One Way of Avoiding Lawsuits and Hard
Eeellnn Annnn Nninhhnra-

One Way of Avoiding Lawsults and Hard
Feeling Among NeiRhbors.
Suppose A and b own adjoining
farms. AS land being higher than BIS,
the surplus water Of AS land will run
onto BIS land. What effect will IL have
on BIS land If A underdrains his?
All the water that falls on AS land in
n year is needed on the farm, II 1t could
be properly utilized; but at times there
is more water than can soak into the
ground, and the surplus must run off
onto other land. It Is estimated that
one foot of underdrained land will hold
one inch of water so, II land is under
drained two feet deep, it will hold two
inches of rain, and we very seldom get
more than that in twenty-four hours.
Now, If A drains his land it will become
porous, and will hold about all the
water that falls upon his land during
the summer season, and will be taken
up by the growing crop. The only
| time B gets as much water as he did
before is when the ground is frozen, or
in the winter, when all vegetation is
dormant and the water not needed.
Then the water seeks the tile and will
run off. After the land is properly
| drained the ground will not freeze as
| deep US it did before, from the fact that
the air enters at the outlet and will
pass to the upper end of the drain
| and become of the same temper
ature as the surrounding earth,
which is above freezing, and con-
sequently will rise and warm the
ground to the top. For this reason, the
tile at the lower end of the drain should
be hard enough to withstand the frost,
as the cold air that enters will freeze
every thing solid for a good ways, no
matter how deep under ground. Ihave
noticed that fact in coal banks that are
entered by drift or entry the
entry will be frozen solid considera-
BILE distance, even if fifty feet under the
surface, The air as it passes in will
get warmer and finally pass out through
the air shaft that all banks must be
| supplied with, and the colder the
weather the stronger the current.
l have frequently seen where B sued
A for damages for flooding him by under
draining, but as yet not seen that
he got any damages. 1 think he would
stand better chance by trying to get
damages for drying him up, In my i'm
mediate neighborhood are two adjoin-
ing farms. The upper farm has a swamp
on it, the water of which flows over the
lower farm. Some thirty-fve years ago
the owners got into law about it. The
result was that they had to sell the
farms to pay the costs and the swamp
was not drained. It has been partially
| drained since, but not to do any good.
Now the present owners instead of GO
ing to law and following in 'the foot
steps of their illustrious predecessors, !"
did as men ought to do; they agreed
among themselves that each should do
certain part of the work, and put in a
twelve-inch sewer pipe, which will
drain the swamp and not injure the
lower land. Less than one hundred
dollars will be required to do the work.

Large and Double-xelked Eggs.

1t is seldom that a double-yellSed egg
will hatch, though instances have been
known in which such eggs have pro-
duced chicks. When double-yell1ed eggs
are found, it is to be regretted, as they
invariably indicate that the hens are
out of condition-too fat. A hen in
good laying condition will never pro
duce an egg other than of the normal
size peculiar to her breed, and if fat,
she is entirely untitled for laying. If a
fat hen is killed she will be found full
of eggs, so to speak, but they will be
noticed to be of all sizes, and the poul-
tryman will be amazed over the fact
that she did not lay; but examination
will show that Instructions of fat were
the cause, and the hen is then more
profitable dead than when alive.-Farm

DIsMFECrINa THE SICK ROOM.

''Clothes- can be thoroughly disin-
fected by boiling for half an hour in
water. IF the heated water is not at
hand, the clothes should be immersed in
a solution containing one dram to the
gallon of corrosive sublimate (mercuric
chloride), or one ounce to a gallon of
pure carbolic acid, care being taken not
to place the mercuric chloride solution
in metal vessels, but rather in wooden
tub or earthen crock. This method does
not apply to clothing or bedding which
cannot be washed; this can only be
properly disinfected by being subjected
to superheated steam in a suitable steam
disinfecting apparatus.
"The general plan employed In disin-
fection of the atmosphere, together with
the surroundings in the room, is by means
of sulphurous acid gas, secured by the
combustion of sulphur. The sulphur, in
powder or small fragments, is placed in
a shallow iron pan about three pounds
for each 1000 cubic feet of air space).

AFTER the room has been thoroughly
fumigated the walls should then be

ADVERTISING PAYS.

Judicious advertising always pays
Successful business men admit that
they owe their success largely to a sys--
ten1atic use of printers ink. Every
merchant should devote a certain per
centage of profits to advertising for if
j4diciously invested it will yield q good
return. Some merchants decline to ad-
vertise because they cannot afford to
make as large spread as their neigh
bors and competitors. This is grave
mistake whether made by wholesale
or retail dealer and one sooner or later
will result in loss if not failure for.
He who in this busy age would thrive
Must read the papers and advertise.
