Irrigation In Gardening.

1t is surprising to me that so few
of our market gardeners and growers
of small fruits adopt measures. for ir-
rigating their grounds in times of de-
ficiency of rain. The cost of wind
engines and water pipes is much lower
than in former years, and the expense
of apparatus would hardly exceed the
losses sustained in single season of
drought like the present, in the fail
ure of crops of vegetables or fruits, or
the cost of watering by hand. Two
or three acres of strawberries, for in
stance, would be more than doubled in
yield. and the profits at last trebled,
in d dry season by .irrigation-for
prices are always high at such times
and this grain would almost pay the
cost of the apparatus in a single sea-
son. So it is with such vegetables as
lettuce, celery, cabbage and cauli
flower !; on majority Of soils and in
most seasons the yield and quality of
these crops may be nearly doubled by
frequent and timely irrigation-in fact,
celery and caulifower can hardly be
grown at all without some source of
water supply in addition to that form
rains, and hence only few gardeners
grow then with any profit. In some
localities there are springs that with
out much expense can be utilized for
irrigation by means of pipes, etc. (.
and occasionally water can be conduc-
ted from q creek or mill pond into a
low field or garden patch of bottom
land. In the majority ofcases, how
ever, resort must be had to wells and
machinery for pumping water, such
as is afforded by the wind engines, of
which there are half a dozen or more
different forms ard patents. l am
not writing in the interest of any OF
these nor do I know enough about
them to speak of their comparative
merits. ! only know that several OF
them are good and reliable, and that
their cost is not dear Practical

BE We Like Foolish.

"For ten years my wife was confined
to her bed with such complication OF
ailments that no doctor could tell what
was the matter or cure her, and used
up small f,rtune in humbug stuff.
Six months ago I saw u. s. flag with
Hap Bitters on it. and / thought 1
would be a fool once more. I tried it.
but my folly proved to be wisdom.
Two bottles cured her; she is now as
well and strong as any mans wife.
and it cost me only two dollars. Be
ye likewise foolish. ."-H. W., Detroit,
