is more efficient than one of two feet

pertinent He caused drain to be dug
four feet deep in piece of pasture Al

On these was rammed hard clay two feet
deep. and on the clay was laid another
row Of inch tiles, and the trench waS fill

lower or four feet tiles not only comrlenc.

was much greater than the upper tie and
continued longer. But this was not all

Max. Ade.eF tells this history Of a
churling day: On Wednesday, Mrs.
Ksyser always churns, and last Wedues.
DAY, when she was ready she wens out,
and, finding that Mr.. Keyser had already
uut the milk into the churn. she began to
turn the handle. This YVES at : o'clock
| in the morning and she TUNED until 10
without any signs Of butter appearing.
Then she called in the hired man, aud he
turned until dinner time, when he ,noek-
ed OF With some very fensiye language
addressed TO the butter which had not
vet come. After dinner the hired girl
took hold OF the crank and turned it en-
ergeticalIy until o'clock when she let
20 with remark which conveyed the i'm
preston that she believed the churn 10 be
haunted. Then Mr. Keyser came out
and said he wanted TO know what was the
matter with that churn, anyhow. 1t was
a good enough ehuru, if people only knew
enough to work it. Mr.. Keyser then
worked the crank till $50 o'clock, when,
as the butter had not come, he surrender
Ell it again to the hired man, because he
had an engagement with man in the Wiz
lage. The man ground the machine to an
accompaniment of frightful imprecations
Then the Keyser children each took a
turn for half an hour, then Mrs. Keyser
tried her hand, and when she was ex-
hausted she again enlisted the hired girl,
who said her prayers while she turned.
But the butter didn't come When Key
ser came home and found the churn still
in action, he blasted his eyes and did some
other innocent swearing, and then he seized
the handle and said he'd make the butter
come if he kicked up an earthquake in
in doing it. Mr.. Keyser effected about
900 revolutions of the crank minute,
enough TO have made any ordinary butter
come from the ends of the earth; and,
when the perSpiration began to stream
from him, and sill the butter didn't come,
he uttered one wild yell of rage and dis
appointment, and kicked the churn over
the fence. When Mrs. Keyser went to
pick 1t up she put her nose down close to
the buttermik and took a snuff. Then
she understood how it was. The girl had
mixed the whitewash in the churn and
left it there.
