FARM M ET HC T"he Value o?' I rriga" ^Thoroughly Farm ami lu America irrigation is in its in fancy. In China it is in its dotage. Probably the majority of thc people of thc United States never saw au irri gated held larger than a domestic gar den. In China every part <>f the country that can be watered by the crude methods available i- artificially supplied with water. .v'o thoroughly is the value of irrigation for agricul ture understood by thc Chinese that land is multiplied in value by from two to five by til3 simple fact that it can be irrigated when so desired. \ Probably one reason why the Mongo lians appreciate thc value of irrigated lands is thc fact that their chief cereal is rice, and rice, or "paddy," fields, as they arc commonly called, must bc covered with from one to three inches, of water from planting time until liar vest. Evaporation in the?e semitropi cal countries is very rapid, aud the water must be supplied regularly and in large quantities. But all the crops are more or less irrigated wherevor possible. Wheat is sown in rows and j an irrigated ditch six inches deep runs the length of the field every three or j four feet. Sweet potatoes, beans, peanuts, sugar cane, tobacco and that ai-ehde s troy er of thc Chinese nation, the poppy, are all cultivated in the same way. In irrigation, as in everything else, the Chinese seem to have carly learn ed its value and developed it practical ly to a certain degree of efficiency and then 'Stopped. They have made no improvements in this line for a thous and years, just as they have stood still in every other art of civilization. Wherever possible, wator running down hill is utilized and spread out upon the fields. Thc hillsides, and even the mountains, are terraced, and the little streams running down their sides arc utilized from their very source. This terracing of all slopiug ground is one of tho features of Chi nese agriculture that strikes the trav eler as most curious. Every field is level, no matter how steep the slope. This is necessary in order to hold the water; and evon where the ground is not irrigated the fields are all mado level artificially, if not so naturally. This is one of the many evidences of the skill of the Chinese farmer. Every field looks like a garden. After getting down into tho valley tho stream is larger, and it is utilized upon a correspondingly larger seale, A crude dam is thrown across it, and a portion of the water is diverted into a ditch from one to four feet wide and half as deep, and the fields below upon that side of the stream are irrigated from it. A little diatance below an other partial dam will divert water in to a similar ditch upon tho opposite side. The water thus diverted to the fields runs over them and off into the stream again, except what is lost by evaporation and absorption. This process is continued as long as possi ble, but finally the stream becomes lower than the banks, and artificial methods of lifting the water must be resorted to. The treadmill pump is thc most generally used machine, and a very efficient one it is, though it cannot be classed among the labor-saving ma chines of the vovid. It ia au endless chain of wooden links, each link hav ing a four-cornered disk in the middle that fits close to thc sides of thc long boxlike pump, which is from eight to sixteen feet long and six to ten inches wide. The pump has a bottom board, but no lid. Iiis placed in a stream, canal or pond, leaning upon tho bank at an angle of about 45 degrees. It is worked by foot-power, from one to four men or womon staudiog at the top of the windlass, leaning upon a horizontal bar and stepping from one round spoke to tho other. Water is raised rapidly and in large quantities by this process, but it can only bo j lifted from six to ten feet at a time. It is not uncommon to see two work ing, lifting the same water in sections. This requires at least eight persons, and the expense would seem prohibi tive in any country except China. A net-work of canals spreads over the level plains of China, every where, and in South China, at least, this tread mill pump is used -almost exclusively to lift the water from them to the fields along the low bank. But these are tho favored regions where the land brings the highest prices, and tho water is considered to be easily ob tained and abundant. For short lifts of from two to five feet they common ly usc a bucket swung by two persons with ropes. Small pools for catching rain water . aro dug in the regions away from the streams and canals. But these are seldom more thau a fourth of an acre i in size, and oftener less than more, in many places it would be easy to throw a dam across the narrow pass of )I)S IN CHINA. tion. For .Agriculture Linders too < 1. Pitt s,\h. a mountain stream and make a lake that would furnish abundant water tor large tracts of laud in thc valley below without labor and with certain ty of supply. But the Chines?; Gov ernment docs not consider such things as part of its business. The Magis trates have very short terms in a place, and their chief thought is to "'make hay while the sun shines"-get rich as quickly as possible before another one