The users of drain tile are becom-
ing more and more to use the larger
tile. For a good many years farmers
have dug bitches for and used 2h-
inch, 3-inch and 3k-inch tile. Now
they have come to see that 4-inch tile
does better service and costs little
more than the other. The smaller
sized tiles are being discarded to such
an extent that some of the manufac-
turers this year will make no tile
smaller than 4-inch. The movement
is a step in advance. 1t costs just as
much to dig a ditch for a 3-inch tile
as for a 4-inch, and that is the prin-
cipal cost of the tile drain. Small
tile becomes easier clogged with the
sediment. In case the frost gets at 1t
n chips off some of the inside it
is the easier to fill up, especially
where the fall is sufficient to give con-
siderable current, which in turn
washes into one piece of tile the chips
from many. The larger tile carries
off the food water much more rapid
ly than the smaller tile and the
amount of air thus drawn into the
soil is considerable. The men that are
going to put in tile drains this COM
ing summer will do we'll to contract
only for large tile. Doubtless some of
the manufacturers or their agents
will have on hand small pore tile that
they will want to get rid of and will
make strenuous efforts to induce
farmers to buy. 1t will be we'll for
farmers in such cases to remember
that the other fellows are merely try
ing to unload" on them. Even a
large reduction in price should fail
to induce intelligent farmers to put
in a tile that will not do the best of
work,

sight of his fruit after it gets into the
han of the commission man. A good
system of cooperation would make
1T possible for him to follow his fruit to
the consumer. The abuses of delivery
of fruit will not cease till that can be
don AS it is, the honest fruit man is
plundered at every turn because he is
compelled to share with the dishonest
one in his reputation as well as in his
losses. The man that sends green
peaches to market is likely to get about
as good a reputation for them as the
mar that sends fairly good fruit, for
the reason that the two are often mixed
before reaching the consumer and the
latter gets two baskets of peaches each
with good peaches on top and green
ones in the bottom.

Growing Vegetables.

Frank Yohnke at the Wisconsin
Horticultural convention spoke on
growing vegetables for the local mar
ket. The first necessity is a home
market, and it is useless for a man to
attempt to grow vegetables hoping to
find or develop a market later. The
vegetable grower must grow all kinds
of vegetables and even small fruits,
and should also grow apples. The
ground for all early vegetables should
be prepared the fall before, and it is
useless to attempt to grow early vege-
tables on fresh manure
Q.-At what time should we plant
cabbage for winter use?
Al would set out the plants from
the middle to the 28th of June; but
some seasons are of such a character
that it is necessary to plant when the
opportunity presents itself.
Q.-How deep do you plow for cab
bage?
A.-For late cabbage I never plow
in the fall; but 1 put on the manure
as early in the spring as possible and
pillow it under. 1t will be well rotted
by the time the cabbage plants are
set.

may glance out at them on the street

that she can do SO without encounter

With the exception of Vermont, the
New Engand states are well supplied
with rainwater. Vermont has a fall
of only about 20 inches per year. The
r~ainfalls of the other states follow:
Maine, AZ to 80; Massachusetts, Az;
Rhode Island, 46 to so; Connecticut,
so. OF the middle states, Delaware has
the smallest fall-32 inches. In New
York the rainfall is from 38 to 45
inches, according to location; New
Jersey, AZ to 46; Pennsylvania, 81 to
AZ; Maryland, "A. The south Atlantic
and the gulf states are all well sup
piled with water, as the following
shows: Virginia, A to 81; West Vir-
ginia, 46; North Carolina, 81 to 50;
South Carolina, 81; Georgia, 48 to 80;
Florida, Sc to So; Mississippi, 81;
Louisiana, So to "a; Tennessee, 81 to
Sc; Kentucky, so; Alabama, SO to GA.
Texas has a good supply of water in
the eastern portion. it varying from
SO to as inches. Arkansas is well sup
piled for a state in it's latitude and
longitude, the annual rainfall being
from AZ to SO inches, according to To-
cation.
Southern Illinois has a rainfall of 43
inches, central Illinois a rainfall OF 40
inches and the northern part of the
state a rainfall of SO inches. Indiana
has a fall of As inches; Ohio a fall Of
from 81 to Al inches. The other west
ern states follow: Minnesota, 16 to 80;
Wisconsin, 80; Iowa, 81; Missouri, 3S
to 48; Kansas, 20 to SO; Oklahoma has
a fall Of about 81 inches. The rainfall
of the semi-arid states is as follows:
Idaho, 10; Wyoming, 8 to IL; Utah, 8
to IT,; North Dakota, IA to 10; South
Dakota, 81 to 81; Colorado, 8 to IA;
Nebraska, IL to 20; Arizona, 3 to 16;
New Mexico, 10 to II. The rainfall of
the Pacific states is as follows: Cali
fornia, IL to 25 inches, according to
location; Oregon. 9 to 40: Washington,
~ to 80; Nevada, 9. The District OF
Columbia has a fall of about A inches.
When a man is to go into farming
and intends to settle in some state
where the natural conditions will be
favorable, he should give due weight
to the question of rainfall. A fall Of
an inch per week is considered ideal
for agricultural operations, provided
the fall is fairly even in it's distribu-
ton throughout the year.

