IRRIGATED DRY FARM GARDEN
Limited Amount of Ground Can Be
ProftabIy Watered by Means
Of Wind Mills.

Tests made by the United States
government experiment stations have
shown that a limited amount of
ground can be profitably irrigated by
means of wind mills and reservoirs. or
by pumps worked by gasoline or other
engines. AS the dry farmer is, as
rule. dependent upon wells for his wa
ter supply, he should, by all means
supplement his farming with a garden
of from one to five acres, for which q
pumping plant of sufficient reservoir
capacity can be put In place for mod

ONE GAIN OF CHECK METHOD
Chief Advantage is One Man Can At

The chief advantage OF the check

the cost Of applying water less than
by any other method except the border

vantages which western farmers ought
to consider These are the removal
of a considerable quantity of surface
soil to form the levees, which fire.

and the fact that this method Is not

would well become a robber baron OF
the melodramatic stage. There was
at least plenty of material here for
any sort of brows which the lady pre-
ferred.
After thinking II over she decided
upon threadlike much arched wonders
which shone out beautifully agains,
