WATER FOR CROPS.

More and more attention is being given
TO the need OF supplying plenty of water
to growing plants. The importance of
water Is shown by the fact that plants
contain from seventy-eight to eighty-five.
ana IN some instances, as high as ninety.
hve per cent. of water, showing than
water is by far the most important con.
stituent of their growth. The plant dur.
ing growth is constantly cyaporatino
water through its leaves, stems, and M
every pore, and the surface soil is piyipo
OIL water in vapOr all the time The
quantity of water required by growing
crop IS simply immense. If water fails
TO be supplied the growth is checked and
finally comes TO a standstill. and then tbe
plants begin to wilt and dry up. II has
been caculated that the production of one
pound OF wheat requires the cvaporution
oi seven hundred or eight hundred
pounds Of water during the growth Of
the plants. A German scientist found
that the production Of two and fourth
pounds OF barley required the evaporation
~ one hundred and filty-fye GALLONS of
water. Such q consumption of wafer
would require a rainfall of about siy
inches. Two tons Of hay per acre would
represent a rainfall of eleven inches. II
the rainfall is deficient fun crop will
not be obtained unless some means are
provided to artiicially supply water. Bv
providing an artificial supply of water to
be used when needed abundant crops
can be secured every year In many in
stances brooks or streams Of water might
be turned aside and conducted along side
hills and used to supply the farm crops
with water when needed. Or if there be
no brooks that could be used fo- the pur-
pose, well with a windmill and pump
could be used to irrigate six or eight
acres. .-Pl0ugimaa.

POND LILIES FOR THE LAWN.

One of the most beautiful lawn orna-
ments, says writer in the New York
Tribune, is tank of white pond lilies
(Nymphea odorata). An excavation is
made in the earth, round, square or any
geometrical figure to suit the fancy, and
the bottom and sides are walled and
cemented, leaving clear depth of three
feet. Into this is placed foot and a
half of black or dark sediment from tho
bottom of some pond or sluggish stream.
The lily roots are laid on this and another
six inches of the same sediment on top {;
boards are then covered over all and
weighed down, and the tank filed with
rain water. At the end OF two weeks the
weights and boards are removed. As
the water evaporates more is added,
keeping the tank full all the time. This
should be done about May l in the
latitude of New York. When in bloom
it is beauty pure white blossoms send
ing their delicious fragrance all about.

DIP For snEEP.

Arsenic is not desirable material for
a sheep dip TO destroy scab mites or ticks
1t is dangerous to the sheep and the men
who dip them. A better dip is made Of
one pound of coarse tobacco or the stems
stepped in boiling water, but not boiled,
along with four ounces of sulphur for
each gallon of water. When reduced to
120 degrees by slow cooling, being COW
cred up meanwhile, it is ready for use.
Fifty gallons will be enough for fifty
sheep if tank no larger than is necessary
to take in the sheep is used, and five or
ten gallons is kept hot to replenish the
liquid as it is used.

REMEDY FOR THE WHITE GRUB.

The use of benzinc has been found
effcctual in France in destroying the
white grubs 0ho larvae of the May or dor
bug), which often do immense damage,
especially in dry seasons, to lawns, straw
berry plants, seeding plants and other
nursery stock. Holes are made in the
ground infested with the grubs with one
Of the sharp iron dibbles used sometimes
in transplanting small plants, and the
benzine is poured into them. Fifty
grains of benzine are used to the square
yard, and care is taken to insert it above
the plane of the feeding ground of the
grubs. In an experiment recently made
by one of the French forest officers, and
reported at a meeting of the National
Agricultural Society, the grubs on twelve
acres were destroyed at cost of only
SO. 30 per acre.

GIVE TIE CHILDREN A GARDEN.

Each child ought to have his or her
separate plot of ground and plenty Of
latitude given the young amateurs in
its management and culture. Nothing
strengthens weak, timid child so much
as placing him in position of response
bility. Let him know and feel that
much, if not all, depends upon himself.
This, take it, is a lesson which all must
learn, and the sooner the teaching is
begun the better. Besides, a children's
garden need not incur much expense

A Horse Resurrection.

A case of horse resurrection has come
to light in Newburg, n. Y. A horse
died, apparently, on a Thursday, and
was buried beneath a pile of rubbish
until an equine undertaken could be
summoned to remove it to the bone fac
tory. On the following Saturday removal
was attempted. A rope was fastened to
the animal, and on the first pull it arose
to its feet and frished its tail. Now the
equine is seen drawing garbage on the
streets Chicago Herald.

