WHAT IRRIGATION DOES.

1t is interesting to note what irriga-
ton will accomplish. Here is Il case in
the far west. In January, 1891, there
lay a desert tract, no white man within
seventy miles. Just sagebrusE. cactus,
rattIesnakes, sandstorms and physical
paralysis, no c,oud, no rain, no water,
a locality to be dreaded An irrigation
scheme which brought water to this
waterless spot was completed in 1903.
To-Day there are on it four towns with
q population of 1000 each, 5000 people
living on adjacent farms, while tree,
vine, field and orchard, cattle, school
houses, churches, banks, printing Of
fees, stores and offices, railway, tele-
graph and telephone proclaim the mar
vels which followed the coming of the
water on the dreary desert land. This
miracle is to be repeated hundred
times over all through the west when
the vast irrigating schemes of the gov
ernment are finally completed, and it is
under these conditions. perpetual sun
shine and warmth, with man regulat-
ing the wafer supply, where will be
found one of the most intensive and
best developed examples of profitable
agriculture to be found in all the
world.

FOR CLEAN FAIRS.
The Grange and the County Fairs In
Connecticut.

The Hartford Conn Times COM
mends editorially the position taken by
the Connecticut state grange in refer
ence to the gambling devices at the
fairs held in that commonwealth. This
paper says that the oyerseer of the
state grange of Connecticut speaks out
in no uncertain tone regarding some Of
the practices at agricultural fairs in the
land of steady habits. He says the
great blots on the agricultural interests
of his state are the gambling, stealing
and liquor selling permitted at the
fairs. He gives one instance where a
man went to a fair with a specified
amount of money, with which he had
intended to purchase a wagon which
was one of the exhibits The visitor
ran up against slot machine and tried
to double his money. so as to buy bet
ter outfit. The result was that he went
home cleaned OUT of cash and minus
a wagon. This is mentioned only as a
sample of what is going on with the
consent of the fair managers in Con-
necticut. and the overseer protests
against it as demoralizing and harm
full. And doubtless his protest will be
needed. Agricultural fairs can be and
have been made most useful and prof
liable. But it is degrading them to
base uses to allow them to be made
the allies of gamblers and to turn them
into occasions of drunkenness and dis
order

RULE OF THE wHITE MAN.

We noted lately that a music teacher
of considerable prominence had gone
to Devils Lake. in North Dakota, to
open a school of music. This brought
to mind bit of the past-an army
tramp over parched plains in the sum
mer of 1863, a chase after Little Grow,
famous Sioux chief; trip to the lake
in pursuit of him, the daily mirage the
alkali water, the glimpse of this inland
sea, the evening fires of buffalo chips,
the coyotes midnight howl, the bray of
the mule teams. the worminess of the
hard tack and the rancidity of the salt
pork, not q white settler within hun
dreds of miles then regarded as the
heart of the great American desert.
Now, forty years after, a smiling and
prosperous state, wonderful crops, fine
homes, culture. refinement, wealth,
Chautauquas and music teachers,
splendid tribute to American enter
prise Little Crow and his tribe, the
buffalo and the coyote are gone; the

PRUNING SHRUBS.
Spring and Summer Cutting After
Blossoms Are Past.

Spring and Summer Cutting After
blossoms Are Past.
Spring and summer pruning-that is,
cutting out the Towering sprays and
misplaced and superfuous growths Of
shrubs such as the forsythias, nine
bark, Japan ounce, bridal wreath,
Spiraea thunbergi, S. lanceolata and
S. Van Houttei, lilacs, deutzias, der
villas and philadelphuses when they
are done blooming is good cultural
practice if the operator thoroughly un-
derstands the operation.
1t is we'll understood that summer
pruning has a more or less weakening
effect on woody plants, SO that if Sc
we're thinning of the branches should be
resorted to among the last named sub
jects in the growing season it will GER
tainly impair vitality. Our advice is to
cut very moderately the Towering
sprays that plainly impede and prevent
the development of the young growths,
and, if a mass of congested shoots are
being projected where they are plainly
100 thick thin some of them out.
The completion of the work can IN
teIligently be prosecuted in winter and
all old towering sprays, gnarled, dis
eased branches, watery sprouts and
congested shoots thinned out, being
careful to preserve the natural out
lines of the shrubs, free and Towering.
Shrubs with branching habits like the
euonymuses. oXochordas, bush honey
suckles, buckthorns, barberries and
caraganas, that do not produce large
Towering sprays, require little thin
ming out of the branches where they
are dense and thick and where they
rub and cross each other.-Gardening

TRADE AND COOP RoAns.

The condition Of the highways leading

it is going to have more to do with
them in the future as towns here and

their tributary highways. Trade fol-

strange that a town which will easily

the betterment of roads leading into
such town, when the money would so

GRANGE RECOMMENDED.

Hon. Luther Tucker Addresses the
Agricultural Students of Cornell.
In an admirable address before $50
young men at Cornell College of Agri-
culture Hon. Luther Tucker, editor OF
the Country Gentleman. had this to
say about the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry:
aside from our innumerable socie-
ties that unite special classes of agri-
culturists, our associations of horticul-
turists and dairymen and breeders even
of every minor variety of live stock.
with some of which societies I pray
you actively to take part, there is the
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry,
which is emphatically deserving Of
your support and which hope you will
do all that YOU can both to advance
and improve. You cannot join it too
soon after you have begun active life,
and there is very little danger of your
devoting to it too much time or atten-
ton. Mind you, I speak of the Order as
it is at its best, not as it sometimes
has been, not as it possibly sometimes
may be. For long periods and over
wide regions Of our country the gran
gers, as they are sometimes absurdly
called, because they meet in oranges,
much as one might call Freemasons
dodgers because they meet in lodges
the SO called grangers pursued objects
unwisely chosen and permitted them
selves to become the prey and the tool
of the farmers who, as Secretary Nor
ton forcibly put it, are farmers because
they farm the farmer The journal
with which l have the honor of being
connected looked askance at the Order
for long years. We never said anything
against it. We hoped and trusted that
some day it would work off the froth
and foolishness of its youth and devel-
op into a power for good that would
command universal respect, but we
had grave doubts. and we waited to
see. What we hoped for has largely
come about, and from the. organization
of the present day you cannot afford to
stand aloof.
