WHAT is ARID FARMING?

William G.. Deming, editor of The
Wyoming Tribune, has answered the
question, What Is Arid Farming?" in
the following words:
Two years ago in the Rocky Noun
tain West dry farming was a joke and
a by-word. Today hundreds of thou
sands of acres are, or soon will be, un-
der cultivation by this method; thou
sands of sturdy men are it's devotees.
Dry farming has joined hands with ir-
rigation in retaining the barren
wastes of the West.
Technically speaking, all that sec
ton of country in which the annual
rainfall is less than twelve inches is
called arid. Where the rainfall ex-
ceeds twelve inches and is less than
twenty inches, it is called semi-ar1d'
For convenience and easy reckoning,
draw a line from Bismarck, North Da-
kota, through North Platte, Nebraska,
to Laredo, Texas, and all that country
to the westward to the Sierra Neva-
das, and the Cascade Mountains may
be termed arid or semi-arid, and 1t
embraces more than one-third of the
entire United States. In this section
is all that is left of the public domain,
and it is the hope of the men and
women, who, crowded out Of the con-
gested East, desire to carve out new
homes in the West and transmit to
their children a family root-tree.
1t should be remembered in passing
that the most liberal estimate ever
placed upon the amount OF arid and
semi-arid land which it is possible to
reclaim by irrigation, if all the waste
waters were utilized, is ten per cent
of the total area, and this doubtless is
twice too much.
After counting out the irrigated land
the mountainous lands, the worthless
lands, the timbered lands, the mineral
lands, the government reserves and all
other lands suitable for grazing pur-

larry attraction is destroyed and evap-
grafton reduced to a minimum. Even
the casual or Indifferent student OF
agriculture will see that the effect of
narrowing after rain or snow prevents
the forming of a crust and the conse-
quent cells which accelerate evapora-
ton.
Thus the secret of dry farming Is
the conservation of the moisture that
falls and the secret of the conserva-
ton is the destruction of the little cells
at the surface through which evapora-
ton is so active, and the secret of the

quent narrowing of the surface, which
prevents the forming Of the crust.
The soft dirt Or granular condition
permits the moisture to pass rapidly
into the ground and likewise holds 1t
where it will do the most good. That
in brief, is the science of dry farming,
which after all is not "dry" farming,
but the intelligent retention and appli-
cation of all the moisture that falls in
a section of country whose agricul-
tural possibilities have heretofore been
considered more than doubtful

research of young secretaries lately out of college. MT. Taft made a laughing accusation and confession from the plat form less than year ago, in the pres- ence of MT. Roosevelt and Chief For rester Pinchot, to which his predecessor pleaded guilty with the famous Roose- welt grin. MT. Taft said that Pinchot could, if he would, tell where some of the best passages of both President and President-elect came from. It will be remembered that one of MT. Roosevelt 5 messages contained a paragraph which was pretty nearly word for word Folks celebrated definition of bribery as "the treason of peace.' Many of our pres idents incorporate in their mesAages, without credit and without essential change, matter submitted to them by their cabinet secretaries. William H. Seward, 1t appears wrote some of the exceptionally able messages which bear the signature of President Andrew Johnson.
 It Is assumed here that a busy public man may receive assistance of this sort. Indeed, 1t would be physically impossible for him personally to accum- ulate the data needed for all his more thoughtful addresses and public docu- ments, and at the same time attend to his work They must be based at least on research conducted for him by others. That, among other things, Is what secretaries are supposed to be for.

ALUMINIUM MONEY.
France VIII Provide Cheap Pocket
 Change.

From the St. Louis Dispatch
 A French franc piece is worth about 20 cents. As a hundred centimes make a franc, French centime is nearer no money at all than the American mill - Although ten mills make a cent we have never got below the cent in this country. The reason is that it has been easier to make living in the United States than in countries where the small est fractional currency" is used.
 Two generations ago it was so easy to live in the western United States that those who thought too much of little things were called "Picayunish The picayune was worth six and a quarter cents. We have outlived the idea that it is not worth while to stoop down in the street to pick up that much money. We find pennies worth while because an increasing number of things worth while can be bought with them. In France now a sou will buy many things we can not get for a penny in this country
 But as a person loaded down with sous would have less money than the value of the smallest French gold piece, the French government is about to modern ize the pocket money it provides for small bargains. It will put coins in cir culation soon made of the clay-metai aluminium. They will run from one centime up to 25. The metal is so light that its coins will be almost a paper currency in weight while they are hard enough to outlast silver
 This will be the first aluminium money ever made in Europe. One side Of the aluminium coin will have the head of the republic on 1t. The other will have the

Riotous Use of CoIors.

From Vogue
 A Parsian actress made real sensa- ton among the women Of the audience when she appeared in the third act in a princess gown of cerise cloth. Sable r-edged skirt and sleeves, black satin and gold braid trimmed the corsage
 This marvellous red color was seen in the foyer between acts combined with gold lace and black tulle. Not for many seasons have we had such riotous use of colors in their most vivid shades
 Whole gowns and wraps of brilliant fabrics are worn by the most original of the smart mondaines, and every one is induging in at least one strong touch of color somewhere in the toilette.

