once, but no later pruning should bedone. Four or five canes are 
enough for each stool, and all others should be removed. Cultiva- 
tion should not be continued later than the middle of the month. 
KITCHEN AND MARKET GARDEN. 
Weed killing will still be required. A weed that goes to seed now 
means a full supply of young plants to stock the ground next sea- 
son; wherever a portion of the crop is removed, an occasional run 
of the cultivator will help to keep them down and improve the con- 
dition of the soil. It is better to sow rye or buckwheat on such 
patches and plow them under before seed is ripe than to leave the 
ground bare. 
IRRIGATING WITH CLAY TILING. 
(A good Suggestion.) 
“T am more than than satisfied with my sub-irrigation plant. I 
have been running my pump all winter, and have my three acres all 
soaked up and in fine shape for gardening in the spring. Last 
spring I put in 300 feet of tiling, and I found that I could raise any- 
thing I planted. Some say itis too expensive. My garden is in town,and 
if I had to build a reservoir on it the land that I would have to use 
for that purpose would almost buy the tiling. As I pump direct 
into the tiling, this does away with the reservoirs.

DIAGRAM OF ARRANGEMENT OF TILING. 
“T have my tiling so arranged that I can wet any part of my gar- 
den whenever I choose. My tiling (38-inch) is laid 16 inches deep, 
and the moisture comes up to the top when thoroughly soaked. I 
have a well 43 feet deep. I use a5-inch pump and a 12-foot mill. I 
can lift 800 barrels per day, and there is no evaporation, as it pumps 
direct into the tiling.’—Irrigation Age.
