DIX TAKES A HAND
Makes Statement About New
York Senatorial Situation.
WANTS TO DROP sHEEHAN
Addresses Letter to Democratic Mem
bers Telling Them to Vote as
Conscience Dictates.
WANTS TO DROP SHEEHAN

NEW YORK. March "A statement
from Gov. John A. Dix on the senatorial
situation. in which he says that events
have demonstrated the impossibiiity OF
his (Sheehan's) election" and advising
the democratic members of the legislature
immediately to proceed in the Joint as
semby to ballot as your conscience ana
the will Of your constituents may die
tate" was received and made public here
last night
The statement is addressed to the dem
ocratic members of the legislature, and
in it the governor tells of his publicly
announced attitude that he would not
interfere with the legislature in the
choice of a senator, and how he has
steadfastly adhered to that position.
But" he continues, 1.-The present UNI
precedented and divided condition of the
party's councils in regard to the choice
of a senator are preventing the exercise
of the constitutional duty which rests
upon the Legislature" and he therefore
now feels that he may properly advise
the legislature.
Leaves It Up to Members.
when Mr.. Sheehan became the choice
Of the caucus l felt that he was entitled,
limits of time. to the fullest opportunity
to convince the dissenting members OF
the party and the legislature that his
candidacy was for the best interests OF
the party as whole.
But events have since demonstrated
the impossibility of his election. and
therefore ! do not believe that his can
didacy should he further continued. Ow-
ing to the present situation. we are not
redeemng in full the pledges made to the
people.
II therefore deem it my duty to advise
that you Immediately proceed in the joint
session of the legislature to ballot as
your conscience and the Will OF your
constituents may dictate for the election
of United States senator whose choice
will unite the democratic party.
Not to Hold Second Caucus.
After Mr.. Sheehan suggested another
caucus on the senatorial situation. the
governor expressed the hope that way
out of the difficulty might be reached. Eff
forts were made to bring about a second
caucus, but Charles F. Murphy, the Tam
many leader, is said to have looked upon
the plan with disfavor, and the leaders.
after discussing the situation, announced
that no caucus would be held. Whether
the statement will cause him to change
his mind could not be learned last night.
Neither Mr. Murphy nor Mr.. Sheehan

SCREENS AND POINTS
Must Be Used in Thick Sand and
Gravel Beds.
In Digging Wells for Irrigation Screens
Should Not Be Ordered More Than
Ten Feet in Length-EasIer
to Handle.

Screens or slotted points must be
used In sand or gravel beds, especially
If the beds are thick ones. In very
thick beds two or more sections of
screen, one above the other, should be
used. Such screns are often made in
sections, so that they can be screwed
together on the spot. Completed
screens are now regularly made by the
well point manufacturers in consider
able lengths, reaching to 20 feet or a
full pipe length. The small size points
are made from standard wrought pipe,
In which holes have been punched,
covered with brass wire cloth and per-
forated brass jacket to protect the
cloth. The largest we'll point machines
do not, as rule, handle over 1O-inch
pipe. II larger than this, holes must
be drilled, which increases cost rap
idly. For convenience in handling,
shipping and placing, screens should
not be ordered over ten feet in length.
This length Is preferred by the trade,
says the Pumps and Supplies.
If a single screen will not furnish
water enough, or If the water bearing
strata Is not deep enough, two or more
screen points may be sunk independ-
ent Of each other and far enough apart
so that they will not interfere or rob
one another. These screens may then
be connected to q common suction
pipe or arranged to drain into COM
mon central well. Screen points, as a
rule, should never be less than two
thirds the diameter of the cylinder,
and for work of this character it is al
ways better If they are as large as the
cylinder; the more serene surface the
morew ater will come through.
1t has been found that the coarsest
sand and gravel is frequently at the
bottom of the water-bearing strata;
hence 1t Is important that the screen
point should reach into the bed of this
coarse material. 1t is we'll understood
that water flows more freely through
the coarse sand and gravel and that
the screen will not clog up. Then, too,
deep driving protects the we'll against
lowering of the water level by other
wells in the immediate vicinity, or on
the same vein some distance away. In
river bottoms, where water-b bearing
sand is sometimes found 100 feet or
more in thickness, 1t would not be
necessary to put screen point down
to the bottom Of the strata; but close
attention should be given, however, in
such case to the relative coarseness of
the sand or gravel in which the screen
point Is lodged. Under no circum-
stances should 1t be set in anything
but the coarsest.
The top of the screen point in any
case should be some distance below
the water level. The water level will
be, Of course, the height to which the
water rises In the well, but on being
pumped this level may drop-it gen
orally does Science it is necessary
to put the screen so low that it will be
below the water line even when sup
plying the greatest amount of water
it can furnish. By keeping the screen
sufficiently low, any danger from the
admission of air will be avoided.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The chillier the pig, the thinner the
ham.
Build floors of fattening pens on an
incline.
Be kind but firm with the colts and
tie them with strong halters.
Irregularity in time of feeding and
quantity will cause indigestion.
An animal that is sluggish and
clumsy Is not in perfect condition.
The animal with broad and deep
fore quarters has a good constitution.
Encourage exercise by placing feed
some distance from the sheds on fine
days.
portant item for keeping a flock
healthy.
Be sure that the sheep barn has a
tight roof, a dry floor, good ventilation
and no drafts.
The boar of mixed and unknown
breeding is to be summed as snare
and delusion.
An ignorant, ill-tempered, loud
voiced man should never be tolerated
in any stable.
Hold on to some of the clover for
spring feeding. 1t is great when the
sheep get tired of timothy.
The dished face and slightly droop-
ing ear are said to be signs of an easy
keeper and a contented disposition.
We don't need a stove in the barn
or hog house, but those buildings
should be tight, comfortable and free
from drafts.
The larger pigs are always at the
spout end of the trough, and because
they are always at the spout end they
are the larger.
A little shelled corn mixed in with
the ground feed you give your horses
will help to keep them from swallow
ing their food too fast.
To fatten western lambs or yearling
wethers, they must never be allowed
to go hungry. Give all they will eat
up clean every day.
The herd which shows uniformity
of breeding and contains animals
with good forms and constitutions is
q safe one from which to select breed
ers.
It is cheaper to feed sheep with
bran at 500 per ton than all corn at
40 or 80 cents. A good combination
is about one part bran to three parts
corn by weight

