tile. 1t is good plan to use sewer
pipe for few feet back from the out
let, as 1t is not so easily displaced by
freezing.
Many drains are built with an out
let in a box at the side Of the road or
next to neighbours fence. Such an
outlet is not very satisfactory. but
sometimes it is the best that can be
provided. The box should be we'll
built to keep out rubbish. The mouth
Of the tile in this as we'll as in other
forms of outlets should be covered to
keep out small animals during dry
weather. The bottom Of the box should
be at least foot below the tile. The
silt that settles here should be clean
ed out occasionally. A much better
plan than the use Of tile box is to CO.
operate with the road authorities or
with the neighbors and extend the line
Of tile to some permanent outlet
Laying the Tile.
1t rarely pays farmer to lay his
watch Of the men whom he hires to do
the work. A little carelessness in lay
ing the tile may make the drainage
system practically worthless. If at
any place the tile dips an inch below
the grade line. that inch will fill up
with silt, and the capacity Of the whole
system will be reduced that much.
The old saying that a chain Is no
stronger than its weakest link applies
with especial force to tile drain. No
man can lay tile to grade accurately
by eye. even II there is water running
in the ditch at the time. Remember
that it is your money that is paying
for the drain and that it is your priv
ilege to have it put in as you want 1t.
The only way to get the tile laid ex-
actly to grade Is to use targets. When
an engineer lays out line Of the tile
he sets row Of grade stakes. each
one marked with the depth the ditch is
to be at that point. When the ditch
Is down nearly to the required point
targets are set up at these grade
stakes. A target consists Of an upright
stick on each side Of the ditch with
a crossbar clamped to it. These cross
bars should be adjusted so that they
are level and just seven feet above the
grade line. For instance, II the cut
marked on the grade stake IS four
feet the crosshar should be three feet
above the stake. After number OF
these targets have been set a string Is
stretched across the tops of them
Then measuring stick seven feet long
will just reach from the string to the
correct grade line. With one man to
hold the measuring stick and another
to scrape ont the bottom OF the ditch.
1t can be dug to grade very accurately.
or course both digging the ditch
and laying the tile should begin at the
outlet Don't let the men stand on
the bank and lay the tile with hook.
Make them get down into the ditch
and put them IN by hand. standing on
those already laid to hold them In
place Hy handling each tile any
cracked or imperfect ones can ho els
covered and thrown out. After the
tile are laid II little dirt should be
scraped from the side Of the ditch to
hold them In place. AS soon as the
wnoe line Is ia 10 time should be lost

THE KANSAS STATE FAIR
Reports of Various Committees OH
the Subject.

A continuation of the annual meet
ing of the Kansas Exposition company
was held this noon at the quarters OF
the Commercial club, a recess having
been taken from Monday evening.
Since the gathering Monday even
ing of the stockholders of the old
company the charter has been
amended and the name changed 20 the
Kansas State Fair association. The
capital stock of the new concern is
$4,000 and will soon be increased
to 100000.
The secretary of the Commercial
club was authorized by vote of those
present at the meeting today 70 in
wife j. G. Simpson. who for fourteen
years has been the secretary of the
Iowa fair. to be present on THU sday
meeting to be held at the Commercial
club.
Secretary Simpson, having had
years of experience in conducting one
of the greatest fairs in the country, is
well qualified to offer valuable sub
gestions to the promoters of the new
Kansas organization. 1t is likely that
one or two other prominent speakers
from points in Kansas will be asked to
be present for the occasion.
This meeting in case it is possible for
Secretary Simpson to accept the in
vitation for this date, will likely be
followed by other similar meetings. H.
w. McAfee met Secretary Simpson In
Chicago and was told that an address
could be arranged for at any time, SO It
is probable that the invitation to speak
will be accepted. 1t is the plan of the
members of the committee of fifteen
which acts in an advisory capacity in
connection with the new organization,
to ask Secretary Simpson to take din
ner with them preceding the enthusi-
asn meeting which will be held at 81
o'clock
The question of dates for the Topeka
fair next fall was discussed but as the
matter is an important one decision
will not be made until next week. H.
w. McAfee reported that he and his fell
low committeeman while in Chicago Sc
cured the support of IL prominent
breeders associations Of the country
which practically assures the success of
the live stock department of the fair.
It was the sentiment of the meeting
that the city council should refuse
license to any circus during fair week
tanning to the licensing of SHOWS and
circuses so that it will be impossible
for circus to be in Topeka during fair
week to compete with the fair.
A vote of thanks was taken appre-
ciative of the work that Attorney John
Dawson and Samuel E. Lux have done
in connection with the reorganization
of the old company.
A recess was taken until Tuesday
noon next.
