HOW TO MAKE A BOARD DRAIN.

in. 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.
But it is important to get the grade
of the bottom of the 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. If it is
the reverse it will not matter, but in
the former case the water, flowing
with some rapidity, will scour and car
ry with it some silt. Coming to Sec
ton 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 a
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 I have
shown at the bottom of Fig. 1. Take a
straightedge 1919 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
leveled by spirit level the other edge
will correspond to fall of four inches
per 100 feet. The nova BILE end can be
so attached as to be quickly adjusted
to represent any fall desired. For
small drains where there is plenty of
fall the ditcher can do well enough
with his spade and eye; but in longer
drains with little fall the assistance of
some kind of instrument is required.

No convincing proof has yet been
given that any particular portion OF
the brain is exclusively concerned in

the dwindling band who still refuse

little tricks and peculiarities had
been studied for months before the
operation, was entirely unaffected
All it's traits remained unaltered.

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.
TIE symptoms. DiRerent Passes axl
Treatment Of This Annoying
Affection.

While an attack Of acute bronchi-
tbs in adult life is usually of brief
duration and of little gravity, it's re-
peated occurrence is to be dreaded as
possibly leading to the much more
serious chronic form. This form oc.
ours for the most part in persons be-
yond middle life, says Youths Com
panion.
It may supervene upon an acute at
tack which has been neglected, or il
may come on more gradually after a
succession of such attacks, each one
adding little to the bronchial irri-
tation left behind by it's predecessor.
until the actual disease is fully es-
tablished. Subjects of the so-called
uric-acid diathesis are very prone to
suffer from chronic bronchitis, and
so are persons with heart and kid
ney disease, and hard drinkers.
The two main symptoms of chronic
bronchitis are cough and more or
less profuse expectoration. The ex-
pectoration varies constantly in diff
ferent cases, and in the same case at
different times. In some cases it is
rather scanty and sticky, and the ef-
fort to expel it results in frequent
ana violent paroxysms of coughing,
quite resembling whooping-cough. In
other cases the secretion in the bron'
CHA tubes is watery and easily ex'
PEELED, but is formed in such guam
tity that the cough is almost inces'
SAINT.
Pain is seldom complained Of, but
shortness of breath is quite common,
even at the beginning, and is con-
slant in the later stages of the dis
ease. At first this difficulty in
breathing is noted only on exertion,
but later it is habitual and become
asthmatic in character. It is the re-
suit, usually, of dilatation of the air
cells in the lungs caused by the
strain of coughing. "a.
Chronic bronchitis, like all other
catarrhal affections, is much less
troublesome in summer than in win
ter, and in those who live much in
the open air than in the house-bound
From this simple observation may be
drawn the lesson that the best rem
edy for bronchitis is pure air. This
is generally conceded in the case OF
consumption, but the world-even
the medical worlds slower to rec
ognize that an abundance of oxygen
pure airs equally essential to the
cure of bronchitis and other chronic
diseases OF the organs of respiration
The good result is due not only to
the improvement in general health
but also to the direct effect of the
oxygen upon the diseased bronchial
membrane.
The patients should pay great at
tention to the care of the skin by
cold or cool bathing, friction, and Sc
forth, should dress warmly, and
should change damp clothing imme'
diately on entering the house.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Butter that is covered with salt
crystals is not desirable.
The large udder doesn't always give
assurance of heavy mixer.
If the friction is too violent, the
butter is produced speedily and is de-
fcient in quality.
The flow of milk should be main
tanned as uniform as possible while
the COW is in milk. d.
Cream will make better butter
when it rises in cold air than when it
rises in cold water.
No matter how good the cows in the
herd the bull should be good enough
to improve the progeny.
In making good butter quite as
many difficulties lie in the care of the
milk as in the mode of churning.
To rush cows into the stable from
the pasture night or morning, is to
excite them sufficiently physically to
heat their milk to a feverish point,
quickly undermining its quality.
The Importance of producing on the
farm butter of the highest excellence,
fit to compete with the creamery
product, seems to be often disregard
ed, or perhaps the undertaking is con-
sidered too difficult of attainment.
This is largely through lack of knowl-
edge of details.

