AGRICULTURAL.
esSseeseseseeeesee


Whatever may be true in farming,
the practical gardener usually under
stands that the general rule adopted
by the farmer, as to the rotation of
crops, does not prove to be of equal
necessity in gardening. But there can
be no rule for this. The good gardener
alone must decide for himself in each
case. For some kinds of crops, and
under some conditions, a change of
crop from year to year may be desira-
bic, but with good judgment in each
case, such a course may not be neces-
sary. The potato, especially, under
proper treatment, has been grown sue
cessfully on the same ground for half
a score of years. Some special manure
is desirable, but brains constitute. tho
best fertilizer.-Meehan's Monthly.

Planting the Garden For Irrigation.

i1AhttDS al pdiu'h Hch
When l first began gardening three
years ago, particular attention was
paid to the laying out of the garden
for the purpose of irrigation. The
ground originally sloped from A to d
and b to c. D and G being about
eighteen inches lower than A and b.
From \ to B it was practically level,
while at the other end it sloped from
d to c.. In laying out the garden l
raked and moved the soil so as to re-
verse the slope at each end. The result
was If water is let in at A and directed
south in the west path, which is de-
t o B, then to c, and so along the east
path to ID. If | want to irrigate the
plants of any givf n row, I put a dam
in the west path opposite a point be-
tween this row and the next, and cut
open the east side of the path opposite
this row. The water will then run
down the path to the dam, and s
down the row and out of the garden at
outlet as indicated. One advantage of
this plan is that l can irrigate ON a hot
day without scalding. If l want to
water a row of radishes, for instance,
l would first take the Firef1y plow, set
It down two holes, and strike a furrow
along the north side of the row, throw
ing the soil way from the plants, then
turn on a gentle stream that will just

IN THE LEGISLATIVE HALLS
II. L. Frank Shows Steady Gain in Senatorial Vote,
But Result is Still in Great Doubt--Eight Hour
Bill Passed--Attempt to Divide the
Tenth Judicial District.

Helena. Jan. 27,-Special to the
ARGUs-There Is still no sign OF a set
tlement Of the ballotlng for senator.
One or two whose names had not
previously appeared on the roll call
have received complimentary votes,
Quinn one day getting eleven, but the
only real gain has been by III. l..
Frank of Butte. His vote has been
steadily gaining until yesterday he
received twenty-four, the largest yet
given to any fusion candidate.
Thirty-two is a majority of the fusion
strength on joint ballot and this
number can force a caucus, which at
present appears to be Franks aim.
But those opposing him claim he has
about reached his limit, and that not
more than one or two more will cast
their votes for the liquor dealer OF
Butte. Heinze's following still scat
ters its vote aid John McGinness per-
sistently votes for j. K. Toole, there
by keeping the governors name In
the list. While thecoming week may
bring about solution OF the dead
lock, or something which will give
grounds for reasonably safe guess
as to the result, nothing has so far
occurred which would warrant any
one In pointing tn thesuccessor of w.
A. Clark in the United States senate.
The Republican vote has been given
TO Lee Mantle every day during the
past week and, while Republicans
caucus almost nightly, there appears
no plan of change, though something
may transpire any day which would
cause IA sensation. The vote up to
date Is as follows, thescattering vote
being omitted:
