DRAINAGE OF A WET FIELD.
The Work Was Not Half So Hard as
It Seemed in Advance and
the Benefits Great

A little experience Is worth more than
a whole lot of theory. The theory of
draining land is generally all right, but
it does not get hold of ones thought and
purpose as a very little experience
does.
For instance, had piece of land that
was so wet and soggy could do nothing
with it after it was plowed. The weeds
grew on it like bushes, the corn like
blades of grass. Last fall and early this
spring | dug some bitches in the lowest
places, and laid two-inch tile in them |
dug deep ditch at the head of the wet
piece, just under the hill, picked the
stone from the piece of land and filled
this head ditch with them. This cut off
the water from the hillside The main
ditch led from this head ditch straight
down through the field. The effect is
marvellous. The land broke up we'll in
blowing and narrowed down smooth
The corn Is growing on it as we'll as
elsewhere, in spite of the cold season.
The main point in this item is this:
The amount of work involved appeared
mountainous at first, and deferred me
from undertaking it, But the actual
work of digging the ditches laying tile,
picking stone and filling in the head
ditch was surprisingly small, and easy
in comparison with the apprehension
of what 1t would be- A few days of con-
tinuous work transformed that Doggy
piece of land into one of easy filth.
One thing more in this connection:
The road to the lower fields lay across
the former wet piece of land. | cut
two bitches across the road, at the head
of two cross drains, and filled them with
stone, and now, instead of having a
heavy, wet piece of road to haul manure,
hay, ETC., over, | have a dry, hard road.
Altogether, the work has been small,
the expense light and the satisfaction
great And-this is another point-the
experience is SO encouraging that an
other field which presents like Difficult.

How to Hang Grindstones.

1t requires pretty fair mechanic to
hang grindstone to run true and stay
true. 1t is supposed that there are no
fianges upon the axle The hole should
be at least one-eighth or one-half inch
larger than the axle, and both axle and
hole square. Then double wedges for
each of the four sides of the square, all
alike and thin enough, so that one
wedge from each side will reach clear
through the hole. Drive the wedges
from each side. If the hole through the
stone is true, the wedges will tighten
the wedge true, If the hole is not at
right angles to the plane of the stone, it
must be made so, or the wedges CORE
spending must be altered in the taper
to meet the irregularity in the hole

wisely abandoned all effort at conversation.

her best to make him hear the abuse that
she was evidently hurting at him. Sudden

THE CHOP SUEY COPYRIGHT.
Claimed by a San Francisco China
man Who Wants Back

If people can be required to pay roy
alties on gold teeth that they have
worn for years, and on driven wells
from which their fathers have drunk
before them, there would seem to be
no reason why they might not have to
pay them on copyrighted dishes, which
they have long ago eaten and digested,
says the New York Mail. There is a
San Francisco Chinaman who claims
% have copyright on the dish called
chop suey, and he wants his back roy
alties as we'll as his front ones
1t must be explained, first of all, that
chop suey is not Chinese dish. This
is no news even to amateur orientals,
but probably it is to the average Amer
lean citizen. 1t is San Francisco in
vention, or rather adaptation; it is an
irish stew translated into Chinese for
purely occidental degustation. With
its usual black ignorance of oriental
ways, the American public accepted it
at once as the Chinese national dish,
