Tile-Draining and it's Effects.

Tile:Draining and it's Effects.
There is a difference of opinion
concerning the effects of extensive
tile~draining, Some seem to think it
will :diroinish the water supply in a
dry time, others not. Perhaps both
are right, as to their respective loca-
tions. In my own case it extends
the water supply. Across my place
is q sluice-way; or run, about two
rods vide, formerly covered with tall
slough grass, and very wet during the
early part of the season, but dry the
rest of the time, except just after a
heavy rain. The surface-water Of
perhaps 200 acres, passed off through
this run. Now all the little runs
that empty into it are tiled, and the
water flows the entire season, and
makes fine place for stock to drink
in winter as we'll as summer, it being
always open. Even the coldest
weather of this winter did not freeze
it over. There is another little run
near the house where the water
formerly flowed a short time in spring
and after heavy showers. Tie ad-
joining land was tiled, after which
the outlet made fine watering place
for the calves, ,tllongh we had only one

Sand for Hogs.

In common with a great many other
farmers, I have lost hogs by disease;
perhaps it was the so.called hog chol-
era. At times my hogs appeared
restless, and would root for stones to
chew, or dig into stone walls for
mortar. It occurred to me that they
needed something not supplied them.
l thought it might be sand, and gave
them some on trial. They at once
ieased mining for stones and mortar,
seeming satisfied when they had
sufficient food and drink.
A few years ago I had some 60
shoats which manifested discomfort
and desire to root for stones.
partitioned off one end of my hog pen
for bin, by setting up 2 by 4picces.
and ceiling on the bin side, beginning
nearly 4 inches above the floor; a
piece 2 by 4 was fastened to the floor
on the other side. This left space
of 4 inches for sand to work into from
the bin, out OF which the hogs could
get it, without wasting. About Dec.
1st I put 5 loads Of sand into the bin.
mixing with it 20 lbs. salt. lbs .
copperas, and 5 lbs. sulphur. By
April following, the hogs had eaten
the 5 loads of sand, and we're all the
time healthy and contented. Since
then, whenever I have attended to
the supply of sand, salt, etc.. I have
never had a sick or restless hog, if
we'll fed. / do not know that / used
the ingredients Of the mixture in the
proper proportions, but so long as
the hogs are satisfied that is imma-
terial. believe bushel of SCOT to
the ton Of sand would be of much
benefit, but do not think that hogs
need ashes.-Cor. Prairie Farmer.

The Wheat Route.

Considerable amusement is taken in inner
railroad circles over the large amount of
wheat which the Burlington supposes it
will haul to Chicago as soon as it gets into
st. Paul and Minneapolis and makes its
traffic contract with the Manitoba road. 4
certain traffic man looks at the situation i'm
this way:
THE same price is paid for wheat i'm
Duluth as is paid for it in Minneapolis.
The rate from Northwestern points is the
same to Minneapolis as it is to Duluth. but
the rate from Duluth is much less to New
DIRK than it is from Minneapolis TO New
York, and therefore, with equal induce
mentS in the way of prices at Duluth. it is
reasonable that all the wheat for the East
ern market in the raw state will go to
Duluth for shipment. All that will go to
Minneapolis will be the better grade of
wheat. which is TO be milled there. and
the other roads will stand as good =
show as the Burlington for the hauling of
this traffic to Chicago. If the Burlington
and Manitoba roads. so closely connected.
were very DESTROYS of having the wheat 90
to the East via st. Paul, thus cutting Du-
luth, they would have to make rate of %
cents per 100 pounds from Fargo or Moor
head to Chicago, the present rate. Fargo or
MOorhead TO Minneapolis or St. Paul. and
even should they resort to this. which they
surely would not do, they would before they
had one consignment TO Chicago. be cross
cOuntered by the Northern Pacific making
an Scent rate to Duluth from MOolhead or
Fargo, which rate would be the portion the
Manitoba would receive for its haul to Min

Too Low Altogether.

