find its way to the tree roots, and down
as the main tap root conducts it, un-
til the moisture is taken up by the
many branches and rootlets. For
vines the boxes are smaller, and may
be made from old tin cans, buckets,
pieces of thing or any discarded vessel.
A favorite and handy device for con-
veying water from the source to the
boxes is found in Texas and Arizona,
and consists of a barrel fastened to a
two-wheeled cart or truck. The bar
rel is filled and then wheeled about
by hand to the several boxes, where
the irrigation water is turned in by
means of a short hose attached to
the barrel. This places the water
where needed, precludes all possibility
of waste and overcomes the objections
to surface irri gation. The trees grow
more thrifty and are therefore less
attacked by insects and blight. Roots
penetrate to greater depth, giving
the tree frmer hold and preventing
sprouts from coming up, as they fire.

gated tree. The ground can be cult
waited at any time, and the surface soil
is free from water, grass and noxious
weeds brought on by surface irriga-
ton. An orchard, vineyard or melon
patch treated in this manner will yield
better, more uniform and salable
fruits, and the fears of drought be
banished.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm

IDEA FROM THE WEST.
How Box Irrigation IL Practiced in
Many Sections of the So-Called
Arid Regions.

Box irrigation, as practiced in many
sections of the arid west, is cheap
method of saving fruit trees and vines
from the effects of drought, and might
be adopted with profit by the fruit
growers and market gardeners of the
eastern and middle states. It is easily
managed from any source of supply,
such as wells, ponds, creeks or springs:
and in dry seasons will return many
times the cost in increased yield of
fruits, melons and general vine prod
ucts. The boxes are made of rough
planks, usually about six inches square
and IS inches in length, and inserted in
holes a foot or more in depth few
inches from the trees to be irrigated.
Water is filled in the boxes and left to

Morning and Evening Milk.

Two milkings should not be put to-
gether under any circumstances till
both are cooled. If the warm morn
;ng's milk is added to the cold nights
milk, and both taken together to the
creamery in the same can, the milk
will most assuredly be in bad condi-
ton when it reaches the separator.
The cause of the bad condition is of
course the same as given above, lack of
cooling and aeration before starting;
but the action seems to be intensified
by placing warm milk in with the cold.
This. seems to be due to the fact that
IN every case bacterial formation will
have established itself in the nights
milk, and the addition of the warm
milk increases the growth of these un-
desirable elements very rapidly

Sailing Cows Regularly.

Now that cows are turned out to
pasture. care should be taken to give
them regular supplies of salt. The
best way is to place some rock salt in
sheltered place where they can lick
it at will. Some salt is found by analy-
sis in milk. 1t is curious fact that so
long as the Calls food is chiefly milk
1t has no craving for salt. This crav-
ing. begins when the calf begins to
eat grass and other vegetables. all of
which require some salt to aid in their
digestion. Cows that are salted onlv
irregularly give less milk than they
should. and what they do give fur
nishes cream that is difficult to churn.

The Late Fall PIGS.

The only pig that will attain size
enough to safely pass the winter is one
that is born six or seven months before
cold weather is expected We have
raised pigs in The fall, and that, too,
when we had the advantage of base
ment barn to provide warm quarters
for them. Yet the growth during the
winter, Notwithstanding good feed,
was never satisfactory. There is too
little sunlight during the winter
months, and if the pig is kept warm
without sunlight it is usually at the ex-
pense Of poor ventilation. Without
good air no animal can maintain good
digestion or remain healthy.-Ameri-

Why Celery Is Bleached.

It is not for the mere sake of blanch-
ing that celery is so treated, for, if
this were the case, only self blanching
varieties would be used; but it is to
improve the flavor and to make the
stalks tender. Care must be taken
to avoid heaping the earth SO that it
gets in among the branches. Hold
the stems together with one hand,
while with the other the earth is
pressed against the plant, leaving out
merely few leaves at the ends. AS
the tops grow, the earthing up must,
of course, be repeated. Celery is SUBJ
ject to blight which attacks the GEN.
ter of the plant. This may be cncour-
aged by soil getting between the stalks,
as it has been found, where the plants
are boarded up instead of earthed,
they are less attacked. - American
Cultivator.

THE ANNUAL FARCE.
The Working Out OF Road Taxes ID
One Of the Greatest Obstacles
to Real Improvement. III

The conditions under which such
labor is done are all opposed to eff
cient work. Those who engage in it
are under no incentive to use their
best efforts, and rarely feel any re-
sponsibility for either the quantity or
quality of the work they do for the
county. They have little or no realiza-
ton of the value of good highways, and
they are rarely aided or directed by
intelligent practice, iudicious super
vision or knowledge of correct meth
DDS of procedure.
Doubtless there are many who in
tend to work out their taxes con-
scientiously. bu. the conditions of the
work and the traditions surrounding
it tend to make its performance per-
functory, and the testimony of many
who have themselves participat ted in it
show that nothing can be hoped for
from the system. Evidence from one
who has performed the task is given
in the Richibucto IN. b. Review. He
says:
From our own experience in per-
forming statute labor, a few years
ago, it was anything else but busy
task. Those who engaged in this work
did not busy themselves so much in
trying to do lawful days work, and
to improve the condition of the road
ways, as in endeavoring to see who
could tell the biggest yarn and who
could get in the days time with the
least exertion. Whether the same
motives guide people in performing
statute labor to-day, or not, we are not
prepared to state definitely. We fam
cy, however, that a great deal of it is
performed in the same don't care and
half-hearted way.
1T may be, perhaps, that the agi-
tation in behalf of good roads during
the past ten years has had the effect
of imbuing those to whom the task of
performing statute labor in this coun-
try is committed with more patriotic
zeal and desire to do their utmost to
secure better roads, and that, instead
of desire to do his share of the work
at as little sacrifice to himself as posi-
BILE, everyone who performs statute
labor endeavors to put in lawful and
faithful days work. If so, all we'll
and good; but, from what we learn
from those interested, we are inclined
to think great many follow in the
old way" It is this same "old way
that makes the adoption of the money
system so important.

It is not good form to beckon to an

The proper way to;serve celery is in

When leaving party or reception it
il not necessary to take leave of any
person but ones hostess or hostesses,
and the leave-taking and departure
should be done as quietly as possible.
It is not considered polite to smoke
in the presence of ladies, and young
women should not permit it, or en-
encourage it by easy tolerance. A man
who is gentleman and who respects
a woman can and does deny himself
the pleasure of smoking when he is in
her society.
Dyed hair is considered bad form; it
certainly is in the worst possible taste
and never deceives any person; neither
does it make anyone look more youth
