and well kept. If the plan suits her
she is perfectly happy in working out
the details.
In this plan only two rooms are fin
ished off upstairs. About one-third of
the upper floor is left unfinished to be
used as an attic store room. This
saves expense when building, and the
housewife has fewer rooms to take
care Of afterwards. Two rooms may
be added here any time in the future
ut very little expense.
Two bedrooms and bathroom up
stairs makes a very nice arrangement
for a family of two, and leaves a spare
bedroom for use when required. The
bedroom downetairs may be made in
to a library, If SO desired. 1t is real
ly more appropriate for this purpose
than it is for a bedroom, If so wanted
by the family. Families are different,
their tastes and requirements are diff
ferent; what suits one would not suit
another, but this would make a
very nice library or smoking den, and
that is what every man should have.

friends DO, and most women object to
having tobacco smoke scattered pro-
miscuously through any other part Of
the house, and they cannot be blamed
for this objection. The house means
more to a woman than 1t does to a

TO have it exactly right and to have
things as nice and delicate as her keen

of a home as seen on irrigated farms
in the same region. The dry farm
needs enough irrigation to provide
these things. 1t needs it for the com
fort of the family. II needs IL for
the opportunities it will give to make
a living in dry years, as well as larger
profits in wet ones, and 1t Is only by
supplemental irrigation that the linn.
its of settlement can be pushed west
ward across the driest part of the
sem-arid belt. The present situation
requires that the chances of failure be
clearly faced, and it is the writer's
conviction that there are hundreds OF
settlers in the western half of the
semi-arid belt who must supplement
the dry farm by irrigation; and unless
they do, the next period of drought
will witness a greater exodus and
more hardship and privation than the
first.
1t is one thing to recognize the ad.
vantages Of irrigation; another to pro-
vide for 1t. 1t is believed, however,
that it is possible to control enough
water to irrigate from one to ten
acres of land on each of thousands of
farms where complete irrigation is
not possible, and that this a be
done by one of the three following
plans: (1) Pumping from soil wa
ter or underground streams; (2) stor.
storm waters or the irregular flow of
streams; (3) irrigation with flood wa
ter whenever it can be had, usually in
the winter and spring, generally
! spoken of as winter irrigation.

the sitting room and the next hottest
pipe in the bathroom.
The old-fashioned way of heating a
house was to lead the biggest pipe to
the lower hall and let the air float up
stairs naturally, but natural conditions
cannot always be depended upon to
furnish good results. A good furnace
man, II given plans before the build
ing is started, a lay out a system OF
pipes that will heat every room with
out passing the air through the front
hall. There is another extreme to this
proposition, and that Is to keep the
front hall shut of and not have any
cir carried in that direction. This is
as much of a mistake as the other.
Ventilation is just as important as
heatsand you cannot have good ven
tilation with the hallway shut on.

WATER FROM WELLS TO AID
in DRY FARMING
Necessity Of Reserve Water Supply to Prevent Periodic
and Drainage Investigations.

For a number OF years the State Ag-
ricultural College of Colorado made a
systematic and continuous study of
the efforts to grow crops without irri-
cation in the eastern part of that
state. The results are summarized
in bulletins 30 and n of that station.
In these MI. ]. e. Payne, the observer,
shows that there were years of large
yields and large profits from small
grain, and other years when failure
was complete; that all attempts on
adobe soils were failures; that al
falfa on the dry farms cannot endure
the drain on its vitality. 1t 6ourishes
In wet years, but makes little growth
in dry seasons, and the plants con-
tinue to die until practically all dis
appear. OF thousands of orchards
planted only a few trees have lived.
Fruit growing without irrigation has
not proved successful. Orchards may
grow well for years, but annually Sc

require discussion. Even where the
trees survive they are stunted and i'll
shaped. AS a result nearly all set
tiers have been compelled to combine
stock raising with farming, depending
on the native grasses for summer
pasturage and growing forage for win.
ter feeding. In good years they grow
abundant crops Of wheat and small
grain; in poor ones, only forage.
From 1883 to 1888 the writer was a
resident of Colorado and often visited
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1907-01-24

the sections where dry farming was
tried. From 1883 to 1898, inclusive, he
was a resident of Wyoming, and as
state engineer was in Off cial and SYM

part of the state. During these years
hundreds of dry farms were visited

lily. Since 1898 the progress of agri-
culture in the western half of this
region has been carefully watched in
connection with the studies of the eco
nomical use of water in irrigation.
In that time dry farming in certain
areas has become demonstrated sue

the divide country south of Denver,
Col; the high bench land neal New
castle, Wyo., and the slopes of the
mountain foothills along the Big
Horn and Rocky mountains in Utah,
Idaho and Montana, as well as the

