Why Draining Il Much More Effective

Drainage is being studied now by
farmers as never before, and in all sec
tions of the country IL is becoming a
matter of first Importance. There are
very few farms upon which more or
less tiles could not be used with great
profit, and as rule the farmer who
begins TO drain his farm will be so
fully convinced of the benefits derived
therefrom that he will continue put
ting In drains until he has finished the
work on the whole farm. A heavy clay
soil can never be farmed 20 the best
purpose unless IL is drained and except
for special crops, most of muclSy and
low-lying lands are benefited by
thorough system OF drainage. A very
few sections of the country have sub
soil that is in such condition that

the sections where the soil rests on

Express charges on live poultry be-
ing double rates, il Is desirable TO
make the crate in which poultry is
shipped as light as is consistent with

tom OF the crate, though II the box Is
at all high some three or four inches
only, OF the top and OF the bottom

ends then covered with burlap or cot
ton cloth. The top may be Of Stats or
OF boards, as shown in the sketch. IL
OF the latter, a hole should be cut
