In many irrigated lands the water ac cumulates at various points by under flow from the waste of irrigation prac ticed upon more elevated land adjoin ing or from leakage of supply ditches which are constructed through pervi ous material. The prevention of the accumulation of water in harmful quantities is best accomplished by in tercepting it before it reaches the low er level. Albert I go, near Greeley, Colo., has used a series of small wells located at points where water appeared, sinking them into the gravel which lies be- DRAINAGE BT WELLS, neatli the saturated soil. The wells consist of curb boxes twelve inches in diameter made with eight sides from boards an Inch thick. They are sunk from eight to twelve feet deep, the ex cavations being made with a large au ger. The wells have underdrain out lets about three feet deep leading to a surface ditch." The water rises at once in these wells to the height of the out let provided and flows away. The soil, which is about five feet deep, is under laid with gravel, which through the process of seepage from higher lands has become surcharged with water which by reason of constant pressure aud continual supply from land occu pying a higher level saturates the soil above the gravel. These wells, put In at various points where water appear ed, reclaimed at suyill cost a field which had been given over to grazing on account of saturation and alkali. This method of draining is regarded ns highly successful by the farmers of the vicinity who have witnessed the reclamation of the land so treated. The individual well nnd drain Cs r. . d la the work described are shown i:i tho first figure. The method is simple. Its efficiency consists in relieving the pres sure of the underground water at such a depth that it will not continue to force itself upward against the soil and also in .removing such u quantity that the gravel stratum underlying tho tract will provide for the remainder. Drains upon another plan have been used by J. Hetzel and others in the vi cinity of Longmont, Colo. A continu ous line of undertlrains Is laid cross wise of the slope along the upper bor der of the lands showing seepage. These drains are laid five feet deep, which Is regarded as necessary to their success. The subsoil is adobe clay, in which pockets of sand are encountered which interfere with the laying of the drains. The method of location is shown in the second figure. The drains sir«? made of one Inch boards in tho form of a continuous box 0 by 0 inches in tho inside, with no bottom. These drains complete cost about 51 per rod. It is not uncommon In this vicinity to find one drain located In this manner Intercepting sufficient water to reclaim forty to eighty acres of land where tho 801 lis of a stiff nature. Where soils are open and admit of very free perco lation of water the same plan Is ap plicable, but the size of drains must bo increased. The quantity of water which it is necessary to intercept Is greater than is usually suspected, and Borne failures to obtain good results ore probably owing to tho fact that the drains are too small. Shallow drains do not accomplish the result, nor do drains laid tip and down the slope, as fully and cheaply as those laid across. Where drains are laid in wet land its unstable* condition and water bearing sflrnl pockets often make it impractica- V cse.ri o DRAINAGE BT INTBIICEI'TINO DIiAINS. ble to use short tiles unless laid upon a broad base. Sewer pipes known as "seconds" may sometimes be used In place of draintlles. The plans, of treating laud for the purpose of redeeming It from alkali which has accumulated through evap oration and seepage are not uniform, nor is there any practice which has been so reduced to a system as to jus tify an authoritative statement of methods that may be best employed. Tho cutting oil' of the underground supply by drainage has often resulted in the full reclamation of the land, with no other treatment than subse quent irrigation and cropping. THE COTTON BOLL WORM. KM L.NKT Sea Hon V/a* OOO—S*ron;1 Only to the \Vccvfl. Second only in importance lo the Mexican cotton boll weevil : s an ene my to cotton is the cotton b<>!l worm. This insect has long been known ns de structive in Florida, Alabama, Mis sissippi and Louisiana and in INTO had become the principal i:; "ct enemy of cotton in Texas. Nevrrthele* ; little if any effort has been made by plant ers during the many years of boll worm injury to cheek lis ravages, nnd along with increased cultivation of cotton from year lo year, often to the exclusion of any other crops, the losses from tills Insect have tended to in crease, and the injury durin,,- the past two or three years in Texas has been notable. Aside, in fact, from certain Isolated localities hero and there in the great cotton belt, boll worm injury during 1003 appears to have been confined mostly to Texas and the southern part of the Indian Territory. The most serious injuries In Texas were in the northern and central counties of the eastern portion of the state, the los.-i In each county being estimated at from 20 to <V) per cent of the crop. Tito ravaged district Includes the prin cipal cotton producing area ot' the state, from v.hh'h came in 190- ap proximately three-fourths of the cot ton crop of the state. It Is hard to ar rive at even an approximate estimate of the lors, but Ti conservative view by a special agent in charge of cotton boll worm investigations places it at 00,000 bales for 1003, which, at a valu ation of SOO per bale, would mean a Joes of 14.500,000. Add to this the value of the cotton seed, and the total loss would easily exceed $3,000,000. The bollworm has a worldwide dis tributor It need hardly be explained that the lArra known variously as tlie butl worm of corn, tlic tassel worm, corn oar worm and tomato fruit worm Is identical with the cotton boll worm. Bollworai eggs may be easily detecteil with the unaided eye on the fresli silk of corn. As the larva? grow a remark able diversity of color may become ap parent, ranging from whitish or green ish to rose color or almost black, with