ARTESIAN I The Results of Irrigai Scientific i The results of irrigation the past season in South Dakota have been very gratifying, and demonstrate that the semi-arid portions of the State by , this means can be made as productive as any part of the Northwest, says the . Chicago Record. There are two dis tinct methods of irrigation in Sonth Dakota-canals which receive the sup plies of water from the spring freshets and from the overflow of rivers and canals, whose water is obtained from artesian wells. The artisian basin underlies nearly the whole of that portion of South Dakota laying east of the Missouri River, and hund? eds of artesian wells have been sunk ??' threnghont this vast region. In the southern part of east ern Sonth Dakota there are numerous 2-inch and 3-inch artesian wells, whicb were sunk at nominal cost. Many of them are from 100 to 400 feet in depth. From 100 to 400 feet in the southern part oi the State, the depth of the artesian basin varies to 1,000 or 1,200 in ithe northern portion. Some of the 2-inch and 3-inch wells in Hutchinson and o&her counties in that section eost less than $100, and furnish sufficient water to irrigate large tracts of land. Further north it is necessary to go deeper to reach the artesian basin, and in consequence the wells are of greater diameter, varying from four to eight inches. Bruie county h^as (. thirty-five such wells, whose combined flow aggregates many millions of gal lons in twenty four hours. A number of wells were sunk by the townships to supply water for stock, and cannot be used for irrigating purposes with out the unanimous consent of the tax payers of each township. The sur plus of water is carried away in ditches and affords an abundance of water for cattle, sheep, horses, and other farm animals. These ditches of running v water, aggregating several hundred miles in length, extend to practically all parts of the country. Other wells are used for power purposes, while still others were sunk for irrigating purposes only. This season about 10,000 acres were irrigated in the county. Among the notable irrigated farms in Bruie county are the Carpen ter farm, belong ing to W. O. Carpenter, a Chicago capitalist, and containing more than : two sections of land, and the J. M. Greene farm of 640 ?cres. The own ers are well satisfied with their suc cess thus far, and next season will en gage in irrigation on a still larger scale.. The pioneer irrigated farm in eastern South Dakota is the Hunter Salzer farm, which has been raised to a high state of perfection. The farm contains 800 acres of slight ly rolling prairie land. The artesian well has an 8-inch pipe down to sand rock. There the diameter was re duced, and a 6-inch pipe reaches: to the artesian basic, 1,000 feet below the surface. The normal flow of the well is 1,200 gallons a minute, suffi cient to irrigate a tract of 1,200 acres. As a matter of precaution, the well is not permitted to flow its full capacity being reduced to a flow of 780 gallons a minute. The well was put down six years ago, and cost $3,500. At present prices it would cost not more than $3,000. Adjacent to the well is a circular reservoir covering five acres. It is constructed on the highest point of the farm, ac an elevation of 2? feet. Three feet to the mile is found to be a sufficient fall for irrigating. The banks of the reservoir are formed by earth, thrown to a height of 5} feet-22 feet wide at the bottom and 5 feet wide at the top. The inside of the wall thus formed has a slope of 2 feet to 1. The inside of the reservoir is riprapped with stone. The original cost of the reservoir, all work by the day, was $650. The cost of riprap ping was about $600 in addition, as the stone had. to be shipped in. Where the stone can be obtained on the farm or on adjoining land, an ex penditure of $300 would suffice. The openings from the reservoir into the ditches are two feet square. Each of the ditches follows ridges or slight elevations and the fields on either hand can be flooded without difficulty. The ditches are 6 or 7 feet wide and 2 feet deep. When irriga tion was in its infancy in this State, it was thought best to keep the ditches full of water all the time, but experi ments on the various farms have proved this to be not only unneces sary, but detrimental to crops, the seepage furnishing too much water. After the adjoining land is irrigated, the water in the ditches must be kept below the level of the field. The mode of irrigating which ex perience has demonstrated to be the best is to divide a field by throwing up lateral ridges. A break is then made in the main ditch opposite the land to be flooded, and sufficient water is permitted to run over the tract to thoroughly soak it. Then the break in the ditch is repaired and another RRIGATION. bion in South, ??kota. imerican. made opposite the land embraced within the next set of lateral ridges, and. so on. These ridges are low enough not to interfere in the least with the propfer cultivation of the land. The principal thing is volume of water, andonis is the chief advan tage of the reservoir system. (he of the ordinary artesian wells, such as can be struck anywnere in the central portion of the State, east of the Missouri River, will fill a five acre-reservoir in eight days. During the irrigating season the reservoir would be emptied in about thirty-six hours. Still, the average well would irrigate from 1,000 to 1,200 acres, be cause it is customary to thoroughly soak the land in the fall, and when it is once saturated it takes very little