Millions for Irrigation.

Figures corrected and brought down
to date by the reclamation service give
the total amount of the federal irri-
cation fund as $2S,028,572.50. This is
the amount of the net proceeds of land
office transactions in the sixteen arid
and semi-arid states paid into the fed
eral treasury and applied to the re-
clamation fund since the enactment of
the law in 1902. 1t does not include
the entire returns from public land
sales, of course, for the expenses of the
several land offices had to be paid out
Of the general receipts. This was pro-
vided for in the reclamation act.
The statements are, for the most
part, based on a table, or rather
series of tables, given out by the re-
clamation service. 1t is rather strik-
ing fact that although the total Access
sions to the reclamation fund are only
a little more than $28,000,000, the Sec
rotary of the interior has set aside for
projects already under construction the
sum of $3O,17O,0O0. "Set aside" means
that the amount named is to be ap-
oiled eventually to the projects in ques'
ton, and cannot be diverted to other
projects. These come first.
Oregon has contributed more than
any other state or territory to the re-
clamation fund. North Dakota ranks
second, Oklahoma third and Washing
ton fourth. These have contributed
through the receipts of their land Of
fees, more than one-half Of the whole
reclamation fund.

Intelligent Farming.

Some of the farmers Institutes"
meetings have been appreciated when
held, but occasionally some farmer
or dairyman who has no faith in any
thing but experience" will be on hand
and express his views. At meeting
held in Pennsylvania one winter an
Experienced" farmer willingly engag-
ed in debate, with the object of show
ing that there was no necessity for
"book farming" but in the course of
the debate was forced to admit that
although he had been dairvman for
forty years he could not distinguish
Jersey cow from an Ayrshire, and was
unable to state the difference in the
breeds of hogs, sheep and poultry.
Farmers who rely upon experience"
should not overlook the fact that all
books upon farming are but the print
ed experience of practical and pro-
gressive men.
When it is desirable to change a
stand of bronze grass it will be found
lust about as difficult to kill out as
johnson, crab or any other pernicious
grass. 1t is satisfactory, however, to
know that the land after having grown
bronze grass for a number of years is
almost as rich as the original prairie
The roots form solid network which
is difficult to break up. They supply
an immense amount of humus and con-
sequently the grass is excellent for
renovating wornout soils. 1t does well
on almost any kind of land except
alkali. In such localities western rye
grass does better. Bronze grass is past
the experimental stage in this part of
the country.

Water is again added and poured off,
and this repeated until the seeds are

leaving the seeds clean and half dry.
Then empty them on screen or shut

The only objection to the use of soil
from an alfalfa field appears to be in
the danger from weed seeds that may
be brought. When a man has spent
days cultivating his field, going over
it, possibly, dozen times in fall and
spring for the purpose of destroying
all the weeds possible, he feels like
kicking himself or somebody else if
he finds he has gone right on and
seeded his field over again, even If
it is with nothing more serious than
summer grass.
The use of the inoculated soil, how
ever, appeals more forcibly to farmers
in general than does the application
of the cultures, even from the depart
ment of agriculture These are rather
hard to get unless one speaks in sea-
son, and those from the concerns that
are engaged in propagating and selling
are somewhat costly. These may be
used perhaps, for the purpose of in
oculating the seed, and if one doesn't
care to use soil, he might about as
we'll buy inoculated seed, provided he
can get it from thoroughly reliable
seed dealer who knows his business.
If one procures either the soil or the
inoculated seed from reliable source
he may save himself from purchasing
cultures put up by unreliable parties

ness. There will be great temptations

at four million and insured for two
and half million dollars.
Two more large diamonds have since
been found in the same mine, one
weighing 334 carats and the other 460
carats. One wonders who can afford
to buy these stones. 1t will cost enor-
mously to put them on the market.
Most diamonds are sold outright by

biggest South African diamond kings
has said that the margin of profit up
on which the entire diamond industry
is carried on is but little larger than
the percentage of gain in any other
line Of business.
The jewellers of Paris claim that In
proportion as the value Of the dia-
monds in a necklace decreases, SO does
the cost Of setting increase. A dia-
mond necklace that sells for $4,000

still further deduction must be made
for the expense Of preparing the
stones. The figures obtained on q

