THE DRAINAGE OF SWAMPS
Farmers Who Have No Experience
in the Work Should Engage Serv-
ices Of Engineer

There Is no general rule to guide in
experienced persons in the draining Of
swamp lands. The quality of swamp
land varies as much as do upland. As
a general rule here, cranberry and
moss swamp are not the ones to drain
for agricultural purposes, unless I'M
derlaid near the surface with we'll
rotted muck and clay subsoil. Swamps
covered with good timber, not scrub.
and all kinds of grass swamps, are al
most always all right for farming. A
good swamp farm we'll drained is all
right. Clay subsoil swamps are prefer.
able to sand or hardpan.
Loose soil should not be drained too
deep the first two or three years, but
gradually deepen the drains as the soil
settles. which on some swamps is con-
siderable. Above all things do not
burn off the top soil. as such marshes
are nearly ruined, if not quite. It Is
true some sWamps are ruined by drain
ing, while others are benefited from
the first AS I said above, it depends
much on the kind and quality. Neigh
borhoods that have no experience In
such matters would do we'll to engage
the services of an experienced engin-
eer AS to my own experience as a
swamp farmer, will say I have been
quite successful, with no reason to
complain. I grow hay, corn, potatoes,
vegetables, etc.-George Mutchlor, in
Orange Judd Farmer.

CULTURE OF CHINA GRASS,
Strongest Of the Fibers from Which
Many Tough Fabrics Are
Made

China grass is The name for ramie,
g. fiber much resembling hemp. 1t is
the strongest f he fibers from which
textiles are made; it is as fine as flax,
as lustrous as jute and is in an excep-
tional cegree unaffected by moisture
Grass cloth of great beauty is made
from it in China and Japan.
In recent years the use of ramie, as
1t Is always called in commerce, has
been making progress in Europe and
America. In the United States inn
port statistics it has not yet risen to
the dignity of separate mention, but
The British Commercial Intelligence
gives some facts about it's use on the
continent of Europe. Germany's i'm
ports of it has risen to $4,000 a
year, while France takes from 10000
to 100000 worth of it. The French
ramie mills have $4,000 spindles.
The interest of America in ramie lies
largely in the fact that the southern
part of the United States, Mexico,
Central America, and the northern
part of South America are excellentiy
adapted to raising it. In Mexico ex-
periments in it's culture has been e.
pecially successful, both as regards
yield and quality. 1t is a crop worth
watching, because of it's excellent
prospects for future development.

A HINT FOR BEEKEEPERS,
How to Secure Full Service Of the
Honey-Makers Without Weak
ening the Colonies.

Apiarist Edwin Bevins claims to
have discovered two ways in which lay
Ing worker colonies can be disposed of
SO as to get all the service out of the
bees that they can render and yet keep
the numbers of the colonies up to what
it was before.
One way is to place the hive contain
ing the laying workers over a strong
colony with a fertile queen, placing a
newspaper with small hole in it be-
tween the two hives, says the New
York Farmer. The bees will unite
peaceably, and when considerable
worker-brood appears in the upper hive
the hive can be placed on another stand
and the bees will rear queen from the
brood, if the old queen can be intro
duced about three days after the re-
moval of the hive
The other plan involves the taking of
couple of frames of Matching brood
from hive and placing them in an
other hive over strong colony, with a
frame having wire cloth nailed to
both sides of it between the two hives.
Thus fertile queen and her escort
are released on two combs, and in
few days there will be nucleus strong
enough to take care of the queen. This
hive is then set down by the side Of
the hive holding the laying workers.
Every two or three days frame with
the bees must be transferred from the
laylng-Worker hive to the nucleus By
the time all but two of the frames are
placed in the new hive the queen is at
work there, and everything is harmoni-
Gus.
AS regards the two frames taken to
form the nucleus, they can be returned
to the places from which they were
taken. or these places can be filed by
the frames remaining unused in the
laying-worker hive.

] JAPANESE FLOWER BOOK.
Pretty Volume Containing Instruc-
tive Illustrations for Do
nestle Use.

