IRRIGATION IN SWITZERLAND
Canals Of insignificant Size But Built
Under Difficulties Have Been Used
for Years.

Irrigation canals of Insignificant
size. but built under great difficulties.
have been used for many years in the
valley of Zermatt. Switzerland. for
the fertilization of tho soil rather than
for the watering Of the fields
The valley lies at an elevation OF
nearly five thousand feet above sea
level, near the famous Natterhorn.
and the tanks OF the high peaks are
covered with glaciers. The water
which flows from these glaciers into
the Visp river and its tributaries is
made almost milk white by a fine sedi-
ment ground from tho rock by tho
glaciers. and It is this sediment that
the water disposes over the land as
fertilizer.
The canals into which water Is d.
verified from the stream by means OF
crude wooden troughs at the head OF
some fall or rapids. run along embank-
ments and are temporarily damned
by means of fat stones at points
where It is desired that the water
overflow into tho fields.
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1911-03-15

Fattenins birds should always re.
ceive soft feed. As they have no ex.
ercise they require a feed that can
be quickly and easily digested. says
tho United States department Of agri.
culture. Tho following mixture is fed
at the New York establishment re-
ferred to under the description of the
examining machine: 100 pounds finely
ground barley. 100 pounds finely
ground corn. 100 pounds finely ground
oats with bulls sifted out). to which
mixture is added ten per cent. OF
beef scraps. Buttermilk or skim milk
is used for mixing. the former being
preferred. A little salt is sometimes
added. The birds are fed twice a day
at intervals OF IL hours. and are
crammed for about three weeks. 1t
is important that the intervals be-
tween the feelings should be as near
ly equal as possible.
Another ration may be made as
follows: 100 pounds ground oats. 100
pounds ground corn. so pounds flour.
four pounds tallow.

BRIDGE OVER DITCH
Concrete May Be Used for Small
Bridges.
Prof. Parshali Of Colorado Agrieui'
turai College Describes Excellent
Plan for Crossing Laterals In IT.
rIoation District.

By r. L. PARsHALL. Colorado Asri-
cultural College)
In our irrigated districts of the
west we find many small bitches
and laterals on the farm. and 1t is
always necessary to cross these with
driveways at frequent intervals.
When a small. permanent bridge is
required, the following ideas may
be used. providing the conditions are
satisfactory.
For crossing where the depth of
the ditch is not great and the span
not over ~ or IA feet, we may pro-
coed as follows:
After the irrigation season has
closed. and before the cold weather
sets in. ill the lateral at the cross
ing with gravel or sand and lamp
1t down comparatively solid. The
under side of the bridge, and should
be carefully rounded of 80 as to
form an arch of the concrete with Its
center about IL to 15 inches higher
than the ends or the abutments. for
q span of IL to IA feet. Clay or
loan may be used for the filing.
but gravel or sand can be taken out
much more readily than the former.
For a span of IL feet and a bridge
ten feet wide. we may say. for aver
age conditions, that a trench ten feet
long and six or eight inches wide
will. when dug deep enough to firm
ground, answer for the foundation.
1t may be possible to use some Of
this waste material from the ex-
cavation to fill in the ditch.
Drive stakes at suitable points to
hold the planks that are to form the
sides of the bridge. The finished
thickness OF the center of the arch
need not be over four inches. When
all the forms are In place. mix your
concrete in about the following pro-
portions: Ono part Portland ce-
ment. two parts clean sand. and
four parts gravel. Make the abut-
ments or foundations first by filling
the trenches with concrete. Now.
spread the concrete over the gravel.
fill to a depth of about two inches:
upon this soft mass. before the con-
crete sets. place the steel reinforcing
bars, which should be about three
eighths OF an inch in diameter. and
placed eight inches apart longitudinal
ly. These rods should be bent to
agree with the curve Of the arch. After
the rods. which should be long
enough TO reach the foundation abut-
ments. are in place. the remaining
concrete should be placed and well
tnmped. Smooth of tho top sur
face with a straight edge. and when
completed. the center OF the arch
should be about four inches thick
and the shoulders at the abutments
about six inches in thickness. Cover
now with a few inches Of earth to
prevent the concrete from drying out
too rapidly. In two weeks time the
structure will be ready for use. The
sand. gravel Of earth filling may be
removed at any time after "a hours.

He said the quartz was given to him by widow.
Her husband had been accidentally killed short

him that the quartz came from a vein Lake

losing strength with the farmers. Wise men in
the ministry looked around to see what could be
done The farmers in the clay belt had been
clamoring for a railroad. The ministry decided
that It would be good politics to give It to them.
So it decided to build railroad from North

with the great transcontinental line. under con-

IRRIGATION IN WEST KANSAS
II Was 1895 Before State Aid Was As
sured, Giving Definite Start for
Undertakina.

So far as rainfall is concerned Kan
sas is divided from east to west into
three parts. Only the western third
has much use for irrigation. The
first headway made toward placing
that part under irrigation was in 1890.
A convention was held at Great Bend
that year and a state organization eff
fected whose purpose was to study the
needs and aid in the development of
the country. But this hopeful effort
did not get much beyond its beginning.
1t was not until 1895 that a definite
start was made Then the legisla-
plants. usually OF the windmill type.
ture created a board of irrigation and
appropriated $4,000 for its work. In
1896 this board did its frst work. and
this date can well mark the start OF
Kansas Irrigation.
Throughout the humid and semi-arid
districts there Is an unlimited supply
of water close TO the surface of the
earth; moreover. there is little access
to large streams. so irrigation has
been largely confined to pumping
The following cities, especially. are
centers for this type: Garden City.
Ingles. Cimarron, Dodge City. Kinsley.
Great Bend and Hutchinson.
In general. the most important points
to note in connection with Irrigation
in the western third OF the state are:
The cost of windmill plant will BIO
from 500 to $3.50. according to the size
of the pump used; the cost of the reser-
votr will he aboy, {eO mora CbaIlow
wells pay better. as the flow usually
is much greater. In digging the well
1t does not pay to go below the shale.
for then water cannot be found until
depth of at least $50 feet is reached.
