Swiss naturalists have recently pre-

Natural Science the results of their
studies of the remains of dogs found
among the ancient lake dwellings of

dogs existed there at that time, one

continue to be felt even more as the

HOW TO SAVE THE WATER
Suggestions offered by a Govern

Prof Samuel Fortier. chief of the
irrigation investigation bureau, fed
eral department of agriculture, ac-
companied by Don Bark, in charge
of this department for the state of
Idaho, spent the latter part of the
week on the Twin Falls tract.
DR.. Fortier was also making his
first visit here since the project was
established, and expressed satisfac-
ton at the progress made and also
flat he had personally failed
through inability to recognize its
possibilities to procure for himself a
home when he could have acquired
it for $3.50 per acre, as did sd
many far sighted people at that time.
He inquired especially into the
construction of the Twin Falls canals
and expressed belief that the time
would soon come when necessities
would demand the reconstruction Of
the head gates and other accessories
that were originally of wood. When
the time does come for the new work
of this kind, he declared it would
be OF cement DR.. Fortier continued:
HEADACHES constructed in the
future must have in view a greater
conservation of water in transmits
sion than in the past.
eve are encouraging the use Of
Portland cement concrete for the bed
of the canals. and we also are trying
to educate the farmers and irriga-
ton companies that it is cheaper in
the long run to use iron pipes to dis
tribute the water from the main can
al to the different localities to be
watered.
1--WE also want improvements in
the methods of applying water to
crops.
In the canal systems we have
been investigating we find that with
in a comparatively short distanc
there is a loss of 3 per cent of the
water which passes through the head
gates. This remarkable loss occure'
before the water leaves the cana
and is carried through the sub-can-
ais to the land to be watered.
In converting water from the
canal there is a heavy loss. Will
cement heds in the canal there WOulf
be none of these losses.

In Idaho there a few pipes useC
