this to the ground on both stakes and
taking the difference you have the
fall between the two places. Now
measure the distance between the
two stakes and see how the fall COM
pares with the distance. Nothing
less than two inches to 100 feet will
answer, and the more the better. In
digging the trench, IL there Is no
water to show the fall, drive stakes in
pairs, one on each side every few rods,
so that by laying straight-edge on
top perfectly level and measuring to
the bottom of the ditch the fall can
be obtained. The trenches should
go as deep as possible, for
the deeper they go the larger
surface is drained, as the tile
will drain twenty to hundred feet
on each side, according to the soil and
fall. Drains are usually dug from
three to four feet deep, but drain
even If you cannot go deeper than
eighteen inches. In digging throw
the top soil ON one side and the poor
on the other, SO as to put it back as
before. III the bottom is Quicksand
do not delay laying the tile, but lay
and cover Immediately, beginning at
the outlet and making connections
with the back drains as you go along.
All of these connections should be
made so as to bring the flow of water
In as near parallel course as posi-
BILE, so as not to obstruct the current.
AS quick a way as any to make
these connections is to saw hole In
tile Of the main TO correspond To the
meeting of the branch, which will
have to be sawed off on slant to
make allowance for the angle. In
this way the boint is as tight as the
ends, while silt, etc, do not wash in.
In covering be careful not to dis
place the joints SO as to let in the
dirt. 1T is good plan to cover these
joints with tarred paper or sods be-
fore filling and then trample some fine
soil on both sides with the feet so as
not to displace the tile. If the soil is
of quicksand nature put some of the
top soil around and over the tile for a
few inches, and then any Of it will
answer Fill to within six or eight
inches of the top and then with a
pillow backfurrow together. At the
end of a chain, or where it draws the
water from an open ditch sink bar
rel, running the tile into the same al
about the center. This will prevent
the tile from filling up and the dirt
dropping into the barrel, which can
be cleaned out as often as necessary.
These barrels should be provided with
covers and sufficiently covered in the
fall to prevent freezing during the
winter. If boards are to be used,
horseshoe tile will answer as well as
any, and there are very few soils in
which board would not benefit by
keeping the tile from settling un.
evenly. Try more tile drain and there
will be less cry of hard times.-Mar-
ket Gardener.

ttehD STAGE

connected with the subject of bread
making of which l had no previous
knowledge: consequently 1 am not
prepared yet to answer with COM
plete certainty question that is
often put to me:
.tDoes dough rise better in the day
time than 1t docs at night?"
Most plants, perhaps all, struggle
for light and grow more vigorously
when they obtain it, Is there any
reason why the yeast plant should
differ from other plants in this re.
spect? / know of none. And, al
though only few hours are necces-
sary for the growth and development
OF the yeast plant, will it not be
healthier and more vigorous and per-
form its functions better If it's brief
existence takes place under the most
favorable conditions? And are not
light and pnre air more conducive to
such conditions than darkness and
impure air?
l believe dough rises better and
makes a flner-flavored and more nu-
tritious bread when mixed by daylight
than it does when mixed at night.
So believing, / shall continue to mix
dough and make bread by daylight,
although it is contrary to general
usage, until it is scientifically demon
strated that my belief is incorrect.

Fail Calves.

The fall calf has as much potential
proftableness as has the spring calf.
says writer in the American Agri-
culturist. But to make it actual,
more and better care is required.
The most critical part of the animals
life is the first six months. During
this period, the spring calf has pas
ture and favorable weather, but the
fall calf has neither and must there
fore have better care. My fall calves
are generally supposed to be two years
old when they are only eighteen
months. To make them profitable,
they must have extra care, which
gives them increased value. / give
them full milk until they are a week
old. Then / change gradually To
skim milk. After two weeks of age
as good a calf can be reared upon
skim milk, as from whole milk, pro-
vided something is added to take the
place of the cream. For this nothing
is better than oil meal boiled to a
thin jelly. Persons not accustomed
to its use are more likely to use toe
much than too little of it.

LIVE srock AND DAIRY.

