Small Wafer irrigation

In figuring the serviceability and
cost of an electric pumping pant let
it be assumed that water for irrigation
is to be supplied at the rate of 275
deep This is the average economical
capacity for No. centrifugal pump
and the work requires about OF morse
power for each foot in height to which
the water has to be raised, or 4 horse
power for the total lift. In twenty
four hours this pump will furnish
water to cover about l 1-3 acres to a
depth of / foot, or 4 acres can be given
4-inch irrigation in twenty-four
hours. Running continuously, this
plant will furnish so acre-feet of wa
ter per month. Since the additional
cost is very little, it is good economy
to provide a large factor of safety by
using a 5-horsepower motor. Should
the lift be increased by lowering the
surface of the water in the well, there
would still be power capacity to do the
work without danger to the machin-
cry.
Since it is often inconvenient 80 ir-
rigate at night, the pump could be
operated but twelve hours each day
unless some means were provided for
the storage of the water pumped at
night This will amount to about 3d.
600 cubic feet of water, ana would re-
quire a reservoir 80 feet square, with
an average depth of about 4 feet OF
water The water stored during the
night would enable the irrigator to
run a much larger head than could be
possible with direct discharge of the
pump. Ravines or hillsides often pro-
vide excellent natural reservoir facil-
tiles, but even on level ground such a
reservoir could be constructed at a
small cost

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. L.
Especial During 1909 the silver min
ing industry suffered from low market
prices for the metal and for copper and
lead. from whose ores nearly so per
cent of the annual production of silver
is recovered. The average price of sill
yer in 1908 was SO cents per fine ounce
but it declined in 1909 to so cents, or
25 cents below the average for the last
30 vears-a value not sufficiently at
tractive to justify the mining, underor-
binary conditions, of loW-grade silver
ores Notwithstanding the low mar
ket prices of lead and "copper" however,
tn output of these metals was greater
in 1899 than in any previous year, and
it was chiefly for this reason, more
in copper output, that the production
of silver was maintained at about the
same figures as in 1908, and at about
$500, 900 fine ounces above the average
output for the last thirty years, even
though the value was over $10,000,00O
less than the average for this period.
The preliminary figures of the direc-
tor of the mint give an estimated pro-
duction in the United States in 1909 Of
SO $40 900 fine ounces of silver, valued
at $2S,O1O,100. This indicates an in
crease of 1,40S, 200 fine ounces in guam
tity but a decline of $4O,5O0 in valns
from the figures for 1908.
The most notable increases of pro-
duction in 1909, as compared with 1908,
were in Montana, Utah and Arizona,
which are large copper producers, and
where the smelling industries were
active in 1909 The indicated
increases are 1,643,S0O fine ounces in
1,0S3,100 fine ounces nj Utah,
and 732,2O0 fine ounces in Arizona. In
Colorado there was little profit in min
ing and smelling low -grade ores, and
a heavy decrease of 1,056,600 fine
ounces, or about 10 per cent of the
output of 1908, is indicated. In both
Idaho and Nevada decreased output is
indicated, amounting to more than

DAMAGE SUITS
ARE BROUGHT
@
ACTION FOR RECOVERY OF $780,
600 BROUGHT BY DR.. HYDE,
SWOPE PHYSICIAN.
SHOW KANSAS
CITY FAMILY DIED OF
POISONING.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 31-The filing
of damage suits by Dr. B. c. Hyde,
the Swope family physician, against
an attorney and two physicians con-
nected with the investigation of the
deaths of Colonel Thomas H. and
Chrisman Swope, marked his active
entrance into the case here today. The
suits are for sums aggregating $780,
00e
Following the filing of the suits,
statements were issued by DR.. Hyde
and his wife, who was a niece of
Colonel Swope and a sister of Chris
man Swope, regarding the deaths of
the two men. Mrs. Hyde expressed
absolute confidence in her husband.
The first suit filed was against At
torney John H. Paxton, executor of the
SWope estate, and who has been
prominent in the inquiry. Slander is
alleged. DR.. Hyde charges that Mr.
Paxton openly declared the physician
had poisoned Thomas H. and Chris
man Swope, causing their deaths. Ac-
tual damages of $4,000 and punitive
damages of $4,000 are asked in this
suit Mr.. Paxton, DR.. Frank J. Hall,
bacteriologist, and DR.. Edward l..
Stewart are named as defendants in
the second suit, which is for 100000.
Mr.. Hyde alleges that these men
made defamatOry statements regard
ing him in connection with the SwOpe
deaths.
The suits were filed in Independ
ence, Mo, shortly after noon today.
Dr. Hyde explained that one reason
why he brought the suits was to have
an opportunity of demonstrating be-
yOnd a doubt that all rumOrs concern
ing him in connection with the mys-
ferrous deaths were false.
strychnine Causes Death.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Strychnine was
found throughout the viscera of the
late Colonel Thomas H Swope, the
Kansas City millionaire, according to
report made by Doctors Walter S.
Haines, Ludwig Hektoen and Victor
c. Vaughn, to John G. Paxton, executor
of the SwOpe estate here today.
The same poison is also believed to
have been found in the liver of Chris
man SWOpe, a nephew of Colonel
Swope, but it was announced that the
examination of his organs had not
been completed to the satisfaction of
the Psychologists and would be con-
tinued. Mr.. Paxton said that the
criminal prosecution would follow
their return home.

