Advice on Pruning.

If pruning is done properly, no tools
will ever be necessary except a sharp
pruning knife, but if neglected or toe
many main limbs are allowed TO grow
the saw will have to be used in a few
years. 1t is desirable to make nice,
smooth, even cut, and to do this the
knife should follow the shoulder that Is
noticeable at the junction of the limb
to another or to the main stem, and the
surface of the cut should be no larger
than the base of the branch removed.
Draw the blade in ward little at the
upper side. Avoid leaving sharp stub
from which new shoot may start. Dc
not make the cut too close. When the
saw must be used on heavy limb, saw
a little on the underside first, so that
the weight of the limb as it falls will
not split or peel the bark. 1t is neces-
sary to paint the wound made by prun-
ing with white lead and linseed oil, to
which may be added little lampblack,
if desired to give darker effect. Re.

Indian Irrigsting Tanks.

The system of irrigation is mostly
that known as the ancient Hindoo sys-
tenn of tanks. The word "tank. :" in an
Indian irrigation sense, means storage
reservoir. A tank has no definite size.
It's area of water spread may be two or
three acres or it may extend to as many
square miles; its depth may be three or
four feet or 100 feet or more.
The word "koonta" is used in Hal
darabad to signify a very small tank,
such as one of two or three acres only
The words "sangor" and "cherroo" are
the Hindoostanee and Telugu equiva-
Tents, respectively, Of the word that has
been copied into English as "tank. F"
Down every valley a stream must flow
in the rainy season, it's size depending
upon the area of the ground that drains
into it. A small stream is feeder, or
one of several feeders, to larger
stream, whose drainage area is the to-
tai of those of its small stream feeders.
The larger stream is again, but feeder
to one still larger, and so on till the
great river is reached that carries the
water from the whole accumulated
drainage areas TO the sea. In each little
valley, in each larger valley, i'll each yet
larger valley again, one or more tanks
can be constructed, and thus the drain
age area supplying a tank may vary
from less than one square mile TO 100
sqnare miles George Palmer in Engi-
neering Magazine.

Probably few people know that there
is choice side to every cemetery. Thus,
in some parts of the world, the eastern
portion, without regard to its situation,
is always deemed the most desirable.
This preference arises from the old ira.
dition that our Lord will appear from
the east. 1t is also believed that the
dead in the eastern portion will be the
first to rise, then those in the southern,
western and northern in order.
In England it was once the custom OF
laying felons and other bad characters
on the north side of the church. The
custom of laying the dead in a certain
direction is responsible for the Welsh
designation for the east wind, 1.-THE
wind of the dead mems feet. "-Cincin

Hunting In the Burning Bushes Of Texas.
A Southern Pacific advertising man
says: Saul, after his conversion, hadn't
half the respect for burning bushes that
/ have since my return from trip to
west Texas. That country is the blank
blanked place for natural curiosities
that ever went up against, and my lit
tie introduction to the fire bush came
near leaving me in a state Of nervous
prostration.
II went out one morning from DIR.
Merriwether's ranch with my Winches-
ter on my shoulder to shoot few jack
rabbits for practice / climbed up on a
little plateau where the alkali was
thicker than paint on soubrette and
had trailed along for a couple of hours
without seeing anything when big
yellow bird, like pheasant, chuckled
at me from beneath bush at the side
of the ravine. The creature was so
| friendly that l thought i could bat him
over or perhaps catch him alive. l leap
ed at him and when he side stepped |
| fell into the bush. AS l scrambled to
my feet was fiabbergasted to find that
brown shrub burning merrily beside
me. l had just time to dodge the flame
and in doing so struck another plant
of the same variety. In an instant, with
little swish, it, too, sprang into flame.
| | turned, horror stricken, TO run, and
dashed straight into a third shrub.
which at once took part in the conf1a-
grafton. At that / lost my head, and,
dropping my gun, I sprang away fran
tically through the underground, leav-
ing behind me trail of fire like COM
ets tail. don't know just how far l
ran, but at last, exhausted, l fell to the
ground and in few moments the bushes
ceased to burn. When sufficiently recov-
cred, crawled carefully to the TRAIL
giving anything that looked bushy and
brown wide berth.
"And Merriwether only laughed as
he told me that the fire bush is spe-
cies of cactus which at a certain period
of the year will take fire by spontaneous
combustion when violently shaken, as
by some one running through them. -
