AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
GARDEN GOSSIP.
Some Hints on the Management of the
 Garden-Drainage and Cultivation.

Garden-Drafnage ana Cultivation.
 Good cultivation-the mulch of pull verized soil-helps vegetation someN nat to at least live through the terrible ordeal, but that is about all. Now, if we had river, pond, reservoir above us (as some people have without ever thinking of utilizing it)-some body of water that we could tap and conduct the moisture which refuses to come from above into the gardens and fields through a system of underground tile laid twelve or fifteen inches deep and closely enough together so that the whole ground would receive thorough soaking from below!
 There are opportunities for arranging 0 garden in this manner on large per centage of our farms, especially where the country is rolling. Why are they not made use of? Would this net add new interest as well as increased profit to our garden work? By the light of my own somewhat limited experience in irrigation take the following as lead ing principles in the arrangement:
 1. Every line of tile must be laid with a slight and steady fall towards the lower end.
 9. The tile is to be pretty large where the water is first admitted, and gradually reduced to small size.
 3. The only outlet for the water is by leakage through the joints of tile, the extreme lower ends all being closed up.
 4. The water must be admitted in full volume, flooding the tile, not in a

sort of dribbling, trickling way. This is especially necessary on very porous soil.
 5. If the high places are irrigated thoroughly, the low ones will pretty much take care of themselves.
 6. The surface must be kept well cultivated at all times, especially so soon after irrigation.
 Before arranging the tile in any sys- tenn the confguration of the land has to be consulted. For instance, if we have a piece of land as shown in Fig. l, very slightly and evenly sloping from A B, which is the highest level, to the lowest level, c D, and water supply can be secured at E, we might lay the tiles in sort of fan system, with branches all running directly down towards the foot of the piece.
 For piece with considerable slope. a different counsellor instance, the one shown in Fig. 2-would be better. Here again we have the highest level in tho limo A B, and the lowest in the line c D. The tile is arranged in a serpen- tine or zigzag line, beginning with four or flve-inch tile at E, and ending in two inch tile with end closed. A study of the Hay of the land" and the exercise of a little common sense, will readily suggest the proper and simplest method of arranging the tile.
 In estimating the cost of such an ar rangement, you will get down to the chief expense when you figure out the amount and cost of the tile required for it. Digging the ditches is not so very expensive, as they are so shallow, and most of the work can be done by horse- power. But think what a nice thing 1t is to have even small garden arranged in such way! Water whether 1t rains or not, and vegetables in greatest luxuri-

The Use of Linseed Meal.

Linseed meal is highly nitrogenous, but contains large proportion of the carbonaceous elements also. and for that reason should not be fed too heavily to hens that are liable to be- come fat. It is an invigorating food for hens that are moulting or debilitated, and also for growing stock, 1t promotes digestion, and assists In forming new feathers when the old feathers are being replaced by tho new. 4 gill of linseed meal, three times a week. to ten hens, Is ample, as too much is not beneficial.

DEVELOPING COLTS.
A system of Feeding and Care That will
 Make Good Horses.

Make Good Horses.
 From that colt you are to get the fut- ure horse. If you intend to build a house you must get foundation first We saw men the other day putting great heavy timbers under the house of friend of ours. We asked him what he intended to do, and he said that he found that the foundation was good for nothing, and that he must put new one in. That is precisely the way some men attempt to "build" horse. They neglect the foun. dation. They neglect to keep the bones and muscles growing, and we can not put new foundation under horse as a man can put one under his house.
 If the foundation of the horse is faulty, 1t will never be repaired. We have known colts that never got any thing in the shape of grain but corn, and corn Is no more fit for colt as steady diet than candy is for a child. The colt and all young animals should have sweet, tender hay and such grain as oats in winter. This sort of feed ing will develop the system. The ami nal should not be kept in ill-venti' lated stables, nor compelled to stand in manure, and the old and oft-re- peated advice to begin "breaking' the colt early is always in ordor-WesterD Rural.

Rye as a Fertilizer.

Prof. Budd, of Iowa, is reported to have said at one of the recent conven- tions. Even turning under dry rye straw or any thing to make vegetable mold in the soil Is of more value than most commercial fertilizers" An Ohio farmer made the statement that 'one of the best and cheapest fertilizers is rye, plowed under as soon as the heads appear" He had used it for number of years with the best results. Mir. Haywood, of New York, said he had re- peatedly brought up poor pieces of ground by sowing rye; and about June l, or just before the heads appeared, turning it under; then sowing corn and turning that under. The next year he could grow almost any thing on that land.-N. Y. World.