Buying a Farm.

Baltimore American.
To one hungry would say: Go slow.
Buy within your means and have some lit
tie money to spare. A man owning land
can always get credit. because his land can
not get away. To the one having few
thousands of dollars and not much farm
and go to raising big corn and cabbage, |
would say:. Put your money In some good
savings bank and hire out to some thorough
going, Woodworking farmer for year or
two, and more practical, common-sense
knowledge will be gained than by reading
what others have done for years, and after
serving such an apprenticeship, and still
anxious to farm, you will know what kind
of a farm you want. One of the best kinds
of farms to own is grass farm. Grass land,
In Holland such farm sells for 81 900 per
acre and over, in England from $500 to $500
per acre, and in our own country such land
is eagerly sought after, and when once got
ten is held tightly. Grass holds fertility;
it grows the season through. Even in win
ter it's roots reach out and gather in the
ammonia contained in the snow and rain.
Grow all the grass you can, and keep as
much land covered as possible, is the secret
Of retaining fertility on the farm:
Men with large means can purchase what
suits their fancy, and can buy what stock
and implements they desire, even il prices
are high. 1t is pleasure for them to do SO.
and even If they should spend fOolishly
III
deserving laboring men are helped and the
neighborhood is better for their presence
and enterprise.
At present land is low, but it will not
continue so. The vast emigration to the
West has taken up most of the land suita-
BILE for agricultural purposes. and the tide
will set in toward our State and those
States south of us before the year is out
Those that can buy for themselves few
sorry they did SC, and those owning large
tracts that they cannot work at profit,
and that hang like a milestone about their
necks, should devise means to. attract
worthy men to buy and settle in their
midst, and thus help to make part of their
land more valuable than the whole was
formerly. Maryland has one of the most
healthful climates and soil suited to grow
almost any crop, and thousand of acres that
can be bought extremely low. We have
many good, prosperous farmers, and we
want many more of the same kind.

Thorough Preparation for Spring Planting.

Thorough Preparation for Spring Planting.
st. Louis Republic.
There is no work of more Importance
with the spring crops than that of thor
ough preparation of the soil before planting
the seed, and especially is this the case
with cultivated crops.
1t is much easier to prepare the soil in a
thoroughly good condition before planting
the seed than afterward. 1t is an item with
cultivated crops to begin the cultivation

than after they. get good start to grow.
In majority of cases If the soil Is rough
and cloddy, the work of cqltivating must

tion can begin with the harrow, and this
will aid materially to get the soil in good

With most spring crops it is an item to

much the best yield, but at the same time
early cultivation is necessary in order to
get a strong, vigorous growth; and the soil
must be well prepared before planting. in
order to make it possible to begin cultiva-

the planting day or two, and spend the
time in the work of preparation than to
plant the seed and depend upon working
the soil into good filth afterwards.
The soil ought not to be disturbed until
after it is sufficiently dried out to work in

best. Among the newspapers of the State it is
prominently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the way of
State and local news. 1t circulates largely in
every county in Indiana, and has correspondents
in every town and village of importance. Its
market reports are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense are spared
to make them accurate and absolutely reliable.

comparison with any of its contemporaries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Re
publican, should be without the Journal While
it is thoroughly and soundly Republican in poll

party, the JOURNAL will not allow its news to be
colored by partisan bias. but will give the news

Owing to the prominence of Indiana in the
next administration, the JOURNAL will give par
ticular attention to Washington news, which
Win be given far more completely than ever be-
fore. For this reason if for no other, no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the next
four years.
In addition to its new features. the JOURNAL
regales its readers with the productions of some

Transplanting Large Trees.

The time is now, if any one contemplates
transplantng large trees. From long and
careful experience we have found it can
only be safely done when the ground is
frozen. Dig trench around the tree in the
frozen ground from one to three feet from
as it is frozen, and then with lever or 9th
er device raise the tree with the frozen soil
attached, and carefully slip whatNew Eng
land men would call a stone boat under the
tree and clump of frozen earth, and haul
A hole for it, of course. should have been
dug little longer and deeper than the
clump of earth and roots. Let the tree be
set the same side to the sun it originally
stood. Then FIJI up with loose dirt and wet
it to thin mortar so that it will run under
and around the clump so as to fill all the
holes sOlidly. Brace the tree to keep from
swaying in the wind. There is no trouble
or doubt in transplanting any sized tree.
