The man who finds the unwelcome
attentions OF the mosquito so exaspe--
ating may well think of what his all
imals suffer, exposed as they are, not
only to this pestiferous insect, but to
others which, as compared to this, are
as the sharpest knives to the smallest
pins, or the sting OF hornet or wasp
to the bite of the invisible gnat. The
biting and blood-sucking insects that
worry the wretched beasts at this sea-
son are q thousand times worse thar
this comparatively tolerable nuisance,
and this worry costs the farmer mil
lions of dollars in the aggregate. All

There is, too, the fatal screw worm
that eats its way through the miser-
able victim and kills it by slow de.
grees, literally eating it alive. The
bot flies that torment the herds and
the docks; the stable flies, the gf1en-

all busy at this time in making the
farm animals wretched; but how few
owners there are that heed this facs,
while they complain loudly of the small
worries of one or two mosquitoes that
disturb their comfort
The careless owner Of these perse-
cuted animals should thiak of this, and
take all means to ease their worries
and torments. This is the du.y of a
merely humane man, but it is the bust
ness of the man whose income depends
upon the products of the work of
his live stock to avoid the pecuniary
losses caused by the sufferings of his

partial or complete soiling by means
of fodder crops grown for the purpose,
and thus fed during the fly season.

PUTTING IN RYE.
Why Fall Flowing and Seeding Down Are
Profitable.

w
Profitable.
BY fall blowing and seeding down to
rye two crops will be turned under
weeds and rye. There may be little or
nothing added to the soil, as the green
food is derived from the soil itself dur
ing growth, though something may be
gained by the appropriation of the free
nitrogen of the atmosphere, but the
roots of the various kinds of weeds
draw upon both the soil and the sub
soil, converting insoluble substances
into plant food, and also feeding upon
the nitrogen brought down by the
rains as ammonia or nitric acid, which
are returned to the soil when the weeds
are plowed under, while the stirring OF
the soil permits the seeds of weeds to
terminate and be destroyed when the
rye is seeded down As rye feeds on
different foods from that preferred by
many of the weeds, it will also convert
inert matter into plant food by storing
it in the stalks, so that when corn is
planted on top of the rye in the spring
the land will have increased in fer
tility and the yield of corn will be
larger The greatest benefit, however,
will, be secured by the destruction of
the weeds, and the lime will exert a
chemical effect on the soil that will
greatly assist in changing the charac-
ter of the plant food. Rural World.

SECTION OF TLE-DRAINED LAND.

Should section of an underdrain be
examined few hours after a heavy
shower, the soil Immediately over and
in contact with the upper side of the
tile will be found quite dry, while the
ne, II the bottom of the tile is APP
preached, the greater amount Of moist
ure will be found, while at the bottom
it will be completely water soaked.
Hence, it is useless to place sods or
other porous material over the top of
tile at the Joints, for the purpose of
allowing the water to enter. In fact
sod, hay, straw or other vegetable mat
ter is the very worst covering to use,
as it is only a matter of few months
when it will perish, leaving a greater
or less space, that in time PARTICLES of
earth will fall or wash into, and very
much of this loose material finds its
way into the drain, often causing stop
page and trouble. For horseshoe tile,
a covering of piece of tough paper at
the joints, is the best thing possible
and may extend down the sides to
within half an inch of the bottom.
Often, by turning tile end for end, a
better joint is made. Fit them close
There is no danger of getting them too

Eco Few FarIaers Understand Where
Water lGnters the Drain.
Most farmers think that the water
enters the tile drain only from the SOIL
above This ii certainly wrong inn
preston, and, while it is true that the
water in the soil Immediately over the
drain may enter the tile at or near the
top, yet that three feet to each side
settles nearly perpendicularly until it
strikes the water-soalled soil, and then
the natural force of gravity, atmos-
pheric pressure, and absorptive attrac-
ton, causes it tc enter the drain either
at the bottom or through the joints in
the tile near the bottom. The progress
of water toward the tile is shown by
the lines in the engraving. Immediate
~ over the Irain the course is down
ward; little farther away the course is
little out of the perpendicular, falling
until it strikes the water-soaked soil.

COLONEL CARR's VIEWS.

Col. j. S. CARR, in an interview in
THE GLOBE yesterday, talked good sense
and takes a cheerful view of the financial
situation, which he says is certain to ad-
just itself to the needs of the people, and
that, too, in the neal future.
COLONEL CARR, while protesting to
know scarcely anything of a question
| with which the brightest minds have
grappled with apparently little result, in
consideration of his large business inter
| ests and his well known reputation as a
financier, is in a position to talk intelli-
gently on a subject to which he has de-
voted much study, and on which he has
made it a point to keep himself informed.
Mr.. CARR has great confidence in con-
gress and the final outcome at Washing
ton. He believes in the party to which
be has ever been loyal, and insists that
he will fight it out on that line. He is a
democrat through and through, yester-
day, to day and forever, and has an abid-
ing faith in Mr.. CLEvELAND's integrity.
He believes that while perhaps a little
slow, the present administration will do
more to relieve the country than the most
sanguine have contemplated or hoped
for, and that the good times" are not
far ahead.
Mr.. CARR says, and says truly, that we
have the country, the resources and the
brains. If, with all these, we do not
prosper, it will be the fault Of the people,
of whom he is one, and that will never
happen. He predicts in the near future
a long season of financial prosperity,
such as we have n known for years,
and as this prediction is backed by sound
argument, it is, we take it, the stuff,
