concerned. Irrigation has been some
what of bugbear to farmers always,
the idea being that 1t required costly
works and much labor to accomplish
it, and it has always been associated
with the utmost aridity of climate and
toilsome cultivation of the soil. But
if there are in existence any districts
where more than in others the profits
of the farm are greater, and the ease
OF cultivation greater, too, with the
certainty of maximum crops also
greater, they are the irrigated dis
tricts of the far East. Indeed, soma
of the causes of the depression in East
ern farming is due to the less cost OF
growing crops under irrigation, and
the ability of the farmers to sell the
products of their farms at low price,
such as other farmers cannot afford to
take. In fact, the time has come when
irrigation must be made a practice
wherever the water is available for it.
For 1t is one of the laws of vegetable
growth that this is in proportion to
the quantity OF water in the soil.
Dup ~ 10 III ono SloWth VI grass bUut
the application of water to the land
may be made the more profitable with
the least trouble. The myriads of
rivers and streams that flow through
this broad land down to the ocean
may all be impounded and made to
work for the farmer without cost, ex-
cept for the permanent works re.
quired; and some of these need only
be of the simplest kind. Here low
banks thrown up by the plow, or
otherwise by the horse scraper, will re-
tain tho water of stream when it is
high, while it deposits its load of dis
solved or suspended matters to add to
the bulk of the low lands along its
banks, and to increase the stock OF
plant food in 1t. The water thus flows
in at the higher end OF the embank.
ment and, slowly moving down to the
lower part of the stream, gives up its
load to the greedy soil, and hastens on
to the next farm, where it takes with
it its newly gathered spoils, leaving
them behind as it goes on and on
toward its final goal, the great ocean.
Lands thus embarked are quite
common all over Europe, and are so
productive of grass and the related
crops-all used for feeding--as to pay
the interest on value of $1,000 or
$4,000 an acre. If the irrigated lands
of the great West have lowered the
value of the Eastern farms. why should
not these take the same method of
cheapening their products, while the
quantity is increased, and SO restore
the old values to them? Irrigation,
wherever it is possible, is one way to
effect this improvement. New York
Times.

Have you ever watched your COWS
on bitter cold day sneak slowly up
to the water trough where you have
broken the ice and stick her tongue N
the cold water several times until she
got used to it, then take little sip
and little more until she could stand
no more of it. Then she will walk
slowly over the frozen ground until
she gets in the shelter of an old
wagon, and there with her back
bumped up she will stand for two or
three hours shivering until what feed
she has eaten has had time to warm
that water up to living temperature?
How long ought it to take a sensible
man to find out where all of his feed is
going, no matter whether it is milk
COW or dry one. Nearly every pound
she eats is needed to warm that water,
and little is left to repair the body,
much less to make milk or fat of. The
simplest kind of heating apparatus
will cost not over ten cents n day to
heat the water for small herd twice
Il day. 1t will pay for itself twice over
during the winter in food it will save
and the milk it will allow the cows to
make, and it will do the same in add
ing flesh to the other cattle, especially
the young ones.
Then go step further and buy some
boards to build II shed with that the
poor things may have a dry place to
stand and lie down under with a wind
break against the cold piercing storms
These are not only acts of humanity,
but they appeal directly to the pocket
book. They make the stacks OF hay,
the corn fodder and the meal bin go
nearly twice as far, to say nothing of
increasing the profits of the milch
COWS.
III liberal allowance of straw, leaves
or other trash is scattered under the
shed the amount of manure saved will
far more than repay the cost and
trouble of collecting it, while it great
ly adds to the comfort of the animals.
If you are not too tired by this time,
then get you sharp butchers saw and
take the horns off first from the boss
COWS and steers, and then the younger
ones. This is the best time of year to
do it, when there are no flies to bother.

Mortality OF Physicians.

DR.. Cortright, in the Brooklyn
Medical Journal, has written paper
on the "MortalIty and Causes of Death
in Medical Men," This paper is based
on the records of 450 physicians who
died in New York and Brooklyn
during the past eight years. The
average age of death was 54.6 years,
and the mortality was about 1928 as
compared with mortality of 1898 in
clergymen and 20.23 in lawyers.
There is considerable mortality from
the self-adminlstration of drugs; that
from consumption is about half the
general rate, while that from typhoid
fever is very high. There is high
death rate due to arterial sclerosis and
other degenerative changes.
The practical conclusion deducted
from DR.. Cortrights statistics, says
the Medical Journal, is that doctors
should take at least three weeks com.
plete rest and change yearly, should
be extremely moderate in the use OF
stimulants, should be regular in their
meals, never worry and never hurry.
This is the kind of advice that doctors
give, but do not take. The further
suggestion, however, that they all JOIN
some medical sickness and life assur-
ance society, is wise one. Medical

Most Unhealthy City in Europe.

