Tile Drainage.

Some writers have attributed the
lowering of the water level to tile drain
age, but it has had but little il anything
to do as procuring cause. To the con
trary, says The Drainage Journal. deep
undertakings serves to hold back the
water, for without undertakings the
compact surface, with open drains along
the roadways and unobStructed natural
outlets for the water, ca uses IL to flow
away rapidly. With deep underdrains
the open. porous soil will take mp the
water of all ordinary rains as 1t falls and
pass it down to the drain the SOIL sub
soil and under stratas taking up Il large
proportion of the water, permitting only
the excess to pass ont through the tile
drains. The soil from the surface down
to the drain will absorb water TO the
point of saturation.
The amount of water required to wet
the soil depends upon the character of
the SOIL the finer soils absorbing the
greater quantity. If the underdrain is
deep-three or four feet-it is evident
that "A heavy rainfall will be required to
wet the soil down to the drain. II is
true also that after the rainfall the sur
face soil will first be relieved Of any ex-
cess of water, so on slowly down to the
drain; the water flowing in from the
sides of the drain necessarily prevents a
rapid lowering of the water level So
in fact, the thorough undertakings Of
the soil serves to hold back the water
when compared to the surface flow
Where the undertakings is sufficient to
pass the water of an ordinary rainfall
down through the soil to depth of three
or four feet, the drains will run water
long after the open drains and small
natural outlets for surface drainage have
run dry.

One word in regard to the alleged
danger of the fast train. 1t is most
emphatically untrue that it is more
dangerous than other trains. Those
familiar with the subject will agree
that the very reverse is the case. AS
an eminent English authority writes,
with picked engineers, trainmen
and fremen, with the best and new
est rolling stock and the most perfect
engines the company possesses, with
every signalman and flagman all
down the line on the qui vive, it is
difficult to see where there comes in
any special source of danger"
And in addition to this, it must be
remembered that fast trains, such as
are now being run on many roads in
this country, would be simply i'm
possible without the vigorous disci-
pline, the constant energy, the keen.

Women Are Good Customer

The custom of keeping bank &C
counts has increased with surprising
rapidity among the women of New
York with the last five years.
There are two banks-the Lincoln
national and the Fifth avenue
which have upward of 1900 women
depositors each, and special facilities
are enjoyed by women in these two
banks. Important alterations are
now being made in the internal ar
rangement of the Lincoln bank in or
der to give better accommodations
to the female customers. General
Thomas L. James, president of the
bank, said that of the So, 633, 600 Of
deposits then on hand fully 81, 900, :
900 stood to the credit of women.
When asked how the women in gen
eral managed their accounts, Mr..
James said that they were more
methodical and more careful than
the men. They kept their books
written up more closely than the
men and never attempted to over
draw their accounts. They are the

Swine Breeding.

The rapidity with which pigs can be
propagated is a strong argument in
favor of swine breeding. Swine breed
ing, however, requires good manage
ment to bring about really profitable re-
suits The grower who counts successes
while his neighbors are sorrowing over
failures always manages to have stock
to sell when there is demand FORT he
never wants to buy at the same time
that all his neighbors are wanting to
buy.
1 There is an old maxim, Breed when
prices are low" It is good one, but
better one, so far as my experience goes,
is Breed always" In following the
latter maxim, however, one must also,
especially with swine, 'sbreed well. !"
Swine deteriorate more quickly than do
other stock, hence the great Importance
of introducing from time to time fresh
and improved blood. A comparatively
short period of negligence and the snout
elongates, the compact form attenuates
and fattening properties deteriorate, as
witness stock turned adrift to be main
tanned on the mast found in the woods.

Tobacco Curing.

| A tobacco barn should be weather
proof and so ventilated that free cir
culation of air can be secured where de-
sired. Attention is called in a Connecti-
cut station report to the fact that the
curing of tobacco is not SO much a
process of drying as of fermentation,
and that it is therefore desirable to es-
tablish conditions which will promote
those chemical changes which produce
the best quality of cured tobacco. The
merits of the use of artificial heat in
curing tobacco are discussed, with the
conclusion: "To aid the process of fer
mentation when other conditions are
iunfavorable, and to establish within the
barn at critical periods conditions which
shall prevent the occurrence of pole
burn are tie only uses for artificial
heat in this connection" The stem rot,
which often injuries tobacco in the later
stages Of curing, is caused by fungus.
The thorough cleansing Of the curing
barn and the destruction of all refuse
are the best end simplest precautions.
Fumigation with sulphur is recommend
ed as an effectual means Of destro, ing