from Egypt so far as practical meth
DDS are concerned The reasons for
this are not obscure. One is the lack
of inventive and mechanical skill on
the part of the farmer. Here in this
country every implement used in
agriculture has been subject to con-
stant changes and improvements; the
Egyptian still uses the crooked stick
for plow and beats out his corn as
did his ancestors in the time of
Pharaoh. In this country we have
already evolved machinery for the
construction of canals, building Of lat
erals and cleaning out and enlarging
of bitches; in Egypt many canals are
cleaned by throwing the mud out by
hand. The lessons of Egypt, there
fore, so far as irrigation practice is
concerned, are of negative value.
There is another reason why this is
so. 1rrigators in Egypt are paid Is
cents a day. Their methods are i'm
possible only with this low wage rate.
An immense modern steam pumping
plant may be operated alongside of
a shaduf, and the native, when inter
viewed, will point with pride to the
superior machine he employs.

The Human Body.

Washington.-A man will die for
want of air in five minutes, for want of
sleep in ten days, for want of water in
a week. Hunger is slow to kill. When
one falls asleep, the surrender of
sight, taste, smell, hearing and touch
is necessary. The sense of touch is
the lightest sleeper and most easily
awakened; hearing comes next. then
sight, while sluggard taste and smell
last. The human body is an epitome
in nature of all mechanics, all hydraul-
les, all architecture, all machinery, of
every kind. There are more than 80
mechanical movements known today,
and all these are but notifications of

IRRIGATION ROAD TO RICHES
1t Is Magic Key for Unlocking Won
drous Wealth to Soil TiIIer-
lnsures Crop.

Irrigation is the magic key for un-
locking wondrous riches to the soil
tiller, writes William R. Draper in an
exchange. 1t is the surest crop insur-
ance. He who sows must also reap
bountifully. Caprices of the elements
cannot injure those who secure their
rainfall from irrigation canals In
such districts wet seasons are un-
known. The dry, sunshiny climate of
an irrigation district means health
full conditions to all.
There are seventy or more govern
ment and private irrigation districts
in the west. The United States recla-
nation service is now spending mil.
lions Of dollars every year in conquer
ing mountain streams, making them
pour their waters of wealth upon semi
arid land, stinted by insufficient pre-
cipitation otherwise blessed by deep,
rich soil and ideal growing seasons.
The farm wealth of this country
has already been increased several
billion dollars through the reclama-
tion work Of five years, and since crop
returns from the newly developed ir-
rigation districts have exceeded even
the dreams Of the most optimistic
reclamation advocates, this new and
great irrigation work naturally gath
ers friends and force.
1t will transform the waste places
of our country into garden spots. The
wonder workers back Of this new
wealth-giving department Of our gov
ernment are resourceful and inde-
fatigable. So those who seek out in
the west and southwest opportunities
in land investment must not overlook
irrigable lands.

Properly Balanced Food.

Even silage from mature corn is not
a properly balanced food, and clover
or alfalfa hay and little bran should
be fed with 1t. Alfalfa hay is better
than clover to feed with corn silage,
and with 1t 1t is possible to omit the
bran. Alfalfa is a wonderful plant,
and some one Of the varieties will
grow almost anywhere In the United
States, while 1t is nearly drought
proof. Every dairyman who has not
done so already should try it in
small way; If he can make one acre
a success he can then try a larger
field. Corn is our other drought re-
sisting crop, and If the moisture in the
ground be conserved by about two
inches of loose fine dirt mulch, it is
surprising how little rain is required
to make a good crop. In times of
drought and when the corn has grown
too tall for the two-horse cultivator.
a fine tooth single walking cultivator
will go far toward irrigating the fields.

Ended the Controversy.

On the steeple of an old Universal
is :hurch in Bath, Me-, there is a
wooden figure of an angel. 1t is not
a remarkably fine specimen of art, and
has always been somewhat laughed
about, especially because of its high
heeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer re-
calls the story that former pastor Of
the North Congregational church once
accosted a devoted Universalist with
the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you
ever see an angel with high-heeled
shoes on it's feet?" why, no." an
swered Mr.. Raymond, Il can't say that
l ever did; but did you ever see one

YOUNG Ace Pensions,

Young-age pensions! Why not? Tt

other good things are, as a rule, post

complementary scheme of young-age
pensions. He would start by pension

that three had previously been born

their duty and deserving we'll of the

Some large flockowners say that
when they shear closely they save so
much more wool, an eighth of an inch
or so on every sheep. AS a matter of
fact the growth Of wool is about so
much each year, and If one gets an
eighth Of an inch more this year, he
gets just that eighth inch less next
So the only time when it would make
a difference would be when man
was going to sell his sheep before an
