Irrigation in CeyIon.

The science of irrigation was far
advanced ON the isalnd of CeylOn
three or four centuries before the
present area, but a large district
once fertile and populous because of
the storage of water for agriculture
is now MOSTLY a waste of brush and
trees. The entertainments of the StOr-
age reservoirs are covered with tree
in many places NOW and one may go
elephant hunting where 1000 or $500
years ago a dense population occu-
pied the land. w. G. Bligh of Tor
onto, who visited Ceylon, contributes
an article of popular and scientific
interest to Engineering News, in
which he describes the ancient irri-
Cation works and tells how some of
them are being restored for modern
use.
Mr. Bligh describes several of the
ancient reservoirs, referring for some
of his facts to ancient chronicles and
for others to relics. One reservoir
near an ancient city covered 1860
acres and furnished water for the
city as we'll as for irrigation. Its ca
pacity was 10000 acre-feet.
The capacity of some of the tanks
was $4,000 acre-feet EmbankmentS
were two or three miles long and
their height was from twenty to
thirty feet. They were of earth like
modern embankmentS. The SluiceS
were of rock construction. The screw
gear or lifting apparatus was lm-
known at that time, but Mr. Bigh
finds that the Ceylon people regu-
lated the flow of water through the
sluice culvertS by means of a valve
pit with inlet and outlet draw gates.
The valve pit was invented and used
i'm Europe in the neneteenth century,
but Mr.. Bligh shows that it was i'm
use i'm CeylOn 1890 years ago.

The Ayrshire COW In general II a

medium size, weighing at maturity
about 1000 pounds, red and white In
color, the relative proportions Of red
and white being greatly varied and
yielding readily to the taste of the
breeder, says the American Cultivator.
There have Of late seemed to be more
inquiries for Ayrshires with white pre-

In Scotland there Is not the atten-

United States. the dairy quality Of the
COW seeming to be about all that COM
mands attention.
The Ayrshire has small, bony head:
large, full eyes; dish face, broad muz-
gle, large mouth, upright horns, the
size, whether slim or large, being
matter of local taste in breeding; long,
