WEDNESDAY, APRIL3, 1907.

THE recent drouth. which has
been broken by the splendid rains
of last Friday and Saturday, will
serve to accentuate the value of
lands that are subject to irrigation.
Despite the last two mouths of dry
weather, truck growers along the
canals have gone on working, and
harvesting crops right along, hav-
ing only to open the sluice gates
and turn on the water whenever
needed. The rich lands lying along
the.lower Rio G1ande will never
suffer FROM drouth, so long as their
sowners have the means and the
enterprise to constusct canals.

Health Hints.

Eating at regular intervals is
more important for good digestion
than the number of times each day
or the quantity, as these must be
governed by the circumstances.
The nervous child should have
his own bed and a quiet room, not
so quiet that the whole household
is hushed for his repose, but where
no loud noises may disturb his
SAUNDERS.
A walk. even if it to be short
one, is a wonderful rejuvenatcr to
the tired housewife. But be sure

Potash From Granite.

It is reported that the depart
ment Of agriculture, through some
of its agents, has discovered that it
is practicable to secure an mex
haustible supply of potash at cost
of only ! cent a pound by simply
reducing ordinary granite to a pow
der. Thousands Of dollars are now
expended for potash brought from
foreign countries to be used in the
manufacture of fertihzing material.
The imported article costs about
800 a ton, or cents a pound, but
with the Rocky mountains to draw
on the country need not fear an
inadequate supply Of this material
now that it has been shown that it
can be produced from the founda-
ton rock of this mountain system.

TREES BY THE ROADSIDE.

The German province of Hanover
owns 1875 miles Of highways, on
which there are 175, 794 fruit trees
pear, cherry, plum and apple
sufficient, if set out eighty to an
acre, to form an orchard of more
than 800 square miles. The fruit
raised on these trees is a source Of
income for the province, which
sometimes makes $4,000 year by
selling the products of this elongat-
ed orchard. The province main
tains a nursery of 403 acres to sup
ply young trees for roadside use
and for promoting the interests of
fruit culture. The profit on a tree is
very small, but the Hanover people
do not worry about that. Shade is
afforded in summer, the roadbed is
free from dust, the presence of
trees retards the washing out of the
soil from the banks into the road
side bitches, and the attractive APP
pearance of the roadsides stimu-
lates an interest in tree culture and
benefits the province in many other
ways. The find it worth while

Journals For the Blind.

The announcement that. the Lon
don Daily Mail is about to issue a
weekly edition for the blind draws
attention to the other British jour
mails published in Braille type, which
have had a long and useful career,
though they have seldom been seen
by the general public. The first
weekly newspaper for the blind was
published on June 1, 1892, and call
ed the Weekly Summary. It has
always been issued below cost price,
and its promoters derive no benefit
from its publication. Another was
started only last year, called the
Braille Weekly, and issued from
Edinburgh.

Novel Idea to Help

market panic, it is not strange that

Vanced the theory that it is the duty
of every patriotic lady, whether or
not Daughter of the Revolution,
to buy as many and as costly gowns
as possible, and to throw them
away after few wearings. Only
so can the mills making dress
goods be kept going, and dividends
be paid upon the billions invested.
Hence if there is just now, a fin
szncial cloud" upon our horizon,
LET the women hasten to :dispel''

purple and fine linen. This fin

other that praises waste. Logical
Iy, it is just as sound as the pro
tective system, or any plan of
making work. instead of seek
ing to obtain advantageously the
products of work. We may smile
at this dressmaker dropping into
finance, but she is at least as wise
as T. V. Poverty, at whose feet
our public men were anxious to sit
twenty years ago; and her praise
of extravagant luxury as the cure
for our financial ills has a respect

Had a Froq's Heart.

Once again, says the Dundee Adj
vertiser, have the scientists proved
to be wrong. Until recently it was
thought that a child could only live
eight or ten years with what is
known as "a frogs heart "a heart
with single ventricle to perform the
double purpose of propelling the
pure, blood throughout the system
and sending the impure blood to the
lungs for publication. In the nor
NAL being these two operations are
performed by separate ventricles.
In the course of the post norton
examination of a man about thirty
five years old who had suffered from
heart disease in one of the Manches-
ter hospitals it was found that he
had lived half the allotted span with
heart in all its details like that of
a frog except that it WIS much
larger. It Is said that such a case
is unique in the annals Of medical
science.

What purpOrts to be an authentic
statement gives the total acreage of
swamp land in Minnesota as 10, ll2, 72O
acres, of which 334, 1000 are located in
Mile Laos county. The total acreage
OF Mile Laos county is about 1868, 900
acres, and that includes roads, rivers
and lakes. AS a matter of fact there is
not to exceed $4,000 acres of swamp
land in Mile Laos county, and most
OF that is not of very swampy char
acter-it is nearly all susceptible to
cultivation. The swamp land area of
the state is grossly exaggerated by
those who have drainage on the
brain. There is some dry land in
