New York, Boston, Chicago and at all other
leading cities in the country, while its corps
of correspondents cover all events of import
ance occurring in any Of the towns and cities

the expressions of the politicians, is John w.

The Effects Of Draining on the Soil.

The beneficial effects of drainage are
very marked. The stagant water is re-
moved from the surface, and from the
soil to the depth of the drain. Plants
need water, but they do not thrive in
stagnant water. The roots of plants
will even decay if kept too wet. Guilt
waited plants will not usually extend
their roots into the soil below the line at
which water stands permanently. Land
which is well drained will not only be
dry early in the spring, but will suffer
less from drought during the hot
weather of summer than the wet soil
The surface of wet land generally bakes
into hard crust when the water dries
out of it, while if it is underdrained so
that the water drains away, the surface
will be lett soft and pulverant. r.,
Colonel George E. Waring, Jr.. in
his Handbook Of Husbandry, sums up
the advantages of tile draining, as
follows: ''i. 1t greatly lessons the
evil effects of drought. 2. 1t enables
the soil to receive larger supply Of the
fertilizing gases of the atmosphere
(carbonic acid and ammonia) 3: 1t
warns the lower portions of the soil.
4. 1t lessons the cooking of the soil by
evaporation. 5. 1t greatly facilitates
the chemical acton by which its
mechanical texture is improved. 6. It
tends to prevent grass lands from run
ming out. Z. 1t deepens the surface
soil. 8. 1t renders the soil earlier in
the spring, and keeps off the effects of
cold weather longer in the fall. 9. 1t
prevents the throwing out of grain in
winter. 10. 1t enables us to work
much sooner after rains. Ii. 1t pre-
vents land from becoming sour. II. 1t
lessons the formation of a crust on the
soil after rains in hot weather." ha
The late John H. Klippart, in SINH
lar manner, summarized the advantages
of draining as follows: 81. The drain
age removes stagnant water from the
surface. 2. 1t removes surplus water
from under the surface. 1t length
ems the seasons. 4. It deepens the
soil. 5. 1t warns the soil. 6. 1t
equalizes the temperature of the soil
during the season of growth. Z. 1t
carries down soluble substances to the
roots of the plants. 9. 1t prevents
''heaving out" or freezing out" 9. 1t
prevents injury from drought. 10. 1t
improves the quality and quantity Of
the crop. II. 1t increases the effects
of manures. II. 1t prevents rust in
wheat, and rot in potatoes. - l*9
By draining, the rich stores Of plant
food which have been for ages accumu-
lating in low, wet ground. are made
available for the use Of plant growth.
Many of our swamps and meadows. if
well drained. would prove almost as
productive as the rich prairie land of
the West. Many man who has sold
his farm in the Eastern States and gone
West to obtain rich land, might have
obtained rich land at home by draining
his wet land.-Neao England Farmer.

A Postal Experience.

When General Burt was postmaster
In this city we witnessed scene wbic
was quite unio ue. A gentleman called
upon Mr.. Burt and urged the import-
ance of his bus, IS as, an excuse for
breaking in upon an interview. t'The
truth is.'' said the. merchant, who wa
in a very unenyiable state Of mind,
..your folks are very negligent. Last
week | mailed thirty-two letters which
re iuired prompt reply. Twenty were
sent to New York, and we have re-
sponses, but Of the twelve sent to phila-
delphia we have received no reply. 1t
is very evident they have been mis-
sent" Mr.. Burt ventured to.suggest
that If was scarcely possible that such q
mistake should have occurred, and
questioned the gentleman upon his
proof that the letters were ever mailed.
This was met with Indignation. His
clerk addressed them and mailed them.
MIR. Burt ordered the letters to be
brought him which had accumulate
for few days in the Office on account
of being either without stamps or in
sufficient po tage, aud they were placed
on a large table and carefully inspect
ed. "Do YOU see any which look like
your letters?p inquired Mr.. Burt.
There is letter about the size OF
NINE" said the merchant. .'Well, let
us see,'' sad Burt, chow many of these
we can find" After careful inspec-
ton twelve were found white envel-
opes without addresses or stamps and
no mark to indicate who sent them.
1--WE no authority to open these" said
Mr.. Eurt, ''but as there appear to be the
exact number you have lost, will take
the responsibility" The letter was
opened and was found to be one of the
twelve. There was an apology Offered,
and the scene closed. 1t IS neyer-well

aathorities without pretty sharp in

Farmers who have old orchards

not bear heavily. A covering of straw
