The work Of the coolies is by no

are always taken to have the pole bal

weight. and in this way the task is
much simplified. The weight of the
coolies themselves is also taken into
account. and there are cogs by means

the subsoil should be moist. and doubt
less it is inferior to the methods en-

II has the advantage of being entirely

DRAINAGE OF MARSHES.
Simple Method That Hes bees suc-
cessfully Tried At the Wisconsin
Experiment station.

In Holland IL is no unusual thing to
drain marshes by means of windmills.
A very large area of lowlands is In
that country kept free from water by
the incessant action of pumps worked
by windmills. In some cases the
canals are very long and are utilized
by the assistance of succession of
these engines. AT the end of one canal
will be a windmill, the duty of which
is to pump the water into another
canal just little higher than the first.
That canal carries the water to an
other, also ended by dam with a
windmill. The process is continued
till the water falls at last into canal
that takes it to the sea.
At the Wisconsin experiment sta
tion there has been a somewhat sini-
lar system in operation for num-
Der of years. A piece of land several
acres in extent was formerly covered
with water, being below the level of
Lake Mendoza. The authorities at the
station ran a dixie across the part of
the swamp near the lake and dug a
ditch on the lake side as well as on
the land side. Near the middle OF this
dixie "sump" was dug. \ sump is
a reservoir for holding drainage water.
Into this sump bitches drain the water
from the swamp. Between the sump
and dixie a windmill was erected and
pumping connections placed. The plan
worked and still works to perfection.
The windmill easily keeps the water
drained olt of the sump, and into the
sump the swamp drains itself nat
urally.
Prof. Henry told the writer that
he was warned not to attempt the
reclamation of this land. Opponents
of the scheme argued that If the water
were once pumped out of the sump
il would quickly seep back again from
the lake-that in fact this seepage
would be so extensive along the hun
dreds of feet of dixie that II would
render his work futile. But he knew
better, having before him the example
of like operations in other countries.
The event proved the method right.
There has been practically no seepage,
and for much of the time the windmi
is idle. natural processes of evapora-
ton taking care of all surplus water.
Last week when the writer visited
the sump. the windmill was still. and
the ground was dry, while only little
distance away the waves ofLake Men
dota beat on the soil. The scheme has
in II great possibilities. and is certain

Mysteries of the Soil,

The mysteries locked up in the soil
are only slowly being made plain.
Year by year, decade by decade, CEN
tury by century, the work goes on.
In all civilized lands are scientists
applying themselves to the problems.
Chemists, botanists, biologists and
geologists all find in this quarter
room enough for their labors. And
the farmer has need of all this kind
of help he can get. To nearly every
cultivator of the soil to-day, as in the
past, the thing he cultivates is an un-
known factor. He knows it is sandy
or clayey, wet or dry, rich or poor,
but those things are but the begin
ming of wisdom.

Conditions.

In India simple yet effective method
of irrigation has long btt in vogue,
but only recently has 1t attracted the
attention Of foreigners.
The apparatus consists of long.
clumsily fashioned balancing pole,
which is fastened at the middle to the
fork Of a tree. At one end Of this
primitive balance, which Is as stout as
an ordinary beam, is fixed another long
pole, the lower end of which is sunk
into well and carries large vessel
made of baked clay. At the opposite
end of this pole are two coolies, who
are constantly in motion and thus
form living counter balance.

great strides over this narrow path

SHRINKAGE OF GRAIN.
Resuits of Elaborate Experiments at
Various Experiment stations
Prove Instructive.

Wheat fiuctuates in weight accord
ing to the dryness of the air. The
extent of this variation under ordi-
nary conditions does not exceed six
per cent, but where the grain is
taken from an intensely dry climate
to comparatively damp one the gain
may amount to 25 per cent. Oats
stored in the fall lost in one instance
over three per cent. by the following
May, less than two per cent. in the
second instance and exactly two per
cent. in the third, and in the fourth
lost but seven pounds in 100 bushels.
Corn, when the entire plant is stored
in the silo, suffers very considera BILE
loss in weight. AS an average of four
tests this loss amounted to sag per
cent. In other cases the loss varies
from 1887 to 2O.36 per cent. When
the entire plant is cured in the field
subsequent variations in weight are
determined by the dryness Of the air
At the Connecticut station, where
27.36 tons of corn were cut Septem.

Intelligent Crop Rotation.

An intelligent crop rotation should
always be selected and vigorously ad-
hered to upon every farm, but no iron
rule can be laid down that will apply
to all cases. However, some crop Of
the leguminous family should as rule
come into crop rotation once in five
or six years, as 1t possesses the power
of restoring the fertility to the soil
in degree that no other crop does.
Most leguminous crops are paying in
themselves and they aid greatly in
keeping up the nitrogen supply in the
soil, without going to the expense OF
buying It in commercial fertilizer.
Some varieties OF clover, COW peas, sofa
beans, etc, will usually succeed well
enough to warrant raising.-Agricul-

Joseph Made Overseer of Potiphar's
House.-From this lesson we may
CLEAN all the main elements in Joseph's
character, and the story furnishes a
striking illustration for the young Of
the means whereby honorable success
may be won. Those who persistently
attribute all material success to luck
may find luck in the career of Jo-
seph. At the same time, taking into
consideration all of the adverse cir
cumstances, and the conduct of the
average man in the premises, IL may
be safely said that the element of luck
was entirely eliminated 1t is true
that he was the son of a rich man, but
was a slave in a foreign land. What
he had to his credit was an illimita BILE
adaptability to circumstances, what.
ever they we've. 1t must have taken
persistence and minute care for de-
tails to have been able to administer
the affairs of Potiphar, who was in all
probability a very wealthy man, and
who left all that he had in Joseph's
hand; and he knew not aught he had,
save the bread he did eat" Then, too,
Joseph had comeliness of form and fea.
ture. Add to all of these the divine
(or religious) element, and we have
the character of Joseph. He was
Cody man, and to say this means that
God was very real and very personal in
Joseph's conception. The reality Of
God to Joseph adds to and explains
every other element of his character.
Joseph Refuses to Yield to Tempta-
tion.--One of the striking things about
Bible narratives is the fact that no
words are minced over the temptations
and weak points of all its characters.
| Their sins are laid bare in all their hid
eousness, and we see them in the hour
of temptation. Some of the men who
left a stronger impress on Jewish his
tory than Joseph played a miserable
part at times. Joseph's honor was q
little finer than that of the early Bible
times. He said: How can I do this
great wickedness, and sin against
God?"
Joseph in Trouble.-Woman's love
thwarted often turns to hate, so Jo-
seph on Potiphar's return found him
self in prison. Not now a mere slave,
but in chains, charged with great
crime.
Prospers Even in Prison.-But Jc.
seph couldn't be in trouble long. God
was with him, and the story of. his
success in Potiphar's house was re.
peated in prison to such marked de.
gree that we are told he had charge OF
the other prisoners, "and whatsoever
they did there, he (Joseph) was the
doer of it,"

was "a dreamer" but his dreams didn't
interfere to any great extent with his
practical duties. In fact, his dream,
gave him one great advantage. The
Egyptians were great people fol

To Joseph these were the voice OF
God. BY means of his own dreams h,
came into sympathetic touch with the
