THE OSCILLATION EDITOR.

1t seems apparent that the editor
of the Janesville (Wis.) Recorder is
destined to achieve fame as an author
ity on osculation. He has taken up
the cudgels for kissine (as if that
sacred rite needf t,aa - cham
pion it) say q ~
California reports all kinds of
schemes to boom her lemon industry,
b>I the last that comes ito our no
tice appropriates the confectionery,
or in plain United States, takes the
cake
can edict has been issued con-
tinues the only expert on osoulatOry
ethics, ''by some quaSi7scientific au-
thority who ought ito be in better
business, that kiss should always
be followed by the sucking of lem
ON, supposedly for the purpose of
preventing an interchange of microbes
that might lead ito shocking results.
We know nothing OF the sanitary pro-
prieties of California kiss, (here
let us remark that the gentleman will
mmediately have the profound sym
pathy of all the California editors
who read thiS), ''but We do know,
(aha, SO he has had some exper
ienceO speaking from personal ex
perience of others" (Oh. shucks, not
cOmnetent test imOnV) ''that who
ever kisses one of the Wisconsin girls
does not want anything to take the
taste out of his mouth
mo he will carry that delicious
taste as long as possible. microbes or
no microbes.
TRY something else dear Golden
State, to boost UP your lennon trade.
We will eat freely of your lemons
during the hot weather, but neither
immediately before or after kisses,
if you please.
Go to grass with your scientific
theories THAT would cOnnteract the
sweetness of a kiss, We will take
our kisses straight, using the lemon
to get their work on a bilious stOm-
ach or to hand to a political oppon-
emit"
(Ths is referred to the Horticul-
tural Society to determine whether
it's libel on California lemons or
Wisconsin kisses).

Now that Arizona has delegation
in congress and the state legislature
has passed a Carey law, there is no
reason for further unnecessary de-
lay in the opening of the reservation
lands. We have assurances from the
states two senators and representa-
tive that they will do everything in
their power to have passed at once
the necessary Legislation Segregat
ing the reservation lands so that
they may become available to set
tlement under the Carey act. If
this is accomplished before adjourn
ment this coming fall and winter
will witness a great change in the
status of the Parker project. Every
body in Parker has his shoulder to
the wheel boosting and pushing, and
with this united action the desired
results are sure ito materialize at am
early date.

Under the Carey act the settlers
Will own the irrigation works upon
payment of their water rights. In
many ways irrigation under this law
is more preferable than under the
reclamation service The irrigation
works are usually constructed at less
cost than lmder the reclamation ser
vice. The highest estimate for the
Parker project is $37 per acre for
water right, and this may be apprec-
iably cut down before the state let's

In raising pigs. No matter how wei

a little careIessness and lack OF
skill at narrowing time and during

may result in the loss of a large
percentage OF the filters and the
stnnting OF many more. Warmth
and protection during the first few
days and sufficient amount OF nu-
tritious feeds and fresh air and sun

FROM SOIL.
Government Telling Of Eyaporalon
From Irrigated Soils.