 Statistics go to prove that Parisians de- voured 10000 horses during the past year. and now an effort is being made to es- tablish butcheries for dogs. But the wom- en are up in arms. All of them. Not only the ladies of the Society for the pro- tection of Birds, but the ladies of each and every rank of social life
 If the prefect of police. Pepine, does not have a care he will bring on female revolution, for the ladies mean business. It appears that pet dogs make a savory dish from the fact of their being fed on choice dishes
 Finally Foreau de Courmelles, a physi- elan of high standing and president of the Anti-Vivisection society gives exact sci entific reasons why dogs could never fur nish healthy food for man.
 He points out that dogs are refined and sensitive and very intelligent If wor- ried or tormented they develop symptoms of poison.
 The Marquise de Noailles refers all would-be dog-eaters to Ouida's book en- titled "The Dog of F1ander." She thinks after reading this book, which so ably portrays the fidelity of the dog, no one would ever tolerate the establishment of a butchery for Mans best friend"

 Just how many, and what. speeches by American public men owe their inspira- ton to industrious subordinates with a literary turn nobody knows. There Is a widely held theory that the speeches of eulogy on departed senators and repre- sentatives, to which now and again a special number of the Congressional Record Is devoted, often have such an origin, and it is a fair inference that the poetical quotations with which they are studded are the product of the taste and

and Miss Anderson are making their

pleased with the climate, that they may
return here during the coming winter

the Nile.
While in Cambodia, they were enter

THE JURY FINDS A
VERDICT OF GUILTY
IN THIRD DEGREE
Yesterday Lightfoot Made Sensational Address
of Five HoursJury Took Six Hours to
Reach Its Decision.

Lightfoot accused him OF breaking his
solemn promise, going back on his
word, regulating the stipulation he
agreed to in open court.
Lightfoot went farther. He attacked
the Sugar Planters Association, which
he accused, by inference, at least, of
being the backbone of the prosecution
and furnishing the funds to employ ex-
pensive lawyers He denounced the
planters for their attitude toward the
Japanese, for trying to railroad the
defendants TO jail in order to get them
out of the way so they could "drive
the laborers back to work in the cane
fields at the old scale of wages' He
dared any man to say that the japanese
were fairly treated or properly paid.
The sugar plantations, some of them,
he said, are paying dividends as high
as three and half per cent. per month
on their heavily watered stock-and yet
they can It afford to pay their laborers
living wage The planters have
gobbled everything from Hawaii to Ka-
uai; they have combined together, and
vet because the Japanese combine to
try and get their wages increased, the
planters have some of them arrested for
conspiracy and try to railroad them to
jail.
Kinney's reply, which it had been
expected would exceed his opening ad-
dress, was short. The attorney for the
prosecution appeared physically worn
out and he spoke but half an hour, GO
ing over some of the points made by
Lightfoot aiming to refute them. Both
sides, however. were anxious to have
the case go to the jury before court
adjourned, and Kinney stopped much
sooner than he was expected to.
Kinney in the morning concluded
his opening argument taking it up
where he had left off the afternoon be-
fore. He said in part:

SMALL JAPANESE
GIRL IS KILLED
Automobile or Wagon Strike
Girl Running Across
the Street.

There was most regrettable acci-
dent on the Leah road just before
shutdown last night. A japanese wo-
man, Tame by name, was walking down
ing kiawe beans. Two of the children
We're helping her to put the beans in a
side of the road for rest.
Tame heard the sound of an automo-
bile horn and looked round. She saw
a wagon and an automobile, the latter
passing the former and both coming at
a good speed. She called to her child
to look ont so that the little girl was
fustered and ran across the street to
her mother. Before she could reach
the other side of the road one of the
vehicles struck her and she was picked
up by her mother in state of col
lapse.
The automobile kept on its way, but
the wagon, which was driven by a care
full Portuguese boy, pulled up. The
mother ran and picked up her child and
went into the Leah dairy where the
father was working. The latter called
up japanese doctor and DIR. Wayson
and finally called up the police station
The wagon was sent out audit was
fntended to take the child to the
Queen IS Hospital, but the father stated
that he would prefer to have the girl
sent to the japanese Hospital, and sc
it was taken there.
After examination it was found that
the child had a fractured skull and
there seemed little chance of saving its
life. The doctors did their utmost bul

O'Clock.
The cEiId's name was Savaio. She

name of Mukai. He is said to be q
good worker and valued by his employ.
ers. The mother is overcome with
grief and cannot tell very much about
the accident.
All she knew was that wagon and
an automobile came along the road to
gether and that one of them struck the
child after she had called to her to look
out. She was unable to say whether
it was the wagon or the machine that
did the harm.
The driver of the wagon has q good
name with the firm by whom he is en-
ployed and, seeing that he stopped inn
mediately to render assistance, those
who are connected with the bereaved
family do not think that he was guilty
of any negligence. The general opin-
ion seems to be that the automobile
was hustling to get by the wagon and
The frightened child, running to its
mother, was run over before the auto
mobile could be stopped.
