ARTICLE XIV,

Drainage Outiet.-The outlet must
be low enough so that the pipes lead
ing to it will have sufficient fall to
cause the water to flow quickly
through the pipes and empty the land
of the surplus water promptly after
heavy rainfall. The outlet of the
main drain is generally into a stream
or pond.
The conditions may be such that one
straight line of drain tile will make
the land dry. In such case, place the
trench where the water will naturally
flow away most readily over the sur
face.
II more drains are needed they may
be placed SO as to flow into the one
main drain, if the land slopes so as
to permit it.
! Parallel Drains-If the land has one
general slope parallel drains may be
planned to empty into a main drain
at the foot of the slope. In other
words, the lines of the drains follow
| the grade of the land. They are
placed twenty to fifty feet apart &C
cording to the nature of the soil. The
depth at which the tiles are laid
should be sufficient to escape the
! frost and catch the water. Two and
one-half to four feet will usually an
swer.
Opening the Trenches-After the
system is mapped on paper, stakes are
driven in the land showing where the
! trenches are to be dug and their width
! and depth or grade. In rocky OF
stony land the pick axe and shovel
are used to open the bitches. Where
the soil is easily excavated special
draining spades and scoops are sui
ficient for the work. The bottom Of
the trench is very carefully graded
for receiving the tiles.
Laying the Tiles-The tiles mos
commonly used for ordinary under
drains have a bore Of four inches. The
sections are carefully laid end to enc
so that the passages for the water 4
continuous and even.
The soil as it is filled over the lin
OF tile should be firmly tanped AM
tn surface over the trench should b.
rounded up to allow for settling. TIL
outlet should be protected by wiz
netting against the entrance of rats
moles and other animals.
Effects Of Drains.-The effect of VI
derdrains is decided and beneficial
from the start and increases as tn
years go by. The surplus water find
its way through the soil to the pipe
underground and the water is pre-
vented from rising. even in the We

GETTING OUT OF THE WOODS
If You Get Lost Don't Lose Your Head,

trying to decide where the camp should
lie. Then, if you have your compass
and it seems to agree with your judg-

decision it is better to keep on in one
direction, because you may fab in with
some stream and can follow it to q

1t should be evident from this brief
consideration of the subject that when
ever possible the poultryman should
choose a location having adequate nat

not practicable we have a possible

SLEEPING CARS I'M AFRICA.
They Are Not Too Clean and the Con-
ductor Makes the Beds.


ductor Makes the Beds.
Describing railroad travel in South
Africa, Z. W. Howe in his Monthly
says:
Soon after the train conductor LOOK
ed at our tickets he proceeded to lug
two huge bags of bed clothing into our
compartment and make up two beds.
We paid S1.20 for the use of the bed
clothing two nights; the charge would
have been the same for one night. So
that we will have a large compart-
ment to ourselves two nights and a
day and pay only $1.2O above the reg
ular fare. The beds were comfortable,
though somewhat narrow, but we slept
as well, / imagine, as people usually
do on sleeping car. On our door and
on our window were placards annOunc-
ing that the compartment was reserv-
ed, and we were not disturbed during
the journey. When this reservation
placard is not displayed any one has
right TO a seat or bed IN a compart-
uent that is not full.
The South African sleeping cars are
not at all bad. except that the train
conductor has so much TO do that be
cannot keep them as clean as they
should be. The conductor did not pol
ish my shoes at night, but | knew be
was very busy and overlooked lis
neglect.
Il wish the naughty conductors OF
American passenger trains could see
our conductor with his coat off, max.
ing up beds. l wish they could also
see our tickets. which cover nearly
5000 miles of travel and read from
Durham to Victoria Falls and back tC
Beira. ! am unable to understand
them. but the conductors have Eo diff
ficulty.
ION one or two trains we have beer
on there was Il man who helped the
conductor, but on at least two crowded
trains on which we Travelled the con
ductOr has had no help whatever in
making up the beds; the most curious
thing / have ever noted in railroad
travel. There is a guard on the train
who is what we call brakeman. bu
he does not assist the conductor in thu
chamber work. When these conduct
ors are taking the tickets they are a.
