Irrigation by windmiiis.

In dry seasons great losses are sus-
tanned. This loss is distributed over
wide sections of the east, and cannot lie
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 Islaud last season
would have erected windmills on a good
part of the whole number If farms, ac-
cording to writer in The American
Cultivator, who tells that a small gar
den of ten acres can yield a market gar
dener good living if it is kept in %
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 viii more
than pay for this cost. Several years ago
a dry spell swept over Long Island and
eastern Jersey, almost ruining he mar

their land irrigated by windmills. The
prices for all farm crops went up amaz-
ingly in price, and the few who could
raise their crops made 60 per cent more

EXTRACTING HONEY.



How This May BE Done In the Late FAN
Rnd Winter.
Many beekeepers experience trouble
In getting thick honey ont of the combs
at this time Of the year and later on in
the winter, if the honey is left in the
combs until that time e. NJ Doolittle,
whose large experience entities his
opinions to consideration, has the fol-
lowing, originally written for The
American Bee Jodrnal, to say ON the
subject
Were il not that a much better arti-
Gle can he produced by leaving the hon
ey ON the hives until The end Of the sea-
son, or until all is thoroughly sealed or
ripeued, | 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 eau be produced,
it becomes necessity that we should ex-
tract thick honey When | received my
first extractor, il came in midwinter /
repaired to the shop, took down some
frames of honey 1 had stored away, nm
capped them and uicd lie machine. AS
might be expected, the thing was a
failure. Upon so'ug to bed that night
thought, Of courss, eea!d not succeed
in throwing ont frozen Iouey, for the
extractor was mae for IRE in the sum

After some study and plannng. the
next morning found me IN bright and

near the ceiling Of small room, with
a fire built and thermometer hanging

lErIucE UNDER CLASS


1t Grows Rapidly and Is Pro1table-Three
Crops Between September and April.
Lettuce is a popular and profitable
crop to grow under glass. 1t grows rap
idly, SO that three crops can be taken
from a house between September and
April, and the demand for choice prod
uct is always good. Here are a few
of the most important points in the cul-
tivation Of this crop as presented by
Professor n. Bailey of the Cornell ex-
pertinent station:
In the first place, lettuce must have
a low temperature. The night tempera-
tuse should not rise above As degrees,
while it may go as low as 40 degrees or
even lower. The day temperature in the
shade should be % TO 65 degrees
While a lettuce house must have an
abundance of light, the plants do not
suffer if they are some distance from the
glass and receive but little direct sun
light.
Professor Bailey own experience has
fully demonstrated the superiority of
solid earth beds over benches - lettuce
Lettuce is greatly Influenced by soil.
For best results a soil free Of silt and
clay, but literally supplied with sand
is required This soil allows the water
to settle deeply into it and yet holds it
without percolation The surface is dry,
preventing the occurrence of rot The
roots forage far and wide, and plant
food is quickly available.
If the lettuce crop is to be taken off
in early November, from seven TO ten
weeks should be counted from the SOW
ing of the seeds to the delivery Of the
product A midwinter crop may require
two to four weeks longer. The time
may be shortened ten days TO two weeks
by the use Of the electric arc light hung
directly above the house A single ordi-
nary street lamp of 1900 normal can
die power will be sufficient for honse
20 feet on more wide and IS feet long if
it is so hung that the house is uniform
ly lighted throughout Professor Bal
ley's experiments with the electric
light, now extended over a period of
five years, have uniformly and unequiy-
ocally given these beneficial results with
lettuce
The varieties of forcing lettuce are
many, but the leading ones at present
are the Boston Market or White Seeded
Tennis Ball and Grand Rapids The
former is the famous heading lettuce of
eastern markets. 1t is usually diff
cult variety to grow TO perfection I'M

sHrA in California.

4A5 z The winter months the resi-
9s s4 tEe Eastern States make the
be ~ fovGidding conditions and
amuse Themselves in various ways by
a large expenditure of energy. They
work hard, but they have sport. They
must be careful to avoid the numer.
Gus dangers with which very cold
weather surrounds them. All of their
efforts at amusement are a struggle
against forbidding and uncongenial
aspect of nature. They simply create
all the pleasure they get; nature, in
stead of helping them, presents a
constant protest against their pleas
ure. During these same months the
visitor in California simply has to sit
down and enjoy more pleasure than
his most active efforts could have Sc
cured in the Eastern States; and if he
wants to double the pleasure which
mere inactivity affords, he can do so
with the least possible eXertion. At
all times he has abundant sunshine in
California, for the rainy days are few
and short, and there is neither snow
nor ice to make him prisoner. Flow
ers bloom increasingly in the garden,
and fresh fruits are always at hand
Watermelons and strawberries grace
his Christmas dinner.
All along the coast of California the
summers are cold enough to make
wooden clothing comfortable. In the
Eastern States the wretched inhabi-
tant wears the thinnest of clothing
and then suffers from the heat. The
Californian goes camping or strolling
through the woods with no fear of
drep ring, for the California summers
are ldinless. The mountain scenery
is of infinite variety and unapproach-
able majesty and beauty. Large and
elegant hotels abound at all the sea-
side resorts. Splendid vineyards and
orchards exist everywhere, and the
most gorgeous wild flowers abound.
All the most beautiful resorts and
wild retreats of California are reached

The corn crop in some Of tho western
states is so large this year that it Will
be practically impossible TO market all
of it. Farmers will pat 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 it 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 a common remark
that am extra large crop Of corn is usu-
ally followed by medium crop or one
