Irrigation Problems.

There Dis probably at present no COM
mercial problem more important to the
Western agriculturist than that Of ir-
rigation. Nowhere in the world is fruit
growing more highly developed than
In California, and nowhere in this ,coun-
try is water more valuable or more
carefully handled and conserved. But
irrigation has to be intelligently ap-
piled, and, like everything else, may be
overdone. Over-irrigation results in
overgrown, insipid fruit. insufficient
moisture shows itself in poor growth,
poor fruit and intermittent bearing.
One OF the most popular methods Of
applying irrigation water, and one
which is available to the small farmer,
with comparatively small outlay, is
the furrow system, which consists in
running the water through burrows,
near together, usually about two feet
apart. BY 6tching and the use OF
small reservoirs streams from springs
or windmills. which, Il left to them

cloths is the test of an roner's skill
They must have just enough body nos
to seem limp, the pattern must be-

may be given to table linen by adding
a quart of starch to the last rinse water

or not they must be made very wet in
the sprinkling and ironed until perfect
ly dry. No matter how smoothly they
are ironed if they are moist when hung
on the bars they will acquire rough
dry appearance. A special cloth for
'.best occasions may be dried after
rinsing without starch in the waterlr

To Cure Tonsilitis.

Paint the throat with mixture made
thus: Tincture of chloride of iron, one
dram; chlorate of potash, half DRAM
glycerin, up to one ounce, mixed. Give
fluid magnesia, or half seidlitz pow
der, at the beginning of the attack, ass
the fever runs high, and this averts the
dryness which in all fevers is apt to-
cause costiveness and high-cOlored,.
scanty urine. Let lemonade or ice
water or cracked ice be taken for
thirst and pain in the throat. This
may entirely prevent laryngitis, by
soothing the throat and preventing a
cough. Flaxseed tea made with whole
seeds and favored with lemon is very
useful also to sip during the night to-
prevent the cough. In short time the
ulcers appear and the fever goes down.
Tonic treatment is then suitable. Wash
the throat for two weeks with iron ey-
cry day, and give fruit or fruit juice,
strong broth and milk.

The Prairie-Doe Pest.

A correspondent in the Kansas Farm
er says: "Six years ago / had prairie
dog town in my pasture. Its noisy pop
ulation on sunshiny morning could
be counted by the hundreds. We had
tried to reduce it with dogs, drowning
out, and shooting, but the increase
seemed steady and fixed. A miller who
had used bisulphide Of carbon to rid
his mill OF rats recommended it's use
against prairie dogs. l procured two
gallons of the odoriferous fluid, buck
etful of corn cobs chopped into short
pieces, and a sharp pointed stick. TAX
ing along man with spade, / moved
on the town. A piece of cob placed
temporarily on the sharp point of the
stick and dipped into the fluid was in
troduced into each hole, and the stick
withdrawn, leaving the cob. Then the
top of the hole was filed with earth.
Each and every opening we could find
received this treatment. The next
morning only two dogs showed them
selves. When pursued they seemed to
find holes that we had overlooked, but,
as ours was a war of determination we
administered the treatment to these
holes, and we have never since seen a
prairie dog in that pasture"

Many farmers will find the rake a
very convenient implement for gather

in when dry without much loss by

A Coming Insecticide.

Prof. L. H. Bailey says: Arsenic of
lime has the threefold advantage of
being cheap, the amourt Of arsenic is
under perfect control and it does not
burn the foliage. 1t is made by boiling
together for forty-fve minutes one
pound white arsenic, two pounds fresh
lime, one gallon water. This may be
kept in tight vessel and used as de-
sired. Thoroughly stir the material be-
fore using. For most insects one quart
Of the above per barrel will be suffi-
Gent. Arsenic of lime is insoluble in
water and will not injure the foliage Of
any orchard fruit at this strength. This
insecticide is growing in popularity.
Some green dyestuff should be mixed
with it to prevent the ever present
danger Of mistaking it for some other
material.

