ABOUT UNDER DRAINAGE.
How to Preserve the Fertilizing Materi
AIS in Rain and Snow.

How to Preserve the FertilizinS Materi-
AIS in Rain and Snow.
There is more or less fertiliZing ma
terial in rain and snow. One of the
principal advantages of under draining
over surface drainage is, a much larger
per cent. of fertilization is retained in
the soil. With surface drainage a good
portion of this is lost, while in hard
beating rains not only is large per
cent. of what is in the water carried
off, but more or less what is already in
the soil and near the surface is carried
off.
With under drainage the water is
strained through the soil and much of
this matter is retained therein, large
per cent. of which is soluble, and
hence available for use by the growing
plants.
OF course much depends upon how
the work is done. improper drainage
is of little or no advantage, and may be
an injury rather than a benefit The
work should be carefully planned.
One item of Importance is to secure a
good outlet for the mains. Then Sc
cure gradual fall, not only of the
main drains, but also of the laterals.
Put the tile at least three feet below
the surface, and thus safe from frost.
Use good-sized drains. The difference
in cost is a small item compared with
the better and sure results secured.
The difference in cost is only the diff
ference in the price of the tiles, as the
cost of laying is practically the same.
In August and September is good
time to dig the drains and lay the tile
There is usually time for this during
these months. The soil is generally
dry at this time. and while the digging
may be somewhat harder the other adj
vantages more than overbalance this.
A good way to begin is to drain the
low places first, and then work back to
the higher grounds; but whatever is
done it will pay to take time and do the
work thorough ly.-Prairie Farmer.

Quality Makes the Price.

Make it point to have your poultry
of the best quality before shipping to
market. One who is not accustomed
to visiting the large markets knows
nothing of the enormous amount of in
ferior poultry that is sold, and which
largely affects the prices: yet there is
always a demand for that which is
good, and at a price above the regular
quotations. The asserting of the car
cases before shipping also leads to
better prices. Old oysters (which sell
dom sell at more than half price, should
not be in the same boxes or barrels
with better stock; and to ship poultry
alive, and have ROSTERS in the coop
with fat hens, is simply to lower the
price of the hens, as the buyer will es-
innate the value by the presence of the
inferior stock. In fact. never send any
poultry to market unless in first-class
and under no circumstances
ship the inferior with that which is bet
ter-Farm and Fireside.

referred to by our correspondent that
prices had advanced from 80 to 35 per

ceive her. The changes that have taken
place in the carpet market indicate no
more than normal fluctuations in trade,
except so far as they have been caused
by the increase that was made in the
duties on carpet woods. and about which
there was good deal of difference of
opinion. Even these duties, however,

new method of training hedges is meet

to pillow and manure the strip of ground
heavily where the hedge is to be
planted. Usage orange sprouts of a

inches apart, and the ground kept mel

braided on fiat sinuous iron fencing

inches from the ground. The next
growth of sprouts of course grows
straight up, and the second season an
other of the rods is fastened in the
same way, and likewise the third. A
hedge of this kind was planted three
years ago in this place and now is COM

be hard to find. The growth is from

Chief Justice Horton destroyed this
by citing decision of the supreme

the court had reached decision. He

Considerable Decreases in Missouri and
Kansas and an Increase In Nebraska.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 4-Brad-
streets reports for the first six months
of the present year show some surpris-
ing and encouraging facts for Kansas
and Missouri Mr.. Halbert Houghton,
superintendent of Bradstreet's agency
in this city, was struck by the figures
shown by a comparison of the business
failures in different states in 1891 with
the failures in 1890. The number of
failures, Mr.. Houghton says, is un-
questionably true index of the stabil-
ity and prosperity of state. Few
failures mean good crops, good prices
and general confidence. Many failures
mean just the opposite.
The remarkable feature in the COM
-parison of Kansas and Missouri with
other states in the matter of increase or
decrease of failures is that these two
states not only show up better than
those further east or north, but make
much better showing than the other
western states.
For the first six months of 1891 Mis-
souri, had $50 failures against 2l0 for the
corresponding period in 1890. This was
a decrease of Is per cent In other
words there were one-fourth more fail
ures in the first six months of 1890 than
in 1891. In Kansas there were 173 fall
ures in 1890 and 100 in 1891. Here is al
so a good decrease of misfortune. Ne
braska shows up on the other side of
the line. In 1890 there were 1SS fail
ures and in 1891 there were 2S3.
ALI these figures are for the first
six months of the year mentioned Ne
braska, therefore. shows an increase of
over 100 per cent in the mum Der of fail
ures These figures are given without
. comparison of the mum Der of business
houses in the several states, but when
it is remembered that Missouri has A.
900 names, Kansas IS. 700 and Nebraska
10. 400 it is seen that the proportion of
successful business enterprises is still
greater in Kansas and Missouri Texas,
with her 2S, 800 names, had 252 failures
in 1891 and 179 in 1890, showing a big
increase in that state also. Colorado
had 95 failures in 1891. against Sc fall
ures in 1890. Iowa had 1919 in 1891
against us in 1890. Utah had 81 in 1891
and in 1890.
