Doe* it pit) to farm large tract* of
laud without irrigation? Take 160
acre* of land and plant £ to corn
and *ow the balance to amall grain.
It will take at leant two men and
three teams, if it i* fanned the way
the ino»t farmers work their land. Ho
H acre* planted with corn will produce
Ion an average of 20 bushels per
acre, which would make n total of
2400 bushel*. 60 acres sown to
wheat at an average y ield of 12 bus
^ bels per acre would make a total of
720 bushels. 17 acres sown with
oats at an average yield of 20 bush
els per acre would make a total of
640 bushels. Two acre* planted
with potatoes at 10 bushels per acre
would make no bushel*. They would
then have raised a total of 4,710

740 bushels of Corn.
76 bushels of Wheat,
I 4 j bushels of Oats,
1 •} bushels of Potatoes
or a total of !)7o bushels,which would
net 2,764 bushels of grain that two
men and three teams have produced
from 160 acres of land.
Panning on a small scale or jJ the ;
number of acres und irrigate the
same. Plant 27 acres with corn
and produce an average of 80 bushels
per acre or 2,180 bu. Sow 10 acres
v.i‘h wheal a . 1 produce an .-.verage j
of 35 bu. or 665 bu. Sow 5 acres
with oats and produce an average
* yield of 80 bu. or 400 bushels. Plant
two acres with potatoes and produce
an average of 20C bu. or 400 bushels
One man would then have raised a
total of 3,651 bushels. Deduct for
seed and feed:
!247 bushels of corn
15 bu. of wheat,
43 bushel oats,
20 bushel potatoes
or a total of 325 bushels which
would net 3326 bu that one man and
team has produced from 53 acres of
land. Compare the bushels and see
the difference.
53 aure with irrigation 3326 bu.
160 acres without irrg. 2764 ,,
Why then farm a large tracts of j
land without irrigation when one
man and team can produce 562 bu.
more grain with irrigation from one
third the number of acres.

Why should one look to other
localities for a home. When wo
have here some of the richest soil to
lie found any where iu the l sited
States and also one of the best irri
gation canals. While the water in
the Middle l.oup is the fullest hi fei
tiliaing matter of anv stream tn the

aptad for irrigation, it all hauug a
gradual slope, aitb but few plans
where the water will not spread oyer

water to wash the soil away. It it can

to he turned on in smaller quanti- ‘
ties which can easily be regulated <
with the small wooden boxes.
The boxes, being only one rod
apart, it will not take much work to i
change the water from one row tc j
another, until the whole field is wat- (
tered. The rows on a large lield i
uiny have to be planted in several ’
different directions to get the right (
slope. The ground should be well '
plowed and harrowed before plan- j
ting to insure an even stand. Much ,
will depend on the stand to produce i
a large yield. It should lie well
cultivated so the corn will make a
rapid growth and to keep all weeds i
down. The last two times the rows j
should he ridged quite high so the
water will not run from one row to
another. Great care should he [
used when wateriug a field of coin i
that no water will gather in low
places and thus cause the stalks to (
blow down, the ground being loose,
ar.d the water gathering around the
roots it will take but a little breeze
to cause the stalks to blow down.
One good watering will make a |
good crop if the corn has been thor
oughly cultivated. The best time 1
to water is just when the tassel be
gins to show the stalk. I t is then near
|y done growing and all the moisture
will be utilix- d to procure tbc grain.
Small Grain: Having had no
experience with irriga'ing small
grain I can only suggest what I
think woul 1 b" tin* proper way to
irrigale a Held of grain—the same
way as with corn. The land should be
well prepared before t-lie grain is
sown so ns to secure an even stand.
The labor required will be bat little
mors than with corn if the lateral
hufc behrt properly ‘aid out and the
land slightly ridged the same as a
corn livid would lie when the rows
are ridged. Of course the water will
not How as far in a grain field, it being
obstructed by the plants. Therefore
more laterals wiP be required or
smaller fields. Great care should be
urged that the water will not wash
the soil away from the roots. Grain
should not tie watered before the
ground is shaded, to prevent the
ground from baking. Most irriga
tors use the furrow system when
irrigating a field of grain, by plow
ing a furrow every few rods in a field
nearly ou a level. The water is
then turned into tue one next to the
lateral. When the furrow is filled
it will overflow all along and when
ouo space is wet enough it is tur

field is watered. 1 cun see no
reason why the method I have giv
en would not be the most practical
The field then remains in perfect
condition to harvest the crop.
Three peeks per acre of wheat
is plenty for seed if the ground is
in good condition and one aud one
half bushels of oats is all that is
required per acre.

FIELD DIVERSIONS.
A Federal Officer Wlio Head Novel* Be
tween Kngagement*.
General Horaoo Porter tells the fol
lowing anecdote in his “Campaigning
With Grant” in The Century: During
the ten days of battlo through which
wo had just passed very little relief,
physical or mental, lnul been obtained,
but there w:is ouo staff officer, a Colonel
B-, who often came as bearer of
messages to our headquarters, who al
ways managed to console himself with
novel reading, and his peculiarity in
this respect became a standing joke
among those who knew him. Ho went
about with his saddle bags stuffed full
or tnnuing romances, ana wits seen sev
eral times sitting on liis horse, under a
brisk fire, poring over tho last pages of
an absorbing volumo to reach the de
nouement of the plot and evincing a
greater curiosity to find how tho hero
and tho heroine were going to bo extri
cated from tho entangled dilemma into
which they hud been plunged by the
unsympathetic author than to learn the
result of the surrounding battle.
Quo of his peculiarities was that he
took it for granted that all tho people
ho met were perfectly familiar with his
lino of literature, and ho tulked about
nothing but tho merits of tho latest
novel. For the last week ho had been
devouring Victor Hugo’s "Lea Miser
able*." It was an Luglish translation,
for the officer hud no knowledge of
French. As ho was passing a house in
rear of the "angle" he *uw a young la
dy seated on tho porch, and, stopping
hts horse, bowed to her w ith ail the
