There is little reason to doubt the value of a subirrigation in equalizing the distribution of water in the soil. To make it successful one must, however, use a perfect supply of water and a set of pipes or drains perfectly arranged. Where stones abound a simple system of subirrigation is quite common. Ordi- nary ditches are dug at needed distances apart and filled with small stones to within 18 inches or so of the top, thick planks being-laid at the bottom. These serve to drain tbe land in wet seasons SEWIIIG MACHINE. Tm Most Beautiful. Tne Fastest. TUe Saaiest and Quietest Running. Has tne Beet Attacn- menta. Does tne Most Pertect work.

In very dry weather water can be run into the upper part of ttfis system of drains and allowed to run down through. In hot, dry countries where few stones are found perforated pipes are used. Mr. W. S. Marshall of Texas thus describes a system in quite general use in sections of that state. The water is distributed by means of pipes placed in the ground below the reach of the plow. These pipes may be of thin, perforated metal, of clay til- ing, or they may be made of cement in a continuous line and the sides perfo- rated at intervals to allow the water to run out and soak into the soil. Subirri- gation by this method effects a great economy of water. All that used goes just where it is wanted to produce the best results. There is no baking of the surface and comparatively little loss from evaporation. One thousand gallons will water properly and sufficiently as many trees or plants by this method of distribution as would 6,000 gallons by surface application. The windmill is located outside of the lot. Water is con- ducted in an iron pipe to tbe reservoir, a cypress tank with a capacity of 6,000 gallons. This is located in the center of the plot irrigated. See figure, in^which O represents the tank, or reservoir, 3 8 and 4 4 small pools in which the header pipes termi- nate, 5 5 and 5 5 header pipes and * * * distributing pipes. Figures 5 5 are 4 inch header pipes made out of cement. They oonnect with pools 3 3 and 4 4, located near the reservoir. These pools are common kerosene barrels. The lines * * • are the lateral pipes. These are 22 inch cement pipes and are perfor- ated, a three-sixteenth inch hole being made every eight feet, alternately on either side. In applying the water a full tank is drawn into one of the pools, whence the water runs evenly over the section covered by the system of pipes oonneoted therewith. As will be seen, there are four sections of pipes to cover the whole lot. Each section covers about an acre. The lateral pipes <***) are 16 feet apart, are closed at one end, as are the header pipe». There is no outlet to the pipe except tbe small punctures along the laterals. It will be seen that a tank of water discharged into the pool 8 is at once conducted evenly over the section connected therewith. Peach, apricot and other fruit trees are set along the lines of the pipes, and grape vines between the rows. The pipes used in this system are of cement perforated at intervals. Rural New Yorker believes that this plan could be successfully worked on small garden spots with comparatively little expense. The late A. N. Cole, who practiced this plan on a large scale, constructed a series of ditches on a rather steep .hillside and filled them with stones. These held moisture, and in time of severe drought water could be run in from a hydrant. A Babbit Trap. Six inch boards are required and should be 4 feet long. A is the trapdoor, which is held up by two cords attached to the lever, which rests on the fulcrum C. E is the trigger, which is a short stiok, made as seen in the illustration, and is attached to the end of lever by a Their Advantages and Disadvantages M Presented by a Farmer Who Uses One. There are two sides to the question, Axe barn cellars desirable? And it can only be answered correctly by carefully weighing the advantages and disadvan- tages, taking into account personal cir- cumstances. The principal advantage if that by means of a well constructed cel- lar all of the manure, liquid as well as solid, is saved and kept in good condi- tion. And when we consider the hungry ! condition of onr fields, and the hundreds . of thousands of dollars paid for commer- I cial fertilizers, we may well ask our- selves if this great saving does notout- weigh all objections to barn cellars? An j experience of many years satisfies me that a cord of manure from a well built cellar is worth 80 per cent more than the same kind of manure when thrown out under a roof and twice as much as the same kind and amount when exposed to sun and rain. The western method of hauling ma- nure as fast as it accumulates is not practicable in Maine, and to me is not desirable. We must store manure some- where several months in the year. Dur- ing seven or eight months of the year a barn cellar may be utilized for hog pens, and where the stock is largely horses it is a good place for hogs, and they will greatly improve the quality. But if neat stock is mostly kept it is too moist and filthy for hogs, and they do not improve the manure. The objections to cellars are cost and the consequent rapid decay of tbe sills and floors of the barn. That they are in- jurious to the health of animals and to the hay stored in the barn are objections of no weight, for if they are properly constructed and the barn floors are as tight as they should be no vapors will reach the animals or the hay above. The cellar is entirely unfit for the storage of anything but manure. Wood decays very rapidly, and iron rusts and soon becomes worthless. During winter the cellar should be tightly closed, or the floors will be too