A lady asks how to make hens lay in winter. , Tliis is a subject to which I have "given considerable thought. The eggs a hen lays dur ing the hot summer days, when filed away for future reference, are so inclined to lose their self respect on or prior to the winter months that they frequently remind one of the deficit in the gold reserve and other melancholy events. I have often thought how much pleasanter it would be to eat a nice, fresh, highly esteemed egg- than to be compelled to swallow one about which the odor of neighborhood scandal has hung for several months. I have seriously con sidered the subject in all its bear ings. I have tried to reason from a lien's standpoint, to put myself in sympathetic relation with a hen's train of thought, so to speak, and thereby ascertain what line of ar gument one ought to take to con vince hens of thelmportance of a radical change in their social and moral life. A hen, you sce.has consci encious scruples against raising a large and exacting family during the cold months, and this deters her somewhat from the attempt.

Grimes last Saturday evening was prolific of results that will be ex tremely interesting to ps-chologists throughout the world. The party was given for a purpose purely scientific and was one of the most unique social events that history chronicles. The participants call it a "socio-psychologic part," be cause of the happy blending of social and philosophic pleasures which belonged to it. The under; lying motive prompting the party was a firm and unalterable deter mination to investigate mince-pie dreams with the object of classify ing mince-pie effect upon a strictly scientific basis. The "hypnotic season: and the battle is half won. Second: Make the lives of your hens more pleasant. Give them three square meals a. day and put up a base burner in thejehicken house. No one need expect any hen to have aspirations tjIead a different life wh'en she is'coitipcllcd to' rus tle for a living every day in the year. Besides the poet has said, "A litllo solace now anil Uien Is relished by the wie't hen."' IRRIGATION NOTES. A minct's inch of water-is equal to nine gallons per minute. A cubic foot of water contains 7.4S gallons and weighs 62A pounds. One gallon of water contains 231 cubic inches and weighsS'j pounds. Doubling the diameter of a cylin der increases its capacity four times. It has been ascertained that 27, 154 gallons of water will cover one acre one inch in depth. The wind blows at a pumping velocity on an average of ten hours per day for the entire year. For Nebraska, from five to ten inches of water should be applied each season, varying according to the rainfall. Windmills will furnish water pro fitably from wells as deep as 200 feet for irrigating all kinds of fruit and vegetables. Square the diameter of the cylin der, multiply by length of stroke in inches and then multiply by .0034 influence of mince pie upon gray , d you have the capacity per matter" was the subject under con- j stroke in gallons. sideration.

Those present from which is sufficient to cover forty eight acres one inch in depth. It is estimated that three and a third millions acres of arid lands in South Dakota have been reclaimed A state irrigation policy, superin tended by expert ability and faith fully persevered in over a series of years, would put into the hands of Nebraska-'s people irrigation facili ties that would seem fairly astound ing if predicted now. The following clipping was taken from The Lamar Sparks a paper published down in Arkansas valley, Colorado, in Prowers county, where they used to howl drouth and starv ation as loud as anybody. They have quit it, and now they are on the other side of the market: Al falfa is the greatest staple of the valley, and Prowers county pro duced a splendid crop last yeay. The vield of seed was generous and of high quality and the hay crop is roughly estimated at 150.000 tons, and will probably exceed that figure. Thousands of cattle and horses have been driven here from less favored localities for feeding, and over 30,000 head of sheep are being cared for on the alfalfa lands near Lamar. Very little of the vast aniunnt of hay raised here will be shipped out of the county. Let us assume that Nebraska means business this time, says the Irrigation Age. What will be the character of thecltauges vrougllt.in in her economic life by the adoption of irrigation? It will be a revolu-j tion. The quarter section will come down to 80 acres, then to 40 I acres, and ultimately to 2J acres, j The Nebraska farm will no lonrer : be merely an insignificant segment! of the corn belt. It will be in a I modest sense a sovereign republic. I for within the limitations of his own little farm the land proprietor will be independent. He will learn from Utah the philosophy of diver sified crops and will try to produce , nearly everything h family con-1 smiles. Then he will laugh in the J face of panics as well as in the face j of dry years. He will learn from j southern California scientific methods of irrigation, and so will ' intensify the product of each acre : to the last degree. He will learn j from New England the social j advantages of thickly populated communities. The result will be a j new kind of civilization and the ' gradual evolution of an American J commonwealth, which will with-( stand every shock and strain that can come with time. The people of Nebraska should look forward to the next ten years as altogether thej the brightest in their history. ; There should be no faltering this, time.

The writer, who was pres ent, is sorry to make note of the fact that Secretary Carlisle was detected secreting half a pie in his overcoat pocket as he was about" to leave. Being charged with this breach of departmental courtesy he excused himself by declaring that Grover had bade him do it, and while he was himself irrevocably opposed to kleptomania, he was obliged to do as the president said or resign. He had his family to care for, he said, and could not resign. He was permitted to keep the pie. The Tribune expects to lay before its readers in future issues some of the scientific dis coveries made subsequent to the Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, Nebraska is most fortun ately endowed with water supplies, says the Irrigation Age. The amount of land that can ultimately be irrigated will be a large total in acreage, as nearly all of the state would be fit for cultivation if suffi ciently watered, the area reclaimed may seem small in comparison to the whole. The amount of water flowing in its surface streams, such as the North Platte, Republican. Frenchman, Loup. Niobrara and Missouri, is immense in the aggre gate. The possibilities for indivi dual irrigation plants from under ground sources are also very large ndeed. The storage of storm waters i- feasible to a considerable degree.

