Although thousands Of readers use the
books in the library Of the English Museum
daily. and great freedom is allowed with
them. it is very seldom that any books are

last Of them was against a Nonconformist

DRAINAGE.
The Need of Thorough Drainage Fully
Demonstrated This Year.


Demonstrated This Year.
The need of thorough drainage on
farm lands has been most fully demon
strated the present season, which all
through planting time has been rainy,
rendering all low lying lands too wet
for tillage the greater part of the time.
Hundreds of farmers have been COM
PEELED to helplessly look on while their
teams and workmen lay idle, waiting
for the soil to dry out fit for blowing.
And doubtless many cornfields to-day
have but meagre ''stand" through the
soil being wet and cold, which might
nave been otherwise had the land been
thoroughly underdrained, and the con-
sequent higher temperature existed,
which that would be certain to bring.
There are to-day many cornfields
overgrown with weeds, from which the
cultivator has thus far been excluded,
only through being too wet for the work
to be done, which but for that cause
would now be cleaned out, and giving
fair promise of handsome outcome.
1t not infrequently happens that the
start given in the spring through early
planting, and a consequent early
growth, determine whether the corn
crop shall fully ripen before the advent
of al untimely frost. There are few
seasons indeed which will not favor
complaining on well underdraned
land in the late days of April, and
scarcely one that this work need be de-
ferred later than the first of May, so far
as fitness of the soil or seasonable
weather are concerned. In many fields
the present season planting was COM
pulsorily delayed until into June; the
one only cause for such delay being the
unfit condition of the soil on account of
the rains.
There is at present but slight excuse
over the greater portion of the prairie
country for the neglect of this needed
improvement. Within easy reach of
most communities tile factories have
been established, where the necessary
materials may be obtained at but
moderate cost. Men skilled in the
business of digging the necessary
bitches and laying the line of tile in q
wOrkman-lke manner are moderately
plentiful and do the work at an aston
ishingly low price.
When understood how important
factor corn has become in keeping the
wheels of domestic commerce in motion
and how severe is the check on all other
industries when the yield of this one
grain falls considerably below an
average, some sort of conception may
be formed of the responsibility that
rests upon those who occupy the land
as producers, to see that all necessary
means shall be employed to insure sue
cess.
In any of the several adverse seasons
Of late years, in which the corn crop
fell much below an average, can any one
point to a single field Of well under
drained land on which, in the season
most unfavorable, it was not practicable
to grow a full crop of corn? And If
this be true, as we verify believe, does
not the single word ''underdrain"
have talismanic meaning, and be-
come the key to a complete solution Of
the whole problem?- Darlington HaUkr

Agricultural Item. A few days ago
Gilhooly was talking with four or five
lawyers, when, during the conversation,
he remarked that lawyers did more to
cultivate the soil than any other class.
How is that?" asked one of the
lawyers. somewhat mystified ''All |
know is, that an Austin lawyer made
my father fork over 800 acres of land in
mighty short order. My father was
holding it under forged title. You
bet he forked over that land. If he
hadn't forked it over, he would have
been in the penitentiary right now. -

LANCASTER, JANUARY /, 1885.
New York,s Sorry Plight.

The mandamus and injunction business
nourishes in new York city in most
wonderful way. A judge can seemingly
be found there to enioin anything and
anybody. The most ridiculous attempt at
exertion of the power has just been ex-
hibited in the effort of certain set of
politicians to prevent the mayor and
board of aldermen from appointing sue
cessors to outside officers whose terms had
expired Mayor Edson's term of Office
expired ON January first and the effort
was to stay action until that time. The
present mayor has been very excellent
official The commissioner of public
works, whom he desired to re-
move, was only excellent as a
politician. The mayor nominated Gen
eral Fitz John Porter to succeed him,
which every one recognizes as a very fit
nomination. Whereupon one of the judges
controlled by the Thompson faction en-
joined the board of aldermen from doing
any business at all, so as to prevent Porter's
confirmation. Another Judge being ap-
Piled to for dissolution of the injunction,
granted it and the aldermen were again
free. The Thompson party had previously
however, set up the pins to knock Porter
out. Apparently they could not hold their
forces, however, for they again applied for
and obtained an injunction restrain
ing the aldermen from confirming any
one in Thompson's place, the ap-
plication being based on an affidavit that
there was about to be corrupt bargain
made for the confirmation of a commits
sioner of public works, which was an un-
lawful act that should be restrained. On
the last day of the year application was
made to to another Judge to discharge the
Injunction but as he did not decide at
once what he would do and there was no
time to be wasted, the aldermen under
advice of counsel that the injunction was
unlawful, confirmed the mayors appointee
to he commissioner of public works.
These judicial proceedings seem to be
very undignified, unworthy and silly to i'm
partial outside observers. They show very
clearly what low manner of men are
placed on the bench in New York
under the elective system. Each
faction relies upon the judges it elects
to help it to keep the power it seizes.
Z Tweed few years ago had set of judges
who aided all his purposes. One would
think that the people of New York
would be tired of such conduct and
that the judges would be afraid to dis
play their partisanship if they are not

legitimate powers. 1t was a prepOsterous
idea to enjoin legislative body from doing
its business, or from electing anyone on the
allegation that there was a corrupt bargain
for the election.
