MOTOR BOATS IN VENICE
Nomantic Canals Are No Longer
MonopoIized by the Old
Time GondoIa.

The romantic canals of Venice are
no longer monopolized by the old-time
gondola. or even the steam or gaso-
hne launches, for the American motor
boat has invaded those historic wa
ters.
The first motor boats on the canals
were those ordered by wealthy Vene-
dans and foreigners, desirous OF
greater speed and comfort than was
attainable by the gondolas. Then the
city of Venice. which entertains some
notions touching municipal owner
ship" took a hand in the matter and
established a transportation system Of
Its own: whereupon was to be seen
the novel sight of American motor
ooats "chugging" along the canals.
The fare on the municipal boats Is
low-about 2 cents.
One great advantage which the
motor boat is said to possess over the
steam and gasoline launches is that 1t
does not "kick up" the waves against
the houses as do those higher built
craft. II follows, then, that the little
American motor boat is permitted to
proceed where It listeth. not only up
and down the Grand canal as well as
on the smaller waterways that vein
the city, but is allowed TO navigate the
narrowest OF other waterways, where
the heavily churning craft are pro
hibited
There are those who contend that
the historic gondola is doomed before
the advance of the less beautiful. but
more practical motor boats. and that
II viii not be so long ere. instead Of
the song OF the gondolier. there will
be heard the whistle or the horn of

WATER AN AID TO DIGESTION
Medical Investigators Have Concluded
That Plentiful Drinking at Meals
10 Distinctly Beneficial.

Medical investigators have reached
the conclusion that instead of being
harmful to drink quantities of water
with meals IL is distinctly beneficial.
Recent experiments along this line are
described in The New York Medical
Journal. The writer says:
Not long ago 1t was almost the rule
for physicians to discourage the habit
Of drinking water except in minimum
amounts with meals. on the ground
that the gastric Juice was thereby d.
luted and that digestion was impaired
and delayed. This opinion is still held
by many physicians. and is the pet
hobby of a great many diet cranks
and cranks-professional and anna
teur.
"On the other hand. there have been
many who believed that an appetite
as widely distributed as the desire to
drink at the time of eating. an appe-
tite seen in so many animals as we'll
as in man, was a perfectly safe guide
to trust. and that it was obviously
provision of Nature to supply water
which was needed at this time
Recent experimental evidence
seems to confirm the latter view The
work of Foster and Lambert has
shown that water is distinct stimu-
liant to the gastric mucosa, and that
instead of the presence of water in
the stomach resulting in dilute gas
trio juice. it. on the other hand. occa-
sions the secretion OF Juice of higher
concentration than under ordinary cir
cumstances.
More recently Fowler and Hawk
have made a study of the metabolic
influences of copious water drinking
with meals. A normal man, % years
OF age. was studied for a preliminary
period and then for a period OF five
days. during which he drank three
quarts of water a day with his meals.
The result showed an increase in
weight of two pounds.

Engineers Report

To the many who are inquiring
voir enterprise near Cedar in San
Miguel county, Colorado, l will say
that / have finished the survey. of
two reservoirs this summer, one of
which will contain ten thousand
seven hundred acres OF water one
foot deep with dam requiring fifty
six cubic yards OF dirt to the acre
foot of water. The other one will
store about ten thousand acre feet
with n less quantity OF dirt in the
dam. There is plenty of dirt avail
able for building the dams at small
cost and the reservoirs are ideal for
holding water.
These reservoirs are SO situated as
to cover the entire valley OF thirty
thausand acres or more, by means OF
about eight miles of ditch to the
upper part OF the land to be watered.
There are three other reservoirs To-
Gated which can, and will be utilized

than ample to fill these artificial
lakes each year, besides irrigating
the land during the early part of the
season. ! have been camped near

The country has but few stones on
the surface. The prevailing rock is
sandstone. The soil is deep and
strong. principally red soil covered
with gramma grass, some sage
brush and other shrubs in places,
but all easily cleaned and much of ii

1t will grow any crop that is
raised in Delta county. The fruit is

The Strawpile


After hay is well cured 1t may be
drawn to the barn or shed.
If the trailing sort is planted care
must be taken in stacking that good
ventilation is given to prevent mold.
A good stand will yield from one and
one-half to two tons per acre.
In the north it is valuable drought
resisting plant and will grow where al
most any other plant would perish.
Many farmers save only seed suffi-
cient for their own use, as the labor
is tedious.
The pods are picked by hand or when
the bush sort is grown the plants are
pulled and sorted away until some con-
venient time when they are threshed
out by fail or by machine.
II the trailing scSt is wanted the
vines are moved and treated as above.
Some wastage occurs in this method,
but this can be utilized in pasturing
afterWard.
Green COW pea hay is far more nu-
tritious than red clover and contains
less dry matter for total weight than
any of the grasses or clover.
When planted for green manuring it
is advisabl to turn hogs or any stock
into the fields about the time the pods
are ripening.
Hogs, especially young pigs, thrive
on the succuIent growth and the quail
ity of the meat is very superior.
An acre of COW peas will pasture
eighteen or twenty hogs several weeks.
The worst drawback is the first cost
of the seed. but when once YOU have
started their growing YOU can save
your own seed at half of first cost.

Most Profitable Farm Animal

Opinion is divided and probably al
ways will be on the question when IS
the most profitable farm animal 10
raise. Many believe the horse brings
the greatest profit, others tie their 1alth
to the beef breeds, and still offers TO
the dairy breeds of cattle. but II
seems that the friends of the hog are
in majority. A hog requires more
care at times than do some other am
mails. but it is wonderfully prolific, ana
if the quality and breeding are right 1t
is easy to make a market for the ann
nal produced, and the farmer has the
advantage of turning his money over
more rapidly and more probably IN
hog breeding than in perhaps any
other kind of animal production or
course, there are many risks to as
sumo. as the modern hog is a purely
artificial product and subject TO num-
ors and diseases which would not come
to il in its wild state The invest
ment of a moderate sum Of money in
few brood sows in the spring will
make a man a hog breeder within
year; whether bred as a specially or
as a side line the hog always gives a
good account of himself.-Kansas Far

In shape they also differ; some are

Drilling the seed is preferable when

After corn is laid by COW peas are
drilled in between rows and they will

corn is gathered When drilling for
this purpose the later kind are best.
Three pecks 10 the acre for this
work Peas should be sown not over
three inches deep and the soil must be
dry and warm.
When drilled for hay any after-cul
ture aids very much in the yield.
When the peas begin to show signs

if scientific methods of cultivation are
adopted the eNw York Central railroad
has purchased three of these farms To-
Gated in different parts of the Empire
state They will be managed by men
who have made a study of scientific
farming, who have htad actual exper-
fence and who will furnish abundant
proof to the farmers of the neighbor-
hood that agriculture is a profitable
industry even on lands that have been
abandoned as exhausted and worthless.
AS matter of fact, these farms will
be schools to show the neighboring
farmers who are not prosperous how

farms soon earning a good profit, when
they will be sold and acreage else
