PECULIAR SOIL CONDITIONS.
pores of the soil to some natural outlet
without causing any undue accumula-
ton at any point Another condition
requiring the application of an artificial
outlet is where fine clay soil is over
laid by a more porous one as In Fig. i.
The water passing more readily through
the upper soil WILL in seeking its level,
be carried into the finer soil much fast
er than it can get away. To produce
this condition there need not be very
great difference in the porosity of the
two soils, neither is It essential that
the lOwcr soil be an extremely fine
grained one. 1t is simply problem
IF trying to force the stream from a
large pipe into smaller one. Such a
condition may occur where the slope is
steep, or where it is very gradual. The
result may vary from slight interfer-
ence with cultivation In very wet times
to a constant DOGGY condition Of por-
tiOn of the more impervious soil area.
Still another condition that can be
relieved only by artificial means is where
a stratum of sand crops out at some
place on slope as in Fig. 2. The char
acter Of the soil everything the layer of
sand is immaterial Whether closed
or open, 1t will drain into the sand
which, being so very open, allows the
water to flow readily to the nearest out
let. If the sand is coarse enough, the
volume of water carried large enough,
and the outlet is confined to one point,
q flowing spring IS the result. Other
wise a more or less wet condition eX-
lists on the slope below the outcrop, as at
a. This condition is likely to extend
for long distance in a horizontal line
around the stope. This water may be
concentrated into a running spring and
the wet condition of the hillside rem
edied by running line of tile along the
outcrop of the same stratum. A very
common error in attempting to drain
such a wet place on hillside is to place
the tile too far down the slope, as at a
where here Is perhaps the most water in
the surface soil 1t will be readily seen
from the figure that with such an ar
rangement the soil between the tile and
the sand layers would still be wet, as the
water would have to pass Through It to
reach the tile. The proper place for the
line Of tile is along the bottom Of the
sand stratum Cat b. to catch the water
before it enters the surface soil of the
lower slope Prairie Farmer.

HOW TO HANDLE HOGS.
Much of the Farmers Success IL Due
to Proper Driving and Load
ing In summer.

In hot weather fat hog cannot make
much progress, so it is best to take ad-
vantage Of the cool evenings and morn
ings for driving. The one who has a
drove of such to drive say four or hVe
miles to load will find it to his interest
to drive them nearly half the distance
the evening before, even II he Is put 10
the trouble of hauling their feed. The
killing of one hog Will lose you more
! money than the worth OF several days
work, and 1t is the latest ones, usually,
that die in this way. Then there IS
great advantage in getting to the pens
in time to let the hogs rest and cool be-
fore loading. 1t Is dangerous to dash
water on a very hot hog, better pour 1t
on the ground around and under 1T. AL
low access to pool or pond often, so
that they can wallow and cool them
selves. A fat hog cannot live long In
the boiling sun without water or shade
even where it has had no exercise. An
acquaintance penned his hogs at $50
in the morning to prevent roofing. At
II O'Clock, when he went back, SIX were
dead and the rest were painting SO loud
they were almost barking. A man can
not be too careful about fat hogs, for
they are very easily killed by overhead
and eXertion. DO not Overdo the busl-
ness by starting them off too brisk,
thereby breaking them down on the
start. | like to load v hen the hogs are

company has not done this it will pay
you to do it. Sawdust makes the best
bedding. Where this cannot be had
handy, dirt and sod makes a good sub
stitute. IL would be well to thoroughly
soak this bedding with water, for with
this to keep them cool they ought to
ride comfortably. When my hogs have
a long distance to ride in hot weather |
have the railroad company water them
by running the car back and forth I'M
der a water tank. This not only cools
the hogs but the car and bedding. They
then have cool bedding to lie on the
rest of the way. | learned from an ex-
perienced shipper how to load proper
ly. Most people load by packing the
hogs in by piece meal which takes
much more time and causes more worry
to the hogs than is necessary. But this
man loaded by driving the whole drove
in one continuous stream and with
grand rush. In this way the shy ones
are forced along whether or no. Sim
ply one straight drive, little worry lit
tie time. The same principle applies
equally well to mules, cattle or sheep.

