seen that the difference between the
highest point of the lake this past sum-
mer as compared with the lowest point
late in the fall Is S.S feet. which. there
fore, represents the rise of the lake
during the past year. But as the past
year was one of comparatively little
snow. it is likely the coming year. or
at least other years. will show a much
greater height.
Now this represents the amount of
water that has accumulated in the lake
besides what has. been carried off by
the outlet. BY having the rise from
day to day and the surface it would
be possible to give the excess of water
carried in over that carried out.
BY having readings at each end of
the Iake, ana on the TWO rivers NEIL
toned, With measurements of the
streams from time to time to determine
the amount passing through them. it
becomes possible to say how much wa
ter actually passes through the lake
annually and how much water is
brought into the lake from the surface
drained. BY further computation it
may be determined approximately how
much water has fallen in the entire
drainage system, bearing in mind that
some portions, particularly the higher
mountains. receive much more rainfall
or snowfall than other portions

offered some hints as to what they may

Hotel Gossip

Charley Davidson. the popular young
ticket agent for the RIO Grande Western,
has of late been close s'iiient Of hvr-
notism, and lypn ,tism has proved his
financial un1oing. The que ytien arose
last evening as to whether or not a per-
son while under the hypnotic spell would
do anything against his moral principles.
Charley claimed that he would, and
young man who has the reputation Of
being total abstaner was lassoed and
taken into the barrooen of the South
ern hotel, where Professor Davidson
made several flouris!1es and threw his
subject into a trance

handing it to the subject.
The subject ODE diently swallowed the
contents and the professors compan-
ions insisted that the youth in the
trance be given enough to make him in
toXicated. SO that he could be "joshed"
when he was removed from the hypnotic
influence. Davidson kept giving the SUBJ
ject glass after glass, until he finally
paused and said: Boys, if he isn't
drunk now. he can go: I'm broke"
Opening his eyes upon hearing these
words. the subject quietly walked to
the doorway without the suspicion OF a
staSger. Turning around at the door,
way, dryly remarked: Well this is a
cheap crowd of sports. II doesn't pay
to get hypnotized in this town."
Before the others had time to give ex-
preston to their mirth, Professor David
son produced a handful of coin and threw
several on the bar. He looked tired and
disgusted
"Ill quit hypnotism and study for the
n.versity'-thatw was all he said.

Is the years 90 BY Il IS pleasing to
note that more farmers write letters on
printed letter heads and have their
cards on their envelopes. II was once
thought that no one could do this un-
less he was engaged in the production
Of some speciality or breeding some
pure-blood farm stock. No one believes
that now. Let the farm be named and
then give that with the name OF the
owner and his post Office address and
the business is done. The cost of print

beneits.-Lanark lIlll Gazette.

AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
Farmers Should Keepa Close kcconnt
of the Receipts from All
Their sod Lands.

A farmer can have neither a good
pasture nor a good meadow without
a good sod. But the kind of sod he
needs on his pasture is very different
from the sod he needs in his meadow.
We see in contemporary laudation
Of bluegrass sod for the pasture. But
we know that bluegrass sod is not
the ideal sod for a pasture. II should
be part of the sod but not the whole
thing. Blue grass makes good pas
ture at certain seasons, but during
much Of the time is below its prime
The pasture sod should most certain
ly be formed of a variety of grasses.
so that grass will be making a good
growth at all seasons when any grass
could grow.
The sod for the meadow should of
course be made Of one kind of grass.
The meadow is supposed to be for
the production of hay. and the hav
crop is gathered at one time. But
in both cases the sod should be well
taken care Of, should be well manured
and not permitted to get thin. One
of the great faults of our American
farming is neglect of the sod in both
pastures and meadows. In the sod
lies much of the profit on the farm.
We think if our farmers would keen
a close account Of the receipts from
their sod lands they would pay more /
attention to them.-Farmers' Re.

SCRAPER FOR SLUSH.
Useful Implement for Cleaning
bitches and for Dressing on the
Overhanging Banks.

Where a farmer has a large ditch
running through his farm a slush
scraper is indispensable. This one is
made from two-inch plank, sides five
feet long, with one end patterned for
the scraper and tapered to make
suitable handles, as shown in cut.
The scraper box should be four feet
wide, two feet from front to rear of
box, and one foot in depth. These
dimensions will move almost a half.
yard of mud at each load, and team
will pull it easily.
The top and bottom of scraper
should be banded with tire iron,
which will make it more rigid and
wear better. Any blacksmith can
make the blade out of an old drag
