EFFLCr W lRuiu AIIoN.--lu n report ii a
meeting of All Eillish farmers club, in tho
Mdrk Lane Err ress, We find the following de-
scription uf "A no, oil method Oi irrigating sheep
pasture: "Mr. Coleman has laien up the pro-
posal of Mr.. Isaac Blown, OF Edinburgh, aud
placed some forty acres Of his park under y new
irrigation system. lead pipes, perforated with
small holes, arc latl In parallel lines, sixteen
yards apart, and twelve-hOrse power engine
pumps At night from the lake into these pipes,
when an Artificial rain Is thiOwn over an area
of an acre and half, ten tons Of water being
enjected in fifteen minutes; and plots are taken
in succession until the whole area OF six acres
is irrigated during the night. On land thus
truated, growth Of grass half an inch to one
inch per day can be Obtained; and with novel
system Of folding, also introduced at Stoke
Park, the large number Of sixty-six fatting
sheep per acre may be fed. The folding 10
which we refer Is done by means OF a double
Of hurdles, maze In the form Of a chera,ir de
frise stretching across the pasture, with seven
yards between the rows. These hurdles, with
three feet prongs, ale advanced four times per
day, and the sheep feeding between the prOngs,
and with ample room for movement, have at
all times an abundance OF strong, fresh, and
excellent heritage, Lever foul their food, and
walk and lie only on what they have alread y
cropped. 1t Is claimed that whereas under the
ordinary system the forty acres Of Stoke Park
pasture would he overdone with $50 sheep, un-
der this double system 0f Irrigation and folding

TRAdhsY AT ST. LoUIS.-Further deyalOp-
ments regarding the murder of Richard Bot
techer by Is. F. Glonnebolk, on Tuesday, are
to the effect that Bottec'ier had seduced Miss
Cronnebolk ; that their marriage was favored
by Mrs. Cronnebolk ON this account, and thst
Cr"nncholk murdered Bcttecher to avenge the
wrong done his sister. Botleeher was thirty
live years Of age. Miss Crounebolk is only
sixteen and her brother twenty-five. The de-
talls Of the tragedy are given as follows

MIR. Pell's corn is as great acuriosity as his
orchard. 1t has been measured eighteen feet
high, and has elded $50 bushels shelled corn
70 the acre, while other farmers were complain
ing Of the lightness OF their crops. Mr.. Pell
explains this very philosophically He tells
me that the leaves of corn, being very broad,
are meant to inhale the gases floating in the at
mosphere. Hence this plant should be driven
forward as rapidly as possible, in order to get
this gaseous food al an early part of the sea-
sou. To accomplish this end the land must be
manfred in lavish manner.
When corn is planted on poor land, acco rd
ing to this theory, it has TO send It's roots far and
near in order to fluid food, and hence its devel
opment is checked. Mr.. Pcll's corn has small
roots, relatively speaking, and the expanse o
| tops enables him 10 make 1t profitable crol
when land is worth $500 perac re.

The AYRSHIRE Cow.-Formeriy, farming
was 80 poor In Scotland, tina. in the Spring the
people bled their cattle 10 get blood to mix with
a lillle Oat meal. So much ofthe land was wet
and swampy that but little could be cultivated
Wheat was seldom grown except on arhle-
man estate, and large portion of the country
was as much in common as are the Western
plans. And yet III" grass was nch and alum
uant and 50 1t came to pass, between 1850 and
loUO, the celebrated Ayrshire COW grew out of
this distress. That is To say some family, 81 r.ly
pressed ior the means 10 sustain life, had COW
which shey cared for bnth Winter and SUNNI r
with the greatest attention; she was driven 10
the richest anu thickrSt grass, she was housed
IN Winter with the children and fed from the
carefully stored hay, and above all, she was
MIXED till the last possible drop was obtained.
From kindness, good feed and close milking, a

the noble obtained some of the stock, and the

TILE DRAINING.-We doubt II tile draining
Is as popular in this state now as il was ten
years ago, but, according to the Indianna Farm,
RI, they are rushing in some part, Of that State:
"Ihe farmers in johnson County have test
ed the advantages OF tile-drainng fer ten years
past. ID. W. Brewer, of Whiteland, Informs
US that live ts-factories, within as many miles
OF that place, have been unable to supply the
demand for tng the past season. He has great
faith in the advantage of tile-draining, and
claims that the increase in the yield in one sea.
son will pay all the expenses Of putting in the
tile. lie is decidedly Of the opinion that "A
farmer would be Justified in mortgaging his
farm, II necessary, To raise the money to pay for
iiling his fields. Especially is this true in re-
gard to flat, heavy lands. His best corn the
present year was raised on land that would not
have produced ten bushels to the acre except
for the tiling. This land produced an average
OF sixty bushels of good, well filled, sound corn,
this Summer, although ii was not planted tin
the 10th OF Mag, and plowed but three times
There is yet a large amount OF land, in the
best cultivated districts, undrained, and We sug-
gest that there is great profit In putting in
drains OF some kind, and that The work should
not be delayed"

is the Importance Of having milking well and
properly done. Cows should be put IN to son,r
secure place To milk, either in the barn ora
shed expressly for that purpose, with GOA
ventilation for walm weather. The praet1ee
of milking cows running loose in the yard is
nconvenient and disagreeable; neither can il
be done as cleaniy as In stanchions; nor will
they do as well out-ofdoors, where they are
the greater part OF the season leased by fies.-
There should be as much uniformity in the
hours OF milking as possible. Before COM
mencing to milk, the udder should be entirely
clean and each mixer should milk the same
cows through the season and in the same order.
Harsh treatment should never be tolerated for
cows that are not well treated will noe give so
great flow of milk as when used gently.