The house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce and the senate
committee on raval affairs have
reached different conclusions on the
subject of a Pacific cable. The house
committee has voted to report a bill
for the construction of a cable by a
private company from San Francisco
to Hawaii, the Philippines and Japan,
under a pledge that the government
shall pay the company not more than
$500, 600 a year for twenty years for
carrying its messages. The minority
of the house committee is in favor of
government construction of the cable,
and the senate committee has voted to
report a bill for government construc-
ton of a cable, but to extend to Ha-

A young freshman, while waiting
m day last autumn for a room to
be assigned to her in a college dormi-
tory, picked up an old newspaper and
read in it an editorial upon escape
from burning buildings. The sugges-
ton was there made that by once
thinking out a plan of action for an
emergency. the action itself would be-
come somewhat mechanical. The girl
laughingly said to herself that an
opera cloak would be a good thing to
nave near in case Of fire by night.
When she unpacked her trunk her
warm evening cloak was given a hook
near the closet door. She decided
alse that her night slippers might rea-
sonably be kept under the bed. A
lew weeks ago, on a bitterly cold
night, that very dormitory burned to
the ground. The young girl aroused
from sound sleep by the alarm, hal
only time to seize her cloak and slim
pers and fee for her life. Not an
other of her belongings was saysd.
Having to run some distance for shell
Ter, the wraps saved the girl from an
exposure which on such q night might
have been fatal.

Steel rails weighing eighty pounds to
the yard were first used upon railroads
in this country in 1883. Since that
time steel has practically superseded
iron as a track-building material, and
sthe weight of the rails has tended con-
.stantly to increase. Now one of the
great trunk lines is experimenting
with nickel steel, which is even more
expensive than steel, but which will
undoubtedly come into general use II
the claims made for it are justified.

quently happens that one city has such

get nothing out of it, while some other

shortages frequently exist in small
cities simply because too many grow

markets.
There is not a year when fruit is
produced in large quantities that a big

This is very largely due to lack of
system in shipping and selling. The
customer on the other hand does not

WORK DONE BY CONGRESS.

AsHINGToN, JUNE % 1900 The
last session Of Congress passed 1872 acts
which had been approved by the Presi-
dent up to and including the month of
May Many of these were of general
public interest and We're carefully con-
sidered by both Houses.
An act to define and fix the standard
of value to maintain the parity of all
forms of money issued or coined by the
United States, to refund the public
debt, and for other purposes, was the
first bill passed through the House of
Representatives and became a law on
March 18th last.
This bill is the most important of all
that became law during the session. 1t
places the finances of the country firm
ly on the gold standard No public
official can hereafter disparage any
dollar issued by the United States until
the Senate and House, with approval of
the President, shall concur in amending
this statute.
The bill also provides for the refund
ing of the national debt, amounting to
$3.50, 600, 900, into per cent bonds. Since
the passage Of the act this refunding
process has been constantly going on,
and now reaches about $3.50, 100000. AS
the old bonds bore interest at the rate
of 3, and 5 per cent the national saw
ing of interest on the bonds already re-
funded amounts to considerably more
than S5,00Q,OO0. This saving will nearly
equal the entire interest ON the $780,
100000, borrowed to pay the expense of
the Spanish war.
Should we succeed in refunding the
entire Indebtedness of eight hundred
a nd oft 10 Inx to Of 81
per cent. interest the national saving
terest on the Spanish war loan, but also
the interest on the 1922, 900, 600 of bonds
issued by the last administration in
time of peace.
Under the minor provisions of the
bill there has been great increase of
national banks of limited capital in the
smaller towns, particularly of the West
ern and Southern States.
Bills providing for the government of
the Hawaiian Islands and of Porto Rico,
after long consideration, have finally
become laws, while the bill for the gov
eminent of Alaska has been passed
The feature of the Porto Rican bill
which Occasioned most discussion is the
most liberal toward that island of any
ever incorporated into law. 1t provides
slight tariff on the products of that
country coming to the United States,
and also on products shipped from the
United States to Porto Rico, excepting
necessaries of life, all of which is turn
ed over to the treasury Of Porto Rico
for period of two years, or until local
taxation can be provided by the new
government. At the end of two years
trade between Porto Rico and the Unit
ed States becomes absolutely free.
Not only this; Congress has appropri-
ated all the revenue derived from goods
imported into the United States from
Porto Rico since the occupation, and
amounting to more that $4,000, 900, fol-
the benefit of the people Of that island.
