consideration to canals and reservoirs,
the division and conveyance of water,
than to it's distribution and application
to the soil. The time is coming when
the most important problems connect
ed with irrigation will be the needs of
the plant as regards moisture, and not,
as at present, those of storage and con-
veyance An interesting report has re-
Gently been made to the Office of ex-
the expert, which covers the matter of
preparing land for irrigation and the
methods Of applying water. DR.. Mead
gives high credit to the comparatively
small number of farmers in this coun-
try who have devised the present
methods of using water.
Among methods of preparing land
for irrigation the building Of laterals
as carried on in Colorado and Wyo-
ming is described as follows:
In building laterals the first thing
to be considered is the lay of the land
over which the water must be made to
flow. Judging the true slope of ground
by the naked eye is very uncertain,
for even the most experienced are Of
ten deceived as to whether the surface
of the land rises or falls in q given di-
rection. Where possible every system
Of laterals should be laid out with an

made of the whole area. In lieu Of the
services of a surveyor the irrigator
may lay out his own laterals, using one
Of the many types of homemade level
ing devices. The average grade for
field laterals should vary from one
half inch to one inch per rod, depend
ing upon the nature of the SOIL
No special devices are manufactured
and put upon the market for building
laterals, and farmers have been obliged
to depend upon their own ingenuity.
The following device was constructed
to simplify the work of excavating
bitches. Two steel beam plows, one
with a right and the other with left
share, were placed side by side and
their beams riveted together. The
shares of the plows were spread to give

Young Animals In Demand.

In order to supply the demands of the
present day market for young animals
it is necessary to employ improved
blood, says st. Louis Republic. 1t is
impossible to make scrub steer salts
factorily thick at the age of twenty or
twentyfour months, although this
may be done with any of our recogniz-
ed beef breeds, even if the feeder is
possessed of only average skill.
In the future we believe that the
market will demand even younger ami
mails than it does at present, and in
view of this it becomes more and more
necessary for men to build up their
grade herds by the use of pure breeds
or to raise the pure breeds out and out.
The difficulty of making beef raising
or pork raising pay on 500 land must
be solved by raising animals that ma
ture early and feeding them in such a
way that when they are marketed they
are just what the market demands.

Advantages of
Baby BE e f

Professor r. s. Shaw of the Michigan
Agricultural college says in. Michigan
Farmer:
According to our understanding Of
the term baby beef. it was primarily
intended to apply to well finished
steers and heifers at twelve months
of age or thereabout and ranging in
weight from 900 to 1000 pounds. Two
things are essential to this classified
tion-the animal must be young and it
must be well finished.
The chief advantage is that of
economy in production The fact that
the most economical gains are made in
early life has been established beyond
a doubt.
From a purely financial standpoint
the producer secures an advantage in
that the returns from animals finished
as baby beeves come back to him one
third to one-half sooner than when the
animals are matured and marketed at
from twenty-five to thirty months of
ly greater.
Where baby beef is produced the
pastures can be devoted almost solely
to the use of the producing females-in
fact utilized entirely by cows-whereas
their numbers would have to be re-
duced from one-third to one-half by
the yearlings, two-year-olds and pos
sibly some three-year-olds.
When baby beef is successfully pro-
duced no periods of stagnation occur
in the progress of their development
such as happen so frequently in the
case of the yearlings or two-year-olds
being 'wintered over"
Another decided advantage is found
in the fact that no market discrimina-
ton has been made against heifers of
this class, whereas such has been the
! custom with those of more advanced
age.
Grain used in baby beef production
will be from so to 100 per cent more
productive than when fed to mature
| animals, and the produce of the former
has hitherto commanded a price far
beneath the latter on the market.
| AS the finishing takes place before
maturity it is possible to control in
some measure the relative develop
ments of flesh and fat

bottom. The rear ends of the shares
were rounded instead of being drawn
to the usual point. Above the mold
boards of the plows and riveted to them
were placed the right and left mold
boards of old alfalfa plows. The han

The beams running side by side were

AN INSPIRING SPECTACLE.

