VN.n,erine HsIants,

Furnishing the needed supply of water for
any groat number Of plants artiGcally, I'M
less il can be supplied by irrigation, is
greater Undertaking than every one is aware
An acre contains %, $50 square feet. An
inch Of water frequently falls in single show
or. This is oue.twelflh Of cubic foot.
Consequently one inch Of rain would give
one-twelfth Of 49, $50 in cubic feet, or $3.50.
A cubic foot of water weighs G2l pounds,
and $500 multiplied by G2i gives 22G, $50,
the number OF pounds Of rain falling on on
aero for each inch OF rainfall IL there was
an abundant supply OF water within easy ac-
cess, aud it waa possible TO draw II to the
field and distribute il over the surface with
anything approaching the evenness of tho
rainfall, il would require a stout team and tho
labor of man at least two weeks to supply
an acre with water equivalent 10 one inch Of
rain. 1t would take nearly 10 days to supply
such quantity from pipe discharging wa
ter at the rate of 800 pounds An hour.
The average monthly rainfall il here about
3G5 inches 10 draw and distribute on an
acre a quantity of water equal to the average
monthly rainfall, according TO the estimate
previously made, would require the labor of
a man and team more than seven weeks. 1t
would take a pipe discharging water at the
rate of 500 pounds an hour 60 days to supply
it. 1t will be seen from these estimates how
poor substitute for the rain is water car
riod by hand in pals.

THE HOUSEHOLD.


There is truth in the saying that 'some
women can throw out with a spoon more
than man can carry in With a shovel" 1t
il the little leak that drains the ciateTn. So
in the kitchen, where the bread ia wasted,
the drippngs thrown out, aud dishes soaked
with grease or wantonly disfgured or smash
ed, the butter wasted for the want of little
care and the bread overbaked or burned be-
cause twas only little and did not matter.
This has been the cause of many poor
mans lot, and We would appeal to the girls
to acquire the art of saving while learning
domestic tactics at home. II you should
marry rich you should also save for the poor
and it is no disgrace. Save the scraps Of
bread, the erusts, and dry them il not want
ed for immediate use, and use them for pud-
dings and stuflings; and where crumbs are
wanted soak them in cold water for the for
mer, and pound them in a mortar for the lat
ter. Cleanse all drippings by Swimming
them of when cold into a kettle of hot wa
ter, stirring brisky, and when cold take off
again and render.
must tell you of a family that lived Just
beyond my fathers house, who wasted them
selves poor by slackness outside and in.
There were in the family six girls, who did
little but eat. The father was good natured
and lazy, and the mother was discouraged.
Ihey hhu lTm OF 81 hcres ana little by
little it was mortgaged until il nearly reach
ed its value They raised some crops every
year and several hogs kept four COWS and
poultry, but it took more than every dollar
to feed and clOthe them. There was waste
inside and out, and finally they sold out with
barely enough left to take them to Wiseon
sin and the man that purchased the place
had family of five and laid by $500 every
year, besides his improving his land and cd
uoating his children. The old proverb
Waste not, want not, is true az the sun
and the sooner one acquires the habit Of
economy, the better it is for them. The idel
of too much bother is only a symptom of la
ziness, and sit is not more than cent
worth, any way" must not be allowed foot
hold, for if it is, it will lead to all sorts Of
waste, and sap the purse in various unac
countable ways. Cor Mirror and Farmer.

There appears to be little ground for hope
that tho potato bug nuisance will not contin-
geseveral years longer. In the early part of
the season the bugs were not quite as plenty
az usual-soms fields were uninjured by
them till after blossoming; but of late they
have appeared in great numbers. There are
also few il any fields that they would not ut
terly destroy il left to themselves. 1t is said
that in few localities at the west they have
become nearly extinct. II this ia true, il in
dictates that in time they may run their course
and disappear, but perhaps not soon enough
to benefit elderly farmers.

How French Women Dress.

