ULOW AT IRRIGATION. Hitchcock Rofusos to Approve Pro Jects In tho Northwest. Washington, Nov. l.'l. Following cloo upon KccretAry Tail's refusal to recommend aii appropriation (or con tinuing tho Improvement of tho mouth ol tho ColumhlA river comes HccretAry Hitchcock' refusal to approve 11m Umntllln irrlgntlou project In Oregon, nnd tlm Okanognri And Tletnn profocts, 5n WAhington, all of which have been pronounced (caslblo hy tho reclnmntlon enidneorn, and all of which wor re cently Biihmltted to Mr. Hitchcock (or his approval. Ijick of funds is given as his reason (or turning down all three project. Mr. Hitchcock find that ho has al lotted nil tho money in the reclamation fund And about $.1,000,000 In excan. He conclude that It is time to check theno allotment, And In determined to accumulate a surplus before more work In undertaken. Hu therefore Intends to hold back on new projects until July I, at which time, II Is estimated, tbfro will be a surplus on hand of about $3, 000,000. Mr. Hitchcock finds nothing wrong with the engineering features of theno project, but he In entering upon a new policy of distributing money out ol the reclamation fund, and hln reform in put in forco Just at tho time when Oregon and Washington were In line (or recognition. Another thing that develops in con nection with tho refusal to npprovo the Umntllla, Okanogan and TIetan projects Is tho determination of the secretary to hereafter confine allotment of reclama tion funds to 61 iter cent ol the Amount contributed by the various states and territories. It In unfortunate for Ore gon and Waihlngton that this rule is adopted At thin Into day, but, if it 15 lived up to strictly, tho secretary should at once expend $2,600,000 in Oicgon And more than $1,600,000 in Washington. As u matter of (net, not a dollar of the reclamation fund has heen expended on Any irrigallon work In Washington, And the only benefit Oregon seems likely to receive for some time Is her shsre of the $1,000,000 which has lteen set aside for Klamath.

Washington, Nov. It. An echo of the suEKvstion thnt the Isthmian canal should be placed under tho State de partment has (wen heard in a rumor of the possibility that the Insular bureau, which grew up under the direction of Secretary Root when he was at the head of the War department, may be trnneferred to thu State department. The discussion of tho matter has not taken any concrete form, but it is one of tho suggestions made to rellovo the secretary of war of heavy responsibili ties which now rest upon him in Ad ministering not only the Affairs of the army, but tho Philippines, tho Panama canal and other Island interests. It would tako legislation to bring about tho chango, as tho Insular bureau was legislated into tlio War depart ment when tho Philippine government act was passed.

It needs but one exjicrlencc with the bensts to convince nny man of tho illlllrulty In making a hog go where desired. The hurdle described will help wonderfully In this work. Uso ilats of cue by three material nnd make n hurdle two and one-half feet high and about four foot long. Make It of lls;ht a tight material, so that It may be easily handled. In either end piece, at top and bottom, hocks may be placed so that the hurdle may ha attached to (KisU If required at any time. Then mnko handles ft mnko It convenient lu manipulating IL One should be on the center upright near tho top nnd one on either side of tlio upright In about the middle. Theso handle are niailo by fashioning a strip of wood large enough to get hold of, nud thou nailing It on to a block and through tho hurdle material. Made light, in tho manner described, oue can drive a number of hogs with ease nnd also ward off tho iiunrrelsoiuo boar If a member of tho herd. In tho Illustra tion tho small cut at tho left show tho completed handle and the oue at tho right the manner of fashioning the bolt through tho block of wood, and tho end of the uall or screw going through tho slat.

Ilimklnir Corn. Ry fnr tho most serious tank In rnl.i lug corn Is tho mutter of husking It In tho field, fp to duly no practical inn chlno adapted to this purpose hns ap peared. .Many have liccn tried, but they usiinlly fall short In somo Import nnt particular. None of them has be come populnr, nml n fortune nwnlts the man who perfects n thoroughly prnctlcnl com hunker, which will bo as successful relatively ns the modern hunker Is for corn fodder, snys Ornngo Judd lAirmur. When corn Is to bo husked direct from tho stnndlng corn, It should be Allowed to nmturo qulto thoroughly, particularly If It Is of a vnrlety with large enrs nnd hirgo cob, containing a hlghpercentngo of inoln ture. This must bo determined by ex amination. Some seasons husking be gins the latter -tart of September, while In others It Is not snfo to begin husking until the middle or end of Oc tober. The time will nlso depend largely ii-tori the vnrlety. Knrly ma turing kind have small cobs, nnd they enn be husked much earlier thnn Intc mnturlng ami large-ear varieties. Corn when first placed In tho crib contains, 13 to 35 or 10 per wnt of moisture. A common prnctlce In the great corn States Is to start through tho field marking n "down" row. Husk two rows to tho left of the wngon and tho one row that Is undor It. Oo nround a gftod-slsci! "land" In this manner. Tho next time through the Held nnd every succeeding time thereafter hnvb tho team straddle the last husked row next the com that has not been husked. This will prevent tho neces sity of picking up a down row each time, and will enable the busker to do his work. The ordinary wagon box will hold from twenty-Qvo to thirty buheln. When tho corn Is exception ally good, a skillful busker will bo ablo to moro than fill one wagon box In half a day. The capacity of a box may bo Increased hy putting on addi tional sideboard. On the right side of the wagon box It Is desirable to placa one or two extra boards to act ns bump boards. The hunker will not need to iito so much care In throwing lu his work. A good huskcr so gauges the dhUince from tho row In the wag on box that It Is not necessary for him to look whore h throws his ear. I-'crtllUltiK the Unnlcn. There Is no better way to fcrtlllzo the garden than to haul fresh manuro from th stables and spread over thd surface during the winter. Contrary to tho common belief, there Is never a tlmo when manure is so rich In plant food as the day it Is made, nnd th sooner after that it can be got to tho place where It Is to be used, the moro value It will add to the soil. It Is al most Impossible to put too much ma nure on n garden. Wc would not best tatc to put It n foot thick on tho sur face, for it will leach only so much more plant-food Into the soil, and by plowing time next spring will bo set tled down until It can easily be plowed under to furnish humus for tho better meiit of the physical condition of tho soil. Wood ashes makes an excellent fertilizer for the garden, but It should be saved nnd applied on top of tho soil after It Is "plowed In the spring,' as Htash Is one of the plant-foods that may bo washed too deeply Into tho soil to be reached by the roots of gar den plants, many of which aro shallow-rooted. Fattening Hleem. The old method of cramming coi-n Into a steer regardluss of whether or not he digests It, depending on bogs to pick up the undigested corn, is a poor as well ns an old method. To put on good Uosh and to put It on fast a steer should digest thoroughly all tho food that be takes Into his stomach.
