Farm Drainage.

ALL farm lands are greatly improved,
and made more productive, by being
properly drained. From experience and
observation am satisfied that underdrain-
ing, if properly done, where it is prac-
ticable, is much the best, yet lands which
are quite rolling and hilly would in most
cases be greatly benefited by making
deep dead burrows every two Or three rods
apart when blowing. But when the land
is only moderately rolling or nearly level,
make good-sized open bitches, not more
than eighty rods apart, deep enough to 60
mostly below the top soil, in order that
the land may be drained below the roots
of the growing crops, then as the surplus
water runs off, the air will enter the soil,
and rising up through to the surface,
aereate and warm the land, which helps
to furnish good and wholesome food for
the crops. thereby increasing the yield.
But undertaking if properly done is
still better.
Drains should not be far apart, and
should be so laid as to run from the head
to the outlet with some descent, and be
from two to four feet below the surface
(of course an outlet must be provided.)
This would drain the soil more evenly
and thoroughly, reaching all parts of the
land or field to be drained. By this
method of draining while the surplus
water is running off, the air is running up
the drains, and rising through the ground,
aerating and warming the soil, making it
fit for cultivation full ten days earlier in
spring, and continuing its warmth as
much later in tie fall, thereby lengthen-
ing the growing and ripening season, and
in most cases, preventing injury from
early and late frosts, which in some sea-
sons would ada more to the value of The
crop than the whole cost of the drainage.
Where the land is favorable for under
draining, the cost need not be more than
from two to four dollars per acre, accord
ing to the prices paid for labor and ma
terials. The drains can be made CT pine
boards; strip six and half inches wide
nailed on to the edge of strip five and .
half inches wide, and, in lieu Of bottom,
nail short strips across about four feet
apart, to keep the sides in their places.
This kind Of drain will last many years,
and do good service. Therefore, / would
recommend undertaking as being the
greatest benefit to the soil.
But persons who cannot conveniently
underdrain their land should at least dig
q few open bitches, of good size and
proper depth for main, and then when
blowing make deep dead burrows, leading
into the bitches, which. will be found
highly beneficial: = Cor. Rural Nese

Few farmers consider that each crop
that Is grown and removed from the soil
has taken away 30 much strength and
virtue from it; that in the stalk and ker-
mel is found the concentrated richness
that was in the ground until transformed
by. the mysterious ways Of Nature in its
Transformation. Nature asks no aid from
the husbandman, neither will it quietly
brook being plundered, but, instead, fol-
lowing each demand made upon it in q
way Of crop, it 10 found reduced and
worn, and will not again attain to It's
former merit until there ID restored to it
equally and in proportion what has been
taken from it.
Rotation In crops is demonstrated as being
not only best, but demanded; the continual
growing and gathering from the same
field q harvest of the same or kindred
product will in due time deprive the. soil
in the field of the ability to produce that
especial article, as it has taken from the
soil all that is necessary for the successful
production of that crop, and either fcrtil-
izers must be supplied, or the field will
become wholly worthless, save for some
other and entirely different kind of prod.
uct. When crops fail of themselves,
the failure, as q rule, can be traced to the
neglect of men, and not the defect of
Nature, or mistake of the Creator. The
soil is provided in general state of rich
ness; if continual demands are made
upon it to produce, and no return offered
in way of remedies for its degenerating
tendency, the outcome will be thin crop
from an exhausted soil.
The principal products of the farm are
of that class that are employed in feeding
the great family Of consumers, and con-
sequently it is removed in bulk from the
soil, and but minimum portion of it re-
mains to enrich the ground for another
season; the stalks and straws are lost to
it, and another robbery committed. TAX
ing from the soil these vital principles and
making no return from them is reducing
each year the value of the farm per acre
in dollars and cents.
This need not be, rs the product from
the soil taken and transferred into other
conditions, such as composite and manure,
if returned to the fields, will restore to the
soil its strength, and keep it ever in
condition to respond tc the demands made
by succeeding crops.-Fdcsory and Farm.

