INTERIOR DEPARTMENT TAKES
final ACTION IN MATTER.
Representative Jones Says 1t Is
the Greatest Event for the
State Since Its Formation--Ul-
innate Expenditure Will Be
Upwards of 100000.

Washington, March 2S.-Mr. Ryan,
acting secretary of the interior, yes
terday affixed his signature to an or
der finally approving the Sunnyside
and Tieton irrigation projects. Thus
nearly four years after the enactment
of the reclamation law the struggle
for irrigation in the state of Washing
ton was brought to close.
So far as anybody can perceive there
no longer exists any excuse for delay
in carrying out the Washington pro.
jects.
Specifications for the construction
of works in the Okanogan project are
already in preparation. A lot of sur.
veying aud minor Typographical work
must be done in the Yakima valley,
but this ought to be completed during
the summer, and there would be cause
for complaint if the reclamation serv-
ice is not ready late in the present
year to advertise for construction con-
tracts in that valley.
The concluding act performed by
Assistant Secretary Ryan yesterday
consisted simply in approving a legal
opinion written by the assistant attor-
ney general, declaring that all the
conditions imposed by the secretary
of the interior at the time the funds
for Washington irrigation we're set
aside had been complied with. The
department will, before the end of the
week, close the deal for the purchase
of the Washington Irrigation Com
pany, the proposition of sale peing ap-
proved yesterday.
Representative Jones, who had been
by common consent the leader of the
state delegation in matters relating to
irrigation, is much pleased over the
final outcome. He said:

ment than any other one thing that
could have happened. 1t is great in
itself, but positively greater in what
naturally results from it. There is
much qualification that definite action
has been taken by the secretary in the
approval of irrigation for the state.

the ultimate expenditure of from $40,

Cheese-Making Gardening.

Cheese-making has been shown by
recent bacterial research to be a sort
Of gardening-an inverted gardening,
in which the plants are grown for the
sake of modifying the soil The Pc
culiar qualities and fiavors Of the diff
ferent cheeses have been proved to be
due to the growth of various species
Of bacteria and molds In them. And 1t
has been found possible to produce the
flavor of the required cheese from the
milk Of any locality by introducing the
appropriate plants. In a recent paper,
for example, C. Gorini shows that the
familiar red and green patches which
characterize Gorgonzola cheese are the
combined work Of special mold, and
species Of bacillus. These organisms
are introduced as the result of artificial
punctures. made in the process Of man.

office In Washington will remove the
erroneous Impression. That wonder
full collection Of the fruits of construc-
tive Ideas contains many thousands OF
inventions credited to women, the first
dating from 1909. Into almost every
field Of human enterprise woman has
ventured with her inventive genius.
Articles Of domestic or personal use
naturally lead, although she has not
neglected the most important indus
trial enterprises Even improvements
In guns and warships have occupied
her attention. While many Of these
Inventions have never got beyond the
tentative stage and their careers be-

OF patent office models, others have
played an important part in the busy
world and have brought comfortable
fortunes to the designers.

Modest Outlay for wedding.

There Is considerable discussion In
regard to the statement that the trous-
seau of Fraulein Bertha Krupp, the
richest girl In the world, cost $3.50.
Some of the German newspapers hold
her up as a model of virtue for other
girls about to be married. But others
think her parsimony not much to her
credit, as her small expenditure will
not add much to the income of others.
No doubt the lady knows her own at
fairs best, and she probably has so
many clothes that she couldn't find
need for more. AS most German girls
are all their lives getting ready to get
married, and the lingerie is added TO
from year to year, she probably has a
good supply.

Women should De Pretty.

Do you know that it is the habits and
not the flight of years that take the
expression Of youth from the eyes, the
look of freshness from the skin, the
lightness Of grace from the step?
Too many women who are pretty in
girlhood become positively ugly in mid.
die age. Those who are shapeless with
fat and have muddy compilations are
often thus unlovely because Of laziness
and self-indulgence. They eat the rich
and sweet things which make flesh and
do not take sufficient exercise.
The odd thing about it Is that while
women deplore the loss of beauty, no
persuasion will make them adopt the
Spartan methods which will bring at
least some Of 1t back, says Woman's
Life.
As for the thin, nervous women who
have lost the delicate, round, pink and
white outlines of youth In sallowness
and scragginess, they are no more
amenable to reason and common sense
A daily bath in tepid water, plenty of
nourishing food judiciously chosen, and
q resolute avoidance of the twin fiends,
hurry and worry, mean a new rosiness
in the cheek, soften contour In the
figure, a new enjoyment of life.

