Somo soils admit of flooding, others do better under seepage, while nearly ev ery character of land produces the beat crops by furrow irrigation. The princi pal object in producing moisture is to get it in the place where the growing crops demand nourishment. Vory few crops roqnir. surface irrigation, and hence flooding is not the most advisable method of applying water, except to such pliuita ns require dew and moisture on the top of tlie ground. The best re mits are usually attained by irrigating in deep furrows. The furrows should be so constructed that wnter will not flow too freely and wash away the soil. A gradual slope is tho letter plan for making good ditches and will always produce better orop re sults. The water should never touch Pin-h crops os beuns, poiiH and corn. Shallow snrfuco irrigation will always result in decreasing the product ion of till crops Kt"" nbnve ground.

The rust atnd cab frequently notioed on root crops own ba avoided by deep Irrigation and keeping the water away from the grow ing trolbs. Furrows should always be made and water run through them once before the crop is planted. New land should be furrowed out and irrigated onoe after the flmt plowing and then plowed over and leveled before plant ing. Small shovel plows are good im plements fur making Irrigating furrows. They throw the soil on either side atnd thus ninke embankments for preventing the water from spreading over the sur face. Growing crops demand moisture, but do not require water. If too tnoch wa ter is tihwed on or uear tlie surfaoe, it will cause the alkali in the soil to rise ' and crust uround the vegetable plants. Deep lrriKBiinn bus a tendency to draw off the alkaline Hulartanee. The moisture does not rise to the surfaoe, and conse quently does no harm in baking or crust lng. D-p furrows place the mointure where ft properly tielongs and allow the water to permeate the ondistnrbed sjiitce between the sub and surfuce soils. The water fumiH pnthwiiys that by cir ouLutorv veins keep the soil enlivened and prevent the hvny sourness notioe I able in shallow irrigation. I Soil can lie more quickly cultivated I after a lierlod of Irrigation if the water ' hits Wn applied through deep furrows. I Weeds grow fast, and cultivation is neo I easary. If soil i siirntl when wet, it will ' bakit. If the plants are cultivated while ' wet, they will Isviiiim diseased with ; rot which w ill letmy the yield Sur I fmw irrigittion by fhssling or through shallow furrows brings upon the lund ' an immense amount of noxious weed 1 sued. The ixiinuiou water grass and j sand burs, ao ileetructivoof crops, are I nurtured by snrfuee irrigation. Make deep ditches and kep tlm water from I the surface, und you rid your lots to s j certain extent of those iesta. j Derp irrigation admits of butter open -I ings being miule in the main or sub head diu-iit and allows a niuro even and I . ,l;....ll.. t nmllalMUm will trickle along a deep farrow and aeep out un eit)s-r side, giving moisture to the roota of plants, when a greater stream would evaporate or be swallow ed by tlie dry soil within a few rods if pot in a shallow furrow. The water should not spread over the surfaoe either by seepage or flooding. It make the land unlit for pausing over in changing the furrows. Where a man sinks into the soil on aroonut of too much water the plant life for that season is destroyed. U Htark In Montana.
