All Should Help.

No town will become good business center as long as it's business men rely upon a few business men to bring trade to town. Too often the men with a few lines of trade are about the only one that reach out for custom. Other merchants wait until these business men influence themselves with trade that naturally drifts to their place. A public spirited man asks himself if he is doing his part to attract people to town. Any person who induces people to come to town to trade is helping the entire business community and no town is a success unless all lines of trade are working to extend business as far as possible and trying to bring a larger territory in the circle of which the town is the business center.

I once employed professional ditcher
to drain slough or pond hole, and,
owing to it's failure to perform its
work, the tiles we're taken up and the
bottom of the ditch properly graded
with a level, when it was discovered
that the grade at the outlet Of the ditch
was 10 inches higher than the point it
was intended to drain. OF course. such
q piece of work proved Of short dura-
ton and very expensive.
It often happens that the outlets of
drains are allowed to become obstruct-
ed with silt, coarse grass, ETC., render
ing them nearly or quite useless. To
those who may contemplate the i'm
provement of their farms by inaug-
urating a system of tile drainage, but
are deferred from doing SO owing to
the impossibility of obtaining profess
sional ditcher, allow me to state that
the services of ordinary farm help with
the oversight and assistance Of the
farmer himself give as good, II not
better, results. Where suitable fall
is plainly visible, it is not essential
that level be used, providing the bot
tom Of the ditch has an even grade
and is free from irregularities. But
where a doubt exists, level, as shown
in the accompanying diagram, should
be used.

A TALK ON TILE DRAINING.
Simple Essentials Which Will Assure
Work That Will Last and
Prove Effective.

In my experience have learned
that, as rule. tiles of too small capac-
ity have been laid with the expecta-
ton of carrying away the vast volume
of water that often suddenly collects
in deep depressions after heavy rain.
Four-inch tile is often required, and a
tile of less than three inches in diam
eter, inside measurement, should never
be used. The work of grading the bot
tom of the ditch for the reception Of
the tile often results in failure. owing
to depressions or irregularities re-
naming where silt or other foreign
matter accumulates in the tile, thus
obstructing the flow of water.
The final grade Of ditch should
never be finished, especially where q
doubt exists in regard to required fall,
without the aid Of a level, and the
work should never be trusted to the
eye Of anyone, no matter. how expert

Grounding Barbed Wire Fences.

Grounding Barbed Wire Fences.
A letter from Atchison, Kan, says
that an unusual number of live stock
have been killed this summer by light
ming running along barbed-wire fences.
Twelve cattle were thus killed recently
near Pennington; they stood with their
heads against the wire. Electricians
say there is no limit to the amount of
electricity barbed wire can carry, but
that farmers can prevent this killing of
live stock by grounding the wires fire.
quently along the fence-that is, run a
wire connected with the barbed wires
into the ground from the posts at a dis
lance of about 100 feet. These grounded
wires will carry the electricity into the
ground. A charge of lightning striking
a barbed wire will kill anything touch
ing the wire, even though the fence be
20 miles long.

POINT TO Be CONSIDERED.
VIII the Farmers Accept Ala Of City
Friends Of Good Roads or Treat
Them AZ Neddlersp

among those interested In road I'M
provement the farmers, of course
stand first. The character and condi.
ton of the roads are of vital interest
to them every day in the year. Tht
farmers until recently have been com.
PEELED to struggle with the road prob
lem without much help or encourage.
ment from any other class. Now, how.
ever, some strong elements of the city
population are rallying to their sup
port. Among these may be named thu
manufacturers of road building ma
chinery, the makers and users of bi.
cycles and automobiles and men of the
cities who have money invested in thu
country. These people are entering
into the work for road improvement
with even more enthusiasm and yea.
than the farmers.
Just now the farmers who want bet
ter roads are brought face to face with
a most important question: Will b.,
accept the assistance of these city
allies? Will he welcome the aid of the
machinery man, the capitalist, the bi.
cyclist and the automobilist? Or will
he treat them as schemers who are
trying to NEEDLE with his affairs?
The answer to these questions ought
to depend on what these city friends
of good roads are proposing to do. II
they propose to have the country roads
improved in order to increase Their
business, and enhance their pleasures
wholly at the expense of the farmer
then he should spurn the proffered
alliance. II, on the contrary, they are
proposing, through state and national
taxation, to lift a large part of the
burden of the farmer and place it or
the taxpayers of the cities. he ought
to bid them welcome and extend the
glad hand.
This is live question for the farm
er to consider and answer. Already
the opponents of state and national
aid are at work trying to sow seeds o.
suspicion in the minds of the farmers
and they will do their best to proven
any cooperation between the country
and city friends of good roads
AS matter of fact, state and ma
tional aid offer the only hope of gen
eral road Improvement, and such ait
can never be secured If the city peopl,
array themselves against it. Unless
the farmers are wholly blind to theil
own interests they will welcome ait
from any and every source, and vii
make every effort to secure the power
full aid of the state and federal gov
ernments.

Best Results from Meadows.

The Michigan experiment station
found after repeated tests that about
four times as much food can be obtained
from a meadow by allowing it to mature
hay than by pasturing it. This means
that four COWS can be kept on the land
by growing hay instead Of pasturing 1t;
or, to show it in another light, four
times as much land is required for pas
ture as for hay, for the same number Of
cattle. Green food is given by grow
ing soiling crops, but in soiling from
two to three times the number of COWS
can be maintained than by pasturing.

LITTLE MARKETING HINTS.
Shippers Should Study the Conditions
Of Trade Rather Than Depend
on Chuck"

OF all the practical points In farming
there is not one that has greater claim on
the attention of the raiser Of farm prod
ucts than the art of marketing. Many a
farmer puts tons Of energy into produc-
ing first-class fruits, cereals, or live
stock and when it comes to putting them
on the market acts with childish judg-
ment that loses him many a fine margin
that he might gain.
There is no better way to practically
illustrate the market feature of farming
than for farmers to visit their markets
q few times each year and see just how
their commission men handle their con-
signments. There are innumerable lit
tie hints farmer of good judgment can
pick up any time he visits a large pro-
duce or live stock market. He should
study very carefully the best seasons
to market his produce, and when the
market looks favorable should hustle
his consignments in as promptly as pos
sible.
The shipper must bear in mind that
there are few honest commission men
at least and that. being on the ground
from day to day must know the market
better than man looking at it at long
range. As rule the seller of live stock
does his best to get the top price, but
he must follow the market. What the
shipper or producer of live stock, vege-
tables or fruit must look out for is to
get what the market wants and when it
is wanted. To illustrate the point will
tell Of conversation a first-class butch
ier had with seller Of cattle.
"Your cattle look all right" said the
butcher, ''but am going slow because
this year all cattle that have had any
grass, kill spongy. We must make an
allowance on that. It has been that way
this year. ."
This is only one phase of the business
and serves to show that the shipper
must ever keep In mind the exact state
of the trade and to closely follow Its
~ Luck frequently aids theship-
per. but good judgment on market con-
ditions is better than trusting to luck
