IRRIGATION OF GARDENS.

The Importance of irrigation of gar
dens and farm lands is a matter of
rapidly increasing interest to those
concerned. Irrigation has been some
what of bugbear to farmers always,
the idea being that 1t required costly
works and much labor to accomplish
1t, and it has always been associated
with the utmost aridity of climate and
toilsome cultivation of the soil. But
IL 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, some
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 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.
But it is in the growth of grass that
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 the 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, aud 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 It's
load to the greedy soil, and hasteus on
to the next farm, where it takes with
1t its newly gathered spoils, leaving
them behind rs 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 to pay
the interest on a 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.

TREATMENT OF FROZEN PLANTS.

when the days begin to lengtheu,
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 rs. 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-
lums 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 a case.
Last winter had hyacinths in full
bloom frozen one very cold night.
The hyaeinth 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 empted
into the stove. A covering thick
enough to exclude the light, and also
the air for some time, was thrown over
1t. After some hours l 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 a precau ton
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 a pity
to lose them. New York Tribune.

How the Earth Loses Tim p

The explanation OF Lord Kelvin's
estimate that tue "set back" of the
earth in its daily rotation round its axis
amounts to twenty-five seconds per
century is reported to be that such
retardation is owing to the friction
caused by the tides, the latter acting
as brake, and such action is calculat-
ed, according to the same authority,
to be equal in weight to some 400, 900
tons applied on the equator Other
causes, he says, have also to be taken
into account, as, for example, the in.
crease IN the size of the earth, due 10
the falling on it of meteUric dust,
which, il deposited at the rate of one
tootin 1000 years, would produce the
observed retardation by itself. Fur
ther, such phenomenon as the annual
growth and melting of snow aud ice at
the poles, by abstracting water from
the other parts of the ocean, intro
duces Irregularities into the problem,
the abstraction accelerating the earth's
motion, and the melting, by restoring
the water, retard'ug it.-Boston Jour-
nal of Commerce.

soFrEvrNc BONES WITH LIME.

1t is not the lime that softens the
bones when they are mixed with fresh
wood ashes and lime, and the whole
kupt moistened with water, but the
potash, The potash in the water is in
q mild condition, in the form OF car
Donate of potash, but the lime takes
the carbonlc acid from the ashes and
makes the potash caustic. The caus-
tic potash is very acrid, and eats the
lime in the bones and so softens them
that they may be crumbled with ease
after months exposure to the mixed
ashes and lime in pit; so that with.
out the ashes it is not possible to
soften the bones; the wood ashes are
indispensable. When bones are burned

ance: S-
Woe unto them, is Gods red. light, waving
Mt the edge of the boitomless pit. !. 1t is
warming; not decree OF vengeance.
There is as much of Gods owe in warn
ing as there is in a promise.
Tho man who begins by drinking some
time, may end by having to drink all the
time.
Better stay in bed all day than get up early
in the morning to drink.
Wine opens the damper to let all the fires
OF evil In man burn.
There Is no sin that q man inflamed with
wine may not commit.
When q man gets up early IN the morning
to drink he is apt to spend the day in doing
nothing else.
Whoever forms the drink habit gives the
devil mortgage ON his sleep.
The sparkle in the wine is made by one OF
the DEVILS sharpest teeth.
When the devil would run his claws clear
through q man aud clinch them on the other
side he makes him believe that moderate
drinking won't hurt him.
Appetite for drink Is the DEVILS iron chain
on the druukard's neck.
If angels know what the saloons are doing,
it must puzzle them TO understand why God
holds the judgment back.
Many man puts his family in the dark to
help the saloon pay its gas bill.
Every moderate drinker is leading an army
OF boys toward the pit.
The easiest time to let drink alone Is be-
fore the first drink is taken.

CARE OF THE COWS.

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 in
the cold water several times until she
got used to it, then take a 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 a 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 day to
heat the water for a small herd twice
a day. Ii 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 so step further and buy some
boards to build shed with that the
poor things may have dry place tu
stand and lie down uLjer with a wind
break against the cold piercing storms.
These are nut only acts OF humanity,
but they appeal directly to the pocket
book. They make the stacks o' hay,
the corn fodder aud the meat bin GO
nearly twice as far, to say nothing OF
increasing the profits OF the milcl

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Dairymen should always remember
it is dangerous to use the milk from a
! sick COW.
Get good churn. They are plenty
and cheap. Time is too precious to
waste over poor churn.
If milk is properly pasteurized
there is no cooked favor present such
as is noted in sterilized milk.
In manipulating butter, never allow
| the handH to come in contact with it
as their warmth melts and Injuries the
grain.
AS the conclusion of various exper-
iments, the cost of keeping dairy
COW, without roots or silage, is put at
$50 year.
Young trees should be cultivated for
some years after planting, as this is an
essential condition of their making
vigorous growth.
Now is a good time to cut out all
useless, weak, or spindling wood in
the orchard. A twig that can be cut
with knife now may require a saw
next year.
1t Is important that the COW should
be given "A smooth surface for lying
down. Dry bedding should be pro-
vided and cold drafts of air excluded
from the table.
When packing apples for market
preserve uniformity in size as much
as possible. Select the largest and
finest TO form an extra fine quality to
sell at a fancy price.
Trees which are heeled in during the
winter should not be covered with hay
or straw, as such material draws mice
and other rodents, which gnaw the
/ young trees and destroy them.
The colder apples are kept without
freezing the better. They will endure
n much lower temperature than will
/ potatoes, but when stored in cellar,
good ventilation is necessary and as
even a temperature as possible.
All young hogs IN the orchard should
be left unringed and free to root the
soil rs much as they like. Ringing
older hogs is sometimes Necessary, as
in dry time old sows will get in the
habit, IT unrlnged, OF gnawlng the bark
OF the trees and thus causing irrepar-
able injury.
The appearance of moss on apple
Trees shows that there is an excess of
water in the soil. The land should be
drained for orchards as for other crops.
S!agnant water is of no benefit. A
system OF understanding should be
employed, so that the subsoil will hold
more moisture Tor the use of the roots.
Every farmer should teach his boys
the art OF budding and grating
Variety and quality of fruits in small
orchard may oe greatly improved by
judicious budding, and such work may
be made a pastime which will add in
Jerest TO iarm life and also increase
the satisfaction from the family

Rev. ]. w. Horsley, NJ. A., an eminent
English clergyman and reform leader, on
being asked recently, (which produces more
crime, do you thinG drink or gambing?"
replied: Drink, undoubtedly. Gambling is
an increasing plague among men, and also
among women. But it is not a noticeable
cause OF crime among women, though l be-
lieve II will be. At present crimes through
gambling are chiefly confined to certain
elasses-such as clerks and postohice men.
But drink counts for every form of crime
suicide, stealing, murder. In England and
Wales fifty per cent. Of crime is directly, aud
twenty-five per cent. indirectly. attributed to
intemperance, which is slightly decreasing
among men, but largely increasing among
women OF all classes. Other chief causes of
crime are the absence OF direct moral teach
ing in schools. Sabbath-schools, and from
the pulpit; the love of luxury and finery and
the absence OF cumulative or progressive
system OF punishment for the same offences.
Poverty is to very small extent the cause
of crime"
