GOOD FOR THE FARMERS

Ditching and understanding by tile,
laying is becoming popular, and is re-
sorted to where the expense can be af.
forded. 1t is estimated by the Secre.
tary Of the State Board of Agriculture

culturists. 1t is said to do the work of

from 5 to s cents per rod. The second
machine is new one, which cut four
feet deep and rod long in about three
minutes. 1t did its work well, and

The forest fires which ragged for sew

the northern part of this state were
more destructive to property than any
which have heretofore visited that part
of the state. The excessive dry wealth

especially suffered immense damage.

fiery flames were seen to reach to the
tops of the tall pines. New villages
have sprung up in the woods in north
