The Electric Pump
In Competition With the Ditch, Canal
Steam or Gasoline Driven
Pump.

The Electric Pump has driven the ditch, canal,
steam and gasoline pump out of the field in Southern
California and elsewhere.
1t has made the desert bloom; made worthless
land valuable: quadruped the value of lands and pro-
ducts and in the increase in value has
been 10-fod and 1O0-fold.
Can sufficient water be obtained for irrigation
from wells
Some people say
They used to say No in the desert of Southern
California; but they do so no longer; they are get
ting the water and plenty of it and also in the
Rogue River Valley.
In California they have to 60 from 80 to several
hundred feet in depth and pay $54 per season per
horse power
In the Rogue River Valley, in most of the cases
you get ample water from l6 to so feet deep and you
pay $50 per horse power for the irrigating
season.

A DOWN EAST FARMER.

Here is the story of a down east
farmer. When he married he took his
fathers old farm, which had been in
the family for hundred years. He
did his best to make it pay, but the
sins Of the fathers were visited in an
agricultural way upon the children of
the third and fourth generations, and,
work and plan as best he could, he
could wrest from the poor, exhausted
soil nothing but bare. living. At forty
years of age he concluded that he had
had enough and moved to the west,
securing homestead four years ago
in one Of the newly opened Indian
reservations. In four short years he
has made himself the owner, free Of
debt, of 800 acres Of as fertile and
productive land as can anywhere be
found. He.has good home, fine build.
ings and his income from his farm, be-
sides his living, Of over $4,000 per year
The funny thing about this is that
when he goes down east to his old
home and tells his old nefghbors how
well he is doing they think he is lying,
and, as for coming west and like
wise benefting themselves, no argu-
ment will bridge them an inch, SO wed
ded are they to their old environment
and tradition 5.

THE RISE oF 4 RENTER.

BE was just starting for himself
twelve years ago and was very poor
had only an old plug team of horses
and little secondhand farm machin-
cry. He had bright little woman
for his wife, and both had the ambition
to better their condition IL hard work
would do it. He was wise enough to
see that it would be better for him to
secure a good farm for term Of years
than it would be to shift from farm to
farm year by year, SO he found an old
man whose boys had all left him, the
owner Of a good farm, and got the old
man to rent him the farm, for five
years, with the privilege Of ten, and.
further, got him to put on the farm
twelve good cows, six well bred sows
and twenty ewes, landlord and tenant
to share equally in the profits and in,
crease. The little woman said she was
going to make the grocery and cloth
ing bills out OF her poultry, and did.
Both worked early and late. At the
end Of the tenth year this was the re-
suit: The landlord had lis farm in
fine productive shape, better than it
ever was under his system of manag-
ing it; the tenant after his sale found
himself with $4,000 in bankable notes
and cash, three teams Of good horses
and a lot of good farm machinery, be-
sides a lot Of poultry, pigs and other
things; he had had good home to
live in, had not bad to worry over a
big debt and was In good shape to buy
q small farm Of his own. This Is no
exaggerated picture, but has been
duplicated over and over again. Had
he become one year renter, raising
grain to SELL he would have been at
the end Of the ten years just about
where he was when he started, while
the landlords farm would have de-
preciated in value several dollars per
acre.

In Renouncing Whisky Bridegl.
Did Not Include ALI
Intoxicants.

The bride exacted but one promis
from he. husband when they wei.
married. This was that he should no
drink whisky. It is needless to state,
relates the Baltimore News, that
when she made him promise this she
thought she had made him a teetc.
taler. Whisky, to her MAD, covered
the whole field.
One night, shortly utter the honey
moon was over, when the bridegroom
came home and kissed his new wife,
his breath was Enthusiastically redolent
Of something alcoholic.
you've been drinking" replied the
lite lady, aghast.
"Only gin rickey," replied the
bridegroom, but watching anxiously
the effects of this announcement.
"Ohi" said the bride, relieved, II
thought it was something that might
make you drunk"
1t was two or three days later that
the bride burst in upon the groom
with fire in her eye. You have de.
oeived me-" she gasped ''You prom
ised me you would not drink whisky,
and, then after all you went and
drank a gin rickey, and Mrs. Brown
tells me they are the same thing, and
shall never trust you again
Then the bridegroom began to ex-
plain, but he has not yet succeeded
In convincing his unworldly spouse
that in renouncing whisky he die
not renounce the whole family Of in
ebriating drinks, and he's very care
full now about his cloves.

From the Pioneer.
Miss Mary Rankin, the oldest
daughter of Jos. Rankin, who has
been teaching in the Ozark noun ains
for the past three years, returned
home last Friday.
We are receiving regularly the
Freedom County Times-Enterprise.
A perusal of it's columns shows that
creameries are making the farmers
of that section wealthy, and brings
to mind what the farmers of this
section are losing by not having a
cooperative creamery. The farmers,
too are realizing the situation more
and more keenly. It is not too early
to commence the formation of an
organization for creamery to be
built this fall in readiness for next
springs business.
The reports that c.. J. Peterson
had been seriously hurt in Canada
has been confirmed. E. A. Hjertos,
when in Thief River few days ago,
met the brother of C. J. who was
with him in Prince Albert, Canada
where and when the accident
occurred. It was in a saw mill IN
which Mr.. Peterson (brother of
Carl was doing some mechanical
work that Carl fell and hurt him
self so seriously that he was laid up
in a hospital for some time. He has
recently recovered and is working
in the mill.

THE SOFT MAPLE.

The soft maple tree for prairie plant
ing possesses two distinct merits one
is it will grow and do well more close
~ planted than any other tree, the
trees seldom dying out by. overcrowd-
ing; then it seems proof against the
tramping Of stock, something which in
sures the death of most other varieties
Of forest trees. We know of a large
feed yard where 100 cattle or more are
fed each season, and in this yard Is
grove of soft naples planted about ten
feet apart. The tramping and the
shade prevent the growth of any grass
or vegetation under the trees, and
these trees are perfectly healthy and
from thirty to forty feet in height.
Had these trees been of any other va
riety three-fourths Of them would have
been dead long ago. Besides this, the
maple is very rapid grower, affords
a fuel Of the best quality Of any of our
soft woods, and IL one has enough trees
they may be very successfully and
profitably tapped for sugar in the
spring Of the year, and no nicer favor
ed sugar was ever made than that
made from the sap Of the soft maple
tree. The more that we see of this
tree the more we are convinced that
for northwestern conditions it is one
of the best trees to plant.
