PREPARE FOR DROUGHT.

by Arranging For Irrigation at Critical
Stage In the Crops Growth.
Some of the experiment stations are
giving considerable attention to studies
regarding the amounts of water required
by different crops for perfect develop
ment, as well as the best time and
methods of applying it. 1t would be
. well to consider also the economy of wa
ter storage and irrigation on small
scale, as suggested by The Experiment
4 Station Record. The Record very truly
says:
A deficiency of rainfall during a com
paratively short period at IL critical stage
of the growth of crop-as, for instance
at the time of formation of seed-may
result in serious reduction in yield and
quality of crop or in total failure.
The most reliable safeguard against
such result is irrigation i'll some form.
There is reason to believe that the sys-
TENS of irrigation now so extensively
and successfully practiced in the arid
and semiarid regions may be employed
III modified form and on u smaller scale
with marked advantage OH at least the
more valuable farm lands of the humid
regions of the United States.
In such regions there is usually little
trouble in securing all the water needed
for purposes of irrigation by impuund-
ing the small streams and utilizing the
springs which occur OH almost every
farm sufficient water might be stored at
small expense to carry the crops safely
over the one 3r two dry spells" which
are likely to occur during the growing
season. The construction of extensive
reservoirs and canals Of course cou.d not
wisely be undertaken, but on great
many farms the typographical conditions
pre- such that the small streams might
be collected in reservoirs from which the
water might be distributed by means of
open bitches over large area of the
arm, or portion of the flow of larger
streams might be diverted and distrib-
ited by the same means in time of need.
In fact, this kind of irrigation, especial
y in meadows, is already practiced to
limited extent in the eastern United
States.
Such system intelligently practiced
you'd very largely eliminate the ele-
nent of chance i'll farming operations
lnd reduce the culture of the soil more
hearty to a science. Besides affording
kreater security, it would permit of in
ensive cultivation and the widest di-
Justification of crops The latter "a
batter of highest importance in those
Regions which are at present confined to
he production of one or two staple
rops, such as cotton, corn or wheat
= Under this one crop system failure of
be crop is much more serious matter
han under a system in which variety

limits of Human Intelligence.

Nj. Flournoy of Geneva recently devised
a novel experiment for testing the limits of
human intelligence. He arranged series
of common articles of all sizes and request
ed his class To put them in order of weight
Tho weight of all was really exactly the
same, but only one student discovered this
fact. The majority placed small lcaden
weight first and large wooden basin last
The ordinary mind apparently ranges the
weight Of objects in inverse proportion to
their size. Only when the eyes are shut
does true appreciation become possible,
showing that the sensations Of minerva
ton, by which we should be enabled to
tell when the support of different objects
calls forth the same expenditure Of energy,
do not properly exist.

MRS. HENRY E. PERRlNE.
She Is Distinguished as the First Mother
in-laW of the Land.

Since the marriage of the widow of Os-
car Folsom to Henry K. Pcrrnc of Buffalo
in 1889 the public has heard very little
concerning President Clevcland's mother
ln-law She has attracted considerable at
tcntion of late, however, owing to her in
tcrcst in the settlement of long Irrigated
Nebraska estate that was acquired by Ben
Jamin X. Folsom, brother of Mrs. Clevc-
lands grandfather, one of the original
founders of Omaha and in 1855 member
of the first Nebraska legislature. Certain
uncomplimcntary insinuatiuns have been
made concerning benjamin r. Folsom,
and as Mrs. Cleveland is one of his heirs
it Is said Mrs. Perrine went to Omaha re-
Gently to sift the matter to the bottom and
clear the Folsom name of the charges.
Mrs. Perrine was Mrs. Oscar Folsom
when her daughter Miss Frances Folsom,
became Mrs Grover Cleveland. Her huS-
band was Mr. Clcvcland's law partner and
was killed in runaway accident in 1872
For some time before her second marriage
she resided with her daughter in Washing

the capital. Although well along in years,
