ABOUT IRRIGATION

American irrigation was old when
Rome was in the glory of it's youth.
The ancient aqueducts and subterra-
mean canals of South America, ex-
tending for thousands of miles, once
supplied great cities and irrigated i'm
mense acres Centuries before the
venturesome Norseman landed upon
the bleak and inhospitable shores of
New England, a large population
dwelt in the hot valleys of our far
southwest From the solid rock with
primitive tools of stone they cut
bitches and hewed the blocks for
many chambered palaces, which they
erected in the desert or on the lime
stone lodges of deep river canyons;
in a land of lone desert slopes and
sage-covered valleys, where volcanic
peaks and cinder cones, bad lands and
alkali wastes, that mysterious land,
silent and full of color and enchant-
ment today evince strange habita-
tions, now at places populating only
a remnant of a prehistoric race.
The glowing atmosphere, the vast
stretches of land, the towering cliffs
of rugged rock and the primitive
peaceful Indian folk who once lived
after the manner of their forefathers
in villages that seem to have been a
part of it-all since the morning of
the world have all departed This
magnificent aboriginal race that has
decayed so swiftly under the death
giving touch of the white man, but
the voiceless ruins, older than the
memory of many centuries, tells the
story of a thrifty, home-loving and
semi i-cultured people concerning whose
fate history brings US no word. In
these palaces and in many miles of
canals we may almost read the story
of another Egypt.
Let us write the first page of our
own history: Here in the sixteenth
century Coronado, the first great
American explorer, swept up the Rio
Grande valley journeying as far north
as Kansas. In New Mexico he found
a pastoral race dwelling in pueblos
and practicing the gentle art OF irri-
cation as had their forefathers. Even
unto this day their grain is gathered
in great willow baskets, is thrashed
by the tramping of horses and win
moved by the winds. Fields which
were cultivated three centuries ago
are still producing crops each year.
What find we today? Practically in
our own country new people domi-
mates the land and the last quarter
of a century q crop producing area OF
10000, 900 acres has been wrested from
our arid desert lands. Irrigation
canals long enough to span the earth
twice and representing an outlay of
$50, 900, 900 have been built. Every year
this area returns a harvest valued at
more than $150, 100000, and 100000
people dwell in prosperity and content
where only a short time ago the will
derness reigned.

SLAsHED SLEEVES

Many of the sleeves in the new even
ing gowns are slashed, with another
material appearing underneath. Here
is another adaptation of the 'two-ma-
terial'' idea that is being so eagerly
taken up by the economical home
dressmakert
For instance, in one black velvet
gown, which had an underskirt of light
green silk, triangular pieces were cut
out of the short sleeves and tho under
sleeves of green showed beneath. The
space was laced across by strings of
crystal beads.
In another very elaborate gown OF
white satin, a French model, the
sleeves were cut away entirely in front,
being caught only at the top and bot
tom, so as to form an oval space, the
undersleeves in this case being of tail
less ermine. The idea, of course, could
be adapted to less luxurious materials.
The fur undersleeve under some light
weight fabric is an extremely modish
touch.
In another messaline gown the
sleeves were slashed In front, as be-
fore. but instead of undersleeves the
space was filled by a lattice work of
the silk twisted around wire and
caught at each intersection by a gold
sequin. The effect was indescribably
attractive.

DON'T BE TOO ExAcTING

We are often told that the most fire.
quent cause Of lovers quarrels is the
tendency Of one or both of them to
f1irt.
Certainly firtations produce more
genuine pain and misery among young
people than anything else.
But often what is termed flirting is
really nothing more than that lovers
are apt to expect too much of one an
other and to misconstrue the most or
dinary attentions paid to any one else
into flirting"
This is not only foolish. but it shows
a lamentable want of trust IN the
loved one.
If true love exists between two peo-
pie, each should always believe that,
though separated, they are constantly
in one another's thoughts, annd there
can be no place for anyone else.
OF course, 1t is annoying whenS one
has to attend a dance or some other
social festivity without the ether, but
surely that is no reason why q girl
should convert herself into a wall
flower all the evening simply because
her lover is not able to be present.
If he had been there he would not
have monopolized her the whole even
ing, and is it right that from a mis-
taken sense of what is due him he
should deny her the happiness of par
taking In the delights and pleasures of
the evening?
And it is not flirtation--it would be
absurd to think so.
Girls, too, are quite as exacting and
unreasonable.
To love one person best and to be-
come engaged to that one does not
mean that one is prohibited from en-
tering into the small enjoyments of
everyday life and that henceforth one
is to become a hermit.

EAcrs ABOUT TURKEYS

The turkey has been the last of our
domestic poultry to be brought from
a wild state and placed under domes-
tication. It still adheres to many of
the characteristics of it's wild condi-
ton, roaming extensively and hiding
it's nest.
The wild breeds are the Mexican,
Honduras and the North American,
while the domesticated varieties are
the Bronze, White Holland, Narragan-
sett, Buff, Black and Slate. The
Bronze is the largest OF the turkey
tribe, and much preferred by English
poulterers to all others. The White
Holland is considered to be the heavi-
est layer. 1t is plump and symmetri-
cal in body and has flesh of the finest
texture. 1t is hardy, docile and pro-
life. and natures the first season,
while the Bronze requires about two
years.
The Narragansett turkey is bred to
greater perfection in Rhode Island
than in any other state. Each year a
Narragansett turkey is sent to the
president of the United States for his
Christmas dinner by that veteran,
Henry Vose.
The Buff, Black and Slate turkeys
are so named on account of their color.
They are medium sized and have thier
champions, but are not so we'll ap-
preciated by the American poultrymen
as are the first three varieties mem
toned.

his clothes, but never outgrows his roller
skates. kansas City Journal.

