THOSE hypercritical individuals who have found fault with the practice of styling General Harrison president-elect vote can now rest easy. General Harri- son is now actually president-elect, and nothing but death or sickness can inter fere with his inauguration on the 4th of next month.

Pleasant Surprises.

The members of the Rebekah Degree |.
o. o. +. have long been known for their
hospitality and generosity, and it seems to
be virtue that Is growing in its nature for
their works of benevOlence and charity are
on the increase. At the social given i'm
their hall a few weeks ago for the benefit of
Miss Crandall they realized twelve dollars
which was presented to that worthy young
lady. But their deeds are not all told i'm
their charitable acts. They have way of
getting up surprise that is peculiar to Odd
fellows wives, and none can realize IL more
than Sister Brooks, on Adams street, for
they had found out that Feb. was her
birthday, and when they filed into her house
that evening TO the number of so or go she
fully realized what Rebekah surprise was.
After spending the hours i'm social en-
joyment, they left behind them splendid
chamber set, which was appreciated by the
surprised sister. Not content with this
mark of fraternal regard, on Tuesday
evening, at the close of the lodge meeting,
in body, they all went to the central school
house and surprised Bro. Archie Robertson
to celebrate his birthday. He says the
next time he is invited up to Burt Wiclling's
room 10y Bro. Brooks he shall expect that
there is another surprise in store for him,
as he was enticed there this time in order
that the members who had attended the
lodge might get to his home before he az
rived at home. We can imagine his sur
prise as he stepped into the door to find the
same faces that he had so recently left in
the lodge room. A splendid easy rocking
chair was also there in waiting for him
which he accepted very gracefully. After
partaking of a bountiful supper all left for
home, feeling thankful that they belonged
TO such a noble band of sisters and brothers.

ate impulses lead him into unprecedented
crimes of jealous rage, and whose sufferings

unusual crops. Even under the slip-shod
Mexican system of cultivation from forty
to fifty bushels of wheat and sixty to
eighty bushels of oats is but fair aver
age crop. Such crops are the result OF a
combination-strong land, warm climate,
water under control, and intelligent culti-
vation.
Among the practical advantages ofirri-
CATION, the control it gives of the season
to the cultivator is not the least. One
need not wait for a rain to put the ground
in condition to plow and plant. 1t may
be done at any time, and only two or
three days are necessary for distributing
the water and giving it time to settle
away and put the soil in just the condi-
ton required. At the various stages OF
plant growth the water can be supplied
at will, to suit the requirements of the
plant. When the harvest is completed
not day need be wasted for rain. W tn
in two or three days again the ground
may be in perfect condition for re-plant-
ing In the lower latitude from three to
six crops may be raised from the same
ground in a season. ConstantcultivatiO
keeps the ground clear from weeds, al
though if land is neglected weeds grow as
luxurantly under irrigation as the useful
plants. Crop failures from drouth need
never occur.-American Economist.

Results of Irrigation.

The results obtained under irrigation
are almost beyond belief A large Cali
fornia firm has $4,000 head of stock feed
ing the year around on 10000 acres of
alfalfa. OF this grass, in Southern New
Mexico, four crops of three tons each, or
twelve tons per acre, havefrequently been
cut, yielding when fed to cattle at the
stack more than $40 per ton. Five cut
tings are otter made, and fields, hundreds
of acres in extent, yield from four to eight
tons to the acre, according to the care
bestowed, at three or four cuttings. It is
more than half net profit. Orchard pro-
ducts yield large crops every season, and
the fruit sometimes sells on the tree as
high as $500 and $500 per acre, an aver
age production often realizing as much
as 5000 per acre. Grapes yield from
twenty to forty pounds to the vine, 700
vines to the acre, and sell at from to10
cents pound on the Rio Grande. Twenty
thousand pounds of sweet potatoes per
acre and $4,000 pounds OF beets are not

able to say that we have now machine
that will make tile of any size called for
out of either clay or cement and sand, in
sections of ten inches in length, with ends
beveled into each other and formed by a
turning process which makes them fit SO
close as to keep out sand and yet let suf-
ficient water pass in or out.
The machine is cheap, portable and
works with light power, thus making it
practicable to make tile in any neighbor-
hood to answer it's wants and thus saving
transportation. A good strong cement
tile of sizes suitable for laterals will not
exceed $10 per 1000 feet; larger sizes
about one centper inch diameter per foot.
If laid eightfeet apart twill require {, 500
feet per acre; if six feet apart about7 900
feet per acre.
AS for water supply it will not be sue
cessfully disputed that Florida affords in
her lakes and underground stratum of
water SO near the surface, which makes
facilities for irrigation cheaper than any
other country. A few feet lift of the water
is all that is required. Upon millions of
acres flowing water can be obtained for
the purpose; or small outlay for wind
mill, or one or two-horse steam boiler
and pump costing about $3.50, will
answer the purpose.
Florida's long growing seasons, varied
products and possible markets offer a
prospective compensationune any
where else in the world,
If say five acres or more of land were
improved as above described the cost of
water supply and all should not exceed
5000 per acre, and if far1ned on the inten-
sive system 81, cooper acre netper annum
would be low estimate Would not this
be practicable? If SO, why not do it?
am preparing to lay down piece of
land with this system of improvement
and plant and cultivate it this winter, to
see what can be done upon it. Shall then
be able to givefacts and figures.
When we can make the products of
Florida showup on par with her climate,
then we may look for boom that will
come to stay. They say Florida lands
are poor and need fertilizing. What of
that? The best lands in the world get
poor in few years if cultivated and not
fertilized, and will need as much fertilizing
as Florida land; it is only question OF a
few years. But then Florida land, what
there is of it, is Of such character that
it can never wear out. 1t will be as good
in a hundred years as it is now, and for
that reason it is the most reliable land in
the world to make improvement on, es-
pecially if that improvement can be such
as to guarantee against failure when we

the road wishes to know the response
bilities and risks assumed BY each of the
contracting parties, and frequently ex-
plantations must be given at considerable
length and with patient courtesy. John
Smith must have fund of information at
hand ready to dispense to all inquirers.
He must be good accountant and legible
penman. He must not spare his strength
when heavy articles of freight are to be
handled. He must treat women and
children with kindness and respect. and be
able to throw drunken loafer out of the
door. He must, in short, center within
himself combination OF qualities useful in
many and varying emergencies.
The programme that has been sketched re-
fers to the ordinary schedule routine, when
everything moves in regular order. If
there is an accident or other untoward oc-
currence, there are new duties, and in
creased vigilance is demanded. But John
Smith is expected to show himself equal
to the emergency, and he usually succeeds
in doing so.
1t may be said that the station agent has
an astonishing capacity for work and en-
durance This is undoubtedly true: but it
is also true that the nature of his duties
tends to develop such capacity. Brain
work is constantly demanded, and there is
always the possibility of something unfore-
seen occurring. Hence the station agent is
under certain stimulus that cannot exist
when only the physical energies are brought
into requisition. His life is not without its
pleasant features; the probabilities are that
he enjoys large business and social ac-
quaintance and has plenty of friends. His
opinions are much sought, and he answers
more questions in day than anybody in
the village, except the postmaster and school
teacher.
Good luck to the station agentl He is
part of system that links States together
and annihilates distances If ambitious,
there may be future before him. The cor
poration that employs him may not have a
soul, but it has sharp eve for its own in
terests; hence the day may come when Pike
vile will know John Smith no more. He
will be wanted elsewhere, if he is good
man. WILLIS KENYON.
