BEAVER AN EXPERT WORKER
Little Animal Exeels Lumber Jacks a.
Tree-Fellers and 10 q Prize
Dam Builder.

''The most expert lumber jack is in
ferior to the beaver as a 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 the trees are felled the con-
struction work begins. He works chief
ly by night, for he is 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. fat, hairless
and scaly tail Is propeller when
swimming and balance when he is
cutting timber, for he stands on his
hind legs while gnawing down trees.
'The beaver is strict vegetarian
and his diet consists chiefly of banks,
tender shoots and water plants. The
trees which furnishIthe bark he most
likes are the cottonwood, poplar, elm,
willow. birch, aspen and boxelder. The
bark Of the oak, ash and hickory he
does not eat.

to; and the management feels that
they fully justify the cost Of the i'm
provement. without considering the
value Of the land reclaimed.
The planning of drainage system
should be done with the same careful
ness that IL bestowed on other i'm
provements. When large building Is
to be constructed, an architect Is con-
suited. plans are carefully drawn, all
the details are looked into, and mate
rial Is selected which will be suitable
for the location, the climate and the
purpose for which the building should
be used. During its construction, in.
spectOrs see that the details are car
ried out and the requirements Of the
specifications enforced, regardless Of
the fact that the contractor may be
losing money and cheaper materials
might be used. but In drainage en-
terprises, the evidences Of such care
are too often painfully lacking, even
though the cost be as great or greater
than that Of a large building. In
many cases an engineer Is employed
to stake out drain on route which
has been selected only because 1t Is
supposed to be" the best one. No
examination Is made for another route
or outlet; the area of the watershed
Is not measured. AS result, the
size Of the ditch Is determined by II
mere guess. Time may develop the
fact that the best route was not Sc
lected. and that the ditch was too large
or too small. and consequently does
not perform the work satisfactorily. A
ditch, being improperly located, either
does not drain all the land 1t should
or 1t il expensive to construct and
maintain. One that Is too large will
not clean Itself properly; while one
that is too small will not carry re.

start drainage ditch from a slough
at practically the same depth us the
bottom of the slough. Such drain

ground-water will not be lowered. and
the bed of the slough will continue to
be swampy. For satisfactory drain

any locality the first consideration is
an outlet or channel by which the wa

localities nature has provided such an
outlet. In others, 1t may be necessary
for several landowners to band togeth-
err and construct q channel. of suf-
ficient size and depth to serve us the
main outlet Of a network Of bitches
which will give relief during wet
yenrs. In many parts Of the state.
WHERE SUCH OuuetS naturally exist or
are already completed, crops have suf-
fered from an excess of water in the
immediate vicinity, for the reason that
the water from the cultivated fields
could not readily escape. Consequent
ly. for complete drainage, 1t Is neces-
sary to have, on the individual farm,
a thorough system for collecting the
water as it falls and carrying 1t to the

Unless the ground is very fat, the
location Of proposed drains can be
