ABOUT TILE DRAINING.
Work That Pay. for Itself In n Very short
Time.

Work That Pays for Itself Ia Very short
Time.
All land chat has no sand or gravel
Should be under-drained.
The first thing in drainage is a good
outlet, whether open ditch or tile,
large enough to carry the water from
the smaller DRAINS
If the ground is rather fiat. with lit
tie fall, cut the bitches from fifty to
scventy-hve feet apart, with not less
than one inch OF fall to one hundred
feet of length, not less than twenty
inches dee in the most shallow place
nor more than three feet deep, unless to
get the grade or level. Cut ditch in bot
tom perfectly level so there will be
no rifles in it: lay the tile close against
each other; fit the joints well together;
put fine earth around tile about six
inches deep; then fill the remainder in
with pillow or shovel. but do not allow
horses or cattle to tramp in it when
fresh filled in or ground is wet.
The size of tile should vary W it'll the
amount of water and the distance of
drains apart. For fiat ground, fifty
feet apart and forty rods long, with
one inch fall to one hundred feet
length; the outlet should have three
and a half or four-inch tile for thirty or
thirty five rods, and the remainder
with three or three and a half inch.
In bitches of shorter distance three or
lnTce ana Il hal1 men Is large enough,
according to the water they have to
carry; for branches from ten to twenty
rods a thrce-inch tile makes a good
ditch with the above fall.
Tile does good service where the
drains are one hundred feet apart if
put in lowest places. Drains from
sixty to eighty rods long should have
Eve or six inch tile fc- an outlet. A
six inch tile will carry all the water on
fiat land from forty acres without in
jury to crops from wet weather.
The advantages of tile draining are
many Flowing may be done from
week to ten days earlier in the spring;
tile-drained land is half manured Al.
though open bitches do good service
where tile bitches cannot be made
their disadvantages are great: with
tile drains the water will soon disap-
pear from the surface after a rain
while with an open ditch it will stand
cutsld of bank for several days: yoU
can farm and raise .he best crops owe.
tile drains, while an open ditch Is
waste land for weeds to grow on: YOU
never need to Clean a tile drain If
properly put in; you must clean out an
open dit"h every two three We ars:
your open bitches harbor vermin such
as m"skrats aud the mink, who dig
holes along the bank for horses and
cattle to step in and break their legs:
your tile ditch will not harbor any
thing and gives You no trouble il Won

Hollands Vast Undertakings
If the estimates which have been
made of the cost OF draining the
Zuyder Zee in II olland and the value
of the land which will be rec! famed
are correct, it will be a prof a BILE un-
dertaking which has at last been be-
gun after 600 years consideration. 1t
was in the year 1882 that the sea
flooded 1000, 900 acres and destroyed
seventy-two villages iuh abited by the
Dutch. The dam which is to be built
to shut out the North sea will extend
from Mak,,m, in Friesland, to the
island of Wieringen, in north Holland
When it is finished the water will be
pumped into the sea and the world
will be allowed to look at the thir-
teenth century villages, or what is left
of them. 1t is said that three fourths
s4OO an acre, which will add $780,
600. 900 to the value of the agricultural
territory of Holland. AS the cost of
building the dam and pumping out the
water will be only S95, 900, 900. there
will be a handsome profit in the enter
prise. On this side of the ocean $500
an acre seems to be a large price for
farming land, but it may be worth that

to the Royal Academy a picture called
MiSsing," Which attracted great
deal of attention. The Roll Call
her most famous work, first eN-
hibited in 1874. and was purchased by
the queen. The picture gained a popu-
larity for itself and its author that
was almost without precedent in Eng
land. The following year she cxhibitc cd
the picture of THE Twenty-eighth
Regiment at Quartrc Bras and again
a year later came ''Balal1lavn." An
other picture, 1.-The Return from Ink
erman,' was bought by the Fine Arts
society for 9:5, OOO-
These facts are sufficient to indicate
the standing Of the painter and the IN
portance Of the picture which the queen
has consented to loan to EXPOSE
ton. 1t is safe to say that 1T will be n
highly interesting attraction. Battle
scenes and soldier life are always at
tractive to a majority of people, ana it
will be refreshing to see some work in
this line that is truthful without the
horror and ghastliness which some
modern artists have carried into SINH
lar work, coming dangerously near the
proper boundary lines of art

The term cutworm is very loosely
used, being often applied to the 1arvs
of the June bug, which cut grass roots,
to the wire worms, the larvse of the
swapping beetles, and even to the
bore~s that cut channels in woody
plants. The term cutworln is princi-
pally confined by entomologists to

that have the habit of hiding just
under the surface of the ground during
the day and feeding upon the roots,
stems or leaves of plants by night.
When the larvse climb high and feed
upon the foliage of tall plants or trees,
they are called climbing cutworms.
The cutworms may he known by the
following general characters: The
moths known dart moths or owlet
moths are deltoid or triangular in
shape when the wings are closed, and
usually fly at night, and often enter
rooms, being attracted by the light.
The worms when full grown measure
from one to two inches in length, have
sixteen legs, thick bodies which taper
somewhat at the ends, without hairs
and greasy looking, brown gray or
greenish with indistinct Ion gitudinal
