Value of Tile Draining.

From Hutchinson independents Times:
/ wish to say few words in regard
to tile drainage for the benefit of those
who have not had experience with tile
in this part of the country. 1t is
generally understood that tiles have to
be put down below the frost in order
to secure free drainage at all times and
are therefore of little benefit in the
spring until the frost is out of the
ground. This, however, is not the fact.
I was out over slough this morning,
March 3Oth, that has been drained with
tiling. I found the water all gone.
I took spade and dug down two and
one-half feet right over the tile, and
found no frost. Whereas on the higher
ground and hills away from the tile
drain, it was only two or three inches
to the frost. I am preparing to put in
a large amount Of tiling this season.

To Get Rid of Potato
Blight and Potato Bugs
at The Same Time.

Prof. Washburn of the State Expert
ment Station has written to us as fol-
lows, asking us to publish in our next
issue if potatoes in this vicinity are
troubled with potato blight:
"In travelling over the State the lat
Ter part Of last summer I was struck
by the prevalence Of blight in potato
vines in many sections. Since then
many complaints have reached us re-
garding this trouble. The following
treatment with Bordeaux mixture has,
in New York State, given excellent
results, and knowledge of the meth
cd, it would seem, should be in the
hands of every farmer in our state,
who raises potatoes.
Spray the vines with Bordeaux mix
ture first when plants are six or seven
inches high. Two weeks later give
them another spraying. Follow this
with two later sprayings, making four
in all, allowing two weeks to intervene
between applications. The necessary
strength Of Bordeaux mixture for this
purpose is made as follows:
Place six pounds of copper sulphate
(blue stone) in a burlap sack, and hang
it in sufficient water to dissolve it in
any vessel which is not made of iron.
Slake four pounds of fresh lime grad
ually. When slaked add 25 gallons of
water, and the water containing the
dissolved blue stone. Stir thoroughly
and add 25 gallons more water go gal
Ions in alD. This mixture should be
strained through burlap before being
used, to remove particles which might
clog the sprayer. TO kill potato beetles
or "bugs" at the same time add one
pound of Paris green to the amount of
the mixture necessary to cover one acre.
Each plant must be thoroughly cover
ed. TO be successful the spray should
be used before the blight starts. This
process costs about $4.00 per acre, and
each farmer must decide for himself
whether the expense is justified.
Farmers should read, in this connec.

diseases, page 66 of Farmers Institute

E. M. Houghton, a brother Of Mrs.
M. B. Slocrlm of this city, is in Cana,
Columbia, South America, where he is
employed as mining superintendent
by the Darien Gold Mining company.
In a letter just received by Mrs. Slocum.
Mr.. Houghton writes: "lt is very

Strength of an Egg Shell.

Most people are aware of the power of
egg shells to resist external pressure
on the ends, but not many would credit
the result of tests recently made, which
appear to be genuine, as recorded in the
Scientific American. Eight ordinary
hens eggs were submitted to pressure
applied externally all over the surface
of the shell, and the breaking pressure
varied between 400 pounds and 675
pounds per square inch. With the stress
applied internally to II eggs, these gave
way at pressures varying between 81
and 65 pounds per square inch. The
pressure required to crush the eggs
varied between 40 pounds and u
pounds. The average thickness of the
shells was .013 of an inch.

How to Prevent Swarm ing.

In answer to an inquiry as to. how
to prevent bees from swarmng, Elias
Fox, in Bee Gleanings, says: Il have
thought of this a great deal; and the
more l think of it the more firmly l am
convinced that we all have non-swarm-
ers if properly manipulated. In other
words, believe that, instead of it's be-
ing natural for bees to swarm, it is
the reverse. Of course. there are ex-
ceptions to all rules; but swarming
according to nature is the exception
(barring Carniolans). Give your queens
plenty of room as needed at the proper
time, and the workers the same and l
will guarantee the rule will be no
swarming-at least in this latitude. I
presume these few remarks will cause
the beekeepers to swarm; but try this
simple method and you will hive your
selves automatically.

A TALK ABOUT EGGS.
Very Little Difference in Nutritive
Value of the Product of Vari-
Gus Kinds OF Fowls.

