CUCUMBER CULTURE.

Although cucumbers are pronounced by
physicians to be very unhealthy, yet it is
very generally cultivated; and, in fact, no
Kitchen garden can be complete without it,
1t usually sells for a good price in market
and l, for one, am very fond of it, especially
in the form of pickles, if these are put up as
they should be.
MY mode of culture is to dig out goud
sized holes, six feet apart each way, and
place about one peck of well-rotted manure
in each; then fill up somewhat higher than
the original surface, so that after the dirt
settles it will be about level with the sur
rounding ground, and plant eight or ten
seeds in each hill. If very dry, give them
sprnklng each evening after sunset, before
they come up as well as through the sea-
son, for they are plants which require con-
siderable moisture. l hoe often, and after
danger from the striped bug is passed, thin
to four plants in hill.
The striped bug, Dabrotica vittata. seems
to be natural enemy of the cucumber, and
against him l have tried all sorts of reme-
dies which | have seen recommended.

are effectual preventatives, but if one has
many hills, devices of tlGs sort are expen-
sive. The last season kept vines free from
bugs by the use of ashes and kerosene. |

piled handful to the centre of each hill 1t
seemed TO spread to strong an odor tor
them and they beat retreat. After COM
mencing to bear, we look them over every
day and gather some for pickles, saving
few of the earliest and most perfect ones for
seed, and when they are ripe we pick them
on and place them in the sun few days;
then the seed is taken out, washed clean,
dried and put in paper bags for the mex t

THE HISTORY AND HONE OF LUCERN.

Lucern is a deep-rooting perennial, indi-
genous to the south of Europe, and has
been naturaliZed in the south of England,
as it has in some parts of the United States.
A bushel OF the seed is set down at sixty
pounds weight, and numbering 1900 seeds
per ounce. 1t is reckoned by the English
among the artificial grasses, as are all the
clovers, though technically they are not
grasses at all. The elovers, called "artific-
ial grasses comprise trifolium, lotus. me-
dicago, onobrychis and melilotus.
Lucern was highly valued by the old Ro-
mans, and is of unknown antiquity in Spain,
Italy and the south of France. 1t is cultiyat-
ed in Peru, and is mown for cattle feed all
the year round. 1t has never been regard
ed as successful in Great Britain, any more
than it has in the United States. 1t is men
toned by the Oldest agricultural writers of
England, among whom are Hartlib, Blythe
and others. 1t is called alfalfa in South
America. For forty years, since the writer
began to read agricultural papers, discus
sions on the Importance of cultvating lu-
cern, as farm crop, have been common
and earnest, yet there are relatively few
among the numerous readers of the Country
Gentleman, who have ever seen a good crop
of lucern growing. 1t must be an attractive
forage plant, judging from a plate of it in
the report of the Department of Agriculture
for 1882. ...-
Prof. w. III. Brewer, of the Shelf
field School in New Haven, says of it in the
Botany of California - In cultivation it is
a most valuable forage plant for warm, dry
regions; the root penetrates to the depth of
eight or ten feet, and may endure many
years. The heritage is very nutritious, and
yields several crops annually in some parts
of the State where il grows and blooms
through the year" There is no difference
between the English and German lucern
and the Spanish and ChiliaR alfalfa. There
fore, let US call this plant by the good old
English name rather than by the Spanish
name, alfalfa. The botanist of the Depart
menU OF Agriculture says: "Lt belongs to
the family OF clovers, growing to the height
of two to four feet, with an upright, smooth
stem, branched, with an abundance of ter

ular breed as far as we could learn. They
were mostly dark colored fowls, their only
weak point being their dark and sometimes
slightly teathered legs. They were immense
as winter layers. and as hatchers and moth
ers they would have been hard to beat.
However, this rather light colored skin and
dark legs and beaks were fashionable in the
eyes of farmers and others selling live poul-
try, and for that reason this cross is not to
be recommended.
Light Brahmas and any medium sized
fowl are suitable for general purposes. We
have crossed this fowl with several other
breeds and the common fowls and have
never failed to get good, practical, every
day fowl. They were in every case good
winter layers and usually good hatchers,
too. Occasionally hen or pullet would be
found that was as strictly non-sitter as
any Leghorn or Hamburg. But while, e
we only wanted eggs and flesh for market,
we might go on crossing, we would, if we
owned farm, keep some breed in its puri-
ty, as we could then have the fancier's
pleasures as well as his profits.

HINTS ON IRRIGATING.