At St. Petersburg the average yearly
deaths are from $500 to 5000 in excess
of the births in q population of nearly
million. In the years from 1868 to
1882 the death rate varied from 29.7
per thousand to 1876, while the births
were only 81. per thousand. In 1888,
25,171 children were born alive, while
there were 80, $50 deaths, an excess in
this year of about 5000. But these
figures are apt to be mieleading. The
workmen who come up to the capital
almost invariably leave their wives and
children in the provinces, Thus, many
births take place in the provinces
which are not reckoned to the account
of the capital. The fact that about
7S per cent. OF the population are
over sixteen years of age testiAes to the
universally of the practice OF leaving
the children in the country. The same
fact is demonstrated by the presence
of twelve men to every ten women in
st. Petersburg, whereas in most towns
this proportion is exactly reversed.
1t will thus be seen that though the
deaths are in excess OF the births, there
is not likely to be any diminution in
the actual population OF the town. In
fact, its population increased twenty
nine per cent. between 1859 and 1881.

A Hero of Tn.DnN.

The other night in the cellar of tho
New York Tribune building the big
engines were throbbing away with
potential energy that filed the great
structure with light and power.
Suddenly, says the Tribune, a pipe
was torn from its connections, and q
rush of escaping steam swept through
the furnaces like tornado. There was
panic, Nobody knew just what had
happened, and it was feared that the
boilers would explode at any moment.
1t was scene Of terror and confu.
zion, and brave man might have been
forgiven for giving way TO his fear.
But Bill Fitzpatrick, the assistant en-
gineer, never thought of his ow safe.
ty. He had but one idea: OTIS the
Tribune or myself" So he dashed
into the sitting steam, and rushed to
what threatened to be instant death.
Fitzpatrick found tho spot, averted
the danger and came out safe and
sound. Half an hour later everything
was moving along as usual, and few in
the building knew Of their narrow es-

his work. and never thought of claim
ing any credit for his timely heroism.
The Tribune makes the incident the
subject of an editorial in which it says
that the human nature of to-day is rs
chivalric, as generous and heroic as it
ever was IN the time of Roland and
Lancelot. II may not wear purple vel
vet and glittoring armor, but the
knightly metal rings just as true.
Many OF the heros whose deeds have
been immortalized in song and story
never showed mora courage, loyalty
aud devotion than this humble toiler,
Bill Fitzpatrick, who has spent his life
in the cellar of n printing ollice. AS the
Tribune says, "the world is better be-

such deed, and the knowledge of their
existence comes us an inspiration to

Indian Tents at Night,

Pleasing as the tents are by day,
with the waving shadows of the grass
or the broad hecks of sunlight from
between the branches of the trees
upon their white sides, which shade
into dull brown at the tops, where
the skin-covering is discolored by the
smoke ascending in lazy, blue. columns,
the true time to enjoy the beauty Of
an Indian camp is at night. Then the
tents are illuminated by central fire,
and are all aglow under the stars, the
silhouettes of the inmates creating an
animated shadow world. Here one
catches the picture OF q group of chill.
dren watching an elder twisting his
fingers to form fox chasing n rabbit
on the tent wall (perhaps some one is
telling a myth about the little fellow,
for suddenly. the shadow rabbit sits ur
waving his ears as though he had out,
witted his pursuer) yonder a woman
is lifting the pestle, pounding corn in
the great wooden mortar near by are
some young girls with their heads to-
gether, whispering secrets; old men
recline on one elbow, smoking; and
over there young man is bidding the
baby boy dance; while the sound OF
song and friendly chatter fills the air.
The picture is of life simple and con
tented within itself.-Century.

TREATMENT OF FROZEN PLANTS,

'When the days begin to lengthen,
the cold begins to strengthen" is an
OLD weatherwise saying which is so
true that often the window plants
which have come through December
unscathed will be frozen in January,
writes 'S. c." When one rises in the
morning to find them in such plight
making up the fire and warming the
room as soon as possible will be fatal
to all but the most hardy. On the
other hand, if they are removed to q
closet or the cellar and allowed to
thaw gradually in the dark, many OF
them will be injured very little. /
have frequently had geraniums come
through the ordeal none the worse for
it. Many persons cut the plants down
at once, when they have been frosted,
but this is not necessary with geran-
iums or shrubby plants, as they will
usually put forth new leaves in short
time.
Begonias thrive better than most
plants in the warm air of the sitting
room, and hence are favorite plants
for the window garden, but they are
very susceptible to frost. A few va.
rieties, the Vernon and Weltoniensis
among them, will sprout up from the
roots after being frozen down, but my
experience with other kinds has been
that it is useless to try to save them in
such case.
Last winter had hyacinths in full
bloom frozen one very cold night.
The hyacinth before it flowers will
bear considerable freezing, but it
seemed scarcely possible to save the
waxen bells of the flower spike. How
ever, they went into the woodbox as
soon as its contents had been emptied
into the stove. A covering thick
enough to exclude the light, and also
the air for some time, was thrown over
it. After some hours I peeped in.
They had thawed, but the spikes were
dropping sadly. They were allowed
to remain in the dark all day, and by
the next morning scarcely showed the
effects of the cold. As precaution
against freezing it is well to water
sparingly in very cold weather. The
few "green things growing" kept in
the windows brighten the home so
much in winter that it is always pity
to lose them. New York Tribune.
