Irrigating Crops.

Many gardeners during the last few
years have been erecting private water
works to irrigate their''hot-beds and part
of their fields To do much in this line
requires very large supply of water.
A good wind mill and large tank will
do to supply the barn, house and hot
beds, if an untaiing source is at hand
from which t. pump. But W. ere mucl.
is to be done with field irrigation tn.
steam pump is the chief dependence.
A large supply of water may be had o.
many apparently dry locations by sink
ing driven wells. or boring into the
rock till plentiful supply is obtained
1t is astonishing how much water cal,
be obtained in this way by using lit
tie enterprise to get at it. The amount
of power required to pump water is no
so great as many would suppose. A
five horse power engine will give az
abundant supply for almost any farm
unless the water must be lifted con
siderable height,
The crops for which water is Otter
needed, and which can not be mad,
certainly profitable without IRRIGATION
are lettuce. cucumbers, caul flowers
cabbage, celery, onions and strawberries
1t often pays vel to water tomatoes ano
beans in dry time when water is a
hand, and it is often essential t. bring
upseeds of lettuce, spinach, etc, in dry
weather.

CreamerleS.

The concentration Of butter making
by the creamery system is growing
steadily more popular. For several rea.
sons this system of butter making can
not fail to gain in popularity as it be.
comes better understood. There have
been several failures in attempts to es-
tablish creameries, but this is the result
which is connected with all enterprises
that are new and but imperfectly under
stood by those engaging in them.
A creamery is being talked of by
several of our most enterprising farm
ers, who have the example and exper-
fence of the successful creameries that
are in operation in Chester and Lancas-
ter counties.
There is no better section of country
in which to establish paying creameries
than that scope of unsurpassed grass
and pasture land, the rolling, billy
country of the 9th, 7th and 9Th districts
of this county. The grasses of this
region are of the sweetest and most nu-
tHtious quality, producing the finest of
beef and butter. Where dairy farming
is practiced the farmers are forehanded,
and generally "well fxed," having
handsome, productive farms, with good
buildings; and an air of thrift and neat
ness pervades every thing. Those por-
tions of the farm devoted to grain or
other cultivated crops are always pro-
ductive, half the number of acres pro.
ducing as much as the broad fields of
the persistent grain farmer, who tolls
necessarily, early and late, to till large
areas, of indiferently prepared, and
lightly fertilized land The pillow farm
err labors under constant strain and
expense in the wear and breakage of
implements, machinery and horse flesh,
which the dairy farmer, in a great
measure escapes.
There has been great advance mace
in dairy farming since the creamery has
been introduced. And recent improved
methods have made the creamery more
advantageous to the patrons of the cream
cry, by collecting the cream and leav-
ing the skim-milk ON the farms, which
can be turned to considerable profit in
feeding calves and pigs. By this latter
process Of collecting, the cream alone is
gathered by wagons from the creamery,
which drive to the farms, where the
cream is raised in some of the numer-
Gus patent creamers which are being
introduced extensively among advanced
farmers. We hope to see ere another
year passes one or more creameries es-
tablished in the upper part of Cecil

The Central Deal,

tral Railroad deal is as much of myste:.
ry here as it seems to be in Savannah and
Augusta. lunched with party of
gentlemen to-day who are largely inter:
ested in the stock. The recent course OF
the market, the present price of the stock,
and the probable contest in the coming
election made subjects of conversation;
Every man seemed bent on learning all
he could, and telling as little as possible.
MY own impression after listening atten.
lively is about to this effect: The next
President of the Central Railroad OF
Georgia, is, up to date, a decidedly "un'
known quantity" Gen. Alexander.s
friends says he will not run unless his
election is absolutely assured. Unless
positive control of all stock held here can
be secured in his interest, l do not see
how such assurance can be given. Mrs.
Hettie Green, with her 6,70O shares, is
said to be uncommitted as yet. She
knows the value of proxies in close
elections, and is not likely to throw hers
away. There are three or four parties
here claiming to control the stock which
has of late months come to New York.
I think the truth in regard to this is thai
each party controls some, and neither OF
them all. Green e. Bateman will no
doubt vote large block, but they are
not saying openly yet who is their candl'
date. The Moses Taylor estate votes
about $500 shares, which will 60 for

to say, but the stock will 60 much higher