GUS hInuS OF FOWLS.
The Maine experiment station has
been examining into the composition
and physical characteristics of different
kinds of eggs and finds that duck eggs
have apparently the smallest proper
ing about 1915 per cent. of the whole
weight of the eggs. The average of "a
samples of hens eggs in this respect,
having an average of 11.4 per cent. Of
the whole weight The shells of the
goose eggs averaged 1928 per cent. of
all. Guinea fowl eggs should be unusu-
ally strong as their shells form 14.4
per cent. of their weight. The whites
of the eggs in proportion to their total
weight ran, goose, 52.6; duck, 53.6;
guinea, 536; turkey, 56.5. The proper
tion of yolk to the whole egg ran,
guinea fowl, 80; duck, 33; goose, 34.6,
and turkey, 301.
About 70 per cent of the edible por-
ton of eggs is pure water. The pro-
tein centent is about IA per cent
and the fat about the same. This
makes eggs very valuable food. Most
of the protein is in the whites of the
eggs, and most of the fat in the yollks
Taking the egg as whole, including
the shell, the fat content ranges from
about nine per cent. in turkeys, hens
and guinea fowls eggs, to over 12 in
the eggs Of ducks and geese. The pro
tein content runs from II to 13 PEI
cent in eggs of all varieties of fowls
named. There is really little difference
in the nutritive value of the different
kinds of eggs.

the creeping horror which had seized

struck when the man whom 1 had my

contretemps which had occurred in At

given to it by the repetition of some

pose, by which an effort was made to
prove that Miss futile found it hard

No bitterness in this statement, only
tinued to question her. He asked for
an account Of her childhood and forced
her to lay bare the nature of her rela-

gained by this, for their relations seem
ed to have been of sympathetic char
acter up to the time of Neronica's re-
turn from school, when they changed
somewhat, but how or why Miss Tut
tie was naturally averse to saying.
Indeed she almost refused to do so,

CHAPTER XIV.
" DO not know why the coroner had
solong delayed to call this witness.
What he said was in the way Of
confirming the last witness testi-
mony as to his having been at the
Moore house on Tuesday evening. Mr..
Moore, who was very particular as to
dates and days, admitted that the light
which he had seen in certain window
Of his ancestral home on the evening
when he summoned the police was but
the repetition Of one he had detected
there the evening before. 1t was this
repetition which alarmed him and
caused him to break through all his
usual habits and leave his home at
night to notify the police.
The coroner asked him If he had seen
Mr.. Jeffrey go III on the night in cues
ton; If he had ever seen any one go in
there since the wedding, or even If he
had seen any one lettering about the
steps or sneaking into the rear yard
But the answer was always no; these
same noes growing more and more en-
phaic, and the gentleman more and
more impenetrable and dignitied as the
examination went on. In fact, he was
as unassailable witness as have
ever heard testify before any jury.
Beyond the fact already mentioned Of
his having observed light in the oppo-
site house on the two evenings in Ques-
ton he admitted nothing. His life in
the little cottage was SO engrossing, he
had his organ, his dog, why should he
look out of the window? Had it not
been for his usual habit of letting his
dog run the pavements for quarter Of
an hour before finally locking up for
the night he would not have seen as
much as he did.
Have you any stated hour for do
ing this7" the coroner now asked.
Eyes; half past O."
"And was this the hour when you
saw that light?"
Eyes; both times"
AS he had appeared at the station
house at few minutes before 10, he
was probably correct in this statement.
He wound up with such distinct
ASPSIAlAO11 VI LID AOlWCk CAAPA1lAS dS-
sertion as to the presence Of light in
the old house on Tuesday as well as
Wednesday evening that Mr.. Jeffrey's
testimony in this regard received de-
cided confirmation. looked to see
some open recognition Of this, when
suddenly and with persistence I'M
derstood only by the police the coro-
ner recalled Mr.. jeffrey and asked him
what proof he had to offer that his
visit Of Tuesday had not been repeated
the next night and that he was not in
the building when that fatal trigger
was pulled.
At this leading question a lawyer
sitting near me edged himself forward
as If he hoped for some sign from Mr..
jeffrey which would warrant him in
interfering. But Mr.. jeffrey gave no
such sign. doubt If he even noticed
