ment grounds that Germany has car.
ried into effect the greater part Of her
immediate plan Of conquest. and now
is negotiating a new intrigue of
peace" designed to end the war while
her aggressions are secure.
All the central empires, the Presi-
dent declared. have been cemented
into one great autocracy-ridden en-
pire, throwing broad belt Of Ger
man military power and political con-
troll across the very center Of Europe
and beyond the Mediterranean into the
heart OF Asia" This achieved, he said.
1t is easy to understand why Germany
is fostering a propaganda for an early
peace"
Peace, peace, peace, has been the
talk OF her foreign office for now q
year and more" said the President.
"A little of the talk has been public
but most of It has been private.
Through all sorts of channels it has
come to me and in all sorts of guises.

Germany is bleeding, see very clearly
to what point fate has brought them.

which up to this point they have ap-
parently gained. they will have justi-
fled themselves before the German
people; they will have gained by
force what they promised to gain
by It,"
The President recited again the
German aggressions, which drove the
United States to war. He declared tho
purposes for which American soldiers
now carry the Stars and Stripes to
Europe for the first time in history
are not new to American traditions be-
causesa realization of Germany's war
aims must eventually mean the undo

said:

BEAVER AN EXPERT WORKER
Little Animal Excels Lumber Jacks as
Tree-FelIers and 10 Prize
Dam Builder.

1.-THE most expert lumber jack Is in
ferior to the beaver as tree-feller. He
cuts down trees in the most scientific
way. He can fell tree so 1t will fall
toward the pond where he wishes to
construct his home, thus saving him
self unnecessary work.
"After tho trees are felled the con-
struction work begins. He works chief
ly by night, for he is a nocturnal Prov
Ter. The moon is his lantern, the
quiet of the night his inspiration! his
sharp teeth are his Ratchet and chisel,
and his little paws are his means of
conveyance, his spade, his hammer ami
his trowel. His hard, fiat, haifless
and scaly tail is q propeller when
swimming and balance when he Is
cutting timber, for he stands on his
hind legs while gnawing down trees.
1.-THE beaver is a strict vegetarian
and his diet consists chiefly Of barI1s,
tender shoots and water plants The
trees which furnish the bark he most
likes are the cottonwood, poplar, elm,
willow, birch, aspeE and boxelder The
bark Of the oak, ash and hickory ne
does not eat.

Tic may be justly held chargeable with
their share In the cost Of improve
mGnts, the facts do not justify the In
ference that the state should pay 1t
all. The correct idea in raising funds
for drainage works, Is that the acre
more directly benefited is the acre to
pay the expense.
Many landowners will oppose a
drainage improvement for the reason
that the ditch will, in part, be located
on their land. They will do this, even
In the face Of the fact that from one
fourth to three-fourths Of their land,
because it Is too wet, produces only
about half of what it should, in the
ordinary year. They actually prefer
to stand the yearly loss Of half crop
or more, rather than allow Cne-fftieth
to one-eightieth part of this wet land
TO be occupied by ditch which would
SO thoroughly drain the whole tract
that 1t could be cultivated up to the
banks Of the ditch.
The benefits accruing from drainage
ara well Illustrated in the improve
meht Of a small farm, of 1888 acres
recently purchased by the state of Min
nesota. Six hundred and fifteen dol
lars were spent in draining this farm
The land had been bought by the state

A FARM PRoFlTABLY TILED.
on this s0-acre field three systems OF
tile drainage were necessary. This
shows the advantage with which two
neiahbors can cooperate in putting
in a line of tile. An obstacle SO
trivial as line fence should not be
permitted to prevent economical
drainage. The owner of this land
says that tile pays for itself every
year and that 5000 expended on tile
has raised the value of the 80 acres
ST. 900.
face drains is not, therefore, lost, even
when it is intended to later introduce
an undertakings system.
The individual farmer with small
means should first select the area the
thing of which will drain the most
land at the least expense. In rolling
Icountry where stiiltreift ftiil cam 'Je
had for outlets near the surface, or
without expensive open bitches, small
tiles can be used around the sides of
drainage areas outletting on hillside
or at the edge Of slough. This
method often improves large tracts at
small cost, and as the improved lands
increase in productiveness, funds will
be supplied by which the tile lines
can be extended, connected, and the
expensive mains finally put in. This
method has been used In many Of the
best tiled countries. In some instances
1t has been twenty years from the 10y.
ing of the first laterals to the compile.
ton of the last main.
Immediately after construction, pro
vision should be made for annual
maintenance. A drainage improve
ment, properly carried out and main
tanned, will add its initial cost to the
value of the land and pay dividend
on the original investment.

furrow or stakes, it vial save much
time when IT is desired to begin lay
ing tiles.
Any drainage system Mould be
planned with reference both to the
work it is to perform and to its future
maintenance. Expense should not pc
spared in securing accurate data on
which to base the plan.
1t is we'll to maintain the shallow
open-ditch system, in use before the
tile are laid. These surface-drains as
sist in quickly clearing the land OF
water from heavy rains, in amounts
for which it would not be economical
to provide tile of sufficient size to 40
the work so quickly. In Minnesota,
spring floods are often carried off by
the surface drains before the frost is
out sufficiently to permit tile-drains
to work. Time spent in opening sur
