WHY NOT TRY THE PLAN.
A Home Irrigation Plant 10 Within
the Reach of Every Progress
sive Farmer.

There are hundreds of farmers all
over this country who are enterpris-
ing and energetic, have comfortable
houses, good barns, engines, or wind
mills and farm machines; but very
few OF them have ever considered the
expediency of enlarging the field of
usefulness of their engines by caus-
ing them to pump water for thirsty
crops during a season of drought.
Nearly everywhere in the southwest
inexhaustible wells can be had at
a reasonable depth. Then, as they
already have the power, all that is
needed is pump, a reservoir and
some bitches. In most soils service
able reservoirs can be made without
cement or other commercial aids. As
the water is to be raised from the
well, it might as well be stored at an
elevation that will enable it to flow
to the land where it is wanted by
gravitation. In building embank-
ments it is only necessary to observe
a few precautions: The ground upon
which the embankment is placed
should be thoroughly plowed; it
should be built up with teams and
scrapers, which should be so handled
as tc secure as much tramping of the
earth as possible. II the material is
some fine and some coarse, the fine
should be placed near the inner, or
water face, and the coArser ON the
outside of the embankuent. The fin
er the soil is the better. The en-
bankment should b. hnilt IL possible
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1902-06-07

IN rainy weather, or arrangements
must be made to keep the embank-
ment wet. The bottom OF the reser-
-yoir should be puddled; that is, wa
ter should be pumped into it, and
when it has nearly all disappeared, it
should be thoroughly tramred and
mixed by animals, or it may be done
bv hand. If the mud is thoroughly
worked up, smoothed over and dried.
it will thereafter absorb very little
water. With length of iron sewer
pipe laid near the bottom OF the res
eryoir with a valve for opening or
shutting off, the thing is complete or
a siphon may be used to take the wa
ter from the tank. For this purpose
a sufficient length of rubber hose is
the most convenient; but regard must
be had to the capacity of the siphon,
that it be large enough. If only a
few acres of marketable truck can
thus be brought under irrigation
those few acres will be enhanced in
value several hundred per cent. A few
farmers have established such plants.
Many more ought to do so.-Texas

Carlo made his way slowly to the
cemetery. At the grave he was sur
prised to find Meta there, laying a
! bouquet of flowers on the little mound
! that marked his mothers grave. Nj
! eta looked at him and said:
"Is it you, Carlo? How pale and
changed you are. You must have suf-
| fered much"
"Thank you, Meta, for your interest
and for your care of the grave" Then,
with tears in his eyes, he exclaimed:
| "My good, good old mother, forgive
mel"
Carlo stood weeping for long time.
He could not tear himself away from
the spot until Meta took him gently
by the arm and said: "Let us co."
Silently they walked between the
graves. At last Meta said, softly:
''They say that Advise has fed to Amer
ica.''
81 heard it. May he never return"
As the couple passed the little chapel
at the entrance to the cemetery Carlo
stopped and knelt before the image
of the Virgin and prayed long and
earnestly.
''Oh, that 1 knew that mother had
forgiven me-" he sighed.
''She has forgiven you, Carlo" said
Meta, gently. "a mothers love en-
dures even beyond the grave"
eff that is true" replied Carlo, 'my
whole life will be . sacrifice
Carlo said Meta, Il have see,
your tears and have mixed mine with
them. What refused you on the day
of Mother Agnese's death, because ]
did not trust you, feel may venture
to give you now. You shall not go alone
through this life. Here is my heart,
and may your mother bless our bond.'
Carlo stood for moment as if stupe-
fed. His knees trembled. Then he I'M
derstood it all. He opened his arms
and pressed Meta to his breast.

Good Times.

