At Garden City Kansas under
Conditions similar to
those here

Garden City, Sept. II. More atten-
ton is being paid to the installation and
perfccting of pumping plants in this
part Of the Arkansas valley than ever
before and the efforts of the govern
ment and Of the sugar company seems
to be an incentive to many landowners
to install private plants for lifting the
urderAow of the river for irrigating
their own lands. A pumping plant Of
this kind, one Of the most complete in
the valley has just been installed by r.
s. Cone on his ranch south and east of
Dee1feId and the two days test that it
has had shows, the plant TO be more
than coming up to the expectations of
the owner.
The power FOR raising the water is
suppliedby a 20-horse power gasoline
engine, which operates a siXinch pump
and lifts the water from three sixteen
inch wells. The capacity of the pump is
1 $50 but the plant has already pumped
1400 gallons a minute with the utmost
ease and if necessary this figure could
be raised.
1t was necessary to drill 81 4 feet be
fore striking water and the depth of
the well is 81 feet. When left standing
the water in the well rises to within
seven feet Of the surface of the ground
and when the pump is running at full
capacity the water is lowered but six
feet, The arrangement of the pump
provides for elevating the water dis
tance of twenty feet, making the outlet
big enough to give sufficient fall for
watering any part Of the tract.
The machinery was Installed by Car
ter brothers and when w. 0. Carter
called at the plant to inspect it he found
it giving excellent sa tisfaction. bitches
had been arranged from the plant to a
field of alfalfa near at hand and the
pump was supplying a strong head of
water for the d.tches
1t is estimated that the plant will
supply ample water for irrigating one
hundred acres in a season with the
minimum rainfall. Mr., Cone is consider
ing a plan for installing cement ditch
es Of some kind and, when this is com
pleted, The plant will furnish sufficient
water to irrigate an entire quarter sec.
ton.
At the present time the plant is il
the open, but building will be erected
over it in the next few days and tht
equipment will be sheltered from th'
effects Of the weather. With such 1
plant one man can operate the engin,
and at the same time irrigate tn
ground, bringing the expense to tn
minimum.
A practical example Of the results o
irrigation can be seen in the same feel
where the flooding was done. Severa

Old FavOrites
King Canute.

King Canute.
Upon his royal throne he sat,
In a monarch's thoughtful mood:
Attendants on his regal state
Ills scrvile courtiers stood,
With foolish batteries, false and vain,
To win his smile, his favor gain.
They told him cen the mighty deep
His kingly sway confessed:
That he could bid It's pillows leap,
Or still Its stormy breast!
lie smiled CONTEMPORARY, and cried,
BE then, my boosted empire triedv'
Down to the oceans sounding shore
The proud procession came,
To see Its pillows wild uproar
King Canute's power proclaim:
Or, at its high and dread command,
In gentle murmurs kiss the strand.
Not 80, thought he, their noble king,
As his course he seaward sped -
And each base slave like a guilty thing
Hung down his conscious head -
He knew the oceans Lord on high!
They, that he scorned their senseless lie
His throne was placed by oceans side
He lifted his sceptre there;
Bidding with tones Of kingly pride,
The waves their strife forbcar -
And. while he spoke his royal will,
All but the winds and waves were still.
Louder the stormy blast swept by,
In scorn of his idle word;
The briny deep Its waves tossed high,
BY his mandate undeterred,
As threatening, In their angry play,
To sweep both king and court away.
The monarch, with upbrniding look,
Turned to the courtly ring:
But none the kindling eye could brook
Even Of his earthly king;
For In that wrathful glance they see
A mighticr monarch wronged than he!
Canute! thy regal race IL run;
Thy name had passed away,
But for the need this tale hath won,
Which never shall decay;
It's meek, unperishing rcnown
Outlasts thy sceptre and thy crown.

JAMES, TURN THE HOUSE."

William Re!man, New York City. has
had plans drawn for a revolving house
which he will build at Bayside, y. Y.
Mr.. Relman's Bayslde home will be
the result OF many years Of thought
over the matter Of genuine home com.
fort. for he has often declared that,
with the advantages Of modern appli-
ances and electricity, there seemed lit.
tie reason for the sunny side Of a
house being In the sun all summer and
the shady side being In the shade all
winter.
Mr. Reiman would have a home the
windows Of which may follow the sun
shine In winter or avoid 1t In summer.
An architect has studied the problem
and has completed plans for such a
home, which will be built at cost Of
$4,000 exclusive Of the real estate.
As proposed, the house will be con.
structed on turntable, which will be
operated by electric power. The owner,
In bis library or bedroom, may press
q button, and on the piazzas will sound
q tInkllng Of bells TO those who are
about 10 enter or leave the house, warn
ing them that the Relman home Is
about 20 maEeuver by either the right
or left flank. Allowing family, servants
or guests time 10 get either in or out
OF the house, Mr., Relman will then
press another button, and the house
will swing TO right or left, as he may
desire.
Sitting in his library window and
~earyIng Of the view, he may turn the
house round and get another vista
without leaving his chair. or II the
breeze shifts and the owner OF the
house finds himself cut of from It he
gives the alarm and moves his home

breeze where he wants 1t. or course
sunshine and shade will be his to com.
mand, and II he desires 10 sleep late
and the light Is In his window he
presses the button near his bed and
swings away from the east.
The house was designed by Mr.. Rel.
man himself. and the plans as drawn
show that his scheme Is emlnently prac,
teal. Mr.. Re!man vii! have neither
front nor back yard 10 his house. The
lawns will be so laid out that the front
entrance will fit at any point OF the
compass. The revolution Of the house
Will be practically noiseless, and part
OF the turntable will be visible.

will have a lot Of hygienlc advantages
