According to dispatches from Wilmer

that all these men voted for Mckinley

From The Poultry and Farm Journal.
Too tnany Of onr people seem to think
that because they are growing crops ..by.
iriieationr nothing - necessary, after
planting. except to ''irrieate No
greater mistake oould be made, for by
no system of farming is the result Of
stirring the soil 20 quickly apparent y
where irrigation is'prscticsd. While ir-
rieation may be raid to maks cultivation
perfect. the soil will be injured to =
greater extent by lack Of cultivation
whero the moistr re ID supplied By irri-
CATION Than where the natural rainfall
alone il depended upon. Although We
often see the fruit grower. - we'll a the
ordinary farmer. using too much water
on the land, We never need to caution
anyone aRsinst too much cultivation.
And since the developement Of such
large areas Of new land here in the
weat is appropriating the watsr supply
to such an extent % to cause the adop-
ton Of all sorts Of schemes for the stor-
ing and saving Of the overflow at times
when not in use, and for the greater
utilization aud more economic use Of
that which is available. it will pay to
substitute, as far as possible, cultivation
forirrigatlon.
Every year We note decided inn
provement in case Of orchards through
out the irrigated districts. We have all
learned that no crop should be flooded
where it is practicable to apply the
water in fiirrowss it is clsar to most Of
us that q very small stream will soak
the ground better than large, rapid
one, which washes the soil and must
waste great deal Of water; we are also
being convinced OF the great gain where
the ground to be cultivated is therouph-
" irrigated duiing.th fall and winter.
This is also one Of the most important
principles in irrigation, for the subsoil is
thereby saturated 70 great depth. and
BY surface cultivation during the follow
ing season. the moisture thus stored is
brought up from this natural reservoir
and saves much water during the grow
ing season.
Owing to the great variety of soils
that will be found on the lands worked
by our readers in the different parts OF
the country. no rules can be laid dow,
- to the amount Of water that will have
to be used on the different crops. Any
soil, when it is first put into cultivation,
viii require much more than in ate,
years. and on most soils it will be found
that the more and deeper the stirrinp
that is given. the more readily will the
water be absorbed and the Less frequent
will the applications be required.

The Efficacy of Prayer.

By-the-way, here is little story from
an Australian paper, which shows-well,
see for yourselves. 1t is said to have
occurred while the yacht Spray, in which
Captain Slocum sailed around the world
by himself, was laying in Newcastle
Harbor, N. S. W., when the John Will
Hams, belonging to the London Missionary
Society, entered the port for coal
The missionaries paid Captain Slocum a
visit, and openly expressed their aston
ishment at the hardihood of man who
could trust himself lone handed in mid
ocean in such a craft. Their astonish-
ment became still greater when they saw
his navigating instruments, which con-
sisted OF rusty sextant, an old fashioned
chronometer and a battered telescope.
You must indeed trust great deal in
Providence" said one of the reverend
gentlemen. ''Well, yes, sometimes l
do said Slocum. The following day
was shown all round. The chartroom
ed with couple of Sir William Thomp-
sons spirit compasses, three of the latest
type of chronometers, and with all the
ments. Slocum examined them with
great attention, and then gravely said, 81
guess, gentlemen, you don trust much to
Providence in this hooker"
And, indeed, it seems to me that Slocum
had the best of that round, at any rate.
However, | don't feel sure that the mis-
sionaries are to blame. | remember,
many years ago, when | was a Sunday
school scholar, | subscribed with tolera-
bic liberality to the building of a mission
airy ship-which was also called the John
Wllliams-which we prayed might be pro-
tected from the dangers OF the deep, with
great fervor and pertinacity. Instead of
which, our ship went down on her first
voyage. | have never been a shipowner
since then, and believe | lost little of my
faith in the efficacy of prayer--iust as
the missionaries seem to have done. Mo Mt

