WINDMILL WATERS LAND.
Large Pump and Reservoir Complete
Ideal irrigation Plant.

Davenport ~ That the uplands OF
Lincoln county, on which are the most
fertile lands in the Big Bend, may be
made to blossom and produce as abund-
antly as the more advantageously To-
Gated tracts along the river is the
opinion of ]. C. Andrews, one OF the
leading ranchers of the county and d.
rector of the Davenport National
bank. who has thoroughly tried out
the proposition of irrigation on his
place, three miles south of Davenport.
by power furnished by an ordinary
windmill. The result of his expert
ment. which was so successful that he
will enlarge its operations from
the small beginning of five acres to q
fruit and vegetable tract of 20, is
looked upon here as the beginning OF
extensive well development for irriga-
tion purposes.
About two years ago Mr.. Andrews
constructed concrete reservoir on the
summit of his experimental tract OF
five acres, which had been set to fruit.
A we'll was drilled and equipped with
a three-inch by 11-inch stroke pump,
which raises the water 120 feet at the
rate of 10 gallons minute when
working at 3O-stroke minute speed,
The entire outfit of reservoir, we'll,
pump and windmill cost less than
ST. 900 and is sufficient with few
minor and inexpensive changes to
water an additional Is acres.
"The experiment has been success
full in every way" said Mr.. Andrews.
"There appears to lie under the
ground at depths varying from SO to
$50 feet supply of water apparently
inexhaustible, that needs only the
power of the wind to raise it and ap-
ply it to the soil.
"Alfalfa irrigated once each cut
ting and got three cuttings - pro-
duced at the rate Of six tons of hay
per acre. Potatoes and garden truck
on land heretofore farmed by ordinary
methods more than doubled in yields.
"My young orchard has shown the
results of the season of irrigation in
a greatly increased growth. have
found that it pays to irrigate in the
fall and conserve the moisture till
spring. Corn planted on ground thus
treated advanced beyond that which
was planted in practically dry ground
and irrigated later.
"There is enough wind to make ir-
rigation by this process practicable in
this part of the state and the fact
that after installation Of the plant,
maintenance amounts to almost nil,
adds advantage. The last season SO
cents would have paid for my only ex-
pense, which was the cost of oil"

TEACH AGRICULTURE.
Pullman High School Adopts New
Course for Boys.

Pullman Agriculture has taken a
prominent place in the curriculum of
the Pullman high school and is the
most popular course offered. The
class, in charge of G. ]. Jones, q
graduate of the University Of Illinois,
has made an extensive study of the
rainfall of this section, and interest
ing facts have been brought to light.
The rainfall was measured daily
from October IL to December %.
The statistics gathered by the class
show that during the ~ days on which
measurements were taken, 81 days
vert without rainfall, the total fall
for the remaining 81 days being 4.49
inches. The heaviest rainfall was on
November 13, when .92 of an inch
was recorded, while the lowest record
for any one day on which rain fell as
.04 inch, November Is and December
10.
The approximate average rainfall
for the last few years has been a
trife more than 20 inches annually,
or about one-half of the rainfall Of
Illinois, Indiana and some of the
neighboring states, which have 40 to
"A inches. The rains of this section
are lighter and not in such large
quantities, and the surface drainage is
not SO great. Palouse ground is capa-
BILE Of retaining greater amount Of
the rainfall and evaporation is less.

COLD MAY NIP ORANGES.

Central and Southern California Re-
ports Low Temperatures.
Los Angeles In many of the
orange-growing districts Of Southern
California the weather for the past
few days was the coolest registered in
many years. In one part Of Los An
geles county the mercury fell to 16
above zero, while in San Bernardino
the thermometer registered 20, and in
Riverside 20 degrees, above.
Persistent smudging for three
nights probably saved the growing
crop from serious injury, but in many
districts the future is awaited with
anxiety. What damage has already
been done is not considered sufficient
to bring the crop below the average.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by lccal appl. cations, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, aud that is by constitutional remed es. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the unocuslln- ing ot the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in- flammation can be taken cut and thiS tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out if ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an in- fiamel co,ld ton of the mucous suf- faces.