The chief point to note about the
dress of a Partisan woman, no matter
what her station in life may be, Is it's
appropriateness. She does not wear
rs costly garments usually AZ the
American OF the same sociaii class, but
they are always thoroughly suitable
to her position and to the occasionon
which they are to be worn. A French
elegante, for instance, will neither 90.
shopping in a velvet costume nor to-
wedding or official reception in a cloth
Jacket or cashmere gown. She never
goes out on foot in superb and snowy
apparel, or appears at a ball in adark
silk made high in the neck and with
long sleeves. Etiquette foRbids her re-
ceiving even the most intimate of her
gentlemen friends In her morning dress,
though this rule has been relaxed of
late in favor of the very superb morn.
ing toilets of brocade and satin and
lace, which have been concocted for
morning wear by the Leading Partisan
dressmakers. These, however, are
simply reception toilets for morning
instead Of for afternoon wear. III she
desires 10 60 out on foot she dons the
simplest ofcostumes in dark cloth or
cashmere. Her purse or her desiScs
may make it and the same may be
said of the dress in which she receives
callers on her at "at-home" day. Her
theater bonnet much more snowy and
dressy than her visiting one. For
street wear she dons a bonnet of very
dark velvet OF felt. In the matter Of
gloves and chaussure she is always ir-
reproachable. For evening dress the
satin slippers and silk stockings pre-
cisely match the toilet with whichthey
are to be worn. There was an attempt
made at one time to introduce the
wearing of scarlet hose and black slip
pers with white evening dresses, but it
proved a total failure. Neither were
black slippers and stockings over worn
in Paris with white or pale tinted ball
dresses. Thatfashion was not French;
it was possibly English, and unfortun.
ately it was American.

A Lively Partisan Tragedy.

Paris is excited over ahorrible boulevard

fer. They uuarreled, and, during the shop
saa,sr,s absence from the place OF business,
candray called on Nine. Bessier and with

An adjourned meeting OF sympathixers
with Louis Riel was held at Jacques Cartier
Hall square,, Quebec, at which about 5000
were present. The meeting was addressed
by III. j.. Pelletier, secretary OF the com
mittee and by other French Canadian
gentlemen. Owen Murphy, ex-mayor OF
Quebec, also spoke. He compared the
cause OF the half-breeds to that Of the Irish,
who, 1.-THE proper appeal were made, would,
he said, readily give the half-breeds their
support. The following resolution was
then adopted: Resolved, That in view Of
the fact that all British subjectssy ho are ac-
cused OF criminal offenses are entitled to q
complete and impartial trial, and to at
tain that end considerable sums, must be

up. as the half breeds have not the means
to attain that end.
Jurymen for the Riel trial have been Sc
lected from among the white settlers along
the line OF the Canadian Pacific railway.
Half-breeds and other sympathizers OF Riel
are objecting becauss the jury viii not be
mixed. The trial will certainly begin on the
goth inst. Hon. William McDougall, who
! ranks high as q constitutional lawyer, In a
| communication to the Ottawa papers, ex-
presses doubts OF the validity OF a court
trial Of Riel as at present constituted, and
| contends that a stipendiary magistrate OF
the Northwest territories has not power
without the issue OF q special commission
from the crown. The indictment is also
considered irregular.
The franchise act OF the dominion is kind

pendent Indians to vote and excludes tens

general average between two and three
points or from sixty-two TO nearly sixty

Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and
some ofthe southern states. In Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri there has
been improvement as well as California
and Oregon. The winter wheat region
which does not include the territories
now promise about 215, 000, 900 bushels.
The condition OF spring wheat continues

ed slightly, the average being nearly ninety
SIX. The indications now point to a crop
Of about las, 000, 900 for Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Nebraska and all other territories
and northern New England. This makes
an aggregate OF $50, 000, 600 bushels.
The immense corn area OF last year has
apparently been increased about 6 per cent.
or at least 1000, 600, making an aggregate
OF A 1000. 900 acres. The largest increase
is in the Missouri valley. The condition OF
corn is higher than in any year since 1880
except the last. 1t average "a against SO
in 1884. 1t is highest in the South, and
higher on the Atlantic coast than in the
West. The Kansas average is SO; Michigan
and Missouri, 81; Wisconsin, SO; and Ne
braska, 81 per cent. The average of win
ter rye has increased from 73 to 81 since
the LIST of June. The general average for
oats is 81 in place of 80 last month. Oats
have shared with all the cereals in the inn
provement OF the month. The only states
below 80 are New Jersey, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and
California. The condition ofbarley averages
90; Of tobacco, 90 percent.
