IRRIGATION.

Although the products of our valley
are varied, and in most instances are OF
an excellent quality, yet experiments
prove that greater yields and better
qualities of products may be obtained
in all parts of our State by the practice
of irrigation. More particularly is this
the case With garden products and the
grasses. Potatoes and all other garden
products my be doubled, and in many
instances trebled, by this practice The
long dry season prevents many vege'a>
bles from maturing and yielding rich
return, which by the use of a little
water could be made remunerativc.
Some places are so situated that they
cannot be irrigated without heavy
outlay Of time and money, yet most
places can be well watered with a very
small outlay OF either. If our farmers
would give this matter littleattention,
they would fsd they would be well
recompensed therefor. We might point
to numerous Instances in our own
county where the experiment has heen
made on u small scale, and if the lime
and money spent in irrigating small
piece of ground is we'll repaid, we see
no reason whyit wonld not be equally
well repaid on larger scale. 1t GER
tainly costs but little to make the ex-
pertinent, and the result, if attained,
would certainly justify the effort. The
little streams and springs flowing from
our mountains furnish an exhaustlcss
supply of water which, with little labor,
can be made available for this purpose.
We wish those who have tried this ex~
pertinent would furnish US with the
result.

THE GREAT LESSON.

8
The first lesson that young man
should learn is tha: he knows nothing
The earlier and the more thoroughly
this is learned the BETTER. A homebrcd
youth growing up in the light OF
parental admiration, with everything to
foster his vanity and self esteem, is
surprised to fiad, and often unwilling to
acknowledge, the superiority of others
But be is compelled to learn his own
insignifcance, his airs ridiculed, his
blunders are exposed. his wishes disre-
garded. and he is made to cut a sorry
figure, until his self f-conceit is abashed,
and he keenly feels that he knows
nothing. When young man has
thoroughly comprehended the fact that
he knows nothing, and that intrinsi-
eally he is tut Of little value, the next
lesson is that the world cares little
about him. He is the subject of 20
mans overwhelming admiration not
petted by the one sex nor envled by
the other, he has to take care OF him
self He will not be noticed until he
becomes noticeable; he will not be-
corie noticeable until he does something
to prove that he is of some use to
society. No Recommendation will give
him this, nor ought to give him this /;
he must do something to be recognized
as somebody. The next lesson is that
OF patience A man must learn to wait
as we'll as to work, and to be content
with those means of advancement In
life which he may use with Integrity
and honor. Patience is one Of the most
difficult lessons to learn. 1t is natural
for the mind to look for Immediate
results. Let this. then, be understand
at starting; that the patient conquest
of difficulties which rise in the regular
and Legitimate channels of business aud
enterprise is not only essential in secur-
ing the success which young man
seeks in life, but essential also to that
preparation Of the mind requisite for
the enjoyment of success, and for re.
tanning it when gained. 1t is the gen.
eral rule 10 all the world aud in all
time. that uneaYned success is a curse.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.

II wheat (the crop Just karvested).
Kansas leads of beautifully, being ID

{of the Western States1 comes next,
with ITO; Oregon, I0l Nebraska, SO |;
California 90. The yield in Doniphan
county, in this State, IS bushels per
acre, weighing 63 pounds per bushel.
OF oats, we only know. that the yield
is more than IN 1870; and of barley the
same.
The potato crop is reported as fine in
the Northwestern and trans.Missouri
States, and above an average in New
England and the Middle States, except
Vermont and Delaware.
Beef cattle are reported to be greater

TOM EWING AS An ATHLETE.

I well recolIect the first time l saw
Thomas Ewing, then young lawyer,
not yet having much business, or max
ing much OF q mark. l was struck with
his large head. and generally massive
aud muscular, but rather awkward
build. 1t was summer time, aud the
court had adjourned early in the after
noon. Several of :he lawyers remain
ed and the conversation turned upon
athletic exei cises and feats of strength.
Among those present was j oe Nc Dow
ell, brother of Abram and John. He
declared that he was SO swift of foot
that he had never been beaten a race of
100 yards, and he believed he could not
be beaten, and offered to bet ten dollars
he could beat any one in the crowd.
Finally, Orris Parrish took him up, aud
they went out on the green. l. was
not vet determined who was to be Nc
Dowell's competitor, but when the
ground was measured off, Mr.. Ewing,
who had taken but little part i'll the con-
Yersation, ard whose demeanor had
been very modest and retiring, offered
himself to run the race, and 10 the sur
prise OF all, Tor none supposed he could
run. Judges and shareholders were APP
pointed, and l will never forget the
CLEAN OF Ewing's eye or his air of res
oIution as he stripped off Goa vest aud
shoes. aud took his place. The word
GO was given, and the young athletes
sprang off with an even start Soon,
however. Ewing began to gain and
came TO the winning post we'll ahead of
McDowell, who was so chagrined at the
result that he began to find excuses and
said he had tripped and stumbled, or
otherwise he would have won. Ewing
smiled aud said: "Well, if you are not
satisfied, let US try again." They did
run again, and Mcdowell was beat
worse than before. Other sports and |
trials were made. Standing jumps, |
jumps, shoulder stone-throw-
ing, the ak and the mail, in all which |
Mr.. Ewing proved his superiority, and |
finally the high jump over stretch |
ed string was tried, but on which Mr..
Z. made no attempt until Mr.. Mellow
ELL, who proved the best at this exer-
rise, challenged him to Cheat that"
Ewing replied. "Well, let US see your
best" and when Med. was done, f.
had the judges put the string four inches
higher, and stepping back few feet, he
came at il with a curious sidelong swing |
md motion, and over he went amid the
cheers OF the crowd.-CotUD.6ns (O)

BEAUTIFYING YARDs.-Now is the
time to arrange grounds, and put out
hardy bulbs such as Crocuses, Tulips,
Lilies. HyacInths, and Crown Imperials
for spring flowers. But in ordering
them, usless you have fortune TO use
in this way, don't get the high-priced
named bulbs, which are in most in
stances no better for practical use than
the older cheap varieties. Order the
different colors-as blue, yellow, red,
white, clouded, etc.-of good size and
you will be more apt to be satisfied, at
moderate prices. This, too, is the best
way in ordering all kinds of flowers
and seeds. Floriculturists, by hybrid
izing, have q system of making money
by obtaining new varieties, to which
they give names and glowing descrip-
tions, that perfectly bewilder the mex
perienced.
Make the beds or mounds for bulbs
of rich mellow earth. and plant them
from one to two inches deep, according
to size. Then in the spring, about the
time of planting corn, sow seeds of
snowy annual flowers, such as continue
a long time in the poisoning stage, in
a warm rich bed, shading it from the
hot sun, and sprinkling il with water in
dry weather, to keep il moist, until the
SSSOS SOuO UP aA0 SC1 AOOl-AOAus
When the bulbs are about done bios
soming, transplant the ANIMALS, and put
them in the same bed; and the yard
will glow with beauty till the frosts of
autumn. The Process will keep the
bulb-beds free from weeds, and the
bulbs will be in good condition to BIOS
som again the next spring, without
much care or attention. "A covering of
manure in the fall, however. will act
fivorably. just pursue q common
sense method, and there is no more
trouble in raising fine flowers, especial
ly from bulbs, than in growing good
potatoes. Ample yards for recreation,
adorned with flowers, greatly promote
the union, refinement aud happiness of