water to keep it moist. The ditches, when all the work is hired, costs about 35 cents a rod, but when once constructed it requires very little expense to keep them in good condition. On the farms under irrigation there are usually four of these ditches to each quarter section of land. The cost of ditches would be about $224 for a quarter section or $896 for a section of land. The cost, where a farmer does the work him self, is very slight. Small ditches are used only when an odd-shaped piece is to be irrigated, or when the tract is detached or cut up-by "draws" or lake beds. The small ditches are easily made, bsiog a matter of plowing two straight farrows. When the soil is once saturated to the blue clay, moisture will come to the surface fast enough to furnish plant life will all necessary sap. Too much water is fully as disastrous as none, and extreme care is taken not to injure land by wetting it too much. By the reservoir system one man, after he has become familiar with the topography of his fields, can irrigate twenty acres in five or six hours. If the ditches have to cross hollows, the low places are graded up and the wa ter is carried along the top. The benefits of irrigation are shown by the fact that in the central part of the State, wheat, without irrigation, yielded an average of ten bushels to the acre, while on irrigated fields it yielded from twenty to thirty bushels an acre. In the western part of the State, notably in Fall River county, where irrigation is carried on by means of canals with rivers as their source of supply, wheat averaged about twenty bushels an acre, while without irrigation it prob ably would not have yielded more than five bushels to the acre. Other crops have yielded in proportion, and next season will witness a marked in crease in the number of acres which will be irrigated. An Astonished Englishman. .The ignorance that seems to exist in some sections of England concern ing the geography of this country is illustrated by this incident from the Chicago Chronicle. A young woman of Chicago has re turned to the city after a visit in England of a year and a half, much of which time was spent in the endeavor to straighten out the impressions of Englishmen concerning America in general and the United States in par ticular. Soon after her arrival in London she attended a reception of a semi-official nature. Many highly educated people of considerable prom inence were present, and the Chicago girl had brief "reception conversa tions" with a number of them. On learning that she was an American most of the Englishmen very natu rally asked her some question or other about her native land. "Ah, I understand you are an American," said one agreeable and very learned appearing old gentle man. "Yes, lam from the States," re sponded the Chicago girl, with a smile. "I suppose you live in Boston ?" of course asked the Londoner. "O, no. I live about one thousand miles west of Boston," she replied. "No, you don't say ! Then you must live on the Pacific coast." "O, dear, no. I live over *two thousand miles east of the coast." "?beg your pardon," gasped the old gentleman. "Yes," repeated the young woman with a^smile, "I live about one thou sand miles west of Boston and about two thousand miles east of the Pacific coast." "Then you must live in the air," ejaculated the astonished English man. "Well, not exactly in the air," re turned the Chicagoan; "but they do call the place I live in pretty windy." - Have the courage to speak your mind when it is necessary that you should do so, and to hold your tongue when it is better that you should be silent. Gen Wheeler's Methods. When the American line had fought its way to the top of the hills at El Paso and San Juan and Caney, Gen. Wheeler issued an order that every command should dig trenches in prep aration foi the conflict that he knew would break out again in the morning. But the soldiers had thrown away most of their trenching tools during the fierce :rifle charges, and as dark ness fell upon the scene of battle the*y threw themselves upon the ground and went to sleep from sheer exhaustion. Adjutant Hood, of the Rough Riders, noting this condition of affairs, rode over to Gen. Wheeler's tent and in formed the good old veteran that the men were played out. Wheeler at the time was lying upon his cot more dead than alive, but there was a smile upon his lips, and his never-failing good humor twinkling in his eyes, when Adjt. Hood said: "General, I am afraid our men can't dig the trenches." "What men?" asked the General. "The cavalry division," paid the Adjutant. Gen Wheeler sat up in bed and be gan pulling on his boots. "Send me the man," he directed. "What man," asked the Adjutant. "The man who can't dig the trench es." "But it is not one man; it is many men. They are just played out." "But you can surely find one man who says he can't dig the trench. I only want one. Go get one and bring him to me." "But there are-" "I don't care how many there are, go get me one." The Adjutant had never faced such a man as Wheeler before, and he did not know just what to make of the conversation. The little old General was as smooth and suave and courteous as could be, and Hood had nothing to do but rice back to the line. In some way he managed to round up a colored trooper belonging to the 9th cavalry, and brought him back to the division headquarters. He stood looking sleep ishly at the ground, when Wheeler addressed him. "Are you the man who says he can't dig the trenches?" asked the General. The negro's feet shuffled