Draining Wet Places

Frequently wet places that produce
more frogs and mosquitoes than any
crop that can be planted can be drain
ed with a good pillow and team and a
day or two with a shovel or hoe, says
Farm and Ranch. 1t will always pay
to do such work, because such places,
well drained, are very fertile; also such
areas frequently cause the neglect of
the crops on either side, because when
it should be cultivated the wet ground
will not permit it, and when that be-
comes dry enough the other will be too
dry for best results. We once drained
a pond of about two and a half acres
by digging n well in the lowest point
down to a sand bed. All the water ran
into this hole and Disappeared This
will not work at all places. But the
wet places should be made dry or
dredged and converted into fish ponds.

Keeping In Fertility.

The ordinary farmer seems to lool
upon seeding down a piece Of land al
an expense which could be undergone
only rs often as is absolutely necessary
in order to cut good hay and pillow the
land only when it has ceased to produce
a paying crop. In fact, however, thu
oftener a good sod can be turned under
to decay and supply humus the better
will the fertility be kept up. Money
expended in grass seed with a view tt
maintaining fertility is far better in
vestment than in purchasing fertilizers
And the more clover seed you can gel
in the better will this object be accom-
plished. IF

Yaluc Of Corn St0vcr.

To illustrate what we said not long
ago about the value of corn stover in
those regions where corn is one Of the
principal crops. we reprint a story from
The Farmers Guide OF Auburn, Ind,
which is said to have been told by q
truthful man, a good citizen and a pill
lar of the church, says American u
/, tivator. Said he: Last winter ! win
tered from the list of December up to
the LIST of April, four months, Ito head
of stock, made up of COWS, young cat
tie, horses and colts, upon the corn fod-
der produced upon fifteen acres OF corn,
which yielded seventy-fve bushels per
acre, this fodder being all the roughage
this lot Of stock had" This statement
hardly needs any comment, for it tells
its own story. 1t is well worth think
ing over by all men who raise corn ana
leave the stalks to waste In the field.

HINTS FOR
Common Cows For Beef Cattle,

49,
1t is not only possible to start with
common cows as a foundation and
build up a good herd Of beef cattle, but
it is one of the best moves that the av-
erage farmer IA make, provided, of
course, he has the common COW to be-
gin with, says a Kansas correspondent
of American Cultivator. There is no
earthly reason why he should sell such
n herd and proceed to put a lot of mon
ey in well bred cows. l should adyo-
cate building up the herd every time
from common stock, so that one would
gain experience while making improve
ments. Place the average man without
experience in possession Of a fine herd,
and ha will in most cases abuse it
through ignorance. If a man cannot
breed carefully enough to build up a
herd, he cannot handle fine bred ami
mails well enough to keep them up to
their standard. If there is going to be
any failure, it is better to have it out
with the common herd, so the loss will
be less keen. 't.'t 81

Mares on the Farm.

There is no good reason why mares
should not be made to serve a dual
purpose-work on the farm and raise
colts, says Farmers Voice. Under
proper management they should give
as good satisfaction in the harness as
the horse gives, and the colts which
may be raised nearly every year until
the mares are along in the teens rep
resent clear profit. In buying horses
for teamwork buy mares-good ones OF

FIGHTING WITH GIANTS.
Major Austin's Expedition Along the
Anglo-Abyssinian Frontier.

~~>~s~SAs
Among the latest joys Of empire build
ing in Africa are week long fights with
giant savages. In an extremely interest
ing account OF his expedition along the
Anglo Abyssinian frontier. Major Austin
tells among other things of an en-
counter with the Turkhana, tribe of
giants inhabiting the shores Of Lake
Rudolph. One night these tribesmen came
upon some members Of Major Austin's
caravan and killed three Soudanese SOL
iiers.
A second attempt to rush the camp was
after some trouble beaten off, and when
the expedition moved of these gigantic
trihessnen hung on to it's skirts.
1t took a month for the caravan to get
clear of their country, and during that
time 80 members of the expedition died.
The hostility Of the Turkhana seems
strange in face of the entirely different
demeanor observed in them by the late
Captain Montagu Wellby, whose useful
life was cut short in the unending war.
When this gallant officer passed
through the Turkhana country he found
that the tribesmen fed at his approach,
leaving their villages entirely deserted.
Penetrating into the bush, the captain
and his party saw several Turkhana men
moving through the forest. They APP
peared. said the captain. to be filled
rather with fear and curiosity than with
any intention Of hostility.
These warriors, who moved about the
bush in little groups were men OF enor-
nous stature, many of them perfect
giants in their blu Id. They wee .nagniti-
cent specimens of savage manhood, and
all We're armed with spears of unusual
length.
The most curious feature Of their per-
sonal adornment was their fashion of
dressing their hair. 1t fell in thick, care

plain they thought their last hour had
come. But by his kindliness and making
some little present to them each time he
encountered them, the captain eventually
rvercame their fears, and by degrees the
Turkhana women. susceptible like all
their kind to the charms of the sons Of
Mars. lost the despairing look which had
overspread their faces when they first
saw the white man.
Once, when the captain came upon a
party of Turkhanas, the savage giants
sprang to their feet and gazed at him in
profound establishment, making no sign
either of hostility or terror.
Then, all of a sudden. without any
visible cause they turned and fled, leav-
ing everything behind them but their
SPEARS.
Somehow these gentle giants seem to
have overcome their fear of white men,