display here is principally composed
OF curtains and a nice chair or two de-
signed for looks as well as comfort.
The general air of this house is what
may be called tony" 1t has a neat,
clean, dignifed appearance, rather on
the prosperous order, but the beauty
is in the design rather than in the ex.
pensive finish. The materials are
good but ordinary, no unnecessary
work oil expense is specified, but
everything is plain and substantial.
The back porch is a feature a little
out of the ordinary. 1t is intended for
a sort of a summer addition to the
kitchen, IN out door work room that
may be enclosed with climbing vines
and furnished with a couple of old
fashioned rocking chairs, with sing-
ham.covered cushions, somewhat on
the grandmother order, but comforta-
BILE as everyone knows. This back
porch offers a good place for an ice
box, especially in the summer time,
which is the only time in the year
when an ice box in this kind of a

is cool enough at other times, and Is
fairly convenient to the kitchen.
The outside grade entrance to the
cellar is a great help. It gives an
easy entrance from the garden for
carrying things in and out without
tracking through the Kitchen, Q fea-
ture that every woman knows exactly
how to appreciate. A long cellar like
this is especially well designed for
keeping fruit. With a partition behind
the furnace the part under the kitchen
may be kept cool enough to keep ap-
pies and vegetables without drying
up. The cellar walls are built with
cement mortar and broken stone or
rubble. All stone wall surfaces are
plastered outside and the joints filled
and beaded with black beading, which
gives the wall an attractive finish. II
the house faces the north it would be
better to put the fruit room in the
front end of the cellar. The north end
is several degrees cooler than the
run furnace pipes past the partition
south end, and it is not necessary to
in the sitting room.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1907-01-24

summer rains bring about a sensible
increase in the average amount of
moisture in the soil. There is no
doubt that other areas will be dis
covered where dry farms will be suc
cessful. 1t is also believed that
through summer following drought-re-
s~istant- crops can be grown alternate
years with a fair degree of success
over those portions Of the semi-arid
region where the soil is sandy or a
sandy or sandy loan, but not IN the
clay or adobe soils.
But when all this has been said the
fact must be recognized that the dry
farm taken has not the attraction or
the security of farming under irriga-
ton, or of farming in Iowa and ILL
uois, where the rainfall Is ample.
Nothing can be more dreary or dis
c~ouraging than the aspect Of the dry
farmers home In midsummer. With

makes one realize that "a world with
out turf is, indeed, a desert" The
fact that many Of these farmers are
prosperous does not remove the need
for trees, fruit, grass and gardens,
nor lessen the value Of these features

ground water can be reached at
depths of 100 feet or less in the north
and 200 feet or less in the south the
farmers a afford to pump water
for irrigation. Each is already known
to make 1t sure that thousands Of
farmers can have such supplemental
water supply at lifts of 10 to so feet.
A large percentage of the water
which flows from the mountains or in
plains streams sinks in the sand.
The recent developments of irriga-
ton by pumping in the United States
are significant of what is to come.
There are 200, 900 acres irrigated from
wells in California, the lift in many
instances being over 200 feet. Includ-
ing rice irrigation, about 750, 900 acres
of land are now irrigated in the
United States by means Of pumps.
In the arid region the greatest de-
velopment of pumping is where the
water supplies are ample, and the ex.
p%erience there will not serve for the
semi-arid district where the limited
underground supplies must restrict
both the capacity of the pump and the
kind of power used. In India the
average area irrigated from a well is
less than an acre. In this country we
are likely to be equally restricted.
For the lifting Of small quantities of
water the windmill has many advan.
tages, and with improvements in con.
struction calculated to give It great

mill promises to have a great devel.
opment as a power agent. Gasoline
and steam engines for large areas are
nor satisfactory, but the places
where there Is enough water in the
soil to make the operation of a gaso-
line engine profitable are limited in
number and extent, and those where
steam can be used still more so.
What the windmill Gamble made to
do in providing the dry farm with
an orchard, a garden, and trees for
shade and ~wind-breaks is illustrated
at Garden City, Kan. Records were
obtained by the Office of experiment
stations in 1904 of the performance of
70 windmills. These irrigate from a
quarter of an acre to seven acres each.
at a cost of rs cents, or Sc an acre.
The crops We're worth $12. to $500 an
acre, and included alfalfa, garden veg.
etables. fruit trees, sugar beets, corn,
cane and sweet potatoes. In the last
ten years there has not been a single
crop failure where the windmill pro-
vided moisture; there were v
years when the failure on adjoining
dry farms was complete. In that re-
gion there is not a single fruit tree
growing on unirrigated land, the lands
watered by the windmills being GASES
In a desert so far as fruits and To-
liage are concerned. This does not
NEAR that dry farming has proven
Improbable. but that It is unattrac.
tive and less profitable than it would
be with irrigation.
