meeting several years ago whom this
subject was discussed, and al were
unanimously Of the opinion that they

than they were then usins. But at
that rsry dina, LAID In that vicinity
was becoming seepsd, and the axsa
involved has ateaAily become worse.
Subsequent investigations have shown
that the main source Of the surplus
water las been from the excess used
by the owners Of the land. This goes
to show that it il easy to be deceived
in regard TO the condition Of the soil.
External appearances will not suffice.
30 the careful irrigator will be con-
tinuall yestting the condition Of his
land by digging down into the sub
soil in various portions of his orchard.
1t is true that one man cannot tell
another how to irrigate his land, but
the cumulative effect of bad manage
ment is soon apparent.
There are many reasons why it is
easy to over irrigate. One Of the
most common seems to be that the
average person likes to think he is
getting the worth Of his money by u.s.
ing as much water as possible. It
sometimes happens that there is dan
ger Of a ditch going dry early in the
season. When such situation arises,
most persons will use as much water
on their orchards as they can get, no
matter whether it is needed or not.
Then there is also tho tendency to
let irrigation take the place Of culti-
walton, particularly in heavy soils.
It is easier and cheaper simply to let
water run than Il Il 70 osltivate.
Unless the grosai Il stirred 1t the

HOW TO IRRIcArE AN
ORCHARD PROPERLY

Now that the irrigation season is
on, it may be we'll to call attention
to the fact that trees and plants are az
easily injured by too much water "a
by the lack Of it. And observations
made by careful orchardists. the
county horticultural inspectors, as
we'll a. by the workers at the Argi-
cultural colleges, go to show that
more permanent damage is done to

CANADA'S CHRISTMAS STAMP.
The Only Known Postal Memorial Of
the December Holiday.

Stamp collectors say that the great
est Christmas gift ever made was a
postage stamp of the value of . cents.
On Christmas. 1898, Great Britain pre-
sented to all her thirty-seven colonies
a Christmas gift in the form of two
cent letter postage In place of the rate
of . cents, which for decades had ex-
listed.
In honor of this event Canada placed
on sale on Christmas morning, 1898, q
Christmas postage stamp, the, only
stamp of the kind ever issued by any
country. In many respects 1t is unique
among all postage stamps.
1t was larger than our Columbian
stamps and showed map of the world
with the possessions of the British en-
pire printed in bright scarlet. The
oceans appeared in blush green and
the frame of the design in black.
Across the top was the inscription
Canada Postage" with crown rest
Ing ON laurel leaves tucked in between
the words. At the extreme lower part
of the design Is the declaration, I'VE
hold a vaster empire than has BEEN
above this, Xmas. 1885," and a figure
''2' In each lower corner.
1t Is worthy of note that this Cana
dian stamp was printed by bank
note company In the United States. 1t
marked q new epoch in stamp produc-
ton, having three colors. Bicolored
stamps are not uncommon. but up to
that time no country had ever attempt
ed three color stamp.
This Christmas stamp was probably
the most expensive ever issued, cost
ing the Canadian government four
times as much as the ordinary single
color stamp. Although issued on Christ
mas. 1898. the stamps availability for
postage uses is unlimited.-New York
