Your HIOther-in-IaV.

You wish your wife to love your
mother. Then you must show the same
kindly feeling to hers, writes Ruth Ash,
more III Ladies Home Journal Think
it all out and realize how close girl is
to her mother, how she represents con-
ISOLATION and wisdom to her, how she goes
to her with her grief and her happiness,
and remember that you have not to be
only husband, but mother. for, you must
be so tender to her that with her head
ON your breast and her arms about you
she will tell her troubles and her wor
ries, her joys and her pleasures, and not
only look for but receive sympathy from
you. And then when her mother is there
be gentle and considerate of her. She
has given you her companion and her
little helper, and be sure that there has
been many a lonely hour for her sincs
that gay wedding day. SO remember
that you owe her thanks that must ex-
press themselves in a pleasant manner
and in courteous speech. None of us
can love people at once, but making up
our minds to care for them will make
affection come, and, best Of all, stay.

ALL ABOUT BARN CELLARS.

Their Advantages and Disadvantages al
Presented by Farmer Who Uses One.
There are two sides to the question,
Are barn cellars desirable? And it car
only be answered correctly by carefully
weighing the advantages and disadvan.
tages, taking into account personal cir.
cumstances. The principal advantage is
that by means of we'll constructed Gel.
lar all of the manure, liquid as well as
solid, is saved and kept in good condi.
ton. And when we consider the hungry
condition of our fields, and the hundreds
of thousands of dollars paid for CONNER
cial fertilizers, we may well ask our.
selves if this great saving does not out
weigh all objections to barn cellars? An
experience of many years satisfies me
that a cord of manure from well built
cellar is worth 80 per cent more than
the same kind of manure when thrown
out under roof and twice as much as
the same kind and amount when exposed
to sun and rain.
The western method of hauling ma.
nure as fast as it aCcumulates is not
practicable in Maine, and to me is not
desirable. We must store manure some.
where several months in the year. Dur.
ing seven OF eight months of the year q
barn cellar may be utilized for hog pens,
and where the stock is largely horses il
is good place for hogs, aud they will
greatly improve the quality But if neat
stock is mostly kept it is too moist and
filthy for hogs, and they do not improve
the manure.
The objections so cellars are cost and
the consequent rapid decay of tho stills
and floors Of the barn. That they are in.
| furious to the health of animals and ia
the hay stored in the barn are objections
of no weight, for if they are properly
constructed and the barn floors are as
tight as they should be no vapors will
reach the animals or the hay above The
cellar is entirely unfit for the storage OF
anything but manure. Wood decays very
rapidly, and iron rusts and soon becomes
| worthless.
During winter the cellar should be

ter and nights through the summer will
produce 30 cords Of manure, richly

fertilizers, $3.50. If we lose by not saw

Vegetables Under Glass.

Boston gardeners have for about sc
years grown lettuce for the New York
market, and even now it is probable that
more than half of the lettuce grown neal
Boston is consumed in the great metrop.
oils. At first it was grown only in hot.
beds, and gardeners seemed to think
that it could not be grown of good quail
ity unless within few inches of the
glass, but about 20 years ago some Of
the gardeners of Newton and Belmont
began to experiment in building green
houses for growing lettuce. 1t was soon
found, however, that lettuce equally
good grew at several feet distant from
the glass, and that it was better to give
the roof more pitch in order to shed
snow and rain.
The houses now built for this purpose,
according to report made by the Mas
sachusetts Horticultural society, have a
pitch Of from 20 to 25 degrees, and some
of them are 400 feet long and 90 feet
wide, with a ridge 20 feet above the
beds. 1t ia found that these houses are
far better than hotbeds for winter grow
ing of lettuce and cucumbers, and the
increase of glass during the last five
years has been chiefly in tho line of
greenhouses, while not few additional
houses have been covered with old hot
bed sashes. The permanent glass roof,
however, is preferable unless it is desired
toremove the roof during spring or sum
mer to work or the beds, as is still prec-
tised by some gardeners

SURIRRlGATIoN PLANS.

and to hold moisture in droughts In
very dry weather water can be run into
the upper part of this system of drains
and allowed to run down through. In
hot, dry countries where few stones are
found perforated pipes are used. Mr..
w. S. Marshall of Texas thus describes
a system in quite general use in sections
of that state.
The water is distributed by means of
pipes placed in the ground below the
reach of the pillow. These pipes may be
of thin, perforated metal, of clay til
ing, aor they may be made of cement in
a continuous line and the sides perfo-
rated at intervals to allow the water to
run out and soak into the soil. Subirri-
cation by this method effects a great
economy of water. All that used goes
just where it is wanted to produce the
best results. There is no baking of the
surface and comparatively little loss
from evaporation. One thousand gallons
will water properly and sufficiently as
many trees or plants by this method Of
distribution as would 5000 gallons by
surface application. The windmill is
located outside Of the lot Water is con-
Quoted i'll an iron pipe to the reservoir,
cypress tank with a capacity of 6, 900
gallons. This is located in the center
of the plot irrigated.
See figure, in which o represents the
tank, or reservoir, 3 3 and small
pools in which the header pipes termi-
nate, 5 5 and header pipes and y = \
distributing pipes. Figures are 4
inch header pipes made out Of cement.
They connect with pools 3 8 and 4,
located near the reservoir. These pools
are common kerosene barrels. The
lines 4 are the lateral pipes. These
are % inch cement pipes and are perfor
ated, three-sixteenth inch hole being
made every eight feet, alternately on
either side. In applying the water full
tank is drawn into one of the pools,
whence the water runs evenly over the
section covered by the system of pipes
connected Herewith. As will be seen,
there are four sections of pipes to cover
the whole lot. Each section covers about
an acre. The lateral pipes e. y y are /
feet apart, are closed at one end, as are
the header pipes. There is no outlet to
the pipe except the small punctures
along the laterals. 1t will be seen that
tank of water discharged into the pool
is at once conducted evenly over the
section connected Herewith. Peach,
apricot and other fruit trees are set
along the lines Of the pipes, and grape
vines between the rows. The pipes used
in this system are of cement perforated
at intervals.
Rural New Yorker believes that this
plan could be successfully worked on
small garden spots with comparatively
little expense. The late A. N. Cole, who
practiced this plan on large scale,
constructed a series of bitches on a
rather steep hillside and filled them
with stones. These held moisture, and
in time of severe drought water could
be run in from hydrant
