THE IRRIGATION MOVEMENT The irri-
cation movement Is accumulating a
tremendous impetus, which is visible
not alone In the west, but through
out the country. The work Of organ
ization and agitation, through national,
interstate, state and county associa-
tions, will 60 forward with renewed
energy from now until the next great
international congress ASSEMBLIES at
Albuquerque, New Mexico, In the au-
tumn of 1895. That this movement Is
the hope of prosperity for millions and
that it will safeguard our institutions
with new bulwark of liberty, in tho
form of small landed proprietors, is the
confident expectation of western men.
Their appeal is to patriotism and the
best spirit of humanity. They seek to
build to the credit of their country, to
the good of their race, to the glory OF
God.

The Seckel Pear.

Many years ago, when dutch
Jacob" las he was called,) Philadel-
phia cattle dealer, returned from his
shooting excursion early in the fall, he
is said to have RECALLED his friends with
pears that were marvel Of excellence,
but the locality of whose growth he
would never disclose. Subsequently,
the Holland Land Co., which owned
considerable tract south of the city Of
fered 1t for sale in parcels, and Jacob Sc
cured the ground on which his favorite
pear tree stood, strip near the Della
ware. This was considerably over 100
years ago. Whether he called the
pear by any particular name is
not known, but in times chang
es the land and tree came into
the possession Of Mr.. Seckel, who
introduced the remarkable fruit, and 1t
received his lame. This is condensed
from note in Downing's large work on
fruits, Bishop White-long since de-
consolidating furnished the informa-
ton. The original tree was standing
not long since and may be yet. Anice
picture of it may be seen in one of the
volumes Of the Pennsylvania state agri-
cultural association, published few
years ago. The Seckel has been wide
ly distributed and has shown itself
adapted to more variations of soil and
climate, perhaps, than any other kind.
The tree is good stoclxy grower, and
q sure and abundant bearer. 1t can
hardly be said to be wholly free from
blight, but is is more nearly so than
any other pear tree among the well
known varieties. The fruit Is most de-
licious. It's single defect Is lack of
size for canning. But for desert, eat
ing out Of hand, ETC., 1t has no
superior, and for each purpose it oc-
cupies a prominent position in the
market. 1t becomes larger by taking
off the superabundant fruit when
small-not great task when one has
a mind to do it-and in such cases the
size is often full medium. Season, last of
August to the beginning of October.
AS Is well known, all pears are i'm
proved by being picked while yet hard
when the seeds begin to color-and
ripened in the house; but Seclsel does
well ripened on the tree. A member
of the Cincinnati Horticultural society
stated at one of the meetings some
years ago, that his choice of all pears
was Seclsel that had dropped in the
night. But house ripening is prefer
able even for this. Many seedlings
have been raised from the Seclsel-Ott,
Foote'S Seclsel and others-but none
equal to the parent. Last but not
least; in this very unfavorable year for
the tree fruits, Seclel is the only
variety Except Tyson that has good
crop. Most of the other sorts have
nothing. In planting even few trees
for family use, the Seclkel should not
be overlooked

hard to get good crops if,proAt is Of no
account. A rich man plays with a
farm as children do with dolls, dress
ing up to suit his fancy, and quite In
different as to expense or profit. 1t Is
his fancy and not his Pocket that he

They employ many hands. They try
a great many experiments which work.
ing farmers can not afford to try. They
show what can be done. And Ameri-
can farmers, although they will not
initiate, will do better than that-they
will take hints in this thing and that,
and by gradual improvement they will
raise their own style of farming many
degrees. Every township oughtto have
one gentleman farmer who aims to
show what soil can be made to do. In
his case it may not be remunerative.
But, take the country through, the In
direct effect will be remunerative. His
very mistakes will be useful. A mistake
is often (although rarely reporte6 more
instructive than success. But 1t is
not every farmer who can afford so
dear school master. This class Of
fancy farmers have done a wonderful
good to the agricultural class in one
particular respect, that is, in the dis
tribution Of improved live stock. Per-
haps in thousands of places in
our country, improved breeds Of
horses, cows, sheep, swine and
poultry have been introduced through
the generous or lavish expen-
diture Of money in the purchase Of the
best breeding stock by the SO called
fancy farmers, and by this means they
have been In the course of time, dis
tributed in the immediate neighbor-
hood, and to this day are bearing fruit
that is beyond estimate, in the good
they have bestowed upon the country
at large.-F. L. Hooper in Farmers

