A LITTLE FARM WELL TILED.
Interesting Sociological Features of the Great National rr
cation System.

The west contains thousands of
five and ten-acre farms from
which men are making comforta
BILE livings. The social conditions
of some of the most intensely irri-
gated tracts are, perhaps, the most
nearly perfect of those of any
communities in the world.
Now, the effect of the great gov
ernment irrigation works, which
are being pushed rapidly forward,
will be to create a western empire
of new homes and at the same
time to incidentally thoroughly
educate the people of the entire
country on the subject of irriga-
ton. The consequence will be
that irrigation practices will final
ly enthrall the eastern farmer.
The facts as they exist in Euro
pean countries show that irriga-
ton can be practiced with great
profit on land which has sufficient
rainfall to grow paying crops. Ir-
rigation is crop insurer besides
guaranteeing double yields, and
when it is applied to eastern farm
lands the result will be to divide
them into still smaller and better
titled tracts.

Manners and American Youth.

"The backbone of the American
code of behavior is that when
woman needs help man should
give help. The foreigners idea is
that at fitting times he should offer
incense" This neat summing up
of 'the ways of a man with a
maid" occurs in discussion in
The New Idea Woman's Magazine
for February on "Why Our Girls
Marry Foreigners" 1t is doubt
full whether Mrs. Jean Holden,
the writer of the article, has hit
the only true solution of this per
picking problem, although it is
possible that the disinclination of
the American, man to bow, to open
doors and to offer up incense may
have something to do with the
easy manner in which American
heiresses are induced to restore
the fallen fortunes of foreign aris-
tocrats. Yet it cannot but be re-
marked that the number of
wealthy American girls who still
marry happily in their native land
is sufficient to reassure American
youth, and at the same time vindi-
cate, if it is case of vindicating,
real feeling against superficial
display which may cover nature
lacking in any sterling quality.

throughout the session, getting all
possible information to assist him

sibihties imposed by that law un-

of dollars are already available
for national irrigation works. The
delegates represented all classes

Some of the sociological factors
in the national irrigotion move
ment was the theme of an address
a couple of weeks ago before the
Philadelphia Congress of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancemont of Science, by Guy E.
Mitchell, an extensive writer on
irrigation and public land subjects.
No question before the public
today, Mr.. Mitchell declared, pre-
sents more interesting sociological
phases than does the national irri-
CATION question in America, not
only through the great number of
homes to be created by artificially,
watering desert wastes, but
through the far reaching effect Of
the working out of a great gov
ernment irrigation policy and the
general education of the Ameri-
can people on the advantages of
this practice both west and east.
The social side of irrigation can
be described in the single clause:
Irrigation divides and sub-divides
land into small home tracts.
Irrigated communities average
the smallest farms in the world.

HORSE TALK.

See to it that the harness fits
the horse.
Homemade sheepskin pads are
good for an emergency.
Examine the feet often and look
for Judgements of small stones.
Let the horse go shoeless rather
than travel in too long worn shoes.
Use the currycomb, but use it
mercifully. It's the dirt you are
after, not the skin.
Steer clear of bad shoeing; en-
ploy skilled blacksmith, and he,
even, may need watching.
Use yielding check-rein, never
so tight as to prevent the lowering
of the head when working.
The proper breaking of colt
determines in large part the fu-
ture esefulness of the horse.
No horse should be asked to feed
overhead as though he was nat
ural tree-feeder like a giraffe.
An old saying is that eggs and
colts are much alike, for they
must be broken before they can
be used.
The stiff scrubbing brush the
wife uses in house cleaning is a
good and merciful horse cleaner.
But do not appropriate hers.
So treat the horses that they
will be glad to see you come into
their stable and not act as though
they would like to climb through
the roof. ii3
Don't urge the steady going
farm horse beyond his natural
gait when on the road. 1t will be
felt afterwards as very trying ex-
ertion.
An authority on the subject de-
clares that many cases of defect
i've eyesight in horses are caused
by wearing tight collars, which in
terfere with the circulation of the
blood to the head.
The horse, the most useful of
all animals, is the one marked for
the most of mans ill-treatment.
Worked to its full capacity, cared
for only to the degree that selfish
interest prompts, the animal is de-
livered over as the unprotected
object of the unrestrained passion
of man. Be kind to your horse
and he will work for you without
complaint.

The Work of Reclamation Moves Apace.

the funds for the purpose come
from the sale of public lands and
are repaid by the settlers on the
new lands put under irrigation.
When the work is finished it will
have cost in the neighboahood of
three and a half billion dollars,
but this is only two per cent. on
the property values of the nation
today. AS soon as some of the
projects now under way are COM
pleted the revenue for further
work will be largely increased as
the sale of lands will be greatly
increased. Then the United
States will have between the
oceans a home market of greater
worth to our producers than if
we had the exclusive market of
all of Europe and several other
countries combined.