A nice little Japanese woman who
came to this country recently brought
/" with her one of the most important of
the educational works upon which she
was brought up-this is her book of
flowers. Japanese women are being
better educated now, but heretofore they
have been taught little but the etiquette
OF the country, what was necessary for
them TO know concerning household du-
ties, little music-to' strum little on
the sam1sen-and the Arrangement of
MOWERS. This last, says the New York
Times, is important in a country where
a single branch does duty for what an
American would require big bouquet,
and where the cherry trees are cultivated
not for their fruit, but for the beautiful
blossoms. She is an ignorant damsel
lnoeed VINO cannot make a poem of
single branch of any Towering plant at
her command.
1t is to illustrate for her how this is
to be done that the flower book IS neces-
sary. 1t is pamphlet of So pages with
a-nexlole blue cover the title on the
r1gnt-hand corner. The contents are
read, as in all Japanese books, from
right to left. The first cover page is
req, with large black letters, four pages
after that are devoted to text and the
rest of the book is given up to the illus
trations.
Each page shows a flower in some kind
OF low jar or tall vase, and resting
upon graceful stand, some high and 9TH
ers very low, all more or less graceful
in shape, delicate in outline and, as
rule, with curving legs. These repeat
the curves of the flower stalk, which out
line half circles, curves with which we
are familiar in this country in the more
exaggerated outlines of the Japanese
miniature trees.
On each page is little text, a poem
appropriate for the illustration. Wall
panels are in the background with
their decorations of storks and the
Japanese sacred mountain showing the
general decorations of room
only one hanging pot is shown in the
DOCK. This is a. graceful boat-shaped
vessel with decoration of flying bats.
There Is a single vine in it, one short
branch rising above the boat and only
single one below, though it is formed
OF two, one twined around the other to
obtain the single effect. 1t shows the
same curves that are to be seen in the
plants. These are not difficult to OBJ
tain, the tender branches being tied into
position which they keep as they grow
older. This flower book is said to be
centuries old, was originally Chinese
and introduced to the Japanese by the
older nations, which gradually forgot the
delicate art for which the Jap is now
famous.

SCHOOLING OF JAP GIRLS.
Methods If Education Now in Vopue
AAe Thoroughly Up
to-Date.

In an article in "The Far East"
Nine. Uchida, wife of the Japanese
consul general in New York, tells of
the Japanese women as they were and
are. She says:
<"In our mothers generation tho
girls were taught simply to become
good wives to their husbands and good
mothers to their children; therefore
they were educated to be modest.
obedient and capable of controlling
themselves. They were taught also
how to keep house; how to sew; how
to read and write; how to arrange
flowers; how to make and serve tea,
and very often they also studied mu-
sic and literature, but they received
no school education such as they re-
ceive now.
Girls. of the present tins all re-
ceive a modern school education
Japanese ladies in 1904 are not con-
tented merely to stay at home ami
take care of their children. They at
tend lectures, meetings and entertain
ments. They publish women's maya
zines and discuss their rights and du-
ties.
81 think there is no girl now In
Japan who cannot write her own
name, for the parents are compelled
by law to send their girls as we'll as
their boys to school when they reach
the age Of six. In the primary school
girls receive the same education as
boys, with the additional study of
sewing. After they graduate from the
primary school many girls attend the
high school.
"A fact that might interest Amer
lean readers Is that the women in
Japan never get stout when they grow
old, although they take hardly any
exercise.
young men and women while they
are in school or college take much
outdoor exercise, but as soon as they
leave school they give it up Tennis

The Digestibility Of Fats.

With mice and guinea pigs as sus-
jects, the Arkansas station has been
conducting some very interesting ex-
periments to determine the digestibil-
ity of various edible fats and oils, both
animal and vegetable. The cooked oils
were found to be more easily and COM
pletely digested than the raw oils.
Fluid oils and soft fats proved more
digestible than heavy oils and hard
fats. The vegetable oils were found not
to be inferior to animal fats as heat
producers, and to be equal or superior
in dfgestibility. The effect of an in
crease in the melting point of a fat on
the percentage of digestibility became
less as the melting point approached or
rose above the temperature of tho
body.