The management of field in irrigating
is matter that requires some good judg-
ment. Many of our Montana farmers are
in the habit of plowing deep bitches at in
tervals across their fields from which they
turn the water. But in harvest time those
bitches are such hndrance to the reaper
that they have to be filled. In digging to
fill them considerable grain is destroyed
and a good deal of time consumed. With
the large bitches, however, a better head Of
water can be had and probably the land can
be flooded quicker, yet it is believed by many
farmers that it is better to make only few
of the large cross or "feed" bitches, and
from them run single burrows, say from
twenty to thirty feet apart in which, to lead
the water. Where the field is level or de-
scends gently, considerable time may be
saved by the latter management. The large
bitches may be made from 300 to 400 yards
apart, and lett to remain permanently.
From them the furrows may be run in such
direction as will enable the irrigator to
flood the high and low places alike. The
single burrows Will not Interfere Win une
harvester machine and the ''lands' in har-
vesting may be made between the large
bitches. An expert hand at irrigating can
flood large area of ground ia day with
the bitches constructed on the latter plan.
He does not have large head of water to
manage at any place, but by the use of good
Judgment he can keep the water moving all
the time. He has only to open the burrows
and turn the water in, and to watch and
shut off the water when it has covered the
area designed for it. There is usually time
TO attend to this. If he has good supply
of water he may arrange to have the water

SOME FAMOUS LAYERS.

ers, we must say that none have equaled the
laying record OF some of the many crosses
we have made This is nothing strange as
the row life that such crosses gave to the
fowls should be shown in their extra proif-
lcness. This has been our pleasing results
of each cross, almost regardless of what
material is used in the formation of the
fowls, and according to our experiments
the good effects did not cease with the first
cross as most writers assert that it will but
was fully as strong in the chicks reared from
these cross fowls as in the first progeny.
And even when these crosses were used to
cross again with common fowls or with
other pure breeds, the results were about

Some were quite large, too; one, we re-

they were usually about the size OF Brown

be, and as large as Houdan eggs.
These hens crossed with Plymouth Rocks

had very nearly disappeared, showing
only in few specimens, and very lightly at
that. few feathers at the base of the
skull and slight bifurcation of the hind
toe were all the external traces of Houdan
blood, but the eggs showed plainly, and the
fowls when cooked showed by the fine quail
ity of flesh that the French fowl blood was
still alive. Some of these fowls, left to
themselves on farm near by, soon reverted
to the ietty black of the first cross. The
blood appeared to be very strong. We

HOW TO MAKE A BED.

Says the Philadelphia Press: sT.et eyery
bed-maker, as soon as all the covers are
spread, turn down the upper sheet, and all
above it, leaving generous margin below
the bolster. Some people, you know, null
all the covers straight up to the top and Law
the bolster upon them, so that when bedtime
comes the bed must be rearranged at the
head. Boys don't like this way, and per-
haps some other folks don't, either. 1t is
the custom to pile two big, square pillows
on the top Of the bolster, and then put on
two pillew-shams, and thea sometimes, or
perhaps before the pillow-shams, sheet
sham. This is setting a trap for the unwa-
ry. Only remarkably careful woman is
equal to the task of getting off all the
'hnery' properly. Why not almost, if not
altogether, abolish shams of all kinds? Wby
not honestly take off the big, square pillow
and supply every bed with a comfortable
bolster to take the place of pillows? If Won

THE ADVANTAGE OF IRRIGATION

we nave often alluded to the great ad-
vantage Montana farmers have over those
OF the States in being able to irrigate their
1lelds. Still there are those in our midst
who are short-sighted enough to look upon
Ii as being an expensive necessity ana a
drawback to Montana farming. This is a
grave mistake. The most learned agrcul-
turists of the land fully coincide with us
that the country that is possessed with facil-
ltles for irrigation, has a grand advantage
over those that have not. Prot. w. j. Beal.
OF the Michigan Agricultural College, says
"lrrigation has often been attended with
surprising results, converting lean, hun
cry meadow into an oasis.''
Sinclair long ago truthfuly said: "Irri-
CATION is the easiest. cheapest, most certain
mode OF improving poor land, especially
that OF dry and gravelly nature The
land is thus put into state of perpetual
fertility, without any occasion for manure"
The late j. S. Gould told the farmers of
Connecticut if they would sow many differ
ent kinds OF grass and then irrigate the land
they would have seven or eight times the
of grass they then had Solon Rob-
lnson thought that the rivers OF Connecticut
would do more good in irrigation than in
turning all the wheels of the State.
After experimenting even in moist Eng
land, Mr. Pusey said in the journal of the
Royal Agricultural Society " for 1849. that
the money spent in irrigating grass land
yielded a profit of 80 per cent. All water
is weak liquid manure, and the warmer
the better, if heated by the sun only. A
water meadow is the triumph of agricultur-
al art. Dry, light soils are most beneficial,
clay soils least .....
Prof. j. Buckman says: "By irrigation
the list of grasses changes; bad grasses
will nearly all die out or greatly improve
in quality, whilst many good ones, few in
number before, rapidly increase. Again,
such weeds as plantain, bubous crow-to ot,
tinger grass, and many others. give place to
grow tn of grasses"
Montana may well feel proud of the natll-
raj facilities possessed in this direction, and
we believe the superiority of our crops and
ease with which the fertility of our soil is |
is as much due to the fact that
our fields are irrigated as to the superiority |
)t our soil.

spreading from four or five turrows at the
same time. The great point in irrigating
held is the laying out the bitches. This
should be done with the utmost care, as
much may be saved by thus arranging tor
the speedy control of the water. In making
the feed bitches they should be placed in
direction so that the water will not run
too rapid and cut their banks, and the same
precautlen should be taken with the smaller

HERE is no question but alfalfa will