Good times in the country means
better roads, better buildings, better
education.
There are few investments equal to
a good stock farm wisely managed.
Don't get land poor.
Go slow on l1xuries but don't skimp
on labor-saving conveniences about
the house.
Have a big barn, of course, but
don't overlook sensible improvements
in the living quarters. One doesn't
need an expensive house to have a
cosy one. There is more comfort in
little house with big shady porches,
and homelike conveniences than in
an expensive new house that is too
big and fine and too expensive.
Before buying that eighty" that
you don't especially need, see if there
are not some comforts and convent
ences that you can add to the house.
Building over old houses is often
more expensive than building new
ones, but there are often things in
connection with the water, drainage.
heating, etc, that can be bettered to
good advantage.
It renews interest to keep making

MODERN BURIAL CASKETS.
Those of American Make Are in
Every Way Superior to 1mpOr-
tatiOns FROM Europe,
Minneapolis Journal

"Made in Italy," is marked on card
leaning against coffin displayed in
the window of an uptown undertake
er's store. The coffin thus exhibited is
of the old-time familiar shape in its
general outline, but it presents one
important modification, says the New
York Sun.
Instead of having fiat top extend
ing straight across from side to side
its top is raised in the middle, being
made with parts all around the sides
and ends that slope up and inward
from the edge of the body of the
coffin at about the angle that French
roof slopes back from the wall. The
middle part is fiat. This coffin is made
of heavy chestnut or some wood of a
similar character, and is finished in
the natural wood and vanished. 1t
has simple and plain but heavy brass
mountings, hinges asd lock and
handles.
The effect is of something ancient,
or at least mediaeval; but it is in fact
a modern Italian coffin of current de-
sign, made in Florence. A coffin of
this character, which represents the
best Italian type, sells for the equiva-
lent of about 5000 American.
Seen at the same Enlistment was
an English burial casket, which was
of heavy oak and solid and substantial
in construction, but very plain in de-
sign, the top fat, except for such form,
as was given to it by molding the wood.
This casket is not of the old coffin
shape, but tapers slightly from the ex-
IRENE head, where it is widest, to the
foot, having thus the shape of an
elongated Keystone, and being SO of
the shape of the first American burial
caskets made, which were designed to
supersede the old-style coffin.
This casket was imported from Lon
don and is in design of the most mod.
ern English type. 1t is made to sell
for what would amount in American
currency to about $500.
Shown here also is German burial
casket that is built of steel, elaborate
ly nodded. It's cover or lid is SO far
from fat that, with its high rounding
up, it forms "a sort of Handicapped
ridge. 1t has, for further ornamental
ton, besides such as is afforded to it
by the holdings stamped in the metal
Of which it is formed, embossed de-
signs of steel. 1t is rounded at the
ends, but in its general shape it is of
the elongated keystone pattern. 1t
was intended to sell for about 500.
Just glance at some of the many
American burial caskets to be seen in
the establishment where the three of
foreign makes described are shown is
enough to reveal the Americans SUI
periority. While the foreign caskets
may be substantial and solidly built,
they are far behind those produced
here in symmetry of outline, as they
are also in various other respects.

4 Nep1ectcd Resource.

The cow-pea is an old acquaintance
of southern farmers, but it's virtues
are not appreciated as it ought to be.
Even in the poverty-stricken fields OF
the Atlantic southern states where 1t
is almost the sole source of agricul-
tural salvation, it is most wonderfully
neglected. It is safe to say that no
hay, not even alfalfa or red clover, is
superior to that made from the COM
mon cow-pea; and surely southern
farmers need good annual hay
plant that can be raised on the same
ground and at the same time and with
the same cultivation as other valuable
crops; and at the same time deposit
in the soil a large amount OF the
most costly fertilizer known. On all
soils deficient in humus, the cow-peas
are a profitable crop even if no part
of the plant is harvested for food for
man and beast. But wonderful to re-
late of this truly wonderful plant the
entire crop may be saved for feed
and the roots and stubble will pay in
it's contributions of nitrogen for tho
use of the land, pay for the seed, pay
for the cultivation and harvesting the
crop. Therefore the farmer has the
full value of the crop, and the crop
besides. Economically it is as if
some benign power should give to-
each farmer growing cow-peas, a boz
nus equal to the value of the crop ash
a fertilizer, to be paid in nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in the
proportions contained in the stub
BILE and roots of the peas, and besides
this, to spread the fertilizer and plow
it under. On poor soils the cow-pea
should be treated literally with phos-
phoric acid and potash, for the heav-
Ter the crop, the greater the fertiliz-
ing value, and the greater the amount
of pea-vine hay. There is no better
hay for beef cattle, milk cows, horses
or hogs than this-better than tim
othy, better than clover, better than
alfalfa, and where one ton of it il
grown in the south there ought to be
100 tons. With such feed and beeves
to consume it on the farms, the south
would have the most profitable farms
in all the country.-Farm and Ranch.

