lnsttute.)
N. e. Becker spoke on tile drainage.
In part he said:
The changes in the soil caused by
draining are manifold. Plants are not
SO easily killed by severe frosts in
winter, because the ground is left more
dry and porous. 1t allows cultivation
earlier in the spring, and all through
the year after heavy rains. 1t causes
the soil to sooner obtain certain
warmth in such degree that on SINH
lar kinds of soil a location from two
to three hundred miles southwark
would not be better. 1t keeps the soil
more porous and mellow, because 1t
will never be fully saturated with
water, which would cause 1t to bake
like brick If very dry weather fol-
lows heavy rains.
1t gives more effect to manure and
therefore insures better crops, and a
greater variety of plants and cereals
may be raised on so drained lands.
On my own farm the first drain was
laid in 1887, and many more since that
time. The first ones were laid, of
course, where we thought they would
be most beneficial. Every year ever
since they have proved to be so.
Where in wet seasons nothing would
grow but weeds, the very best crops
have been raised ever since.
On most every farm there are de-
pressions and little wales, where in the
first days of seeding time in the spring
the ground is too wet; after they are
drained they are much drier in the
spring than those parts that lie much
higher. Marshland, with a layer Of
peat to depth of three feet or more
should not be drained If the water
is tapped off from such ground, hard
ly anything but weeds and a poor
crop of grass will grow. Keep all the
water in such land-but the surface
should not be covered by water-for
big crop of even poor marsh hay is
more valuable than small crop of
hay Of still poorer quality.
Land with a subsoil Of gravel re-
Quires no draining, but l have seen
sandy land drained to good advantage.
In clay soil, black muck and such,
draining proves most beneficial In
the eastern part of the county l live
in (Ozaukee) the subsoil is red clay,
which is almost impervoius to water.
1t finds no way out and therefore the
ground at times is fully saturated with
water, and on such soil draining
proves to be of great Importance and
value.

are engaged in the fruit business esti-

900 lbs. of prunes still on hand of last

whole surplus can be marketed at not

thought that the surplus can be placed
in foreign markets at small differen-

age was coming in, but the association
was still much short of the necessary
percentage.

dry regions. The plants form soft
sod, covered by two or three inches
of soft, cushion-like foliage. The plant
spreads by runners or PROSTATE stems,
which creep along the ground, roofing
at intervals. The seeds are produced
in little hard clusters near the ground
among the leaves. The plant grows
readily from the seed. 1t cures natur-
ally and furnishes sustenance for stock
upon the range. There is no doubt
that at an earlier period buffalo grass
extended much farther east than at
present. When the prairies were
tramped by countless herds OF buffalo,
all the grasses except this and grama-
grass were prevented from establish
ing themselves upon the uplands.

RECREATION AND HEALTH.

eral Springs. Indiana.
Like the young man In springtime,
whose fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love" when summertime comes We
all turn our thoughts to the consider
ation of the important question Of
where we shall go for rest, recreation
and health.
There are all kinds of health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
land of ours, some of them, unfortu-
nately, anything but what their names
imply, and apparently operated for no
other purpose than to relieve the in
valid and pleasure seeker, financial
ly. So much so is this the case that
it is indeed gratifying to the one seek
ing rest and recuperation from the
cares of the business and social world,
as we'll as the pain racked invalid,
who is fortunate enough to discover a
place where to use a popular express
sion, he gets his moneys worth"
One of the most interesting, pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unQuestlonably the resort
known as the 'Magno Mud and Lithia
Water Cure. located at Indiana Nine
raj Springs, Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee of society and the profess
sional man on the verge of nervous
prostration, as well as the sufferer
from rheumatism, kidney and skin
diseases for which the baths are es-
pecially beneficial. The place is also
largely patronized by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, its loca-
ton making it particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
tic and beautiful spots and places Of
interest in the vicinity and 1t would
be hard to find a section OF country
containing so many beautiful drives.
The country is very hilly. but the
roads are all graveled and kept in
good condition. This is one of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive TO those afflicted with rheu-
matism, as driving is about the only
pleasure one crippled with
rheumatism can indulge in. Some of
the cures effected are really marvel
ous and many who have gone to the
Magno Mud Cure as last resort have |
home within a few weeks |
filed with renewed health and |
strength.

Prof. Shaw: Why should it be
looked upon as an impossible thing to
secure stamina the best and breeding
and feeding qualities the best? There
is no inherent antagonism between
these. 1t is when either is carried to
an extreme that the other differs.
Even in the corn belt Berkshires can
be given the highest order of stamina

throughout our country to improve
the stamina of our people. 1t is i'm

horticultural observations.

Reports from large buyers OF fruit
are to the effect that very few fruit men
pick, pack or sort their fruit properly.
When fruit is to be shipped long dis
tances to market 1t is very necessary
that only the best fruit be sent, as the
cost of transporting poor fruit is as
great as the good fruit This becomes
leading principle when fruit is
shipped across the Canadian border
and has to pay duty. If it is not first
class fruit the Canadian buyers do not
find profit in the transaction, and are
not likely to again seek the American
producer
Like many other fruits, the Kieffer
pear has its fast friends and its I'M
compromising enemies. The conflicts
over it remind one of those that have
taken place over the Ben Davis apple.
But the Kieffer is very valuable pear
for several reasons. 1t is good in
quality when it is rightly handled;
that is, allowed to properly ripen. 1t
is deceptive fruit, and looks ripe be-
fore it has attained that point in its
existence. 1t must be allowed to lie
for some time after 1t is picked, some
times for weeks, before Its flavor is
developed. Then it becomes a good
fruit for all purposes.
The new Fruit Growers Association
of California is making an attempt to
do away with some of the obstacles
that have always been in the path OF
the fruit producers. About 70 per cent
of the fruit grown in the state is un-
der the control of the association. All
the growing, packing and selling are
to be done in the most approved ways.
Members are not to pack or crate their
fruit. The men that do this work are
experts. II the association holds to-
gether, it will doubtless compel the
other fruit growers in the state to
pack their fruit better, as otherwise
the association would take the entire
field, at least so far as desirable mar
kets are concerned.
