Irrigation by windmilIs.

In dry seasons great losses are sus-
tanned. This loss is distributed over
wide sections of the east, and cannot be
said to be confined to any special place.
The loss is apt to come any season, and
often when we are the least prepared for
it. The loss ON Long Island last season
would have erected windmills ON a good
part of the whole number Of farms, ac-
cording to writer in The American
Cultivator, who tells that small gar
den Of ten acres can yield market gar
dener q good living II 1t Is kept In q
high state Of cultivation.
"a windmill to irrigate such land,
with all the necessary material for util-
izing the water, need not cost more than
$500. In one season the crops will more
than pay for this cost. Several years ago
a dry spell swept over Long Island and
eastern Jersey, almost running the mar
ket gardeners crops. Only a few had
their land irrigated by windmills. The
prices for all farm crops went up Rmaz-
ingly in price, and the few who could
raise their crops made 90 per cent more
than usual In short, they made enough
to pay for their windmills several times
over. 1t is not a good plan to mortgage
the farm for anything, but IL there is
any one thing that will be sure to bring
in the money to pay of the mortgage
and interest it is a good windmill and q
perfect irrigation system,

EXTRACTING HONEY.
How This May he Done In the Late Fall

How This May he Done In the Late Fall
and Winter.
Many beekeepers experience trouble
In getting thick honey out of the combs
at this time of the year and later ON in
the winter, IL the honey is left in the
combs until that time. q. M. Doolittle,
whose large experience entities his
opinions to consideration, has the fol-
lowing, originally written for The
American Bee Journal, to say ON the
subject:
We're IL not that a much better arti-
Gle can be produced by leaving the hon
ey ON the hives until the end Of the sea-
son, or until all is thoroughly sealed or
ripened, / should be greatly in favor Of
extracting every third to fifth day dur
ing the season. but If we would have
the best honey which can be produced,
it becomes a necessity that we should ex-
tract thick honey. When / received my
first extractor, it came in midwinter.
repaired to the shop, took down some
frames Of honey had stored away, un-
capped them and tried the machine AS
might be expected, the thing was
! failure. Upon going TO bed that night l
Thought, Of course, / could not succeed
in throwing out frozen honey, for the
extractor was made for use in the sum
mer time when the weather is hot.
After some study and planning, the
next morning found me up bright and
early, with several combs hanging up
rear the ceiling Of small room, with
/ n ara b1fIf and N kbor,,,o,,,atar bonofnos
close by the combs of honey. soon had
the temperature of the room at the cell
ing up to 90 degrees. where kept it for
six hours. In the afternoon again tried
the extractor, when could easily throw
out 90 per cent Of the honey the comb
contained. Even what was partially
candied could nearly all be thrown out,
and the combs hung away so clean that
no bees were needed to clean them of
to keep them from draining. BY hang
ing the combs near the ceiling of the
room it does not take an extremely hot
fire to keep the temperature at from 90
degrees to 100 degrees, or even higher,
if you have old, tough combs / keep
the combs in just so much heat as they
will bear without breaking down, for
six hours, and where kept in this way
no one need have pound Of honey left
in them, as has been reported by some.
Another thing, the extracting, when
done in this way, comes when there is
little else to do, as fall and early win
ter is comparatively a time Of leisure
with most beekeepers, and by tiering
up and leaving the honey on tho hives
until fall the extracting can be done
when the cares Of the busy season have
passed by, and quality Of honey OBJ
tanned which shall be of benefit to our
market, instead Of curse, as unripe
honey always is curse to any market

agriculture and moro recently recalled
by Rural New Yorker, it is claimed,
quite fills the bill. To two quarts Of
water lime, or hydraulic cement, add
sweet skimmilk until Of the consisten-
Cy of good cream. Pour in the milk
tlowly, stir briskly and thoroughly, and
do not mix more than this quantity at
a time, as il is liable to settle to the
bottom and become hard. The proper
tions stated are not exact, and one will
have TO use his own Judgment little,
seeing that the mixture Is not thin
enough to run" or thick enough not to
spread easily.
Use fiat brush, say four inches in
width, and apply like oil paint. The
paint, when dry, is a sort Of creamy
stone color, and any other color may be
obtained by the addition Of suitable pig
ments, which must first be "broken" or
mixed in little milk TO a paste before
being put with the first mixture. Better
still, buy color ground in water. This
paint has been extensively used for years
with perfect satisfaction, looking we'll
for several years, and is comparatively
inexpensive. A common laborer can ap-
ply il at a saving Of one-half the cost Of
painters wages, and farmhands, when
work is slack, could do il at a still
greater saving.
For its lighthouses, beacons and keep
ers' dwellings the government uses a
mixture Of ten parts freshly slaked lime
to one part of the best hydraulic cement,
mixed we'll with salt water and applied
quite thin. Another government recipe
is as follows: Slake one-haH bushel Of
lime with boiling water, keeping II
covered during the process; then strain
and add one peck Of salt dissolved in
warm water, three pounds Of rico -four
boiled in water to thin paste, one.halt
pound Of whiting and one pound Of
white glue dissolved in warm water.
Allow it to stand several days, but ap-
ply hot. Two coats will usually be
found necessary, as in all the foregoing
formulas