moment Pinxit only saw the place where
she had been Standing, and there MAS
nothing more TO do but wrap up his pict-
ure in piece Of brown paper and carry
Il home under his arm; no enc was 70
stare ct It any more-that was one mercy,
ct least.
That evening was the worst of all to be
got over. If the Professor were to have
heaven open before him the next day, It
had better come with one burst, Pinxtt
thought, but the difiicult question was.
how to contain himself In the meantime.
And when morning came, the battle was
all TO be fought over again. -Four
mortal hours to be devoured, or to
devour him, before precise noon could
arrive. Nine, ten, eleven, by the great
bell close bv. A quarter of twelve at last !!
The moment PM heard that, he dashed
of to the Professors door,.
"Come in, can't your he said, II
want you to help me to prove an equs-
In three or five minutes" answered
the Professor, with his eyes closed to
heap of figures. and he went back at q
white heat, but knowing very we'll the
Professor would be true to the second.
And 80 he was, only casting one quiet
sidewise glance at Pink as he came in;
he had not been down town that morning
what did IL mean?
"Wait q jiff," said Pink. very busy
with his paints, and the Professor waited
meekly, but at that instant q light step
was heard coming near and pausing just
outside. Pink threw his brush against
the wall, where it left little slur of rose
color to This day, and opened the door,
slipping . little behind it Is it swung in,
80 that his visitor and the Professor en-
couu tered face to face. One look was
enough for the little painter, and he van
ished through the still open door.
Whatever became of that next half
hour. while he paced sentinel in the CORR
dor outside, Pinxit would have found ii
hard to tell; it seemed an eternity, and
still, If eternity should prove steady flow
of such delighted state, what could he
ever ask for more? But he kept an ear
open for time, through it all, and listened
for half-past twelve to strike. He must
break the sacred solitude then, for sitter
was due in another five minutes, and it
would never do. So with q premonitory
rattle of the door.knob, he went back it
was all over-that was plain enough to be
seen.
"To.morow!" the Professor was say.
ing in ecetatic tones. ut will be New
Years Day!"
PROFESSIONALLY exclaimed Pink, be-
fore he realized what he was about.
The Professor started, and little laugh
slipped from Celeste.
"In seven or nine days, them" urged
the Professor, only half discounted, ana
this time victory promised to be his.
It was dark as Egypt, of course, when
the New Years strokes on the old bell
reused the little Portrait Painter the next
day, but four distinct objects rose instant
ly before his eyes; the chrysalie box, the
celestial peas, the Professor and Celeste,
and he knew that 1.-THE sum OF their
square was equal to unity. "-Isa6ella T.

He bit into an apple, concluded to take a
barrel of twenty ounce pippins, went
away, and, after being absent an hour or

he had bitten into. On being asked why
he wanted that particular one, he said that
he had lost his false teeth somewhere, and
he Gather thought he had left them stick

of the temple and witness the one solitary
spectacle in all the city that is really and
truly affecting. It is Friday at the Jews
wailing- place Marrow, crooked and
filthy streets lead down under the hill of
the temple. As you approach the open
space against the huge blocks of stone
that are imbedded in the foundations of
the walls. your ear is startled by chorus
of agonizing cries. such . vail might
have ascended from the streets after that
night of the death of the first-b0rn. Turn
ing out of the slippery and ill.smelling
passage into the place of wailing, be-
held multitude of men, women and
children apparently stricken with com.
mon sorrow that could only find express
sion or relief in tears and piercing cries.
There might have been 200 mourners; a
very small company of strangers stood
apart and looked on in amazement. Old
men with snowy boards, old women with
cred and weather beaten, sat against the
wall opposite the sacred stones Of the tenn.
pie reading their prayer books and nod
ding their heads quickly and violently
back and forward as If they would impress
upon the very air the earnestness of their
muttered prayers. Young lads stood
against the temple wall and read their
litanies, kissing the stones from time to
time with affectionate reverence. The
women were more demonstrative, and a.
they threw their hands above their heads,
wrung their hands and wept bitterly.
Their cries and sobs were echoed by the
chorus of mourners, and hysterical wave
of emotion passed through the entire as.
sembly, that swayed to and fro like the
corn in the wind. Some of these mourn.
ers knelt apart, and, with their foreheads
pressed against the wall. worn smooth
with kisses, their eyes pouring rivers Of
tears all the while, they talked to those
huge blocks, passionately, As If they
meant the very stones should hear them
and reply. Small wicks floating in oil
were lit from time to time by those who
had Just come to vail. An attendant kept
supply ON hand, and those who gave
him a trifling fee were At once served with
q light, which was, however, left burning
In his charge. A few of the mournerl
knelt in meditation; . few gave way Il
violent gricf-a grief that seemed to
verge upon despair. All were evidently
thoroughly in earnest ~ they repeated
over and over this litany:
For the place that Lies deeolate,
We sit in solitude and mourn.
For the place that 10 destroyed,
We sit In solitude and mourn.
For The walls that are overthrown:
For our majesty that II departed:
For our Rrkat men who he dead:
For the precious Etones that are burned:
For the priests who have stumbled:
For the Kings who have despised Him,
We sit in solitude and mourn.
