r.. Howard.

f.. Howard.
The remains OF General Volney II
Howard were inferred yesterday IN tht
Fort Hill Cemetery; amidst impressive
cerem onies.
On the early train to Santa Monica
the pgll-bearers, consisting of Hon: 5
M. White, Judge A. w. Hutton, Hon
r. F. Del Vale, Colonel Geo. ii. Smith
, Colonel G. Wiley Wells, General John
Mansfield, Judge j. d. Bicknell and
Judge 7. Brosseau went to the deceased's
late residence and escorted the body on
it's Journey here. When the mourners re-
turned at II O'Clock they were met at the
'Wolfskill depot by large delegation
of members of the bar and friends of the
deceased, and procession was formed
D the Episcopal Church, where the last
services we're held, DIR. Judd officiating,
and the proceedings opened with the
beautiful hymns "Nearer My God to
Thee Crock of Ages" and "Thy Will
be Done" Then the reverend gentle
man preached the funeral sermon and
delivered most impressive and eloquent
discourse. He alluded to the fact that
he was with General Howard dur
ing his last illness, and spoke
OF how patiently and molly the
brave gentleman passed his last mo-
ments. The Doctor concluded with a
eulogy On the high character of the de-
ceased, which, he said, furnished a pat
tern that the rising generation would do
we'll to follow.
The services being over, the casket
containing the remains was placed in the
vestibule and last look at the peace
full face of the dead General
was sorrowfully taken by his mourning
friends. The procession to the cemetery
was one of the most imposing spectacles
that have been on the Streets for some
time, the hearse being followed by a
mile-long procession of friends of the
deceased.

An Accident on the santa Barbara
Division.

An Accident on the SANTA bafDara
Division.
The Santa Barbara train, due in this
city at 3 is P. NJ. yesterday, was detained
forty minutes by an accident up the road.
The train was running between Santa
Paula and Ventura, and, on approach
ing one of the crossings, the engineer
saw man driving two-horse team
laden with lumber, preparing to cross
the track. He gave the customary warn
ing whistle, and this threw
the teamster into state of
indecision, the result being that he and
his outfit were caught on the rails. One
of the horses was killed, but the wagner
escaped with broken arm, an instance
of man being lucky in ill-luck for he
was lifted completely out of his seat by
the locomotive. Beyond the jar caused
by the collision, there were no bad results
to the occupants of the train.

Another advantage of the Marsh sys-
TEN is that it affords perfect drainage
and airation of the ground, both of which
are quite important. In fact, thissystem
seems to be the nearest to perfection of
anything yet introduced. If it's advan-
tages could be secured at moderate
outlay, it would be very popular, espec-
tally for vegetables AS regards trees it
seems probable that their roots would
soon fill the supply basins, and thus
make them comparatively useless.
Hoping that this brief synopsis of the
very important subject OF irrigation may
have some value, especially in showing
what not to do, will conclude with the
suggestion that if the ground be abund-
antly supplied with decaying vegetable
matter and, also, be heavily mulched, ir-
rigation by pipe and hose will undoubt
cdly be found to be the most practical,
economical and advantageous for the
majority of Florida cultivators, and the
steam pump the most satisfactory power
by which to raise the water and give it
the requisite force of delivery, while on
many soils the watering pipes should be
supplemented by tile drains, so laid that
they could be flushed occasionally.

each can get water in but one direction,
and that at some distance from the tree,
| was somewhat surprised to note their
condition. AS they get larger, they will
probably receive more benefit from the
water supply but it would seem to be a
more perfect and effective system if some
means could be devised by which the
water could be spread over more surface,
instead of wetting only one narrow spot
and then sinking below the reach of the
roots. Of course, capillary attraction
will distribute it some, but not to the
extent desired. The supply of water can
be shut off at any time by cocks near the
main pipes and at the well.
The cost of putting down these wells is
comparatively light | think the price
for putting down one and three-fourths
inch well, and warranting good flow,
is $75; a three-inch pipe, $3.50 per foot,
and a four-inch pipe $3. .5Operfoot. These
figures were obtained some months ago,
but are the present ones so far as know.

that amount of water. 1t has no pump
ing gear to wear out, and requires no
engineering but to keep up steam,
With iron pipes, by throwing the pressure
on the pipes, no tank is required. A stand
pipe may be used, the height of which
will govern the pressure. Ii sub-irTiga-
tion is used, throw the pressure directly
into the main.
With this pump, the heat of the steam
is taken up by the water raised, raising
the temperature several degrees. With
sub-irrigation, this would be a great ben
eft for winter gardening. If we could
utilize the heat first for motive power to
raise the water, and next to warm the
ground to grow such crops as cucumbers
and Strawberries, it would certainly pay
well for the wood consumed This meth
cd would also be advantageous in case OF
heavy frost. H. q. Young.

