IRRIGATION BY RAM POWER.
A Stream Turned out of Its Bed to Wait
on Yankee.

In New England thousands of acres
Of land are practically arid. What is to
be done with these? This question seems
to have been solved by IN enterprising
farmer of Simsbury, Conn, Oh a farm
composed of sandy and somewhat rocky
soil. A brook winding its way through
this farm to the Pennington river was
changed i'll its course, being made to
run through a canal six feet wide along
the slope of a hill, 90 feet away, and
seven feet lower, nearly ON level with
the water table. A powerful hydraulic
ram was located. The water in the
canal was given fall of seven feet to
the ram where the pressure was inten
sified to 26 pounds to the square inch,
sufficient to water as desired Il six acre
field of Strawberries nearly Il mile away,
OF to force the water 60 feet above into
a pond holding 300, 600 gallons. The
pond was made by drawing stones and
dirt and throwing up an embankment
in well selected location on hillside.
The pipe from the ram to the pond was
of inch iron. Next year this pond will
be stocked with fish and the water al
lowed to run in at the surface to dis
seminate air and prevent its becoming
stagnant. When water is needed for
irrigation, it is taken direct from the
ram and from the pond ut the same
time, and when not being drawn from
the pond for irrigating purposes the
water from the ram is forced through
the same line Of pipe to the pond.
Midway between the ram and the
pond 7 shaped connection is made Of
2 inch iron pipe, which extends to
the strawberry beds, All of the 3
inch and great portion Of the 2 inch
pipe is laid under the ground, so as not
to interfere with blowing or cultivation.
Stop cocks are arranged at convenient
points. The proprietor Of this farm paid
$500 for the ram, bought the iron pipe
III the open market aud secured $50 feet
of condemned fire hose at 10 cents per
foot. The hose is readily moved about the
strawberry fields A large sized sprinkler
is used, being laid on an inclined board
with few feet of hose so as to be four
feet from the surface and to sprinkle
thoroughly i'll the desired direction.
Mr.. J. c. Eddy, the proprietor, is
very enthusiastic on the subject Of irri-
CATION, and for excellent reasons, ac-
cording to the account given in detail by
no doubt about the utility, practicable
ity and profit Of irrigation as practiced
by Mr.. Eddy.

CONCERNING MlLLET.

Popular Varieties Described-The Value of
Millet For Fodder-Pasture and Seed.
The number of species known as mil
let is very large and includes nearly all
the grasses whose grain is used for hu
man food, with the exception of wheat.
Rye, oats, barley and rice. Indian corn
bis known as millet in India, and some
times in France. The use of the millets
| in the United States is almost wholly as
b fodder for cattle and horses, the gen
eral cultivation of Indian corn prevent
ling their use to any considerable extent
as Il grain crop. In many parts Of the
bid world, however, the millets are
grown especially for their seed The sew
eral kinds of millet are becoming APP
'parently more and more restricted to the
section Of the country to which they are
best adapted. Hungarian grass has now

The labor Of keeping city streets in a
clean, prescntable and sanitary condition
is greatly reduced by the sensible, prac-
tical housekerper who takes the trouble to
consume the garbage and scraps that &C
emulate. The very best way to do this
is to put upon the coal fire, after the meal
is finished, whatever refuse may have been
gathered This is at once the easiest least
expensive and cleanliest way of getting
rid of il. An old colander or metal vessel
full of holes may be placed in the kitchen
sink, and into it all scraps and useless left
overs are to be thrown. When Well
drained, they are ready for consumption,
and will help in keeping the fire until the
next meal. A patented device for accom-
plishing this end is IA perforated cage,
designed to be slipped into IA cross section
If pipe attached to the ordinary stovepipe.

for many years been most popular at the
east, where the seasons are short and
the droughts not unusuaWy severe Com
mon millet is usually preferred in the
.west and north, as it stands drought
well and requires only short season.
German millet is still popular over a
wide area, but is best appreciated and
most exclusively grown at the south.
The amount Of seed to the acre should
range with the variety, condition and
character of the soil, climate and the
purpose for which the millets is own. In
seeding for hay, if too little is used the
Fodder will be coarse and unpalatable.
III too much seed is used, the crop will
be small and fail to mature. A moist
Fertile soil will bear heavier seeding
than poor, dry one. If seed instead of
Fodder is wanted, less seed should be
Bown. For that purpose, especially where
the soil is poor or weedy, better results
are obtained by sowing the crop in drills
and cultivating it. The amount recon-
mended to be sOwn per acre of Hungari-
an and common millet varies from one
peck to one bushel and both these limits
are sometimes exceeded. Three pecks
per acre was the standard adopted the
past season in seeding for hay at the
Michigan station, but as the season was
very dry the amount proved too large.
To meet the need Of pasture during
July and August, when the ordinary
pastures fail from drought, millet is
sometimes sown. 1t answeis fairly well
for the purpose, though if pastured very
closely it lasts but short time, as it
hoes not form a turf. The best variety
for this purpose is probably Hungarian,
although common millet appears to an

From bulletin by A. A. Crozier Of
the Michigan station on millet it seems
that common millet was the first millet

limited States, and it is now more wide
Xly cultivated than any other variety and
is less variable in its character.
Hungarian millet first came into gen
eral notice i'll Iowa under the name

Ripening Of silage Corn.

Two facts were clearly shown in the
results from harvesting the silage corn
at different stages Of growth at the
Maine station last season--first, that
the later growth of dry matter in the
corn plant is made up chiefly Of non
nitrogenous compounds, and, second, "A
large percentage Of these compounds
consisted of sugars and starch, sub
stances that are the best Of their class
for the purposes Of animal nutrition.

BROOM CORN MILLET.

quoted, as a crop for hay German millet
deserves ito present popularity. 1t is
later than Hungarian and much later
than common millets.
Broom corn millet is one of the few
cultivated plants whose use antedates
recorded history Its cultivation in the
UNITED States is now probably more eX
tended than at any previous time, but
'only in the northwest, where drought
land short season prevent the profitable
cultivation Of Indian corn, does it form
! an important crop. In that region, with
in the past few years, its culture has ex-
tended quite rapidly, and it is proving
to be valuable not only for its fodder,
. but also for the seeds 1t has received
in that part of the country several local
names, such as North Dakota millet,
Manitoba millot and Hog millet. Out
side of this region the cultivation of
this species in the United States is of
little importance.
For several years past efforts have
been made to sell baled cornstalks.
: Such sales have been slow because hay
has been plentiful This year we have
a short hay crop and an abundance OF
corn. Now is the time TO boom the
baled stalks at a fair price and let the
public see what they are, says The Rural