Hoppe Makes Claim

PITTSBURG, Jan. 31.-Angered by
the alleged refusal of George Sutton,
the 1871 balk line billiard champion,
to live up to an agreement to play a
match, Willie Hoppe tonight formally
claimed the 1871 balk line champion

Hoppe asserts that Sutton agreed to
defend the title in Chicago in March.
According to Hoppe, they were to play
500 points night, but Sutton now

A spring may be made to yield
large revenue to the western farmer
or stockman if the flow is stored in
an earthen reservoir. When the dis
charge from a spring is small, it is
a waste of time and water TO apply it
directly to the soil; but when it is
allowed to accumulate for a week or
more in a reservoir, there may be
sufficient water to irrigate one or two
acres in a short time. Small storage
reservoirs may likewise be used to
good advantage to impound the storm
waters of small creeks or torrential
streams which flow for brief periods
and have dry channels the remainder
of the year In parts of the west
where water is scarce and valuable,
small supplies have been obtained
from The beds of dry streams, ravines
or other depressions by means of sub
merged dams and tunnels. Artesian
wells provide still another source for
! small supplies for either irrigation or
domestic purposes. Not infrequently
it happens that considerable coMmes
of water flow in steep channels Wal n
are from 25 to 100 feet or more below
the level or irrigable land Under
such conditions modern form of hy-
draulic ram may be profitably used.
hOIUnUnr
dug or bored, are the most common
source. Water collects in these and
is raised to the elevation desired by
means of windmills, animal power,
engines or various kinds, or electric
motors. Sometimes the water in
streams, lakes, canals and reservoirs
is below the level of fertile tracts of
land which it is desirable to irrigate,
and the same means is used to raise
il to the required height
A point worth mentioning in favor of
the small as compared with the large,
supply for irrigation, is the fact that
the former is more economically used.
1t is well known that when water is
both cheap and abundant large guam
titles are wasted, to the detriment of
the land and the lessening of profits
Small supplies cost much more per
unit of flow, but under careful cultiva
ton and irrigation yield larger .e
turns in proportion to the water used.
This is brought out clearly in TIE
case of a spring which was stored i'll
Montana. The flow was only 1 mi lers
inch, which represents the amount Of
water which will flow through an open
ing l inch square under a head OF
inches. This small flow produced in
on season products to the value Of
SAP. Without the irrigation merely
for grain growing the value of the
crop from same area would have been
less than 10 per cent of that sum.

Cleanliness and the Scalp

single day is surprising, especially
where one makes frequent use of rail-
road trains daily; the white bristles
are distinctly soiled, for the CRIME and
smoke penetrates to the skin
Here is the advantage of having
white bristles for then you know the
exact state of the hair and scalp.
An old linen kerchief or a very fine,
soft towel rubbed through the creas-
es on the scalp, especially around the
forehead and ears, removes that very
fine soil and perspiration which a
brush cannot reach. Precipitation
causes heavy, unpleasant odor when
not removed. A silk cloth pulled along
strands Of the hair imparts q beauti-
full sheen and lustre, besides cleaning
the hair as we'll.
Where the hair is inclined to be oily,
and where perspiration flows freely,
as in the case of women who spend
much time in the kitchen a shampoo
should be INDUCED in every two weeks.
For scalps that are dry and where cold
is easily taken in winter, a dry sham
poo is advised. Every bit of the pow
der or cornmeal must be removed, 9TH
erWise it will clog the pores Every
four or five weeks, however, the scalp
should have a thorough shampooing
with a mixture best suited to it's in
diVidual needs

One of the surest ways of promoting
and retaining the health and beauty
of the scalp and hair is by keeping
both clean.
This doubtless sounds simple enough
but experience proves that eternal
vigilance is imperative. In order to
combat the accumulation of soil and
impurities thrown out on the scalp,
besides the natural scaling OF the skin.
requires utmost precautiOn to prevent
them from playing hav e, which is
only possible when they are constant
~ removed.
CHECKING DANDRUFF
Women who complain of dandruff
and falling hair could easily remedy
these ills in many cases by keeping
the scalp free from foreign substan-
ces. Daily attention and care is posi-
lively essential.
All scalps, even healthy ones, are
predisposed to a little dandruff, which
is a natural product of the scalp, but
should be promptly removed, which
is only possible by daily brushing.
Dandruff checks the gs-5vth of the
hair by clinging tenaciously to the
skin about the roots. preventing all
the nourishment from reaching the
roots. The roots naturally become
weakened and in consequence the hair
falls out, becomes brittle, harsh, dull
and lifeless
A systematic brushing of the ha;r
every night before retiring will do
much toward keeping both the scalp
and hair in a wholesome condition,
The brushing in most cases removes
the dandruff and soil and stimulates
the oil glands. Where dandruff is
stubborn a fine tooth comb is advis-
able. but care should be taken thai
the skin beneath is not broken or rem
dered too sensitive. Where crusts
have formed these should be touched
with little vaseline to loosen them
and then remove in the morning
The choice of brushes is very i'm
portant Where the skin is tender a
brush should have soft. though medi-
um, stiff bristles: for others a hard.
stiff brush is required. especially by
those who have bushy, coarse hair.