From IrfIk 6ttu DSAASs
A new bulletin has just been ~
used by the Irrigation investigator
branch of the u. S. Department OF
Horticulture, the same being entilieu
"Eyaporation From Irrigated SOILS.
This bulletin may be obtained 0
She Chief of Irrigation Investigations
AZ Washington, ID. C. It Is bulletin
No. 248 and is of such value thal
one should be In the hands brewery
lirrigator. 1t is one of the best ever
Issued BY the department and SHOWS
up strikingly the immense
OF moisture that are usually losl
from irrigated soils from eyapora-
ton. The subject has g Q treao,
ed in an exhaustive but practical
manner and shows how these loses
may be materially cut down by the
maintenance of soil mulchs OF
different methods of cultivation.
The experiments upon which this
bulletin Is based were carried on III
many states and the results are. de-
pendable. An average OF the resuitS
that there was an evaporation LOSS
from a free water surface Oh o.os
inches in Fl days, and that an un-
mulched irrigated soil an equlval-
ent of ITS inches by evaporation IN
the same time. An irrigated Soil
covered with a 3 inch dry SOIL
mulch lost an average of.75 inches
while one covered with a six inch
dry soil mulch lost only "a inches,
while one covered with 8 inches OF
dry soil mulch lost only .22 inches
In the same period.
The bullein also shows up very
s~trikingly the great saving that can
be made by ~cultivating the soil after
each irrigation. During 2S days at
the same stations a free water sur
face lost Sal inches by evaporation
and uncultivated irrigated soils lost
an equivalent of 2.13 inches, while
cultivated soils lost only 1.5S inches
showing a saving OF water OF 26.O4
per cent by reason of the cultivation
The difference in the efficiency of
flooding VS.. furrowing irrigation
was also tested out, and it was
found that the greatest saving of
water could be made with deep fur
rows. This was apparently due to
the fact that the deep burrows place
the water down below the surface
where it was so easily evaporated.
An average of the results at two
Stations, namely, Davis, California
and Reno. Nevada; showed an evap-
Grafton from a free water surface
Of 1915 inches in 2S days, and a
loss from flooded soils during the
same period of 1.25 inches, and a
loss from burrows 3 inches deep, 6
inches deep. and 8 inches deep, of
an equivalent of 90 inches, SO
inches and ~ inches respectively.
The least loss and the greatest saw
ing of water was made with burrows
8 inches deep.

SOMETHING NEW IN FINANCE
Incident That Proves That the South
ern Negro Has a Good Head
for Business.

George M. Bailey, whose editorial
paragraphs in the Houston Post are
known all over the country, believes
that the southern negro has a good
head for business and finance.
"Rastus." said Bailey, in unfolding
his claim. was an old darby who
worked two acres of land on a big
plantation. and got his foodstuffs from
the big commissary which supplied
everything to the tenants. Rastus.
having poor land as his share. was
continually In debt, because he could
never raise enough cotton to pay off
his bill at the store. There came a
season, however, when cotton grew
and iourished on Rastus' acres. and
when the storekeeper measured ND
the cotton he told Rastus:
you've got nine dollars coming to
you
Look hyuh. white mani exclaimed
Rastus. &c back dar an look at dem
books agfn. You dom owe me no nine
dollars
The clerk complied, and returned
win the statement that he had been
mistaken. and that Rastus still owed
the store nine dollars.
Now you talkin' sense said Ras-
tus contentedly. Come on back hyuh
an give me a strip OBJ bacon
iou see explained Bailey, that
oid FELLOW knew that as long as he
Kept in debt to the store they would
give him credit, and he was afraid
'nat IL ne ever got out Of debt the
store might refuse him credit the NEXT
time he asked for it. Hence his nls.s'
ure because of his financial difficulty"

RussIa's New Proteges Are Likely to

The Mongols, Russia's new proteEes

ent race OF mankind from the Chi.

Every Mongol (even the women.
who all ride astride) is a horseman.
and SO used Is he to spending his
whole active life on horseback that
practically he has lost the use Of his
legs for walking purposes, and shut
f1es along only a few yards at a time,
encountered by his heavy skin cloth
ing, on limbs shriveled by disuse and
by grasping the horse and crooked
from the habit of riding extremely
high In very short stirrups.
The Chinese have always applied
the graphic terms horseback states"
to the Huns, Turks, Avars and Mon
gols, who are practically all varieties
OF one people, and have always ex-
tended from the Yalu to the Volga.
They are, and always have been, no
mads. Glass and water are their only
property" and absolute need, for
they are, tribe for tribe, invariably &C
companied on the move after pasture
by thousands of horses, cattle, goats,
sheep, camels-never pigs.
Thus from ancient times they have
always been In a position to send 20O,-
