Cracow possesses the most pictur-
esque ghetto in existence. So early
as the fourteenth century large
part of It's population consisted CT
Jews driven from Germany owing to
the prosecutions inflicted on them.
Certain quarters of the city were as
signed to the refugees; but, being
pushed from these in course OF time
by the growth of Christian population.
they chose the suburb of Kazimiers
for their habitation, and founded an
almost purely Jewish community.
There they still have their old syna'
gogues Zone of which dates back 500
years., and their own hospitals and
schools. They dress in the same way
as their forefathers, and speak among
themselves bewildering mixture Of
Hebrew. German and Polish.

Historic Partisan Square.

Before the Revolution the Place de
la Concorde in Paris was but piece
of waste ground. 1t was often used
for public festivals and demonstra-
tions, and in this manner its baptism
of blood was begun as early as ITO.
In May of that year an exhibition of
fireworks was being given to cele-
brate the nuptials of the Dauphin and
Marie Antoinette (note the irony of
fate: % years later, as the deposed
king and queen of France, both were
beheaded upon this very spot!) when a
panic was occasioned by an accidental
discharge of rockets and more than
twelve hundred persons were crushed
to death.

mature of the SOIL The all-important
question, therefore, Is, to 30 construct

may be kept in a reasonably good con-
idition, and at the least outlay that
will effect this end.
It goes without saying that when
iconstructing a country road II ought
Ito be put in condition that will read
lily take away the water that falls.
without this no road can be kept IN
a proper state. It should be wide
enough to admit Of the easy passing
iof two loads of hay on racks, and 1t
should not be of unnecessary width or
height in the center. When laying
out this read it is usually uiowed to
the desired width. What that width
may be should vary somewhat. In
1.-The judgment of the writer it does not
need to have q width of more than
40 feet. In most instances the road
bed Is made all too wide. Oftentimes
it is made 60 to 70 feet. Where Is
the necessity for a road being so
wide? When This wide, it is much
more liable to :-ut, since the water is
much more Halle to lodge In any de-
pressions that may occur as the result
of traffic.
The road is rounded up nowadays
by the use Of the road grader. The
saving of labor in this method of road
building as compared with the scra-
per;is very great. The roadbed should
be SO shaped that the highest point
should be along the line of the CEN
ter, and the, slope should be gradual,
till the sides of the bitches may be
approached, when It may then be
much more abrupt. The bitches
should be deep enough to carry away
the water readily. 1t is not necessary
that they shall be any deeper.
When laying out a country road, at
tention should be given to the
straightness of the lines made by the
plowman. II he makes burrows alb

self have sn attractiveness that Is
pleasing If for no other reason than
that it is absolutely straight. The
necessity for very deep bitches on the
sides is not apparent, and there is no
necessity for having the crown Of the
road unduly high.
When the soil roadbed is thus made,
the next important matter Is to so
manage it that it will give the great

A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining
the surface after suitable bitches and
cross section have once been secured.
This drag can also be used to advan-

an earth road. The principle involved
in dragging Is that clays and most

thus bringing two 8-inch lines into the
1O-inch line and placing the weak pipe
where there was no great pressure.
In figuring on the size and quality
of the pipe, local conditions may have
to be considered, such as the financial
state Of the city and its people and
future growth. Where there is a lack
of finances. the engineer is apt to be
given a limit of expenditure; but it
is likely il the city officials can be
shown what is the proper size of pipe
to be used and the cost of digging
trench, relaying backfilling, and of
deterioration of pipe-which probably
could not be used elsewhere in the
system, as in the case of Delta, and
would have to be sold at a great re-
duction-the financial limit will be
raised. OF course the size and charac-
ter of the country through which the
line is to be built, special require
ments, such as valves, etc, whether it
is to be gravity line or not, and other
conditions which have to be consider
ed, may cause lowering of the cost
limit. In calculating the necessary
amount of water, local conditions as to
per capita consumption should be con-
sidered. The growth of city is al
ways a doubtful factor, governed not
only by local conditions, but by the
general prosperity of the country, by
the natural resources to be developed
and other conditions which cannot be
accurately determined.
i will not attempt to express an
opinion as to the most advisable pipe
to install under all conditions, but will
say that where finances will permit,
there is not much chance of going
wrong if cast iron pipe of proper quail
ty and thickness is used and the pipe
is properly laid.

How to lrrlaa,s the Alfalfa.

Flooding is the only way that we
can figure on irrigating alfalfa to get
the best results. Whenever alfalfa
shows signs that II has not enough
moisture to grow or do well is n good
time to irrigate. There is. however
n system that may be followed to ad-
vantage Early in the spring II the
alfalfa shows signs Of being dry the
sooner the field is irrigated the bet
ter. Then about week before the
time for cutting irrigate again. This
will start the new sprouts at the bot
tom Of the stalk and in week they
will be from one to three inches high.
When the field is moved off the
new alfalfa is coming on fast. BY
the time the hay is off the ground
the new stalks will be nearly or quite
shading the ground. thus retaining the
moisture for the growth Of the oncom-

ing plants. II you wait, as many do,
and frrigate after cutting the alfalfa
and take the hay off you will lose
about weeks growth, as the field
will stand at least few days as brown
stubble and moisture will be lost. BY
irrigating as have suggested, on the
other hand, four cuttings of alfalfa
can be grown in the southern part of
the state and there will be no baking.
Young alfalfa grown on the dry
lands can be irrigated by pumping
the water, for such water does not
contain sediment. The plants never
seem to start off so healthy, however.
as when the moisture is in the ground
before the seed is sown. The man
who can irrigate his ground most
quickly and with the least water will
reap the best results. This can be ac-
complished only on lands small
enough to be watered quickly Some
people stop irrigating just as soon as
rain has fallen. This is a mistake.
Just keep right on with the irrigation
when the time is at hand If it has
rained a good deal, as has been the
case this spring. it will not require
so much water to do the irrigating
as if 1t had not and the work will
be accomplished much sooner

quently light fifth crop of hay. In
taking four crops off a tract of land
in one year we must certainly expect
to give II plenty of water. Some folks
put too much water on the front of
the land. where the water is first let
In from the ditch. while at the lower
end there is not enough. II the land
is not leveled well it is much harder
to irrigate. To place the water upon
the high spots the low places will get
too much water Narrow lands, not
too long, have always proved in my
experience to be the best for getting
results from irrigation.-I. L. Diesem.
