Cheap Excursion to Montreal.

The ever popular Cincinnati Hamil-
ton & Dayton r. R., in connection
with the Canadian Pacific railway, will
run grand excursion to Montreal and
Quebec, via Detroit and Ottawa, Leav-
ing Cincinnati and indianapolis, Thurs

rates. The rate from Cincinnati or In
dianapolis to Montreal and return will
be Sl2,50, and but $500 for the round
trip to the picturesque and historic Que
bee. The tickets will be good return
ing until September 2S, making an in
teresting and cheap twenty days out
ing. The trains will run solid with
sleeping-cars, chair cars and coaches

together. Stakes should be driven at
eachaside, and the tops tied together
to prevent untwisting. That in Fig. )
is quickly made, but care must be
taken not to make the loop too small.
In Fig. 6, an iron rod, or tough round
wooden stick, three-quarters of an inch
in diameter, is placed upright, and the
sprouts are twisted about it. At the
top strip of board with three holes in
it is placed at the point shown in the
illustration. Other forms of growth
can be obtained, but the foregoing are
the simplest, and are easily produced.
If tied low, the form in Fig. 8 will give
an excellent rest, and is one of the
most desirable shapes shown, for if
one of the trees should die, the one re-
naming will still serve its purpose and
furnish good seats. Penter, in

DRAINAGE PIPES
What Prof. Chamberlain Considers the
Rest Mode of Draining.

The best material for drain pipe is
round or cylindrical tile, without col
lars or joints. As to the merits of soft
and hard Tor glazed tiles, there is but
very little difference. The latter are
not so likely to crack and flake where
exposed TO the frost, as at outlets. The
water goes in through the joints, and
not through pores of the tile as some
suppose. Each tile should be rejected
that does not show clear red color
and give a metallic ring when struck
with hammer. Most authorities have
advised them too small. The tendency
in this country is now toward larger
tiles, and that is simply because they
are needed. Even the two-inch tiles are
becoming scarce. The tiles used should
be large enough not only to carry off
all extra water in short timc-and
the sooner the better-but also 10 pro-
vide for cases of emergency. For sizes
from three to six inches and grades less
than three feet to the hundred, good
rule for finding the number of acres
any tile will drain is to square the di-
ameter and divide by four. For exam
pie, for every 500 feet: A 3-inch pipe
will drain ~ acres; 4-inch main will
drain acres; b-inch main will drain
I! acres; 6-inch main will drain 9
acres. For sleeper grades than three
feet to the hundred, it may be di-
vided by three. Have the mains
large enough to take the water
as fast as the soil can filter it and the
laterals collect it. A depth of four feet
may do very well for the deep loamy
soil of the western prairie, but for the
compact clayey soil of Ohio depth 81
"a feet is quite sufficient. Where the
tiles are placed shallow the drains can
be closer together. The minimum
depth should be two feet. But it must
be remembered that the filtration il
less, and the consequent loss of manure
or fertilizing material greater. For
horticultural purposes they should bd
% feet, and in loamy soil they may ba
four or five rods apart. Hand work,
with hand tools, is decidedly best. Tho
| first implement to use is a two horse
pillow. First cut deep with the pillow, in
the fall; then the light SHOWS will pre-
vent freezing Thus the workman may
keep busy nearly all winter, and the
ditch may be worked while the surface
of the ground is frozen. Ii ditching is
done in the winter the work should be
commenced at the outlet and continued
back upward. The same process should
b. observed at any time when the
ground is saturated with water and it
is ready to run off through the ditch.
But in commencing at the lower end to
place the tile, great caution should be
observed in keeping mud or dirt from
passing into the drain. and each even
ing it should be well stopped at its
upper end with bunch of grass or
hay.-From lecture by w. l. Chamber
lain, before meeting at the Ohio State
University.

Low Rate Harvest Excursions.

