THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



FAST TIME. 



The California Limited, on the Santa Fe route, 

 leaves Chicago at 6:00 p. m. daily, reaching Los 

 Angeles and San Diego in three days, and San 

 Francisco in three and a half days, thus reducing 

 the time half a day. 



Equipment consists of superb new vestibuled 

 Pullman palace and compartment sleepers, chair 

 car and dining car through from Chicago to Los 

 Angeles without change. 



This is the fastest and most luxurious service 

 via any line to California. The train leaving Chi- 

 cago at 10:00 p. m. will be continued, carrying 

 through palace sleeper and tourist sleeper to San 

 Francisco, and tourist sleeper to Los Angeles. 



Full particulars obtained and reservations se- 

 cured from J. M. Council, city passenger agent, 

 212 South Clark street, Chicago. 



IRRIGATION EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. 



If land in Illinois is worth $100 ordinarily, it 

 is worth $500 when irrigated. I would not think 

 of buying a farm unless I could irrigate it. I be. 

 lieve irrigation will be practiced to a greater ex- 

 tent throughout the Mississippi valley and the 

 Eastern States than in the West. 



Cheaper machinery for irrigation purposes will 

 be manufactured soon, as many inventors are now 

 studying this problem, but no farmer can afford 

 to wait as the saving of one crop would more than 

 pay all necessary expense. 



CLABKE GAPEN, M. D. 

 Superintendent Insane Hospital, 

 Kankakee, 111. 



The benefits of irrigation in the Mississippi 

 valley have been fully demonstrated by the ex- 

 perience of Dr. Gapen during the past season. At 

 a moderate expense an irrigation system was in- 

 augurated on the large farm of the insane hospi- 

 tal, and it has already been the means of saving 

 $15,000 which, was usually expended for vegeta- 

 bles for the inmates. 



In the January issue of THE IRKIGATION AGE 

 will appear a full description of the methods 

 adopted and the results obtained.
