There was lawyer in the Indian

and receipt for it duly demanded
"A receipt isn't necessary" the law

and the attorney finally demanded his
reason. "S;ace becoming a Christian

SCIENCE IN FARMING.
It Has HELPED to Make Vast Tracts
of worthless Soil Veritable
Garden Spots.

Science is the best ally of agricul-
ture, as has been frequently demon
strated. A case in point is an exam
ina ton into the cause of unproductiVe-
ness in some of the so-ealled "black
soils" of Indiana. In central and
northern Indiana there are black
humus soils known as bogus" In a
good many cases these were found in
places that had formerly been the
beds of ponds or else were once
marshes nearly always covered with
water. The water disappeared long
ago, leaving the land in a condition
that made it possible to work it. 1t
was asserted by the unskilled and pop
ularly believed that these lands con-
tanned alkali to degree that made it
impossible to grow upon them any
kind of crop. Scientists went to work
to ascertain the real facts. A chem
zeal analysis was made and showed
that the soil had none of the charac-
teristics of alkali soil Some of the
land was plowed and mixed with
kainit and cut straw. This certainly
improved the drainage, and crops be-
gan to grow. In short, it was found
that drainage was the key to the situ-
alton. Further investigation and cx-
pertinent demonstrated that if sys-
tenn of drainage were put in to tap the
water-bearing gravel underly ing the
humus soil and to lower the water
level to at least 40 inches the cause
of the productiveness would be re-
moved and permanent improvement
would result.
Thus the real difficulty was found
to be the high permanent water level.
In some of the soils examined tile had
been laid at the usual depth in the
humus layer of soil without any i'm
provement resulting, due to the factv
that the pores and joints of the tile
had been closed by the muck. Under
lying the humus layer at a depth of
five feet or more was a bed of sand or
gravel Immediately overlaid by a thin
bed of clay mud and carrying a strong
flow of water. When holes were dug
down to this layer the water usually
rose to within at least 30 inches of the
surface. 1t is very easy then to see
that if the permanent water level
was so high the level during wet pc
RODS must be so high as to render the
growth of most plants very difficult.
When we remember that most plants
root deeply we can easily see how i'm
oortant is the question of water level

Narrating The Anecdotal Side of
Bishop Brooks" a writer tells that
soon after Bishop Trooks' consecra-
ton he attended a church convention
and took his seat in the house of bish-
ops instead of, as formerly, in the
lower house, composed of the clergy
and laity The lower house is much
more interesting in its debates and
discussions, the upper house attend
ing primarily to heavier matters and
it's work being largely distributed
among COMMITTEES. bishop Brooks
had been sitting a long time during
one of the sessions with nothing to

door. This is to be used in winter
and stormy weather. as by leaving
the door open rain and snow would
blow in. A board floor we find most
satisfactory as it is easier cleaned
and keeps out all animals.
We find that lean-to shed at one
end of the door of the coop facing
the south will furnish a warm, sunny
place for the fowls to scratch and ex-
ercise in on the coolest days of win
ter. In this shed we keep sand,
gravel and straw. In this straw we
throw grain in order to keep the
chickens active.
Our scratching shed is made of
poles and old straw or hay. In the
winter we set posts, and put up a
frame to hold straw packing and
make a wall of the straw around the
two sides and back of the coop. This
will make the coop warm. Over the
front we tack building paper, as a
window protection, instead of put
ting in straw. L. Irwin, in Ohio

FOR A DOZEN FOWLS.
Handy Coop Designed Along Modern
Lines and Suitable for All Parts
of the Country.

When the farm poultry consists of
only a hundred or so fowls, it will
pay TO keep breeding pen of some
dozen fowls of the best stock from
which to get eggs for Matching. A
fine lot of chickens can thus be Sc
cured. Where this is done it will be
necessary to keep the breeding fowls
from the rest of the flock. Our coop
is 6x5 feet, SO feet high in front, and
AZ behind.
In the front side is a door two feet
wide, and a window. This window is
hinged at the top to provide for ven
tilation in summer. A screen placed
over the window opening on the in
side viii prevent the fowls from
breaking the glass and will keep out
night providers when the window is
raised. There is an opening a foot
wide extending across the back of the
coop. This opening is closed by one
foot board hinged at the top. This
opening, too, is covered with screen
wire. Beneath the window or beside
the large door we have a small open
ing large enough to let fowl pass in
and out. This is closed with a slide

NOTES FROM THE PARIS EX-
POSITION.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very ereditable exhibit, To-
Gated in Group XIII, Class 70, at the
Paris international Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that it
was favorably commented upon by Wis
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
International Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
distinction of absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
ternational Jury at the Worlds CO.
lumbar Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received 81 distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine, we would re-
specially advise that they call at any
of the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns in
the United States"

A LAWYERS READY ANSWER.
In which He Reelected Credit Upon
His Client as Well an
Himself.

An eminent lawyer, one Of the most en-
inent in the United States, was in the midst
of an argument before the supreme court IN
defense of the patent rights OF his client to
q new-fangled collar button that was being
unlawfully manufactured by the people on
the other side of the case. The dIstln-
guished counsel was describing the patent
referred to, and its many advantages, says
the Kansas City journal, when Judge
Shiras interrupted him, and, in most seri-
Gus manner, observed
II should like to ask the learned counsel
If his client manufactures collar button
that won't roll under the bed.
OF course the court was shocked. Some
young people in the seats reserved for spec
tators Uttered, and the marshal, rapping on
his desk with his gavel, roared: Silence in
this honorable COURT" The eminent coun-
sci maintained his gravity, although his
soul must nave been deeply stirred, and
had presence of mind enough to turn the in
cident to his own advantage, saying with
emphasis:
II have the honor to inform the court
that the collar button manufactured by
my client 10 unique in that as well as IN
other respects, but my client would not be
so selfish as to patent so important a bene-
fit to mankind
