DR.. Pierce's All-Healing Sake is

puts them in the best possible con-

The "All-Healing Salve" is STU

In treating all open cores or ulcers,
boils, carbuncles and other swell
ings, it is important that DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry be taken persistently to purify
the blood, and thereby remove the
CAUSE of the trouble. 1t is in the
blood that the great battle of health
has to be fought. The ulcer and
the sore are simply the scarlet
flowers of disease, with roots rum
ming down into the blood. These
roots must be eradicated or the dis
ease will break out afresh. Golden
Medical Discovery" cleanses the
blood of all foul and poisonous &C
cumulations, pushes on, the dead
and waste matter, and thus purifes
the entire life current. Disease in
the flesh must die out when it is no
longer fed by foul blood. Golden

cures disease in the flesh by curing
its cause in the blood.

A Huge Irrigating Wheel.

A wheel IN operation on the Grand
Valley canal on the western slope OF
the Rockies, in Colorado, raises water
thirty feet for the irrigation of forty
acres of orchard. The wheel is thir-
tyfour feet in diameter, the paddles
being eight feet long and two feet
eight inches wide. The spokes are
secured at the center by means of cast
ings and are set at such an angle to
the shaft that they come to point on
the rim of the wheel. To provide suf-
ficient rigidity, system of braces is
adopted, making very substantial
construction. Braces are also run
from paddle to paddle and between
the arms of the wheel SO as to form
a system of six or eight circular rims.
The buckets consist of long boxes
made of one inch stuff, set at such an
angle on the rim of the wheel that
they will fill nearly full and raise the
water within two feet OF the top or
the wheel One interesting feature
of this wheel is the method tried for
adjusting it to the stage of water. The
plan was to counterpoise the weight of
the wheel, balancing it on two heavy
supporting timbers. The adjustment
was to be accomplished by means of
windlass, but owing to the unexpected
increase of weight which occurred
when the wheel became water-sOaked,
the scheme was abandoned and the
support was made rigid by additional
braces. The cost of the wheel was
given as $500. 1t contains 1,75O feet
of lumber and about 450 pounds OF
hardware, which together should cost
not more than 500. The operating eX-
penses are very low. The owner ot
the wheel is assessed by the ditch COM
pany at twice the usual rate charged
other users, with the stipulation that

The Quality of Irrigated Apples.
Oh. E. Van Deman.)

81 ii. van
There is a feeling in the public mind
that apples and other fruits grown I'M
der irrigation are not equal in quality
to the same kinds produced where this
method of supplying moisture to the
soil is not necessary. | am not fully
prepared to positively deny the truth
of this theory, but many opportunities
that | have had to compare fruits of
many kinds grown under the two con-
ditions lead me to believe that it is
the abuse of irrigation that is largely
responsible for the poor quality of
much of that which is not up to the
standard in this respect Again, the
lack of sufficient water in the soil has
the same effect, although the condition
is reversed-that u.s. from too much
water or too little.
In the former case there is an over
plus of moisture in the soil, which is
an abnormal condition and may result
in very large fruit poor in quality,
while the opposite abnormal condition
that is the want of sufficient mois-
ture to enable the tree to properly de-
velop its fruit-makes it poor in quail
ty. Nature requires about certain pro
portions of light, heat, moisture and
plant foods to bring it's products to
perfection and when this balance is
disturbed by untoward climatic condi-
lions or unwise Interruptions by man
a penalty will follow as sure as one
and one make two We see apples in
some of the irrigated regions grown
under conditions of excessive soil mois-
ture which are large and snowy but
poor in favor.
On the other hand, small woody ap-
pies, dry and lacking in richness have
resulted from insufficient or untimely
irrigation, or lack of normal rainfall
in the humid regions. Therefore, 1T
seems reasonable to lay the blame for
poor quality of apples as well as other
fruits to the abuse of irrigation rather
than to the fact that they were grown
under irrigation. | have eaten just as
good apples grown by irrigation in our
western states as those of the famous
apple growing regions of the east and
! have caused many persons who were
experienced and well posted in flavor
and other qualities of apples to make
comparative tests of specimens from
these distant sections grown under the
two conditions. In almost every case
the prejudice against irrigation, If any
existed, was removed or seriously
shaken.

Wasting Water Assets.

California has learned, not only that
the ground may become water-logged
by over-irrigatiOn, but that ill-consid-
cred. drainage works and an incOnsid-
crate use of the water obtained from
wells may so reduce the sub-surface
supply of water and so lower the wa
ter-plane or "table," as to threaten
the reversion of large areas to COM
parative unproductiveness. The Unit
ed States geological survey has dem
onstrated that practically all the sub
terranean waters Of large district
in Southern California, embracing IT'S
square miles, are connected, and that
every we'll taps common supply. The
overworking of pumps, the use Of larg-
er volumes of water than is necessary
and unwise drainage, have enriched
the ocean with a volume of water so
much larger than the rainfall, that the
water-plane, which was % feet below
the surface of the soil in 1898, is now
so feet below.
The Californians have followed the
American habit of believing natural
resources to be 'fneXhaustible," and
are amazed to find that in respect to
water also they have lived beyond
their means, as well as in respect to
the timber supply, oil, natural gas, fish
and game California is by no means
the only state where such condition
may occur, or where the discovery may
be made,N too late, that water is an
asset which cannot be thrown away
without a penalty. Drainage schemes
should everywhere be managed with
view to the possible future need OF
the water for irrigation. In the Cali
fornia district named the waste may
be repaired by the expensive works
which are to bring water of the Owens
river from the mountains to Los An
geles, and incidentally afford volume
for irrigation. But mountain streams
are not everywhere available.
In countries where rainfall is small
and droughts consequently frequent,
irrigation, the art, for such may it be
termed, of increasing the fertility of
the soil by artificial water supply as
-sulnes an important character. Rims
of ancient irrigation works are still to
be found in Egypt, India and China,
those of the first mentioned country
being particularly numerous. The IT.
rigation farmer of today could learn a
few good lessons by studying the meth
