pressed. He sat almost immovable ia
his saddle, and his light gray eyes
were sternly meditative. Greene, and
Putnam, and Lee, were with him, and
a dozen young aids-de-camp and adju-
tants.
Every soldier lifted his hat and gave
a hearty cheer as this party of horse
men passed along. They all loved that
grave, majestic man, and would have
charged a British column even then,
led by his inspiring presence.
What have we here?" inquired the
pater pat'ir, reigning in his great steed
in front of the team of steers, that
were disposed just then to be a little

his excitement that Washington's voice
was hoarse and that he placed the

WHAT HAVE WE HERE 2"

Remember, these are for Gen. Wash
ington and his officers" said the
matron, as she deposited her burdens
upon the sled. Here are six chickens,
four loaves of bread, couple of pies,
and two bottles of grape jelly. Tell
him it's the gift of the women of
America to the brave defender of their
homes. Tell him that, Gideon, and
hasten back as soon as you can, for l
shall worry about you all day. Here,
each of you drink a cup of this hot
sage tea 1t will be good for you"
The lads slipped the hot drink out of
blue, earthen cups that Belonged to a
set of Grandmother Andrews, older
than the first fight of the old French
war.
1T is good" declared Bert, wiping
his lips with his mitten. But I
wouldn't have drank British tea any,

They started down the road, Mrs.
Granger watching them till they
passed a ''bend," when she reentered
the house with sigh. The two boys
walked beside their team in rather q
solemn mood. The yearlings were

something to eat" said Gideon.
''And clothes to wear, especially
such weather as this" .assented Bert,
shaping his hands violently several
times to start the circulation.
The dark, solemn evergreens of Val
ley Forge came in view by noon, and
by and by the lads could trace the
smoke wreaths rising from many a
campfire amid the dark foliage. There
was the encampment of the patriot
host. Would they see Washington him.

upper end of the drain. Z We do not
want three or four grades to the same
line OF drain unless change from a
higher to q lower, from the outlet to
the upper end or vice versa What we
mean Is this: Say there are four
sections of the ditch. We do not want
ten-inch fall for the first section;
fifteen for: the next, twelve for the
third, and some other for the fourth.
but would rather have Is, IL, 10, etc. ,
this gives free flow for all sections.
When we have the grade for the
whole length of the drain, we drive
stakes for each section. We often cut
the first spade before taking the grade.
When this is done we set the stakes az
near the drain as we can to have them
stand firm. Calculations are made
and the stakes driven SO that a line
stretched on their tops will represent
the grade of the ditch when ready for
the tile. These stakes we want to
stand ~ to 8 feet high, as this is the
most convenient height for the work
men. Between the 10O-foot stations
we set another stake in lire, as we find
it hard to get tile slack out of 100 feet
of line, no difference how tightly
drawn. When we have our stakes and
line ready, we make guag to meas.
ure from line to the bottom of the
drain. This guage may be made of any
light lumber. We have used, recently,
Stats sawn for fence pickets, one-half
inch by two inches, six feet long for
the upright To this we nail lighter
piece at right angles; this piece should
be at least 1s inches long, and nailed
on so that when the upright is standing
perpendicularly in the bottom of the
drain, the arm will pass under the line.
Gig. shows the guage, B, without
the army. For a line, the kind used BY
masons will be found the best al.
though any strong, light cord will
answer; if too heavy, the wind will
sometimes affect it too much.
When we have these all ready, be.
fore we commence work, we hang q
weight &C, Fig. y on the line above
the second stake. This will keep the
slack out of the line much better than
it can be kept out by drawing it tight
at the end. On reaching this stake
the workman changes the weight tc
the other side of the stake. We usu.
ally stretch the line for one station al
time. With the gauge and line, q

soil, which is Of uneven formation, we
find it necessary to use this arrange
ment to secure perfect grade. Some.
thing after this style was used in thing
the Michigan agricultural college farm
lands, where the quicksand was 20
bad that but two pieces of tile could
be laid at time. With its use we
know the grade remains as we wish it,

