Under Draining.

l was conversing with farmer re-
Gently about understanding In the
course of our conversation, he re-
marked that he did not believe in the
theory advanced by some that q sand
knoll could be made fertile by under
draining. Said he: 81 cannot under
stand why or how crop planted on
a sloping hill, and already suffering
from drought, can be made to -four
ish by under draining. Is it not al
ready too dry?''
Now this reasoning seems conclu-
sive, but it leads to an egregious en-
ror. Does not the farmer know, as
he stands deploring the loss of that
perishing crop that he is surrounded
as far as the eye can see, with mill
ions and millions of hogsheads of
water, ready at his bidding 10 irri-
gate and nourish his land. A large
proportion of all air is water, no mat
ter how hot and dry it seems to be.
Does he wish to provide moisture for
his suffering plants? All he has to
do then is to let the air come in con-
tact with the cool earth beneath the
surface, and the water, of which the
air is composed. instantly condenses
or ''settles" in the earth, and is at
once appropriated in part by the
spongioles or small roots, for the
sustenance of the plant, while the
surplus reaches the drain and creates
a space for more air to enter and
give forth more moisture, and so on
continually. The same process and
reasoning applies equally to high
lands or low, fat or hilly.
The principle underlying the whole
operation may be seen and under
stood by any one trying the follow
ing experiment. The one point is to
remember that the air is largely
composed of water. Fill a pitcher
or glass two-thirds full of water
from a well, and set upon a table,
on a dry and hot summer day. Very
soon you will notice drops Of water
trickling down the outside of the
glass. Some persons, from lack of
knowledge or consideration, believe
the water has actually penetrated
the pores of the glass. But this is
not the case. The surrounding at
mosphere has met substance cooler
than itself, and obeying the immuta-
bic law of nature, instantly parts
with the fluid element of which it is
composed.
And this is the great secret which
always seems hidden, why hoeing
and blowing benefit crops-pulveri-
cations Of the earth permitting the
air to enter and deposit its moisture
at their roots, the WITHDRAWING IA
cilitating the process a thousand
fold.
Every farm contains more or less
land that would be greatly benefited
by under draining, and August is u.s.
ually that most favorable month for
that work. The wettest land is
generally the richest land, but the
full benefit of it's rich stores of fer
tility are locked up by beng saturat-
ed with stagnant water. The swamp
land and meadows if drained would
become the richest and most product
i've of any of the land on the farm.
The quality of the grass could be
improved from 'swaiP' and "mead-
ow'' grass to good English grass.

Dyspepsia


Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction Distress after eating, sick head

digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:

The difficulty in selling fattened
COWS arises mainly from trying to
dispose Of them at the time of year
when the market is glutted with beef
All know that butchers do not like to
handle cow beef. But during May,
June and July most of the Winter
fattened stock has been worked off.
and the market is bare. The farmer
who has MIXED and fed literally a
mich cow until the other cows came
in call in April, will have her in good
order for feeding when turned out to
grass. Continue the grain feed five
or six weeks, and as soon as the milk
ing is stopped the cow will fatten
rapidly and make sweet, tender beef.
This is a great deal better than SELL
ing the cow thin in flesh in the fall
for a song. A farrow COW we'll fed
will more than pay her way during
the Winter, besides making a good
heap of valuable manure. The ex-
ira feeding while being MIXED gives
such vigor to the digestive organs
that old cows when dried off after
such an experience will fatten very
rapidly. This quick fattening is the
secret of making good and tender
beef.

Rheumatism.

PEING due to the presence of uric
- acid in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, L saw by an advertise
ment in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers SarSaparilla. / then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cure. have since had no re-
turn of the disease. Mrs, r.. Irving

Wood Ashes as a Manure.

Genuine hard wood ashes is one
of the most valuable fertilizers that a
farmer can use. They attract mois-
ture; and they soon dissolve the
fibrous substances in the earth, and
make them nourishment for plants.
If sown broadcast the effects may
not be seen in the immediate crop,
but they will be permanent, and a
crop of grass or grain will feel the
influence of the ashes several years
afterward. For wheat it has been
recommended to use ashes mixed
with plaster; for grass, ashes may be
used as a top dressing. 1t is stated
as much as 200 bushels per acre
have been thus used with the most
beneficial results. For potatoes and
corn, the ashes should be put into
hills. There is hardly plant which
does not contain one or the other of
the elements of hard wood ashes.
There is a great difference in ashes,
depending both on the wood and the
soil from which the tree grew.
Beech wood is probably the richest in
potash, though elm is about the
same. If the tree grew on a soil
rich in potash, that element will be
in a greater proportion, while if
grown near the seashore where soda
is in the soil, alkali takes the place
of the potash to some extent. A
valuable substitute for ashes may
be made from German potash salt,
by mixing it with rich earth woods
mould. One hundred pounds mixed
with 2,400 pounds fresh-bnrned lime
and 400 pounds of woods earth, will
make about as valuable manure as
the average hard wood ashes.
