Vertical Writing in TeIegr0phy.

Boston Transcript: If the vertical
handwriting which is being taught in
our public schools prevails. and be-
comes the ordinary handwriting, the
people who enjoy its advantages will
have in large measure the telegraphers
to thank for it. They have been the
pioneers of vertical writing. For the
last twenty years almost every tele-
graph operator in the country has writ
ten a round, vertical hand, palmer than
any other sort of handwriting known,
with round. fat loops for the letters,
which drop below the line, and simple
capitals This teiegraphers' writing
has much in common with the English
''civil service handwriting" which may
have preceded it. but the civil service
hand is less often vertical and has GER
tain points of difference. Mems hand
writing tends in a general way to con-
form to the fashion of Roman print
prevalent at any time: and. as the most
ordinary print letter nowadays is of a
round or Scotch face it is not strange
on the whole that the tendency in
handwriting is toward round letter.
Women's chirography is more capric.
ious in its fashions: though it has in
clined pretty steadily now for several
years toward angular criticism.

Harper's Bazar for February 23d

a dialogue, called "The Oral Method" +"
in which learned professor, who is
absent-minded and deficient in small
talk, receives some valuable instruction
in the art of conversation. The Paris

the latest political and literary gossip,

Rains Irrigation !: Drainage.

Rains Irrigation Drainage.
1t is found by observation that for
| dry farming to be possible not only
must there be at least twenty inches OF
rainfall during the year (being that OF
London, England,) but that the rains
be moderate in character and that the
temperature be not excessive; also that
the rain be of considerable duration
| to allow of its penetrating the soil and
dissolving the constituents in it, which
furnish the food for the spe-
cific plant being grown, says lr-
rigation Farmer. For if the rainfall
occurs In violent storms of short du-
ration and falls on an impervious un-
broken prairie, having considerable de-
clivity, it runs off into the valleys over
the impervious surface, or through the
porous soil, if such exists, into the
streams, leaving the soil dry, the at
mosphere hot, and the surface OF the
ground parched.
Observations show that there are
certain districts within the sub arid
region where the rainfall is concen-
trated into certain months, producing
a rainy season. When this occurs dur
ing the growing season of the year and
the temperature is not too high,
twenty inches will suffice for dry
farming.
Meteorologists, for the purpose OF
comparison, divide the rainfall OF Kan
sas into three belts, the eastern, mid
die and western.
The mean of observations for period
of fourteen years for these belts was
found to be 81, $50 and 1914 respect
lively. OF this last amount it is found
that 65 per cent of the annual rainfall
falls during the growing season of the
year, thus giving 19. 4x65 per cent equals
l2.6 inches, which for purposes OF col
lection for irrigation may be regarded
as the mean annual rainfall in that
region.
Long experience in the collection OF
water for city supply shows that 46 per
cent of the rainfall is available. which
gives 12.6x46 per cent equals 6 inches
nearly. This is the yearly average for
a period of years which may vary forty
times either way for given shorter
period.
The above shows the necessity for
two things, first, for the irrigation OF
a given area of land provision must be
made for ample storage room, and
second, in the interests of safety, that
ample overHows or spill-ways be made
to provide for the free discharge of the
surplus water that may flow into the
reservoir.
The promoters of irrigation projects
in western Kansas, in their demands
for aid from the government for sur
veying for reservoir sites and for their
instruction, would seem to be ignor-
ant of the physical characteristics OF
that region. In the mountain regions
of the west, narrow canons furnish
sites for dams which will impound
large quantities of water during the
periods of floods, while in western
Kansas, the source of supply of water
is the rainfall, and although there are
many depressions in the open prairie,
which could be made to store water
sufficient to irrigate many thousands
of acres of land the conditions are such
that the water can not be drawn out
by gravity SO as to be available for ir-
ripafion

unbranched, one and one half to four
feet high; leaves very long and broad,

This is one of the most useful of our

two to two and one half months
after sowing, it is an excellent catch

sown after most other crops are in,

Cultivation Of Currsnts and Gooseberr

Cultivation OF CurfontS ana GOoSeOOFEscSs
Currants should be planted in
rows north and south, in rows
five feet apart, and plants four
feet apart in the row. The
thicker the hills are set, SO they are
not crowded, the more they shade the
ground. Gooseberries should be
planted in rows six feet apart and five
feet apart in the row. We should al
ways set year-old plants, as 1-year-
old are dear as gift. The ground
should be we'll manured, and the
plants should be well cultivated for
two seasons.
After that give thorough cultivation
in the fall, cultivating very deep in
middle of the row, but not close
enough to the hills to disturb their
roots. After cultivating, clean out
and ix up the hills with the hoe. If
horse stable manure is to be had, or
old half rotted straw, mulch over the
whole surface of the ground as well as
around the hills.
Currants and.gooseberries like cool,
moist soil, and by mulching the whole
surface in the fall, and not disturbing
it in the spring or summer, it will hold
moisture, and keep the ground cool
until the fruit is grown, and it will be
free from all dust.
In the fall cut away all of the old
wood that can be cut, without inter
fering with the new growth, and keep
the hills we'll thinned out and train
them upright. Currants produ; ;e their
fruit on the old wood. but we should
keep the oldest wood cut out SO the
hills will not become SO thick as to
crowd the young canes.
Last season the late frosts killed the
currants on the ends of the stems, so
the punches were rather short, and
the drouth made the fruit somewhat
smaller than it would have been, so
by frost and drouth the crop was
materially shortened. But for all these
drawbacks we picked ten quarts to the
hill, 100 quarts to the rod of ground, and
twenty thousand (2O,OOO) quarts per
acre. At 10 cents per quart amounted
to two thousand dollars $4,000 per
acre. Allowing 81. 900 for cultivation,
for crates, boxes, picking, extra help.
expressage, and commission for selling,
we have one clean thousand dollars
profit from one acre. l did not look
for a large crop, neither were the
bushes loaded as they often are, and l
think have grown at least one third
more fruit per bush than the past
season. and that would make the profit
about $500 more per acre. This is
not stretching matters, for some hills
picked twelve quarts each the past
season.-L. X. Ballard in Farmers

be attended to. While the little trees
are coming up, if the weather is dry,
the beds must be carefully sprinkled
every evening. Use just enough water
to thoroughly dampen the sand on the
beds. Have some dry sand stored away
SO that during long spells Of rainy,
damp, foggy weather you can get and
sprinkle the beds with it after each
shower. This coating of dry sand
should be very thin, not over 1-32 of an
inch deep. Pull out the weeds before
they form the second set of leaves.
Keep the alleys clean with the use of

watched until the little plants have
formed their true leaves. The most
important objects to keep in mind are:
First-The birds must be kept of.
Second-The weeds and grass must be
pulled. Third-If the weather is too
dry, sprinkle; if too damp, use the dry
sand.
After the true leaves have formed
the plants require but little attention
except that wedding must be kept up.
When the ground begins to freeze in
the fall cover all the beds with wild
hay; use just enough to cover them

the trees will require no attention