LAYING BOARD DRAINS.
In Some Localities and In Cefta'A
Conditions They Are Almost ~
Good ~ Tile.

While tile is the standard material
for drains, it quite often happens that
tile drain does not do so well as one
would expect from SO expensive an
outlay. In soft ground they will some
times get out of line or sink into the
mud. At places the line OF the dram
will some times come above the frost
line. At such places and at the outlet
freezing will cause the tile to crum'
BILE, in time, unless they are vitrltled,
which adds greatly to their cost. A
tile drain is no more exempt from
trouble with roots, silt or vermin than
is one made of boards. In sections re-
mote from tile yards freights add so
much to, the cost of tile that their use
is almost prohibited, but it is especial
ly 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 durabil-
ity above ground, is still doing service
in a drain which was made 10 years
ago. A well-laid drain of rived chest
nut or cypress will last almost life
time. White oak and locust are also
very durable. In fact, almost any kind
of wood will last well in deep drain.
There are no blows to disturb it, and it
will preserve an opening for the flow
of water long after decay has set in.
A board six inches in width should he
nailed to one five inches in width and
laid along the bottom of the drain, as
at A in Fig. 1. If the boards are rived
and there are narrow ones, the mar
row ones may be nailed over two 9th
ers, as shown at B.
The ditch need not be over spades
width on the bottom. In depth it
should average two to three feet. The
deeper the drain, the farther it will
draw the water, but it is not advisable
to 60 so deep where there is heavy
clay subsoil. 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

Home Market for Fruit.

To secure home market for fruits,
which, by the way, is the very best
market that can be had, we must grow
the best fruit, of the best varieties
that can be had, pick and handle the
same with the greatest care, grade and
pack honestly in new, clean baskets
or packages and place it on the mar
ket while it is fresh. It should be re-
membered, however, that the home
market has it's limitations and in an
exclusive fruit district other markets
must be sought. The same rules in re-
gard to picking and packing hold good
in any case, and it is only by fair deal
ing that the fruit grower is to succeed,
whether he supplies local or distant
markets.-National Rural.

Getting Rid of Milk Germs.

We see that some eastern man thinks
he has found a way of getting rid of
all kinds of bacteria in milk. His plan
is simply to freeze it, and he fondly
imagines that the germs of disease and
of every kind of ferment are to be
thus exterminated. If the gentleman
will look the matter up he will find
that very severe tests have been made
in the way of freezing germs to death,
but without much result. True, good
many germs are destroyed, but they
are for the most part those in which
we have no interest, being harmless.
The. disease germs are those for which
we care most, and they are the hardest
to exterminate. Heat is about the only
agent that will touch most Of them

Jim Henley, 3 D
Remittance Man
BY WILLIAM MCLEOD
Copyright, 1901, by Authors syndicats.)

TIM HENLEY, manager and part
owner of the Bar z cattle ranch,
got his first sight of the new teacher
at the Half Way house just after he
had recovered from one of his period
ical sprees. He was riding along
gloomily with his cayuse at a walk,
and the young man was putting in
his time hating himself savagely. In
point of fact, Henley always despised
himself after one of his outbursts,
but they happened none the less reg
ularly on that account.
He was a younger son of an old
English family, university man (Col-
lege of St. Ambrose, Oxford, and a
gentleman; add to which he was the
pluckiest man in the San joaquin
valley-or at least one of the nerv.
lest, and that is pretty large or
der--a splendid rider, a good shot,
handsome fellow in devil-may-care
fashion, and was poss essed of reck.
lessness enough to sink three-deck-
er. His vices were those which
sprang from Incidence and unsteadi'
ness of purpose, but at bottom he had
the manliness out of which stanch
men are made. The trouble with him
was that he had always had more
money than he knew what to do
with, and unworthy companions who
were quite ready to assist him on
the downhill road. The result was
that he had long since come to feel
q cynical distrust about himself.
'"I'm bad egg, and the sooner I'm
bowled clean in the middle stump the
better it will be for my people," he
told himself, in the mixed figures he
was won't to employ. "The devil of
it is that I'm liable to live 100 years
yet. Hello! What's the matter here?'
The matter appeared to be that

