Un...erIraininS.

1t was only a few years ago that the
attention OF Illinois farmers was direct
ed to the sub ect of understanding as =
means of improving the productive ca
pacity of their lands, and carrying OF
the surface water that retarded field
work so late in the spring. They at
once recognized the value of dra mage
rs necessary feature in the agri eul-
ture of State whose surface is monot-
onously leve., and began to take steps
to introduce it. How far they have
progressed may be learned from the
fact that there a"e now $50 drain-tile
factories in the State, near'y all of them
established since 1875. The greater
number of them are TO be found in the
central portion of the State east of the
Illinois River, which embraces the grain
district. These factories have an ag-
gregate capital of S3,794,005, employ
.. 4y5 hands, pay out in wages Sl,454,-
600 year. and turn out 1886, 900
pieces of tile pipe, worth S3,O60,OOO, a
year.
A large portion of Central Illinois is
now underdrained; nearly every thrifty
farmer has his fields underlaid with
pipe, and the work is only ia rly begun.
AS the advantage of draining in drying
and warming the soil and improving
its productive CAP acity becomes mani
fest the system extends, and it will not
be many years before the Prairie State
will be a network OF underground
pipes. Illinois farmers are bee )ming
as proverbial for their intelligent thrift
as illinois sol is for fertility. The most
effective farming in the United States
is to be seen in the Central and North
ern Counties of that tate; and the sys-
TEN OF undertaking is an example of
the readiness with which Illinois hus-
bandmen carry out new ideas that
promise to increase the yield of their
acres.-St. Louis RepuJtican.

To make good blood, as already in
timated, there must be good foOd-ma-
terials. And here, would emphasize
the fact that the most wholesome and
nourishing food is the plain and SIM
pie the most easy Of digestion. A piece

grease and sugar, can not favorably
compare with plain. lean meat. the
grains and fruits. When the food is
sufficiently simple, taken in moderate
quantities, ali may be assimilated, ade-
quately,nourishing the cody, with no
waste to putrefy the body.
Since the body is constantly dying in
all of its parts, the old and worn-Out
TISSUES passing off, being renewed by
new materials made from the blood,
daily produced from our food, and
since more than one half of this waste,
dead matter passes offthrough the pores,
it is a matter of much importance that
the sur ace should be kept in a good
condition. Cleanliness is next to god
liness.' OF course the most import
ant means of purifying the blood is by
the escape this dead, waste MATER

numbers when this waste is properly

prevent this ABSORPTION, it is necessary

j. G. Goodhue of Vershire. VT, in
regard to the common white weed or

out the daisy, and while you can not
exterminate it in this way it will put in
weak and subdued appearance. He
