SELF-PUMPED WATER Hydraulic Ram Best Irrigation System for Small Farms. Smalt Stream May Be Capable of Watering Good 8lzed Tract of Land Open Up Great Possi bilities for Cheap Supply. Of tho vnrlous irrigation Hystoms for the small individual fnrmor tho hy draulic ram, whoro It enn ho applied, is perhaps tho most nttractlvo. Tho use of tho rnm pro-BupposoB tho pros once of n wnterfnllj not necessarily a lOtitnrnct, hut u streum of Avntor with ii fair full, which might, as nn ox ample, ho used for running n print julll, says tho Amorlcan Cultivator. The Blrcnm may bo n vory Hmnll one, and ntllt bo capable of Irrigating n good-Blzed trnct. In various Irrl .gallon plnnto tho water Ih pumpod tip by rams Into ft reservoir excavated on n clay hill, or mado by throw ing n dnm across a ravine, and thus backing tho wntor up Into n little lake, Its situation being higher than tho laud to bo Irrigated. Tho wntor thus accumulated for months Is hold until needed, when It Is run through open ditches on to tho Holds below tho reservoir level. A tiny stroma having a flow of SO gallons a mlnuto and a fall of 20 feet will oporato n rnm that will pump 15,000 gallons n day to a height of 100 feet ubove tho rain. This amount of water, stored as stated, will furnish all tho nocos sary Irrigation for from ton to flfteon .acres. A rnm of this bIzo takes Its water from n four-Inch drive ilpo. The Improvod rams of to-day open up great possibilities for cheap wntor supply. Their Hint cost In vory modornto, nnd thoy pump by water power, requiring no nttondnnt. Thoy nro manufactured of largo capacity, ami can bo rolled upon for pumping wntor to any desired olovatlou for Ir rigating tompnratlvoly high lnnds. Thoy nro inado from a one-Inch bIzo, using three gallons n mlnuto, to a -duplex 12-lnch rnm, using two 12-Inch drlva pipes. Ono of tho latter placed on n stream having a flow of 1,000 .gallons u mlnuto, which Is, by tho way, a vory Binnll creek with ft 20 foot fall will pump nenrly .100.000 gab Ions n day JU ft height of 100 foot nbovo tho rnm. Such crooks or branches with nenr-by Irrlgnblo lnnds nro vory plontlful In any of tho hilly apctlons of tho country, nnd whoro thoy exist should bo recognized ns tho basis of cortnln wealth. It may bo '"necessary to construct a small cnnnl, just ns In tho outnbllohmont of the pld-fnshloncd overshoot mill whcol. In 'fact, old, abandoned mill Rites, whoro much of tho work has already bcun dono, can soniotlmcB bo utilized. Any nmount of full, from four foot up to -10 feet, can ho utilized. Incidentally, water for houso nnd stock can ofton Tjo provided. It may, thoroforo, pay to look Into tho question of water Htipply on tho fnrm nnd to flguro out n plait to uso this grentost of natural resourcon. Tho cortnlnty of production nnd tho gront noss or tho ylold under Irrigation mako It worth whllo to go to consld crnblo troublo to bcnollt by tho wntor supply, If tho farm Is do fortunate ns to havo a good-sized ono. I3von tho How from n goodslzod spring may bo utilized. In tho west ovory opportu nity for using water In this wny Is quickly grnepod, and It Is nn astonish ment to tho onstorn trnvolor to soo with what enso and nt what llttlo ox ponso ho could havo always used tho waters of tho small stroma flowing through his fnrm back homo. TOO MUCH WATER DISASTROUS While Irrigation lo Good Thing, It Must De Properly Handled to Get Dcst Results. Whllo Irrlgntlon Is n vory good thing too much water Is vory disas trous.