cold for the animals, and then they are not fit places for hogs or any other air breathing animal to live in. Twenty cows kept in the barn through the win- ter and nights through the summer Will produce 50 cords of manure, richly worth, as compared with commercial fertilizers, $250. If we lose by not sav- ing the liquids and by evaporation one- half of this sum annually (and I am very sure we do), we pan well afford to build and keep in repair a good cellar under our cattle. I am not ready to give np my barn eellar. The foregoing is from a communica- tion in the Maine Farmer. A second cor- respondent calls attention to the impor- tant point of securing a good location where proper drainage can be seoured. The location has much to do with their success or failure. Inte: TRAP FOE SMALL AXIMALS. ihort cord. The trigger passes through « small hole in the top of the trap and catches on the front edge. The sketch shows the trap set. Grain is used for bait, but carrots, cabbage, etc., are much liked by bunny. Place the bait at the farther end of the trap, so that it cannot be got out without touching the trigger, which flies up and down and drops the door, and poor bunny is a prisoner, and not a hair injured.—Ohio Fanner. How to Fell Leaning Trees. In felling trees leaning trees general- ly split and waste so much lumber that some way of preventing the splitting should be adopted. A correspondent in it ing Facts Concerning These Com- monplace but Useful Articles. Only one firm in the United States is j making -.,',r" pencils from native slate, i Th rv a:", unporirri many slate pencils i from f >r;nany, and also some soapatone pencils ii'-m abroad. Millions of pencils made of slate are turned out at a quarry in Pennsv ivnniit. The rough slnte is sawn , into -ujtijulo pieces by jnacmnory, and j from each piuc:u a special machine cuts six j pencils of standard length—.">;e inches. These pencils cpme out rounded, but not pointed. Deft boys take then) by twos and threes and quickly point them at an emery wheel rapuliy revolved by machin- ; ery. The pencils are then put up in paste 1 board boxes of 100 each, and these boxes are placed in wooden cases containing 10,- 000 pencils. The wholesale price of slate I pencils is only $6.75 a case. Pencils that ; break in the making are made up into j '•'shorts," measuring 3>£ or 4K inches, i and the shorter pencils are.made also* from *j small fragments of slate. It is an easy bit i of ciphering-to make out that pencils at $6,75 a case of 10,000 are worth about two- thirds of a mill, or one-fifteenth of a cent, each. ! Pencils imported from Germany sell in this market at about the price of the na- tive product. The American labor is much better paid than the German labor, but I the cost of the American pencil is not j much greater than that of the German pen- cil because machinery is so much more used here than abroad. As to slatea, they are produced of all sizes and for a great num- ber of purposes, Notwithstanding the many compositions invented to serve as blackboards, slate is still used for tbe pur- | pose, and immense slabs of the finest qual- ity are cut, smoothed and set up in school- houses. They will outlast any composi- tion,'and if properly cared for will always ; show a clear mark from the chalk crayon. Millions of slate pencils are used up year- ly in schools of all kinds, and if all the : school slates were taken for roofing they ' would roof a large city, according to a cor- respondent of the New York Sun and au- thority for the foregoing. Literary Preferences of Stevenson. Certain opinions of Robert Loui3 Ste- venson, as expressed in talk with friends, are related by the Pall Mall Budget. His passion for Dumas he was never tired of proclaiming, and for Scott, with limita- tions, which he became more conscious of as ho grew older. Walt Whitman, he averred, "blew into space a thousand cob- webs of genteel and ethical illusions," the which he did not farther specify. He ''should be much of a hound," he said, "if he lost his gratitude to Herbert Spen- cer," in whose work he found "a spirit of highly abstract joy, plucked naked like an algebraic symbol, but still joyful." He boasted of having been "the sedulous ape" of Hazlitt, Lamb, Defoe, Hawthorne, Sir Thomas Browne, Wordsworth, Baude- laire, Obermann, Browning, and for a moment Swinburne, on whose bosom he said he reclined when he wrote "Mon- mouth, a Tragedy." Among bis other great admirations were St. Matthew, Mar- tial, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and Meredith, "The Egoist" being his greatest favorite among the works of that author. B a m ' Cottage. One of the most Interesting spots in all Scotland is the cottage at Alloway, near Ayr, In which Robert Burns was born on the 25th of January, 1750. It is visited every year by thousands of people from all parts of the world, and the poet's birth- JACOBS FELLING A LEAKING TREE. the old New England Homestead gives some practical advice in the matter* He says: * Instruct your blaoksmith to bend a bar of iron about an inch thick and 16 inches long in the shape of Fig. A. Cut the side of the tree at C, withdraw the saw, drive in the iron with the points BB, and the tree is ready for sawing from the opposite side. When the tree is sawed nearly through, the saw may be withdrawn, the iron removed and the sawing completed from the first cat. The new edition of the Massachusetts catalogue of abandoned farms shows that only about 2 per cent of the farms in the state are pnt in that category. The expense to the state in issuing these catalogues of abandoned farms, which are sent free on application to the state board of agriculture, has been since 1891 12,360,81.

