A New Industry.

A new and profitable industry has
sprung up around the banks of many
of the ponds and salt lakes in this part
of the state. The common cattail,
which grows in profusion in the
marshy grounds near the waters edge.
has become valuable article of COM
merce and sells at the lake for cent
4 pound. The cattails have largely su-
perseded wool cotton and hair for mat
tresscs and upholstery and are said to
be admirable substitutes. while they
cost far less than the materials men
toned. The boys who gather the once
worthless weeds are paid a cent Il
pound for them. and since the 1st Of
March over ten tons of the commodity
have been gathered and paid for at
Syracuse or Turkey Lake. The de-
mand far exceeds the supply and is in
creasing. QndD News.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, giving

in Indian Territory: In our baptis-
NAL service we sign those who are bap-

explains, 'and when the little girl re-
turned to school after the baptism, the

tions, desiring to know what that man
with the 'nightgown' on had done, and
If she We're now any different from
what she had been before. She tried
to tell them that she had been made
u member of Christ, the child Of God,
and an inheritor of the kingdom OF
heaven but did not succeed in express
ing the situation very well, and they
pressed her for n clearer explanation.
Finally. when she had exhausted ev-

her eyes flashing through her tears.

When 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 its distribu-
tion throughout the year.

Size of Drain Tile.

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 en-
inch, 3-inch and 3h-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 fIle
smaller than 4-inch. The movement
Is step In advance. It costs Just as
much to dig a ditch for a 3-inch tile
as for a 4-inch, and that is the pr,h-
cipal cost of the tile drain. Small
tile becomes easier clogged with the
sediment. In case the frost gets at it
and chips of 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
OF the flood 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 bore 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 tile that will not do the best of
work.
Pure bred stock has always been
encouraged by the Canadian govern
ment. One special statute provides
for the shipment OF all pure-bred live
