Irrigation In Rev England.

By selecting the correct spot on the
farms and preparing a pond to which
bitches may lead supply of water can
be secured and at the proper season car
ried outside of the pond by wind power
to irrigate adjacent land. A correspond
ent of The New England Homestead who
has such pond with the bitches, pre-
pared at comparatively small expense,
tells all about the matter. He says:
I secured an old pattern Moore road
grader, to which hitched eight horses,
four abreast. The bitches were made
with one round of the machine. Make
the pond circular, leaving an island in
the center. With the grader began
plowing i'll a circle 20 rods in circum-
ference, gradually working outward un-
til the outside measurement was so
rods. Then, setting the grader so it
would throw the earth outward. I be-
gan working toward the center until all
the loose dirt was removed. I then had
q smooth surface upon which to begin
plowing as before. Puddle the bottom
SO it will hold water.
On farms which have no basins the
water may be taken from ravines that
are previously damned and prepared
for holding the supply The water will
then have to be raised by windpumps
and carried in cheap board troughs to
the land to be irrigated. The same DOW
er which carries the water out of the
pond nfight be utilized to fill the pond
from a we'll. In addition to the benefits
mentioned this system drains the land,
increases the rainfall of a country. and
IT the ponds are deep enough makes it
possible to raise fish.

The New Capitol.
The legislature of 1898 passed an act to
provide for the appointment Of several suit
able persons. one from each congressional
district in the state, to act and be known
as the board Of state capitol commission
ers," whose duty should be to secure the
erection Of new, state capitol, according
to the provisions of the law. In conformity
Herewith I appointed the following named
gentlemen, who were confirmed by the SEN
ate, duly qualified, and have since been
acting as such board, viz:
H. w. Lamberton, of Winona, from the
First congressional district.
James McHench, of Fairmont, from the
Second congressional district.
George A. Dutoit, of Chaska, from the
Third congressional district.
Charming Seabury, of st. Paul, from the
Fourth congressional district.
John De i.eittre, of Minneapolis, from the
Fifth congressional district.
Chas. H. Graves. of Duluth, from the
Sixth congressional district.
E. E. Corliss of Fergus Falls, from the
Seventh congressional district.
BY the terms of this act the governor is
made a non-voting member Of the board,
and total appropriation of $4,000, 900 was
made to be provided by tax levy Of two
tenths Of a mill upon the assessed yalua-
tion of the state each year, not exceeding
10 years.

READY.MADE LIBRARIES.

DOOkS III DUN.
From the Commercial-Advertiser
1t appears that one may get, while
he waits" not only new cover for his
umbrella, patch to his shoe, a tooth
drawn. and so on; may get ready-made
not only whole suits of clothing, and
ready-furnished flats, including linen
and silver, but he may also get his
library, ready-made. In the case of
village libraries, perhaps better as
sortment of books, based on the expert
ence of other libraries, can be bought
ready made than from lists made out
in the village, but 1t Is hideous to think
that the fathers of young men send to
New York, as they do, for ready-made
libraries of from 1901 500 volumes for
the use of the sons. There are books
of which it has been said without
which no library is complete" This is
misleading, except in the case of the
universal Shakespeare. 1t depends al
together on the purpose of the possess
sor Of libary as to whether particu-
lar book is needed to complete it.
Nobody, not even a father, can tell
what are the best 100 books for the
reading of another person. One must
grow into his reading and must deter
mine for himself, volume at time,
what books should make up his library.
To young man who intends to begin
reading seriously and with a purpose
1t is folly to name hundred or score
of books which he should read. 1t is
impossible that anybody should know,
that he should himself know, what di-
rection his readingSwill take. With the
rule that he shall read only the book in
which he can feel an interest, his Ii
brary will form itself The possession
of library ready-made is likely to dis
courage him or else divert his reading
from its natural course. If he reads
what is pleasurable. provided IT. does
not belong to the category of the stupid
and inane or the vicious. he, will grow
into what Is for him the best reading.
One book, or at most two, at time, one
line of study only at time. Any young
man who is In earnest will always find
his way to the best. Nobody can direct
him so entirely as to prescribe a .hun-
dred books for him. .. H. ,-e.-
