Under Draining

There is more or less fertilizing ma
terial in rain and snow. One of the
principle advantages of under drain
ing over surface drainage is, much
larger per cent. Of fertilization IS re-
tanned in the soil. With surface
drainage good portion Of this is
lost, while in bard beating rains not
only is large per cent. of what is in
the water carried of, but more or less
what is already in the soil and near
the surface is carried off.
With under drainage the water is
strained 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
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 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 differ
ence in the cost is small item COM
pared with the better and sure re-.
suits secured. The difference in cost
is only the difference in the price of
the tiles, as the cost of laying is prac-
tically the same.
In August and September is a 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 advantages more than over
balance 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 thoroughly

Closer wa7s of doing business be-

With the sharp competition prevail
ing no one can even meet expenses

who have money invested in business
for employees TO squander time in out
side conversation or gossip. 1t i;

time of the person to whom You speak
and keeps them from profitable en-

Hundreds of letters of recommen-

the solicitors. But every letter Of this
kind that is given to an unworthy OBJ
ject is an offense against society.
Whoever cOmmends, over his own
signature, an individual whom he
does not know, must be considered
morally responsible for the wrongs

English Doors.

The Methodist Ecumenical Council
at Washington took up and discussed
with the characteristic earnestness
and directness of their sect many top
les of vital importance not only to
their'own denomination but to the
world at large. Questions of church
unity, of labor, of education, of mis-
sions, of temperance, of observance of
the Sabbath, aud of Romanism, were
treated by able men in carefully IRE
pared papers and in impromptu de-
bate. No question in dogmatic the
ology caused friction, and there was
reasonable unanimity in regard TO
philanthropic and social reforms in
which the church takes an interest.
Whatever trouble arose seemed to be
caused by the obstinacy and boorish-
ness of two or three of the English
delegates, the most notable offender
being Mr.. Atkinson who is a menu
Der of the British parliament, who
managed to get the convention into a
snarl several times. If he was inter-
rupted he called upon the moderator
to ''knock down" the offender, and if
he attempted to apologize he made
things worse every time. Some of
the other delegates from England
tried TO explain for him that the En-
glish methods of procedure differed
from the American, and that to "knock
down" was only to rap for order.
But we do not believe that English
gentlemen are in the habit of using
such rough language, nor do we think
that Mr.. Atkinson would venture
to use it in parliament. Rev. Dr..
Abercrombie, also of England, stirred
up hornets nest by quoting from an
old hymn,
=Into a world Of Tuniians sent,
walk on hostile ground"
This quotation was made as if APP
plicable to slight disagreement that
arose in regard to right to the floor.
Instead of Quieting the disturbance,
it was followed by scene of great
confusion and disorder, as he must
have known it would be. But lie
had the grace to apologize the next
day. This carelessness in regard 10
the feelings of their people seems to be
a characteristic of underbred English
men. When delegates 10 international
conferences are selected it is best TO
keep this sort at home.

If wood pigeons were as plentiful
in this country as they were in some
parts of Scotland in past years, we
could get OH with less spring chicken.
In Scotland, where the wood pigeon
was extremely rare at the end of last
century, it now swarms to a most in
furious extent, and its ravages among
the crops are of most serious nature.
Congregating in countless flocks in
the stubbles, they forage there until
the grain is exhausted, when they at
tack the leaves of the young winter
wheat, Swede turnips and red clover,
the latter, when not killed, often suf-
fering most from the ravages inflicted
on it. The United East Lothian Ag-
ricultural Society, in the course of
about seven years, paid head tax on
wood pigeons at the rate of Id to I'd
per head, and Id for each pair of eggs,
and in the time given 100, 40 pigeons
were paid for at these prices. That
was twenty years ago, and the expen-
diture in no way diminished the num-
bers in this country. Since 1870,
however, they have gradually de-
creased, although for the past few
years no price has been put on their
destruction Elk.

Long Flights of Petrels.

When true ocean ocean birds, like
petrels, are found scattered inland,
dead or dying, as has been the case
during the past month, we may safely
infer that the weather from side to
side of the Atlantic has borne hardly
not only on the ships, but on the
friendly birds that love to follw them.
Perhaps the strangest instance of
the forced wanderings of petrol was
that which brought one of the last
known members of an extinct, OF at
any rate lost species, the capped
petrol. whose only home appears to
have been the islands of st. Domingo
and Guadalupe, from the West India
seas to Norfolk heath.
In March or April, 1850, a bird
was seen by boy On a heath in
Southacre, in Norfolk, tapping from
one furze bush to another, until it
crept into one, and was there caught
by him. Exhausted as it was it vio-
lently bit his hand, and he thereupon
killed 1t.
A Mr.. Newcome, one of a race of
falconers, happened TO be hawking in
the neighborhood, and his falconer,
seeing the boy with the dead bird,
brought 1t to his master, by whom it
was skinned and stuffed. and placed
in the Newcome collection, where it
still remains. 1t was large bird,
about 16 inches in length, with the
long curved wings characteristic of
all the petrels, and black head, as
its name indicates.
Only two other instances of the
capped petrel's appearance in Europe
are known. One was shot near
Boulogne. and one in Hungary in
1870, which is in the Museum Of
Buda-Pesth. Two others have been
taken in the United States. But the
strangest part of the story is that the
capped petrels are now either extinct
or lost to the knowledge of man.
at is certain" says Mr.. Stevenson
in his last and unfinished volume of
"The>Birds of Norfolk" that the true
home of this very rare species is or
was in the islands of Guadalupe and
Dominica in the West Indies, where
it was formerly very abundant; but
one of its old breeding places in the
last named of these islands was ex-
plored without finding a single bird
in February, 1887, by Col. Ficklen."
1t appears that ten years before, not
only Dominica, but also Guadalupe
was searched in vain for the "Diablo-
tins" the name by which these petrsls
were known TO the old vOyagers. 1t
is believed that they were possibly de-
stroyed by South American opos-
sum which was introduced to the is
land but as the young and even the
young and even the old birds were
constantly caught by the islanders
for food in the holes in which they
nested, their destruction may be due,
like that of the great aux, to human
greediness.
