There are eight wards represented
by one councilman each and four
councilmen at large.
Some of these twelve have tele-
phones, some have not.
This information is for any woman
who may cast her eye over this col
umn.
1t is the truth, however, that the
writer has now and then stumbled
across a man-voter-who didn't
know what ward he lived in nor the
name of his councilman.
If you are interested in seeing Miss
Hill put on the school board, there
fore. find out from your councilman
whether he is for or against her ap-
pointment and, in either event, ask
him why.

GROW SWEET POTATOES.

That They Thrive Only In the South

While the sweet potato is of tropi-

a vegetable to be grown only in the
south, experiments by the department
of agriculture show that it will grow,

Very few pears are at their best II
allowed to ripen on the tree. A good
rule is to pick when the seeds have
turned brown.
An orchard soil rich in organic mat
ter is the kind of soil we want; hence
grow a clover crop this fall and plow
under next spring.
Don't leave the culls on the ground
to rot. That is where many apple
pests come from. Pick culls up and
feed them to the hogs or cows.
The apple thrives well on a great
variety Of soils, varying from sandy
loan to heavy soils, provided It Is
well drained and otherwise well cared
for.
Profit in the orchard largely depends
upon the perfection Of the fruits raised
and the quantity. And the trees can
not produce their full capacity unless
well cared for.

Hum of the Hive.

Remember that bees crawl up In
stead of down.
Send your honey to the market in
as attractive form as possible.
Stand at the side of the hive and not
in front of it while handling your
ices.
Be sure that your bees have a good
prolific Italian queen. and the ants
will not bother them.
The honey extractor saves the bees
much time in comb building, and thus
the beekeeper can secure more honey.
Improve your bees by always rear.
ing queens and increasing from col
onies that have gathered the most
honey.
A large number OF farmers are en-
gagged extensively in honey production
Some of them ship over car of honey
each season.
Heartsease was formerly not worth
considering as honey plant because
of its scarcity. but of late years it has
become plentier. and now it Is worth
many dollars: same with dandelion-
Honey and wax were never in great
er demand than at the present time,
and Bookkeeping bids fair to take q
higher rank among the productive in
dustries than has hitherto been accord
ed it.
The present improved system of
management requires that hives should
not stand too near each other. There
should be at least six feet between
them. and ten would be a preferable
distance.
A bee expert gives away this little
secret: If bees are kept in shed the
crossest of them can be handled with
out fear Of being stung. A bee shed
ought to be long enough to give at
least two feet to each hive and sufi-
ciently wide and high. so that one can
work comfortably back Of the row Of
hives. 1t should open preferably to
the east. so as to get the morning air.
Cleaning and casing honey must be
done in a well lighted place and a
large bench or table provided for it.
The shipping cases to receive the
honey should be placed so as to face
the packer and should be arranged so
no propolis from scraping will fly into
them. 1t is desirable to have several
cases for each grade on the bench, SO
that honey of theAsame shade and fin
ish may go into the same case.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3D.
President Taft now finds himself IN
the embarrassing position of being
forced to go to his native state OF
Ohio in an effort to stem the tide
which long ago set in against him.
It is officially announced from the
White House that the President will
make half dozen speeches in Ohio
the latter part of January. This
announcement, following immediate
ly upon the enthusiastic manner in
which Senator LaFolIette was re-
ceived in the Presidents state, is
regarded as a political condition OF
more than ordinary significance.
The prediction is now made by
men familiar with conditions in Ohio
that if President Taft continues as d
candidate for another nomination he
will find himself in the embarrassing
position of going to the Chicago
convention without the solid support
of the delegation from his own state,
1t is declared by men who have can
vassed the situation that the best
the President can do is to get the
support of the delegates from Hamil-
ton County. delivered to him by
Boss" Cox.
Senator LaFolette's speeches IN
Ohio have served to cement the
opposition to Taft in his own state.
The Senator from Wisconsin,
through student of legislation aud Of
the problems Of the day, dwelt on
each of these great problems in his
several Ohio speeches.

RIVER BOTTOM DRAINS.
Dean Raymond Shows That Tiles Must
Be Used to Cbtain Results.

Dean Raymond Shows That Tiles Must
Be Used to Obtain Results.
The river bottoms Of Iowa are usual
river and almost universally with
banks slightly higher than the land
farther back, these banks forming nat
ural levees to keep the river off the
bottom lands except ut very high wa
ter, but also serving to hold water
on the bottom lands for long periods
in the spring and after food stages of
the river. As result of this forma-
ton many thousands of acres of the
richest. most valuable land are wholly
unproductive. says Dean William G..
Raymond of the Engineering State
cred by shallow ponds that dry out
only late in the season or serve only
for wild hay or inferior pastures.
Attempts to drain these lands by
open bitches have sometimes been sue
cesSful, but often have not owing to
the very slight fall that can be had,
the rapid choking of bitches by vege-
tation and the blocking of the mouth
by river silt and sand. Moreover, this
method wastes considerable quantities
of this same most valuable land that
it is sought to reclaim. An open ditch
must have easy side slopes to prevent
caving in of the sides, and the dirt
taken from the ditch is deposited
alongside, so that properly construct
ed ditch only one foot wide on the bot
tom and four feet deep is likely to
waste a strip of land twenty-five to
thirty feet wide for its entire length
A mile of such ditch would consume
over three acres of tillable ground. II
the annual profit to be earned on such
land is only $3.50 per acre, this would
represent at 5 per cent a capital ac-
count of $3.50 that could be added to
the cost Of an open ditch to build tile
drain, and if the annual cost of clean
ing the open ditch be capitalized in a
similar manner sum possibly even
larger could be added to the cost Of
an open ditch to build a tile drain.
An open ditch that will even ap-
proximate the drainage effect of a
twelve inch tile cannot be properly
built for less than from $7OO to $1,000
mile, depending on the soil, the labor
market and the class of labor availa
BILE. while the cost of twelve inch
tile well laid may be as little as about
$1,4OO a mile, as is shown by the fol-
lowing cost of $500 feet of such tile
drain laid for Mr.. H. r. Mosnat of
Belle PLANE. The cost was 1896 rs.
AS there were 270 acres directly
benefited by this drain the cost was
about 1892 per acre. Half of this
land had never been under cultivation
and the other half only in dry years.
About seventy acres were in two ponds.
and various attempts had been made
to drain these by open bitches. but
without success.
The result has been gratifying. and
the owner was offered 40 per cent
increase on the cost Of the land and
tile as soon as it was demonstrated
that the ponds could be drained. This
particular line of tile averaged four
to four and half feet deep and open