distinct spots and stripes. A full crown larva measures from one and a quar ter to one and a half inches in length. Corn when In a suitable condition is the preferred food of the bollworm, and cotton is not materially injvired Tlii Mf - A ■ i' m p mv ' khi i f MR 'ilKwr ll -r =•■■■■" no AST ISO EAII INFESTED BT BOLLWOKM. until after the corn has begun to hard en. It would therefore appear that boilworms might be largely kept out of cotton by the proper use of corn as a trap crop. Extensive tests of corn as a trap crofp were made the last year both at Calvert and at Willspoint. Tex. Boll worm moths fly about freely in cotton fields and would bo attracted a consid erable distance by the trap crop. The experiments in question provided for belts of corn around and through the cotton fields, planted so as to be in prime silking condition about Aug. 1. By this means the large generation of moths appearing late in July and Au gust from larva; iufecting roasting ears in the surrounding cornfields was largely detracted from the cotton, and egg laying was concentrated on the trap rows of corn. Thus the number of eggs found on a single corn plant was often surprisingly great Fur thermore, the trap rows of corn were attractive to moths all through the season, from the time the plants were twelve to eighteen inches high till ripening began. The total number of eggs deposited on a single plant must bo very great, and a single calculation will indicate the enormous number of bollworm eggs that are kept from cot ton by a series of belts of corn planted through the cotton field. It might be supposed that by thus furnishing the insect with its favorite food its increase and consequent great er destructivcne3s would be the result. This, however, appears to be not the case. From the several hundred eggs that may be found on a single corn plant but two or three larva; will even tually succeed in attaining their growth owing to the cannibalistic hab its of the larva; themselves and for other reasons. What to Put on the Early Potntoex. If you follow the advice of Professor E. B. Voorhees of New Jersey you will push your potatoes along with the fol lowing: Nitrate of soda, 100 iKHinds; sulphate of ammonia, 100 pounds; tank age, 100 pounds; acid phosphate, 500 pounds; sulphate or muriate of potash, 200 pounds. You may use from 800 to 1,200 pounds per acre. For late pota toes use fifty pounds less nitrate of soda, 100 pounds of acid and fifty less of potash. Application per acre, COO to 800 pounds. TRAPPED IN FLAMES STG»3 { OF AMERICA'S FIRST GREAT THEATER HOLOCAUST. Tile Uurnlatr «>f the Itlchiuond IMay liouae In INII, Wherein TITO Hun dred Liven Were Lout In a I'rlxht fisl SlrtiKlile to Kiiciipe the Merci less Ilumh of Fire. The following graphic description of the first great theater disaster in this country Is taken from a volume of ad dresses to children and youth, as the title page has it, by the Itev. Hubert May, au English clergyman, who visit ed In America from December, 1810, to early In the spring of 1812. when he left for India, lie made the burning of the Richmond theater, where 200 lives were lost, the occasion for a strong tirade against the evils of the theater and besought his hearers to "shun the theater; avoid the haunts of Satan, the destroyer of your souls; seek for real pleasure; do not pursue the phantom of Imaginary happiness." The clergy all through the country took up the cry, and for years the destruc tion of the theater was proclaimed from many pulpits as the direct act of God, intended as an example to those who persisted In the sin of theater go ing. "The lire took place on the night of the 20th of December, 1811. The thea ter, which was built entirely of wood and otherwise badly constructed, stood upon the brow of Shockhoe hill and up on the very spot which is now the site of what Is called the Monumental church. On this night particularly a new play and pantomime had been got up, nnd a largo and brilliant crowd of gentlemen and ladies, of the very flow er of the population, embracing the newly elected governor of the common wealth and many citizens of wealth and fashion, were assembled at an ear ly hour to enjoy the entertainments of the e\ enlng. "It was truly :i brilliant display, anil for Koi.ie time all wont on gayly and happily enough. The play was over — tlu? first act of tlie pantomime liail passed by- si"' md ami last was now lirjua -ami all eyes were Intently fix* <1 upon the actor who had coine forward on the stage toward the light* and was moving to the music of the orchestra, when suddenly a bustling noise was heard from behind the scenes toward tbe rear of the building. This, it seems, was occasioned by the fact that a servant who had been or dered to hoist up a chandelier In doing so had got the rope entangled and, jerking to clear it, had swung it against one of the painted scenes, which Instantly caught tire and sent up a sheet of flame to the roof. This was not plastered, but, consisting only of rafters covered with light pine boards and shingles, very dry, It kin dled at once, and the actors, with their assistants, were trying to tear down the scenes to put out the fire. This movement, however, was not immedi ately seen by the spectators, being hid den from their view by the Interposing scene, and they were still watching the progress of the piece when they saw a shower of sparks and burning matter fall upon the actor before them. At this some were startled, while others apparently thought that it might be only a part of the show. A moment afterward some one exclaimed, 'There Is no danger,' and only forced the sense of it more strongly upon their fears when one of the performers rushed forward to the front of the and cried, *The house is on tire, pointing at the Fame tliue to the ceil ing, where the tire was now seen run-, ——- r K "V* " ning llk<- along the roof. In stantly all was honor au«l dismay. The cry of 'Fire! Fire!" rang through the building, mingled wltli the shrieks of womt>n and children in frantic con sternation. Husbands looked for wives—mothers for their children while