River Trading Much Improved.

RIVER Irad1ng Much Improved.
The river trade between here and
the first of the year, and all the steam
ers are carrying big freights. The
steamer Katie has been laid up for
month waiting on repairs to her
boiler. The trade is such now that
all three of the steamers of the South
ern Transportation Company could be
used to good advantage, said Manager
Carolan yesterday. On account of the
heavy freight the boats are running a
day behind their schedules.

Canada's Attractions.

The Dominion Exhibition is one
that attracts hundreds of thousands
each year. This year it will be held
in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada), and
with the material assistance given it
by the Dominion Government, it will
be one of the most successful ever
held Besides the number of special
attractions that will be offered, there
will be brought together an exhibit
of the Agricultural and Industrial re-
sources of Canada such as is rarely
attempted by any country. Visitors
will be there in large numbers from
the United States, owing to the low
rates offered by railways, connecting
with the Canadian roads. 1t Is ex-
pected that Hon. Clifford Seton, Min
lister of the Interior, will be there
on the opening day to declare the ex-
hibition open. A splendid opportunity
will be afforded by this exhibition to
meet friends. Hotel accommodations
will be quite ample.

Floors in the Hoo House

Some swine raisers use floors in
their hog houses and some do not.
We find on investigation that there
is a wide difference OF opinion in
this regard The small pens that are
placed in isolated spots sometimes
have floors in them, but often do not.
One SWINE raiser says that he at first
made wooden floors in all of his
movable houses, but afterward so con.
structed them that they could be taken
out without interfering with the rest
of the structure. The movable houses
were built to set on the floors and
could be removed ny lifting OFF the
house. The floors are very advan.
tageous in cold weather when the
feeding should be done on something
rather than the snow. In summer,
when the weather is good, the hogs,
he says. are better of on the ground

SKIM IL pralnlna Land.


1t is only in modern times that
land drainage has been reduced to a
science and the drainage engineer has
put in an appearance. Previously to
this time it was thought that any fool
knew enough to dig ditch in the soil
and line it with stones or drain pipe
and fix it so the water would run
through it. This was very nearly true
in sections of New England when land
drainage came into vogue. for the rea-
son that the ditch dug was large and
the drain was made of stones: The
nat ones were laid for cover over
the wall of smaller ones, and frequent
ly the drain itself was a foot wide
and more than that high. 1t was diff
fcult to stop up a drain like that by
the sediment that ordinarily came in
with the drainage water. Then. too,
the fall was generally so great that
the water would push itself through
anyway, carrying the sediment along
with 1t. But when agriculture ex-
tendet to the plains of the west the
proposition was different one. The
great prairies were so fiat that 1t YVES
difficult often to discover in which way
the natural fall lay. Then. too, the
stones were absent and the drain tile
had to be made out of clay. This
gave rise to a business that was new
to the country, that of making drain
tile. The farmers, of course, did not
want to buy drain tile foot in diam
eter on account of the cost. So the
smaller sizes were used, and at one
time the practice was to put in tile
only two and half inches in diam
eter. This has now increased again
to four inches, which is generally con-
coded to be small enough for the de-
sired results. when properly laid.
But with tile came q new problem,
that of making the ditch so perfect
that the tile would lie even every
where. The flow of the water being
languid required to be unobstructed.
The current in the tile would seldom
have enough force to wash out the
sediment and if there was low place
in the whole length of tile that would
soon become stopped up. The novice
tried to lay some of these drains and
did so. But in a few years many of
tiese drains became stopped up, so
that they ceased to work. They had
then to be dug up or the land left
in the condition it was in before the
tile was put in. After a good many
expensive experiences of this kind the
farmers began to employ civil en-
gineers to run their lines and super
intend the laying of the tile. This
has been found to be the only safe
way in the prairie states. There are
some farmers now that think they are
smart enough to do their own drain
age work, but the attempt often proves
very costly and will continue to do so
at times. We cannot advise this sort
of economy. 1t is cheaper to pay a
drainage engineer to do the work
properly than it is to have a drainage
system that will not work or one that
has to be dug out and reconstructed.

We submitted the heads Of wheat to
Professor Garman of the Kentucky
station, who replied as follows:
The heads Of wheat enclosed by
your correspondents are affected with
what Is known as wheat scab, a dis
ease due to the attacks Of a pinlIish
or yellowish fungus, described long
ago by an English botanist under the
name Fusisporium culmorum. The dis
ease has at times been complained
of by Indiana and Ohio farmers, but
is not common in Kentucky, this being
the first complaint that has come to
me from this state. The rather cold,
damp spring just closing has encour-
aged such diseases and probably other
Kentucky farmers have suffered from
the same trouble, but failed to recog-
nize it.
The fungus attacks the chaff and
seed from the outside. causing them
10 change in color, and the seed final
ly shrivels. Often only the terminal
portion of a head is affected, but fire.
quently the injury begins at the mid
die. where it may at first affect only
a single seed and its glumes.
1t is doubtful If any treatment that
can be considered practicable would
help the affected wheat, aSd it seems
probable anyway that the disease is
one of those that are not to be con-
trolled, because very largely the re-
suit of weather conditions.
