information on subjects of vital inter
est to our irrigation farmers. This
department will appear in each issue
of The Ranch, beginning with one of
the forthcoming issues, and we ARE
certain that it will prove as great
favorite with our readers as has our
incompatible horticultural department
conducted by Mr.. F. Walden, who the
editor of The Rural New Yorker states
is the foremost horticultural authority
in the United States.
We are going to feature our irriga-
ton department in the same manner
that we have featured the horticultural
department We are going to make it
one of the strongest departments in
this already great farm paper. With
Mr. Walden, the best horticultural edi-
tor, in charge of his department; Mr..
H. l.. Blanchard, foremost authority
of poultry and dairy, in charge of these
two departments; Professor Lancas-
ter, whom Samuel Hill says is the best
good roads engineer in the country, in
charge of our good roads department;
Mr. Benedict in charge of our agricul-
tural department, and Mr.. McLaugh-
lin in charge of the irrigation depart.

give our readers during the coming
year the strongest and most ably edit
ed technical farm journal that has
ever been issued from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Coast.

1t was originally intended that this
issue of The Ranch should be The
Logged-Off Land Number, but on Sec
ond thought and upon consultation
with the various people interested in
the logged off land campaign, we de-
cided to postpone that issue until after
the convention. believing we would
then be able to present more matters
of interest to our readers and publish
an issue that would be complete and
comprehensive in every respect. We
have, therefore, confined this issue to
the announcement of the convention,
in which we have outlined the pur-
poses for which the gathering is to
be held and give a complete program
of the papers which are to be read
and speeches to be delivered upon this
occasion. The regular Logged-Off

While we are conducting the logged
off land campaign for our west OF the
mountains readers, we have no inten-
ton of neglecting the readers Of the
irrigation section east of the noun
tains who comprise gOOdly portion
of our subscription list. To prove that
we have worked in their interest, we
will now give them little bit of good
news, which we have had in store for
them for sometime. We have just
completed arrangements with w. w.
Mclaughlin, the most eminent irriga-
ton engineer in the United States,
who is now in charge of the irrigation
department of the Utah State Agricul-
tural College, to take charge of the IT.
rigation department of The Ranch.
While we have had Mr.. McLaughlin's
name at the head of our paper as irri-
CATION editor for some little time, yet
his duties merely consisted in the an
swering of the Inquiries sent in to us
by our readers. He has not under
taken, up until this time, to write
regularly for that department of this
paper. He has now promised, how
ever, to conduct regular department

Anniversary Social.

The Literary, Social and Athletic
Club, of Hampstead, celebrated its
fourth anniversary on Saturday night
last by giving a leap year social in
the Firemen's Building, which proved
to be one of the most successful events
of the season. The hall was prOfusely
decorated with club colors and PEN
nants, crepe paper, etc. The amuse-
ments of the evening were varied, and
in numerous of the contests prizes
were awarded One of the most en-
joyable features of the evening were
the songs of welcome composed and
rendered by the l.. S. A.
The manner in which partners were
procured for the supper which follow
ed was out of the ordinary. Each
gentleman wrote his name on heart,
which was pinned on sheet, and the
ladies tried their skill with the bow
and arrow, and numerous were the
hearts that were pierced.
Supper was served on the first floor
in a hall decorated for beauty, and
filled with good things to eat, which
would be difficult to surpass. The
menu consisted of oysters, ham, chick
en- salad, pickles, potato chips, olives,
sailed peanuts, oranges, bananas, ice
cream, cake, coffee, ETC., which was
followed by short speeches, with Her
bert Wooden as master OF ceremonies.
The l.. S. A., and particularly the
committee of arrangements, deserve
much credit for the manner in
which they entertained their guests,
and the hundred visitors, who were
from nearly every section of the cOun-
ty, were profuse in their thanks for
the evenings pleasure.

leg taken off by a circular saw Mon
day morning. Mr.. LOckard, with his
father, owns and operates a portable
saw mill and thresher, run by trac-
ton engine. These he moves from
place to place, as occasion demands.
He Is now employed in saving lumber
on the Cunningham farm, near West
minister, on the road leading to New
Windsor At the time stated he STEP
ped across the log to adjust something,
when his trousers, which were of
strong corduroy, became entangled
in the teeth Of the saw, and drew him
backward The saw entered the cali
of the right leg, about middle way
of the muscular portion, and took out
a piece as large as the palm of the
hand. 1t then went on down the trou-
ser leg and through the back of the
shoe, but did not in1ure the foot Mr.
Lockard was placed in buggy and
brought to town, where the wound
was dressed by DR.. D. F. Shipley. Mr.
Lockard is to be congratulated that
the results were not more serious.
