Mechanical Effects of Drainage.-The
mechanical effects OF drainage are to
deepen the soil and promote it's more
thorough pulverization. It's first effect
is to dry its surface soil by drawing
out Of it all the surplus moisture. so
that in early spring or late autumn it
may be worked with the plow as adyan-
tageously as at midsummer. A wet
soil can never be properly pulverized.
and the blowing or working clay soil,
or even heavy loan, when wet, tends
only to puddle 1t and render it less
pervious to water and air. Rain water
contains great quantity and variety
of fertilizing substances, and it depos-
its them in the soil during its passage
through it. Both these facts are per-
ceptible to the senses without resorting
to chemical tests.

Outlet of Drains.-No portion of a
system of drainage demands more care
full consideration than the outlet. 1t is,
Of course, essential that it should be
enough lower than any portion of the
lands that are to be drained by 1t to ad-
nit of sufficient fall for the passage of
water from the heads of it's most dis
tant tributaries. Yet it must be high
enough above the level of whatever
water it empties into to prevent danger
of its being overflowed and the drain

Wheat King of Argentina.-Th
wheat king OF the world belongs to Ar

named Guazone, and his broad acres
are situated in the south Of the prov

pies an area of 66,270 acres. He num-
bers his workmen by the thousand. and
each one receives a certain share of
the profits. When his seasons crop is
harvested he fills over 1900 railway
trucks with his grain.-Ex.

THE NEW HOSPITAL.
An Enterprise That Should Receive the

An Enterprise That Should Receive the
Support of the Town and the County.
When the supreme court decision that
deprived the university of the Denver
branch of its medical department was
first announced in Boulder last summer
the general expression of the citizens of
town was one of satisfaction. The insti
tuition, they said, will now be conducted
in its entirety in Boulder where it be-
longs. In other words. the people want
ed the university to remain here, and
they wanted to allow no chance to slip
in whereby it might be removed IN whole
or in part.
The interest manifested by the citizens
is now to be put to the test. A medical
school to be successful must be run in
connection with hospital, SO as to give
the students, the advantage of clinical
training. AS thereis no hospital in Boul-
der the regents are confronted with the
fact that the medical department must
therefore be abandoned unless hospital
can be established here. With the end
in view Of establishing hospital, meet.
ngs have been held and several citizens
now constitute a committee tosecure the
necessary funds on the lines laid out in
the following statement:
I. The proposed hospital shall be
owned by the state university, and To-
Gated on the campus or other property
of the university.
2. The object shall be the treatment
of diseases, wounds and accidents and
the furnishing of clinical material for the
instruction of the students of the medi-
cal department OF the university.
3. The hospital staff shall be made up
from the medical faculty.
d. Boulder county is asked 10 con-
tribute $4,000 for which it shall have one
free bed for ten years; and the hospital
staff shall perform the duties of county
physician at the hospital, the county
poor farm and in Boulder city free of
cost for ten years.
s. Boulder city is asked to contribute
$1,000, for which it shall have free bed
for ten years, and INDECENT citizens re-
commended by the mayor shall receive
free treatment in the hospital clinic.
6. The hospital shall include private
rooms for pay patients, the occupants of
which may have the services of anyphy
sician or surgeon they may select, the
income from such rooms to be applied on
the running expenses of the hospital
7. The hospital shall be under the
control of the state university with an
advisory board consisting of the chair
man of the board of county commission
ers, the mayor OF the city of Boulder and
one other person to be selected by the
contributors to the hospital.
The money necessary tor the building
is $4,000, the projectors proposing to
raise the other $4,000 by private sub
scriptions. The purpose at present is to
secure the signatures of the citizens on
petitions to the council and commission
ers to appropriate the sums asked for
The petitions are now in circulation, and
the matter of building up the university
medical department and of furnishing
the town and county with first class hos
pital advantages is now in the hands Of