1t has been shown, according to re-
port of the industrial commission. that
the average haul of the American
farmer in getting his produce to mar
ket, or to the nearest shipping station,
is II miles. The average cost per ton
for hauling over the common country
roads is 25 cents per ton per mile, or
three dollars per ton for 12-mile haul.
Careful estimates also place the total
tons hauled at 300, ooo, 900 per year and
the average haul at IL miles, making
the total cost of getting the surplus
products OF the farm to the local mar
ket or the railroad seOO,ooo.ooo. This
figure is greater than the operating ex-
penses of all the railroads in the Unit

This is the "bean of history" or

This bean grows erect, about 2A feet

the leaves are made up of oval leaf
let's. The pods are broad, thicker
at the end and generally curved and
pendant, containing thickish, bullying
seeds. Several varieties are grown
in Europe, both for fodder and for
human food, but it does not continue
as long in bearing as other beans. 1t
is said to be more generally eaten
there by the poor than by the
wealthy, but, as it has distinct and
agreeable flavor of its own, quite diff.

very noticeable up to the time of its
death. 1t learned again to use the
right limbs, but there was always
certain clumsiness in their move
ments. In actions requiring. only
one hand the right was never will
ingly employed, and it evidently cost
the animal great effort to use it.
Before the operation it would give
either the right or left hand when
asked for it. After the operation it
always gave the left till by long
course of training, in which fruit or
Jumps of sugar served as the re-

"Why," it will be asked, fare the big
tree groves always found on well-wa-
tered spots?" Simply because big
trees give rise to streams, says John
Muir, in Atlantic. It is mistake to
suppose that the water is the cause
OF the groves being there. On. the con-
trary, the groves are the cause OF the
water being there. The roots of this
immense tree fill the ground, forming
a sponge which boards the bounty Of
the clouds and sends it forth in clear
perennial streams instead of allowing
it to rush headlong in short-lived, de-
structive floods. Evaporation is also
checked and the air kept still in the
shady sequoia depths, while thirsty
robber winds are shut out. =. The
value of these forests in storing and
dispensing the bounty of the mountain
clouds is infinitely greater than lum-

show that handling preserves them,

It was observed in Berlin that those
parts of bronze figures that had been
surreptitiously handled by visitors
were brighter and looked in better
state of preservation than the other
portions. Inquiries of antiquarians
and experts revealed the fact that
the Greeks made practice of polish
ing their bronze by rubbing with the
bare hand from time to time, and
that the oil exuded from the human
hand was good for the metal.
An experiment was tried with four
bronzes for a certain period; one was
polished with oil occasionally, an
other was rubbed by hand, a third
was wiped with a mixture of oil and
chemical preparation, and the
fourth was left untouched. The last
suffered most, while the bronze pol
ished with oil took first place, and
the hand-rubbed one came second.

FEEDING OF SORGHUM.
There Are Many Arguments For ana
Against Its Use Worthy of Care.
full CONFEDERATION.

Precaution is necessary in the feed
ing of sorghum. From time to time
reports have been received of cattle
dying from eating the sorghum in
certain stages of growth. All at
tempts to find the poison have failed
thus far. However, the losses have
been so small compared to the num-
Der of cows being fed that the use of
this kind of feed has been continued.
A recent communication from Prof.
D. H. Otis, of the Kansas experiment
station, says: During the time the
Kansas station has been pasturing
sorghum several reports have been
received of cattle dying in ten or fif-
teen minutes from the time they en-
tered the sorghum patch, but in every
case where we have been>able to get
details, the cattle have eaten the sor-
ghum on empty or nearly, empty
stomachs. Cattle should have their
stomachs so we'll filed that they>teel
completely satisfied before touching
the green sorghum, and then allowed
to eat only few minutes at time
until they are accustomed to it. X
sorghum can be pastured successful
ly, as has been done by the Kansas ex.
pertinent station, it means that tho
dairymen and stockmen can get an
immense amount of pasture from
small area, which is available at a
time when their other pastures are
getting short and dry. Pasturlng will
also be the most economical way OF
utilizing sorghum. The man that
turns his cattle in sorghum field,
however, must realize that he may be
taking risks. He must weigh the evil
dence for and against its use and
then decide for himself whether the
benefits will outweigh the risks"