some, almost frenzied by the sense of danger, thought only of them selves. "There was, of course, a geueral rush nil at once to escape out of the house as fast as possible by the nearest way , Those in the pit easily got to the outer ; door, which was not far ofT. Those in the galleries also, or most of them, fly- \ ing down the stairs, soon passed to the sifret. But the spectators in the boxes were not so fortunate. Some few of them indeed had leaped to the pit and got out with the rest from ttiat part and a few others had been helped on to the stage and hurried off the ba<-k way, while a small number still brave ly kept their seats, only to meet the fate which they liop:xl to avoid, but tho great mass of them, crowding tumultu ously into the narrow lobbies in the wildest disorder, stopped each other's progress toward the door, while the suffocating smoke, which soon filled the house, extinguished the lights and stilled its victims, and the flames, which now flashed in lurid sheets as they ran along the light wooden work of the lioxcs, caught the clothes of the fugi tives in the rear and wrapped them at once in palls of fire and death. Happy now were those who had reached the windows, where a stream of fresh aif from without revived their falling senses and enabled them to hurry on for their lives or escape perhaps to the ground, for by this time many of tiroso who had got out from the pit and galleries were seen gathered In crowds below, stretching out their arms and calling on those within to leap into tli 'in for safety. Some did so from the first and some even from the second story, and a number escaped in this way. while a few were either killed or shockingly mangled by the fall. "Those hi tho meantime who had succeeded so far as to clear the lobbies found themselves again stopped ati<i straitened in the narrow angular stairs that ran from the landing of the boxes Into the common entry or pent up i.n the small passage at the bottom, where the only door which opened Inward had been shut to by the rushing crowd and could not be forced back for some time even by the help of hands from without. Here, then, some were crush ed to death by others who, even less happy, escaped at last over their dead bodies through the door now opened, but horribly scorched or burned and only to die in the arms of their shud dering friends. "15y tills time, although only six or seven minutes had passed, the whole house was in a blaze that brightened the windows of the houses far and near with its dismal light. The bells were tolling with most appalling sound, and hundreds of citizens, roused from their beds and alarmed for the safety of their relatives and friends, were rush lug to the scene, but too late to save or fliul them. The rest may bo Imag ined, but cannot and perhaps ought not to be described. There was no sleep In llicluuond that night, but the voice of weeping was heard from many dwell ings. "The day after this awful occurrence the common council of the city con vened niul passed a resolution prohibit ing oil public amusements within the limits for four months ensuing, and a meeting of citizens was held in the cap ltol, at which it was resolved that the remains of the dead should be collected and buried together on the spot where they had expired, and thfct a monument should be raised over them to record the remembrance of their fate. And it was also determined that a day should be set apart for fasting, humiliation and prayer in commemoration of an event in which all who had any senso of piety could not but see and acknowl edge that the hand of God had been most strikingly and affecUngly display ed."—New York l'ost. A SCHEME THAT FAILED linsucccaaful Ilnnc to I)I»cov«r n Competitor's Secret. A group of young men, all active in the world of business, were telling hard luck stories at the Manufacturers club one evening recently. An elec trical engineer whose salary la repre sented by live figures told the follow ing: "I've been up against it more than once, but an adventure I had in Jiew York in 18D6, like Aaron's serpent, swallows all the rest. At the time I was manager and a stockholder to a limited extent in Baltimore. We were operating under a patent, and things were Just beginning to come our way when we got word from our salesmen that goods similar to ours were being placed upon the market at a •figure which Ave could not meet. "I got samples of the goods and the figures from three different sources and at once called a meeting of the di rectors. Our patent was worthless as p matter of protection, and our only resource was secrecy, and, so far as we were able to do it, our process was kept from prying eyes. But there was some one who was beating us at our own game. If we could find out how it was done, we could do It ourselves; If we couldn't, it meant ruin. "The next day, disguised as a work man, I went over to New York and found the factory without any trouble, but try as I would I couldn't get em ployment. The foreman said he hadn't enough work to keep his men going and would have to discharge some of them. I was desperate. It was n bit ter winter day, and a foot niid a half of snow lay on the ground. As a last re sort I asked him If he would let me shovel the snow from the sidewalk and give me a square meal in payment. This appeal reached hi# heart, and I got the Jolt. It was no Joke, I can tell you. for the factory was a big one and "the sidewalk long. Hut I was glad to get (lie chance, for It meant that I was to have a show to get inside the works, and 1 only needed a few hours at most to find out how the trick was done. It took me four hours to get the aid.-walk cleared, nnd my back was nearly bro l; n when I went into the office again. The foreman looked up from his desk as I (ami! in and raid: " 'Got it done so quick?* " 'Yes,' said I. '• 'l.et's go out and look at it.' "And we went out. Ho looked the sidewalk over and said: 'lt's a good Joi). I didn't think you could do it. Now, if you look sharp you'll be in time to catch the noon train for Balti more. and "Ju 't tell them that you saw uie."'
