To Prohibit Fishing.

The farmers Of Barnesville and vicinitya are
determined to stop fishing. Notices are being
put up everywhere along the creeks and
screens are being erected to prevent the fish
from escaping. The action of the farmers is
being severely criticised. The Supreme
Court has decided that unless the fish have
been propogated by man living along a
stream that stream is not private Fish that
are merely put in a stream to grow are not
private. Neither is pond private that is not
wholly on mans land. A man, whose ground
only partly surrounds the pond, cannot claim
the fish IN it, and all his signs fosbidding
trespassers amount to nothing.

After His Money.

Yesterday morning three masked men en-
tered the house of Jacob Coople, of Lewis
town, near Tamaqua, and demanded his
money. Upon refusal the robbers bound
him and placed a lighted kerosene lamp
under his feet. He was burned and beaten
until he finally disclosed trunk containing
Sill and a closet containing 500. Believing
Coople had more money they again tortured
him until Coople was insensible, and they
departed. His cries were heard and he was
released. Coople is a bachelor about 65 years
of age and is thought to be wealthy. No
trace of the robbers has been found.

The expense of an lrrigating plant
and the cost of operating it will depend
upon the distance the water has to be
raised and carried to get it upon the
land as well as the method of moving
it. Professor Taft of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural college says that windmill
with Il pump, we'll and reservoir suit
able for from three to five acres, should
not cost more than from $500 to $500 if
the water does not have to be raised more
than 40 feet, and there would be com
paratively little expense for operating it.
"A pumping plant, operated by a
steam or gasoline engine, suitable for 20
acres and capable of supplying 80 or so
acres, would cost perhaps 81, 600. The
cost of fuel for the latter would perhaps
be II cents per acre for eleyating the
water required for one application,
reckoning il at | per cent per horse
power for each hour operated, while for
the steam engine it would be about
twice that amount Using a steam en-
CINE and Il centrifugal pump, water for
one application for 10 acres can be
raised 40 feet for about 81, including
cost of attendance, and So will distrib.
ute ii upon the land, making the cost,
aside from the interest upon the invest
ment, rather less than 81 per acre. With
"a gasoline engine it would be 81. 30 for
fuel and So for applying the water, or
50 cents per acre for each application.

NEW METHOD OF IRRIGATION.
II Combines the Two Systems of Surface
and Subirrigation.

Surface and subirrigation out of doors
is the subject of bulletin 81 from the
New Hampshire college agriculture ex-
pertinent station. This bulletin is de-
signed with reference to small areas
and conditions widely differing from
the arid regions of the west In this
publication L. William Kane gives an
account of plan which combines the
TWO systems of surface and subirriga
ton. BY this new system irrigation Is
accomplished by placing tiles slightly
under the surface of the ground or at any
convenient depth, giving them a slight
incline, this varying according "a you
have pressure or not. The object is to
get the water at the roots Of the plants
with as little waste as possible.
The plan followed by the writer quot.
ed last year was to place common po-
rous ~ inch draintiles in continuous
row, end to end, on the surface Of the
soil, and vegetables were planted on
either or both sides of the line The
tiles were one foot long and by pour
ing in the water at one end of the line
IL Wds ulSiIlDutth at iut JOlllts tHlphS II
out the length desired when the oppo-
site end was stopped up. He planted
celery as stated, and while it was young
had simply surface irrigation, but as
the crop grew and was banked up and
finally the tile covered there was sub
irrigation. He says
The tiles are cheap and last indefi-
nitely When the celery is harvested,
the tiles are dug out also and piled up
or used for subirrigation i'll the green
house beds. Potatoes and various other
crops can be grown in the same way.
The celery watered grew well and did
not rust. Besides this, we were able to
water 20 times us much space III the
same time as in the ordinary way with
bitches Besides saving time, this plan
delivers water where it is most needed,
and, we have reason to believe, Is fully
as economical with water as with time.
The water in this instance, entered the
upper end of the tile through ordinary
garden hose connected with the hydrant.
Mr. Kane also found that the tiles when
laid lengthwise in the old fashioned
garden bed, where the rows run Cross
wise and comparatively close TO each
other, assisted greatly in rapid water
ing. Where celery is grown in beds for
self blanching the same method Of wa
tering is very advantageous.

Figures furnished by the department

Lesson In Strawberry Culture.

Strawberry growers in southern New
Jersey are having lesson now in straw
berry growing The crop is failure
Some say it is because Of the weevil
others ascribe it to fnngous growth,
while few think it is due to the sud
den changes from the long continued
cold to unusual heat and to cold again,
this being the weather that made their
spring. The Philadelphia Ledger quotes
Mr. Eli Minch, Shiloh, us saying that
the disease appears to be "a kind of
blight, somewhat resembling winter
kill II appears first on the leaf stem
near the plaintiffs turning black, the
leaves becoming Of sickly color, The
disease spreads to the crown then to the
roots, which soon rot. The disease Will
be likely to spread through the state I'M
less the growers everywhere turn to and
spray with the bordeaux. This viii
check the disease, and, what IS Of more
importance, will prevent it.

Watering Horses.

1t used to be the rule to keep horses
from drinking mt noon or night after
they had been working through the
forenoon or afternoon until they had
eaten their feed and had cooled down
This was considered necessary in order
to prevent injury from taking cold water
while the system is heated. But this is
cruel to the horses, as they cannot eat
what they should if they are parched
with thirst. The better way is to give
each horse in the middle of the forenoon
"a pail of water into which small guam
tity of oatmeal has been stirred. This
will refresh and invigorate the horse
without doing any injury and will pre-
vent him from being injured by drink
ing freely at noontime. The drink, being
nourishing, rallies the strength and en-
ables the animal to do great amount
of work without failure. American

Reservoirs In Nebraska.

J. A. Ford tells in The Irrigation
that reservoirs are easily and cheaply
constructed. They are made by throw
ing up embankments of earth to the
height of from six to eight feet then
the water is pumped in, and cattle or
horses are turned III and driven about
until the bottom and sides are thor
oughly puddlcd. Sometimes heavy clay
is hauled from some clay bed or bank
Again, the farmers hitch their horses to
drag or scrapcr and drive the team
around within until the bottom and
sides are securely packed and made
water tight.
