Use Of wind Mills.

g. u been demonstrated during the
last season In all the Middle and West
ern States, chat most growing crops
would be benefited by having more
water while they are growing, than
they usually receive from the rains as
they are distributed during the sum-
mer season. Irr; ,.tion in what is
called moist climates, where the rain
fall is as much as from thirty-six to
forty inches per annum, has been in
troduced with profit in gardening for
years. This was on limited scale,
and in most cases used only as sup
plement to the rainfall, or in times
when there was unusual drought. 1t
has been shown in regions almost en-
tirely dependent upon irrigation, that
plants grow much more vigorously
when the supply of water is regulated
and just in the quantity necessary fol
the growing crop; that the distribu-
tion of the supply of water at proper
intervals is of great advantage to the
crop.
To prevent an over-supply when the
rains are frequent, understanding has
been resorted to, and has been found
of advantage even on uplands sown in
wheat or cultivated in corn, but in
droughts the waters drained off by
tiles would be of great value if it could
be distributed over the ground from
which it has been removed. This
need of water when there is not suffi-
cient rain has led to suggestion of con-
structing reservoirs to hold until it is
needed what has been wasted; whether
this method can ever be put into prac-
tice to supply large farms in times of
drought, must await time and consider
able experimenting before it can be
settled. But there can be no doubt
that for small patches where intense
farming and vegetable culture is the
chief object, some modification of
this method can be used with profit.
The lay of the land or the underlying
strata of rock may have something to
do with the method to be adopted for
supply of water. If the rainfall can
be saved in ponds it must be distrib-
uted to higher grounds by some power
which is pretty constant and without
much cost.
The use of the wind engine has been
found to be very effective for this
purpose. A good wind engine will
pump large amount of water into an
elevated tank from which it con be
distributed to garden and truck patches
close by, at very small cost. If
there should be no pond to hold waste
water, driven well or one drilled into
the rock will supply the needed water
without fail. Wind mills are now
largely in use with gardeners and for
lists for this purpose and would be
valuable additions to almost every
farmer who is ambitious to have q
good garden and truck patch; besides
they would alwayc supply, if placed
over o well, abundance of fresh
water for his cattle and hogs and
stock of all kinds. Every farm where
there is not running water at sufi-
cient elevation to supply the barnyard
and the garden with the water they
need ct the right time should have a
wind mill to held IN this work. It can
be had at q small outlay and will
work itself with very small amount
of care.
Farmers should not let the wind go
to entire waste, as they should not the
water, when they can use both to so
much profit to themselves. Farm

special to the Times-Union from ST.
Augustine says: The Hotel San Marco,
one of the finest and most commodious
hotel properties in this city, burned to
the ground this morning, entailing a
loss of $25O,OO0, with less than $4,000
insurance.
1t was a few minutes past o'clock
this morning when Jake Masters, from
the Ontagus residence, discovered fire
in the boiler room in the San Marco
hotel. He Immediately fired pistol
and notified Edward Mcbride, who has
charge of the property and who lives
in the hotel. Marshall Highch and Of
ficer Bennett were soon on the scene
and an alarm was sounded. 1t was
discovered that the tncendiaries had
cut the fire bell rope, and steam Whis-
ties had to be resorted to. Those who
gathered at the first call did not wait
for the engines and hose, but attached
the hotel hose to the well on the
grounds and commenced the fight. One
engine reached the scene but its work
was delayed, owing presumably to the
fire bugs having cut holes in the sue
ton pipes which supply water from the
hydrant.

the true logical method. Nor does he
believe it necessary to redeem all of
the silver coin and paper in gold. as
the wants Of the people are fully ade-
quate to keeping in active circulation
the $3.50, ,000, 900 of this money now afloat
as evidenced by the successful prac-
tice In France. In the West, South
and middle sections Of the country,
where gold is not called for for export,
this form Of money suff1ces for all
business needs, and practically there
is no difficulty in securing its redemp-
ton in gold when wanted through de-
posits in banks. Moreover, the re-
demption by the government Of silver
would require the locking UP OF large
gold reserve in the treasury, and con-
strict the circulation. Mr.. Leech IA
vors the repeal of the act Of May 81,
1878, requiring the reissue Of United
States notes coming into the treas
ury, and would leave 1t optional with
the treasury to reissue these notes only
in case of need. This alone would
insure the stability of the gold stand
ard. He regards as prospective and
not imminent danger from the MAIN
tenance of legal paper money circula-
ton, and believes that 1t can be grad
ualIy retired by the coming Of silver
bullion both into dollars and subsidiary
coins. Money panics, he thinks, are
aggravated by the accumulation of
country bank deposits in New York,
from whence it is withdrawn rapidly
just when needed there. Therefore, he
would abolish reserve cities and re-
quire national banks throughout the
country to keep about 15 per cent cash
in reserve in their own vaults, insuring
uniform distribution of money.
