HOW TO LAY TILE.
Valuable Advice on a Subject That Is Not as We'll Understood as It
 Should Be.

Tile when properly placed in a
 ditch do not require a covering of small stones or gravel, and they will do better work if the regular soil is used for covering. Horseshoe tile are not as good for the purpose of drain ing as round tile. While they would be reasonably sure to stay in place if properly laid, they are not as eff cient as round tile The reason they are not as efficient is shown in the srbs baa.a'a small ata sa1n oE vatss<sssz IS flowing, 1t spreads out over the en- tire flat surface of the horseshoe tile,

FARM FORESTRY NOTES.
PIan Pursued by a Massachusetts Landowner Is of a Simple and
 Practical Nature

Only limited amount of practical work in thinning, trimming and care of farm woodland has been attempt ed in the east. Many of the plans de- scribed appear rather complicated to the average farmer and the forests are generally allowed to take care of themselves. The plan pursued by Ma thaniel Norton, of Plymouth county, Mass, is especially interesting as a study, even in the west, because of it's simple and practical nature. Ten years ago he bought 50 acres of mixed white pine and sprout oak. This tract he has managed by removing all the oak that interfered with or shaded the growing pines until the woodland has been transformed from miscel- laneous forest tract to valuable pine

 In many parts of this woodland the timber's bulk has doubled in seven years. The plan was to take out those oak that interfered with or shaded too much the young pines, leaving enough of them standing to encour- age the sprouting of pine seeds which came up in all parts of the ground without planting. The sprouts from oak stumps were pounded off in win ter when the stumps were frozen. MT. Morton does not wait for limbs to die before pruning, but begins to trim off the lower branches when the trees are five feet high, repeating the treatment when the trees increase in height. This plan keeps the branches from growing into the tim Der, It is found that quick healing is promoted by cutting the limb extremely close, so that the inner trunk bark on all sides is penetrated, making a scar about twice the diameter of the limb cut off.

It is not stated that this principle will apply to trees other than pine.
 The experience of MT. Morton indi- cates that about B years are re- quired to bring pines from seed to size suitable for lumber. Others al- low 45 years. The soil used by Mr. Morton is very light, with a sandy subsoil Trees 10 to 25 years old ap- pear to have made an average yearly gain in growth of wood of fully 100 per cent. The illustration shows a part of MT. Morton's tract, on which are pines about 50 years old. The for eign growth has been removed and the trees trimmed since owned by MT. Morton. The owner estimates that the wood on the lot paid for the ex- penses of removing the foreign growth. Bushes were kept moved at cost of about $50 for the entire per1od.-Orange Judd Farmer.

TWO MOST POPULAR TILES.

and there.is not enough depth of water to cause the removal of silt or sedi- ment which may accumulate. It is far more difficult to lay horseshoe tile and do good work than to lay round tile If the round tile does not make a tight joint with it's nelghbor, it may be turned until place is found where the joint is reasonably satis- factory If the horseshoe tile does not fit with it's neighbor, then the shov- el must be used and earth removed or filled in, as the occasion may require. If horseshoe tile are used, they will do better work if they are laid with the flat tile up, for then conditions as to the flow of water are produced which are more nearly like those present with the round tile. When round tile are laid it ia well. to lay a piece of common tarred building pa per over the joint before filling in with earth. No matter how tight the joint is made, there is always slight open ing, and there is possibility that soil may pass into the tile and obstruct the passage. After the tile are placed a small piece of building paper laid over the joint just before replacing the earth will insure against obstruc- tion. says L. A. Clinton, among some items of advice given in Country Gen. tleman.

