The Poorly Drained Pasture.

One has but to keep his eyes open
to see that the number of pastures
that are only partly. drained are very
numerous. Last summer we noticed
one of these pastures not far from
Chicago. There was an undrained
pond In it and the cows were standing
In the shallow water, which they had
churned into thick paste. AS water,
the liquid was a failure. 1t was
simply a source Of contamination to
the milk supply.
We could point out pastures that
for a generation have failed to pro-
vide the feed they should provide for
the reason that too much water stands
in them at all times of year. All
around this wet area is damp area
on which grows blue flag and duck
grass, neither of which is eaten or
can be eaten by the COWS. The land Is
doing its best to produce something,
but the grasses that are valuable to
man cannot grow in such soil.
1t is small matter to drain such
land. Usually the fall is sufficient to
make it necessary only to dig a ditch
through the wettest portion and draw
on the water. Even the open pasture
ditch is better than nothing, though
this is not to be compared in service
ability TO pasture ditch that has tile
in the bottom and is closed up and
seeded over to grass.
Most of the poorly drained pastures
have no drainage except that given
them by nature. The draining that
has been done on the farm has been
given to the parts of the farm that
are regarded as arabic or that are
kept in meadows and orchards. It
will pay to drain the pasture as Ger
tainly as it will pay to drain the res,
OF the farm, though the profits from
draining there may not be so great
as in the case of the orchard land
or the hay meadow.-Farmers Re

On the Safe Side.

An old woman who persisted in bow
ing during church service whenever
the name of Satan was mentionedrwas
reprimanded by the minister for so
unseemly a habit. The reproof had,
however, no effect. and the minister
asked her finally, in evaporation, why
she thought it necessary to bow.
"Well," she replied. "civility costs
nothing, and you never know what will
happen" Ih1sNs

Humors Of Golf in Egypt.

There are many humorous things
connected with golf in Egypt, accord
ing to the Argonaut. There are what
might be called extra hazardous has-
ards; for example, at one links, IN
upper Egypt, the golf course wound its
desert way past an oasis on which was
luxuriant field Of clover. A sliced
ball was extremely apt to hide itself IN
this clover. The following new rule
was made by the Arabs. That nobody
in boots or shoes could enter the oasis
limits to search for balls; only bare
footed people otherwise Arabs were
allowed to enter
Every day we found large popula'
ton Of Arabs around the oasis waiting
for golf balls to 60 to grass. Some
times, I fear, they were assisted there.
1t required much baksheesh to ses
them out. At last there were so many
lost balls that an investigation was
made by the green committee. An od
woman was discovered hiding near tns
clover hazard. When you made nne'
long approach, the old lady graDpeo
