SEEPAGE IRRIGATION.
Can lie PractIced 10 Advantage Wher-
ever Drought Is Apt to Iniure
Late Crops.

Seepage irrigation is practiced in
some sections of the west and is ap-
plicable to many districts throughout
the Mississippi valley and prairie states,
where drought frequently Injuries late
crops. The plan is best suited TO low,
flat valleys, especially the river or
creek bottoms where the surface strata
is a sandy loan or vegetable compost
ton. In the mountain regions where
the water and lava made soil contains
alkaline substances the continual prac-
tice of seepage-irrigation destroys land
fertility l have seen fields that once
produced 600 bushels of potatoes 10 the
acre so completely mineralized from
seepage irrigation as to be worthless
except for growing joint grass and sal
eratus-bush for early spring pasture.
While this danger exists in the west
there is practically no such trouble
to fear in the central and eastern
states. Seepage irrigation, if prop
erly managed, would certainly work

what High Grade Means.

Farmers are now beginning to see
the difference between the precious and
the vile. They are paying $50 and $25
and sometimes even higher prices for
high grade calf, discriminating in ia,
vor of those to tfhe extent of about
ten dollars per head. In short, on the
present market in country places the
difference made by intelligent feed
ers between a high grade calf and a
common calf is from five to ten dollars.
This, then, is the measure of the value
of a good bull. If a man has ten cows,
he can afford to give 500 for a good
bull, knowing that he will pay him
from $50 to 800 each year and be
worth when sold fat from $40 to $780,

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Watch a sod orchard. 1t will begin to
fail before you know it.
Probably nine-tenths of the apple
orchards are in sod, and many of them
are meadows. OF course they are fap-
ing.
Potash may be had in wood ashes,
and muriate of potash. tits most com
monty used in the latter form. An an
nual application of potash should be
made upon bearing orchards, 500
pounds to the acre.
Phosphoric acid is the second impor-
tant fertilizer to be applied artificia!ly
to orchards. OF the plain superphos-
pilates, from 300 to 500 pounds may be
applied to the acre.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops then when applied to
orchards; yet they can be used with
good results, particularly when rejuv-
enating the old orchards.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and a crop can then be sown
upon the land. This crop may serve as
a cover or protection TO the soil and as
a green manure. Prof. Bailey, in
Rural World.

AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION.
Successful Enterprise Based on Merit
The Importance of Informing the
Public of tho Value of an Article
Through the Leading News tpers.

The few remedies which have attained to
worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and Civ < satisfaction to millions of
people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
sicians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemists; and one
of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Go. Unlike host of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs is permanently beneficial in its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while inferior preparations are be-
ing cast aside and forgotten. In olden
times if remedy gave temporary relief to
individuals here and there, it was thought
good; but nowadays a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. If you have
never used Syrup of Figs, give it a trial,
and you will be pleased with 1t, and will
recommend it to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation, or from over-teed-
ing, or from colds, headaches, bilousness,
OF other ills resulting from an inactive con-
dition Of the kidney, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, and named Syrup OF
Figs, figs are used, as they are pleasant to
the taste; but the medicinal properties of
the remedy are obtained from an excellent
combination of plants known to be medl-
cinally laxative and to act most benefclalIy:
AS the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, knowledge of
that fact will assist in avoiding the worth
less limitations manufactured by other
parties. The Company has selected for
years past the leading publications of the
United States through which to inform the
public of the merits of its remedy, and
among them this paper is included, as will
be seen by reference to its advertising col

CHURCHES AND sCHooLHOUsEs.

The interior walls of churches, school
houses and all public halls should never
be coated with anything but the durable

fact become, that hundreds of tons are

Alabast.ne is the original and only dur
able wall coating on the market. 1t is
entirely different from all kalsomine
preparations. Alabastne is made ready
FOR use in white or twelve beautiful

WHAT "kALsoMINES" ARE.

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary
preparations, manufactured from whit

bastine is not a kalsomne. 1t is rock

with age. 1t can he re-coated and re-
