why the Heat Kills Hogs.

Prof. John A. Craig, of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, explains why the
hog succumbs so INTERESTINGLY when
overheated. The man or horse when
overheated soon has his body covered
with perspiration, and the evapora-
ton of this at once begins to reduce
his temperature. Nature has made no
such provision for the relief of the
hog when heated by exposure to the
sun or by excessive exercise. This is
reason enough why it should have an
abundant and convenient bathing or
wallowing place, whether on summer
pasturage or confined lot, and have
plenty of green food that is laxative
and cooling.

Tile Drains in Clay Soil.

How deep shall the tile drain be laid
in clay soil? This is question that
has been agitating farmers for some
years. At first it was believed that a
drain in clay soil should be shallow,
but more recent Investigations seem
10 indicate that drains should be laid
deep in both sandy and clayey soils.
The effect of the draining in clay soils
is to render the soil above the drain
more friable. The ground is also
more subject TO what is known as the
aeration process. This aeration is in
dry weather of great Importance. The
warm air being forced into the ground,
or rather drawn in, carries with it
much moisture, which is condensed by
the colder soil and thus helps to add to
the moisture in the koil.-Farmers'

FINE WEATHER FOR GROWTH.
The Past Week Good One for Crops
I'm Virginia.

The United States Department of Agri-
culture. Climate and Crop Bulletin of tie
Weather Bureau. Virginia Section, for
the week ending Monday, August It'll, fol-
lows
Throughout the Tidewater counties ana
over the major portion of Middle Virginia
the week has given unusually fine weather
for growth, as indicated by the reports
Of our correspondents. Gentle rains and
plenty of warmth brought forward vegc-
tdtion rapidly and crops previously suffer
ing from lack of rain have revived and
advanced TO their seasonal condition. This
Is especially true Of many fields of corn
in the above-named sections of the State.
Flowing for winter wheat and oats has
made considerable progress, as has also
seeding of turnips.
There, are, however. some areas over
which the drought is, as yet, unrehcved--
notably, In Amherst. Cumberland and
I rince Edward counties in the Middle Di-
vision. and Augusta, Pulaski and Rock.
ingham counties, in the Valley, where
some Of the corn will be a failure and
minor crops are suffering severely
Spring oats harvest IS now practically
flushed I'm the Southwestern Valley coun-
ties. which were the last in the Stale
10 secure this crop. The general yield was
below average. as in the other sections,
hut some fun crops were made
Corn has continued the favorable growtf
reported last week, and many fields
thought 90 be beyond help have revived
and are now quite promising. The army
worm is reported as doing some damage
TO this crop in Nansemoud county, but
the pest is, as yet, local.
Tobacco IS promising. The crop is gen.
orally thrifty and vigorous, the reoen;
favorable weather bringing forward lace
plants rapidly.
Potatoes Qrish and sweet are doing
Well. especially the latter. In Tidewater
counties the second crop of Irish potatoes
has been planted.

THE DUMP NUISANCE.
Conference of city officials Held
About It-Experimcnt 10 lie Made.

The dump nuisance has caught the eai
OF the city officials An important con
ference was held yesterday morning. at
which were present Justice John j.
crutchheld, who called It, and City-At-
torney H. r. Pollard City-Eugineer w.
t. Cutshaw, President-of-the-B oafd-of-
Health Oppenhimer: Councilman Burton.
of the Health Committee; Chief-of-the-
Fire-Department Fuller. and Councilman
Marx Gunst Sergeant Shinberger was
also present.
The conference arose in this way: Ser
geant Shinberger, on his own account, as
a citizen, being himself annoyed by one
OF the twenty or more dumps In the city,
made complaint Of the dump near his
house and a summons was issued for DIT.
Oppenhimer, charging him with permit
ting a nuisance. Justice CrutChfcld de-
cided then that. In view OF the great num-
Der OF complaints being made 10 him, 10
the police. and through the press OF the
city, something must be done. and done
quickly. To this end conference was
called.
Justice Crutohheld said the city was
liable 70 be indicted by grand jury, and
perhaps Lltu S4svvit hAbH'bA S'NbB wv
citizens any relief. Mr.. Pollard agreed
with him.
Colonel Cutshaw suggested that as II
was inhammable matter which often
caught on fire about which the Fire De-
partment complained, and the decaying
organic matter the citizens generally
complained Of that these be burned. in
small piles, using oil. If necessary, for the
complete destruction.
Dr. Oppenhimer stated that the city
Engineers department and the people at
large placed a large amount OF matter
on these dumps, and that the Board of
Health should not be held altogether re-
spOnslble II fever broke out here He was
not in favor Of the City Engineers sug-
gestion of burning, and he would be held
responsible for any fires that might
thereby be caused He finally yielded,
however and an experiment will be made,
which the members Of the conference are
10 witness for their own satisfaction.
Ii was the belief OF the conference that
the dump was a nuisance to a degree,
and. IL necessary, an appropriation should
be made by the city to relieve the people
OF II. Both Messrs. Gunst and Burton
took part in the discussion of this mat
ter. and will probably see that something
is heard OF II later.
