But Mr.. Fry insisted upon water

This is about the first time that
Engineer Cooper has spoken in public

entirely extemporaneously and with

very lucid, accurate and interesting In

Dam viii Enrich Farmers,

But Mr.. Cooper made It very clear
that the construction Of the water
power Will greatly increase the bank
able assets of the farmers.
He said the material advantages to
the farmer within score OF miles of
the Mississippi river along here are
certain and are compelled by all
works as big as this. The dam is sure
to be of benefit both material and
mental, and neither should be over
looked
Then he vent into some OF the
special means and methods through
which the farmer will receive the
material and financial benefits.

somewhat to make them, because
they would be sneered at by neople OF
little experience or study of previous
water power installations; and the
other preface that this estimate is
based upon study of power and
population not only in America, but
all over the world
He opined that it was hardly neces-
sary to point out in detail that the
farmers along this stretch of river and
back for many miles would receive
the greatest benefit from this great
increase in population.
He did mention the lack OF ratio
between Increase of population and
lack of increase of land area and said
that as time advances the farmer
must produce larger yield to supply
an increased population, and his land
becomes more valuable on this ac-
count.
Globe Trottine Visitors.
Earlier in his address, when he was
inviting everybody in Lee county and
its environs to visit the dam while
it Is under construction, Mr.. Cooper
said there would be people from all
over the world to see the building OF
the water power here.
They would come from Japan and
China and Australia and the four
corners of the earth. because every
where mankind is intensely interest
ed in the material development of
natural resources.
He tried to make the view OF the
site of the dam more interesting by
explaining many details of its struc-
ture to his audience, and gave out
number of details which answer aues-
tions heard often as people meet and
converge about the dam that is so big
as to be rather mysterious to many.
Many questions were asked from
the audience and answered by Mr..
Cooper from the platform.
Stronger on Concrete Than Scripture.
When he was introduced by Presl-
dent Joseph Fry az the greatest
hydraulic engineer in the world and
q man Of great value to society. Mr..
Cooper began by fastening to the wall
behind the platform drawing Of the
big dam eight feet long.
Next he said he can not make
speech but appeared to give informa
ton about the water power develop
ment; and recounted how once when
trying 10 make a speech he quoted
this way:
II am the Lords shepherd; He
shall not want
Then he explained In general terms
the dimensions and structure Of the
dam and power house.
He Succeeded IN His Purpose.
My real purpose IN coming MP here
today is to create interest IN you to.

He told of the intention Of the COM
Dany to build at once large pavilions
overlooking the works on both sides
Of the river, with roofs TO protect
from the rain and sun and seats for
visitors to view with comfort the
whole work being done. He gave all
farmers and other people a cordial
invitation to avail themselves OF this
comfortable means of seeing the work
and having it explained By guides who
will be in constant attendance In the
pavjiions for that purpose.
He said that he really wanted as
many people as possible to visit and
study the construction Of this great
est engineering work in the world to-
day except the Panama canal

dam to the present population OF Lee

DONNELLSON, Iowa, Feb. 17.-In

His lecture of an hour to the farm
ers had two grand diyisions-ons
which seemed intended TO make clear
the fact that the water power com

lRRlGATE IN WEST KANSAS
Il Was 1895 Before State Aid Assured
Success for undertakino-Wa.
ter Supply Unlimited.

30 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
hrst headway made toward placing
that part under irrigation was In 1890.
A convention was held at Great Bend
that year and a state organization ef.
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 legis-
lature created board OF irriga-
tion and appropriated $4,000 for its
work. and this date can well mark the
start Of Kansas irrigation.
Throughout the humid and semi-arid
districts there is an unlimited sup
ply 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
plants. usually of the windmill type.
The following cities. especially. are
centers for this type: Garden City.
lngles. 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 be
from 800 to $3.50. according to the size
Of the pump use: the cost Of the reser-
voir will be about $50 more. Shallow
wells pay better. as the flow usually
Is much greater. In digging the we'll

POULTRY NOTES.

Geese are easily raised after the
first few days Of careful watching.
Generally a hen should not be kept
on an egg farm after she Is two years
ola.
Incubator chicks are never infest-
ed with vermin when they are
Matched.
Don't let chicks squeeze through
Slated coops until their bodies are
deformed.
The incubator giving the least trou.
BILE is the one kept in the best work.
ing condition.
The fermentation of a mass Of drop
pings in the house is cause Of many
throat diseases.
You need not be afraid the hens will
eat too much crushed shells. Let them
have all they want.
To try and get along without an
incubator and brooder or brood
ers costs more than to have the ma
chimes.
Chopped onions are very good for
all kinds of poultry. Onions are not
only invigorating, but are excellent
when the fowls are subject to
colds.
A flock Of pure-bred fowls look nice
and are nice. They make the owner
want to fix up other things about the
farm so they will correspond with the
chickens.
Colds induce bronchial affections in
fowls as they do in people. The re-
spiratory organs Of poultry are sub
jccted to the same troubles as those OF
the human family.
II some of the brooder chickens are
not quite thrifty as the others they
should be put by themselves, il
possible. where the stronger ones will
not run over thine and rob them Of
their feed.

Learn to Make Repaira.

A boy know who hopes some day
to be a farmer will sit Is minutes on
a rake or mower. and call for some
one to tighten nut or adjust another
bit of mechanism. says a writer In an
exchange. II he succeeds, he will
have to learn to do these things him
SELF for every farmer must be a ma
chinist. The man who can put a
reaper together after he has seen it
done will do we'll, but the man who
can do 1t without having seen 1t done
will do better. Time on the farm, as
anywhere else. is money, and when a
tongue breaks 1t is money in the
pocket to be able to repair without
