MULLEN SOUSED
 IN THE LAKE

The Post Gntelligencer of the 27th has long story of exciting scene following bootball game between the the Lincoln High and the Washington university in which several young men well known up this way figured. Char
 ley Mullen, for instance, who played such fast ball for first base with the A.. Bs. here during the season, and who is a freshman at the university, was tossed into lake Washington for break ing the rules made by his elders at the varsity forbiddlnc his talking with ladies on the grounds. Mullen got the nest of those sent to execute the law 10 such an extent that he was sentenced to be thrown into the lake with his clothes on at q later date. J. Casey, of Juneau, was given plunge for snok- ing contrary to order. It Is to be re- marked in this connection that Ma guire, who played short stop with the A. Bs is captain of the Lincoln High foot ball team and played quarter back and Pike is playing right half, so tt is clear the report that the ooys were outlawed as amateurs for playing here is not true. Royal Pul'en is playing on the university team.

Washington, Oct. ? The cause of the removal of Marshal Perry of the Third judicial district has been made public. It seems that the whole trouble arose through Perry not obey'ng orders with sufficient promptness, directing him to dismiss his deputy, Dillow. Dillow had been guilty of writing what was deemed by the head of the department at Washington, as an impertinent letter. Judge Gunntson is here and has had a talk with Mir. Bonaparte of the Department Of Justice and it is believed that Perry will be reinstated.

TIME OF FATTENlNo.
IN tho Early Spring and the Fall tho
Best Gains Are Made.

A writer on the fattening Of hogs
says: There are two seasons Of the
year when the greatest gains can be
made In hogs of the same type and
under similar conditions with the
same quantity of corn. These are in
the early spring, before the weather
becomes excessively hot, and in Sep
tember, October and November, be,
fore it becomes excessively cold. Pru-
dent farmers, therefore, aim to do the
bulk of their feeding in these months.
The objection to early fall feeding lies
in this, that the packers usually make
q combined effort to beat down the
price of hogs at the beginning of the
packing season. The fact that very
large per cent. of the hogs are fed
In the fall Of the year, and thrown
upon the market, enables them to do
so in ordinary seasons without much
difficulty. This season, however, is
likely to prove an exception. The
packing season begins the 1st of No.
venber, and the sharp demand at
present prices for both live hogs and
pork products makes it probable that
the usual effort will not be made, or,
at least, not with the same earnest
ness this year. While it is true, as a
rule, that higher prices prevail in Feb
ruary and March than in November
and December, the difficulty in making
weights during the irst-named
months, and the heavy expense in
volved in the way of keeping up the
animal heat, go far to neutralize the
difference in prices. Where the farm
er does not sell in car load lots it is a
good thing to have few hogs to turn
off at different seasons of the year. It
is also good plan to have the largest
lots to turn off at the close of the sea-
son, when the greatest gains can be
made with the same amount of corn.

a comparatively fiat piece of ground
where there are no particular low
lying channels. 1t is better to locate
the main at one end or side and place
the laterals in parallel lines from one
side. The depth of the drain will de-
pend upon two conditions: The ma
ture of the soil and the average dis
tance of the ground water below the
surface, four feet is usually. consid-
cred deep and two feet shallow drain
age. Yhe distance apart of the drain
will depend on the depth. The dis
tance is also dependent upon the
texture of the soil through which
the water has to filter. In fine clay
soil it should not be placed deep, but
close together. In laying tile it
should be begun at the outlet. AS
to the quality Of drain tile, it is very
essential to select a tile that will not
Dissolve or scale when exposed to
frost. Cement tile are no experiment
haVlng been tested and tried. &C.
ment tile are porus and give effect

AS to durability, cement tile grows
stronger with age; as to frost resist
ance, cement tile can be easily dis
tributed along the line of the ditch
in winter when hauling is easy over
the frosted ground, and will with.
stand alternate freezing and thawing
without injury even when partially
immersed in, water. AS to uniformity
of shape, cement tile are always true
to the mould and it is therefore cas-
ier to lay cement tile. AS to cost, an.
other advantage of no small import
ance is the fact that cement tile is
cheaper in first COST.

TILE DRAINAGE ON THE FARM

A&AAA 0ACAAAAaxASx ON AA44l = AltNxs
To the Farmers:
The main object of drainage is to
rid the soil of the surplus water
which prevents plant growth, but
there are other things accomplished
with the removal of water. The first
is that soils that are drained have
better ventilation. All plant roots
require air and when the soil spaces
are filled with water there is little
air there. Soils are ventilated by
drainage in several different ways
First as the soil drains out it sinks
and leaves cracks through which the
air can pass. Second the lines of
tile themselves form passageways
through which air is forced
with every change in at
mospheric pressure; third, when
water from a heavy rain passes off
through the drain tile fresh air is
drawn in behind it. The drainage in
creaseS the room Whlch rOOts occupy
by lowering the ground water in the
soil. 1t also makes the ground warm
er as the amount of water that comes
to the surface for evaporation is de-
creased. By getting rid of the sur
plus water the amount of soil mOis-
ture that is available to the plant
is increased. In laying out a drain
age system the first thing to do is to
decide on the location of the outlets.
These should be at the lowest avail
able point so as to get the greatest
amount of fall. The main drain
should follow the line and direction
of the lowest laying ground. The size
of the main drain will depend upon it's
fall and area which it drains, the
greater the fall the smaller may be
the tile. This should be carefully con-
sidered, not to get the tile too small.
The main drain can be located in
the center Of the area and the later
ais branch OF from either side or on