No Bad Effects From Artesian Water.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
The bad effect produced on plants from
the use of artesian water as reported
about the State, have as yet to see.
During the recent spell of dry weather,
lasting nearly ten weeks, on our extensive
grounds had the artesian water running
constantly from dozen hydrants, with
marked benefit and with no perceptible
bad effect. Certainly no artificial means
OF watering can compare with natural
rainfall, and my LIES experience has
taught me that plants are lost far more
frequently from inadequate means of pass
ing water off than from the supply, how
ever plentiful. What we want in watering
plants is, not only an abundant supply,
but absolute control of it.

A PiersOn Irrigating Plant.

In your promised special notice of the
subject of irrigation for Florida, | hope
you will favor us with as complete an eu-
cidation of the Cole system of sub-irriga-
tion as you can give, showing it's merits
and demerits, with cost.
We have an irrigating plant near Pier
son, laid down by Mr.. Kinney, on ten
acres of grove planted last year. 1t con
sists of windmill to draw water from a
well, and three tanks connected with the
mill by one-inch iron pipes, laid about
100 feet apart, with stand pipes the same
distance from each other, and hose at
tachment with fifty feet of three-fourth
inch hose, to be used for distributing
water. The plant cost about 5000. The
manager says it furnished plenty of water
to apply around the small trees during
the drouth this spring. To distribute the
water, it requires two men one day, once
or twice a week, for five acres. From
what | have seen offs action, 1 think
that this size pipe would furnish but a
small portion of the water required by
bearing grove, while the cost of distribu-
ting would amount to quite sum. The
cost of the windmill and one 75-barrel
tank would be about $780, | would sug-
gest that the steam pump Aqueduct
would be better than the windmill. A
pump and two-horse boiler that will lift
1,5OO gallons per hour thirty feet high
can beput up for 5000. l think two
horse boiler will lift two or three times

The Belair System of Irrigation.

4uO OC4d1 OyOCCm VI 4AAAS dO4OA.
In reply to an inquiry, in the Sanford
Mascotte, about the Belair system of irri-
CATION, Mr.. H. S. Sanford, Jr., furnishes
the Mascotte with the following in eress-
ing description of the above system
The area irrigated is fifty acres, more
or less, of orange and lemon trees-seed-
lings and budded, both on sweet and sour
stock. The water is supplied through a
four inch main, from which at distances
of four rows apart, that is about every
hundred feet, two One-inch corporation
cocks supply an inch and half pipe.
There extends at right angles from the
main distance of about one hundred
feet an inch and quarter pipe, which it.
self passes into an inch pipe, the proper
tionate lengths of either size used being
equal At convenient distances attach
ments for hose are placed, and from these
the trees are watered. All the pipes are
laid in trenches q foot deep.
The water is drawn to the pump from
lake up fifteen feet, vertical, the engine
being on the highest point of the grove,
and the pressure in the pipe is between
twenty and twenty-five pounds. Between
forty and fifty thousand gallons are used
per diem, from seventy five to one ehundred
and fifty gallons being supplied each tree.
There is tank with capacity of twenty
thousand gallons also in use, elevated
forty odd feet above the mean level of the
grove, and into this the pump forces any
excess Of water. Two objects are accom-
plished by 1.-THE pressure in the mains
is kept steady and supply of water is
always on hand in case of need.
The first cost of such irrigation is not
large, and the value of it is demonstrated
At Belair the lemon trees are putting forth
blooms and making wood. There is no
sign of red spiders, and the trees have un-
excelled vitality. And this is of prime con-
sequence, for parasites are as much the
effect as the cause of bad health and are,
as are the generality of microbes for man,
powerless against perfect health.
Where irrigation is practiced all unnat-
ural dropping of fruit set is prevented
and the effects of that autumn drouth,
which Coming after the rains) causes the
fruit to split, are avoided.
So valuable has irrigation proved itself
that l unhesitatingly affirm that the ex-
tensions to the irrigating system put in
this year-ten thousand feet tof pipe and a
tank-have paid for their cost over and
over again.
The benefits are easily catalogled. First
there is the danger by drouth avoided
and much of that disease due to insects.
Then any fertilizer applied near to the
tree is carried far below the surface by the
water, thus resulting in great economy
of ammonia. And then there is the con.
troll Of the trees acquired, by which they
can be forced, as in the case of lem IONS, to
meet an early market. Were it advisable
this could be done with the oranges also.
