IRRIGATE IN VARIOUS WAYS
Current Motors Used to Force Water
From Rapidly Moving Rivers
Other Pumps on Barqes.

Irrigation az practiced by the an.
clients and in the early days of it's ex-
p~loitation In this country was purely
a matter of gravity. Though most of
the government irrigation projects are
based upon the gravity principle there
are numerous successful irrigation
districts where various other forces
are employed.
The government has a pumping
plant on the Williston project in
North Dakota in which the pumps are
located upon barges on of the
varying heights of water in the Mis-
souri, river. Connection Is made to
the canals along the shore by fiexi-
BILE pipes.
IN the only government irrigation
project in Kansas water is obtained
by pumping from twenty-three wells,
the pumps being driven from a central
power station. In certain instances
on other projects water is pumped to
higher benches from canals which are
filled by gravity and which supply a
lower portion Of the irrigated tract by
gravity.
In New Mexico and a part Of west
Texas the water supply is from wells,
some freely flowing artesian and some
from which water has to be pumped.
In Arizona, on n of the government
projects. use is made of a large wheel
to elevate water from low line" to
high line" canals
Water distribution Is effected in
various ways. Generally the water
flows by gravity in open canals and
bitches; sometimes in pipes under
ground with hydrants at intervals dis
charging into bitches; sometimes for
truck gardens and the like. in overhead
sprinkler pipes. One system resembles
the rotating lawn sprinkler on a large
and numerous scale.

COMBATING LICE IN CHICKS

They are to be found stationary on
the chickens head. above the beak
and eyes. and in a few days when they
get more plentiful. are to be found

A simple and effective treatment
adopted by the government station in
New South Wales is to place a small
quantity of olive oil in a sauce and

best to annoint all chickens with the
oil immediately after they are
hatched. such being a sure preventive

SOME MISTAKES IN POULTRY
Too Many Beginners Start on Too
Large ScaIe-Moet Common Err
ror Is Learning Too Fast"

1t Is well for TIE beginner to adopt
the advice Of men who are veterans
in the service, in order that they may
avoid many of the stumbling blocks
says the Poultry Journal
Too many novices start on toe
large a scale. They are not content
to begin at the bottom round Of the
ladder and gradually climb to the
top. That is too slow for them. II
blessed with sufficient capital they are
pretty sure to start on a large scale
Without experience, is 1t any wonder
that they do not succeed?"
But this is not the only cause Of
failure with the beginner. The 9th
ers might briefly be stated as hav
ing too much land; buildings too scat
tered. entailing too much unnecessary
labor; the breed or breeds selected
not being suitable for the purpose
intended; house not built upor
the sanitary plan; too much chang
ing of the bill of fare; unmindful Of
small details; harboring too much un
profitable stock; ~carelessness in car
ing for ailing birds; relying toe
much on hired help, and learning toe
fast.
1t is a waste Of money to buy toe
much land. From s to 10 acres is sui
ficient for the largest kind of plant
A general mistake is the continual
changing Of the bill of fare. There
should be n system of feeding and
thai regularly followed. The bill OF
fare should contain the greatest va.
riety possible, but the system should
not be changed. New articles of food
should not be given to the exclusion
OF others until the fowls have had q
chance to become acquainted with
them. All additions or changes
should be gradually made. II the
fowls are doing we'll on what they
are getting. nc change should be
made at all.
Probably the most common error Is
learning too fast" 1t is a note
worthy fact that, as a rule, by the
close Of the first year the beginner
forms the opinion that he knows IL
all. Thirty years spent in the poul.
try yard has taught the writer that
he has much yet to learn. There is
always something new turning up.
The wise man reads, studies, prac.
tees and investigates, thus daily add.
ing to his store of knowledge.

INJURY BY DETERMINATION
Costs More to Get Water out Of IrrA

to Get lt In.