 The first year the tree yields from | two to four ounces, twice that l amount the second year and at the third is in full bearing, producing about one and half pounds A pound per tree is considered an average crop. Tn tropical states the yield often runs to five pounds per tree. After the picking the coffee is dried and hulled. Where shipping facilities are good many foreign owned plantations are supplied with machinery for cleansing and hulling But in regions remote from rail- roads and steamboat lines the freight by burros and pack-mules is so high that old-fashioned processes only are employed.
 Petates, or straw mats, receive each days gathering of berries, which are spread out in thin layers. Next day, in the full sunshine, they are removed to the patio, or drying ground, where they are again spread out, being constantly stirred and turned over until perfectly dry, after which peons thresh them out by treading on them with bare feet, separating the husks. The berries are then pounded in a stone mortar Of course, this process bruises them somewhat and they are less regular ir appearance than those prepared on the plantations where machinery is used. After being pounded they are raised above the head of the cleaner and allowed to drop on mat, the chaff being famed away. The coffee is now put up in sacks containing from 15O to 200 pounds. Large amounts are shipped all over the world from Vera Cruz. While waiting for their coffee crop, many planters cultivate tropical fruits, sugar cane and tobacco, for which there is an increasingly good market. Many of these products may be raised along with the coffee.
 Except China, Mexico probably; has the cheapest labor in the world, but the peons are lazy, with exaggerated ideas of their own importance, and the importation of Chinese labor bids fair to crowd them into the background, for although the peons compare favorably enough with the blacks of our southern states and the West Indies, their work marks a poor showing beside that of the in- dustrious Chinaman, who never asks for day off and works for small remuneration. A Mexican peon would ra fhAr half Starvo in tho xuoryr, u,,,, shine on 8 feast day than work. Our coffee imports from Mexico are in creasing largely each year, with prices firm. EDWARD JULIAN.

TALK ABOUT COFFEE.
The Worlds First Supply Came
 from Araby the Blest.

%HERE has been probably no
 greater factor in our civiliZa-
 tion than the development of railways in the different parts of the world. To them we are indebted for the cheapness of many articles regard ed by us as common necessities, by our forefathers as luxuries, while 200 years ago they were almost unknown to Europeans. Among them is the coffee found upon nearly every break fast table. During CromwelPs time the first coffee house was abolished in London by man who had brought some of the berries from Arabia, to the delight of his friends and patrons. Arabia may be said to be divided into three parts, one of stones, another of sands and deserts, while the third, Happy Arabia, "Araby the Blest," is a land of gardens, olive trees and vine yards. Here is Yemen, from which all the civilized world at first obtained its coffee supply. Mocha, the chief town, stands on sandy seashore, at the entrance to the Red sea, by the treacherous strait of Babel Mandeb. Prices for the berry were so very high that the different nations turned their attention to coffee raising in their various colonies. France first sent plants to the West Indies. Brazil now exports nearly sufficient Amount to supply the world. It is said that in, that country from five to ten times as many pounds of corn or wheat might be raised to the acre as of coffee, if the laborers were adapted to eultivating those crops.
 Coffee has grown wild in Ceylon from the earliest times. Natives mixed the leaves with their food and decorated their temples with the flow CTS hundreds of years before they found any use for the berries. In a natural state the plant grows tall, but

 Journey, as the natives do, to those in- terior districts which constitute an earthly paradise. Here one may un- derstand the dolce far niente of the population, and it requires supreme effort of the will to tear oneself away. When a resident in this land, one read fly comprehends those strange mar riages with native beauties which can never be understood in the outside world. This is the genuine land of "manana," 8 tomorrow which never arrives.
 Although the cultivation of coffee was introduced among these people over a hundred years ago it has never been in high favor with them as bev- craze, the Mexicans, as rule, prefer ring chocolate, which is indigenous to the soil. A native, more than any thing else, enjoys his chocolate, unless he desires something which will inc bEiate as we'll as cheer, when he is most apt to indulge in pulque, a liquor made from the cactus, which if imbibed to any great extent bruta1izes the fac ulties. To it's use is attributed the de- graded condition of the peons of the country. From these people of mixed blood, more Indian than any

When he got home that Eight, she

"For heavens sake what has hap

Without word she led the way into

cushioned couch oriental draperies had
been dispersed artistically with spears
and armor, forming beautiful. cozy

in the center.

II had grown tired waiting for you to
do it. and the decorators wanted $50"
He seated himself luxuriously among

"How on earth did you manage 1t

miration and wonder. he knew just
how it was done. He had always had
to put 1t up himself before this.
"Oh, just piece of lead pipe, few
tacks and a paper Of plns! she said
simply, yet proudly. II only fell off
the stepladder twice."
There were almost tears in his voice
when he spoke. 1t really touched him
to see her standing there bandaged like
a broken down race horse. Besides
that, no one knew how he had dreaded
