Successful Irrigation

Geo. Wolker, of Sarsanc, on the
high prairie of northern Stanley county
built two large dams on his place and
this year tried an irrigation experiment
from n of them. He plowed two
acres and planted the tract to potatoes.
Half of this he irrigated by drawing
water from n of his dams, and the
other he allowed to go without irri-
cation. The soil and conditions other
than the irrigation were the same, and
both acres were given the same cult
walton. He is now putting his plan to
the practical test of the biggest and
finds that the acre which he irrigated
is producing just five times the crop as
the other acre which was not treated.
The result is that he is arranging to
irrigate about twenty acres from lis
dams next season, and will confine his
operations largely to that tract.

Strange Sheep Disease

Sheep men in Gregory county are
greatly alarmed by the death of many
of their sheep, the cause appearing to
be a weed of mysterious character
which the sheep devour. A. E. Pike
was the first to sustain losses. Twenty
seven of his sheep were found dead in
a pasture, and within a few hours
eighteen more died. A veterinary
surgeon who examined the spinal
columns and brains of the dead sheep
discovered that a stale of paralysis
resulted from the eating of the weeds
seeds of which were found in the
intestines. When an animal showed
symptom of the poison it would drop
its head, move backward a few steps
and fall dead. There is no time to
apply a remedy, as the sheep die
within three minutes after showing
signs of poisoning.
