Miniature Irrigation.

Frequently persons have but limited
space, but a plenty of time to attend to
a few vines. such Is c~ucumbers. melons.
strawberries, ETC., which by care a be
made very productive. and some little
device for suitable irrigation will pro-
duce magical results. An old barrel,
which will hold water and which is not
saturated with any agent injurious tn
vegetation. set down in the ground, the
top level with the surface. Is q pio;ifc
place L plant a hill Of cucumbers. Fill
the barrel half full with boulders, peb-
bles and gravel. then hll up the balance
with strong. weIl-rotted manure and
rich soil. well mixed. Plant your Gu
cumbers in this, and keep the barrel
half full Of water. OF to the top of the
rocks and sravel, and more cucumbers
can be raised from this than from q
quarter Of an acre of ordinary soil
parched by the sun IN! winds Of our
summers. The same is the case with
melons. Another good way is to make
a rich mellow hill. by spading in rich
anu eighteen inches deep and three
feet wide. In the center of this hill set
n tight nail keg. boring a row OF gimlet
holes close to the bottom all round.
Fill it half full Of rich manure. Plant 4
row of melons all round this key three
or four inches from IL. When the
melons are up and begin TO grow thrift
lily turn a pail Of water daily into the
key and let it pass through the manure
out through the gimiet holes, being
careful to have the holes just below the
surface of the ground. In this way we
have raised more melons from M hill
than in forty Of ordinary field culture.
There is another simple continuance
which viii pay. II you have a few rare
strawberry plants, snd every a can
and should have. take your useless
empty oyster cans and punch a small
hole through the bottom. close TO one
side. Set il at the side OF your straw
berry plant Fill every day. or twice
. day, apd let the water escape slowly
through the hole to the roots Of the
strawberry. and you viii see such NJ r
ders in berries as you read OF in the
papers.
All of these things need an abun-
dance OF water II al hours during our
dry. hot winds. and by the simple but
cheap devices rich results can be At
tained. In cities where they have the
advantage of water works . pipe with
small holes al along il for the water to
escape can be buried along . row OF
strawberries. and il can be regulated .

SOiling Stock.

A writer in n recent number of the
Mich Zctfung, on the danger To German
agriculture from foreign competition.
says that his own experience of fifty
years has taught him that regular soil
ing Of cattle is BIS. for the farmer and
for his fields. bringing in greater profit
and maintaining the fertility Of the land
~ n higher point; that twice as much
fodder can be produced on a given sur
face when the forage plant is allowed
to grow rs a cultivated crop and reach
a certain degree OF maturity than when.
rs in pasture. it is continually cropped
off and trodden down. He believes.
as do all the best German writers on
the subject. that the most successful
system of agriculture, in the long run.
is that in which a large quantity of
stock is kept and fed well, and a care
full rotation of crops is followed. in
which the same crop is V put twice
in succession on the same land. The
soiling system makes il easier TO carry
ont the second part of this programme,
and the great variety of crops that can
be raised on a long rotation provides \
greater variety of fodder for the stock;
so that these two features of the best
modern agricultural practice work adj
mirably together. The soiling system
provides a more uniform ration in
respect to quantity and avoids much
loss of manure. 1t may be pretty safe
ly affirmed that the droppings Of cattle
in the pasture are more than half
wasted by drying in the sun. OF by too
strong dosing with manure in isolated
spots, here and there. Where land is
cheap and abundant. and cannot be
protitably cultivated and carried up to
a high degree of fertility, rasturage
over a large portion of the farm may be
allowed; but when high farming pays
pasturc-land is q poor investment and
may eat up a large part of the profits
from the cultivated fields. Michigan

Fire in Newhallville.


 A Paper shot Shell ManufactOry Burned
 Loss 9s,OOO-Insuramce S5,OOO.
 At 9:25 o'clock last evening an alarm of fire was given from box 521, corner of New hall and Division streets To the call the fire department responded promptly. but they found it hard work to drag the engines and hose carts through the mud, and the faithful horses were nearly tired out before they reached the scene of confiagration. Chief Hendrick, who balanced himself on hose cart, was obliged to get of and walk, in order to reach the fire before it exhausted itself. He was on hand in time, however, and on reaching the burning building, which proved to be the paper cartridge shell shop of A. l.. Howard & Go. on Brewster street, near the Northampton Railroad company's track, soon had stream of water on the burning building, which was effectual so far as it intercepted the spread of the flames. When the hook and ladder company reached the scene they were directed to pull down a shed that connected the burning building with an adjacent barn, and this they did in s'double uuick' time. Then the chief direct ed his attention to another wood building in close proximity to the fire, which was kept wet by the single stream and thereby saved from burning The water, which was brought from long distance, was not sufdi- cient, however, to save the main building and it was entirely destroyed, together with con- siderable machinery, quantity of stock, en- zine, boiler, &c. From information gained from MT. Howard, the senior member of the firm, it was learned that there was 8 fire under the engine, but that it was s'banked." The fire originated in the southwest corner of the building directly over the boiler, and al- though there was coating of brick and ce- ment around the boiler, it would appear that it either ignited from the boiler fire or was the effect of spontaneous combustion. MT. Howard'said he was in bed and asleep when 8 young man stopped at his house on Brewster street and inquired if anyone was in the shop. He replied that there was not. Then, said the young man, your shop is on fire. As quick as possible he was at the spot and found the statement to be true. MT. Howard estim ates his loss on stock, building and ma- chinery, which was total loss, at $8 ,OO0, on which there was an insurance of $5,OOO in the office of Gardner Morse. He said that 8 short time ago he was offered $4 900 cash for a half interest in the business.

The Steam Carpet Beating and Feathe Renovatfng Establishment.


 There is no article of household furniture that requires more care in cleaning, in order to keep it's colors in it's pristine beauty and the fabric free from the accumulations of dust and gritty substances which are, through friction in contact with the foot, etc.. the sole cause of it's eventual destruction, than the carpet. The old system of wooden beaters, always destructive and more or less ineffect- ual, has long since been abandoned, and inst- | tutions have grown into existence, based upon this special business, in which skill, ex- perience and extensive machinery are invest ed, whereby carpets are thoroughly and scientifically renovated without the slightest injury to the material. The best concern of f this kind in this State is the Steam Carpet Beating establishment, of which R. Rounds | is proprietor, whose works are located at 56 High street. Carpets of every grade and fabric are here thoroughly cleansed from all I dust, vermin and moth, and made to look as good as new, without the slightest injury to the material. Everything that care, skill and science can accomplish for their preservation | and renovation is secured at this establish ment at very small cost, and by the perfect
 manner in which MT. Rounds does this work
 he has gained large and steady patronage throughout the city and vicinity.
 \ MT. Augustus A. Balls iron railing works
 at 16 Audubon street have becoPe deserved ly famous in this section as headquarters in
 this department of business. MT. Ball has furnished work in his line for many of the finest public and private buildingsin this part | of the State.

 there few that be saved 7? And He said unto them, strive to enter in at the gate, for many | will seek to enter in and shall not be able D The speaker drew vivid picture of the ut
 terly helpless condition of man without divine aid aud the absolute necessity of CO., I operating with God in order to obtain saliva
 tion and reach heaven at last. Work was es-
 sential All must strive earnestly, faithfully
 and continuously, this and nothing less will