In London the aristocratic bowling club
is called the ''Prince's." Albert Edward
often drops in to lock on, but does not
twiIl the wooden ball. His Royal High
ness is getting too heavy; and he realizes
that the spectacle of a future King of
England exertipg himself on the alley,
would not be the most dgnified thing in
the world.
Lady Randolph Churchill, who was Miss
Jennie Jerome of New York, and who has
been an acknow lodged beauty in London
for more than twenty years, though no
longer in her youth, is the champion lady
bowler of the club. The grace and ease
with which she does all sorts of difficult
shots call forth rounds of applause, the
Prince being one of her wafmest admirers.
Here in New York, the Four Hundred
have the same sort of club. 1t is called
the Knickerbocker, and meets Monday
evenings at the Club House on Columbus
Avenue. Unless one is member, one
cannot enter on that particular evening.
Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Jr., carries the palm.
She is considered by many to be even a
more skillful bowler than Lady Churchill.
l met her the other day promenading on
Fifth Avenue in stunning gown of can
vas cloth of a rich dahlia color. The

tic tab reaching to the sleeve, and giving

Cancer
Can be Cured.

1t is very often that the most insig-
nihcant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in majority Of cases it
is first indicated by a very small pirn-
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura E. Minis has resided at
Smithville, Georgia, for years, andis
we'll known throughout the adjoining
country. In d recent letter she tells
of a wonderful case.
She says: A small pifnple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; it soon charged to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inflaned, and was so
swollen, that for quite while l could
not see. The doctors said l had Can

after exhausting their efforts without
doing me any good, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said must die, as hered-
itary Cancer was incurable. 1 was
terribly reduced in health, and felt as
if my life was was ting away.

sore or scab, it matters not how small,

Confidence the Keynote to Success

''Doubt and unbelief mean destruction
to any business, and man who loses
confidence in his own affairs finds failure
awaiting him in a short time,'' writes
Evangelist Moody to his Bible Glass in the
April Ladies' Home journal. ''Uncer-
tainty disqualifes for work and usefulness
in every sphere of life. 1t was uncer-
tainty and doubt that caused the recent
state of depression in our business in
terests. Financiers and economists diff
fered in their views regarding the political
causes of this feeling of insecurity, but
they generally agreed in directly attribut-
ing the reverses to the lack of assurance
in business circles. Confidence is essential
to success in every pursuit of life. And
this selfsame truth is no less evident in
Spiritual things than it is in temporal
affairs. The only Christian life that is
useful to the Church of God and to fellow
men is the one which is assured of it's
own salvation. Distrust and unbeief
mean sadness and care to any soul; but
joy and rest come with the certain knowl-
edge of forgiveness and favor with
God.'

broad effect to the figure 1t was trim
med with black braid The sleeves also
were trimmed at the wrist with the braid.
1t fitted the figure closely; and the toilette
was elegant, both in design and coloring.
She wore smart velvet toque with mign-
onette and violets, and paradise feather
at the side.
Mrs Richard Mansfield Beatrice Cam
eron), wife and leading woman of the
brilliant but eccentric actor, goes into So
ciety perhaps more than any other actress
in New York. 1t may not be generally
known, but she comes of old Puritan
stock, and in her demure appearance and
ways always suggests the Puritan maiden
to those who know her off the stage. She
is lady to her finger tips. 1t is said she is
the only person who can coax this modern
Richard to be ''himself again. She is a
connoisseur and collector of art; and her
collection is worth many thousands OF
dollars.
At the Cyrus Field sale she was among
the buyers picking up rare bits.
Her gown was very quiet yet ''swagger'
in Appearances beautiful piece of cloth
in dark blue, figured with faint dot of

cut open in front and coming just below
the waist, with collar and regulation

glove. She wore soft front Of cream
chiffon. The tlaring skirt was of q stylish
cut, with belt attached. Mrs. Mansfield
looked, indeed, the elegant little Puritan
she is.
