sometimes. To cut deeper into the
hardpan is useless unless you can go
clear through. and this is often ilnpos-
sible. I have done it, however, with
the very best results. Last year 1 took
up tile ditch which had failed to
benefit the ground, and by sinking it a
foot or two deeper struck the loose
gravel and drew the water out from
under all the surrounding region.
But to go clear through the hardpan
is often too expensive and even ilnpos-

WAGES Paid for Farm Labor.

Secretary Rusl1 made an interesting
contri button to the industrial statistics
of the country in his published report
on the wages of farm labor in the
United States. His tables show that
in 1866 monthly farm wages, exclusive
of board. were as follows: In eastern
states, 1881; middle states. $50. SIS;
southern states, s16.63; western states,
e25.s mount tain states, s2T.23; Pacifl c
states, $500, the average being $685.
The lowest point was reached in 1879,
when the average was SIG. o5. From that
time, however, they have steadily in
creased until at the present time they
are: In eastern states, s:,6. 46: middle
states, s22. 23; southern states, S14.S6;
western, $22.61; mountain, Sa2.Gl; pa
cific, $50. Is; the average per - oni.si for
the whole year being $3.50.

the corners to raise the coop off the

Gus deformities found among chickens
come from their squeezing between
pickets and through the meshes of
coarse wire netting. When feeding at
an early age this may be prevented by

though somewhat removed from the
central portion of the grounds this
building is at all times thronged with
visitors who seem 10th to leave the de-
cayed remnants OF former members of
early tribes of this country and the
moldy skulls of human beings who once
lived and moved and had their being in
all quarters of the globe.
There seems to be sort OF fascina-
ton in these repu1sive relics The aver
age person will stand and gaze into the
sightless sockets of a grinning skull

One day recently a party of men were
strollinS about among the mummies
when one of them, a big, rough-1ook-

force, exclaimed: Say, fellers, this is

The subject of salvage on the fair
buildings is already under discussion.
In few weeks more steps will be
taken to dispose of the material Of
which the great buildings are COM
posed Much of it will of necessity
be wasted, but there will be a great
deal of it that can be utilized for build
ing purposes. A great deal of the
timber will be just as good as new and
will doubtless go at half price or less.
and it is quite likely that a great de-
mand will arise for IT to be used in the
construction of dwellings, near the
grounds.
There will undoubtedly be a use

two months left in which to discuss
this matter it does not at present COM

become a question upon which the fair
officials will be engaged in good earnest.
