A writer who has observed methods
in California, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming,
Nebraska and other states has concluded
% the best method is the old and we'll
known one Of gravitation, taking the
water from streams and conveying III
bitches to the land where it is to he
used. Submigation, where it is prac-
ticable, gives good results. Where water
is raised hy pumping with lift of 10
to 40 feet ii water wheel or turbine CON
nected with centrifugal pump is cheap
est and most satisfactory. Windmills
for lifting water for the ordinary farm
er's garden or small truck farming are
desirable, provided wooden tanks are
used or the s0il is such that watortight
reservoir can be built. Centrifugal
pumps water elevators or other pumps
when Gtyn by steam or gasoline en-
gincs, horsepower or other expensive
methods are impacticablc He tells in
The American Agriculurist that he
does not regard any moihod practicable
for general tanning except where water
flows direct from streams in bitches at
low cost.

THIS IS ENCOURAGING.

Outlook for the Farmers of Jones Valley
 Very Bright.
 An Age-Hera1d reporter met yesterday MT. Milton LoveIass, one of the oldest and most reliable farmers of Jefferson county, who farms extensively near East Lake, and queried him as to the outlook for the farmers.
 Mir. Lovelass at once became enthusi- astic, and remarked that the outlook for the farmers of Jones valley was brighter than he had ever known it to be before All cereals were up in good sape, espe- cially corn. and the stands. he said. were excellent
 One thing in particular he mentioned which was very reassuring, and that was the total absence of cut worms, which heretofore have been the bane of farmers everywhere.
 MT. Lovelass lives now within one mile of where he was born, and says he has never known brigther outlook than the present one.

INFLUENCE OF A HAT.

A Birmingham belle refused to go to the Southern Club picnic because her new hat didn't suit her. She had the hand somest man in town as a beau for the day. and she is bright and sparkling, and like all intellectual people she loves to talk. She is very popular and would have received much attention. She is beautiful and would have had a front place in the pictures taken of the pie nickers. Everything promised a most delightful day-one long to be remem- bered. Yet she cast all these pleasures aside because of a hat. Such self-abne- gation is incomprehensible to a man. It is impossible for a man who can rush in a store and get hat in ten minutes to fully comprehend such martyrdom. But on such light matters do the great events of life hang. Napoleon lost the battle of Borodino because of headache, and with the loss of that battle he lost the con- quest of Russia, and with that loss he lost the crown of the French empire But is woman's hat light matter? It may be light, and yet very weighty. Cleopatra would never have con- quered Anthony, and with him the world, had she worn a poke bonnet More tears have been wrung from a wo- mans heart by an unbecoming bonnet than were ever shed over the failure of woman suffrage. The philosophy of dress is her deepest study, and the har- mony of color has elicited profounder thought than the harmony of the uni verse.

MIR. PATTERsoN,s VISIT.

Hon. Josiah Patterson of Tennessee is to speak in Birmingham tomorrow after noon upon that all-absorbing question currency and the Age-Herald is confi- dent he will attract a large audience of interested, thinking people, whether they be silver or gold advocates. Colonel Patterson holds high position in the es- teem of hundreds of our people, and they know him to be a magnetic and logical speaker
 It is understood that the distinguished Tennessean is to talk to us on the side of sound money" We'll and good, that is just what the people want They want enlightenment as to what constitutes sound money" and they are going to ba attentive listeners. Not only the single standard silverites, or the single standard goldites, but the people generally, who are open to conviction, are anxious for debate and conclusions on this question, and Mir. Patterson comes to us at a most opportune time.
 He is opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at ratio of IS to 1, and rightly so; but we do not understand it to be Mr. Patterson's object or the object of the proposed Memphis convention to or ganize a party within or without the Democratic lines. If the Age-Herald be- lieved this to be the object of the speaker or of the Memphis meeting it would frown upon both. It must be left to the 16 to 1 free silver wing to organize into clubs and little independent tea parties. Most Democrats seem to be content to stand squarely on the platform of the Democratic party, and will continue to do so, preserving the strength of the party, and proving faithful allegiance.
 Birmingham will no doubt send rep resentatiye delegation to the Memphis convention. composed of men who will fairly represent the sentiment of this section.

