THE FARM AND RANGE
Irrigation from Pumps.

The experiments in irrigation by
means of pumps. which will be made
in this state and in the vicinity of
Cheyenne. Wyoming. by the Depart
ment of Agriculture under the direc-
tion OF Mr.. Elwood Mead, will be of
great interest.
The results may show it to be en-
tirely practicable to irrigate small
tracts of land by this means all
through the plains region, thus re-
claiming from aridity what in the ag-
gregate will be large area. The chief
question involved seems to be whether
an adequate amount of water can be
raised in this way to irrigate sufficient
land to make the employment of the
method profitable.
1t Is evident that this method of ir-
rigating will tend toward intensified
agriculture. Water raised by pumps
whether wind or steam is used, will be
too precious to be wasted. Farmers
will put 1t to the best practicable use
by growing crops yielding high per-
centage of profit per acre.
This is the kind of agriculture Colo
RADIO and all the other arid states need.
They may leave the production of
cereals to localities where farming can
be conducted without irrigation. The
reclaimed land of the arid states will
thus be used in growing crops that
command high price per acre, but
which require careful tillage and close
attention to give the best results.
Close or intensified farming OF this
kind makes 1t practicable to maintain
large population per square mile. In
stead of dividing square mile into
four farms of 100 acres each, it will be
divided into sixteen of forty acres
each. Instead of supporting an agri-
cultural population of twenty per
square mile. farming of this kind will
support eighty. From this one may
see what intensified farming means to
Colorado and hence what may be
looked for from any method of irriga-

stopped his head under a rolled avn

another time he had just turned from

would have crushed and buried him.

Hicks shouted to the first lieutenant.

The following short story from the
Woman's Journal is very timely in the
warning given against trailing skirts:
Only a little dust. almost impercep-
tible dust. caught on the rug on the
floor of ehe handsome hall.
1t was Turkish rug, lying on the
perfectly waxed, hardwood floor. in
fa)l where neatness seemed to reign
along with all the appointments of
wealth.
But there was that almost imper-
ceptible dust. How did it come there?
If you had ears that could hear its
voices it would tell you. 1t would
say that 1t had clutched fold on the
beautiful lady's gown ard come in
from the street.
1t was beautiful gown as well as
beautiful lady-a tailor-made gown.
and its fashionable bias flounce trailed
stylishly on the ground.
Everything was stylish about the
lady. from her fair lace. with
rather deep circles below the eyes. to
her slender and handsome walking
shoes. She walked trailing her gown
properly, dust or no dust. Indeed. she
ignored the dust of the street; but will
the dust ignore her?
Let us listen, If she will not. for
this almost imperceptible dust moves
and acts with fearful force, and If we
listen possibly we may understand its
language.
Soon after coming in on the beauti-
full lady's gown, other steps followed
and other gowns helped to move the
dust along farther into the mousse; but
1t had a fancy for the beautiful lady.
Her frailness attracted 1t and it fol-
lowed her to the bed chamber. Her
feet had never trod the loathsome
precincts whence 1t came, but it came
to her on her gown.
Soon there came to the chamber a
little child, sweet, rosy cherub. In
its romping it stirred the dust about.
Then the dust began to be sepa-
rated, being formed of many particles
and these talked among themselves
AS they talked they danced back and
forth, waltzing. swirling, capering
with every motion of the child and its
mamma, the beautiful lady.
A scientist could have understood
them If he had caught some of them
under his microscope. He would have
called them germs" With what
alarm he would have recognized the
diphtheritic. and with what dismay
would he have seen the tuberculous
germ approaching the frail lady.

This baby was saying it for the last
time.
When night came again, thousands
of little voices sent up the baby pray
ers. but this one was gasping out its
little life on mammas bosom-de-
stroyed by germ.

We have heard much about the
American stomach and the American
nerves, but we are just awakening to
discovery that there Is being rapidly
developed a form of heart disease
which, If not peculiar to America, may
at least be said to be more prevalent
in this country than in any other part
of the world. The heart-weakness re-
sulting from the use of tobacco and
alcohol and from sedentary life on
the one hand. and extremely violent
exertion on the other hand. is no long
er rare condition, but has come to
be one of the most common affections
with which the physician has to deal.

ed in the army examinations are re-

in the teamsters' strike yesterday was

he had issued the order enabling the
police to ride on the wagons; that be

The Campbell system.

In a recent interview Mr.. w. G.
Cheesman. president of the Denver
Union Water Company. spoke enthu-
siastically of the agricultural prospects
of Colorado. saying:
IN the agricultural line Colorado
has made great strides. particularly in
the cultivation of the soil without ir-
rigation. The new Campbell system
of agriculture means more to Colorado
than many people realize. The water
company had an experience with this
last season. which was very gratifying.
On some OF our lands we did not care
to use water because 1t was needed for
the use of the people of Denver. so we
PLANTED our crops and raised them
without irrigation.
I'VE planted some land to durum
wheat and this yielded forty bushels
to the acre. Our rye yielded thirty
bushels. In some special cases. where
we gave particular attention to the
crops, we raised forty-six bushels of
durum wheat to the acre. These spe-
cial tests opened our eyes. So well did
We succeed with our agricultural ex-
periments without water last year.
that we will largely increase our acre
age this season. planting about $50
acres Of durum and probably about the
same amount of rye. all of which land
will be handled without irrigation.
you can see what this means for
Colorado. There is a vast amount of
land which can be utilized for agricul-
ture by this system. where 1t is i'm
possible to raise crops by irrigation
Colorado has now come to be an agri-
cultural state and our crops are the
wonder of the world.

Chinese Coins,

One of the great barriers to trade in
China is the monetary system. which
is crude. confusing and in every way
unsatisfactory. except to the Chinese
themselves. The most commonly cir
culated coin is the copper cash, equal
to about one-tenth of a cent. For
large sums the tael is the unit; this,
however. is not coin, but weight OF

Cattlemen in the eastern part of the
state have until the first of next month
to dip their cattle. After that the
state veterinarian and his assistants
will make an examination and where
he finds any cattle affected with
mango. he will proceed to gather and
dip them at the expense of the owner,
holding the cattle for the cost of the
work. The Stock Inspection Board has
passed the matter up to the stockmen
this season, and having given them
fair notice of the law, they will take
the condition of the cattle as proof
of whether or not the law has been
complied with. The government has
agreed that where cattle are properly
dipped. they may be moved in the fall
without restriction, but it is up to the
cattlemen and it will pay them to get
busy. Most of the cattlemen are busy
dipping or are preparing to dip and
many counties will be free from the
disease when inspected next month
