PREPARING FOR
F
CITY BUILDING, RAILWAY BUILD.
ING AND FARM OPERATIONS
IN WESTERN CANADA,
BIGGEST EVER.
Tho machlhery, tho money and the
men for carrying on tho big works in
Western Canada In 1913 aro already
provided for. Tho nplondld harvest
which was successfully garnered, and
by this time, mostly marketed, re
Bponded to tno big hopes that wero
had for it early In tho season, and in
spired capitalists and railroads to
further investment and building.
From, lake ports to mountain base
thorn will bo carried on tho biggest
operations in city building and rail'
way construction that haB ever taken
placo in that country. Tho Canadian
Pnciflo railway has everything in
waiting to continue their great work
of doublo tracking tho system and by
tho tlmo tho Panama Canal Is open to
traffic thero w'U bo a double lino of
steel from Lake Superior to the Pa
clflo coast. Tho cost will exceed
tlrirty million dollars. Tho Grand
Trunk Pacific plan of building a first
class trunk line and .then feeders at
various points will be carried forward
with all tho forco that great company
can put into tho work. Tho Canadian
Northern is prepared to put into mo
tion all tho energy that young giant
of finance- and railroad building can
put into various enterprises of provid
ing and creating transportation facili
ties. Building operations in tho several
cities, that havo already marked
themsolves a placo in the list of suc
cessful and growing cities, will bo
carried on more largely than jver.
Schools, public buildings, parliament
tulldlngs", colleges, business blocks,
hpartments, private residences, banks,
etreet and other municipal improve
ments havo their appropriation ready,
r.nd tho record of 1913 will be some
Ihing wonderful. Other places which
iro towns today will mako the rapid
btrldes that are expected and will be
come cities. There will be other Ed
montons, Calgarys, Reglnas and Sas
katoons, other places that may in
their activity help to convince the
outer world of tho solidity and perma
nency of tho Canadian West. The
country is largo and wide and broad
and tho ends of its great width and
length aro but tho limits of its agri
cultural area. Its people are progres
sive, they are strong, there is no
enervation there. Tho country teems
with this life, this ambition, this
fondness to create and to use tho
forces that await the settler. If they
come from tho South, and hundreds
of thousands of them have, they are
now tho dominant men of the North, '
and they havo imbibed of the spirit
of tho North. Therefore tt. is fair to
cay that no portion of tho continent
will show such wonderful results as
Western Canada, and tho vear 1913
will bo but the beginning of a wod- j
nerful and great future. And in tlnv
future tho 200,000 Americans who
made it their home, and those who
preceded them, will bo a considerable
portion of tho machinery that w'll bo
used in bringing about the results
predicted.
Tho development of 1913 will not
bo confined to tho prairio provinces.
Hallway building and city building in
British Columbia will be supplement
ed by tho farm, tho ranch and tho
orchard building of that province.
Vancouver will mako great strides in
building, and Victoria, tho staid old
lady of so many years, has already
shown signs of modern ways, and it
tho progress made in 1912 may be ao
copted as anythlnc liko what it will
be in 1913, there will be wonderful
developments thero. During last
year the permits went over tho ten
million dollar mark and much moro is

WATER APPLIED TO ALFALFA
Systems Have Been Planned In Moun
tain States to Deliver Water In
Quite Small Streams.