THE MOBILE AND OHIO ExH1B1r

The Mobile and Ohio Railroad has con- sented to place it's exhibit of Alabama minerals, cereals and forestry. which took the premium at the Illinois State Fair at Springfield last fall, in the Ala bama building at Atlanta This is one of the strongest possible arguments in favor of the Alabama building. as without such building these several exhibits would be placed in separate buildings, and the value which the aggregate exhibit would make is lost to a great degree
 The decision of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad shoud now be followed by other roads having large interests in Ala bama: not only this, but also they should render such aid in the erection of this building as they can, since no other in terests will be more directly or apeedily benefited by the exhibit than the rail- roads.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad had an Alabama exhibit at the New Or leans Exposition, and this road has cer- tainly larger interests in Alabama than in any other State, and if they will join with the Mobile and Ohio, the rail- roads alone can give an exhibit at At lanta that will do themselves and the State most signal and valuable service. From this 1t will be seen how important it is for our own citizens to be more fully alive to this work. The work has scarcely commenced. and yet there is strong need for it's being rapidly and vigorously pushed to a successful issue. suit will be all that is desired.

ROSES.

Roses to the right, to the left, around, about and above usl Beautiful queen of flowers, mingling in cheek, lip, eye and brow all the cardinal colors Coming out white in the morning, blushing to lovely pink at noon, and fading in the evening. Though queen of the floral realm the rose is never visited by the bee That industrious little worker seeks the nectared sweets from the clover blossom which lies close to the earth. The rose is purely artistic and esthetic, not utili- tarian, and thus lays additional claim to the title of ''queen." The beauty of the rose is the cause of its destruction. No rose bush would be deflowered did it not offer an irresistible attraction. The pe- destrian at night cannot resist the temptation to climb the fence and brave dog and gun to possess himself of this floral treasure. If he is a young man re- turning late from an entertainment with his lady love, and she expresses a desire for a bouquet of roses, he is sure to lay aside all scruples and possess himself of that which legally belongs to another. The flower thief is no common thief. He does not steal to satisfy the demands of his physical being, but of his higher na- ture And the demands of the soul are stronger than the demands of the body There Is higher law which justifies man in appr0priating to his own use that which he appreciates more than another. Hamlet resented the interference of Ophelia's brother. q loved Ophelia- forty thousand brothers with all their quantity of love could not equal the sum of minev
 Is it wrong to pull rose? Plucked from its parent stem and carried to a. dark room it blooms for one alone, and lacking the admiration and adoration of the many, it droops and dies. Left upon the stem it blooms for all the world, it sheds it's fragrance like a censer around the footsteps of all who pass, and it's beauty brightens the life of all within it's radiant circle He who plucks rose might yearn to draw down the sun from its orbit, and monopolize its warmth and light to the exclusion of all the world.

 MT. A. J. Shz has opened a grocery store in the Moragne block on West Fifth street This makes two new stores this week on Fifth street
 S. D. Monroe, who has been quite sick for two or three days, is in the store again.
 Attalla is full of churches and Chris tian people, but almost half the town was surprised and thrown into a state of excitement few evenings ago, while large numbers of both white and colorad people gathered on Third street, near one of the negro churches. to see what ailed somebody, only to find a negro wo- man who had become happy at the even ing prayer meeting making some noise.
 delightful fishing party returned home last night after having spent four days on Canoe creek, in Calhoun county, with headquarters at Henrys mill, ten miles south of this place. They report a big time and lots of fun and plenty of fish, but your correspondent failed to see any. They attribute much of their success and pleasure to the hospitality of MT. Cobb, the miller.

 The writer. Miss Kate Cumming, is not stranger to the reading world, hay ing contributed to the literature of the south an invaluable work entitled | Hospital Life in the Confederate | Army"
 No one is better qualified than the tall | ented author to speak understandingly l of the days of carnage and battle.

Grain, Poultry, and Hog House.
An arrangement Is here shown by
which the poultry, grain and hogs can
be brought into proximity-an arrange
ment calculated to lessen the work or
caring for both kinds of stock. for both
are, to no inconsiderable extent, fed
on grain. The plan calls for story
and half building with two wings
one Of the wings for the accommodation
of hens and the other for the hogs, pens
for each being arranged along the sun
ny side, with walk extending the
length of the other side. The central
grain building has chamber where a
part Of the grain can be stored in bins,
the latter having chutes to convey the
grain to the first floor. If this central
building can have cellar so much the
better, for in this can be. stored roots
and vegetables for the use of the fowls
and hogs, the cooking of these being
done i'm q boiler set on the first floor.
The building should be so arranged that
runs and outside pens can be arranged
in front of corresponding inside pens
in the two wings. The building should