Soon nftor tho wntor had boon nppllcd nbovo It sooped out on tho slopos of tho honch nnd rondorod tho upper pnrt of tho orchard Impnss nblo for man or boast. In n fow days tho first throo rows of trees next to tho honch wcro practically all dying or dead, except on a small knoll of rising ground which wnB high enough to escupo, and tho Injury was extend ing to tho next fow rows adjoining. A doep trench was dug bo as to lntor copt and drain tho soopngo wntor with tho result that tho land bolow tho ditch was hard and firm whllo that above wnB Impassable as before. Tho trees below this ditch rapidly rccoV' orod their vigor nnd It nppenred that tho orchard was Buved. A cnvu-ln oc- curreu, nowovor, in tins dttcii nenr ono end, damming up tho wator for n Binnll distance, whon it Immediately appeared on tho aurfuco in tho or chard bolow the ditch and within three or four days tlrti adjacent trees were brown nnd scorched as If thoy had been swept by flro. Tho ditch wns cleaned and repaired and tho wa ter soon subsided from around those trues nnd all but ono of them recov orod nnd put forth a now crop of leaves, tho ono noxt to tho brenk bo lug tho only troo that died. Fall Litters. Tho man who raises puro brod hogs rarely breeds twlco a your; but tho commercial hog ralocr finds It profit able to got litters both In tho spring nnd fall. Tho fall litter is tho more oxpcnslvo to ralso, but unless thoro Is an unusually Inrgo supply of hogs In sight, tho market prices will bo bottor than for tho spring litters, RAVAGES F "L0C0" WEED Experiments Prove Conclusively Stockmen Were Right In Ascribing Poisonous Properties to Plant. It was evident that tho first thing to do In tho flold exporlmont was to provo whethor the loco weeds did or did not produce tho disonno. That thoro wns some dlsonso cnuslng loss thero wns no question. The pictures show Bomo of tho nnlmnls nl different stngos ot tho Investigation. Horses and cnttlo wore furnished by tho Col orado ISxporlmont Btntlon, which co operated In tho work, and at n later stage In the Investigation another co oporatlvo experiment with tho Nebras ka Kxpcrlment Mtntlon was carried on In western N'obraska, writes C. Dwlght Marsh in Amorlcan Hovlow of He vIowh. Two similar pieces of lnnd wero selected; one was freed of tho loco and In tho other the loco, which wns thero In nn abundant crop, was left standing. Tho stock was divided and pnrt pastured on tho loco pus turo nnd part on tho loco-froo pas turo.

Tho animals In the loco pasture nto freely of tho, weed; their coats beenmo Binoothor and thoy gained rapidly In flosh. 13v orythlng pointed townrd tho probabil ity of tho non-poisonous character of tho plant. This opinion wns strength ened by tho fnlluro to And, In tho Washington laboratory, any ovldcnco of poison. After some weeks of feeding, how- ovor, It was noticed, somowhnt sud denly, that ono or two of tho cnttlo stumhlod as thoy walked. A series of symptoms followed rapidly upon those first noticed, nnd In a short tlmo our nnlmnls bognu to die. Before tho end of tho Benson nearly all tho nnl mnls to which hnd boon fod nny con siderable amount of loco wcro dend, whllo tlioHo that were kept In tho loco-froo pnstnro remained perfectly well. Tho first soason's work proved conclusively that tho stockmen wcro right In ascribing poisonous propor tion to tho loco plnntH. Loco would kill, nnd the niunnor of death showed thoso symptoms which tho stockmen claimed to bo characteristic of lo coed nnlmnls. Fnrthor work In Wash ington laboratories was confirmatory of tho field work, nnd the demonstra tion wnu complete of the poisonous character of tho loco weeds.

Gon. Dcnurognrd, after tho bnttlo of July 18, nt Dlackburn ford, ordered that n small red badgo should be worn on tho left shouldor by our troops, nnd, ns I was chief quarter master, ordered mo to purchaso n largo quantity or red flannel nnd to distribute It to each regiment. During tho bnttlo of Dull Hun it wns plain to bo Been that a large number of federal soldiers woro a similar red badge. Gen. Johnston nnd GenDenu legttrd met at Fairfax courthouse In tho latter part of August or early September and determined to hnvo n rlwl The Stars and Bars. battle flag for every regiment or de tached command, Gon. Johnston's flag was In tho shape of nn ellipse n red flag Avlth bluo St. Andrew's cross nnd stars on tho cross (white) to represent tho different southern states. (No Avhlto border of any kind Avns attached to tho cross.) Gen. Benuregard's Avas n rectangle, red, with St. Andrew's cross and white Btnrs, similar to Gen. John ston's. "After avo had discussed fully the two styles, taking Into consideration the cost of mnterlal and the enro of making tho same, It was decided the elliptical flag Avould bo harder to make; that It Avould tnko moro cloth, and It could not he accn so plnlnly at a distance; that the roctangulnr flag, drawn by and suggested by Gen. Beau regard, should be adopted. Gen. John ston yielded nt once. "No ono else Avns present, but Ave three. No ono knew nbout this ling but wo throo until nn order Avns Issued adopting tho Bcnuregard flag, as it was called, and directing me, ns chief quartermaster, to have the flag dono ns soon ns It could be dono. "I Immediately Issued an address to the good ladles of tho south to give mo their red and blue silk dresses, nnd to send them to Cnpt. Colin Mcltao Solph, quartermaster at Richmond, Va. (Capt.
