DRAINAGE OF FARMS.

~ NntWSs
The only Real and Practicable Method
OF Improving Wet Lands.
Where water after rains stands for Q
long time in the burrows and slight de-
pressions In the ground, and on lands
where the shoes of the farmer, except
in periods of drought are habitually
clogged with sticky mud, and the hoofs
Of animals as they sink into the yield
ing soil make cavities which maintain
their shape for days, oftentimes hold
ing water, the necessity for drainage
of some kind is too clearly Indicated to
admit of any doubt For changing
such unfavorable conditions, where
ever the lay of the land will permit,
open surface drainage is often resorted
to Mt first.
While such drains are useful in some
cases, in the matter of permanent i'm
provement OF the soil they amount to
but little and are liable to be tho
cause OF impoverishment in the soil it.
self by carrying off fertilizing matter
into the gullies and streams. Where
the surplus rain that falls upon the
ground can be led off from the surface
in tho same clear state in which it de-
seconded from the clouds, tho soil re-
ceives no injury from its escape, but it
is only under occasional peculiar con-
ditions that this will occur
This is SO we'll understood by most
cultivators, that other methods have
come into use One, formerly more
common than at present, was to throw
the wet land into high and wide ridges
In the fall and leave it in that condition
until spring When cultivation is
about to begin these ridges are further
widened and fattened out, affording a
series Of rather wide spaces, much bet
ter fitted for cultivation, but with very
undesirable bitches between them, Of
ten holding stagnant water throughout
the entire season. While such prac-
tice will not draw fertility away from
the soil, it consigns considerable por-
ton Of it to non-usage and is otherwise
Objectionable in many respects
The only real and practicable meth
cd OF improving wet farm lands, by
which their condition is permanently
changed for the better. is by the use
Of underground drains for which tilo is
the most common and best material
Where these are placed at proper
depths, say from three to four feet.
and at suitable distances apart, vary
ing greatly according to the compact
ness of the soil to be drained, and with
a slight fall towards their outlets,
whatever elements of fertility the sur
face water may contain will be
strained out within reach of the roots
of plants in its descent towards the
drains. Furthermore, the upper line
OF the ground water sinks below the
level of the drains, and the benefit Of
this form Of drainage is realized by the
soil above them becoming favorably
changed in its general character and
earlier and better fitted for crops. -

seems that there has been no turmoil

Secretary OF the Interior Hoke
Smith recently outlined his future
policy. He said that as far as pen
sions we're concerned the existing law
would be honestly administered.
Those entitled to pensions would re.
ceive them but efforts would be made
to prevent the payment of pensions
money to those who had used corrupt
means Of obtaining it. The ''penison
lawers," he said, would be ignored as
far as possible. Men with an aptitude
il not genius for mechanics will fill
the place in the Patent Office, and the
business of that department. will be
completed as promptly as possible
Concereing forestry, nc timber Will be
allowed to be cut on the public lands
to benefit corporations merely or even
large private enterprises, but there
must be resultant public benefit.
The Indians will be fairly treated, and
no undue advantage will be taken OF
them. There will be no maudlin scnti-
ment about the administration of their
affairs, however, simple because they
were probably wronged in the early
days of the republic. Altogether, If
Secretary Smith succeeds in carrying
ont his policy as outlined, he will have
a successful administration of the
departnent.

tains and babble among our eternal

Snake or lower Weiser. Just now
every man who loves the split bam-

Of little but the far streams where

NJ L. Hoyt is again in Salt Lake,
cohferring with the smelter people in
regard to putting plant in the Seven
Devils. We all agree that il they
decide positively to do SO, and do put
in the plant at once, it viii be the
making of this eoanty. When the
camp springs into the roar and hustle
of active life, every interest in the
county will receive renewed life
Then, we ask, why is it that those
most deeply interested and who are
financially able to do SO, do not make
greater effort to win and strengthen
the confidence of outside capital.
There are those directly interested in
the mines Of the camp who are able
to take stock in tue smelter them
selves. And it is not necessary to
own mine to be directly interested
Rer instance, a man like John Cuddy,
with the nearest Touring mill to the
camp; il the plant were established,
mines worked and a genuine live
mining camp built up, be could treble
the capacity Of his mill and then sell
all his -four; and there are others in
similar situations. Men like that are
directly interested. There are men
in Weiser, Salubria and other parts
OF the county who would be benefited
90 to 500 per cent and who are able
to take certain amount Of stock in
the enterprise. This would prove
our own confidence in our mines and
awaken like confidence in the Salt
Lake parties, the more readily induc-
ing them to push the matter through

snake would some time come out of It's

honey after that in hopes of the snake
again making It's appearance, but It
never came up further than her mouth.
A year ago while in bed shew was awals-
ened in her sleep by something cold
crawling over her breast. She screamed
and the snake quickly drew itself back

Late Saturday night she was seized

she closed her teeth on the body of the
repulsive creature and ran TO her

ncving her daughter of the unwelcome
tenant. The snake was fifteen inches
long, and died a few minutes after be-
ing in the air. Miss Moore tainted sew