Z Seldom is complaint made of a too
generous return from the land. Judging,
aowever, by the reports from across the
line the Canadians in the prairie prov.
noes had this year such an abundant
.rop that they could with difficulty han
lie it, and in some instances contented
themselves for the present with market
ng only the choicest Of their fields.
They may be envied by some, but no
nan grudges them their good fortune,
or the same advantages which they
possess are open to all who choose to
wall themselves of the opportunity to
possess q share of the land that is so
fruitful. And whether on one side of
he line or the other it is all adding to
The wealth of the American Continent.
Andthey exhibit no churlishness in the
natter, come one come all is the princi-
pie that actuates them in the distribu-
ion of their lands. They ask no ques-
ions about mans nationality or opin-
ons. If he wants land he is free to
AXE it, without money and without
price. 1t is enough for them that he
wishes, rs they do, to enjoy his home,
make enough money and join with them
n educating the children and providing
Tor the family. And they have such a
wealth of the most fertile land in the
world they are only anxious that the
newcomer should make a good selection
md become prosperous. And their gov
srnment and railway companies have
;aken care that he shall make no mis-
lake If they can prevent it. Careful
snrveys have been made even of the
aew districts so that an incomer may in
Winnipeg learn as much concerning
my specified section as if he were on
The ground himself. The park lands of
Assiniboia, the fertile valleys of the
Saskatchewan and the dairy and ranch
ing country of Alberta are pierced by
railways all centering in Winnipeg.
The tide that is beginning to set into
these western farming districts is not
much to be wondered at.

Teams of Unequal Size.

A mistake is often mace, says .
writer, where q farmer has q team of
unequal size, and yet gives each the
same leverage when he bitches them
to a machine. He has certainly never
figured the problem out, or he would
readily see what an advantage the
large horse has over the small one.
Suppose the horses to weigh 200 and
1900 pounds respectively, and that the
large horse simply throws his weight
against the collar: The common double
tree is about three feet long. hence
each has leverage of eighteen inches
1ne small horse will need to exert q
strength of $500 pounds in order to
produce equilibrium. Now il we would
simply move the hole in the double
tree 20. S45 inches from the small
horses end, his weight when thrown
against the collar would balance that
of the large horse. Many such little
inequalities the farmer could readily
prevent if he would only observe. OBJ
servation is half Of mechanics. -

SOMEWHAT MIXED.

What Johnny Know About tho Father OF
His Country.
It was the last day in school No. -,
and they were having exercises appro-
pirate tothe day of birth of the Father
of this Country. Johnny Scroggins was
on the bench to answer questions con.
corning the good, great and veracious
man whom all admire. Johnny had
filed himself brimful of Washington
ian ideas and stories. He had learned
so much that he was rather mixed, aud
the quizzing of his teacher brought
forth some extremely amusing an
swers- The dialogue was:
"Who was George Westinghouse
First in war, first in peace and first
to cut down the prided apple tree OF
his fathers in the garden with an AK
hatchet-no. an AK"
''Wha1 was Washington noted for?''
''For-for-chopping down his ia
theirs AK with a cherry tree"
Johnny was getting mixed.
The teacher frowned and the visitors
snickered, but Johnny only looked into
immeasurable space and thought hard.
"What was it, Johnny, that George
never dido"
"Never liedr' replied Johnny, as SOL
emn as solemnity ITSELF
Couldn't you put it q little moro
politely" asked the nervous teacher.
'Yes'm. Never told lie."
"Wel;, then, tell us what you know
about George Washington.
johnny arose and bowed. He started
of like an automaton with: George
Washwoman was never a liar. He
went into the garden and cut down his
fathers Ratchet with cherry tree, and
he said: 4 did it, did, and his father
picked up q club and didn't lick him
like my father does me- He didn't lick
him with the cherry tree that was cut
down.
George Washington was a first in
war, first in never tellin' lie and FIRST
in the garden with a Ratchet to cut
down his fathers cherry tree. He
hewed. let the chips fall where they
may. George Washington was the
Father of his Country because he went
into the cherry tree and cut down the
garden with his small AZ. That's all
know" g.: 81 - ~.
Johnny was evidently mixed, and the
whole room was in uproar 1t his
ludicrous combination of events. Ha
seemed glad that his part Of the show
was over.-Albany Argus I. !
