IRRIGATION ENGINEERING
Use of Burlap on the
Irritation Lateral

A newly made lateral, with
loose earth embankment on the
lower side, is very easily damaged
should the water be turned out
over the soft banks successfully.
Water may be diverted over these
loose earth entertainments if a
piece of burlap or canvas is made
fast to one end on the inside OF
the lateral and the other end to
fall outside. This will serve to
protect the banks and, as the
water is flowing out, its weight
will hold the burlap in place.
If your lateral seems to cut bad
ly in the bottom at any place, you
may be able greatly to reduce
this by taking burlap and lining
the bottom and sides. The burlap
can best be held in place by sew
eral slender stakes driven in the
/ bottom and sides of the lateral.
If your embanlment slips out
causing break, this may be SUI
cessfully closed by using small
burlap sacks filled with earth
and laid in such a manner as to
stop the flow of the water, If
there is not too much water flow
ing, the break may be stopped.

ONLY ONE SURVEY
NOW REQUIRED

Settlers on National Forests un
der Act of June IL, 1906, will no
longer have to pay for Il survey,
as they have had to in the past
on unsurveyed lands, when the
claim goes to patent. This re-
lieves many settlers under the
act, commonly known as the For
est Homestead Law, from bur
densome expense. Relief from
this burden has been brought
about by an agreement between
the secretary of the interior and
the secretary of agriculture,
whereby surveys made by employ
es of the forest service will be
under the supervision of the
surveyor general so that they
can be accepted by the general
land office as final.
Hitherto it has been necessary
to make two surveys. Under the
terms of the Forest Homestead
law national forest land cannot be
opened to settlement unless the
secretary of agriculture has rec
commended to the secretary of the
interior that it be listed for set
Element; and listing is not posi-
BILE until survey has been made.
The secretary of agriculture has
no authority to list any Land un-
less an examination has shown
that the land is more suitable
for agriculture than for forest
purposes. So when the land is
applied for, employees of the de-
partment of agriculture are sent
to ascertain its character, and at
thu same time make a survey of
it by metes and bounds if sur
vey is necessary.
Thin survey, however, could not
be accepted by the land depart
ment as a basis for patent, be-
cause only surveys under the sup
ervision of the surveyor general
can, under the law, be accepted
as a basis for passing title. In
consequence, under the procedure
provided for when patent is sought
to unsurveyed lands, the settler
on land within a national forest
has had to pay for a second sur
vey. This has been felt to be es-
pecially hard because it has
subjected settlers on national
forests to an expense which set
tiers on surveyed public lands do
not have to bear Since it merely
duplicates the work of the first
survey there seems to be no reason
why this first survey might not
answer both for listing the land
and for patcnting it.
The survey for listing made by
forest officers, has always been
without expense to the prospec-
tive homesteader. Under the
new arrangement the field eX-

or general. This will remove one
of the greatest objections to the
working of the Forest Homestead
law. The officials of both the
department of agriculture ano
the department of the inter
Tor are pleased that the way has
been found, through co-opera
ton in the surveys, to simplify
the procedure, cut out a duplica
ton of the work, and lessen tht
cost of settling upon agricultural
lands within national forests.

Il Was Clumsy Machine and Prae-
tieally Useless.
Most persons will be surprised to
learn that the typewriting machine is
not, as they imagine, a distinctly mod
ern invention. So loLg ago as 1714 a
patent was taken out in England by
Henry Mill for "a machine for i'm
pressing letters singly and progressive
~ as in writing, whereby all writings
may be engrossed in paper SO exact as
not to be distinguished from print"
Ills machine was, however, a clumsy
one aud practically useless. 1t was
not until over century later Q829)
that anything more in this line was
attempted. Then the first American
typewriter, called n ''typographer," was
patented by w. a. Burt.
In 1923 machine was produced In
France having n separate key lever
for each letter, and between the years
1910 and 1860 Sir Charles MILESTONE
invented several machines which Are

Sick kidneys weaken the
body through the continual
drainage Of life-giving albu-
men from the blood into the
substitution of poisonous uric
acid that goes broadcast
through the system, sowing the
seeds of disease. Loss of albu-
men cause weakness, languor,
