The Drought--What Shall Be Done
About Itf

When the potato vines begin to turn yell
low and die before the potatoes are III ore
than half grown; when the corn leaves roll
until they look like monstTous cigars when
the COWS come home from pasture almost
as hungry as they went out, and the moving
lands have evidently fallen into the sere, the
yellow leaf, all from a lack of rain, it is
enough to make one feel that we are behind
the times to take up paper and read of the
bounteous crops grown in sections where
they are not dependent upon rain, but irri-
gate their land.
Shall we be obliged to do this if we wish 10
make success of our farming? Must we
get windmills or steam engines to pump
water from the rivers, or from artesiau wells,
into tanks upon our hills and thence allow
it to trickle down over the hillsides, across
the plains and through the valleys until it
finds its level, to be again taken up and made
to do the same work again?
We may live to see this done in many parts
of New England. AT many points it could
be done, at so little cost that it might be
profitable, even upon ordinary farm crops,
while upon small fruits aud market garden
crops it would pay to do it even at consider
able cost.
Until this is done we can only keep the
soil frequently stirred among our hoed crops,
SO that it may absorb all that it can from the
atmosphere, and trust that rain will come
before our crops are totally destroyed
l believe in frequent cultivation and stir
ring of tho surface soil in q dry time Not
in deep working, but in keeping the top
finely pulverized, light and porous. Not
only does it absorb moisture from the dews
and the night air, but the fine earth acts even
rs mulch upon that which is beneath
Many farmers used to hold contrary opin-
ion, and say we must not hoe or cultivate
the cornfield or the garden during drought,
but this has been my custom for years and l
have seen no evil effects from it.
When the soil is well worked three or four
inches deep find the earth contains more
moisture below that depth than it does at the
same depth in the unstirred soil. Therefore
1 say, keep the cultivator and the hoe run
ming, and be sure that you leave no weeds
and no useless plants (what are weeds but
useless pants?) to suck up the moisture that
is needed for more important crops. - Young
Farmer in Boston Journal.

An exhibition Of dairy goods with prizes
for the best, in connection with agricultural
shows has been resorted to almost time out
of mind for the purpose of educating dairy
men in their art and of stimulating them to
a higher skill by the pride of distinction and
the hope of reward. So far as the exhibition
of dairy stock and dairy apparatus is con-
cerned, the exhibits in the dairy department
of such shows have been the means of doing
much good. The display of dairy apparatus
has been q very effective means of keeping
dairymen posted in regard to the latest and
most improved devices for the execution of
their work and for the improvement of their
products. In respect to stock and apparatus,
dairy shows may be catalogued with the act.
i've agencies for advancing the dairy interest;
but so far as the influence of displays and
prizes for dairy products, with the intent TO
level up the lower grades of manufacture to
approximate those of higher grades is con-
cerned, / question whether they will ever
pay for the ink and paper used in advertising
them. Tho mode of exhibiting and awarding
prizes precludes the possibility of any mate
rial benefit. The nature of dairy products is
such that they cannot, like stock and tools,
be judged OF by inspection with the eye only.
They must be touched aud tested to form any
correct idea OF the comparative inertia
privilege accorded to nobody but the judges.
Butter is 80 sensitive to atmospheric inhu-
ences that it cannot stand open at the show,
so it is kept closely covered. The judges
can look at the contents of the packages
the spectators can see only the packages.
How much information they will gain by
looking ct the outside of a lot of butter pack
