TREES FOR DRAINAGE.
Those Who Have Land That Would
lie Improved by Being Drier
should Plant Some.

1t is a popular belief that trees about
a house tend TO make it damp 1t is
true that after heavy rains dwelling
with trees surrounding it takes more
time to dry out than one not so sur
rounded. On the contrary il is just as
true that where trees are the soil is
very much drier than it would be other
wise. Some years ago the daily papers
had much to say of the drainage of a
malarious district in Rome by the plant
ing largely of the fast-growing blue
gum tree of Australia, Eucalyptus
globulus. There is no doubt that this
rapid-growing tree would quickly
change the character of n half-swamp,
as il grows fast and has thick foliage.
When there is lot of trees full of TO-
liage there is great call for moisture
from the ground. The roots are draw
ing it in continually, and this in the
long run accomplishes as much as a
system of drainage would do. | have
myself witnessed the great change
brought about by the cutting down and
clearing of trees from low piece of
land. What was a fairly dry place
while the trees stood became almost a
swamp. 1t is not as easy to start ever
greens in such n spot as it is deciduous
trees; otherwise they would be better
for the purpose as there is more evapo-
ration from them in the winter season.
But it must not be supposed that there
is entire rest on the part of Il decidu-
Gus tree in winter. The rootsare active
and especially toward spring-an enor-
nous lot of water is taken from the
earth by the roots of large tree. This
is why trees near dwellings which are
in damp situations are so valuable. The
cellar of house which is surrounded
by large trees will he very much drier
than before the trees were there. This
have seen many examples of. There
is no need to plant trees so close that
the branches will reach to the house
and it is not at all desirable that the
limbs overhang it. Deciduous trees are
better than evergreen for planting near
a house. An evergreen is not top
spreader and affords but little shade.
The decduous one gives the shade in
summer when it is needed, and its roots
are drying the soil to great extent in
winter as we'll as largely in summer.
One of the best trees for the purpose
is the common white maple. 1t grows
quickly. makes a good deal of foliage,
and it is much more of Il surface rooter
than many trees, and this is what
makes ii so good for drainage. Those
who may have piece of land that
would be improved by being drier and
would not object TO trees doing the
work for them should plant some. The
result would please them very much

THE HEALTHY MAN.
Qualities which, According to
Medical journal, Constitute
Perfect individual.

One of our medical contemporaries,
the Texas Medical News, thus sums up
the qualities which constitute per-
fectly healthy man. lie should have
strong, healthy heart; one not weak
from disuse or the excessive use of to-
bacco, alcohol or other causes; lungs
we'll developed and that expand
rhythmically with ample breathing
space for health and a surplus for work
or disease; muscles well rounded and
elastic, made hard and strong by use
and carrying, like the camers hump, re-
serve energy for trying journeys;
nerves, natures electric wires properly
insulated and connected, bringing all
the various organs of the body into one
perfect system, and all under the con-
troll of brain of just proportions, well
balanced and convoluted, not soft from
disuse or destroyed for the need of rest;
educated for the high duties it was in
tended to perform, not only to stand
guard over and protect the health and
life Of the individual, but at the same
time TO furnish feeling and thought and
pleasure for the human being. All of
these organs, when properly construct
ed and adjusted and perfect in every de-
tail, go to make up healthy individual
and one possessing within himself
power Of resistance not easily overcon:
by ssase-producing organisms.

Milking I'm Fly Time.

The perpetual switching of cows
tail into the mixers face and eyes is
extremely annoying, aside from the La
bility of getting dirt switched from the
tail into the milk pail. Some mixers
tie the cows tail to her leg, but the flies
make the COW so uneasy that she will
soon switch her tail loose, or else will
break into run. The best way to keep
flies from COW is to rub little grease
over her back and sides, and very lit
tie will be enough. Then spread over
her branches cut from the trees, al
lowing the green leaves to extend down
her sides. The mixer can then milk
in comfort. 1t will need fresh branch
every two or three days, keeping it in
water when not used as a shade for the
cow.-American Cultivation.

An Excellent Combination,

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispclling Gods, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process OF manufacturing figs
