Pumping Water For Irrigation.

Figures are given in the Kansas Farm
er which make it appear that it is MOI
only feasible, but practicable, to pump
water for irrigation. 1t is claimed that
this can be done at less cost than the
average New York or New England
farmer expends annually por acre for
phosphates. 1t is not claimed, however.
that it is practicable to irrigate from
wells upon tho uplands-that is, where
the water lies 100 feet or more from the
surface. But where it is desired to raise
small quantity of water that is suffi-
cient to take care Of an orchard and
small garden tract, say five acres. this
can be done with q vertical steam pump.
or deep we'll pump, as it is termed, Mt q
fair cost. But to raise large quantity
Of water, sufficient to irrigate any large
amount Of land, would require an out
lay per acre greater than the value oi
tho land, and then the expense of pump
ing would be SO much greater

LETTUCE FOR MARKET.

Packing Lettuce For shipping to Distant
Markets--Delivery to Home Markets.
A prominent grower Of lettuce for
market has the following to say concern
ing its packing and shipment in Ameri-
can Gardening: From our personal OBJ
servation, and so far as we are able to
learn from correspondence, we are of the
opinion that tho methods used in pack.
ing lettuce for shipping purposes are
about the same in the different parts of
tho country.
II to be sent amy distance, barrels are
most commonly used as package. Dur
ing warm weather it becomes necessary
to ventilate them, by means Of holes
ont or bored in the staves, but in the
winter season, ON the other hand, the
barrels must be SO prepared that frost
will not be likely to enter. To effect this
they are lined with newspapers or other
paper, and If properly handled by the
transportation companies there is sell
dom any loss
The methods Of packing properly neo-
essarily differ with the kind Of lettuce
grown, whether upright growing sorts
like the Grand Rapids. or flattened, cab
bage kinds, Of the Tenniss,all habit.
Grand Rapids growers, for the most part.
pack in tiers, with the leaves placed
horizontally. From two to four heads
are taken up at one time in the hand
and placed in the barrel, and others are
then put in so as to form rows running
around it. Some shippers think it best
to arrange it SO that the stems will be
covered by the leaves of the, e,next bunch
es, while others place the butts upon the
heads previously put in If necessary,
one or more heads are added. to form q
solid tier. Although it does not look as
we'll when opened, tho general opinion
seems to be that the lettuce ships fully as
we'll and can be taken out much better
if the butts are placed upon and over,
tapping the heads, thus affording ham
die by which they can be taken out
Layer after layer is put in in this way.
until the barrel is full. Papers are then
placed over the top of the barrel, and a
cover Of burlap is put on and held in
place by means of hoop.
For the cabbage sorts the barrel is
prepared in the same way, and the let
tuce is packed in tiers, with the butts
up. It can be seen that these varieties
with flattened heads cannot we'll be
pack ed in any other way. With this ex-
ception, there is little, If any, difference
in the methods of packing.
When the market is sufficiently near
to admit of the delivery Of the lettuce tc
the dealers by the grower, each consults
his own convenience. Perhaps the most
common packages are boxes about by
8 by foot in depth. These are so made
that they will nest one above the Other
and fit closely in the wagon. Some
growers prefer to use baskets for this
purpose, however, and the fiat so called
market baskets answer well, although
many use ordinary busha baskets fol
we'll grown Grand Rapids and other tai
kinds. -

Fowl. For the preetliug Pen.

Make up the breeding pen about the
1st Of January unless early broilers are
desired, when November or December
is none too early. Where it is desired to
produce eggs for market, January will
secure pullets which make the hest win
ter layers. In this selection hardness and
activity must be considered, the first be-
ing the most important. Choose only the
most vigorous. One of the chief causes
Of infertile eggs is improper mating.
For young pullets select vigorous cocks
in their second year. Mate old hens with
cockerels not less than 10 months old.
Eggs from immature pullets are often
infertile or produce inferior chicks.
Never allow a lnongrel cock in poul
try yard. There is not much to be gain
ed by keeping mongrel hens, although
they are sometimes useful in grading up
the flock. Always use pure bred male,
and if mongrel hens are kept let the
weak points in the hens be strong ones
in the male. He must be perfectly
healthy, active and graceful. Breeding
fowls which arc confined must be given
all possible care. Be careful not to over
feed. Heavy feeding may make them
plump and glossy, but their offspring
will be weak and sickly.

sowing Red Glover.


Red clover seed is usually sown in
the spring. II sown very early, severe
frosts afterward may destroy the young
plants. If sown later, there is some
danger that dry weather may come on
before the young plants have become
we'll rooted. 1t is safer to SOW as soon
as danger Of severe freezing is past.
Sowing on late snow is liked much
by many, as the snow helps the sower
to secure uniform distribution of the
seed, and as it melts the snow helps
carry the seed into the soft surface. 1t
is usually difficult to at once harrow or
roll the soil if the seed is sown early
because of the moisture. If seeding is
delayed, or if the surface is dry enough,
light narrowing or rolling is desirable.
It is assumed the soil is in good condi-
tion.
If the ground is in good condition, 10
to 10 pounds per acre should be an
abundance of seed. If the ground is not
we'll prepared, it may be we'll to SOW
more. expecting considerable percent
age Of the seed not to grow. We like
the plan of twice sowing-sowing half
the seed and then cross sowing with the
other half. This helps to secure more
even distribution of the seed. The
young plants should be allowed tolget
a fair growth before they are cut or
eaten off, and at no time the first season
should they be closely pastured.

MAKING BEESWAx.


A Nov and Ensy Process ~ Described ~
. Southern Deekeeper.
have Just discovered new and easy
why to make beeswAx, and just as fine
wax as can be made by the solar PLAN
no difference how old and tough the
combs are.
Take q half barrel and arrange cloth
30 that 1t will swing down about half
way Of the barrel. Any strong porous
cloth will do or wire cloth Is good.
Then boil the old combs in copper or
tin vessel till all is thoroughly heated,
putting the combs right into the water,
just as II you were going to cook it.
Have some clean, boiling water in an.
other vessel-enough to fill the half bar
rel one-third full. Pour the boiling wa.
ter into the half barrel first, then pour
the melted combs, water and all, into the
strainer. Cover up the barrel with two
thicknesses Of gunny sacking, let it alone
for day or two, then go around when
you are ready for the wax, loosen the
hoops SO as to let out the water and you
will feel astonished to see how nearly
all the wax Is drained out.
The larger the amount of combs you
have the larger barrel you will need
The hot water in the barrel keeps the
whole contents hot for 12 hours, gives
oil the dirt and dregs time to settle to
the bottom, tho wax oools SO slowly that
it does not crack, the slaves of the bar
rel spread out and leave the wax. All
in all, it is the easiest way to make
beeswax, aside from the solar plan, that
know of, and can be done at any time
of the year, and no combs are too old OF
tough to work, as with the solar plan.
And then we have our wax thoroughly
cleansed at one operation.
If you will only give this plan a trial,
you will find that you can do away with
a whole lot of muss and bother, and the
whole operation Of making 25 to &c
pounds of wax need not take more thar
one hour of your time.
