ION THE WATER WAGON"
A good and cheap system of
irrigation for Meade county.
There are various kinds, and
Ways to irrlgate land.
The plan here described for
Meade county is a late idea
gathered from experience here.
Irrigation is wonderful thing,
even in eastern states.
AS we have never gone to the
expense and trouble of asking
the government to establish a
system here for us, we must fig
ure out small, yet large system
ourselves.
We here describe our system,
hoping it will boom Eand build
up Meade county as good as any
Iowa county.
First you want one or two
good wells, if no water is to be
had otherwise.
One or two water wagons, the
tank made of zinc, ten or twelve
feet long, with the lid on the back
part to get the water into the
tank, say the tank is three or
four feet high. The horses
must be muzzled so they will
not bother the growing crops.
Now for fifty acres of corn,
when ground begins to need
water, two men go along with
hoes; make hole at each hill of
corn that will hold one-third of a
bucket of water. Just how long
it would take two men to GO over
fifty acres, l can't say, but you
need not wait for long dry spell
but water any time to be on the
safe side and secure a better
yield. You come along after the
holes are dug, with the water
wagon and fill the holes with
water. Unless a very dry time,
| hardly think it would be neces-
sary to fill the holes up with dirt
attempting the water in, but
even if you had to, it is astonish-
ing the amount of ground two
men can cover IN day. l have
tried it and know. Just how
often you would have to irrigate
the corn depends upon the sea-
son, but never be afraid of get
ting on too much water. We be-
lieve this the cheapest way to ir-
rigate here, Other systems
might be better but they would
cost more. Plant your wheat in
hills and irrigate the same as
corn. Trees, vegetables aud
everything the same way. We
have tried it and the scheme
works.

The British government has decided
to exclude the American meat packers
against whom prosecutions have been
instituted in the United States from
bidding for contracts for the supply of
meat to the British army and navy,
pending the settlement of the suits.
The decision of the government is due
to the opposition of labor and ad-

contracts given out by the War Office,
which had hitherto been secured by
America firms, are now expected to go

TERRIBLE WRECK ON CHICAGO,

RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRECK
HAS NOT BEEN DETER
MINED DEFINITELY.


Odessa, Minn.-Twelve persons were
killed and a score injured in col
llsion here when the second section
OF the Columbian Flyer, from the Pa
cific Coast, bound for st. Paul, on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road. crashed into the rear end of the
first section of that train.
The engine of the second section.
which was hauling special consign-
ment of silk. tore its way almost to
the middle of the sleeper on the rear
of the first section.
The sleeper, hurled forward by the
Impact, was stripped from the front
end by the diner, the next coach
ahead, almost to the point where the
engine had stopped its destructive
blowing. The rear of the diner and
the pilot of the engine thus almost
touched. Those who escaped death
were in this small clear space.
The sleeper did not leave the right
of way. nor was either car twisted. No
other cars suffered more than slight
damage. Their steel construction had
been put to supreme test and it was
demonstrated that even steel cars
may be telescopeJ.
Responsibility for the wreck has not
been determined definitely. but is said
to rest between the operator at Orion
Vile Junction. who. it is asserted.
should not have permitted the silk
train to enter the block in which there
was train: the operator who, 1t is
said, failed to lift the stop signal for
the flyer and the flagman of the flyer.
who, it is claimed. failed to protect
the rear of his train after it had
stopped at the block.
