Farmers generally look upon the
fact that the construction OF an irri-
cation system and irrigation as ne
cesslty. a misfortune or hardship
imposed upon them, forcing them to
'expend large amount OF money In
the construction OF system and a
great amount OF work In turning
the water onto their fields. This Is
all a mistake. The necessity for ir-
rigation coupled with facility for OBJ
tanning the same. gives farmer an
advantage over all sections where
the tiller OF the soil has 10 depend
upon the more or less regular supply
OF water In the natural way. Irrlga-
tion is an advantage, not a mlsfor-
tune. Irrigation makes the farmer
Independent OF the irregularities OF
the seasons.

cessary generally are favored with a
great amount OF sunshine and
warmth which. in combination with
an artificial supply OF water, moi

FOR HALLOWEEN.

The house and table decorations for All
Halloween are exceedingly grotesuue
and amusing this season OF course. the
pumpkin. witches and black cats are the
principal figures, though it is expected
that representations of ice caves. the
north pole, etc. in pure white. nha bited
by uncanny looking creatures dressed il
scarlet and black. will be quite as popula,
as the orthodox decorations, thus com
memoratlng the recent exploration and
the festival of All Halloween at the same
time.
Among the house decorations are imi-
tatfons in cardboard of wooden tubs filled
with water upon which mock apples float
Placed upon a stand or table some person
is sure to be deceived and try to dive for
an apple. The same model in a small size
is used as "A candy receptacle, single
apple serving as knob for lifting the lid.
The Jack Horner pies are immense yell
low pumpkins in crepe paper with green
ribbons issuing from the features of the
painted face. One end is tied to the pres
entS, the other ends with the name card.
The pies cost from 81 upward, according
to the number or the value of the favors
The north pole pies are about the same
price, white ribbons holding tiny black or
red witches The ribbons come from crew
ices in the ice and the presents are in
closed in the folds of the icebergs. Alto
gether this is a very pretty centerpiece
for the table. and, of course. newer than
the pumpkin.
Another novelty is bonbon or nut box
in a low. fiat shape, mounted with tiny
witch brewing something over "A mite of
d copper witch's kettle. supported by the
three sticks. The kettle is 10 larger than
a fairys thimble. supposing these little
people wear them. yet it is quite perfect
and swings as freely one might i'll the
usual size.
Black cats with arched backs, upon
which a name card will rest, are to be

house decoration are 81 and % cents each.

are large heads OF black cats, to be used
as lanterns. The small lamp or candle
inside throws a req light through the
holes in the painted features. These,
too, are terrible" in effect.
One of the new favors is what appears
to be beautiful pink or red rose mount
ed on a short stem. In the center. how
ever. is hidden one of those devices that
cause something to shoot out when the
end of the stem is blown through. These
