Irrigation on a Small Scale.

On farms where there Is an artesian
well, pump operated by wind power.
or q spring whose outlet is tolerably ele-
waited 1t will be found quite easy to irri-
gate a piece of land of the extent Of an
acre or more. During seasons Of severe
and protracted drought this irrigated
land will be found of great value. It
can be made to produce large crops Of
garden vegetables. which will be fresh
and delicious when those that are not
supplied with water will be stringy and
shriveled. Celery plants are generally
placed in rows at about the time the
dry. hot weather commences. and very
many Of them fail to grow. BY having
means to irrigate the land celery may be
made sure crop and very superior
article produced. Land that Is irrigated
will also produce excellent cabbage and
caulifower. For producing late Gu
cumbers for picking there Is nothing
like irrigated land. Radishes as crisp
and delicious as those produced early In
the season can be raised on irrigated
land during August and September.
To grow strawberries in perfection It
is necessary to have the soil where the
vine are planted we'll supplied with wa
ter whether there Is rain or not. II
strawberry vines are supplied with wa
ter every two or three days, they win
grow very fast and be very productive.
By allowing them to rest . few days
after they have produced the first crop
and then supplying them with moisture
at stated intervals, they viii generally
blossom again and produce q second
crop of fruit An acre of irrigated land
will keep q family well supplied with
fine fruits and vegetables during the
usual season Of drought and afford ma
ny articles that can be sold In the mar
ket to excellent advantage. On many
farms an amount Of water runs to waste
that could be made to irrigate an acre
or more of land.

sold 49, 900 tons, but this year the
sale will reach 10000 tons. The most
extensive orders come from railroad
companies, which are obliged to
fence their track. One man has the
contract to erect 1000 miles of wire
fence on the West Shore road, and
1900 miles of similar fence will be
made this year. What Is now wanted
is durable posts, and efforts are
being made to obtain a cheap,

The wire fence like many other in

much needed relief since the search
ty of timber renders the former
method too expensive to say nothing
of its perishable nature.

The Old Maid and the CRYING Baby.

Some people can never hear children
cry without emotions that do credit to
their kindness of heart. The lamenta-
tions of extreme infancy excite their
sympathy under all circumstances.
There are others whose sensibilities are
less human, and who do not hesitate to
utter even profane speech when dis
turbed by the notes Of the little MINISTRIES
of the crib ard cradle. An elderly
spinster lady reproached a mother for
bringing her babe, who was in the early
stages Of teething, where its fretting
would annoy strangers.
"You forget" replied the pious mat
ron, meekly. shat Christ said, Suffer
little children to come unto me. for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven
That's just it." snappishly added the
spinster; '.if your baby was only in
Heaven, l shouldn't complain. "--Brook-

Materials for Bedding.

Materials for bedding horses and cat.
tie kept In stables are becoming scarce
and high in many parts of the country,
as they have been for long time in
most European countries. The value
Of straw is better appreciated than il
formerly was, and more of it is used in
the manufacture of paper. In some
parts of Europe the straw employed for
bedding horses is washed after 1t has
been used for that purpose and is sold
to paper manufacturers. Recently saw
dust, sand, peat, and dried clay have
been employed as substitutes for straw
for bedding horses and dairy cows. At
tention has also been called to the differ
ent kinds of MOSES that grow in many
parts of the country. That growing on
trees in many parts Of the south is found
to be very superior article, and seems
to answer all the requirements. It is
cheap, easily obtained, clean, and an
excellent absorber of urine. When sat
urated with this substance and placed
in heaps it rots readily and makes a
good fertilizer. The moss found in
boys in all the northern states and
which is used by nurserymen for pack
ing trees and bushes is also found to
make very good bedding after it is
dried. All kinds of moss can be CON-
pressed into very small bulk by the bal
ing process. and put in a form to be
readily and cheaply transported. A
Frenchman draws attention to the use
of calcined earth as litter. He covers
some branches with clay, sets them on
fire, and the earth is baked. 1t must
then be kept under shed to prevent
absorption by humidity. In the cal
cined form. the absorbent power of clay
is naturally augmented. In that state
it is better fitted also to make gases. It
is more suitable for a sheep than q cat
tie shed, and when employed In the lat
ter case a slight sprinkling Of straw will
be an improvement. The best litter is
that which will absorb most urine. Ac-
cording to Boussingault, bean, buck
wheat, and pulse straws are first as
they absorb three times their weight of
liquid; wheat straw, but twice its weight,
and dried earth, but one-half.

How Long Should Grain Remain in the
Stack Before it is Threshed.

Certainly not less than four weeks,
and six would be better. 1t is impoS.
sible to thresh grain clean when it is
in the sweat, because rs the straw is
wet and tough and the kernels will
not shell out of the ears or heads of
the grain besides the quality of the
grain will not be so good. Never
suffer stack of grain to be disturbed
by the threshers while it is in the
sweat. The moisture soon gathers
after the grain is stacked, but it re-
quires Il good deal of time for the
grain to become perfectly dry, so that
it can be threshed clearly and thor
OF course every farmer is
in "a hurry to get his grain threshed
as early in the fall as possible, but 1t
is good economy to let it remain in
the stack at least four weeks, and it
would be all the better to let it re-
main six before the services of the
are summoned.

A python, an Asiatic boa construct
or belonging to Coles show, escaped
from their boxes Monday. The
keeper started after them with a
prong, but before he could head them
off the python had strangled young
camel. 1t was driven into corner,
when Miss Jennie Hickey, the snake
charmer, appeared and attacked the
snake with whip. In moment the
monster jumped and enveloped her
form in not less than five coils. For.
tunately knife was near at hand

Umbrellas.

Benjamin Franklin used to say that it
took q wise man to carry an umbrella
when it didn't rain: any fool could car
ry one when it rained. He said nothing,
however, about the penalty paid by the
sages, when they started out with UNI
brellas and found afterward that these
articles were only membranes which
would either inconvenience the persons
carrying them or put premium upon
piccadiloes by being lost and tempting
others than the owners to take posses
sion of them.

TO MIR. AND MRS. FRANKLIN.

Friends, thy brows with sadness clowded,
Deepest sorrow fills thy heart,
For, from beloved daughter,
Thou hast now been cali cd to part.
Thou hast stood beside the cradle,
Where the baby Mary lay;
Thou hast stood beside the coffin
That contained her lifeiess clay.
And thy memory still may linger
Ger the years that past between,
How she won the love of many,
BY her quiet, gentle mein.
How she was to vice stranger;
Or her home the Joy and pride,
And I'm sickness never murmured,
, For on Jesus she relied.
As you stand beside the coffin,
As you look upon the pail,
To the heart there comes questions:
Can 1t be that this Is all?
OF that life so full of promise;
Prospects bright for future years,
Is there nuught but thus remaining,
This DER which we drop our tears
And the heart gives back the answer,
Think not that her life Is done,
Though from earth she's gone forever.
Her true life is just begun.
Though for her the May time blossoms
Never more ON earth shall bloom,
1t Is everlasting spring time,
In the land beyond tho tomb.
And she told Is there to meet her,
Where all pain and death Is DOR,
And thy daughter shall be waiting,
For you, on that peaceful shore.
