PUT TO THE TEST.

Early upon the morning Of the eleventh
of October, General CRANKY Dumont pre-
sented himself at the house of Mr.. Ovington.
This time he was admitted The servant
who ushered him into the drawing room
was William Gorton.
This man looked furtively at the pale face
of the soldier. The noble countenarce Of
CRANKY Dumont was like some open book,
whose truthful pages reveal only that which
is great ard generous. Every emotion was
plainly written upon that brave and candid
face, and William Gorton clearly saw thai:
some secret trouble was preying upon the
mind Of Miss Ovingtons a..;arced husband.

walked. with o soft tread, through the cor
ridors between the outer hall and the ele-
CANT morning-room into which he ushered
the General-''if he knew as much as do,

was shivered to atoms. and the form of q

How to Ditch and Drain Properly.

The great work of draining should be
done thoroughly and Systematically. 1t
is not bad idea to look the farm care
fully over with a view to determining
where bitches are most needed, where is
the best place to locate the main drains,
and what number of laterals is needed
to complete the system required to prop
erly drain given area. Then a chart
should be, made showing the precise To-
cation of all the drains on the farm.
This will be found serviceable when it is
desired to find any drain which may
need attention. The main drains should
be made large enough to freely carry off
all the water which the system of later
ais may take to them. Too often the
mistake is made of making drains too
small, when imperfect drainage or the
double expense of taking them up are
the inevitable results Among the first
things to be looked to is a good and suf-
ficient outlet. Under the Drainage
laws now in force in perhaps nine
tenths of the States in the Union this may
be secured without difficulty, so far as
getting through adjoining lands is con-
cerned. Having secured the outlet the
next thing is to have a regular fall for
drains This is necessary to keep the
BllC lEOlu utl1LlS up eIIIO clAh tbfO IL SOOO
working order. In short, it pays to
take all needful precautions at the prop
er time: it is expensive enough to put in
drains the first time without having to
do the work over.
Perhaps mistake made Oftener than
any other in draining lies in not haV-
ING the tile deep enough. 1t has been
estimated that an average depth of the
tile drains of the country does not eX-
coed twenty inches. 1t is now generally
conceded that to be fully effective tile
should be laid at least twice this depth.
In a recent address delivered before the
Tile and Drainage Association of Ohio
Mr.. j. G.. Wagner claims for deep
drainage that it gives access to a much
larger amount of plant foOd-three feet
in depth giving access to three times as
much as one foot in depth will allow the
roots to reach; that it will give three
times as much moisture to draw from in
dry seasons, and even more, as the top
is the part dried out by the sun; also
that air deposits moisture on cold sur
faces, as may be noticed in cellars or
ice-boxes. Hence the pores in we'll
drained land receive deposit of moist
ure in hot weather which is of great as
sistance in raising good crops-a result
which could not be accomplished by
shallow drainage.
There is still another advantage in
deep drains, and that is. tile deeply laid
is not so liable to become filled by roots
forcing their way between the joints of
the tiles. It is claimed that the deeper the
drains the earlier in the spring blowing
can begun. Also, that land deeply
drained viii not be damaged by sudden
or by heavy rains. to the extent that such
rains affect shallow-drained soil.-Cti-