GARDEN NOTES

Do not burn the leaves from the
lawn They make splendid bedding for
the stables or a mulch to be used be-
tween the rows of spinach. Spinach
sown broadcast should have a light
dressing of strawy manure put on with
a spreader. The sooner this work is
done the better.
If it has not already been done, rhu-
barb and asparagus should be manured
without delay. Fresh straWy manure
on the hills is best for rhubarb. For
aspara gus the manure should be put
on broadcast A spreader will fine and
spread it on evenly. Not much dan
ger of getting too much manure on
either crop.
Speaking of rhubarb reminds me of
an item l saw recently in a prominent
horticultural paper. The writer said
that he found rhubarb a very profit
able and easy crop to grow. All it
needed was a few civilizations early in
the spring. The last sentence is mis-
leading. Rhubarb is one Of the leading
truck crops in my own county, and
the best growers find it necessary to
cultivate it every ten days or two
weeks from early spring till late fall.
The grower who depends upon "a few
civilizations early in the spring" is
sure to get left. To be a profitable
crop rhubarb requires an abundance
of manure as we'll as frequent culti-
walton.
An abundance of reliable data shows
that stable manure is by far the best
all-round fertilizer for the gardener.

WORTH KNOWING

Buying olive oil by the gallon is one
case of economy.
To cover the pan in which fish is
cooking will make the flesh soft.
A clam shell in the inside of the
kettle will prevent the formation of
lime.
Large red apples, when served
whole upon the table, are polished with
olive oil.
When grating nutmeg remember they
will crate best if started from the
blossom end.
Children's overshoes need not get
mixed if they are kept together with
patent clothespins.
Lemons hardened from long stand
ing may be made usable by covering
few moments with boiling water.
One of the newest luncheon cloths
is q white linen with a border of By
zantine worked in pale blue cotton.
A common magnet is needed on the
sewing machine, for it is found use
full in picking out pins in the machine
drawers.
Oil stains on clothing should be COW
cred with soap and washed with cold
water before the garment is sent to
the laundry.
To blanch almonds pour water over
the almonds and leave them till the
water is cold, when the skins will be
quite loose

INFLUENCE OF THE BUNGALOW

There is no doubt that the bungalow
has had a salutary influence on do
meslic l,fe as far as simplicity and
comfort are concerned. 1t has brought
about a desire for the substantial
things rather than for those which are
ornate and gaudy. We have living
rooms now instead of parlors; curtains
of dimity instead of those of cheap
lace; good prints of famous pictures in
plain wooden frames instead of i'm
possible family portraits in immense
frames of glaring gold with a border
of vivid red; plain wood or wicker fur
niture instead of the cheap upholstered
articles which were formerly so much
seen. The bungalow has brought us
to--the stage of being independent
enough to have what we can afford,
because what we can afford is the
thing which is now fashionable. If we
have rag rugs and rag portieres we are
considered artistic instead of being
"horribly out of fashion," as was the
case a few years ago when a rag car
pet and poverty were synonymous.
We can follow our own intellectual
bent If we want simplicity, for false
pride and love of display are strangers
to the real bungalow spirit, which
stands for comfort and beauty.
Mother of pearl ornaments should be
cleaned with a paste of whiting and
cold water. Soap discolors them.

THE BEST BIRD

You talk about your Reds and Rocks,
Your barnyard Bluffs and kindred
stocks,
Your hooded kind with football locks,
Your Pigeons, Guineas and Game
Cocks,
Your Pekin Ducks and Turkey f1ocks->
They're all a lot of foolish clucks,
And can't compare with Runner Ducks.
The Indian Runner Duck, you see,
Is ladylike in high degree;
Two hundred eggs a year lays she.
She walks and runs most gracefully,
She does not squawk eternally-
And other birds are in the muck
When you trot out the Runner Duck.

IN THE ORCHARD

If the orchard trees are not thrifty
they do not need a dose of stree medi-
cine,"- guaranteed to increase the
yield fully 25 per cent-as some swim
dlers would have you believe. They
do need careful attention, feeding and
vigorous fight on all injurious in
sects and diseases. But no so-called
tree medicine No, sir!
It always makes a man who loves
trees feel bad to go past a orchard
and see the trees all scraggly, half
dead and covered with scales. 1t looks
as if somebody lives there that does
not know the worth of a tree.

POULTRY NOTES

Warm wheat for breakfast makes
the biddies shell out the eggs.
Plenty of bone all the time. If you
haven't a cutter use an old ak or a
hatchet, but break the bone in small
pieces.
You can gain 2 or 3 cents a dozen
by shipping your own eggs.
Fresh air is all right for the hens,
but not when it is sifted through knot
holes and cracks between the boards.
Sell your eggs for cash, and pay cash
for what you buy. Dickering is bad,
every way you can fix 1t.
Keep the egg record up every day.
If you skip one day, even, the rest will
all be a guess, and guessing isn't like
business.
Let all the old hens go and buy
