Good Sense.

The man who is Of the most use in the
community is always the man who does
the most work. Taking one thing with
another it is the busy MAI who makes his
fortune. Long continued efforts with good
health will lead to success. There is MOTH
ing 50 true as this. It follows therefore
that the man who would be successful
must look after his health. RElD'S GER
MAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE
is one of the great means for preserving
the health, for it guards the individual
against any danger from pulmonary trou-
bles. Medical authorities say that half the
deaths arise from sope form Of lung diff
eulties. This being so it follows that if
we would avoid lung trouble and pulmo.
nary complaint we can preserve our health.
All of these start from a cold and they are
all complicated more or less with kidney
trouble. REID'S GERMAN COUGH.

want three or four grades to the same
line of drain unless a change from a
higher to a lower, from .he 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
a 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 a 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 as
neal the drain "a we can to have them
stand firm. Calcul ations are made
and the stakes driven so that a line
stretched on their tops will represent
the grade of the ditch when ready for

Simple Instruments which Do the Work

In our work at the tile drainage we
found it impractical to depend upon
water to grade by. Oftentimes when
we could work at the drains there
would be no water, other times too
much or not enough; consequently we
must adopt some plan that could be
used at any time we could work in the
bitches. We have plenty of fall for all
our drains. The professionals would
cut them. no doubt, without water or
any other arrangement to get the

A mistake is often maze, says a
writer. where a 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 1000 inc
1.3OO 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 a leverage of eighteen inches
the small horse will need to exert q
strength of $500 pounds in order to
produce equilibrium. Now if we would
simply move the hole in the double
tree 20. 345 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
