we are weary Of the cry Of Where

comes as a general rule from those who
buy from the fakirs, but we dislike to
have them come our way for SYM
pathy after getting just what they were
paying for. However. in reply to those
who really want pure article. and are
willing to pay for it, there is no difn-
Guilty at all about the matter. A good
way to get pure honey is to raise II
yourself or else buy from some pro-
Queer whose reputation is above snsui-
cion. or buy from some reputable deaf

kinds, your grocer, for instance. If you
live where there is good pure food

nounce honey impure simply because
you don't like it. The combined efforts
OF the dairy and food commissioners
and the State Bee Keepers association
have done much to drive spurious
honey out OF the market, and we
hope the day is not far distant when
congress will see It's way clear to pass
a pure food law that will make the
business Of the adulterator both risky
and Improbable.

is just as reasonable to exchange pure
bred calves, pigs or lambs for inferior
stock as TO exchange eggs. as eggs repre-

eggs makes the flock in a community all
of one blood. so that really nothing can
be gained by the practice after It has
been persisted in for time DO not at

eggs for some nondeacript stock that

Every practical ditcher knows, who has
attempted to grade himself" from
stake to stake by water in the bottom
Of the ditch, that he will rise too fast
In those cases where the engineer has
found il necessary to fix q grace verg

Many drains are Put in nowaday with as
small fall as one inch per 100 feet A
small fall like this often saves great ex
pense In digging or 1t may be that 1t is
not possible to get more. Digging such
bitches by water in the bottom would
be wholly impracticable and it is only
by the help OF an experienced engineer
with good level that successful re-
suits can be assured. He will ful cases
the drainage engineer alone is able to
tell whether system Of drainage is pos
sible. He will adjust the grades, mark
the cuts on each stake and put the work
in such shape that the work can be
executed property either with contract
or day labor.
Even in cases where there is plenty OF
fall It will be economy to have ditch
or system OF drains dug with perfectly
uniform grade Digging beneath the
grade line In places Is not only waste
of work but In cases will cause injury
to the successful operation Of the fin

silt. etc. Having the level stakes set
with the cuts given for each place the
problem remaining is to get uniformly
finished bottom from one stake to the
next The best method OF accomplishing
this is to set up targets at two or better
three stakes on straight course to be
ditched The target consists OF YER
tical pole set at the stake alongside the
ditch with horizontal arm movable up
and down the pole and fastened at any
point by thumb screw Fix the hori-

distance above the established grade

operator with a six-foot pole in his

depth to dig at any point by sighting
along the targets. Suppose at stake No.