Governor William MacCorkle Of West
Virginia is an announced candidate for
the United States senatorship to sue
ceed Senator Faulkner, whose term ex-
pires in March, 1899. Already he has
begun his campaign. To facilitate his
canvass he has bought a private car,
which is called the MacCorkle and in
which the governor goes through the
state in style. He seldom travels even a
short distance without using the Mac
Corkle, and, as a rule, he has with him
a congenial company to enjoy his hospi-
tality. One day be spends with the edi-
tors in convention, the next with the
Knights Of Pythias or MasOns, another
day he addresses a presbyteTy or Meth
odist conference and the next hobnobs
with gathering Of merchants or a Ia
Dor union convention. A few weeks ago
he eamped out with the militia boys,
and so he goes from one place to anoth-
er, greeting all and making his private
car a home for his friends and a means

Late Fall and Winter Irrigation.

Lute Wilcox Of Colorado, writing TO
American Agriculturist, says;
In many sections Of the west fall ir-
rigation has been practiced with good
success. After the crops are harvested
water is turned on and the soil given q
thorough soaking Subsoiling greatly
enhances tho value Of fall and winter
irrigation Tho land is also put into
good condition for early spring plow-
ing. But few crops should be irrigated
from the time Of planting until after
thoplants have had several days growth.
Fall irrigation supplies moisture suffi-
cient to start the crops and gives them
vigorous growth Of few weeks be-
fore irrigation is necessary. 1t is better
for young plants to have the moisture
come from beneath than from the sur
face, especially in early spring. IN Col
orado it has been found that water may
be applied udyantageously before the
regular cold days Of winter set in, and
this method is generally adopted where
water can ha had mt That time Of the
year, Tho late irrigation is useful after
a dry fall, and is especially to be COM
mended in the preparation for crops
which require the maximum amount Of
moisture, and for orchards where tho
water supply is likely to be short the
following season. The land acts as a
storage reservoir. Let the soaking be a
good deep one. Orchardists adopt this
plan to oircumvent the evil effects of
winter drying.

The wind Is hushed the darkness grows,
The fainting moon 10 lost In flight
Death lifts a somler hand and throws
His clouds across the face Of night.
With parted lips and haggard stare,
That strives and strains TO pierce the gloom,

And, breathless, waits the coming doom.
Dim shapeless shadows pass like ghosts;
Along the trembling earth they feel
The distant tramp OF marching hosts
And hear the smothered clash Of steel,

To guide them through the gloom, they press

They spit upon the cloak she wears
Or grasp its hem TO supplicate.
But still, as though she heard them not,
Her anxious eyes are hxed afar
Among the clouds, on one pale spot.
Where family CLEANS single star.
By that same star she chose her path
For every night In vanished years,
Though screened by mists of doubt and wrath,
She sees it STILL as If through tears,
Then, glancing at the fretful horde
VINO call her now to bend the knee,
Sha lays her hand upon her sword
And turns her eyes toward the sea-

An Ohio Town Profits From Keen Com
petition.
Norwalk, o., is probably the only
city in the United States whose inhab-
itants, to the number of at least $50,
have been furnished with telephones
rent free for one year.
The trouble began with the introduc-
tion of the Harrison telephone into the
city. The company offered a rate con-
siderably lower than that Of the Bell
Telephone company, and attracted many
subscribers When 200 people had sig
nified their intention Ct using the new
telephone, and the Bell company saw
that it must face opposition, it made
the announcement that telephones would
be placed in ndsiness houses and dwell
ings for 81 year. This offer at once
drew large number of subscribers, and
the list of Bell telephones soon num-
bered about 800 New wires had to be
strung, and, with the Harrison compa-
ny's $50 telephones, this city of 10000
people employed over 500 telephones.
When those using the Bell telephone
went to pay their yearly rental fee Of
81, they were informed that it was not
necessary, and receipted bills for the
amount were given them. Next year the
Bell company will charge for the use of
its telephones. The price will, be a
shade less than that asked by the Har-
rison company. The latter did not at
tempt to meet the competition of the
Bell company. New York Sun.