PRICES FOR PoTAroEs.-It will not be
safe to build up too snnguine hopes OF
big prices for potatoes this year, in
spite Of the alleged shortness in yield
The total estimates suggest a de-
ficiency of something less than ~ per
cent Of last years crop, or $4,000, 900
bushels this year, against $4,000, 900
bushels last year. But 1t is admitted
that the quality Is unsurpassed by any
previous years crop, and, considering
the rapid waste Of an unsound crop, it
is not difficult to perceive that the de-
ficiency in quality may easily be made
up to large extent, if not wholly, by
the soundness of the crop of this year.
The deficiency exists In the states
where the hot, dry weather SO serious
ly damaged the corn and reduced the
yield of potatoes from thirty-two to
forty bushels per acre, the former
average being seventy-fve bushels;
and, as the large yields Of the season,
and necessarily the surplus, which will
be drawn upon to supply the wants Of
the people in the west, must be drawn
from the east, there Is every proba-
bility that the advance In price may be
considerable, but no reason to expect
an abnormal one.-Ex.

Dat Culture mt Champaign.

In Bulletin No. 81 of the Illinois
Agricultural Experiment Station Is
given report OF. the experiments tried
in oat culture on the, Station farm at
Champaign. The average yield of
forty-eight plats was at rate of 69.3
bushels per acre, the largest yield bo-
ing 70 and the smallest 40.s bu. per
acre; five plats yielding less than so
bu. and seven over 20 bu. each per
acre. The oats on each of twenty-four
plats weighed over the standard weight
of go lbs per bushel; those on twenty
plats, less than SO lbs per bushel.
Seventeen varieties were tested. Fiji
teen Of these, twelve of which were
selected from a much larger number
because Of good yields in former years,
were grown on duplicate plats. While
the land was apparently unusually
uniform in quality, the difference in
yield of plats of the same variety was
marked ina number of cases; in one
case being over 10 bu. per acre. The
best yielding varieties were: Texas
Rust Proof, "A blu. per acre; Texas Red,
6s.2 bu.; New Dakota Gray, 67.3 bu. /;
Calgary Gray, 67.6 bu.; New Red
Rust Proof, 6z1 bu.; American
Banner, GA bu.; Green Mountain,
GA bu.; Pringles Progress, .64.3 bu. In
trials for five years the best yielding
varieties have stood in following order:
Pringles Progress, Texas Rust Proof,

Proof, American Banner, Improved

grown two seasons. 1t ranked third

VALUE OF FoREsTs.-Mr. Fernow says
forests serve three purposes-"thep ur-
pose of beauty, the purpose of regulat-
ing water flow and soil conditions and
the purpose of supplying material. "
To this it may be added, says the
monthly review Of the Iowa weather
and crop service, forests break the
force of heavy winds, thereby prevent
ing too rapid evaporation and mitigat-
ing the severity of storms. Iowa
would be vastly richer and more pro-
ductive II fully one fifth of its area
were covered by dense forest belts.
We could produce greater crops'on the
four ffths than we do now upon the
whole acreage, and the remaining fifth
devoted to forestry would yield ade-
quate returns in form Of fuel and tim

measured by the cost Of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an american, metropolitan, daily paper of the

cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better. and
none just like it. 1t prints all the real news Of

ADvANTA GEES OF FARM LIFE.-T. B.
Terry says that one reason the farmers
do not see the profits Of the farm is
that they do not realize the lessencd
cost of living. Mr.. Terry thus reckons
his own unseen expenses: House,
worth $40 per month; fruit garden, dur
ing its season, 80 per day; COW for
cream and milk, $50 per year; light and
fuel, FROM So to sl2 per month in the
city. Then free, pure water, fresh
meat, horse and carriage, ETC., are all
to be reclsoned among the advantages
of the farm. A farmer has his own
garden vegetables, fruits, flour and
wheat, and his clothing does not need
to be very expensive, and his taxes are
only about half those of his city