uneasily in the ground. "I'se one of 'em boss, but there's a-." The General stopped him and walk ed out of his tent. "You can go to sleep now, my man, and I'll go up and dig your trench for you. When the sun comes up to morrow morning thc Spaniards are go ing to open on us, and every man who isn't protected is not only in daoger of being killed, but will be unable to help us maintain our own position. The trenches have to be dug. and if you are unable to dig yours I'll just go and do it for you. Where's your pick?" With the most businesslike air in the world Wheeler slid into his coat and turned toward the big cavalryman. The latter's eyes opened as he saw the proceedings, and they began to bulge ouf/whec the General motioned to him to lead the way to his camp. For half a minute his voice stuck in his throat, and then he said: "Boss, you ain't fit to dig no trench es. If they done got ter be dug I'll just naturally do it myself. I'm dog tired, but that ain't no work for you/' Wheeler stopped aud looked at the man without a flicker of amusement in his eyes. "I know is isn't work for me to do," he said, "but I am going to need sol diers in the morning, and I am going to save your life, if possible. Do you think now that you can dig the trench?" The negro started up the hill with out a word. Then the Gen. turned to Adjt. Hood, with a voice as pleasant as sunshine in May. "He seems to have changed his mind," he said. "Now you go and find me another man who can't dig the trenches." The Adjutant bowed and rode off. He nev?r came back. In the morning the trenches were dug.-Atlanta Con stitution._ Put your stomach, liver and blood in healthy condition and you can defy disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is a successful system regulator.

''This is a splendid peach," said Ned. "Just as sweet and juicy ! I'm going to plant the seed. Come out into the orchard with me." "Oh, what's the good?" said Will. "Papa says that, if a peach grows well, it will begin to bear-just begin, you know-only a very little at first in about four years." "Oh!" said Will again, this time in great scorn. "Four years! Why, think how long a year is! Think how long 'tis since last Thanksgiving! And four years to wait!" "But the time goes by, anyway. That's what papa says. You might as well have something growing. You'd better plant your seed." "I shan't bother to. Come on." He waited impatiently while Ned brought a spade to dig, and finally, after also bringing water, smoothed the earth over his peach-stone. "See me shy this at Rover." Rover gave a little yelp as the stone hit him; and that was Will's last thought of the small kernel in which was wrapped up so much of beauty and sweetness, ready to be brought out by a little care. Later in the day Ned spied it and picked it up. He carried it to where he planted the other, then looked about with a thoughtfulness unusual in so small a boy, born of wise head to what "papa says." "I don't believe there will be quite room enough here when it's a tree. Those apple trees 'll shade it too much. I guess it had better go over in that corner." Some years later Will followed Ned ; into the orchard and to a special spot, where the latter gave a little exclama tion of delight. "What is it?" asked Will. "My peach tree," said Ned. "I've been watching out for some blossoms this year, and here they are." "And will the peaches be all your own?" "Why, of course. I planted the , seed. Don't you remember? You were here when I did it. You had a stone, too. that day; but you threw it away." "No," said. Will, "I don't remem ber." "I remember, because I've watched and watched it. I saw when it sprouted out of the ground and when the leaves began to grow. And it's been fun, I tell you, to see it get big ger. And now to see these pretty pink blossoms!" "And then to see the peaches," said Will, regretfully. "I wish I had planted my stone." "We're not so very old yet," said Ned, "you twelve and I eleven. Papa says that, if a boy keeps planting, he will enjoy them all his life-the things that will keep growing and growing while he is doing something else. He says," Ned's face lighted as his hand gently touched the deli cate bloom, "that God sends all his beautiful things to help the one that plants a seed ora tree. The sun helps him, and the rain and the dew and the wind." "I'm going to plant," said Will. "But you've got the start of me by years." "Come here," said Ned. He led the way to a corner of the orchard, and pointed out a tree exactly like the one tl#y had just left. "That's yours," he said. "I don't know what you mean," said Will. "I never planted a peach stone." "I planted it for you," said Ned. "When you threw it away, I picked it up. See, it has about as many buds as the other-one, two, three, four, five-more than a dozen. This isn't the time of year for transplanting things; but papa says that, when the right time comes, it won't stop its growth at all." "You're real good," said Will, fer vently. "I'm going to plant trees after this." He keeps his promise, and the two boys are making the world more beau tiful for having lived in it. They drop acorns and fruit stones.

Catarrh is Nc t Incurable But it can not be cured by sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures which reach only the surface. The disease is in the blood, and can only be reached through the blood. S. S.

The sprays and washes prescribed by tbe doc tors relieved me only temporarily, and though I used them constantly" for TerjTyears, the disease had a firmer hold than ever.