Gated that the diamonds composing it
were valued at much less than $4,000

such an ornament contributes more to-
the actual prosperity Of the working
class than many of the so-called

travagance.
How Diamonds are CUT
So far, Europe has been the center
OF the diamond-cutting industry. In
Amsterdam there are more than 5000
cutters, in Antwerp 5000, in the Jura
Mountain district 600, in Paris 200
and in London only $50. They are
divided into three classes, cleavers,

According to the old saw "it takes

Government of the United States it
takes nine Cabinet officers to make

Senate of the United States is required
to make their appointment legal and
constitutional, the preference of the
Executive is invariably respected and
the nine Cabinet officers represent his
personal choice. so far as politics

his successor, he shared the glory of

Sherman's Earlier Fame.
Going back a little further we find
the, late John Sherman standing as
the monument Of sound finance and
marking the otherwise colorless Hayes
administration from 1877 to 1881 as an
epoch in the financial history of the
country. In the days Of the Civil War,
Stanton, at the head of the War De-
partment, earned the name of being
the greatest Secretary of War the
United States ever had and was the
mainstay of the immortal Lincoln in
the latter's heartbreaking experiences
with traitors, politicians and self-seek-
ing army officers. The 130 years of
national life Of the United States fur
nished many brilliant examples of
what a Cabinet officer can accomplish
and the influential part he can play in
the achievements of an administration.
It depends largely upon the Presi-
dent Of the United States to what ex-
tent a Cabinet officer may achieve
prominence in national affairs. Dur
ing the last generation most of the
Presidents of the United States have
been men Of iron will and command
ing personality. Most Of them. how
ever, have depended upon members Of
their Cabinet for expert advice on
great national and international issues.
In the administration of Grant, Cleve-
land, Harrison, Mckinley and Roose-
velt certain of their ministers were
pre-eminent in the direction of affairs
Of state and domestic policies. These
Presidents were and are strong men,
but ever ready. to listen to the advice
and appreciate the statemanship Of the
strong men they had chosen for their
Cabinet.
Different Treatment of Cabinets.
Each President has had his own
conception Of the functions of Cab

met officer. Each one has adopted
his own method Of Cabinet consulta-
ton: President Roosevelt might be
said to have a Cabinet Of specialists.
He has selected men whom he believed
peculiarly fitted to administer the af-
fairs Of the different departments. AT
the bi-weekly Cabinet meetings, which
are held when the President is in his
executive Office in Washington, each
Cabinet officer presents short re-
sume of the condition of his depart
ment. If there is any matter that has
arisen under his jurisdiction that is of
a widespread, general character it is
reserved for discussion by himself and
the President, and perhaps one or two
other members of the Cabinet who re.
main after the formal meeting. Great
questions of national and international
policy are not matters of general dis
cussion in Mr.. Roosevelt's Cabinet.
They are taken up and debated by the
President and those Cabinet officers
whom he believes are specially quail
fed to give expert opinion upon them.
The late President Mckinley had an
entirely different method and the
meetings of his Cabinet were actual
state councils Every matter affecting
the nation at large or bearing upon our
international relations was brought up
at these meetings and each one Of the
Presidents advisors was requested to
submit his opinion. The Secretary Of
Agriculture was asked for his views
on the advance on Pekin, while the
opinion of the Secretary of State on
the type of battIeships to be adopted
by the Navy was welcomed. Mr.. Nc
Kinley believed in this way that he se-
cured the best results and 1t also gave
his cabinet officers an opportunity to
exhibit whatever Of talent or genius
Of statesmanship they possessed.