Boston gardeners have for about 50 years grown lettuce for the New York market* and even now it is probable that more than half of the lettuce grown near Boston is consumed in the great metrop- olis. At first it was grown only in hot- beds, and gardeners seemed to think that it could not be grown of good qual- ity unless within a few inches of the glass, but about 28 years ago some of the gardeners of Newton and Belmont began to experiment in building green- houses for growing lettuce. It was soon found, however, that lettuce equally good grew at several feet distant from the glass, and that it was better to give the roof more pitch in order to shed snow and rain. The houses now built for this purpose, according to a report made by the Mas- sachusetts Horticultural society, have a , pitch of from 20 to 25 degrees, and some j of them are 400 feet long and 50 feet wide, with a ridge 20 feet above the beds. It is found that these houses are | far better than hotbeds for winter grow- I ing of lettuce and cucumbers, and the j increase of glass during* the last five j years has been Ghiefly in the line of I greenhouses, while not a few additional booses have been covered with old hot- bed sashes. The permanent glass roof, however, is preferable unless it is desired | to remove the roof during spring or snm- ' mer to work on the beds, as is still prao- : tised by some gardeners. ! —A Chinese Christian gave the fol- lowing reasons for giving up his tobacco- pipe—reasons which might have weight elsewhere than in China:—When reading his bible his attention was often distracted by his pipe. When out preaching with one of the missionaries, his going off to get a smoke often delayed them. He had just taken the Holy Communion, and it seemed inconsistent to begin to smoke tobacco directly afterward. It was a bad example for his children and grand- : children. It was a useless habit. The | action was entirely his own, and appeared to b« prompted by the Holy Spirit— Christum Arbitrator. ROOM IN WHICH BURSTS WAS BORN, day is kept np with great zeal. The pic- ture shows the kitchen of the cottage, with some of the very furniture that the poet's father had. The "box" bed in the corner, made up in a recess in the room (still a common feature In many Scottish houses), is the bed in which Robert Burns first saw the light. The Inventor of Bloomers. Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, after whom the garment known as the bloomer costume was christened, died recently in Council Bluffa, la. It was In 1851 that Mrs. Bloomer began fco wear the costume which is now known throughout the English speaking world as the bloomer. She was then living at Seneca Falls, N. Y., where she published a temperance paper called The Lily. In addition to being a prohibi- tion advocate, the paper also devoted con- siderable space to the subject of woman suffrage. A Mrs. Miller, who in 1851 paid a visit to Seneca Falls, appeared in the bi- furcated dress, and Mrs. Bloomer pub- lished a description of it. She and Eliza- beth Cady Stan ton adopted the style and advocated' its general adoption. Mrs. Bloomer wore the costume on several lec- ture trips, and in this way it became asso- ciated with and finally known by her same. Turpentine on Soft Corns. A shoe that is too large is nearly as un- comfortable as one that is too small and will often be an active agent in produc- ing corns. Every point of contact should be looked after, r.nd nowhere should there be the least bind ng permitted. For soft corns, dip a piece of linen cloth In turpentine and wrap it aiound the toe «n which the corn is situated, every night and morning. It will prove an immediate relief to the pain and soreness, and the corn will disappear after a few days. To Retemper the Blade of a Knife. Pocketknife blades are very unevenly tempered. Even in so called standard out- lery some hlades are hard and some are soft. For tbe latter there is no remedy, but the temper of hard ones can easily be drawn slightly. Take a kitchen poker and heat it redhot. Have the blade that is to be drawn bright and hold it on the poker for a moment. When the color runs down to violet blue, stick the blade in a piece of tallow or beef suet until cold.—Engineer. The tea jacket is in many waya super- Bediny the tea gown, one or two skirts do- ing duty for many jackets. Many are made in velvet, with loose fronts and el- how sleeves.

