Rain Poor Substitute for Irrigation

Rain Poor Substitute for Irrigation.
M irrigation is better than rain,
Infinitely better. That also sounds
like a paradox, but instead it is almost
a truism. What Is tetter-to give a
plant just as much and no more water
thar 1t needs and just when it needs
it; or to parch it or drown 1t accord
ing to the within of the clouds? The
rain falls upon the just and upon the
unjust alike; upon your Strawberries
that cry for it and upon your sugar
beets that want uninterrupted u
shine. Rain is all right in Its place,
but it is a very poor substitute for IL
rigation. Otherwise why would the
lawns of our cities be %sprinkled or irri-
gated, instead Of leaving them to the
tender mercy o the clouds2 No. Arid
lands are more fertile than ordinary
lands, and irrigation is better than
rain.-Success Magazine.

THE DAY

When youth is with us, all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won;
We snare tomorrow in a dream
And take our toll for work undone;
"For life is long, and time a stream
That sleeps and sparkles in the SUM-
What need of any haste?' we say
'To-morrow's longer than to-day
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams, in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again;
We lave no leisure to enjoy,
$50 few the years that yet remain;
80 much to do, and ali !" we say,
"To-morrow's longer h to-day
But when our hands are worn and veal
And still our labors seem unblest'
And time goes past us like a bleak
Last twilight waning to the west,

Too brief is life for happy rest
And yet what need Of g~rief?" we say;
