breaks the rays of the sun. Only il
extreme drouth would the abplica-
ton of water be required. The rain
fall would be sufficient to insure a
good yield of potatoes of superior
quality; in case water was required,
the mulch could be easily removed
from the burrows and the application
OF water from we'll or reservoir could
be readily applied; where ground is
covered with a good coat Of mulch it
will not bake from the application of
water, For garden vegetables the
ground cannot be mulched, but l
would advise laying the ground off
in beds and allowing it to leak out,
but never apply on surface of beds,
as the plants will scald and the
ground will bake. For beets, onions
or cabbage, l would recommend run
ming water between the rows. This
will not be necessary where the land
is thoroughly soaked, as indicated be-
fore, except in extreme drouth. The
main part to be done by the small
farmer in order to make irrigation
a success can be done at time of
the year when but little else can
be done and l give it as my hon
est opinion that one half acre of land
dealt with as l have indicated will
raise more potatoes and garden
vegetables than any family in north
west Kansas can consume.

Soft Coal Wars.

Dealers IN soft coal at Kansas City,
Mo, are at loggerheads, and the con-
sequence is reduction of rs cents
per ton in the price of Kansas Goa (,
and ST. per ton on Missouri coal, Il
boon that is fully appreciated by the
consumers, and that 10 calculated to
excite envy among LOCAL consumers of
soft coal. These prices apply to the
retail trade only and came about in
consequence Of the dissolution of the
Kansas City Coal Dealers Benevolent
| (?) Association, which was organized
in October to prevent cutting" in
the prices Of coal. The coal dealers
had enjoyed \ war of two months
duration, and had got together to
make up. Prices were increased at
three different times until all the
mem bers Of this peculiarly BENEVOLENT
association were making money, and
at almost every corner away out in
the suburbs retail Offices had sprung
up until theirs were PSI retail coal
dealers who had paid city licenses, to
say nothing of the petty dealers who
had not. The end came suddenly
and the benevolence Is exercised in
the proper direction.
The war in Chicago which has re-
duced soft coal to 50 a ton, the lowest
price eyer known, was brought about
by slight cut in the hauling rate
from Brazil, Ind, made two months
ago by the Chicago q Eastern Illinois
railway. Other roads followed suit,
the Illinois Central railway cutting
it's rates from the Illinois coal fields.
The rate cutting continued until the
Chicago 81 Eastern Illinois rate from
Brazil dropped from ST. 10 to so cents
per ton, and the Illinois Central cut
its Carbondale rate from 81 rs to rs
cents. As result coal jobbers cut
their prices on soft coal from SO and
So rs to $2 per ton.

Bishop Simpsons Recovery

DlbuOp NOlhlpDSh |VSSS' ~
Bishop Bowman, Of the M. e
church, gives the following instance
from his own experience:
In the fall of 1858, whilst visiting
Indiana, was at an annual confer
ence where Bishop James presided
We received a telegram that Bishop
Simpson was dying. SAID Bishop
James: LET us spend a few moments
in earnest prayar for the recovery Of
Bishop Simpson"
We kneeled to pray. William Tay'
lor, the great California street preach
or, was called to pray; and such q
prayer / never heard since. The i'm
preston seized upon me irresistibly
Bishop Simpson will not die. l rose
from my knees perfectly quiet. Said
I: "Bishop Simpson will not die"
| made minute Of the time of day
and when | next saw Simpson he was
attending to his daily labor. L in
CURED of the bishop; "How did you
recover from your sicknessP He re.
piled: II cannot tell" What did
your physician say2" He said 1t was
"a miracle" I then SAID to the bishop;
"Give me the time and circumstances
under which the change occurred"
He fixed upon the day, and the very
hour, making allowance for the dis
tsnce-a thousand miles away-that
the preachers were engaged in prayer
az this conference. The physician
left the room and said TO his wife;
sit is useless to do anything further;
the bishop must die" In about an
hour he returned, and started back,
inguring; What have you done|
Nothing" was the reply He is re-
covering rapidly" said the physician;
"a change has occurred in the disease
within the last hour beyo anything
/ have ever seen; the crisis is past,
and the bishop will recover" And
he did
The doctor was puzzled ). it was be
yond all the course u probabilities OF
mature, and the laws of science, What
was It th at made those ministers SO
sure what was it that made the pa
tient recover, at the exact hour that
they prayed? There Is only one ans
wer: The everything power of a
Superior Spirit which rules the world

PRAYER.

"Afen ought always to pray, and
not faint" -Lpke 1871.
In Oneonta, N, Y, man rose in a
meeting and SAID, lyon have been
talking about the power OF prayer,
and I don't believe a word of 1t; but
if you want hard case, try it on me-"
The offer was accepted, the Christians
united in public and secret prayer for
him. In three days he was under
deep con, lotion, sad was soon con-
verified.
Prayer is our approach to Coo, anc
our intercourse and communion with
Him Be it vocal, ia the public as
sembly, family, or other circle, the
eiaculatory cries born in the haste OF
emergencies, and winged Heaven
ward amid the din, hustle and dan
gers of daley life, or the secret
groanings and meditations in the
calm of Gods presence, where no
earthly eye can see, no human ear
can hear, and whore we can pour our
souls out to Him in EOlitude. This
latter mode Jesus especially recon-
mends in the following language
when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shnt the
door, prey to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in
secret shall reward thee openly."-
Matt. 6:6.
Somewhere we must have the closet
that Jesus meant-a quiet spot where
we can be away from human beings
and the noise of this distracting
world, and be alone tUith God. The
Master may not have meant a litera
closet, four or six feet square, but {
spot suggestive OF solitude, and free
dom from all worldly Interruption
1t may be in the grove, field, barn
garret, cellar, closet. room, or what
ever seclusion can be obtained.
The sweetest conversation we hsv,
with earthly friends is that which il
most private, and uumarred by tn,
'encoschment of mere acquaintance
or strangers, and so is 1t with on
converse With the Father Of Spirits.

In secret prayer we can unbosom
ourself to the God Of all grace as we
would not in public. Here shut up
alone with Him, secret sins are con-
fessed, strength is implored to over
come peculiar temptations, trials and
grlefs, which we would not spread
before the world, are here brought
to Him, who will sympatize, assist
and lead.
This closet devotion is absolutely
necessary to our growth in the knowl-
edge OF Heavenly things. In this Sc
cluded communion we realize more
sacred, personal intercourse with the
Lord, and 1t imparts power and
vigor to our life and testimony that
no other means Of grace will. To
know that we have just been speaking
to God, produces its effect in prepar-
ing us to come forth from the closet
to battle with the world, the flesh and
the Devil. We are possessed of that
Calm an Heavenly fame" which
lifts us into a spiritual atmosphere
above this sinful scene.--The Plumb
