisons. Perhaps
 with this object in view, the census bureau of the Department of Comm erce and Labor has just issued q special | bulletin on the subject, bringing the | figures of the twelfth census up to | 1902 From this compilation It ap- pears that in that year 134,03S farms, comprising 9,4S7,077 acres, were under | irrigation, and that the greater part | of this area-nearly S,500,000 acres- was tn the arid parts of the West. | These engineering works, though cost | ing to construct more than $77,43O,OOO | for the arid region and more than Sl5,- | ROO. 900 for the semi-arid sections, and
 in the rice fields in the Southwest, | have meant in the first place the com version of worthless deserts into farm l lands which are producing crops or an | annual value greater than the total construction cost of dams, canals and | ditches. It has been estimated that | 60. GOO, 900 additional acres in the arid | States are capable of reclamation | through irrigation.
 When 1t Is remembered that the in- | crease of irrigation in the thirteen years between 1889 and 1902 amount | ed to 21 per cent and over; and this | meant ar addition to the national re- | sources of p-producing erea greater than Massachusetts and Con- necticut combined; that the success Of recent efforts has stimulated Interest. | led to the development of Improved | methods and machinery, and 10 the so- lution of difficult problems of water | storage and diversion; and that great | CT desert tracts once remote are now traversed by railways whose interest | if Is to open them to settlement, pre- | dictions unprecedented progress in the near future do not seem either extrdV- apant or unreasonable.-TeXas stock

tive tract. Each has it's specific cause.
 The germ of hog cholera can live for
 months in the soil. regardless of the
 character of the climate. The swine
 plague germ, on the other hand, rapid
 ly perishes in the soil and retains it's
 vitality by getting into the mouths and
 throats of healthy animals. In most
 outbreaks of so-called hog cholera, we find these diseases co-existing.
 Hog cholera may be of two kinds. , It may run an acute course and destroy a large number in a few days, or 1t may become chronic and last for months. In the acute type there Will be no alteration of the intestines, the l blood being the main organ affected. In the chronic type the losses are not so severe. The symptoms are more pro nounced, and 1t is probably this form which is best known to breeders. AS symptoms, there are dullness, shivering, | loss of appetite, thirst. fever and req ness of the skin inside the thight ana along the belly. In few days tnls l redness assumes purple or Nioie' ] color. A rash appears, as spots or oaI l red or brownish color which attaln tne | size of a silver dollar. The tongue is | covered with a brownish fur. The an imal grunts and screams when han- dled It moves feebly, is unsteady m gait and has plaintive cry. Frequently cough, which is hard and barking, lasts throughout the disease. Vomiting may be present When constipation per | sists the outbreak is unusually fatal' Generally, the bowels loosen by the third day and foul-smelling. The pulse now becomes quite frequent ana feeble. and the cough is painful ana exhausting Weakness increase till the
 animal gets down and is unable to rise, In some cases swellings appear anu lameness Is a notable symptom.
 | As to treatment the following pow
 der compound has, in my experiehce' given good results. It not only cures many cases, but will, in a large degree
 prevent it's spread. It costs very ht- tle-only about 15 cents pound when bought in ffty-pound quantities, or about 1 cent a day to medicate each hog. - | The formula and the directions TOT | it's use is as follows:
 Wood charcoal, 1 pound; sulphur l
 pound salt, 2 pounds; bicarponate or
 sodium, 2 pounds; sulphate or sodium, pound; hyposulfite Of sodiuin' | 3 pounds; sulf1de of antimony, l pounl
 Mix these thoroughly and give one ta- blespoonful to each 200 pounds or weight of hog once a day in soft feed' | In the case of animals that are too sick to eat, dissolve the proper dose Tn water and pour slowly-with frequent pauses-small quantities into the mouth between the cheek and teeth, allow ing the animal to lie on it's side or
 belly.-Press Bulletin, Floridaa EApeiF ment Station

Lawn Gras. for the Gulf Coast


 From a correspondent living on the seacoast comes an inquiry as to the suitability of Texas blue grass for a lawn.
 Your recent letter about lawn grasses is at hand. Answering your inquiry in regard to Texas blue grass I would say that l have never seen 1t used for a lawn. It makes a fairly satisfactory winter calf pasture at Au- burn but in this case the growth is scarcely thick enough for the best lawn. However, where dense sod is not required, but where the main de- sire is to have some green growth du- ring winter, think it the most prom ising lawn grass for winter use. As you know, Bermuda grass is the best summer lawn grass that we can ob- tain in this climate. St. Lucie grass to possess some advantages, but when grown here 1t did not show any mark ed differences from the Bermuda. It was tested by Prof. Nell here several years ago. who at that time was bot anist of the experiment station.
 think that carpet grass would per haps answer your purposes better than any other one grass. It is native to your part of the State, remains green late in the fall and winter, and makes a dense but rather coarse leaved sod It is not difficult to eradicate. Tt is best propogated by means of sods which you can doubtless obtain on low pasture land near you.

Sweet Potatoes and Chssava Tor
 Horses and Mules.


 Southern Cultlvator.
 bulletin giving the results of teec- ing horses and mules on homegrown feed-stuffs. has just been issued by Prof Charles M. Conner, Agricultur- ist of the Florida Experiment Station. In this experiment, homegrown feed stuffs were substituted for corn; the crops used were sweet potatoes, cassa- va and low grade syrup. Owing to the bulkiness of sweet potatoes and the smallness of the stomach of tho horse, this substitution did not take place to the extent that all the corn was dis placed by sweet potatoes or cassaVa. In the case of sweet potatoes three pounds were substituted for one pound of corn From ten to fifteen pounds were fed per day, depending upon the size of the animal,
 Four mules and four horses were used in the test. All were doing hard work, except the team of ponies, which did no regular work. The teams were divided into two lots, one of each team being in Lot and the other in Lot 2. Lot l was fed on a one-half ration of corn and one-half ration of sweet po- tatoes, with all the beggar weed hay they could eat. At the end of six weeks, the rations were changed and Lot was fed on sweet potatoes and Lot l on an all corn ration; thus m2k- ing the experiment extend over twelve weeks. All animals but two, made a slight gain while being fed on sweet potatoes, which proves that the ration was satisfactory. On the whole, the sweet potato ration was consid cred more satisfactory than any other fed.
 At the end of the sweet potato ox- pertinent. cassava was substituted for sweet potatoes, but this ration was not found to be as satisfactory as the former one, on account of the fact that the animals did not seem to like the cassava so well. This was also true when one mule was fed on ten pounds of sweet potatoes and ten pounds of cassava per day. with no corn. but all

Early Appearance of Potato Beetles.

Early Appearance of Potato Beetles. Early in March I was surprised to receive a letter stating that already the potato bug had appeared In the garden and that they had begun to eat the young potato plants as soon as they appeared above ground. He pro- posed to cut off the plants and to cover the stubble with earth, hoping thus to starve the early crop of bugs. course which seemed to me quite unpromising of success. He did not state whether the bugs in his garden were in the soft red stage, or whether they were full grown beetles, indicated by the dis tinct white stripes and hard shell. About April 1 I saw full grown potato beetles eating potato plants. As no young forms were seen it would seem that the mature insects were fresh from winter quarters. Has such an early appearance ever been noted be- fore in this latitude? It seems to me wisest to combat this first, and rela~ lively scant brood, by manipulating.