is appointed. As to the people organizing companies to carry out such works, they are toj suspicious of each other, and know each other too well to unite to build irrigation plants upon a large scale. However, they do unite upon a comparatively small scale. The water rightH arc carefully stated in the deeds of land, and they take their turn in using water from small supplies like wells and ditches. This is especially true in times of drought. However, when thc supply becomes insufficient -for all. it is very frequently monopolized by the most powerful family, clan or village and the weaker are driven off. This is a fruitful source of village fights, often ending in bloodshed. The old-fashioned well sweep is used where there are no streams and where water can be reached at twenty feet or less. Three persons drawing water from a well for irrigation, one bucketful at a time, is a sad sight to the foreigner. But to the Chinaman it is only sad when ho cannot get the water evon by this amount of labor. These shallow wells soon go dry in a drought; then the people often sleep beside the well, arising every two or three hours to draw thc water that bas accumulated. "Why not dig deeper?" The swt ? p will not work well over twenty feet, and thc Chinese know nothing about suction pumps. Nor do they know how to sink a well into the sand. When a bcd of sand is reached they Btop. Even so simple a thing as a wooden casing they havo not thought of. I havo priced farm lands 300 yards apart. One priced at $20 an acre, tho other at $200, the only essential dif ference being that the first was, say, thirty-five feet to the water, and the second fifteen or twenty feet. That additional lift of fifteen feet made the difference in price. Some time Amer ican windmill pumps will change all that and it may not be very long in the future, either? Bst when every other method fails these patient toil ers will carry -rater si! day long and a good part of the night half a mile or more, if necessary, to save a part of their precious orop. It means starva tion if it is lost. Decadence of Family Life. "There are other and graver faets of whioh I can but hint herewhioh prove how deep is the deoadonce of the old sacred family life and how rapidly tho instinct of motherhood is dying out among our women," Wi.tes "An Amerioan Mother" in thc April La dies' Home Journal. "One is the rapid and enormous increase of di vorces in this country, especially in the northeastern farming States. It is not only the gay, self-indulgent hus band and wife who tire of each other, but the plodding farmer and the wo man who is old and worn out with work. Another fact, oven more tragic and significant, is the numberof child less homos in tho Northern States. Hundreds of the oldest leading Amer ican families have become extinct in the last decade. The women of these families were notably active in public work. So largo has been the decrease of births of American parentage in ouo section of this country that there is a real danger that the native stock there will entirely die out. There are darker depths here whioh I shall not uncover. All women have lookod in to them." - There is no native of thc State of Nebraska among its representatives in either branch of Congre; s notwith standing tho fact that Nebraska be came a State thirty-three years ago and was the twenty-fourth admitted into the Union.

"?loving Timo in Itirdhiml. The moving Kcason has begun it) thu bird world, and great numbers of thc little wanderers are returning from their winter vacations to the places which were made brighter by their presence a year agi;. Among the first birds to come back were the blackbirds. They came, as they always do, in Hocks and seemed to know just where to locate, and many haunts which they chose as their homes last year arc al ready occupied by the black advance agents of the warm season. "Their vacations were spent in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida," said John I). Hicks, who is a careful ob server of the birds of this country, ''and their actions when they come back here seem to say that they are ii lad to be here again. They seem to like company, and arc always in flocks, many often nesting in tho same tree. They never fight, and live peaceful, quiet lives, even through the days of courtship, a term which with some birds is productivo of much discord and conflict." People who have had an opportunity to study thc ways of thc blackbird in the courting time know that, despite his love of peace, he is anxious to make conquest', and in these his plumage plays the important part. Thc male bird struts and hops where thc sun will show his feathers off to the best advantage. These look purple, jet black, bronze and brown from various points of view. He ruffles his feathers, and, like a dandy, misses no occasion to make his appearance striking, until he has made au impression on some female wheo he relapses into the same state of indifference as to his personal appearance which often characterizes men whoso faultless dress was their distinguishing character in their days. THE KOBIN8 WOOING. The robin, which has also come for the season, is