REMARKABLE DRAMA OF REAL LIFE
WITH INTRICATE PLOT.

An Adventures Named Mary Thiers the
woman In the Cases Sensational RE
suits Of the Conviction OF a Cleveland
Physician OF burglary.
A drama of real life more extraordi-
nary in its developments than the com
plicated plots Of Wilkie Collins has
been brought to light by the indefati-
gable investigations of a Cleveland at
torney.
Two years ago a DIR. Emerson of Be
rea, a Cleveland suburb, was arrested
ON the charge of burglary. The trial
was sensational, a pathetic feature be-
ing the devotion displayed by his young
and beautiful wife, who sat constantly
by his side during the trial. Emerson
was convicted and sent to the peniten
tiary. His wife was shocked later TO
discover that he had repaid her devo
tion by surreptitiously making out Il
mortgage Of his property, while in jail
TO one Mary Thiers.
Mrs. Emersons love turned to ha
tired. She instituted divorce proceedings
and was granted decree Then she
consulted am attorney in regard to the
Aiegality of the mortgage, In his inyesti-
cation the attorney discovered that
Mary Theirs had been living with John
Thiers, who was not her husband. This
John Thiers died last July, leaving all
his property to Mary, He had been an
intimate friend of DIR. Emerson.
Several days ago the attorney received
} letter from a man named Whitman Of
Buffalo. The writer said he had read
the name of John Thiers in the death
list of a Cleveland newspaper. He ask
ed the attorney to make inquiries and
see if John Theirs was not in reality
Casper Whitman, the writer's father.
casper Whitman, continued the writ
er, cleft his devoted wife in Buffalo
TO wildly follow Mary Thiers, who poi
soned his mind against his family. He
was worth $50, 900 in cash and held
much real estate in Cleveland and De
troit.
The letter concluded with the state
ment that if Theirs and Whitman were
the same, the attorney should immedi-
ately institute proceedings to contest
the will, as the writer should maintain
that his mother and children were Cas-
per Wittman's legal heirs.
An investigation of the viii settled
the question of identity. 1t is signed
John Thiers, but he says he was for
merly known as Casper Whitman. Now
comes another complication. In his will
v mnn speaks of his "former wife. "
Tic court records show that he was
never divorced in Cleveland, and the
attorney claims that were Whitman di-
vorced the divorce would be fraudulent
ly obtained. The story of these two
suits, derived from entirely different
sources and so singularly welded to-
gether, furnishes litigation that has no
precedent in the state of Ohio -Phila-

The Corn Crop.

The corn crop in some of the western
states is 80 large this year that it will
be practically impossible to market all
Of it. Farmers will put some into cat
tie and hogs, and market in that way.
The price Of corn Is now very low, and
it pays better to feed 1t than to sell. A
good deal will be put In crib and re-
served for the higher price that is sure
to come before the next corn crop can
be harvested. 1t is q common remark
that an extra large crop of corn is usu-
ally followed by a medium crop or one
under size. Should there be a partial
corn failure next year one-half Of the
corn crop reserved now will be worth
as much as the whole crop would bring
if rushed on the market at once. Amer

The comet discovered at Lick observa-

Perrine is now about $4,000, 600 miles
from the sun. The distance will de-
crease and reach a minimum Of about
20, 000,0 900 miles ON Dec. 18, at which
time its angular distance from the point
where its path intersects the ecliptio
will be 273 degrees. After Dec. 18 the
distance from the sun will again in
crease. The object is not visible to the
naked eye, but its brightness is increas-
ing very rapidly. 1t will undoubtedly
be visible with telescope assistance
within few weeks
Unfortunately, however, its approach
to the sun will bring it into the morn
ing twilight, and the difficulty of OBJ
servation will be increased thereby. It
is now l 4 times as far from the earth

warning Of storm. Mr.. Parker stated
that no rain was in sight and could look
for continued dry weather, but the we'll
