Flrehook Brings Death.
An onglno flrohoolc that ho carrlod

by electric ahock of Charles E.

railroad, near Now York city. Spaydo,
whoso home was In Now Haven, was

Boston. Passing through New

leaped off and picked up tho rod.
Climbing on a car ho walked toward
tho tender, carrying tho rod on bis

touched one of them and tho current
shot through hla body, killing him In

tracks and tho train cut off his legs.
Rnllrond mon who ran up found hla

LESS WATER WASTE
Large Volumes Are Lost by Ab
sorption and Scepago.
One of Most Common Sources of Loss
Is Poor Preparation of 80II
Too Shallow Irrigation la
Another Cause.
Itccont investigation made by tho
experiment station havo shown thnt
tho quantity of water which plants
use forms but a small part of that
which Is diverted from streams for Ir
rigation purpose Largo volumes aro
lost by absorption and seopago In the
enrthon channels of canal systems.
Similar losses occur In tho ditches
which supply farms, and a large part
of tho remainder Is wasted In Irri
gating crops. Tho farmer Is chiefly
concerned in lessening tho wasto of
wator In his supply ditch and on his
farm. In localities whero water la
icarce, tho supply ditch should bo
made wator-ttght, This may bo done
by lining tho channel with coment
soncroto, cement plaster, asphalt,
heavy crudo oil, or clay puddle.
Flumes or plpoo may also bo usod as a
tubstltuto for an earthen ditch.
One of the most common ttources of
loss of water Is poor preparation of
.ho surface. Whon tho soil Is Irrigated
by flooding from field laterals an un
even surfaco causes needless wasto of
water, extra labor In spreading it over
tho surface, and smaller yields. Tho
water flows into tho low places, which
receivo too much and may becomo
water-logged, whllo tho high places
aro loft without wator and the crop
thereon is dwarfed. Tho surfaco bo
twoon flold laterals should bo bo even
ly graded that wator will flow In a
thin sheet over tho entlro surfaco, tho
excess being caught up by the lowei
lateral.
Another common causo of wasto Is
tho lack of attendance. Wator Is oft
en turned on a portion of a flold and
permitted to run without attention for
hours nnd even days. On some farms
tho irrigators look attor tho water for
ten hours and turn It looso for tho
balance of tho dny. Under this prac
tise tho low places recolvo too much,
tho high places llttlo or none, nnd
1 large part flows off tho field to the
Injury of tho road and adjoining
farms.
Too Bhallow and too frequent Irri
gation is another sourco of waste.
Wotting tho surfaco and neglecting to
iultlvnto It aftorwarda may result In.
(ho loss by evaporation of three-
fourths of tho wator which la applied
In this wny. For most plants, and for
&U deep-rooted plants in particular, tho
ground should bo bo prepared that wa
ter would readily porcolato to a con
sldornblo depth beneath tho surfaco
and enough water should bo applied
to moisten tho subsoil.
Again, In farming by irrigation
thorough nnd frequent cultivation Is
of first importance It not only pro-
vents tho oscnpo of largo quantities
of soil molsturo, but it grontly Im
proves tho condition of tho soil.
"SAND" TURNED INTO DOLLARS
"Desert Wastes," Thought Useless
Few Years Ago, Redeemed by
Means of Irrigation.
Nobody needs to worry any longer
over tho fact that most of tho natural
ly arablo land of this country Is occu
pied. Tho results already achlevod
from tho Irrigation of largo tracts of
what, a few years ago, Btlll beltovcd to
bo "desert wastes" forever usoloss,
show that most of this "sand" can
bo literally turnod Into dollars.
Thoro la wator enough tho only
problom Is capital, and engineering
ability for tho -husbanding of natural
water supplies and tho systematic
spreading of them over thirsty soil
which then becomes astonishingly for-
tile
The Irrigation work In this country
already completed and under way will
redoo'm moro than CO million ncroa of
tho desort, ready for cultivation,
ready to' add half a million prosper
ous homes to tho millions already 00
tabllBhcd.
It la estlmatod that by those means
tho soil of this country would bo mado
to support In comfort fully flvo tlmos
lta proacnt population. ,
ThOBO who cultlvato theao redeemed
doaert spaces agreo that tho profits
aro greater nnd surer than from land
which doponda upon tho uncortnln
rainfall for its productivity. Thoy do-
claro that the gentle and timely seep
Ing of wator from irrigation dltchoa
through tho soil Is tho idoal wny of
watering It, whorcas rains often como
at tho wrong tlmo, ofton in deluges,
and overwhelm young crops, nnd, oft
oner yet, too lato to eavo tho burnt
up vuerdro.
Care of Milk Palls.
The milk palls should always be
covered, and novor allowed ,to stand
open In tho barnyard. A failure to
do this may causo your milk to bo
contaminated. Many dairymen cover
their palls with choose cloth while
thoy are milking and milk through
tho cloth.
Hints and Ideas.
Any experienced poultry rnlsor can
frequently tell you many valuable
hints nnd practical Ideas that novor
find tholr way into print,
Produot of Cow.
Every man who milks cows should
havo a standard of production toward
which ho Is grading hla herd.
CABBAGE needs, much water
Frequency and Number of Irrigations
Depends on the Soli and Amount '
of Rainfall.
(Dy E. It. BENNETT. Colorado ,Art1cu1-j
turnl College.)
Few crops aro moro particular about)
wator than tho cabbage Although lb
is a gross feeder it will soon wilt nn$
stop growing if tho soil Is dry, and on,
tho other hand, if tho land bocometf
water-logged tho plants will turn yelj
low-'and atop growth. Tho frequency
and number of irrigations then dc-J
ponds on tho character of tho soil and
tho amount of rainfall. If soils aro
light and gravelly, with good under,
drainage tho Irrigations must bo'
frequent and thero Is llttlo danger of
ovor-watorlng.
Tho harvesting of cabbngo is a very
Blmplo operation, aa tho markots,
reached aro not exacting.
Tho wagon la driven into tho flold,
tho heads cut with a knlfo, so aa to
leave Just enough of tho green leaves
to covor tho white tlsauo of the head,
then thrown on to tho wagon. Not all
tho heads will bo ready for market at
the same tlmo, so tho fields have to
bo gone over twice or thrco tlmos bo
fore nil the crop Is taken off.
If tho crop Is to bo shipped tho
cabbages aro hauled direct to tho
cars. After being weighed tho cab
bages aro cither crated, sacked, or
sometimes loaded on to tho enra loose.
One of tho moat serious Insect peata
up to tho present tlmo la tho llttlo
black flea bootlo (Epltrlx cucumerla).
Thoso Insects feed on tho stoms nnd
cotyledons of tho" plants Just as tho
seedlings break through the ground.
If tho Insects aro plentiful they somo
tlmea doatroy all the plants. Growers
frequently fall to locnto tho troublo
because of the small slzo of tho In
sects and tholr habit of Jumping away
from tho plants whon disturbed. This
pest Is particularly troublesomo It
tho soil forms a crust so that tho In
sects can find protection under tho
crust aa tho aoedllng comos up.
Sovoral remedies, uuch aa ashes,
ground tobacco atoms, llmo and Insect
powdor, havo been used with varying
dogrocs of buccosb. If tho Insects aro
numerous tho only method of prevent
ing the trouble la to grow the1 plants
In cold frames where tho lnaccta can
bo shut out till tho plants aro large
enough to resist tho attacks.