Best Preparation for Wheat.

If could have my choice of ground
to SOW on, says Pennsylvania farmer,
l would choose a field where a heavy
clover sod, or where cowpeas had been
plowed down and potatoes raised the
present year, using at least 1900 pounds
high-grade fertilizer on the potatoes.
The potatoes having been kept clean,
and dug in good time, would not pillow
for the wheat, but harrow at least four
or five times, and then drill In the
wheat, drilling with it 400 pounds of
good fertilizer, with at least per cent
quickly available nitrogen, per cent
phosphoric acid and 6 per cent potash.
Then in the spring, If it did not start to
grow promptly, l would SOW broadcast,
100 pounds nitrate of soda per acre.
A heavy dressing of stable manure Will
make large stand of straw which will
make large stand Of straw which will
not fill we'll unless one Is sure the
ground contains plenty of phosphoric
acid and potash.

Horses from Royal Stables.

One of the most interesting studies
in the Interstate live stock and horse
show held at st. Joseph, Mo, was
found In the exhibit of shire horses
from the royal stables of King Edward
and Lord Rothschild of Sandringham,
England. St Joseph was fortunate In
securing this stable as 1t had not been
the intention to exhibit the horses this
side of the Atlantic except in the kings
Swift & Co., was influential in pre-
vailing upon Manager Beck, repre-
senting King Edward, to exhibit the
horses, in two United States shows,
viz, at the Interstate in St Jo-
seph and the American Royal at
Kansas City. "Our object in bring
ing the horses to this side of the
Atlantic was primarily to stimulate in
terest in the big shires with the Cana
dians," said Mr.. Beck. "Until within
few years the shire has been too
scarce and high priced for the general
run of breeders. They are still high
priced, but are coming within the range
Of general breeding and are a profit
able animal to breed for the big draft
trade" These horses are fine speci-
mems Of the thoroughbred shire and are
attracting much attention and favor
wherever they are being shown. They
are all great, heavy boned, thick mus
cled animals whose very carriage and
bearing and spring motion when in ac-
ton announce them as something
above the ordinary In horse flesh.

1t Is best to apply skin food or

The Pig Pen.

The pig sty is nearly always filed
with materials for absorbing manure,
but they are not cleaned as frequently
as should be the case In winter, If
the yard contains absorbents, they be-
come soaked during rains, and are dis
agreeable locations for pigs. The pig
prefers dry location, as it suffers Sc
verely on damp, cold days. The ma
terials in the pig sites will be of more
service If added to the manure heap
and a plentiful supply of cut straw
thrown into the yard in its place. The
covered shed, or sleeping quarters,
should be Uttered foot deep with cut
straw, which may be thrown into the
yard after being used, but the yard
should always be cleaned out after a
rain and dry material then added.

The Selection of Seed Corn.


There Is no time which Is put In tc
better advantage or which fetches q
larger return than that devoted to Sc
Letting the seed corn during the latter
part Of September and the first half OF
October The advantage which secur-
Ing the seed ears at this time has over
the ordinary method Of selecting at
husking time lies In the fact that q
choice of the earliest maturing ears
can be made, distinction that Is Inn
possible when all Of the crop Is ripe
and ready to husk. For all the north
half of the corn belt that type of corn
Is best which bears its ears low on the
stalk. This means as a rule that such
corn will mature early, and while the
ears produced may not be quite so
large as those which one has to reach
above his head after they are much
more likely to produce hard corn, which
will keep after 1t Is put in the crib. The
shape and depth of kernel and form
and type of ears are Of very trivial i'm
portance as compared with the main
question as to whether the corn itself
Is Of variety which will mature a
crop in the latitude In which 1t is
planted.
