IRRIGATION.

A New York newspaper, with Di-
rector Newell's report for text, dis
cusses irrigation, and concludes from
it that farming on an irrigated farm
is no holiday.
A great many people have found
that out by actual experience. A great
many people can never acquire the
gift of successful irrigation. 1t is like
proof-reading, or the Scotchman's sue
cess as a drinker-a gift. A farmer
may hire twenty men before he can
get one who can apply water 20 land
successfully, evenly and economic
ally.
Then there is everything in the to-
geography of the farm and the charac-
ter of the plant to be cultivated. The
advantages are that the farmer may
plough when he pleases, not waiting
for rain, may harvest his whole crop
generally without watching the clouds
and in an ever-so-dry year can almost
certainly count on fair crop-bar-
ring the weevil, the wire worm, the
locust and grasshOpper.
Then the climate has much to do
with it. Five acres planted to oran-
ges, or peaches. or apricots. or either
of two or three other fruits, in south
ern California or Arizona, is liable to
make a poor man rich in a single
year
But irrigation does not do away
with work on a farm; it only helps
to better regulate the work and to
give life to arid soils.
1t was through irrigation that 1t
was possible to feed the people of
Babylon and Ninevah when the fast
est transportation was by camels.
But then the average person in those
days did not have roast beef for din
ner or champagne cocktails before
breakfast
