Irrigation on a Small Scale.

An Augusta gentleman has been putting
in practice on small. scale, his ideas on
irrigation, with very satisfactory results.
The first of the summer, in common with
his neighbors, he planted garden. When
the drouth struck. the garden soon began
to dry up. On the premises is man.
moth cistern the level of which is consid-
erably higher than that of the garden.
Connecting hose with this water supply
the garden was thoroughly irrigated daily
during the dry weather. The result Of this
has been that the growing plants have -four
ished wonderfully, and furnished the gen.
tleman's family with all the vegetables
needed for table use, while other gardens
have proved failures.
Farmers and gardeners should if possi-
BILE have piece of land, even il the area
is not large. the soil of which they can
keep, by means of an artesian-well, a
pump operated by wind power, a cistern,
or spring whose outlet is tolerably ele-
waited, thoroughly moist at all times if
necessary.
During seasons of severe and protracted
drought like the present one, this irrigated
land will be found of great value. 1t can
be made to produce large crops of garden
vegetables, which will be fresh and deli
cious when those that are not supplied
with water will be stringy and shriveled.
Land that is irrigated will produce excel
lent cabbage and cauliflower. For pro-
ducing late cucumbers for picking there
is nothing like irrigated land. Radishes
as crisp and delicious as those pro-
duced early in the season can
be raised on such land dur
ing August and September. To grow
strawberries in perfection it is Necessary to
have the soil where the vines are planted
well supplied with water whether there is
rain or not. If strawberry vines are fur
nished with water every two or three days,
they will grow very fast and be very pro-
ductive. BY allowing them to rest few
days after they have produced the first
crop and then supplying them with moist
ure at stated intervals. they will generally
blossom again and produce second crop
of fruit. An acre of irrigated land will
keep family well supplied with fine fruits
and vegetables during the usual season
of drouth and afford many articles that
can be sold in the market TO excellent ad-
vaetage On many farms an amount OF
water runs to waste that could handily be
made to irrigate an acre or more of land.
