For squash pies it is only necessary
to oil the plate or tin and sift over it
evenly layer of Indian meal sufficient
ly thick to well cover the dish. Pour
the warm, seasoned squash carefully
over, and bake. The pieces can be
easily raised by means of broad pie
knife, the meal serving to keep the
squash from sticking to the plate.

quently met with, but they are seldom
utilized.
Some years ago we obtained good re-
suits by damming a little stream or
brook flowing by just above one
cighth-acre patch of celery, the rows
running with the natural slope of the
land and letting near the whole of this
water run along in little channels made
by the hoe between the rows, until the
whole ground had complete soaking.
1t took tons of water, but the result
was gratifying.
Ever since then we have been wishing
to prepare a piece of land for under
ground irrigation, in somewhat the same
way, as we find it described and illus
trated in a recent number of Drainage
ard Farm Journal.
The use of common drain tile from two
to three or four inches in size, says our
contemporary, affords a very convenient
and a successful method Of underground
irrigation.

NOT A NEW IDEA.
A Suggestion of the Photograph in a Sew

A Suggestion of the Photograph in a Sew
enteenth Century Fable.
The idea of the magnetic telegraph is
said to be certainly three hundred years
old. But the photograph was believed
to be comparatively a new notion.
Mary Somerville, indeed, predicted that
before the end of the present century
we should probably possess a means OF
recording and reproducing speech; but
the like connection turns out to be far
older than that.
In the middle of the seventeenth cent
ury NJ. de Bergerac,a well-known French
writer of his day, and a forerunner of
Jules Verne, published a fabulous &C
count of visit to the moon, which con-
tains an account of two mechanical
books left in a city of the moon by a
visitor from the sun. In opening one of
these books the narrator states that he
found somewhat of metal almost like
to our clocks, full of 1 know not what
little springs and imperceptible engines.
st was book, indeed, but strange
and wonderful book that had neither
leaves nor letters. In fine it was book
made wholly for the ears and not the
eyes, so that when any body has a mind
to read it he winds up that machine
with great many little springs; then
he turns his hand to the chapter which
he desires to hear and straight as from
che mouth of a man or musical instru-
ment proceed all the distinct and differ
ent sounds which the lunar grandees
make use of for expressing their
thoughts instead of language. l no
longer wondered that the young men of
that country were more knowing at six

The control of soil moisture, by stor-

time of excessive rainfall for use at a
subsequent drought, is a problem that
has long occupied the minds of good
cultivators, We have begun to realize
that for general outdoor garden crops
soil-soaking is the only effective method,
and that mere surface sprinkling is apt
to do more harm than good.
Our modern improved appliances for