SPANKED THE WRONG BOY.
How Willie's Papa Warmed q Pair
of Pants That Were Not Worn
by Willie.

A Detroit man was travelling with his
son, and wishing to transact some
business with the conductor, he said:
"Now, Willie, I'm going to be away
just few minutes. You sit right here,
and don't move bit. If you do, I'll
spank you good and hard. So don't
stick your head out of the window.
You might have it taken off, If you do;
then you wouldn't have any head, and
you'd get spanking besides"
The father went away to find the
conductor. After a few minutes he
came back, relates the Galveston Daily
News.
There was little Willie, just his feet
and the seat of his trousers sticking in
through the window. He appeared to
be more outside than inside, and
whenever telegraph pole whizzed by
and looked especially close, he would
make a lunge for it, as if trying to
catch it.
The father did not hesitate. He
made grab for the boy just as the
latter made a lunge for pole. He
pulled him in by the heels, laid him
over his knees, and began to fulfill his
promise. The little fellow yelled and
yelled until he almost drowned out the
noise of the train, but during lull in
the uproar the father heard smoker
behind i:im. He laid the boy down and
turned to see what it meant.
There, two seats behind and across
the aisle, was his son, with two fingers
stuffed in his mouth to keep his merri-
ment in. The man rubbed his eyes,
and looked again, but there was no
mistake.
He looked at the boy in his lap. Be
hind the tears was face he had never
seen before. He had spanked some
other mans son.

WEEKLY PAPERS FIELD
MIR. Bryan Says That More and More
the Daily Will Go Out
Of Politics.

Chicago Nov 1e.-The Atlas club. an
organization of advertising mon, held its
quarterly banquet and annual election at
the Calumet club last night. William J,
Bryan spoke on How the West Adver-
tlses ITSELF Speaking Of the growth and
influence Of weekly newsrs pers, Mr.. Bry-
an said:
THE daily is becoming less and less
a political paper. AS a great business
enterprise the city daily bag passed be-
Eond the stage where tHe owner can be
the editor. And as the paper thus ceases
to be the organ Of one man it loses it's
political influence, But as people will al
ways require papers that discuss political
questions we shall have the growth Of the
weekly papers,
Il do not see that the recent elections
have changed political conditions any,"
said Mr.. Bryan In an interview yesterday.
In the east. the money question has been
buried but it is still being talked in the
west.
"One thing seems clear to me and that
is the treasury and the banks must be d.
Eorced. AS it is now, treasury officials
see the potential conditions of their office
and the result is too close an alliance with
banking interests. AS to the recent slump
in stocks, had the democrats carried con-
aress at the last election. it would at
once have been said it was the democratic
victory which caused it. AS matter of
fact extraordinary Influences were at
work to prevent the slump from happen
ing before election"

BOOT AND SHOE TRAGEDY
English Towns Filled With Idle
Men Due to American
Underselling.

London, Nov. 1a.--While the talk about
press. there is no lack of evidence Of act
i've competition in many lines Of manufac-
lures. The provincial hotels are filed
with American commercial travellers and
agents Of manufacturing firms, and there
is a large increase in the number Of
branch houses established for permanent
operations in the United Kingdom. The
results Of this destructive competition are
noticeable in the midland towns like
Northampton and Leicester, which have
been dependent for their prosperity upon
the boot and shoe trade. There has been
a marked decline in the production for
both the home and foreign trade. The
streets OF those towns are filed with idlers
and the shoemakers' wages are falling.
Leicester is more fortunate than North
ampton. since it has the hosiery industry
which has not been seriously affected by
the increased production abroad, but it
has q large working force of shoemakers
now menaced with the loss Of employ
ment.
Northampton is in a sorry plight from
the shrinkage Of business.
The fortunes OF these towns might have
been retrieved If the shoe manufacturers
had kept abreast of American enterprise
and equipped their factories with labor
saving appliances. They neglected these
matters, however, and American boots and
shoes are now sold in England a prices
which cannot be met, either at Leicester
or Northampton. q

night and found his four girls, the Oldest
10 years old, missing. Search of the
neishborhood failed to find them and the
