HYDROPATHY Il THE GARDEN We sug-
gest few rewarks concerning the use of
water in the garden. There is no doubt
that a great many people make much un-
necessary work for themselves by water
ing their towering plants when they don t
need It. They seem to thInk that the mo-
ment the soil begins to look all dry that
they must begin to water and out comes
the waterlng-pot, and each plant receives
little dribble, moistening the ground and
doing about as much good as to spit on
the plant. Now it by no means follows
that even if the soil be dry a couple Of inch
es from the surface, that plants require
watering, for well established plants have
their roots running deeply into the ground
beyond the reach of harm from any ordin-
airy drought Very small plants newly
set out or your seedlings may need mod
crate watering every two or three days if
the weather be dry
Whenever it may be necessary to water
established plants, do it thoroughly, and
give them such soaking that they Will
not require another in week. Frequent
waterings harden the soil around the
plants, rendering it impervious to ordina-
ry gentle showers and dews, and exclu-
ding the air from the roots. If the num-
bcr Of plants is not too great it will be bet
ter to make Il little trench around each
one, pouring the water into that, and then
drawing the soil over it. By this means
YOU will avoid the baking of the soil con
sequent upon the ordinary manner Of wa
tering = Country Gentleman

The Art of Agriculture.
The Scientific american saws:

AhSs octcHtttC american saws.
"A great deal has been written and said
about the science and art of agriculture
but fer practical guidance the whsle thing
Is in nutshell. 1t consists in these two
rules-make the land rich and keep the
weeds down. If any person who tries to
raise any plant will follow those two rules
he will succeed, and if he does not follow
them he will mot succeed"
The Scientific American Is generally
good authority in all matters relating to
the arts and sciences, but its present view
In regard to the art and science of agri-
culture we consider falls short of the
mark
There is large proportion of land in
almost all countries, that In addition to
manure (that is the ordinary fertilizers, J
requires It's constituents entirely chang
ged, If light AID sandy, by the addition
OF clay or heavy loan and on the other
hand, heavy clay soil requires an addi-
ton OF sand IN order to render it sufhci-
ent y light and porous for farm crops la
the older countries of Europe the charac-
ter of the soil is modified to a great ex-
tent in this way Again; How many
thousands of acres of land there are that
is almost worthless for cultivation in its
natural condition, but rendered extreme
ly productive by system of thorough
draining; and to introduce and apply this
system IN the most perfect manner requi-
res the exercise Of both science and art
Then again there are immense tracts of
country possessing all the natural ele-
ments of fertility where rains seldom fall,
or, II rain occurs it is generally in win
ter, and the deficiency of moisture is sup
piled by artificial means involving no
small degree of skill and science and
these, too, are called in to the aid of the
most successful farmers in carrying out a
perfect system of rotation-differen soils
locations and markets requiring some
modification in order to insure the most
profitable returns, and to maintain and to
add to the fertility Of the soil All these
require some knowledge of the sciences
as well as of art, beyond the mere rou-
tine of applying manure and the killing
of weeds.

shovelling will removed. The Eastern
train reached here on Wednesday in the
midst Of the storm, and started west on
lv to Get into snow bank couple OF
miles from the station, where they ran
some Of the cars off the track and were
compelled to stay for two nights and a
day. On Friday the train came back to
this polnt. but started again, to work
through, on Saturday. The freight train,
which passed up on Wednesday, in time
to get to Cedar Falls before the snow
storm came on, has been working east
ward, and the two trains will probably
meet at Jesup on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The eastern train, on Thursday, got out
as far as Epworth, and then went back
to Dubuque. On Friday there was no
attempt to work through, but on Satur-
day the train started from Dubuque with
about 60 shovelers, and got within a
few miles of Dyersville that night.
Where it is now we cannot say, but we
shall not probably hear its welcome whis-

Death Of Sheriff Gillett.

E1- Our whole community is sadden-
ed by the death of Sheriff GILLErr, who
died on Saturday morning last, Of Con.
sumption. Though ailing for some time
past, but two or three weeks has elapsed
since Mr.. GILLErT became seriously sick
Since that time the Reorganization of his
lungs has gone on rapidly, ending thus
quickly in his death. Mr., GILLErr was
man much respected by our whole
community, and we hardly think he had
an enemy. Just in the prime of life, am
bilious, and having been always favored
with good degree Of success, with a
loved wife and child, and everything to
make life bright and promising, the
stroke that blotted out his life seems al
most cruel. The widest and most heart.
felt sympathy is extended to his bereaved
family.
