 COMPLETE IN STATE

The election returns are so slow coming in that it is imposs- |ible to give details, but the latest returns available show that the Democrats sweep the state and elect the entire state ticket with the exception of perhaps Miller of the Tax Commission who seems to have been defeated by Campbell, republican.
 Hunt carried the state by over 4,000 and Mark Smith and Carl Hayden are both elected by big majorities.
 Coconico Democrats lose three, but the balance of the county ticket is elected by safe major ities.
 State wide prohibition seems to have carried by over 5000.

DEVELOPING WATER
 0N GRAZING LANDS

| grazed because of inadequate water facilities can be opened up for stock, is told by the depart ment of agriculture in Farmers Bulletin 592 on the development and improvement of stock water ing places upon national forests.
 No stock range can be said to be properly utilized, the depart ment ayers, if there is an uneven distribution of water. On some areas the water supply is not sufficient for the number of stock the forage will support. On others the water supply is suffic- tent; but is not permanent, mak- ing it neces sary to remove the animals before the season is over. Still other areas are made prac-
  ticaly worthless for stock pur poses by the absences of water except at rare intervals during the winter.
 Range cattle need from 8 to 10 gallons of watera day, says the department, and sheep from one half to three gallons, unless there is heavy dew and an abun-. dance of succulent feed. No 4 matter how good the forage on a1 i given area may be-, animals must have all the water they need or they will not thrive. Cattle, moreover, should not be required to travel on an average of more than two miles to reach water, if they are to be in marketable con- dition in the fall.
 The flow from ordinary springs 4 and even from seeps, can be in creased by digging them cut and curbing the sides with ce- ment, the water being carried in pipes to conveniently situated troughs. Swampy spots can often be made to furnish water supply by cutting an open chan nel from some spring in the mid dle of them, perhaps 'cutting other channels across the main one, and drawing the spring and surface water to some storage point outside. Streams flowing thru deep canyons may be made accessible to stock by construct ing trails over which the animals can reach them, or by raising the water to the surface of the can yon by mechanical means.
 When a natural water supply is some distance. from the range, small dirt flood-water reservoirs can be constructed almost any where to supplement the natural supply. If low place with heavy adobe or clay soil is select ed in the middle of some open park with sloping hills about it, comparatively little work With the blow and scraper will. con- struct a reservoir which, when trampeled and puddled by use, x will hold enuf water for many head of stock for some time. Burrows running diagonally across the slope will collect the rainfall or melting snow waters and carry them directly to the reservoir for storage. Artificial reservoirs permit the stock to be scattered out over a larger area than ordinarily, and remove need for them to concentrate at per manent watering places.
 Where the natural water SUD- ply is more than 50 feet below the surface of the ground the best way to reach it, says the department, is by drilling or boring well and raising the water by means of a windmill or pump. A deep we'll of from 150 to 300 feet, such as,is common in the Texas Panhandle region. complete with windmill. truck.
