quest was made that all who have promised

john Conference of County
Commissioners Results In
Rejection Of Ditch
| Petition.

keleCtlCn Or DitCn
Petition.
Regarding pending ditch
matters this mornings issue of
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil
says:
After several days consider
alton of the drainage ditch pro-
position, one day of which was
spent in discussing the matter
with the members of the Harri-
son county board of supervisors
the Pottawattamie board of
supervisors has decided to re-
jet the drainage petitions.
The cause for the rejection
is the Pottawattamie farmers
would have to pay for the in
creased size and deeper cut of
the bitches necessitated to carry
off water which would be drain
ed from the upper end of the
bitches in Harrison county.
The board yesterday after
noon while not taking any act
ion discussed the proposition
thoroughly and each member
announced himself opposed to
the drainage question in its
pres mt form. The Pottawat-
tim e board favors forming of
a joint commission composed of
of the members of the Potta-
wattamie and Harrison county
boards, who will have the drain
age question in charge and can
when the same is finished as
sess the costs proportionately
against all the AUDITING prop
erty. This would equalize the
increased cost of the construc-
ton.
A. j. Gilmore of Missouri
Valley, John S. Hall of Wood
bine, and w. S. Kelley of Mon
DAMN, the members of the
Harrison county board, County
Auditor B. r. Huff of Logan,
County Attorney Lloyd Fallon
and County Surveyor ]. G.
McCabe, county officials of Har-
rison county, were present at
the meeting of the Pottawat-
TAME board here yesterday,
and with them jointly consider
ed the drainage question. The
Harrison county men expressed
themselves as willing to join
with the Pottawattamie board
and form a joint commission
for the construction of the
ditches.
It's understood that at a
meeting of the Pottawattamie
board in April, an invitation
will be extended to the Harri-
son county board to meet and
form the proposed commission.
Harrison county will in the
drainage be the greater benefi-
ciary, and it is expected that if
the construction of the bitches
come to an issue the farmers in
that county whose land lies
along the drainage system will
be willing to share a portion of
the cost of constructing the
bitches through this county.

Dual Party.

.-oI-o!.oSoi-oi-o..o
Dual Party.
Responding to the invitation
of Miss Daisy Sapp, a number
of ourjolly young folks, enjoyed
the hospitality of Miss Daisy's
pleasant home last evening.
The occasion was dual
surprise and farewell party in
honor of Miss Alice McDermott
who is soon to leave Mo. Valley
and make her home at Nicola.
About ZOO o'clock the young
folks began to gather at the
Oxford Hotel, and in a remark
ably short time there had gath
cred a goodly crowd of in
ventors, scientists and workers,
| donot mean by these terms
that they were the real article
but only use it figuratively be-
cause they are always inventing
new ways of amusement, always
discovering new kinds of games
and forever working somebody
for something.
At 7::3O they marched up to
the house and took possession.
1t had been previously arrang-
ed that the young folks shou Id
be out of sight when Miss
Alice was ushered in. When
all the arrangements had been
made one of the fair knights of
the party was sent to her home
to bring her.
Presently there was a rap on
the door and instantly every
thing became as quiet as a
mouse, when the door opened
every one cried Surprise" at
the top of his voice, but it was
hard to tell who was the most
surprised. for it was not Miss
Alice who entered, but instead,
it was a guard who had been
posted to warn them when she
approached but the guard
soon got them back into their
works by officially informing
them that she was comming.
The same performance was
gone through when she entered
and the look on her face may
be more easily imagined than
described. AS soon as order
had been restored the young
! folks got down to business and
for a few hours they made the
house ring with their merry
laughter. At eleven a deli
cious two course supper was
served by the hostess assisted
by her guest. Some of the
party declared that the supper
tasted so nice because such nice
girls were serving it, but some
of us, and think we had a
majority voted that while the
girls helped immensely; yet
were it not for the excellent
preparations made by Mrs.
Milspaugh the supper would
have lost much of it's flavor and
excellency.
At a late hour the party
broke up and we had to depart
glad to have enjoyed such a
hospitable home and so delight
full an evening, but sad at the
thought of losing so kind a
friend as Miss Alice has proved
herself to be.

Draining Cow, in simmer

While in many sections grain feed
ing must be done this summer, the or
binary practice is not to feed grain to
cows that are on pasture This is ac-
knowledged to be a mistake by those
who have tried both methods, proyid-
ed their cows were grade or thorough
breds. In some sections the belief in
grain has been carried to the extent
that the cows are barn-fed the year
through. That this results in a good
railk fow cannot be denied, but there
is some question as to the advisability
of depriving cows Of grass entirely.
On the other hand, there can be no
question about the value of granting
to a moderate extent in connection
with pasturing. To commence with,
the supply of grain should be small
say a pint a day, increasing the guam
tity as the value of the grass de-
creases. The expense of this plan is
certainly small compared with the re-
suits, and during this month and Au-
gust is a good time to test i..-St.

Not Pafnpered.

The professor who was the chief in
structor of the present King of Italy
during. his boyhoed has lately made
some interesting statements as to the
method pursued in the education of the
prince.
'The first day l went to instruct the
prince" says the author. Il was in
formed by those in authority that was
to treat him as would any other pupil,
neither showing him any undue respect
nor any indulgence even in trifiing
matters. For example. if anything. was
needed during the lesson it was the
prince who should get it, and not L; and
if book or anything like it were to
fall from the table it was the prince
who should pick it up"
The tutor was sharp in his repri-
mands If the prince sighted his les
soEs.
Your royal highness should remem-
ber." he said. on one occasion. that a
kings son, if he is blockhead. will
remain blockhead. for in this respect
there is no difference between him and
the son of shoemaker"
At another time the prince asked to
be relieved from exercise on horseback
on the plea that he had a headache.
IF battle were to be fought to-day,
do you think pain in the head ought
to prevent your royal highness from
appearing at the head of his troops?"
asked the tuter.
The prince rode that day, as usual.

House for Drying Sweet Corn.
I have for several years been rails
ing sweet corn under contract. and the
accompanying illustration will convey
some idea of my drying house. 1t Is
also my granary, the upper floor con-
tanning grain bins on one side. The
lower floor and south side of the up
per floor are arranged for sweet corn.
The most essential part of drying
sweet corn is to have free circulation
of air. Therefore cut doors through
as shown. These doors are on both
sides and on the back. They are hung
on hinges and can be opened and shut
when needed. The sweet corn should
be spread in layers: therefore we use
racks made of by 8 inch Stats placed
twenty inches to two feet apart, one
above the other. If the corn is green
and milky when husked it should be
put on the racks very thin, not more
than two or three ears in depth, and
turned frequently, but II it is more
matured and the kernels are glazed it

Correspondence. Ohio Farmer.
A Handy Wood Block.


On every farm there is more or less
wood-chopping to do, and, as rule,
1t is back-break king work unless some
device, something like that shown in
the cut, is used. This is simply made
and consists mainly of two pieces Of
logs sawed smooth so that they will
stand firmly. These are set about four
feet apart and each log is about three
feet high. On top Of these logs Is
placed another, which reaches from
end to end Of the base logs, as shown
in the cut Stakes are cut and fasten-
ed to the log as shown, SO as to hold
1t firmly In position. The whcle ar
rangement is planned so that the log
will be of the right height for cutting
without causing one to bend over too
far. In order to prevent danger from
flying pieces of wood. such as small
twigs of trees, an iron, bent as shown
in figure B, is fastened to the chop
ping log, and under this iron is placed