As to slatea, they areproduced of all sizes and for a great num-ber of purposes, Notwithstanding themany compositions invented to serve asblackboards, slate is still used for tbe pur-

    | pose, and immense slabs of the finest qual-ity are cut, smoothed and set up in school-houses. They will outlast any composi-tion,'and if properly cared for will always

    ; show a clear mark from the chalk crayon.Millions of slate pencils are used up year-ly in schools of all kinds, and if all the

    : school slates were taken for roofing they' would roof a large city, according to a cor-respondent of the New York Sun and au-thority for the foregoing.

    Literary Preferences of Stevenson.Certain opinions of Robert Loui3 Ste-

    venson, as expressed in talk with friends,are related by the Pall Mall Budget. Hispassion for Dumas he was never tired ofproclaiming, and for Scott, with limita-tions, which he became more conscious ofas ho grew older. Walt Whitman, heaverred, "blew into space a thousand cob-webs of genteel and ethical illusions," thewhich he did not farther specify. He''should be much of a hound," he said,"if he lost his gratitude to Herbert Spen-cer," in whose work he found "a spirit ofhighly abstract joy, plucked naked like analgebraic symbol, but still joyful." Heboasted of having been "the sedulousape" of Hazlitt, Lamb, Defoe, Hawthorne,Sir Thomas Browne, Wordsworth, Baude-laire, Obermann, Browning, and for amoment Swinburne, on whose bosom hesaid he reclined when he wrote "Mon-mouth, a Tragedy." Among bis othergreat admirations were St. Matthew, Mar-tial, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne andMeredith, "The Egoist" being his greatestfavorite among the works of that author.

    B a m ' Cottage.One of the most Interesting spots in all

    Instruct your blaoksmith to bend abar of iron about an inch thick and 16inches long in the shape of Fig. A. Cutthe side of the tree at C, withdraw thesaw, drive in the iron with the pointsBB, and the tree is ready for sawingfrom the opposite side. When the treeis sawed nearly through, the saw maybe withdrawn, the iron removed and thesawing completed from the first cat.

