Our soil has always boon noted for tho man
tier iu which it makes wheat aud barley tiller.
With Irrigation, this effect is truly wonderful.
It is not uncommon to find over CO or GO stems
from u single gralu of wheat, and each with a
good sized head. At such a rate, wheat will
produce, from 2,000 to 3,000 fold. This shows
how Important it is not to sow grain too thick
when water U abundant. Forty or fifty pounds
of good seed per aero is enough.
In a few spots which tho water failed to
reach, dried aud shriveled grain is seen not
moro than a foot high, showing by strong con
trast what tlto rutiro

without irrigation.

We have nuestioned whether our rivers will
furnish sufficient water to supply everyone who
wishes to irrigate. The amount oi water which

after all the Irrigation necessary to iusuro good
crops, proves that we can secure an ample sup
ply. In short, this experiment gives every

Water as a Preserver of Butter.
Under this head tho Uticn Herald nays:
After being duly packed water-tight, the

It Is not unknown to good dairy folks

it isnot generally known thnt it would keep

It might bo worth considering whether
this iiiiit about preserving butter might
not bo taken advantage of. m ns to initiate

weaknesses of tho butter businuss that ut
some seasons prices nro ruinously low,
and tho usual ruiuody of potting is not n

Tlio water, of ooursn, must bo cool and

What is Said of Butter.
When a wholesale dealer is eitiostionod
as to the proportion of really flue butter
ho rocoives in his consignments, ha replies
"flvo per cont." A largor proportion than
this comes to market as gronse. Tho gro
cer will toll you that of all his stock good
butter is the most dilllcult to procure, nud
costs him moro timo mid trouble to select
Wo know thoro is no good reason why this
should bo. Here and there, scattered
widely throughout tho country, wo know
farmers who make excellent butter, which
would bo classed first quality in tho market,
and next door to these are neighbors who
muke trash unfit for food. On tho counters
of country utores may any day bo seen rolls
of butter most widely dllfuront iu e-olor,
flavor and texture. Ono farmer is careful
nud cleanly, his wife keops her dairy swoot
nud her pails aud parns perfectly pure; an
other keops u foul iitublo, milks in uu un
clean fashion, luis rusty food and foul wa
ter for his cowb, whilo his wifaih eijiiully
careless in lior duty. How can tho butter
in these two cases bo other than widely
