the water to get in easily. Such

Some farmers use three poles,
placing two at the bottom Of the

main drain of larger capacity
than two and one. half square will

TERRACING.
1t is also a very favorable time
for terraclng. My experience of
ten years is highly favorable to
the expediency and effectiveness
of terracing all rolling land ex
cept such acres as are very steep.
These latter, when they are so
steep that the fall is as much or
more than three feet in twenty
feet, going straight down the hill,
should be put into permanent
pasture or meadow, to be accas
ionally sown in small grain. 1t is
better, however, to keep them in
Bermuda or other hardy grass.
The old and first esta blishe ed
rule of locating each terrace three
feet perpendicularly below the
one next above, seems to be gen.
orally accepted and approved,
and probably Is the best. The all
important, or essential point in
terracing. is to run the terrace
lines very accurately on a perfect
level, excepting that in running
across sharp depression where
a gully would be most likely to
form, prefer to raise the grade
a little so as to make the terrace
bank at the angle or turn (point.
ing up hill) a little higher, say
four or five inches, than the gem
eral level. Il. j. REDDING.

Winter Farm Work.

There is no doubt Of the fact
that there is a disposition on the
part Of many farmers to 'let up
on farm work after the crops of
the past year have been gathered
and the fall sowing Of small grain
has been completed. On some
farms the latter part Of Novem
ber, the whole of December and
often the greater part Of January
is considered a "slack time" and
and hardly anything is done ex
cept what Is absolu tely necessary.
This ought not so to be. While
we strongly believe in the maxim
that "all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" it is quite as
true that if man works only
half or one.fourth of the time
during any considerable period
of the year he cannot reasonably
expect TO be prosperous. | see no
harm, but much good, in all hands
taking one-half day, and occas.
ionally an entire day. from the
ordinary work Of the farm and
devoting the time to recreation,
fishing, hunting or visiting. l do
not believe in everlasting sweat
and toll and | think that little
"nonesense," as some would call
it, now and then is better than
"all work and no play"
There are many kinds of farm
work that can be better done be.
tween now and February 1st than
at any other season of the year.
DITCHING WET PLACES.
There are few farms IN the
south on which there are not more
or less extensive acres that are
usually too wet for cultivation.
In most cases these spots are ex-
ceedingly rich and with few ex-
ceptlons could be made dry
enough for cultivation by proper
ditching and draing. am mind
ed, in this connection, to say that
on the farm under my direction
there are three of these formerly
wet places, each Of about one
acre In extent. The past year one
OF these was in cotton and the
other In corn. The first yielded
fully twice as much cotton and
the second twice as much corn as
any other acre on the place. They
never fail even of wet year, and
they always produce from so to
100 per cent. more whatever the
seasons may be.
Now is the very time to ditch
out these places, because the soil
contains less water than at any
other season.
While regular dram tile, or
pipes made of clay, are better.
they are by no means indispensa
bic, especially IN vet ditching.

INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN MERRIAM
Was Told Not to Interfere With Min

Especial to The Herald

Washington, June 2S.-The reports of
the war department show that but two
communications of instruction have
been addressed to General Merriam
relative to the troubles at Wardner.
The first, of date April &c. was sent To
the general at Denver 1t was from
General Corbin, and was published cor
rectly at the time in the press. The
other was the much discussed telegram
from Secretary Alger to General Mer-
riam at Wardner. of date May 81.
The last portion of this telegram, as
copied by your correspondent from the
department letter book today differs
slightly in language, though apparently
not in meaning from the way ii was
published in the west. 1t reads:
Those were our original instructions.
the army must have nothing whatever
to do with enforcing rules for the gov
eminent of miners or miners unions.
That is a matter for the local authori-
ties TO deal with
There were no other instructions of
any character sent to Merriam, Major

night that there had been no other in

FIVE SOLDIERS DROWNED.
Attempt to Cross Pasig River and

Victoria, B. c., June 2S.-Details of
the drowning of five men of company
G, Twelfth infantry, Z. S. A, in the
Pasig river June 3, were brought here
from the Orient by steamer Empress of
China.
A number of soldiers, under the di-
rection of an officer, were crossing the
river on a small raft made of bamboos
dashed over small boats. The men were
crossing in regular squads, but at the
time of the accident the raft was over
loaded and rapidly filled until it sank
about ten feet from the bank. The
water was full of struggling men,
fighting against the swift current and
heavy equipments, and before they
could be rescued five had gone down
for the last time. Four bodies have
been recovered as follows:
Corporal Z. Hermann.
Jasper l.. Whims.
Nels Anderson.
Joseph Nuneville.
They were buried in the new nation
al cemetery adjoining the old Spanish
cemetery.
Since Feb. 5, 256 soldiers in all have
been buried there. Within each coffin
is placed corked bottle containing de-
tails and cause of death.
