WATER THAT FERTIlIzES.
Fertility Conferred Upon Irrigated
Lands in the Far West
ern States

Fresh water OF nearly all kinds has
fertilizing properties. The wonderful
fertility OF Egypt which from remote
antiquity has been inexhaustible. is pro-
verbally due TO the sediment broughtin
suspension by the Nile and left on the
land when the waters recede. Similar
fertility is conferred upon the irrigated
lands in the far west. says the Boston
Herald. by such streams as the Mo
Grande and the Colorado. whose waters
are likewise so full Of sediment as 10
resemble pea soup in color and consis-
ency. II has been more difficult TO &C
count for the fact that all irrigated lands
seem TO have their fertility sustained
BY the water brought upon them. even
when this is absolutely clear. The rea-
son. however. becomes more evident
when il is remembered that nearly all
water. except when distilled. holds some
forms OF mineral in solution, and that
this mineral matter includes elements
that help sustain plant life. Even rain

water is naturally full OF mineral The
fertilizing property OF this depends upon
the character OF the ground. Rain wa

Medicine Hat Is one Of the towns

Northwest which Is making a great
bid Just now for its share OF the pres.
ent boom in Canada. The mayor OF
Medicine Hat goes so far as to adyer-
tise the merits Of that noble city in
some Canadian papers. Its virtues
are dwelt upon in these advertise.
ments at great length, and particular
stress is laid upon the fact that an
abundant supply Of natural gas makes
Medicine Hat a particularly favorable
place for the location of manufactur-
ing plants.
Somehow we seem TO have heard
the name of Medicine Hat before. Ii
our memory does NOT fail us. this Is
the place where the weather man says
the cold waves come from. When The
mercury sinks to zero in the Ohio Val
ley this considerate gentleman some
times calls our attention to the fact
that il is $40 below at Medicine Hat"
This does not seem so bad in August
but 1t must be pretty cold reality In
January.
Medicine Hat deserves its growing
fame, Strange that in his references
TO the many advantages Of his grow.
ing city the mayor of Medicine Hat
never alludes TO the cold wave indus
