To Make Arid Lands Fertile.

The main idea of irrigation is to
make arid lands fertile. The attend
ant result has far greater interest to
the United States. For the cherished
thought OF nation of home owners is
getting steady encouragement wher-
ever this work is being pushed.
The word irrigation is full Of mean
ing to the people Of certain of
the western states. Its story Is
told in stages. There is hopefulness
as the project Is presented. There
is development as its effects begin to
appear. There is assured prosperity
as the desert blossoms as the rose.
And the desert Is blossoming, not for
owners of vast areas, but for hun
dreds and thousands Of Individuals
who are carefully cultivating compara-
lively small farms with most salts
factory results.

Mining Congress Closes.

Goldfiell Nev.-The American Min

sion here at noon Saturday after
adopting a resolution calling upon the
national government 70 pass laws
against granting perpetual franchises
for water power or water rights In
western states. and urging that SINH

out waiting for congressional action.
The aGex law, under which the dis
coverer of q mineral lode or vein can
follow 1t outside the lines OF his claim,
was another subject Of discussion, and
its repeal, with the substitution OF a
law making the side lines Of claim

Wildcat mining schemes were
olaced under the ban by the congress
which urged state and national legis-
!ation to prevent the operators OF
such schemes from diverting money
of investors, which might otherwise
be used in developing legitimate prop
critics.

'RAvAoes Of 4L0co" WEED

Poisonous Properties 70 Plant.

II was evident that the hrst thing
to do In the field experiment was to
prove whether the loco weeds did or
did not produce the disease. That
there was some disease causing loss
there was NO question. The pictures
show some Of the animals At different
stages Of the investigation. Horses
and cattle were Furnished BY the Col.
orado Experiment station. which Co
operated in the work. and at . later
stage In the investigation another CO.

views. Two similar pieces Of land
were selected: one was freed Of the

ture and part on the loco.free pas
ture. Other animals were fed In the
corrals purple and white loco which
were cut for the purpose.
The results OF these experiments
proved very Interesting. The animals
In the loco pasture ate freely Of the
weed: their coats became smoother
and they gained rapidly In flesh. Ev-
erything pointed toward the probabil.
ity OF the non.poisonous character OF
the plant. This opinion was strength.
ened by the failure to find. In the
Washington laboratory. any evidence
Of poison.
After some weeks OF feeding. how
ever. 1t was noticed. somewhat sud
denly. that one or two OF the cattle
stumbled as they walked. A series
of symptoms followed rapidly upon
those first noticed, and In a short time
our animals began to die. Before the
end OF the season nearly all the ami
mails to which had been fed any con-
siderable amount OF loco were dead.
while those that were kept In the
loco-free pasture remained perfectly
well. The first seasons work proved
conclusively that the stockmen were
right In ascribing poisonous proper
ties to the loco plants. Loco would
kill. and the manner OF death showed
those symptoms which the stockmen
claimed to be characteristic OF To-
coed animals. Further work In Wash
ington laboratories was confirmatory
OF the field work. and the demonstra-
tion was complete Of the poisonous
character OF the loco weeds.

CARING FOR BERRY BUSHES
Time for Tipping Raspberry 10 When
Long, Slender Branches Incline
Toward Earth.

Many OF our readers have Black
Cap raspberries as well as the pulple
Columbian and Schaffer red rasp-
sprouts. but must be tipped to prop
agate new plants. The process is
SO simple that anyone who can handle
spade may succeed with the work
The opportune time for tipping rasp-
berry bushes Is when the long, slen-
der branches incline toward the earth
and form roots on the terminals on
irrigated ground. Nature must be
assisted in the covering OF the ter
minals to insure q full supply of
plants. A spade is the ideal imple-
ment to use for the purpose. Thrust
the blade into the soil and push the
handle forward which will open the
earth to receive the tips Of the rasp-
berry bushes. With one hand grasp
the slender cane and hold the ter
minal in the opening while the spade
is drawn out with the other. The
soil will Immediately fill the cavity
which should be, firmly packed with
the foot to keep the branch in the
new home. where roots will soon form
on each and every lateral twig or
terminal thus covered. These root
ed ends will become Independent of
the parent plants as soon as they
take food for growth from the soil.
However. 1t is best to leave them
undisturbed until they are needed for
planting next spring. II a large num-
ber Of plants are desired the parent
bushes should be pinched back to
about three feet when the growth is
well established. This treatment will
produce a large number of lateral
shoots. each of which may be tipped
as suggested.

Frankness characterized DR.. Cooks
answers to every question. although
the explorer added but little to what
he already has said and published
since he returned to civilization.
When asked II he would In the fu
ture fit up an expedition to go to the
south pole. DIR. Cook said he was not
yet prepared to answer on that point,
but he added that the discovery Of
the south pole would be much easier
than the north pole. and would be at.
tended by far less dangerous risks.
He pointed out that a probable route
to the south pole would be along
stretches Of land on which stations
might be established and that this
would mean quicker discovery.
DR.. Cook laughingly said he did not
ut this time feel any earnest desire to
return to the north pole.
An enthusiastic crowd OF several
thousand people greeted DR.. Cook
upon his arrival and the throngs In
their eagerness to see or get near him
were kept in check with difficulty by
scores OF policemen and detectives.
At the station there was conspicu.

DR.. Cook. In his lecture, devinted
but slightly from his previous utter
ances in describing his dash to the
pole. and sought to confine himself
more to his travels and experiences
than to discussions Of criticisms
aimed at him. He asserted that while
he was glad to nave discovered the
pole and was glad to have returned
to tell the world about 1t. he had en-
deavored to make 1t plain that his

TOO MUCH WATER DISASTROUS
While Irrigation 10 Good Thing, II
Must BE Properly Handled to
Get Best Results.

While irrigation Is a very good
thing too much water is very disas-
trous. We know one instance in which
an orchard of several acres was
planted. Soon after the water had
been applied above 1t seeped out on
the slopes of the bench and rendered
the upper part of the orchard impass-
able for man or beast. In a few days
the first three rows of trees next to
the bench were practically all dying
or dead. except on small knoll of
rising ground which was high enough
to escape, and the injury was extend
ing to the next few rows adjoining. A
deep trench was dug so as to inter.
cept and drain the seepage water with
the result that the land below the
ditch was hard and firm while that
above was impossible as before. The
trees below this ditch rapidly recov-
cred their vigor and it appeared that
the orchard was saved. A cavern oc-
Cured, however, In this ditch near
one end. damming up the water for a
small distance, when 1t Immediately

chard below the ditch and within
three or four days the adjacent trees
were brown and scorched as II they
had been swept by fire. The ditch
was cleaned and repaired and the wa

trees and all but one Of them recov-
cred and put forth new crop of
leaves, the one next to the break be-
ing the only tree that died.
