be as little as an inch in a hundred
feet it is clear that an error of three
inches either up or down in the proper
laying Of the tile might cause water to
stand to a sufficient depth in the tile
to practically fill one three inches in
diameter. and this would cause the
sitting up of the tile so as in time to
render the section above the error in
laying entirely inefficient.
When the tile has been brought
finally into place great care should be
taken to turn each piece until close
joint is secured on the top and as far
as possible down the side and to see
that it lies solidly upon it's bed before
any filling is placed over it. Enough
earth should then be added to bold the
tile firmly and prevent their becoming
displaced when the final filing is done
1t is important that the filling or all
but the final leveling should be done
as early as practicable, as there is
great danger from heavy rains wash

TILE DRAINING A FIELD.

Importance of Paying Attention to All
"Details of the Work.
The first and most important consid-
Grafton in the draining of any field IS
how to secure proper outlet. This, If
possible, should have free outfall al
ways above water and so protected as
never to become INSTRUCTED. If the out
let is permitted to terminate beneath
water certain section of the drain
must remain continuously full OF
water, and under these conditions
there is danger of silt depositing, clos
ing the drain and rendering the whole
system ineffective.
It should be so made as to be unin-
jured by freezing and not in danger Of
being clogged through the tramping of
animals about it. Either sewer tile or
vitrified draintile, which will not be
crumbled by the action of frost, should
be laid for the first fifteen or twenty
feet. If neither Of these are available
the next best plan is to bed the ordi-
nary tile in good concrete to depth
of four or five inches and at the mouth
build up with the concrete protect
ing face sufficient to prevent the cav
ing of earth about the outlet. 1t is well,
too. to extend the concrete in a slop-
ing apron two or three feet, on which
the water may spill without eroding.
Across the mouth of the tile there
should be bedded in the concrete when
it is laid a few vertical bars of half
inch iron rod to prevent the entrance
Of animals. The outlet may discharge
into stream or lake or into an open
ditch, but in whatever place there
should be no possibility Of it ever be-
ing more than temporarily under water
or otherwise INSTRUCTED.
Unless the fall for the drain can be
very considerable it's laying must be
done with great care, the amount Of
care to secure perfectly uniform grad e
increasing the smaller the fall must
be- To illustrate, in case the fall must

The week in Congress has been of
great interest and Importance in
legislative matters. The House has
passed the Canadian Reciprocity
Bill by a large majority and it is pre-
dicted that the bill will pass the
Senate. 1t will not, however, have
smooth sailing and if it were not
for the impression that the PRESIDE mt
will call an extra session of Con-
gress almost Immediately after the
4th of March, provided the Senate
does not vote on the reciprocity bill,
it is doubtful if vote could be had
before the 4th of March. If the bill
comes to vote, there is but little
doubt that it will be passed. because
a majority in favor of the bill IN the
senate is conceded, but owing to
parliamentary usage in the Senate
there can be limitess debate, ano
the upper house has some limitless
debators who are quite capable OF
talking the bill into the next ses-
sion.

Suffered at the post-oflce at Washburn
Wisconsin, as second-class mail matter.

There is much unfavorable COM
ment from all parties in reference to
what is called the "blundering
bIatherskite diplomacy or rather
the lack of it. of the Democratic
heir-apparent to the speakership OF
the House of Represen tatives.
Nothing could have been more in
opportune than the statement tha'
reciprocal trade relations were pre-
liminary to the annexation OF Brlt'>f
America, and foolish remark MAJ
be the ruin of what promised to be d
most benefcient trade arrangement.
It is time for the Democratic MAJOR
ty to pause and reconsider, the pro-
priety of electlng a political marplot
to high office. A hundred or
more years ago there was duking
stool in England for silencing old
women who talked too much. An
appropriation for such an instru-
ment and water tank would not be
bad for the National Capitol.
It is something more than oppor-
tune that the exposure of the great
lumber trust comes fast upon the
heels of reciprocity with Canada and
the proposed free importation OF
lumber from that couE try. The
Bureau of Corporations has just fur
nished the information that forty
years ago Is per cent of the timber
of the country was owned by the
government, but at present ~ per
cent CT it is owned by private per-
sons. 1t is apparent that the Unit
States must conserve with great
est care the small remaining supply
of timber and, further, it must, if
possible scotch the tyust that is
monopolizing with view to increas'
ing still further the exorbitant cost
of such timber as is not at present

PROFITABLE LOTTERY
Gambling EnrIches Government, But

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE lottery
is a profitable scheme in Cuba and
the returns to the war department
show that last year the Cuban govern
ment received from this source $4,000
600 profit, which represents ten per
cent. Of the entire annual receipts
from all sources.
These official advices illustrated the
tremendous odds against the buyer OF
a lottery ticket Tickets to the value
OF 100000 remained unsold last year
and these, of course, were regarded as
government holdings and the govern
ment was consequently entitled TO
any prizes drawn by the numbers on
that list. AS a matter of fact out OF
the 100000 worth OF tickets the gov.
eminent drew only 100000 in prizes.
But despite this revenue the Cuban
government is seriously contemplat.
