Draining Remedy for Alkali.

Prof. Helleman, of the Agricultural
college, in examining slkali soils in Kit
ttas valley, says
at is quite generally accepted, be-
lieve, that the alkal salts come to the
surface first on lands comparatively
lower than that surrounding, and that
these salts do come to the surface from
beneath due to capillarity and evapora-
ton, and some method which in its
workings would carry these soluble salts
along their course of drainage without
permitting them to come to the surface
would seem to be quite rational, both
theoretically and practically.
Il have found that in nearly all cases
the alkali land is that which is so sit
uated that the surrounding land cuts off
its drainage, the under drainage is inn
perfect, the supply of soluble salts from
further up the valley is greater than the
particular alkal area can drain and as a
result this salt-laden dead water is drawn
to the surface and leaves its mark. These
conditions, to my mind, are augn ented
by the fact that many farmers use toe
much water.
Il do not look upon this question as
though it were insurmountable, though
it is an important one, and one that needs
immediate attention. 1t is a problem
which involves great deal of work, but
can and must be overcome

Enemies of tho Rather.

The two greatest enemies of the rattle
snake are the blacksnake and the hog.
The rattlesnake is slow and sluggish in
movement, while the blacksnake is in
tenSeiy rapid. The latter Will circle
around his foe and with a sudden dart
grasp the venOmOus reptile by the neck,
so that it has no chance to use it's pOis on
GUS fangs, and quickly squeeze it TO
death. A hog, especially if fat, suffers
no danger from the rattlesnake. He will
march boldly up to the coiled reptile,
allow himself to be struck in his jOwls
once, twice or three times, as the case
may be, and will then calmly proceed to
swallow the reptile without concern. The
reason for the hogs immunity is due to
the fact that the blood vessels are so
minute and infrequent on his cheeks,
where fat is predominant, that they fail to
take up the poison and carry it through
the pOrcine system. Hogs have been
used in drOves to clear some of the islands
of the southern seas of poisonous reptiles,
and have proved successful.
BY remembering two simple facts any
one can distinguish a poisonous serpent
from harmless one. The venomOus rep
tile invariably possesses triangu-
larly shaped head and a blunt nose,
while his tail is correspondingly blunt
and stubby. Any snake that tapers
smoothly from the middle of it's body to
the tip of its nose and to the tip of his
tail as well, growing slender in gradual
and regular manner, is absolutely devoid
of venom

Advantages Of Direct Buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have In
recent years inaugnrated a new system of dis
posing of their products which is unqualifiedly
to the advantage of the consumer. 1t took
courage to make the change, but they did it.
Among the pioneers in this new method Of
doing business was the Elkh2rt Carriage &
Harness Mfg. Co, of f khart INDIANA. whose

begun this plan of doing business twenty-siX
years ago, and have adhered to il strictly ever
since. The result has been so entirely success
full that they are to-day the largest manufac-

selling TO the consumer exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are almost
beyond estimate. He gets better goods; better
and larger selection; better styles and finish,
and finally he buys at a much more equitable
and advantageous price. In dealing with the