When once the habit is formed"

lows"
This is all too true, and explains
why dry farming. where the subsoil IL
sufficiently moist, is in 50 many places
showing results almost as good, and
occasionally better, than over-irriga-
ed soils alongside them.
Extensive travel and observation in
the great irrigated sections Of Cali
fornia. Washington. Colorado and
Montana has convinced us that where
the country is at all level, the old say
Ing is true. that in time, ut takes
more money to get the water out of
an irrigated country than 1t does to
get 1t into It," When we were in
Fresno. California. last, the people Of
that country were holding public dis
cussions on how best to relieve It
from the ruinous sub-irrigation which
shows up In lakes in some spots. and
In malaria or ruined vineyards and
In others. It was estimated
by some who were advocating appeal
Ing to The government for aid, that it
would take several millions of dollars
to rid that and an adjoining county of
surplus water.
We believe that dry farming meth
obs can be used in connection with ir.
rigat1on. even in the more level and
slow draining sections so that most
OF the evils of over-irrigation can be
avoided; and We believe, too, that the
widespread interest in dry farming ia
going to do much along this line.
1t seems to us that with care. to
apply only the amount of water need
ed at the time, too little rather than
too much, followed by liberal tillage.
there should be no more danger of
souring, alkaling or otherwise water
logging the land than in sections
where there is ample rainfall. But
the temptation to put on too much wa
ter, particularly by the beginner in
irrigation, seems almost irresistible.
and all newly irrigated sections pay
little attention to these warnings. til
cknes or serious loss stares them
In the face, and then the cost of rem
edying is great.

Cutting Corn for suaoe.

The composition of corn undergoee
rapid changes from the tasseling pc.
riOd until maturity. The dry matter
shows an increase Of one and three.
6fths tons per acre from the time the
corn is In tassel until the kernels are
dented. Tasseled corn has only a
NTH as much dry matter as mature
corn. It is owing to such changes
that corn must be cut at the proper
stage II 1t is to make the best silage.
II cut too green. the silage will sour
more easily and Will not possess the
fullest food value. Immature corn is
often the cause Of the complaints that
silage makes undesirable milk. II cut
90 ripe. the desired s~ucculence is lost.
The proper stage for cutting is when
the lower leaves have commenced to
fire and brown, yet when the greater
part Of the leaves are still green. The
kernels should be out OF the milk

WASTE in lRRlGATlNG
Extensive swamps Are Being
Created In Some Sections.
irrigation Of Crops 10 New Science,
and It 10 Logical That Perfection
10 Not Being Reached In its
Application.

In many sections Of the irrigated
districts extensive swamps are being
created by the excessive use Of water.
Unless some effective measure is pro
mulgated to check this excessive use
OF water a loss which can hardly be
estimated Is sure to result. This com
mon mistake can be corrected by al
lucrative state or national government
restriction Of the use of water In ir-
rigation.
The irrigation of crops is a new sci
ence, and it Is logical that perfection
has not been approached In it's prac-
teal application. The excessive use
Of water is a natural tendency under
the conditions which have developed
this science. The farmer does not at
tempt to determine the amount of
moisture his land carries under nor
NAL conditions, nor what degree of
moisture a certain crop requires. The
lei OF science have demonstrated
b an excess yer 20 per cent. is det-
rimental to almost all crops. This ex-
Q 9 OF moisture excludes the air from
the soil and at the same time, car
ries OF the fertility Of the soil and
lmpoverishes the land permanently.
II the best results in physical condi-
ton and fertility of the soil are Sc
cured there can be no waste of irri-
cation by a sub or surface flow from
the field. The system of irrigation
which creates swamp conditions not
only wastes the water but wastes the
fertility Of the land that is being irri-
gated. This double waste should be
effectively stopped by the authority
Of law.
While we are expanding millions of
dollars In redeeming plants we are
making extensive swamps by an ex-
travagant waste of water. When land
Is correctly irrigated there can be no
waste of water to overflow or make
swamps by capillary flow. These new
swamps are presenting serious engi-
neering problems of drainage. The re-
lease OF water from subterranean ba-
sins is expensive and uncertain. The
drainage proposition can be simplified
by an effective control of the water
which is supplied at such a great ex-
pense, and which Is in demand for the
redemption of excessive desert areas.
1t will be a blessing to the land own
er who is constantly putting the nat
nral mineral fertilizers Of his soil
into solution and sending it to the
swamps and the so-called alkali beds
to become a menace and a waste.
Any restrictive measur which could
be enforced to prevent the excessive
ase of water would be forth millions
10 the farm owners That same meas
IRE would redeem the millions of
iollars worth of land now in swamp
wastes.
Unless the irrigator can be induced
or compelled to retain all the waste
water on his land the well-drained
land will become an Impoverished
waste, and the land into and upon
which this water flows will become
worthless alkali beds.
The excessive user OF water-and
his name is legion-should be saved
from self destruction; and his neigh
Dor should be protected.