BAD FLAVORS IN EGGS.
They Are Caused by the Food the
Hens Eat and Change OF Ra-
ton Cures the EVIL.

Farmers have known for years that
when onions were fed to hens they i'm
parted their flavor to the eggs Now, an
experiment station has very carefully
proved it by thorough trial, but they
claim that it required some IS days be-
fore they could detect the flavor. Their
onions or garlic must have been very
mild favored, or the hens were not very
hungry for them. When we learn ed it
by experience, throwing some par y de-
Cayed onions into the henyard, II took
but a day or two to detect the fla or in
the egg, and In a week the egg had a
stronger flavor than raw onion, says
the American CuIt!yatOr. But then we
had not learned to give the hens green
food during the winter, only as we had
It from the table waste, which was not a
large amount, just cabbage leaves, par
ings of rools and such material from a
small family. 1t does not take week
to give tishy flavor TO eggs II hens are
fed freely on fish when hungry for ami
NAL food, and 1t Is manifest all the
sooner If the fish Is little stale, and de-
caying meat, not sweet enough for table
use, will flavor eggs just as quickly as
1t does milk when fed to COWS, and we
only wonder that the experiment sta
ton should have thought it was neCes-
sary to prove It. Now, they only need
another experiment to prove what 9TH
ers have proved long ago. that decay
ing meat or fish, II led to hens In sutTi-
cient quantity, will cause rapid decay
Of eggs, or Of the flesh of the fowl, If
they are slaughtered within from one
to three days after It has been fed. And
yet the fowl while alive may seem none
the worse for it, and perhaps be none
the worse for It week later II It's use
is discontinued, as the bacteria that
cause rapid decay cannot work in the
living body, and Will perish there In
about a week In healthy animal. This
Is our reason for Directing to the raw
cut bone and meat. so much advocated
now. II fresh It Is all right except in the
point of cost, but decay has usually be-
gun in It before the poultry keeper can
buy it, or he Will buy enough to last
several days, and II has had time to
acquire a bad odor and flavor and the
germs OF decay.

BREAK UP THE CRUST.
In working the SOIL Most Farmers
Too often Forget the Great
Law of CapiIlarity.

When rain falls on heavy soils, the
water penetyates it only slowly, as
the spaces between the soil particles
are very small. After the rain, the
sun and the wind begin their work,
and the evaporation from the soil
causes it 70 form a crust This crust,
While preventing the air from reaching
the roots of the plants, serves as
medium through which the water in
the soil may the more readily pass

The latter, therefore, often seem at

to a large extent prevent this by break

PRETTY FARM HOMES.
They Suggest Happy Birds Nest and
Speaks OF COntentment and
Refinement.

I wish l could more forcibly i'm
press on the mind Of the farmer the
value of attractive surroundings. Ev,
cry farm home should be attractive,
1t is not necessary to have a fine
house or fancy cottage, or expensive
lawn fence to make the farm home pref
ty. To be sure. neat fence, few or
naments on the house and the freq
use of paint help nightly, but the
chief attractions can be made of trees
and shrubs. A shady lawn and a
shady driveway are always attractive.
Groups of trees, shrubs or flowers nev.
er fail to charm. The lawn may not be
kept perfectly smooth, all the trees
may not be clearly pa dned, yet the
home place ornamented with them
does not fail to convey the impression
that peace and contentment dwell
there. AS lady from the city said,
"A pretty farm house suggests a hap
by birds nest. We do not notice the
dwelling so much as we do the sur
roundings. If the surroundings are
pretty we know the interior of the
house is all right and that it is the
abode of love and contentment and all
that makes life worth living. We look
to the city for fine mansions, but to
the country for pretty homes Home