Considerable dissatisfaction is shown by
the Chicago lines at the low rates given
certain jobbers in st. Paul by the Wisconsin
Central over its Green Bay route on con-
signments from the East. The first of the
week fourteen carloads of dry goods were
received by certain iobbing house, and
yesterday the same house received another
consignment of eight carloads, all over the
Wisconsin Central. The business, it is
claimed, was carried at the extremely low
rate of so cents per 100 pounds from New
York. The shipment was made from New
York by the Lackawanna road and the
Ward line of steamers to Green Bay and
from thence to st. Paul by the Central.
Such rate was never before made on first
class goods from New York TO st. Paul.
and traffic men claim il is not railroading TO
make such an unprecedentedly low rate
by any line while its contemporaries
are maintaining tariff. Even though the Wis
consin Central is not a party to any pool or
agreement that would hold it to the adhe-
renee of rates, it should not break all rail-
roadruleS by advertising itself in this man.
ner This rate of 80 cents on first-claSS
goods is just 40 cents less than the rate by
all rail from New York to st. Paul. and
officials of lines in the Northwestern Traffic
association cannot conceive where the profit
for the Wisconsin Central comes in when
carrying goods at this low figure. 1t is a
snap for the rece iyerS of the goods. but il is
demoraliZing to the traffic of the competing
railroads. and there is a probability of the
lines interested in Minnesota and Dakota
traffic, at theirneXt meeting, discussing this
matter to see if they can prevent any more
such indulgence by some traffic agreement

The First Tea Train Arrives.

The first train loaded with tea from the
Dark Isabel, at Tacoma, arrived in st. Paul
yesterday morning at 9:25 o'clock. The
run was made from Tacoma to st. Paul in
1913 hours and % minutes, which time i'll
cludeS two transfers OF cars by ferry in
Oregon. This time was only one day
slower than the time by fast express be-
tween these two points. The train left for
New DIRK at II o'clock as a special over
the Omaha to Chicago, from where it will
go over the Michigan Central and its con-
nections. The train consists of sixteen
ears. and will be taken to New York at
nearly passenger speed, and if the good
luck experienced so far continues. this run
will be the most interesting one ever made
b. a freight train. If the present rate of
speed AT which it is being run is kept up. the
train will be in New York in nine DAYS
from Tacoma. Five other trains are ON the
way, and will arrive at regular intervals.
commencing Sunday morning
1t was Oh Aug. that the ship Isabel.
from Yokohama, Japan, arrived al
Tacoma. w. r., with cargo of %. AS half
chests of Japan tea, consigned to st. Paul,
Chicago and New York This is the first
direct importation Of teas over the North
eIn Pacific road. and not only opens up a
new route for this merchandise, surprising
all others in economy and rapidity of transit,
but makes ST. Paul the primary market for
distributing teas throughout all the Western
and most of the Northern states. ST. Paul
IS the terminus Of the Northern Pacific road.
and the cost Of bringing teas from Japan to
ST. Paul is considerably less than it is to
either Chicago or New York. 1t is learned
that this initial shipment has been sue
cess. and ii is altogether probable that the

Will Build Immediately.

Crawford Livingston returned to st.
Paul yesterday from New York. where he
made all arrangements for Mr.. Merriam and
himself to go ahead with the building of the
James River Valley road, which property
they purchased year ago from Dakota
spectators. While in New York Mr..
Livingston purchased 5000 tons of steel
rails and they are now being shipped TO
Duluth. Mr.. Livingston's contract pro-
videS that they shall all be delivered there
by September Is. While il has been re-
peatedly claimed that they are building the
road III the interests Of the Rock Island and
Northern Pacihc, Mr.. Livingston
emphatically denies the report, say
ing it is an entirely private spec
ulation between himself and Mr.
Merriam. They have no contract of any
kind or traffic arrangement with any rail-
road. They propose. with the assistance of
the various communities through which the
road passes, to build and have their trains
running over the road in time to move this
years crop. The only assistance they ask
from those communities is in securing right
of way and proper terminal facilities in
the different towns, particularly in James
town. The rapidity with which the road
will be completed depends much on the
success in this regard. Considerable en-
enlargement has been received from other
lines and Messrs. Livingston and Merriam
hope to so locate their southern terminus
that it will be reached by the Milwaukee IL
st. Paul, the Chicago & Northwestern and
Chicago d Rock Island roads. thus uniting
North and South Dakota and giving easy
access from all lines of railroads in South
Dakota TO the territorial capital.