A Cuban Milkman

"How many cows there are about
the streets!'' somebody exclaims, and
then he is calmly Informed that the
mornings milk is simply being deliv-
cred. A bunch of cattle and their
driver stop before house, and the
portero comes out with cup for the
mornings supply. 1t is seen then that
the cows are being MIXED from door
to door by the dairymen, for this is the
way the acute Cuban housewives have
taken to assure for their tables a lac
teal supply which is entirely fresh and
absolutely pure. Otherwise the guile
loving vender might dilute the milk
before delivering it to his customers,
and craftily stir into the watery fluid
the juice of the sweet potato to color
it up to duly rich and creamy cast
Even with the cows MIXED before the
door one must continue to watch the
milkman, for I have even heard of
their having a rubbertbag of water con-
cealed under their loose frocks and
down the inside of the sleeve, it's tip
being concealed in the hollow of the
milking hand. Only a gentle pressure
upon the bag of water within is needed
to thus cause both milk and water to
flow into the cup at the same time.
The milk vendors of Italy and India
have also learned their trade, to perfec-
ton, for they practice this Identical
trick-Woman's Home Companion.

Cleaning the Fruits.

There is one caution that must be-.
observed in the preparation for the ta-
BILE Of fruits, salads, etc., especially
where they are to be eaten without
cooking. They must be, thoroughly
cleaned. Cold water does not take Off
the dirt, sand, larvae from green's, or
lettuce, or cabbage. and as for minute
insects it only makes them adhere morss
closely to the warm surface Of the
plant. If washed in warm water all
these will readily come off, leaving the,
plant perfectly clean 1t should then
be put into cold water to restore the
crispness and there remain for an hour
until used. Fruit also that is eaten
raw, such as apples, tomatoes, etc.,
should either be pared or washed and
polished.

The Value of a Windmill.

We take the following from the
Farming World, as it tells what many
would like to know: 'The Wisconsin
Experiment station thus sums up the
value of a wind mill: To test the econ
o1nic value of the pumping done by the
mill 212-horse power gas engine was
put to running the same pumps, and it
the engine ten hours, and in that time it
pumped 1902 cubic feet of water,
while the average for the mill was g.
938 cubic feet In ten hours. Hence, it
cost 80 cents to pump as much water
with the engine as the mill pumped in
ten hours. AS the mill had an average
Of 141a hours per day, it would have
cost 43 cents to pump as much water
with the engine as the mill pumped
each day, or $156.95 for one year Of 365
days. Tests made in grinding corn with
the power furnished by this windmill
showed that when the wind had We
locity of nine miles an hour, it would
grind about 100 pounds an hour; a We
locity Of twenty-five miles per hour
groundf over 500 pounds per hour, and
a velocity of thirty-five miles per hour
ground over 1000 pounds per hour.
The 25-mile wind enabled the mill to
develop about 2 2-3 horse power. The
work done shows that in whole year
the mill would grind 1850 bushels.
The 21a horse power engine was able to
grind on the same grinding mill as
much in 1856 days as the windmill would
grind in 365 days, it costing SO cents
day to run the engine. Hence, when
applied to the corn mill the power Of
the windmill was worth 136x99 cents,
or $134.64 per year"

Antiquity of Onions,

Onions and eucumbers are two Of the
very Oldest known vegetables. Like
peas, the Egyptians grew them at least
thirty centuries ago. Indeed, to the
onion belongs probably the honor of
being the first vegetable primeval man
ever made trial of. Onions are not
found growing wild anywhere, but a
kind of leek is not uncommon in South
ern Siberia, which is very like the

To Cleanse Blankets.

The theory now is that blankets
must be washed instead of dry cleaned
to be healthy. To have them soft as
new, make a soapy suds in half-tub-
of warm water by using one-half cup
of washing powder and soak blanket
in it for half an hour; then simply move
it around and rub soiled spots; rinse in
warm water of the same temperature
and hang up in a warm place or sun
shiny outdoor air.
