for the building of the foundation of the dam. The general reader will be curious to know how this excavation can be made and a dam 165 feet wide, clear across the channel and 30 feet high from bedrock to normal water line. can be constructed between July and the next probable flood. The answer is that that is not the plan. As shown the excavation will be rapid and the first construction will be the build ing of a little dam. a mere sprout from which the big one will grow. This little dam will be a triangular section of the big dam. The base Of the Jri- angle will be the upstream forty feet of the 165-foot base planned for the big dam. The perpendicular of the tri- angle will be thirty feet high and will be the upper face of the big dam from bedrock to normal water level. The hypothenuse of the triangle will be from the crest of the small dam at nor nal water level to the lower side of the fOrty-foot base, and this lower face of the small dam will of course be a rough, uneven surface. against which the rest of the foundation can be se- curely built when the time comes. This small triangular dam will be run clear across the channel. which, at bedrock, is not remarkably wide Previous to this construction, the rock required will all be Quarried and ready to place. the cement is already on the ground, and d force of men will be on hand ready to build dams while the visitors wait. It will be a comparatively short job to put in this small dam, and. once it is in, the usefulness of the upper cOffer dam will have ceased. The floods may then come and sweep over this small but firm and secure triangular dam and the worst they can do is to fill up the hole on the lower side between it and the lower cOffer dam, with water and debris But should that occur when further construction is desirable, it will be but the work of day or two for the hydraulic machinery to again pump out the hole, when the laying of rock and ceemnt can be proceeded with, and this if neces6lry, will be repeated until the entire foundation is up to the water-line.
 Resuming the narrative of present conditions at Roosevelt, MT. Hill said a force of men is now employed in lining the sluicing tunnel with concrete and erecting the grill work at the intake Of the tunnel, unless they have already finished that work since he has been in Phoenix. This grill work is an iron grating that covers the upper end of the sluicing tunnel, to keep out large rock driftwoOd or other debris that might clog the tunnel. This grill work would have been put fin place before only that the upper end of the tunnel has been buried by the contractors $ quarrymen, who have been blasting off the face of the mountain above, pre-

Breaking u Stall Kicker.

The chronic stable kicker, aside
from being nuisance, causes much
damage and often Injuries other ami
mails. To break him of the habit. fill
a grain sack half full of sand ana
swing from ceiling with rope, so sack
will hang where heels or horse VIII
have good play upon it. Tie him firmly
in the stall with a heavy, stout rope.
At the first Kick the bag Will SWING
away, often as high as the ceiling, II
kicked squarely. 1t will then return
and give him as good as he sent. This
will lead TO Il general miXup between
the horse and sandbag, and the sack
of sand will hold its own, returning all
he sends, with considerable interest
He will soon find that he Is up against
n losing proposition, and, learning this,
will be thoroughly cowed. Leave the
sack behind him for week or more
and then remove. If he should at any
time show any tendency to return to
his old habit of kicking, arrange the
sack as before and the cure will be

ARMADA RELIC FOUND.
First Clue to Treasure Believed to Be at
Bottom of Tobermory Bay.

The search for Spanish gold Mt
Tobermory, Scotland. grows more excit-
ing and promising every day. The spe-
cial find which has invigoratcd all CON
cerned is the massive breach block of
an armada cannon.
This breech block, which weighs fifty
six pounds and is of bronze. was found
in hole five feet below the main ex-
cavations. The breech block is cylin-
drical, and still contains the charge Of
gunpowder. 1t is 80 feet long. and the
diameter at wide end o1a inches, tapcring
to Az inches. The bore. which was
partially chokod at the mouth with ooze
and rust, measures So inches in length
and . inches in diameter, and the vent,
where the match would be applied, is
~ inches from the wider end. The
handle, which is of most comfortable
dimensions, would enable n gunner TO
draw back the brcech block for reload
ing. But the much desired bullion still
remains in Dayy Jones locker.
The impartial (Madrid) suggests that
if the remains of any Spanish sailors are
found during the quest for the lost gal
leon in Tobermory bay they shall be
carefully collected and accorded Il ma
tional funeral.

Water for sheep.

supply for sheep is much controvert-
ed point, says Farm and Live Stock
Journal. We are unable to find any
definite and decisive data on the ques-
topic for our experiment stations.
There are many farmers who would
like to know whether the pasturing of
sheep at any or all seasons of the year
IS a losing practice. We believe that
experiments would prove that it is, as
we can see no reason why they are SO
different from other stock as not TO re-
pay attention to their water supply.

The feeding problem, in some see
tons, is quite as formidable In the
summer as in the winter, and this is
particularly the case where the feeding
is largely done in the barn. which, by
the way, is becoming more popular
every year among dairymen. What
grains one shall use depends largely
upon the methods which individual
feeders have found most profitable In
the past, but corn, in the summer ra-
ton, must be sparingly used. The
stock foods or the concentrated grains,
purchased already mixed, ought also
to be handled carefully and particu-
larry so when little or no pasture is
given rhe animals.
