Sunday. the last day OF September, was
ushered in with the rneiodious peal OF the
bells OF St Patrick's for early mass. At
tha hour the doors Of a trim structure on
Cass avenue opened and a dozen sisters of

the dim glare of the lamp lights. Led by
Sister Francis Claire. the directrtce. they
FASTENED to the parochial school next door
TO the church. There the contirmants. boys
and girls. gathered and were accompanied
by the sisters for communion at early mas.
The confirmation ceremony was set for 3

FASTENED to the school. They donned
their white communion dresses.
The boy confirmants wore dark blue
suits and black Fedora hats, and looked
neat and natty, as they formed into a pro-
cession that wen6ed It's way from the
schoo!houss around the corner up Biddle

pink and carrying pink flowers. to match
the silken banner in the girls midst, per-

entered the pews, they made the genufiec-

danger of the strong pigs stealing from
the weak.
In a herd Of sows there is often one
that is not as good a mixer as the 9th

not limit the number Of pigs to suit the
supply Of milk. She Is as apt to pro-
duce as numerous aTlitter as the best
mixer in the herd. The result is that
these little fellows r always hungry
and spend much Of the time pulling at
their mother. II the SOW is in q house
with several others with filters, these
hungry, restless fellows will cause
much unrest with the others. We have
often noticed that when one litter of
pigs begins to trail after their dam

are almost sure to take up the cry and
In a short time all the sows are down
and the pigs sucking. When the sows
and their filters are separated until
the pigs are at least / month old, 1t is
much easier to feed each SOW properly
and get the pigs to eating. And, more
than this, it is conducive to better
thrift and health.
For single houses to be used in this
way we should want them portable oil

pieces and removed when not in use
The latter Is the least expensive and

IRRIGATION METHODS.

Under the furrow method Of irriga-

gated. az small opening is made In the
ditch to let the water into each furrow.
A dam of canvas or earth is placed in
the ditch just below the lowest furrow
into which water is being run at the
time, thus holding the water nearly
level in that part of the ditch from
which it is being drawn. Where the
slope OF the ground is excessive these
burrows must De run ~diagonally or ir-
regularly in order to reduce their grade
and thus prevent erosion Of the soil.
In the a S Of fruit trees it is gen
orally found desirable during very hot
weather to prevent the water from
coming into actual contact with the
trees because Of the danger of scald-
ing. Flooding the surface also results

auences the furrow system is employ
ed, one or two burrows being plowed
along each side of a row Of trees at

from, and the water Is turned from
The ditch into these burrows and per-
mitted to traverse them slowly from
end to end, thoroughly soaking the
ground as 1t progresses and reaching
into the roots without coming in con
tact with the stems above the surface.
The necessary moisture is thus fmpart-
ed without the wetting and subsequent
baking Of the surface which might re-
suit from flooding. When the trees
are sufficiently irrigated, the water is
turned out Of these burrows and into
others, the process being thus contin-
ued until the whole area has been serv-
ed. The burrows are then filed In with
q plow, the whole surface worked over
with a %cultivator and no trace left of
either the burrows or the application

This method also requires the atten-
ton Of an irrigator to see that the
proper amount of water is kept In each
furrow and it does not break out and
food the surface in places, leaving
