IRRIGATED LAND THE BEST.
Experts concede It Is the Longest
Lived as to Fertility and in Pro

Irrigation is almost as old as his
tory itself 1t was known and used
with profit by the Egyptians The
rivers Nile, Amazon, Gauges and Dan
ube have all furnished their quota
of liquid help for mans enrichment,
but never in the history of the world
has irrigation received such an i'm
petus as in recent years.
Mankind has awakened to the fact
that it is better to have ones own
rain, right at his door. the kind that
don't drench him to the skin or soak

reason being, that the water from IT.
rlgation canals contain the same ele-

In Hawaii water for irrigation pur-

standing that enormous expense.
farming in that country pays 300 per
cent. more per acre than in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Kansas. and fully
100 per cent. more per acre than in
the New England states.
The growing season is three months
in Colorado, only 12O days in which
to plant, cultivate and harvest one
crop The balance of the year the
farmer may be up to his neck in
snow, yet irrigated land in that state,
that so far has never felt a plow-
share, is bringing up to $500 and
over per acre, because the adjoining
land already under cultivation. has
demonstrated its worth.
Over most of the northwestern
states the United States government
has expended large sums of public
money, locating irrigation systems. to
bring arid lands under the pillow.
What would appear as high prices
have been charged settlers for those
same lands. and they have had hard
shedding with perhaps six months of
non-producing weather, yet with all
that the northwest has become one
of the nations great storehouses,
proving beyond question the value OF
irrigation.

Some remarkable facts regarding

after stating that the tongue, the nose
and the skin are the only organs Of

functions. remarks that the tongue Is
the only organ except the heart which
presents a base, body and an apex,

In an irrigating country it is often
times necessary to take down a fence
to avoid a ditch or lateral when driv-
ing to or from a field. If this road is
used only a part of the year, or oc-
casionally, it does not pay to construct
a permanent gate. 4 temporary gate,
which will cost only a few cents, can
be constructed in the following man.
ner: Loosen the wires on three or
four posts. depending on the tight
ness of the wires Then drive two
staples about one-half inch apart
parallel to the wire and to each other
where the staples were formerly
driven in the post Place a spike at
the bottom of each of the two center
posts The wire can then be hooked
under these spikes and viii be held
close to the ground so it it is easy to
drive over When the fence is to be
closed place the wires between the
parallel staples and then run a nail
through both staples and outside OF
the wire.

OPERATION ON HARTMAN q
Celebrated Surgeon Summoned to
Financier's Home.

Arden, N Y. Aug. 2S.With eight
physicians in his home on Tower Hill
it is believed that f. II. Hartman is
to undergo an important operation
some time today
The arrival yesterday of two tanks
of oxygen and hospital truck. such
as is used in surgical operations adds
strength to the belief that the finan-
cier's condition is suca as to require
an operation and that it will not be
long delayed.
First of the physicians to arrive
was DR.. George w. Grille of Cleveland
Ohio, who came on a special train
over the Erie Railroad.
Dr. Grille has been in Breton
Woods, N. H., enjoying a vacation,
and last night Judge Lovett succeed
ed in reaching him on the long-dis-
lance telephone. Judge Lovett. il is
said, gave the surgeon a diagnosis of
Mr.. Harriman's case. which had been
given aim by DR.. Lyle, and DR.. Grille
consented to come on at once A
special train was supplied for him.
and he came without a moments de-
lay. The trip cost $1,000 for railroad
transportation alone.