Tho announcement that the North w estern
Line, comprising over 5000 miles OF thor
oughly equipped railway, has arranged torun
two low rate Harvest Excursions during the
months of August and September, will be
gladly received by those who are interested
in the development of the great West and

to visit this wonderfully productive region
at a season of the year when exact demon-
stration can be made of the merits and ad-
vantages it offers to home seekers and those

by bending the stem over frame, or

But the best theory of making money
from cotton growing is the reduction Of
every penny of expense between the
grower and the actual consumer to its
lowest 1.-THE, the grower participating in
the profit accruing from such economy.
Get the mill as close as posi-
BILE to the field, and let the grower have
shares in its ownership, thereby turning
to his wealth every cent which the cotton
is capable of earning.
There is plenty of cash in Terrell
county to build such a mill, if it can be
drawn together. If there were not our
farmers could, by the pledge of SO many
bales of cotton, create basis Of credit
for the building and equipping of such
mill. With 20 to % per cent. dividends
accredited annually to the mills in some
of the towns near by, and the stock al
most current as bank bills, we have the
proof that Dawson would be a good
place to manufacture cotton.

SPIN your COTTON

Cotton continues to droop in price,
while its fabric of the loom holds up to
a standard value, and well-managed
mills pay happy dividends to their stock
holders.
The man who makes money is the one
who places his investments in the
schemes which are capable of turning
out profits.
The man who talks about the southern
farmer abandoning his cotton crop is a
fool or a scheming william. Policy, in
dependence, and good management die
tates that every farmer should come as
near supplying every food demand of his
home as the conditions and ma
ture of farm VIII justify, and that he
should look keenly to every side crop
which promises mid-season income from
local markets; but cotton is the only
crop which neither moth, mildew or
weevil destroys, and which the four
quarters OF the globe give uninterrupted
shipping to. 1t is i'll the south's cotton
crop, yet barely developed into one

NEGRO SCHOOLS.

Since the free term has begun the ne
gro schools warm with pupils. A ride
into the country in almost any direction
will prove this. However slow the ne
gro may be on other questions, he is fully
awake to the impol lance of education.
The Waynesboro True Citizen says:
HE attends school daily under condi-
tons almost impossible to the whites.
He can go to school and live on less than
native of India. Beside him he is wine
biber and glutton. With a meatskin
and a few blackberries he is ready for
his days tussle with his books. Under
similar conditions white child must be
thin for his blood. AS we'll nigh all the
professions are closed to the graduates
of the negro colleges, they nearly all go
to teaching or preaching. And as there
are not beaver hats and long tailed coats
enough to go around them as preachers,
hundreds of them have gone to teaching
With these conditions meeting-educated
men wanting to teach and ignorant chill
dren who are almost able to live on wind
and water, wanting to be taught, they
have bright prospect for a good educa-
ton. To this no one objects. 1t is
their own busin ess, and they are expect
ed to do the best they can for them
saves.
But when we remember that they pay
into the state treasury for all purposes
only $4,000 and yet draw out for school
purposes alone S250,000, it is not hard to
see who is paying for his education.
While the whites are willing to help him,
still this seems hardly fair, and especial
ly so when the white illiteracy of Georgia
is SO great
eve believe in the whites aiding the
negroes in the matter of education, but
if our money has to pay for their educa-
ton why not educate them in our own
way. They ought to be educa
ted into sympathy with southern people
and southern ways, They ought to be
instructed to look at things ,fron
our point of view, and there is no way
to do 1t except by having them laugh

How Ancients Squared the Circle.

The rule given by Ahmes requires that
the diameter of circle shall be short
ened by one-ninth, and a square erected
upon this shortened line. The area of
such square approximates the area of
the circle, but, of course, is not exact,
and is not even as close a result as that
at which other geometricians have ar
rived
The Babylonians, who were also great
mathematicians, had a solution, to which
a reference in the Talmud has been
traced. The Babylonian method, how
ever, was not quadrature, but recti-