Like other towns, Durham is stirred
up on municipal politics. 1t also has
an election on hand far more import
ant than who shall fill the offices, and
will vote on bonds to establish a high
school, Durham's record for public
education has been an example for

supported the graded school by their
individual contributions. The schools
have been multiplied as Durham has
grown SO that no town or city has
offered better educational advantages
to its children. That fact has greatly
accelerated Durham's growth.
Lately two communications have APP
peared in the Durham papers by two
of the largest taxpayers urging the
of bonds to build the needed high
school. These two writer's are Gen
Julian S. Carr and Mr.. George W.
Watts. 1t is an inspiring sight to see

NOT SO MELANCHOLY"

The New York Sun emphasizes the
fact that the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States as to the
hours of labor law reverses the deci-
sion of Chief Justice Alton B. Parker,
and says the publication of Judge
Parker's opinion in the last campaign
has "a somewhat melancholy aspect
in view of the reversal. That might be
true, if the Supreme Court had re-
versed the opinion unanimously, but
four of the nine Supreme Court JUS
tees agreed with Judge Parker. A 5
to decision settles nothing perman-
emily. That question will come to the
front again and the final decision that
will stand will be that rendered by
Judge Parker and concurred in by four

RALEIGH'SF EDUCATIONAL NEED.

The Constitution Of North Carolina
guarantees to all school children be-
tween the ages of six and eighteen
the opportunity of attending public
school at least four months in every
year. Some years ago an act passed
by the General Assembly prohibiting
the school committee of Raleigh
having more than seven grades in the
public schools. The result of that
law was that children complete the
course in the graded schools in Raj
eigh at the age of thirteen or four
teen years of age and are then denied
further instruction. The school
committee cannot be blamed for this
condition. 1t is acting under a posi-
tive law. But at the last session of
the Legislature, Mr.. A. B. Stronach,
member of the House of Representa-
tives from Wake county, secured the
repeal of the law limiting the course
TO seven grades, and his bill was ap-
proved by the city school committee.
If Mr.. Stronach had done no other
service during his term in the House
and he was useful in other direc-
tions-every parent in Raleigh owes
him debt of thanks for interfering
the committee and giving them the
right to provide necessary instruction
in the public schools for all the
youths of this city.
The Stronach legislation opens the
way now to the school committee to
improve the public schools in Raj
eigh. The committee has wisely pur-
chased a half acre lot in the very

BIG SURPLUS UNNECESSARY.

The magnitude of the great surplus
of the great life insurance companies
has been held out as a reason why
those companies should be patron
lied in preference to those with only
a moderate surplus. Recent develop
is a danger rather than a protection
to policy holders. Speaking of this
matter, Capt. Wright superintendent
of Insurance in Georgia, says
For their immense SURPRISES are
not at all necessary to the business
of q life insurance company. Life
insurance might be called an exact
science. The mortuary tables show
just how much must be set aside to
pay death claims; the reserve neceS
sary to meet maturing policies can be
aScertained with absolute accuracy.
There is, therefore. no occasion what
ever to hold any large sum as sur
plus. In fire insurance it is neces-
sary to provide against the possibility
of sudden sweeping confiagration;
in life insurance no such provision
need be made. There is every rea-
son for the distribution of the surplus
ton should not be made.
One effect of making a fetch of a
big surplus has been to discourage
the formation of small companies in
the States having no large cities and
few large fortunes. The impression
company had million dollars be-
hind it there was every reason to
doubt whether it could safely mature
and pay it's policies. That belief has de-
tered the formation of small COM
panies AS q matter of fact as Capt.
Wright shows "life insurance is an
exact science" He also truly says
that "the mortuary tables show just
how much must be set aside to pay
death claims and 1.-THE reserve
can be ascertained with absolute ac-
curacy." Therefore there is no
rhyme or reason in piling up a big
surplus. All that is necessary is
of losses as they occur, and the NOR
tuary tables make it easy to ascer-
tain approximately what these losses
will be. A small company honestly
and economically managed, charging
sufficient premiums to insure pay
ment of losses, is in fact more de-
sirable than overgrown companies
which pile up the money of policy
holders so high that it tempts off,
GERS and directors to prodigal extra
vagance if nothing worse.
There are in North Carolina three
life insurance companies based upon
sound principles-two at Greensboro,
managed, the one by Mr.. George A.
Grimsley and the other by Mr. A. w.
McAllister, and one at Charlotte of
which Mr.. T. S. Franklin is president
and Mr.. Susman, manager of agencies.
A policy in either OF these companies
is as safe as in the Equitable, the
New York Life or the Mutual Life of
New York, and the people of North
Carolina would not only get as safe
insurance by taking out policies in
these companies, but would at the
same time build up here great insur-
ance companies that would enrich the
