Tl*e figures for irrigation l have given may look large hut theie is do reason why they ran not he increa sed by i if the la id is properly irri ^Ufsled and tilled Why should one look to other localities for a home. When wo have here some of the richest soil to lie found any where iu the l sited States and also one of the best irri gation canals. While the water in the Middle l.oup is the fullest hi fei tiliaing matter of anv stream tn the west Our Isud is particularly ad aptad for irrigation, it all hauug a gradual slope, aitb but few plans where the water will not spread oyer the aerfaee with but little worh.

To irrigate corn plant the rows so the fall will uot he too great tocouse the f water to wash the soil away. It it can not he avoided the water will have < to he turned on in smaller quanti- ‘ ties which can easily be regulated < with the small wooden boxes. The boxes, being only one rod apart, it will not take much work to i change the water from one row tc j another, until the whole field is wat- ( tered. The rows on a large lield i uiny have to be planted in several ’ different directions to get the right ( slope. The ground should be well ' plowed and harrowed before plan- j ting to insure an even stand. Much , will depend on the stand to produce i a large yield. It should lie well cultivated so the corn will make a rapid growth and to keep all weeds i down. The last two times the rows j should he ridged quite high so the water will not run from one row to another. Great care should he [ used when wateriug a field of coin i that no water will gather in low places and thus cause the stalks to ( blow down, the ground being loose, ar.d the water gathering around the roots it will take but a little breeze to cause the stalks to blow down. One good watering will make a | good crop if the corn has been thor oughly cultivated. The best time 1 to water is just when the tassel be gins to show the stalk. I t is then near |y done growing and all the moisture will be utilix- d to procure tbc grain. Small Grain: Having had no experience with irriga'ing small grain I can only suggest what I think woul 1 b" tin* proper way to irrigale a Held of grain—the same way as with corn. The land should be well prepared before t-lie grain is sown so ns to secure an even stand. The labor required will be bat little mors than with corn if the lateral hufc behrt properly ‘aid out and the land slightly ridged the same as a corn livid would lie when the rows are ridged. Of course the water will not How as far in a grain field, it being obstructed by the plants. Therefore more laterals wiP be required or smaller fields. Great care should be urged that the water will not wash the soil away from the roots. Grain should not tie watered before the ground is shaded, to prevent the ground from baking. Most irriga tors use the furrow system when irrigating a field of grain, by plow ing a furrow every few rods in a field nearly ou a level. The water is then turned into tue one next to the lateral. When the furrow is filled it will overflow all along and when ouo space is wet enough it is tur _ i • . _.1_ . I... ItVU III H/ .. ■ — — field is watered. 1 cun see no reason why the method I have giv en would not be the most practical The field then remains in perfect condition to harvest the crop. Three peeks per acre of wheat is plenty for seed if the ground is in good condition and one aud one half bushels of oats is all that is required per acre.

Ho seldom retires until lawn, but rises again at 8 o’clock, hav ng spent tlie nigiit bard at work listcn ug to reports anil attending to the iflairs of state. When lie has nothing •Iso to do, ho reads French detective itorics, for he lias an all pervading idea hat conspiracies are being batched igainst him, and passes his time eir 'umveuting an imaginary conspirator. S’oboily knows where lie will spend any rart of tlie day or evening.

W'liero the sultan will sleep is never known. He possesses more than 00 beds in the different parts of the palace, and theso bedrooms are separated from the rest of the edifice by iron doors and fur nished with most ingenious and compli cated locks. Two superb Ft. Bernards ilso sleep outside the door of the apart ment in which the sultan may Ixi sleep ing, for ho knows that four footi d aruardiaus eanuot be tampered with. Formerly the members of the imperial barem used to move about among the numerous palaces on the Bosporus, but Abdul Hamid put a stop to it. The la lies of the. barem never have the benefit jf a change of air. Their palace is their prison, and nowhere does phthisis claim so many victims as in the harem of ITildiz.—Contemporary Review FIELD DIVERSIONS. A Federal Officer Wlio Head Novel* Be tween Kngagement*. General Horaoo Porter tells the fol lowing anecdote in his “Campaigning With Grant” in The Century: During the ten days of battlo through which wo had just passed very little relief, physical or mental, lnul been obtained, but there w:is ouo staff officer, a Colonel B-, who often came as bearer of messages to our headquarters, who al ways managed to console himself with novel reading, and his peculiarity in this respect became a standing joke among those who knew him. Ho went about with his saddle bags stuffed full or tnnuing romances, ana wits seen sev eral times sitting on liis horse, under a brisk fire, poring over tho last pages of an absorbing volumo to reach the de nouement of the plot and evincing a greater curiosity to find how tho hero and tho heroine were going to bo extri cated from tho entangled dilemma into which they hud been plunged by the unsympathetic author than to learn the result of the surrounding battle. Quo of his peculiarities was that he took it for granted that all tho people ho met were perfectly familiar with his lino of literature, and ho tulked about nothing but tho merits of tho latest novel. For the last week ho had been devouring Victor Hugo’s "Lea Miser able*." It was an Luglish translation, for the officer hud no knowledge of French. As ho was passing a house in rear of the "angle" he *uw a young la dy seated on tho porch, and, stopping hts horse, bowed to her w ith ail the grace of a ChestvrtU Id aud endeavored to engage her in conversation, before ho bail gotm far bo took occasion to re mark, "by the way, have you *c. >i 'Lee* Mis* raid. ».‘* " anglicising the pronunciation Her black rpu ius|i|x4 with indignation as she tartly replied; “Uoii't y*>u talk to me that way.
