Some Of the newer varieties. such

PUMPS FOR
Great Success Has Been Met by Use
of Gasoline Engines and Wind
Mills on Small Tracts.

Pumping from wells with wind
mills and gasoline engines for irrigat-
ing small tracts Of land is highly sue
cesssful, according to S. o. Jayne of
Spokane, Wash, irrigation and drain
e expert connected with the United
States department of agriculture who
has recently rently returned from a
tour of the Quincy valley in south
central Washington. He said:
"The use of windmills is confined
to the irrigation of gardens and or
chards of one or two acres, but it is
surprising what may be accomplished
with ever a limited amount of water
when it is carefully applied and re-
inforced by tillage. With favorable
marketing conditions the products
from even a single acre irrigated in
this way might be made to yield a
greater revenue than the rest Of the
quarter section.
Many small pumping plants have
been installed throughout the district
for the irrigation of tracts of from
10 to 20 acres, and several notable
plants have been installed during the
year for watering commercial or
chards of greater size. OF these, one
of the largest is a 2O-horse-power
gasoline engine and a two-stop cen
trifugal pump with a capacity Of 400
gallons a minute. 1t is intended 10
irrigate so acres.
zone orchardist has installed a 10
horse power plant with a new pump
of the propeller type, while another
has put in a 12-horse power plant

will supply water to 40 acres of trees.
There is an engine Of 2O-horse power

eral smaller adjoining tracts to the
extent of about so acres in all.
I'm most cases the water is taken

dition, and suffers less welr AMI
tear. The success of the new method
depends on the determination of ali
dangerous animals within the en-
closure. and on the maintenance of a
fence which will keep off outside at
tacks.
Mr.. Taylor believes that the Wal
Iowa plan of construction is open TO
improvement in one particular. He
advocates placing a barbed wire on
the ground before the woven wire is
unrolled. and stapling it down.

closure soon" his letter concludes,

Destruction of Ancient Cities.

1t has always been somewhat of a
mystery why such once great popu-
lous and flourishing cities as Baby
lon and Nineveh have so entirely dis
appeared that nothing but weed
grown ruins remain to prove that
they ever existed. Inevitable
changes in trade routes and lines of
travel frequently cause.a city to lose
its commercial standing and to
shrink in population. but they do not
it to. entirely disappear from
the face of the earth. But the re-
searches of Or. Delitzsh, the eminent
German explorer and SCIENTIST. prob
ably solves the mystery. He says that
the average summer MONDAY tenn
perature in the Babylonian empire
was 122 and sometimes 149. With
this intense heat. flies, mosquitoes
and other insects were innumerable.
and also diseases of all kinds were
prevalent. Knowing, as we do, the
close relation between mosquitoes,
house flies and other insects with
disease and epidemics, and that no
attention was paid TO sanitation. it
is reasonable to suppose that some
great plague, like that which destroy
ed Sennacherib's army, swept away
the populations of many an ancient
city. In singular contrast to the lack
of cleanliness and sanitation by the
ancient oriental nations were the
strict sanitary laws of Moses. the OBJ
servance of which has made the Jews
proverbial for their immunity from
many diseases, and for their general
good health.-Exchange.

Coyote PROOF Pasture a Success.

The enclosure of a sheep range
within a coyote-proof fence has been
tried in Colorado by F. H. Taylor Of
Mancos, with highly satisfactory re-
suits. An experiment begun by the
U. S. department of agriculture on
the Wallowe nationl forest in Oregon
to discover whether sheep could be
advantageously pastured within such
an enclosure. led Mr.. Taylor to give
the new method a trial. The OUT
come is set forth in a letter to the
department. as follows:
After reading the description Of
your coyote-proof fence in Oregon, 1
constructed a fence to enclose about
500 acres in the same manner. The
fence was constructed during the
fall of 1908. and in the spring of
1909 and 1910, 1000 head of ewes
we're LANDED in this enclosure. In
the %vernacular of the herder. 30 per
cent of the lambs were saved, that is,
a lamb to each eve, and one mar did
all the work. l think the per cent
Of the lambs would have been higher.
but II animal, presumably a coyote,
was inside when the fence was con
structed. 1t was impossible to cap
ture this animal, even with hounds.
Some of the herders thought the ami
NAL was not a coyote. but since coy
ote tracks were found in several
places, l am of the opinion that it
was. Whatever the animal was. it.
raised its young inside the en-
closure"
Connecting his loss with the rapa-
city of this animal, Mr.. Taylor says:
"A great many of the lambs were
killed and a small hole eaten behind
the fore leg and the remainder of the
carcass was untouched. On the land
outside of the enclosure it required
the service of three men and a pack
of hounds to care for 1000 ewes, and
only 95 per cent Of the lambs were
saved. This per cent could not have
been saved without the assistance of
the hounds.
81 consider this fence a splendid
investment, since it easily pays for
itself in three years. On the other
hand, it is often difficult n some
times impossible to get men during
the Landing season. For this reason
the money value of the fence can
hardly be estimated"
The department of agriculture en-
tered upon the experiment of en-
closing sheep ranges within a fence
which would turn Notwithstanding
animals in the belief that this me-
thod would a v forage as we'll as
stock and wages. This belief has
been fully justified by the results.
The Oregon enclosure carried more
sheep than an equal area or range OF
the same quality outside, produced a
heavier lamb crop. heavier sheep and
more wool, and at the same time re-
suited in a better condition Of the
range itself. These advantages are
due to the different behavior of sheep
pastured within such an enclosure
from that of sheep herded in the
ordinary way.
When a band Of sheep moves about
in charge of a herder, it must be kept
from scattering much. AS a result
much of the forage is wasted through
trampling- Within an enclosure, how
ever. the sheep soon learn to spread
out and shift for themselves. Under
these conditions it is not to be won

The marvels of irrigation when
have already reclaimed millions Of
acres on the Pacific northwest and
helped make the group of northwest
states famous for their wealth of fruit
products all e the world, are still
in their infancy. No sooner is one pro-
ject competed than the government

other, while private enterprise as

rigation bitches are being built today
with all of the care and precision. and
nearly if not quite as great extent as
as expended in building railroads. The
following description of the new high
line project in the Kittitas, Yakima
and Benton counties of Washington.
shows feats are being performed in
the course of development of our des-
ert lands into gardens of wealth.
The map shows the Kittitas high
line continued into valleys of the Va
kima high line by means of a tunnel
in Kittitas county, which energies i'm
The Squaw creek section and waters
all the available land there. The
canal is then continued by means Of
a tunnel into the Selah, where it wa
ters a number of acres in the east
ern portion of that valley, which are
above any project now in operation.
1t then cuts through the hills north
of North Yakima into the Mckee
country and there divides. The main
canal tunnels the Rattlesnake hills
and waters the high lands to a point
considerably beyond Kiona. The lat
eral branches to the east and carries
water into Blackjack country, and at
the point of the drop in the main eau
al it is proposed to develop sufficient
power to furnish water from the Col
umbia river for the greater part OF
the Benton project. AT many of the
points along the canal, also, it has
been proved feasible to pump water
upon the lands above it.
Forty thousand additional acres OF
land are to be watered by the high
line as a result of lining the canal
with cement. The full storage system
of the canal, which includes the res
ervoirs at Keechelus, Kachess, Gle,
Elum, Dumping lake and McAllisters
Meadow, will be used to water the
many thousand acres in addition to
those in the Kittitas high line and
Benton projects, as originally propos-
ed by the government.
