not seriously affect the vitality of the
plant. About the first of June is gen,
orally thought to be the best time for
sowing, and care should be taken that
the weeds do not smother the plants
which, if necessary, should be moved
Five pounds of seed to the acre is
plenty, the plants making healthier
growth and standing drouth better
than where a larger amount is used.
When weeds are thick and are mOWn
they should be gathered UP and taken
away, but when only a moderate
amount is cut they serve as a mulch
and should be left on the ground.
Alfalfa will not grow when too near
water, from u to 40 feet, being the best
depths, as under u feet the top root
will rot and the plant die and over 40
feet the lateral roots cannot reach
water, the plant dying from want Of
water.

There has been much speculation
among Sherman county farmers as the
practicability of irrigating through the
medium of tiles in lien of surface
ditching. There is no doubt but that
this method will be adopted on lands
where the water has to be pumped
from great depths as the saving in
water in a few seasons would more
than repay the expense incurred. The
economy in labor, too, would amount
to quite a sum in the same time, as cul-
tivation after each wetting would not
be required as in case of surface
flooding.
This method has been tried by
Osborn county farmers who find it
very satisfactory and successful. Mr..
Andrew Linn tiled a small area in 1894
and the result led him to go on with
the experiment on a more extended
plan, having now two and one-half
acres under tile irrigation. When the
soil lacks moisture he pulls the plug
and the water goes singing on its
smoothly paved way to perform its
mission in the world. When there is
an excess Of water by heavy rains be
pulls aplug at the other end Of the tiling
and the soil is relieved of its super
abundant moisture. Mr.. Linn will this
year realize from his two and one-half
acres, above a living for himself and
family, over $500, which would have
been much more only that a cruel hail
storm caused him considerable loss.
Tiles for this use can be made in
any part Of this county at a very low
cost, probably about $50 per acre, and
once laid will last for ages, making a
perfect conduit for irrigation waters, a
drain for the escape Of surface water
and as good a subsoiler as could be
desired.
There are several Sherman county
farmers who intend to give this method
a trial the coming season and there is
NO doubt but that the experiment. will
prove a success.

Obituary..

Mrs. Margaret E. Guy, wife of
John w, Guy, Esq, and daughter OF
the late Thomas K. Ayres, departed
this life April Goth, 1895, after a very
short illness. Having gone to visit a
neighbor in her usual health, it was
was while there an accident occurred
to a child, causing great fright to
the ladies present and also to Mrs.
Guy, after which she was taken with
a severe pain in the head. exclaiming
81 am dying, oh my little children"
1t was only a few hours before she
entered her heavenly rest.
Sister Guy was born October 18th,
1S49, and born the second time about
1870 in the Onancock M. E. Church,
of which her family and husband
were members.
A large gathering of people came
on the day of the funeral to pay the
last tribute of respect, despite the
storm and rain. The funeral sermon
was preached by Rev. H. S. Dulany,
after which the relatives and friends
followed her to her last resting place.
Sister Guy was a good woman, for
about twenty-five years she had
lived the life of the righteous, and
was not forsaken in her last moments.
We do not wonder at the great grief
of the family, yet glad of the hope
that they enjoy in the looking for
ward to a reunion when life's strug-
giles are over. She is greatly missed,
but heaven is richer, and already the
children have considered their ways,
and part professed faith in Christ.
May the blessings and grace of the
Holy Trinity rest upon the faithful
husband and children.
A FRIED.
In loving remembrance of my be.
loved son, Robert 7. Lomax, who
died June 18th, 1895.
All is sad within our dwelling,
Lonely is our home to- day,
For the voice we loved so fondly,
Has forever passed away.
His busy hands are folded,
His work on earth is done
His life career is ended,
His battle fought and won.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever,
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain
We shall hear his voice, oh, never,
Nevermore on earth again.
Home is sad, oh God, how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome every spot,
Listening for his voice till weary,
Weary for we hear him not,
Loved in life in death remembered.
By HIS MOTHER.
