HOW TO MAKE A BOARD DRAIN.

" in these places that wood can be OBJ
tanned more cheaply.
Wood is more enduring when laid in
? drain than is generally supposed.
Hemlock, which is of but little durable
.ty above ground, is still doing service
in drain which was made 1s years
ago. A well-laid drain of rived chest
aut or cypress will last almost life
time. White oak and locust are also
very durable In fact, almost any kind
Of wood will last we'll in deep drain.
There are no blows to disturb 1t, and it
will preserve an opening for the flow
ef water long after decay has set in.
a board six inches in width should be
nailed to one five inches in width and
aid along the bottom of She drain, as
At A in Fig. 1. If the boards are rived
and there are narrow ones, the mar
cow ones may be nailed over two 9TH
srs, as shown at b.
The ditch need not be over spades
width on the bottom. In depth it
should average two tothree feet. The
deeper the drain, the farther it will
draw the water, but it is not advisable
to GO so deep where there is heavy
LAY s.lbsoil. Drains will do better
service after two or three years, as
the ground gets more porous.
In laying the boards have them fit
closely and cover any holes with thin
pieces of wood so the dirt cannot work
n. BE sure to stop up the outlet with
coarse wire screening, to keep out rats,
rabbits, etc. Board drains need no
plank on the bottom of the ditch,
neither do they need any straw or hay
on top of the boxes.
Butt is important to get the grade
Vt the bottom ofthe ditch uniform, and
It will pay to take some pains with it.
A drain should not have steep grade
followed by one not so steep. fit is
the reverse it will not matter, but in
the former case the water, flowing
with some rapidity, will scour and car
ey with it some silt. Coming to Sec
lion of lesser fall, the flow is retarded
and the silt deposited, causing the
drain to stop up. Three inches to 100
feet of drain is about the least fall
that is practicable to give to board
drains.
Where it is not desirable to get the
services of an engineer to lay out q
drain, the farmer may find out what
he has got by using the common spirit
level, and then he can finish the bot
tom of the ditch with device have
shown at the bottom of Fig. i. Take a
straightedge 1917 feet long and fix to
it another straightedge movable at
one end. If the two edges are made
to be one-half of one inch farther apart
at one end than the other and one end
eve1ed by spirit level the other edge
will correspond to fall of four inches
per 100 feet. The movable end can be
SO attached as to be quickly adjusted
to represent any fall desired. For
small drabs where there is plenty Of
.all the ditcher can do we'll enough
with his spade and eye; but in longer
drains with little fall the assistance of
some kind Of instrument is required,

The Cow which Pays Best.

During the five years of careful in

production of butter between COWS
spare and angular in form and COWS

instance the COW that carried the
east flesh charged the least for but

was little smoother and plumper
than the other would her butter
product cost more than the other. 1t
should be borne in mind that the re-

NUTRITION IN FOODS.
Some Popular Theories Exploded b.
Investigations Of the Agricul.
tural Department..

Recent experiments of the depar.
ment of agriculture show that fruits
in general contain remarkably little
stuff that is convertible, when eaten
into muscle and blood. Bananas and
grapes have about two per cent.
while apples, cherries, strawberries
blackberries, cranberries, lemons anG
oranges are able to lay claim to only
one per cent.-this, too, when skins
and seeds are put aside. On this ac.
count, such articles of diet are obyi.
ously i'll adapted to sustain human
life, though they possess great medic
inal value and contribute much ia
health.
Fruits are, however, relatively rich
in sugar and starch, and hence are
useful as fuel to keep the body ma.
chine going. Bananas have ~ per
cent. of these materials, grapes 81
per cent, apples 16 per cent, cherrie.
and cranberries II per cent, oranges
nine per cent, lemons eight per cent
and strawberries seven per cent. In
this case, as before, only the edible
Pun GASAS uiS SOlSIueiSu. DlaCkDeFFles
and grapes have two per cent. of fat
and the other fruits mentioned con.
tain one per cent. Watermelon pulp
is 90 per cent. water.
Among vegetables Lima beans Lave
the highest food value, containing 81
per cent. of nutrients. Sweet pota.
toes come next, with 90 per cent,
green peas next with % yer cent.
white potatoes next with 81 per cent
and string beans next with 10 per
cent. Green sweet corn has 10 per
cent. of nutrients, beets 10 per cent.
turnips ii per cent, cabbage, cauli-
flower and spinach eight per cent,
eggplant and lettuce seven per cent,
tomatoes and asparagus six per cent,
and cucumbers four per cent. Dry
beans or rice are about the most eco
nomical of foods one can buy, con.
tanning as they do SIS per cent. of solid
nutriment.
Fish has very high food value, in
fact, is very nearly as nutritious as
chicken or turkey. A pound of eggs,
on the other hand, yields only half as
much nourishment as pound of lean
beef, Notwithstanding well-known
popular theory.

THE WINDSOR BEAN.
It Is a standard Variety, hut Grown
with More Success In Europe
Than in This Country.

This is the "bean of history" or
that which was earlier cultivated.
This bean grows erect, about 2M feet
high, has square, reddish stem, and
the leaves are made up Of oval leaf
lets. The pods are broad, thicker
at the end and generally curved and
pendant, containing thiclish, bullying
seeds. Several varieties are grown

Care Of Plant. in Pots.

Disease OF plants in pots is some-
times due to accumulation of acid in
the soil. Placing the plants in new,
fresh earth is one of the remedies,
but as some plants will not bear re-
moval the use of hot water is resorted
20. First stir the soil as deep as it
can be done, and pour water at tenn
perature of 40 degrees on the earth
in the pot until it runs off clear from
the bottom. AT the beginning the wa
ter will be clear; then brown, and then
clear again. The sickly plants will
be invigorated, and will soon show evil
dences of improvement. Keep the
plants in warm location until the
soil becomes somewhat dry again.