Flooding from field ditches or later
als is still tho most common method
of applying water o alfalfa out In this
country, especially in the states of
Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Utah,
and to a largo extent In Idaho, says
tho Denver Field and Farm. This
manner of wetting dry soil originated
hore In tho mountain states and tho
past half conttiry has witnessed a
gradual evolution of tho plan, so that
now it haB not only become firmly
established but Is regarded as tho best
suited to tho conditions under which
it is practiced. It can bo profitably
UEed on slopes that aro too steep for
other mothods. Holds having a firm
soil and a fall of twenty-five to ono
hundred feet havo been flooded suc
cessfully. From this extreme the
slope may diminish to less than one
tenth of n foot In 100 feet, Its cheap
ness Is another feature which recom
mends It to the farmer of limited
means. Ordinary raw land can bo pre
pared for flooding at an cxpenso of ?2
to $3 an acre. Asaln, It is adapted to
the uso of small water supplies. Hero
in vhc mountnln states tho irrigation
systems havo been planned nnd built
to deliver wntor in comparatively
small streams for uso In flooding or In
furrows, and water users should bo
certain that tho larger volumes re
quired for checks and borders can bo
secured beforo going to the cxpenso
of preparing their Holds for either of
those systems. In grading the land
for this particular method It Is not
cii3tomnty to mako many changes In
the natural surface. Only tho smaller
knolls are removed and deposited In
tho low places. An effort is made al
ways, however, to mako tho farm lat
erals fit Into tho natural slope and con
figuration of the tract to bo watered
sq as to bring tho water to tho high
places. On steep slopes the laterals
may be less than fifty feet apart; on
flatter slopes they may be 200 feet or
more apart. Whatever tho spacing it
Is always desirable to havo tho slopo
between them as nearly uniform ns
possible. When tho land In Its natural
state is uneven, tho grading can bo
done with a scraper. If It Is compara
tively smooth and level a homemade
drag or loveler serves tho purpose
fairly well. Tho main lateral Is usual
ly built to tho highest corner of tho
field and tho smaller laterals extend
out from It, spaced 75 to 22i feet
apart, the spacing depending on tho
slope of the ground and tho coarse
ness of the soil. The size of tho lat
erals is governed by tho head which
may be had, but on steep slopes nnd
on soil that erodes readily, small
heads aro best. The proper locntion
for Held laterals Is usually evident to
the irrigator without the uso of sur
veying Instruments, although in fields
where tho fall is slight It Is often nec
essary to havo a topographical survey
made and the laterals located by an
engineer. Field laterals are always
so located that they cover the highest
partB of the field and their distance
apart In alfalfa varies from ten to
twenty rods. Tho head required for
flooding from field laterals varies from
two to three cubic feet a second and
Is divided between two or three later
als. Canvas or coarse manure dams
are used to check tho water in the lat-1
erals and to force It out over the .
banks nnd down tho slopes of the I
fields. In less than threo hours tho '
upper foot of tho soil is trrnially thor
oughly moistened. To apply ono wn-'
tcrlng In this way costs from fifteen
to thirty cents an acre. In irrigating,
a canvas dam Is first Inserted In each
ditch or set of ditches, 7.T to 100 feet
below the head. Tho water Is then
turned Into each channel and flows ns
far as tho canvas dam by which It is
checked and as a consequeuco rises
and flows over tho low places of the
lower bank or through openings made
with a shovel. When these small
tracts have been watered, tho canvna
dam Is raised, dragged down tho lat
eral 7 to 100 foot, and again Inserted
In the channel to servo tho noxt tract.
Manure daniB sometimes take the
placo of the movable canvas dams
Some tlmo beforo a field Is to bo Irri
gated and after tho ditching Is done,
coarse manure Is placed In small
heaps within each ditch channel nt
suitable Intervals and each heap Is
covered with earth on Its upper face
to a depth of one to two inches. When
this chock has served its purposo it
is broken and tho wnter flows down
until stopped by tho next check. In
s6me instances permanent wooden
check boxes are Inserted In each lat
eral while in others tho canvas dam
is used. Tho thorough irrigation of
four acres Is considered a good twolvo
hours' work for ono mnn. Ily tho uso
of 100 Inches, two men can Irrigate
seven to ten acres In twenty-four
hours at a cost of 45 to G5 cents the
acre In summarizing tho advantages
of the flooding method, It may be said
that In first cost it a ono of tho cheap
est. It Is adapted to tho dellvory of
small volumes of water in continuous
streams it is particularly well adapt
ed to forage and cereal plants of all
kinds, the top soil Is not removed
from tho high places to fill up tho
low places and firm soil, although on
steep and Irregular hillsides, can bo
successfully watered. Tho chief dis
advantage Is tho fatiguing labor re
quired to handle tho water.
Disk Ic Useful.
Tho disk Is especially useful In
working heavy, tight land. While It
Is about tho best pulverizing tool
thero Is It Is apt lo leave tho land
rigid. The smoothing down of thoBo
ridges with tho harrow leaves tho
land smooth and lino.