Tun American people are not! taking kindly to the president's, generous proposal to give Great Britain a cable station in the I Hawaiian Islands. He could just as well assign the British lion grounds in Alaska or a naval sta tion at San Erancisco. The people did not elect President Cleveland to build up English prosperity at the expense of American interests. Inter Ocean. Thurston's Speech of Acceptance. Following is a synopsis cohering the salient points in Hon. John M. Thurs ton's speech of acceptance in the joint, j convention which elected him United j States senator from Nebraska: ( Words are impossible in which to ad-j """-'J -.in.o in; lll'Ullll'lL lilLltulIU for tiio great honor you have- to gener ously bestowed upon me. It will bo my ambition,as your representative!) merit and retain tiio full measure of that confi dence, friendship and esteem with which j I am so signally favored. f j-ue people or AeorasKa have been pub licly and thoroughly advised as to how I stand upon nearly all of tho important tjuestions of the hour. I wish the legislature to know my views: for if you should differ with me I respectfully ask that you direct mo by appropriate resolutions as to your wishes. So long as I boar tho commission of the people of Nebraska I shall hold mvself as their servant and subject to their di rection. I desire, albo, to bo thoroughly understood, in order to invito criticism 1 in advance. While I havo doep-seatod convictions upon most public questions,' I have no pride of opinion which would stand in the way of giving full consider ation to tho views, arguments and sug gestions of othors. I am in favor of tho speedy enactment of a protective taritr law modeled upon tho general lines of tho McKinley act, and embodying tho reciprocity ideas of James G. Ulaino. Whatever labor is to bo dono for tho people of tho United States, shall bo done by tho people of tho United States under tho stars and stripes. I would put a stop to tho outflow of gold from tho treasury, lirst by requir ing that all import duties should be aid in gold at the option of tho treas urer of tho United States; and, second, by insisting upon the right of redemp tion, iu either gold or silver, of our out standing notes, whenever it become ap parent that redemption is being de manded for speculative purposes. It is said that such a policy would drive gold to a premium. In my judgment we can better afford to have gold at a premium than prosperity at a discount. There should bo no resurrection of wild cat money by the general govern-, ment or by any state in the union. Our national banking system should bo pre served. It is tho best that human in genuity has yet devised. I favor amendments, however, in the following particulars: The substitution of a lower interest bond as security for the na tional bank issue this substitution would of itself refund to that extent the government bonded indebtedness au thority to issue bank notes to tho full amount of the bond dpoiit; tho collec tion of a tax on tho entire authorized issue, and the imposition of a heavy penalty, or forfoitdroflf charter, for failure to zeop it-all :a escalation. -I am in favor of American bi-mettal-ism, and in this tho United States should lead tho world. I do not admit the claim so persistently made by advocates of free and unlimited coinage of silver, that our present evils aro the result of so-called silver demonetization; nor do I believe that the remonetization of silver would produce any startling changes in existing conditions. I am satisfied, however, that tho demonetization of one-half of tho world's supply of tho ul timate money of redemption was not for tho best interests of tho people of tho world, and I think wo should do every thing in our power to hasten tho re turn of bi-metalism among tho nations of tho earth. My position upon tho American silver question has been thoroughly understood by the people of this state, and I accept my election, by tho united vote of tho great republican majority in this legisla ture, as an endorsement of my ante-eloc-tion declaration in favor of tho coinage of tho American product of gold and silver into honest dollars. I heartily favor tho establishment of a labor commission, or bureau, or depart ment. which shall have general super vision of all matter pertaining to labor interests. I have lived in the stato of Nebraska for moro than a quajter of a century. I am thoroughly familiar with its people, its industries, its resources, its necessities and its possibilities. I yield to no man in loyalty to tho interests of this great commonwealth and this splendid west in which Nebraska is so centrally located. In tho senate of the United States it will bo my aim to labor for Nebrabka and for tho west. But in striving for their ad vancement and prosperity, I Bhall not lose sight of the fact that they are apart of the United States of Amencr. I havo no patience with those men who seek to array the west against tho east, or tho east against tho west. Whoever attempts to stir up sectionalism iu tho United States is a traitor to his country. This great agricultural and mineral west of which wo are so justly proud, cannot grow and thrivo and prosper as it ought and should without tho cordial friend ship, co-operation and assistance of tho mighty seaboard east, which represents the acoummulated capital of two centur ies and a half of American enterprise and thrift;and that mighty seaboard east cannot grow acd thrive and prosper as it ought and should, without the cordial co operation, friendship and assistance of this great pioneer west. Sectional selfishness should ee subordinated to na tional good. Nebraska put one star in tho azuro of our flag, and New York put another, but when they took their places in this flag, they were no longer stars of New York and Nebraska, but stars of tho greatest nation of the earth, shining for tho protection and happiness of every American citizen. Let it bo the ambi tion of all good and patriotic men I pledge you, my countryman, it shall bo mine to stand for tho prosperity and welfare of tho best government that has ever blessed mankind, and for the up lifting and K'orification 0f the dearest Hag that ever kissed the skv.