    Vegetables Under Glass.Boston gardeners have for about 50

    years grown lettuce for the New Yorkmarket* and even now it is probable thatmore than half of the lettuce grown nearBoston is consumed in the great metrop-olis. At first it was grown only in hot-beds, and gardeners seemed to thinkthat it could not be grown of good qual-ity unless within a few inches of theglass, but about 28 years ago some ofthe gardeners of Newton and Belmontbegan to experiment in building green-houses for growing lettuce. It was soonfound, however, that lettuce equallygood grew at several feet distant fromthe glass, and that it was better to givethe roof more pitch in order to shedsnow and rain.

    The houses now built for this purpose,according to a report made by the Mas-sachusetts Horticultural society, have a

    , pitch of from 20 to 25 degrees, and somej of them are 400 feet long and 50 feet

    wide, with a ridge 20 feet above thebeds. It is found that these houses are

    | far better than hotbeds for winter grow-I ing of lettuce and cucumbers, and thej increase of glass during* the last fivej years has been Ghiefly in the line ofI greenhouses, while not a few additional

    booses have been covered with old hot-bed sashes. The permanent glass roof,however, is preferable unless it is desired

    | to remove the roof during spring or snm-' mer to work on the beds, as is still prao-: tised by some gardeners.

    ! —A Chinese Christian gave the fol-lowing reasons for giving up his tobacco-pipe—reasons which might have weightelsewhere than in China:—When readinghis bible his attention was often distractedby his pipe. When out preaching withone of the missionaries, his going off toget a smoke often delayed them. He hadjust taken the Holy Communion, and itseemed inconsistent to begin to smoketobacco directly afterward. It was a badexample for his children and grand-

    : children. It was a useless habit. The| action was entirely his own, and appearedto b« prompted by the Holy Spirit—Christum Arbitrator.

    ROOM IN WHICH BURSTS WAS BORN,day is kept np with great zeal. The pic-ture shows the kitchen of the cottage, wi thsome of the very furniture that the poet'sfather had. The " b o x " bed in the corner,made up in a recess in the room (sti l l acommon feature In many Scottish houses),is the bed in which Robert Burns firstsaw the light.

    The Inventor of Bloomers.Mrs. Amel ia Bloomer, after whom the

    garment known as the bloomer costumewas christened, died recently in CouncilBluffa, la. It was In 1851 that Mrs.Bloomer began fco wear the costume whichis now known throughout the Engl i shspeaking world as the bloomer. She w a sthen l iv ing at Seneca Falls, N. Y., whereshe published a temperance paper calledThe Lily. In addition to being a prohibi-t ion advocate, the paper also devoted con-siderable space to the subject of w o m a nsuffrage. A Mrs. Miller, w h o in 1851 paida vis it to Seneca Falls, appeared in the bi-furcated dress, and Mrs. Bloomer pub-lished a description of it. She and Eliza-beth Cady Stan ton adopted the style andadvocated' its general adoption. Mrs.Bloomer wore the costume on several lec-ture trips, and in this way it became asso-ciated wi th and finally known by hersame.

    Turpentine on Soft Corns.A shoe that is too large is nearly as un-

    comfortable as one that is too small andwill often be an active agent in produc-ing corns. Every point of contact shouldbe looked after, r.nd nowhere should therebe the least bind ng permitted.

    For soft corns, dip a piece of linen clothIn turpentine and wrap it aiound the toe«n which the corn is situated, every nightand morning. It will prove an immediaterelief to the pain and soreness, and thecorn will disappear after a few days.

    To Retemper the Blade of a Knife.Pocketknife blades are very unevenly

    tempered. Even in so called standard out-lery some hlades are hard and some aresoft. For tbe latter there is no remedy,but the temper of hard ones can easily bedrawn slightly. Take a kitchen poker andheat it redhot. Have the blade that is tobe drawn bright and hold it on the pokerfor a moment. When the color runs downto violet blue, stick the blade in a piece oftallow or beef suet until cold.—Engineer.
