apart and cleaning them after seeding
is refunded many times by the bene-
fits to single crop. (2) Areas now
under cultivation with fair surface
drainage, but with an undertakings
so poor that the soil is cold, sour, and
but fairly responsive are exceedingly
hard to cultivate and far less depend
able than those which are well
drained. Underdrains, which will
make cultivation easier and crops
more certain, will pay for themselves
in such soils upon the first crop re-
ceived. (3) Long, narrow, wet strips
and sloughs or swales too wet to cal
tivate produce but little and at best
very poor quality of hay or pasture.
Drainage of such strips may be &C
complished by offering an under
ground outlet for the excessive water
and the work will pay for itself in ap-
pearance and usefulness at least once
every two years. (4) The drainage OF
p0t-holes because of the excessive
depth that is required to secure an
outlet sometimes would seem to be
more expensive than would be war
ranted but ease of cultivation Of the
surrounding areas is accomplished by
their drainage and the soils of these
pot-hoIes is oftentimes most fertile
in character. 60 1t is a poor system
of farming which does not justify the
thorough drainage of large marshes.
The net profit of tame hay or corn on
these lands as compared with that
of marsh hay commonly pays for the
drainage in four years. Unfortunate
Iy. the drainage which has been att
tempted on many marshes has been
enough to kill the marsh grass but not
enough to permit of growth of cuF
tivated crops The results have DEM
onstrated not what good drainage
would do but what poor drainage
would not do. Make-believe drainage
systems never pay for themselves.
The farmer should study the condi1
tons causing poor drainage on MS
land and the remedy for the same.
After stalking out the system OF
drains according to his best judgment,
he should employ surveyor to test,
with an accurate instrument, the feas-
ibility of the doubtful drains, making
such changes therein as seem adv1s-
able. A farm drainage system may
be installed by laborers working un-
der the direction of the farmer or
by contractors who make business
of such work.

Statue to Gen. castleman.

Because of what Gen. John e. Cas-
tleman has done to develop the Amer
lean saddle horse, many residents OF
the Badger state will be pleased to
learn that a statue of this noted Con
federate warrior has been erected in
Louisville, KY, and win be unveiled
on October 4. Living in one of the
greatest saddle horse states In the
Union and by nature and training a
horseman, General Castleman has al
ways taken a deep interest in the de-
yelopment OF the breed for which
Kentucky is particularly known.

write poetry like that worth ST.

Would you pay 1 900 cold, hard
dollars to have such sweet and
elevating thoughts whispered in
to your ear every day?
You can have it if you desire.
All you need is the money. It
must be cash.
Miss Maud LePage, 333 S.
Winchester avenue, is the poet
ess. 1t is just as easy for her to
dash off such inspiring thoughts
as for a man with a willingness to
buy to make himself popular on
w. Madison street.
No publisher, however, will
spread her gems before a thirst

Miss LePage hasn't the $1,000.
But she has perfectly good and
unspotted soul which she is will
ing to barter for the cash. To
any one advancing the money she
agrees to give a mortgage on her
soul, payable in six months, with
interest at g per cent. If she is
unable to make the payments the
mortgage gets the soul.
In attempting to make the sale
Miss LePage has resorted to all
manner of spectacular stunts.
She went into the dining room |
of the Blackstone hotel, dressed
as a man, and distributed cards |

But she has received several let
/. tiers from people who have read of
her offer. None of them have
been accepted.
Miss LePage and her sister,
Ella, own a deicatessen store at
333 S. Winchester avenue. For
10 years the poetess stood behind
the counter and sliced nickel's
worth of bacon or dipped into
pickle brine for half a dozen
"dills."
All this time the poetic soul
was striving for an outlet. But
every time it began to soar some
uncouth person came in and de-
manded yeast cake. The soul
had no chance whatever in such
an environment.
If Miss LePage had not been
taken i'll last fall an unsuspecting
world would have passed her by,
ignorant of the poetry that under
lay a commonplace exterior.
While she lay in bed beautiful
thoughts fitted through her
brain. AS she grew better they
began to take shape. When, dur
ing her convalescence, she was
able to walk around her room
these moments of inspiration
would attack her suddenly.
Grabbing pencil and paper
she would throw herself on the
floor. Presto! Poetry trickled
from the pencil onto the paper at
easily as molasses out of a barrel
on hot day. (Miss LePage has
seen both miracles, and knows.)
