Now nail two pieces of equal length together, the grooved sides being but so placed that each piece will say a foot beyond the end of the opposite ends, and thus, when break joints and form a continue with a bore for water to pass through two inches in diameter. To form for emitting the water, the pieces be placed on the upper side must with small holes or sawed cross intervals of one or two feet.

Underground Irrigation in Practice. Days since we paid a visit to Glen to examine the practical operal results of Aiken's Underground system. We were shown by not live in the ground saturated to any extent with water, any more than they can live in water itself; hence underground irrigation compels them to seek other homes and depend fororage elsewhere. Sac. Record. What the Granges Propose to Do. The following is an extract from an address by Judge T. Hart Hyatt, Master of Vacaville Grange: We propose to consolidate the farmers of California and our national Union into one united mass, to organize, conciliate and combine, so far as possible, every conflicting element into one united whole, so that, like the electric current that by touch can send an instantaneous shock to the remotest bounds of earth and sea, so shall the slightest outrage of these oppressors upon the weakest member of our Order of Patrons send a thrill through our entire lines, interpose a protective shield and call down a righteous retribution upon the offending aggressors. We propose to stand by each other in combatting the railroad monopolies, when they refuse to listen to reason and insist on charging rates of fare and freight that are ruinous to the farmer; in combatting ship monopolies and grain rings and produce brokers, who are not satisfied with Underground Irrigation in Practice. days since we paid a visit to Glen, to examine the practical operatial results of Aiken's Underground on system. We were shown by arietor about 1,000 feet of his pipe and the water running through it pump worked by a windmill. Mr. Aiken's plan has been describly well and published quite freely, it necessary, to give the reader a full standing of the benefits that we give brief description of its parts, and directions for making will best such description. Take two by each redwood scantling, have a round allowed in it by machinery one inch After seasoning, give it a coating of and it is ready to put together. All two pieces of equal length to the grooved sides being turned in, placed that each piece will project foot beyond the end of the other at ends, and thus, when laid, it will points and form a continuous tube bone for water to pass through, of times in diameter. To form apertures giving the water, the pieces that is to ad on the upper side must be pierced small holes or sawed crosswise, at of one or two feet. This pipe, as seen, will allow no water to escape is filled to a line above the center, rid level will emit water equally the length at the same time. Connect pes with the main pipe made in the banner but with larger bore and the side apertures, and you have them complete for level ground. By of boxes made of the same material raced upright, the system can be to uneven or sloping ground. Water being directed into the main conducted and distributed through drals, all at a time, or by means of in the uprights may be shut off at from any one or more of the laterals by allowed to run through such as operator may wish. This complete of the water is what the inventor gives his system superiority over all other plans yet invented or underground irrigation, and in stainty lies its greatest merit as an. Mr. Aiken's soil, in which his is at work, is of a sandy nature, and several pipes are laid about sixteen deep and sixteen feet apart. The is planted with strawberries, some, some melons, and is also covered small orchard trees, all of which are slightest outrage of these oppressors upon the weakest member of our Order of Patrons send a thrill through our entire lines, interpose a protective shield and call down a righteous retribution upon the offending aggressors. We propose to stand by each other in combatting the railroad monopolies, when they refuse to listen to reason and insist on charging rates of fare and freight that are ruinous to the farmer; in combatting ship monopolies and grain rings and produce brokers, who are not satisfied with reasonable commissions for their services, but who assume to dictate to farmers what prices they shall sell their grain and produce at, and dictate what amount of freighta they shall pay and what commissions they shall submit to. We propose that, inasmuch as it is the farmers' labor, and the farmers' capital, and the farmers' products that build up and support these modes of transportation and these middlemen, we shall have some voice in the handling and disposition of our products, and at least a small share of the profits. We propose to have lines of transportation, and warehouses, and shipping merchants, and store keepers, and machine builders, and dealers, and mechanics devoted to our interests—those that will be willing, and can afford to do our business at small, fair profits, by having our trade as a whole, guaranteed to them. We propose to aid and encourage the building of narrow gauge railroads wherever practicable and needed, to be owned and managed by or in the interest of farmers and farming pursuits, as a means of cheapening fares and freights, and getting rid of the extortions of the old monopolies. We propose to see why it is that farmers should not be placed upon an equal footing with other industries and other people in obtaining bank facilities, when they find it necessary to borrow money to aid in their farming operations; to see why it is that the farmer must pay from one and a half to two and a half per cent. per month interest, when the speculator, the grain ring sharks, can get money at the same places at one-half the rates, with which to "corner" the farmer and rob him of his just dues. Semi-Tropical Fruit Company Last August a company was formed in Healdsburg for the purpose of cultivating semi-tropical fruits in Los Angeles county. The capital stock of the company was fixed at $50,000 in shares of $100 each. At first the stock sold slowly; but in November the regular meeting was held, permanent officers were elected, and R. H. Gilman. Superintendent, was sent to Los Angeles county to purchase a farm. I N. Chauman, a stock holder, accompanied Semi-Tropical Fruit Company Last August a company was formed in Healdsburg for the purpose of cultivating semi-tropical fruits in Los Angeles county. The capital stock of the company was fixed at $50,000 in shares of $100 each. At first the stock sold slowly; but in November the regular meeting was held, permanent officers were elected, and R. H. Gilman, Superintendent, was sent to Los Angeles county to purchase a farm. I N. Chapman, a stock holder, accompanied him. A very fine piece of land situated three miles northeast of Anaheim, containing one hundred and five acres, was purchased for the uses of the company. A house was erected and the work of improving the place commenced at once. Last Spring a large grain crop was put out, most of which has done well, and from present prospects the company will realize about $2,000 from the crop. In addition to this work about 700 three and four-year old orange and lime trees have been put out, which are now looking well; the times will commence bearing at five and the oranges at seven years of age. The company have also purchased over seven thousand orange, lemon, lime and English walnut trees, which will be put out next Spring and will then be three years old. By next year at this time, with no unforeseen ill luck, the company will have out a hundred acre orchard containing about ten thousand trees, ranging from three to five years of age. The affairs of the company have been managed thus far in an economical manner; the assessments have been light; and the stockholders seem well pleased with the investment. Since the election of officers last Fall several changes have occurred by reason of several of the officers moving away from town. At present the officers are as follows: President, L. M. Holt; Secretary, Chas. E. Hutton; Treasurer, I N. Chapman; Superintendent, R. H. Gilman; Trustees, L. M. Holt, J. N. Chapman, Chas. E. Hutton, G. W. Otis and E. D. Parker. The true system is thoroughly satisfied from what we that Mr. A. has hit upon the truth of irrigation and that it will secure up advantages he claims for it. It the operator complete control over water as to quantity to be applied and direction to be distributed, and leaves around at all times unobstructed with rains, so that it can be cultivated as desired. It saves from fifty to seventy-five cent. of water over surface irrigation, every respect is better and more efficient, and in our opinion, in the long run economical for orchards, nurseries, fruits and all kinds of vegetables advantages for town lots, door yards gardens cannot well be pyr-estimated. Proof against gophers. Addition to other advantages, the unbound system operates as a perfect reflection against the presence and ravage that enemy of the farmer, the orchidist and gardener, the gopher. A bare section of the fact has proof of the position with all practical men. Gophers can
