DRAINAGE OF MARSHES.
cessfully Tried Mt the Wisconsin
Experiment station.

In Holland 1t 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 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
ton there has been somewhat SINH
lar system in operation for a 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 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. A stump is
reservoir for holding drainage water.
Into this stump bitches drain the water
from the swamp. Between the stump
and dixie windmill was erected and
pumping connections placed. The plan
worked and still works to perfection.
The windmill easily keeps the water
drained out of the stump, and into the
stump 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 stump,
it 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 it 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 windmill
is idle, natural processes of evapora-
ton taking care of all surplus water.
Last week when the writer visited
the stump. the windmill was still, and
the ground was dry, while only little
distance away the waves of Lake Men
dota beat on the soil. The scheme has
in it great possibilities, and is certain
ly applicable where land is high in
price. Moreover such land is frequent
ly very rich in plant food.
In addition the irrigation of such
land in drought is simple, requiring
only a comfortable siphon from the
lake.-Farmers' Review.

SOME Mckinley SAYINGS.

A noble manhood, nobly consecrated
to man, never dies.
God puts no nation in supreme place
which will not do supreme duty.
Patriotism Il above party and nation
al honor is dearer than any party
name.
The American home lies at the very
beginning and foundation Of pure
national life.
God win not long prosper that ma
ton which will not protect and defend
its weakest citizens.
ton upon which we must build II our
citizenship IL to be lifted up and our in
stitutions are to endure.
Improvement in every walk of life
is the outgrowth of thought and dis
cussion and ambition. We do better
as we are better ourselves.
Self-government politically can be
successful only If it be accompanied by
self-government personally; there
must be government somewhere.
The American home where honesty,
sobriety and truth preside, and sim
pie, everyday virtue without Pomp
and ostentation is praciced, is the
nursery of all true Quotations.
The want of the time is manly men,
men of character, culture and courage,
of faith and sincerity; the exalted
manhood which FORCES its way to the
front by the force of it's own merits.
1t is the duty of each Of US, by word
and act, in so far as it can be done, to
improve the present condition. But,
above all, we must not disparage our
government. We must uphold it and
uphold it at all times and in all circum-
stances.
The to-morrows are too full to be
crowded with the yesterdays. We
must move on and forward. We must
learn that every day is a new day, with
its own distinctive and commanding
duties, and cannot atone for the yes
terdays unimproved.

II Pays to Keep Accounts.

The expenses and receipts from an
finals are unknown to some farmers.
1t Is estimated that it requires four
acres to keep cow, and the value Of
the land as rent should be charged
against her as so much expense,
which she must pay before her milk
will give profit. On the other side,
a COW will leave about $40 worth of
manure on the four acres, which
should be deducted from the rent
charges. When strict accounts are
kept of all expenses the farmers will
then know which animals are paying
and which are not even supporting.
