SIMPLE PLAN OF IRRIGATION
Extensive Reservoirs and Expensive
Machinery Not Used in Certain
Parts of India.

In India famine has always been a
serious question to cope with, and by
means of canals and irrigation works
much has been done to mitigate the ef-
fects of drought.
In certain districts primitive but
effectual method of irrigation still ex-
lists among the natives, who convey
water to their rice and paddy fields
by simple continuance OF their own
invention
1t consists of the trunk of tree
dug out to form kind of scoop or
trough, which is attached to one end
of long pole. The other end of the
pole is weighted with Jumps of earth
and the whole is balanced at the CEN
ter on an upright SO as to form lever.
The irrigator dips the trough into
the water, and, on releasing his hold.
the weights at the other end of the
pole cause the water to run down the
trough into wen dug in the ground
The supply is then distributed by
means of channels. This performance
is carried on in duplicate, one trough
taking in water and the other discharg-
ing it.-Popular Mechanics.

IAILs THAT ARE PORTABLE
Structures Have Something of HUI
rnorous Side, But Are Useful in
the Philippines.

Portable jails such as are in use in
the Philippine islands are doubtless
lacking in architectural beauty. but
they more than make up for the de-
ficiency in usefulness. These one-roomg
'.cuartels,' built more for GOODNESS
than for permanency, are established
at intervals along the government high
ways of Luzon, and several of the 9th
or islands Of the archipelago, for the
safe-keeping at night of the convicts
who are employed by day on the roads.
These convicts are farmed out for this
purpose from the great Blabid prison
at Manila The construction of these
so-calIed jails is simple in the ex-
treme; floor of split bamboo. walls
of two or three inch poles bound with
barbed wire and a roof of grass thatch.

the British admiralty for sinking the

On February % Captain Bell, in
charge of the Thordis, steamship of
1000 tons, was proceeding to an Eng
lish port when he sighted the peri

An instant later a torpedo was sent
at the Thordis. Captain Bell ordered
full steam ahead and in the rough sea
managed to jump the torpedo, as his
boat leaped the waves while the tor
pedo kept it's own level. Captain Bell
then rammed the submarine and sank

birds in which blackhead is present.

DISEASES OF TURKEY
An Domestic Poultry Are Sus-
CeptibIe to PIackhead.
AIlment Which Has All But Annihi-
lated Turkey-Raising Industry In
New England, Has Spread to
Every State In Union.

It was formerly believed that black
head occurred only in the turkey. Con
tinued observation soon made it clear,
however, that fowls also might have
the disease, and 1t is now a we'll es-
tablished fact that not only fowl, but
practically all domestic poultry are
susceptible; and, although they are
much more resistant than turkeys,
they frequently die Of blackhead. The
same organism has been found in
guinea fowl. ducks, pheasants, quail,
grouse. pigeons and sparrows. But
the chief danger from such general
occurrence Of the disease in mild
form lies in the fact that where there
are domestic poultry the grounds are
necessarily contaminated with the
causative organism, and thus rendered
unsuitable for raising turkeys. For
this reason it is never safe to allow
turkeys and other poultry to use the
same yards. The occurrence Of the dis
ease in wild birds such as the quail.
grouse and in several varieties of spar
rows, adds to the varied possibilities
for infection.
AS a general things, the poultryman
will do better to study methods OF
prevention than to waste his money
on so-called remedies" and cures"
for blackhead. Treatment should be,
in the main, limited to such birds as
are of special value, and the poultry
man should devote his attention to Sc
curing conditions which are calculated
to prevent the disease in his fiocks as
whole.
Regarding such preventive measures
the following, though simple, may be
recommended: ~ Protect the yards
and fiocks which may have the good
fortune to be unaffected with black
head by a careful examination of all
new stock, whether turkeys, fowls,
geese or other domestic birds (2)
Keep the turkeys on grounds which
are as fresh as can be obtained.
Change the range at least every year
or two, and, above all, keep them
isolated from fowl and other poultry.
(3) Keep every turkey in the flock
under frequent observation in order
to separate, and at once isolate, any
bird which gives evidence of the dis
ease. To facilitate such observations
it is of the greatest help to legband
every bird, and to record its weight
from time to time. This procedure
may be looked upon by the average
poultryman as difficult and imprac-
ticable. (4) If it is known that black
head is present in any of the poultry,
the yards should be kept as free as
possible from English sparrows, and

caeao Used as Currency.

Cacao passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest. and that despite plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, in
1910, tells us the Indians used none
of their gold or silver for traffic in
or buy withall, and unto this day the
custom continues among them that
instead of money they use cacao."
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico also
used "cacao" as small change, as
many as 5000 beans being counted
legal tender. The value of the beans
may be judged from the fact that "a
tolerably good slave" could be pur-
chased for 100 OF them.-London

ADVANTAGES OF SINGLE DISK
Has Better Penetration and Little
Greater Draft Than the Double
Disk--Also Works Soil.

It is generally understood that the
single disk grain drill has better pene-
tration and little greater draft than
the double disk drill. The single disk
has an advantage where trash must be
encountered and where difficulty is
experienced in securing sufficient pene-
tration. The single disk also works
the soil to some degree, giving pull
verizing action during the seeding
process. It is the more simple of the
two types of disk openers, the double
disk having two bearings instead Of
one to keep in repair.
It is claimed that the double disk
opener can be used in muddy or very
sticky soil where the single disk fails,
and this statement seems particularly
true with those double disks which
drop or throw the seed ahead of the
disk bearing where 1t is carried down
to bottom of the furrow by the down
travel of the front half of the disk
blades. Seeding can often be accom-
plished by such design and the blades
kept fairly clean in sticky soil. II
many low wet spots must be encoun-
tered these features Of the double disk
must be taken into consideration. rs
The double disk drill will give good
satisfaction in well prepared ground
which is free from Jumps. stones and
trash, if care is taken to keep the
blades in good condition; but simplic-
ity and penetrating ability are fea-
lures of the single disk which make it
the most popular among the middle
western farmers.
