Drainage and
Drainage Laws.

To the People of Weakley Counyt,
There are but few who deny
that drainage of bottom lands is
a good thing if same can be had
at the proper reasonable cost
Then the paramount question that
concerns drainage is the matter Of
cost as compared with the benefit
to be derived from it.
Drainage laws are general laws
OF the state. do not think it can
be insistedssw with consistency that
Weakley county should be exempt,
ed from their operation any more
than it may be insisted that the
county should be excluded from
the operation oiother general laws.
If the drainage laws are not salts
factory, | think amendment is the
proper course for remedy, | think
that thegdrainage laws ought to be
amended in several respects, towit:
Establishment of districts only
upon petition or written consent of
majority OF land owners to be taxed.
Elimination OF costs.
3-That trial by jury be unques-
tionably written in the law.
4-That board Of, directors be made
the real power in fixing assess
ments.
5-To repeal that feature of law by
which the quarterly county court
has power to appropriate general
county funds to pay costs ofdrain-
age districts.
6-That the act as to formation OF
districts from parts Of more than
one county be amended so as to re.
quire petition signed by majority
Of persons owning lands in such
districts in each county; that copy
of petition be filed in each county;
and that defense may be made in
the county where land lies.
Majority rule and trial by
jury" are two principles well es-
tablished in matters Of American
government. But it seems that it
did not occur to my opponent, Mr..
T. K. Reynolds, when be came to
vote as a member Of last legisla-
ture. on drainage bills, to have
either principle unquestionably
written in the law. Nor did he
think to assert any effort to have
the costs limited. II be did, he

If you fail in this the gas may blow

into the house leave the front open as
much as possible, raise all the frames
that are covered with cotton cloth,

them from the bottom so the air can

1t is very cold. wet or stormy. If the
pullets are treated in this way from the
beginning they will never suffer from
the cold during the winter months.

EFFICIENT HOMEMADE
DAIRY STERIL|zER
Prepared by United States department of
agriculture

Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
Even the most careful washing can
not be depended upon to remove from
utensils germs which affect injuriously
the keeping qualities Of milk and
cream. The only safe way is to de-
stroy the bacteria by sterilization
This is accomplished most effectively
by turning into the utensils live steam
at temperature of at least 2O5 de-
grees It. To enable the farmer to
make use of steam sterilization In his
dairy operations the dairy division Of
the United States department of agrl-
culture recently has designed a sim
pie and efficient homemade sterlllzer
which can be built at cost not to eX-
coed S. to $40. The device is described
In farmers bulletin 74S, which can be
obtained free of charge on application
to the United States department Of az
riculture so long as the departments
supply lasts.
When placed on stove or oil heater
the apparatus in question develops
steam In shallow pan and introduces
the live steam through pipe into milk
cans and buckets. In sterilizing sepa-
rate parts, small articles and straincr
cloths, a galvanized iron box is placed
over the steam outlet and used as a
sterilizing chamber
How to Construct the SterIizer.
The sterllizer for cans and milk pals
consists of a. roasting pan, (2) a spe-
cially prepared insulated cover for it
and g. a steam outlet pipe that runs
through the cover An ordinary roast
ing pan Of standard size-about twenty
inches long, fourteen inches wide, top
measurement, and three inches deep
will be satisfactory
The insulated cover for the pan is in
three layers, the lowest of which is
sheet of galvanized iron covering the
roasting pan and tapping a little over
the edges. On the bottom of the cover
solder tlanges to meet and fit the inside
edges Of the pan and make tight
cover.
For the steam pipe cut a hole one
and one-half inches in diameter and
around it solder securely a steam out
let pipe four and one-half inches high
and one and one-half inches in diane
ter.
To make the second layer of the
cover use a piece of asbestos board
fve-siXteenths Of an inch thick and
slightly smaller than the metal sheet.
In the center cut hole which will fit
tightly around the steam outlet pipe.
For the top layer Of the cover make
a shallow pan Of galvanized iron four
teen inches square with sides five
eighths Of an inch high and cut a hole
for the steam pipe. When the pan is
pressed down tight on the asbestos
solder 1t firmly to the steam outlet pipe.
Source of Heat.
On the pan solder on edge four strips
Of stiff galvanized iron three-eighths of
an inch wide, They should start an
inch from each corner and should run

SELECTING LAYERS.
High Producing Hens Are Usually Late
In Noting.

In Noting.
1t is not only possible but desirable
to pick out the high producing hens in
the flock by means Of external charac-
teristics, according to w. A. Lippin-
colt, professor of poultry husbandry
in the Kansas Agricultural college.
Hens that mott late are high pro
ducers because they have longer pc
Rod In which to lay. Late melting is
the accompaniment of late laying, but
the mere fact of late melting does not
make high producers. The hens that
mott late begin laying as early as the
early molters, because they mott much
more rapidly and lose less time.
In the yellow skinned breeds the
paleness Of shank is very reliable in
dication in the fall at the end of the
first year. The high producers lay the
color out Of their shanks, and so any
bird with yellow shanks after year
Of laying has been poor producer for
that year.
Those birds with soft and pliable
combs about Oct. ] are in general bet
ter producers than those with hard
and dried up combs. Asa bird molts
the comb tends to shrink and become
hard. but birds in good condition and
laying have pliable combs.
With the White Leghorn pullets
which have yellow pigment in the ear
lobe at the start Of the season a white
ear lobe will be an indication of high
production. These birds with yellow
pigment in the ear lobe will lay out
this color until the iobes are white

tos for the middle layer Of the cover.
Pack papers tightly to a height of
three-eighths of an inch over the gal
vanized iron bottom and on top place
another galvanized iron sheet of the
same size. Solder these two sheets all
around the edges, so as to make a
tight seam. This makes an insulated
cover and pad about three-eighths of
an inch thick, which will be found as
satisfactory and even preferable to the
asbestos insulation.
The sterilizer may be used on the
kitchen stove or other stove or over
any other heat that is sufficient to fur
nlsh steam at the end of the outlet
pipe at least POS degrees f., or prefer
ably 210 to 211 degrees F. A thermom-
eter, If placed in the outlet pipe, will
show whether the steam is hot enough
Operating the Steriizer.
Place the outfit, with one inch Of
water in the pan, on the stove and see
that the cover fits tightly. The first
steam that comes from the apparatus
will have a temperature of about 40
degrees F. Wait until a thermometer
placed in the outlet pipe shows at least
205 degrees F. Then place the milk
can-previously washed and rinsed-
inverted over the steam outlet and
resting on the ridges. SteriliZe for five
minutes remove, shake out any water
and place the can upright on the floor.
The can should be absolutely dry In
one or two minutes. If not 1t is an In
dication either that the steam was not
hot enough or that the can was not
washed clean. Remember that the
stealning does not remove dirt, so that
previous washing is essential.
In winter or in cold rooms an in
sulating cover for the milk can is de-
sirable, since otherwise the can may
be cooled so quickly that 1t will not
dry thoroughly An insulated cover
that VIII serve this purpose can be
made from a blanket.
Sterilize the milk receiving tank and
separator parts and all milk pals in
the same way and for the same time.
Sterilzing Parts.
Before strainer cloths, separator
parts, can covers and small utensils
can be sterilized it is necessary to pro-
vide a bottomless galvanized iron box
10 by 10 by II inches high, to be used
as sterilizing chamber. The four
sides of the box should fit tightly into