more riohly endowed by nature than the blackbird as to plum age, but makes no effort at conquest by means of his personal appearance. Fine feathers are of no consequence in the eyes of Miss Robin, aqd C. Robin knows it. These birds have many peculiar traits. They come from the south in pairs and siugly, how and when nobody knows. The flight h usually made at night, aud a chirp in '.ho early morn ing is thc first sign that the robins have come again. Th^y go to the country or to places where there are lawns or orchards, and ia the selec tion of their summer homes they show a deoided learning toward the habitations of man. The robin must have its mate, for he believes in do mestic bliss, and he sets about the task of househunting Boon after the summer homo has been reached. His wooing is of a barbaric nature, and requires pluck and perseverance. He picks a quarrel with another mate bird in the presence of a female, aud, knowing that he is fighting for ahorne, he fights hard. The lady sits near by apparently unconcerned and un conscious of what is going on, but she always has au aye on the contest, the result of which is usuaLy an en gagement in Robinland with the vic torious combatant as the bridegroom elect. Then the female makes active preparations for housekeeping. Her nest is built after the regulation pat tern, of straw and mud, and the inner wall is mado perfectly round by the pressure of tho builder's body against the soft and pliable material. Mrs. Robin is an industrious he jsekeeper, and works incessantly ur ..il the home is made ready for occupancy. The nest is usually built in aa out-of the-way place, bot the site is not always skillfully selected, and often eomes within the reach of thc small boy. "* SONG SPABROWS. When one hears a number of song spat row? chirping sweetly at this time of the year ho may know that some where near by a lady sparrow is tho audience, and that the conoert is being given for her benefit; that each Bingcr is doing his best to outsing the other because the rewaH will be more than the applause of a large audience or an inorease of sahry. From her^ pereh on a ueghboring twig she en courages the performers with a nod'or a blink, and then with a chirp of ap proval, goes to thc master singer and becomes his mate as a reward for his superiority, and tho disappointed com petitors go in search of a moro appre ciative audicnoo. The song sparrow's English cousin, who receives more abuse than praise, and is here in all seasons, has a less poetic method of wooing, possibly be om.nn I. ~ U-1 ! i-11 ~-. .1 _-J _ -I UV> MUO IIVVIO Jiuuu; uuu ti VJ otug ing voice. He has no fine plumage, and hates to fight excopt for his por sena? rights, but hu uar* domestic in stincts, and, liko every respectable bird, wants a mate, and secures her by a peculiar mode of wooing, whieh is really an exhibition of endurance. Mr. Sparrow shows by his courtship that ho is well qualified to bo a highly satisfactory husband, and one who caa endure any amount of henpecking. When th? sparrow makes his bow before the bird whom he whishos to bcoomc Mrs. Sparrow ho bops and skips about before her while the lady bird pecks and picks at him., When there are several candidutes for lier j favor she piek? each one, nn<! the bird which makes the least ftiaa and stands the abuse with the greatest composure is the one which carries off the prize. The phoebe hird, an industrious ily catcher, is also among the early bird?, and many of them have already come from the .South.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-There is probably no single fact, the knowledge of which is more interesting and im portant to* the southern people than the amount of the cotton crop. The present methods of ascertaining the magnitude of the cotton crop are un satisfactory. There is one method of ascertaining the amount, of the crop exactly, for there is one process, that of ginning, to whioh all cotton for any commeroial or industrial use whatever must be Subjected, if one could ob tain from all the ootton gins of the country reports of the amount, of staple they have turned out the preoise ag gregate of the whole crop would be known. lt is proposed to apply this process in-taking the twelfth census, the field work of which is to begin on the first of J>?.a@. An azptzi apeciul agent has i been appointed whose sole duty will be to obtain returns from all the gin ning and bailing establishments in the cotton-growing region.

After being swelled by the rains of a week, cn iSSv u?iuru ay the river broke great* dam at Austin and swept away in a few hours property that cost more than $2,500,000. The dam was the base of a reservoir 39 miles ?cog and 60 feet deep. It was here that the city of Austin got its water, light and power. The tremendous body of water went down the valley in a great flood, several miles wide, sweeping every thing before it. As many as fifty people are reported dead, and thous ands ot cattle have been seen floating down the river. Many houses have also been washed away. The Brazos and other streams are also high out of their banks, and thousands of aeres of 3orn and cotton will have to be re planted.
