Qllinois) farmer in Farmers Review.
The general practice here is TO select
the seed corn when 1t is being husked.
Not more than ten per cent OF the
farmers select their seed in the field
Nearly all the farmers, however, keep
their corn unshelled. Farmers here
have corn shelters, which they use in

PROPER LOCATION OF DRAINS.
Before Beginning Work Make Accu-
rate Map Of Area to Be Drained.

John T. Stewart, in an address to
Minnesota farmers. said:
The basis for all drainage improve
ments is an accurate map Of the area
to be drained. Such a map, known
as topographic map, should show all
local improvements. the boundaries Of
lands TO be benefited by the drain
age and the boundary OF the water
shed. Ii should also show the eleva-
ton above a fixed point OF all sloughs.
low lands and the tops OF ridges
through which IL might be necessary
20 construct the outlet channel. and
wherever practicable and funds are
available five-foot contours should be
sketched of the field.
With such n map the engineer can
determine the best outlet and route
for the proposed channel. on this
map the location for the proposed
drains can be laid out their grade.
size and approximate cost determined.
after which the ditch may be staked
out on the ground. making such minor
changes as are found necessary by
closer study OF the route Where a
tho notes plated il is economy 10 es-
tablish a few permanent marks. from
which the survey could be continued.
or another engineer at some future
time could take up the work where it
has been LEFT on without having 10
duplicate that which has already been
done. Land owners should select
points for these marks where there is
little danger OF their being molested
and then see TO IL that they are pre-
served.
Farmers as n rule do not realize the
advantages in preserving survey mon
uments. This fact alone has been
the cause of waste OF much money
by the duplication OF work. Surveys
for drainage often costing several
hundreds OF dollars, have frequently
been made. and where the construc-
ton work was not carried out the
notes and plats were never filed and
no permanent mark left. When the
work is taken up a few years later. il
is necessary TO duplicate the survey.
A few additional dollars spent in
making permanent marks and in pre-
pairing the records for filing would
have preserved the entire work for
future use.
In maiy cases an engineer is en-
ployed TO stake out q drain on a
route which is supposed to be the
best one, no examination is made for
another route or outlet, the area OF
the watershed is not looked up As
result the size OF the ditch is mere
ly a guess. Time may develop the fact
that the best route was not selected,
and the ditch is either too large or
too small, and consequently does not
perform its work satisfactorily. A
ditch being improperly located either
does not drain all the land it should,
or is expensive to construct or
maintain.

HELPFUL FARM HINTS.

Hay and harvesting are at hand.
but the machinery does most of the
work.
It is better to sacrifice a few bushels
OF grain than to cut down fine row
of trees.
The latest use OF cement is in the
construction OF tile. which proves to
be more durable than clay and nearly
as cheap.
When your soil is infested with sor-
rel you may know that it is acid and
needs lime. Sorrel will not grow
except on acid soil.
Courage and perseverance are valu-
able assets for the farmer. There are
many discouraging things in farming.
but the good men are the ones that
never say die.

AXLE GREASE.
It Does Not Pay to Use Any But the
Best.

The usefulness and durability Of a
wagon or dray depends greatly upon
the proper care of the wheels and
aXles. The prevailing idea among both
farmers and draymen is that grease is
grease anywhere and il doesn't matter
much what kind or how it is applied.
just SO it is applied. Many wagon
owners cut the bookings out OF their
wagon wheels 10y some inferior lubri-
cant. Many of these run and leave the
spindle dry or form a stin. gritty sub
stance in the wheel which is very bad.
The right axle grease should have
proper body; should not be so thin as

are plenty OF reliable axle greases on

are not reliable. Get a good. expen-
