f y In Iroquois county, 111., 63,500,000
gallons of water are supplied dally by
artesian wells for the Irrigation of land.
These wells do not lu any instance
exceed 75 feet In depth ; they are of
small bore, and within a radius of
twenty miles there are 200 of them.
Illinois has 800,000 milk cows.
To properly care for them and their
products requires the labor of 40,000
men and 00,000 horses, while they de
mand for their subsistence the use of
over 8,C00,000 acres of land. Their total
money value Is placed at $124,800,000.
65" The largest cultivated wheat farm
on the globe Is Bald to be the Qrondin
farm, not far from the town of Fargo,
Dakota. It embraces some 40,000 acres,
both Government and railway land, and
lies close to the Red river. Divided in
to four parts, it has dwelling8,granarles,
machine shops, elevators, stables for
200 horses, and room for storing 1,000,
000 bushels of grain. Besides the wheat
farm, there Is a stock farm of 20,000
acres.
83T A farmer who has been very suc
cessful at raising corn says : Last spring
I took no ears that were less then twelve
inches in length. Then I took off three
inches at the tip end and two Inches at
the butt end, and from these central
grains I got ears fifteen inches in length
and from fourteen to sixteen rows. If
farmers would be more careful in select
ing their seed corn they would find
themselves repaid in the difference of
their crops.
To Drive Away Rats,
My premises, last ear, became awful
ly infested with rats. They were every
where, burrowing, gnawing and rioting.
I procured a quantity of coal tar from
the gas works in town, and poured
some of it in their holes, and runs, and
resorts, wherever I could find a place.
It cleared them out in a week's time.
They don't like tar, and will not stay
where they are liable to get daubed with
it. Practical Farmer.
Honored and Blessed.
When a board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such a wide range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis
pensed with, many were skeptical ; but
proof of its merits by actual trial has
dispelled all doubt, and to-day the dis
coverers of that great medicine, Hop
Bitters, are blessed and honored by all
as benefactors.
Breaking In Heifers.
T here are often times trouble in get
ting young heifers to take kindly to
their first milking. A correspondent of
the Rural Home tells as follows how he
manages them : As the time of the year
has come when heifers are coming in
that have never been broken to milk, I
will send theteaders of the Rural Home
my way to break them : Tie them up,
and give them a mess to eat while
milking, and if they are nervous, take
a common surcingle, and put it around
the body just before the hips, and in
front of the udder, buckle It tight,' sit
down close to boss, and go to milking,
being careful not to hurt the teats by
hard squeezing. At first be gentle, and
in a few weeks boss will stand still to
be milked.
Coffee Grown In Delaware.
I was shown on Saturday a sample of
coffee grown by Elijah Freeney, color
ed, residing one mile and a holf from
Seaford. The canes upon which it
grows attain a height of from four to
to Ave feet. The pericarp, or pod, con
taining the seed is two inches and a
half in length,-oval in shape, and is of
a dark . brown color. They cling al
ternately to the joints in the cane. The
train resembles the green color of the
English coflee, and when fully matured
in about the size of a pea. It has a very
pleasant odor and Its flavor is mild and
rich. To successfully cultivate it re
quires, high fertile ground, as experi
ment has demonstrated that low land is
not adapted to Its growth. The seed was
obtained from Wicomico county, Mil.,
but where It came from originally Mr.
Freeney could not tell. Every Eve