Loss OF appetite may be causeds by
overwork or too little exercise, fault
with the food, faulty general manage
ment, soreness about the mouth or
disease of the teeth. When refusal
to eat is due to continued overfeed-
ing, short rations for day or two Is
all that is required. Food that Is
not eaten within reasonable time
should be promptly removed from the
manger and the next feed correspond
ingly reduced. Give amman no more
than he will eat up clean. 1t often
happens that food Is refused for no
apparent reason, the animal at the
same time becoming thin and weak.
In such cases ''condimenta" foods
are useful, not because Of any SUI
perior nutritive value, but because
they do rouse the appetite. The fol-
lowing formula is recommended for
the greater number of cases: Ground
or crushed oats and corn meal, of
each five pounds, oil meal one-fourth
of a pound, common table salt two
ounces. IL the animal seems to need
tonic or is troubled with intestinal
worms, mix with each ration as above
given, a dessertspoonful of powdered
gentian, and small teaspoonful OF
the dried sulphate of iron. If the
animal then refuses the ration little
starvation is all that will be required
to cause him to take 1t, the dislike
ceasing as soon as the animal has
once been persuaded to partake of the
mixture.

Dairy Produce for England.

In speaking of dairy produce for
England, the LonCon News says.
Twenty-one million pounds sterling
were paid last year TO Continental
countries for dairy produce alone.
The butter and margarine imported
weighed over 3, 900, 600 hundredweight
and the cheese near y ., 900, 900. The
immense quantities will probably
continue to be imported until inland
freight charges become reduced. At
present it is cheaper to send packages
to London from Belgium than from
many parts of Yorkshire.

Live stool, and DAIRY Notes.

ONE item with cattle is that they
will consume much roughness to ar
advantage.
IT is only where pasture is very
cheap that 1T will pay to keep COW
solely for the calf.
A GOOD COW, properly cared for,
should bring good calf every year,
without injury.
In winter, even If the sun Is shin.
ing, it Is not good plan to compel
cattle to stand in cold mud.
So LONG as the farmer tries to com.
pete with the ranchman, he will
realize but little profit with cattle.
CORN meal, linseed meal and bran,
with good hay, makes one of the best
rations for milk that can be given.
CATTLE that are kept thrifty dur
ing the winter can be made to gain
very rapidly after grass gets a good
start.
BY having the calves come in the
fall, two summers and one winter
feeding can be secured before market
ing.
MAKE Yourself ''solid" with every
living creature on the farm. Club
bling bull or kicking a cow will have
an opposite tendency.
SOMEBODY asked us not long since
how to prevent horse from paving
In the stall. We see it stated that
tying piece OF carpet around the
foot to prevent the noise will stop
the habit in some cases.
THE more thought and care a
farmer gives. to live stock-cattle par
ticularly-the better his general farm
ing is pretty sure TO be. Horses are
sometimes petted and given extra care
by poor and shiftless farmers, but such
farmers rarely take much pains with
cows.
If the tongue Of the horse is put
over the bit. get piece OF thin sheet
iron about two and half inches wide
and five inches long with the ends
rounded and the edges filed smooth.
Drill two small holes at each end in
the center and fasten the bit. Draw
the bit well up in the mouth, and
this piece of iron will prevent the
horse getting the tongue over the bit.
HAVING referred to the peaceful
ness and sociability of Polled cattle,
''New York Tribune" writer says:
"But put one horned COW into the
pasture with the Polls and she spoils
IL ALL II she sees the Polls enjoying
mutual protection she will scatter
their phalanx II to do so she has got
to 60 across flfty-acre field with the
thermometer at 100 degrees Fahren-
heit."

would not have manure put in a
cellar nor go to the expense of shed
to cover it. would not have a slat
floor, for cattle cannot stand in COM
fort on one any better than a bare
footed man. / save all the urine and
keep IL by itself in cistern. l would
not spread load Of manure on a
larger surface than two rods square
and consider it the right thing to
haul out manure in winter as fast as

heaps, the work is retarded in the
spring by having to wait for the
ground to thaw out where the heaps
were. The best, and in the long run
the cheapest floor, for COW stable is
stone tagging laid in cement. Fifty

tion while spruce plank will break
