line, 50 when the markham gets
ready to level the bottom of the ditch
or make il ready for the tile, he sets
his 6 foot stick at the bottom and
sighting over its top to the flags, he
can tell in a second just where he is
from grade line. The beauty OF this
plan is its exactnesS and convenience.
II being so convenient the markham
is not apt to neglect its use every two
or three feet When il is desired 10
move these flags to any other stations,
the same plan is followed From my
observation and experience | do not
think this plan can be improved on.
In contracting tile work | never allow
il covered until | have inspected it
and see that there are no bad tile or
no bad laying of them. There is no
way have seen that beats filling the
bitches with a pillow. Using a pole
about 10 feet long for a double tree
and having two horses behind the
pillow and a third horse on opposite
side Of the ditch. Before commenc-
ing to fill with the pillow, however, il
is necessary to fill in sufficient dirt
with a shovel to key the tile or keep
them from being misplaced from the
dirt falling on them from this pillow.
This generally require the contrac-
tor to do.
All the tools needed is a thing
spade a long handled shovel and a
crammer or grader. The latter is
used only in finishing the bottom of
the ditch and is very essential.

Suggestions for Thing Land.

Editor Times:-Complying with
your request for a letter on farm
drainage, herewith give you some of
my experiences and ideas. In way
| have been urging the vast benefit to
be derived from thing ever since
have been in Bates county. Until
within the last three years it was not
possible to get tile in our county in
less than car load lots at a price that
would permit their use. Tile until
the past six months could be had at
Rich Hill as cheaply as they could be
bought most anywhere. | regret to
say prices have now been advanced
but not to prohibitive price.
However, any two or three farm
ers could club together and get car
load and get prices that would be rea-
sonable either from the Rich Hill fac
tory or the factory at Creighton, Mo.
A car load of tile does not 90 so far,
but that most any farm in Bates coun-
ty needs one or possibly several car
loads.
Some of our farmers hesitate about
thing, because they say it takes
sometime for the tile to get to doing
full service. Our esteemed friend p.
j. Jewett raised that objection to til
ing in discussion of the matter with
him at one time, and | replied that if
that were true, it was all the stronger
reason why it should be gotten in the
groundiearlier. think it is true thai
the full benefit of thing in our Bate:

possibly two to four years, but it j!

results increase until the tile does al

University Of Illinois has investigat
ed thing layed in real hard pan, ant
found at the end of five years the till

for the first three years very little
benefit was noticeable.

Crowell that in reality no one can al

ROup and Its Cure.

By Mrs. A. Y Guy'or, secretary OF the Bates
County Poultry Assoc anon
AT this time of year when the
weather changes from warm to cold
your chickens are very apt to catch
cold, which, if not checked, may de-
velope into roup. The AK is the
quickest and safest way of prevent
ing the spread of the disease as it is
very contagious and spreads rapidly.
If the disease has not become too Sc
we're you may not have a very long
siege of it. Get Peroxide of Hydro
gen and syringe the mouth andnostrils
thoroughly three times day. Twice
daily give one-half teaspoon coaloil
and keep affected birds strictly quar-
intined in warm dry place and feed
only light feed. To prevent your
flock from contracting roup. after
they have gone to roost take an old
iron kettle, put in some Goals of fire,
set under the roost and sprinkle sui
phur over Goals till the fumes are as
strong as the birds can stand, leaving
door Of house open all the time. This
should be repeated until you are sure
all disease is stamped out and it is
best to use every other night. Keep
fresh drinking water for them at all
times with one teaspoon coaloil to
one gallon water. This is very obi
Gus but infallible if persiStently fol-
lowed.
Those of you who expect to wash
birds for the coming January show,
be very careful to keepbird in awarm
dry place after washing. When you
take them home after the show do not
turn out of coop. Wait till dark put
them on the roost and let them out
next day. After being cooped and
in warm building for three days
they must be cared for carefully or
they viii catch cold. We will use a
disinfectant twice daily during the
show and use every precaution for
the welfare Of your birds. We are
working very hard on our catalogue
and will have ready for distribution
as soon as possible. We will offer
premiums on all standard varieties,
so don't wait for catalogue, get your
birds ready. We want to send a cat
alogue to every poultry raiser, but il
is rather difficult task in factimpos
sible to find out all names so il yor
will kindly send me your name on .
postal il will insure you a catalogue
for our Big January 26-27-2S Poultry
Show.

the mud, and that means to raise
nothing from that land. Ii these
places were properly tiled, they would
be dry the first places in the field,
and in consequence the farming
operations could be two weeks ahead
OF the fellow working similar land
not tiled. This same condition would
maintain throughout the season and
in the cultivation of corn crop means
volumes. II would mean more thor
ough cultivation, less weeds and
largely incaeased yields. The in
creased yield in any normal year
would go long way toward paying
for the tile.
Right here | want to tell little OF
my own experience which is illustra-
tive. In 1908 thoroughly tiled about
l25 acres of Marias Des Cygnes valley
land. That fall | sowed it all to
wheat. The harvest of 1909 all will
remember as very wet one, and for
days and days harvest waited for
solid footing for machinery. One
day in harvest time but before any
harvesting had been done on the up
land, | met my friend John Stanley,
and as he knew | had this wheat in,
he asked me, when | expected to
harvest, and then laughed as though
he thought he had pulled off joke
on me. | had the pleasure of telling
Mr.. Stanley that we were cutting
wheat at that very time, and that we
had not been delayed one hour on &C.
count of soft ground; and that was a
fact. But for the thing had in that
land could not have harvested a
great deal of at all. In this ground
the thing gave almost entire RELIEF
the first year.
/ think the matter of laying the tile
and digging the trenches very sim
pie proposition on nearly all uplands
as the fall is SO great that all on,
needs is to keep the grade line, Of
bottom Of the trench, regular ant
smooth and the trench as uniform il
depth as possible.
It Is important that one knows HI
has the grade line correct, and If HI
has not his lines surveyed (which
think seldom necessary on but littl'

enough. now close 10 put your INES
OF thing together is a matter to be
determined entirely from the lay and
nature Of the soil. Close, tight soil
requiring, Of course, more lines of
tile than open loose soils or soils with
gravely subsoil. | have tiled some
of my land, where the lines of tile
were 100 feet apart and some 100 feet
apart, and while some OF it is giving
complete service, if were to make
any changes in future work, it would
be to lay the lines closer rather than
farther apart.
On the small valleys of our county
there is a vast amount of the very
best of land that should nearly all
have some thing. In thing these
level lands | think one should have
the levels run in all cases. We have
few men, indeed, who are experience
ed enough to dig these trenches by
eye.
In digging to survey always lay
off the line where want it, and put
station pegs at every 100 feet num-
boring them from 70 beginning up.
| also put peg at each of these sta
tons driven just to the top of the
ground from which the level is taken.
When the surveyor gives you the
depth of your ditch at each of these
stations, Iuse following plan to have
the ditch cut exactly to the grade line
!, all the distance, and | have seen and
heard of many plans, but none came
up to this in my estimation. 1t is
| what Tiers call the flag system OF
/ plan. 1t consists of two bands about
Is inches long 4 inches wide with
I straight edges and a small spirit leve
set in the top side. These are each
, fastened to IL inch rod about 5 or

with straight measuring stick 6 fee
, long laid off in feet and tenths O

is the part that is apt to bother some
, but it is really very simple when un
derstood.