TnXT"TIicro fulled not ought of any
KoocI thing which tho Ixirtl had Fpoknn
untb tho house of Israel; nil cilma to
pans." Joshtm SI 43.
When mnn Is In
his saner mo
ments, ho longs
for that which Is
stable, for sin
cerity. Ho longs
for the tlmo
when a m a n 's
word will bo as
food ns his bond,
vhon Hegulus will
willingly go bnck
to Carthage sim
ply becuuso ho
said ho would.
About almost any
thing that a man
meets In his every
day experiences prompts him to ask,
"Is it trustworthy, dependable?" If a
man buys a fountain pen, ho nskB,
"Will It write all tho time?" As tho
aeronaut looks nt his blplano or
monoplane, and thinks of being
5,000 feet nbovo tho earth, ho
asks: "Is it dependable?" If a
man has a bit of money and wishes
to lay It aside for a rainy day, he asks
of tho bank In which ho thinks of de
positing it: "Is It safe?" President
elect Wilson recently said: "However
the variation may come, no matter
what tho ephemeral feature may be.
no matter what tho external form may
be, men are looking for a foothold;
they aro looking for some firm ground
df faith upon which to walk."
Is It possible that man can ask with
referenco to God: "Is ho depend
able?" Tho gods of tho Egyptians,
Greeks or Romans wero super-mun-dano
beings; and man was constantly
asking tho question: "Will tho gods
change?" We havo a proverb that haB
come down the centuries, "As fickle
as tho gods." Tho ancient religious
devoteo would think of his gods ns
mercurial, changeable beings, moved
by any wind that blew ho could
never trust them.
If wo take the gods of today, and
they aro not the less gods than In
tho days of old money, place, appe
tite men aro bowing down to theso
and worshiping them, and they may
well ask, "Are they dependable?" So
tho subject of a dependublo God Is
immensely practical, and those who
worship the God of the niblo claim
that ho Is dependable. Ho Is tho samo
yesterday, today and forever, whether
manifesting himself as Father, Son or
Holy Spirit.
Tho Biblo Is full of claims of tho
faithfulness of God, nnd God may bo
placed In sharp contrast to tho gods
thnt aro in opposition or rivalry The
true God never breaks a promise, as
the text so clearly claims. Thero may
bo some support to tho Idea of tho
dependability of God, as thero Is a
demand lor this In God; just ns wo
clnlm that thero Is a God bocauso
thero Is a demand for God. And again
tho regularity and uniformity of move
ment of tho various parts of God's
creation is proof of tho regularity and
uniformity In the Crentor himself. Wo
know that the rising oT the sun enn be
depended on;, seasons of tho year
never fall to nlternato; tho systems
that swing In illimitable space aro so
exact in their movements that those
movements can bo calculated for mllen
nlums in advance to minutes and sec
onds and God created all of these,
and ho 13 as dopondablo as they.
God has given us many "great and
precious promises" of blessings ma
torlnl, blessings to tho body politic,
blesslngB to tho Intellectual and es
thetic nature, and to the spiritual In
mnn, both with respect to tho experi
ences of this life, and tho eternity
that stretches beyond,
Tho challenge of Gdd as to his faith
fulness Invites tho closest examina
tion of his character for veracity, con
sequently for dependability. His
promises havo been most specific; In
many cases given to Individuals;
dates, locations and circumstances be
ing definitely proclaimed hundreds of
years before tho things promised wero
realized. Joshua was justified in his
strong nssertlon ns ho reviewed God's
personal relationship to himself, for
at tho beginning of his career (Josh.
1:5) God had given specific promises,
nnd they had been fulfilled literally.
This depondabtlity of God Is cornpre
honslve. It means something beyond
his proiqlscs of blessings, and nppllcs
as well to tho warnings and threat
enlngs of his word. In the history of
Israel tho threatenlngs because of
dlsobedienco wero us numerous, is not
moro so, than tho promises of bless
ings becauso of obedience. God be
ing just as dopondablo as to the car
rying out of the ono as of tho other.
If God Is proclaimed as faithful God
(Dout. 7.9) with respect to keeping
covenant and showing mercy to a
thousand generations, It is shown In
the next verso that it is tho sumo God
that "repays those who hate him faco
to face,"
"God will not change the restlcHi years
