Drainage is a live subject with tho. aimers in t!ir northwest, and many would bo glad to do a great deal more Of it if tlioy were iu a financial condi- j tion to do so. While tile drains are consult ml the best, board draiu3 will give very jjood service for a number of years and will enable the farmer to TO MAKE WOODEN DliAINS Fia. I. raise better crops and thus provide himself with the means for buying tile later on. Board drains, especthl ly where the ground is so wet that they are kept constantly saturated with water, will last for years, farmers living in the districts where timber is cheap will find that such drains will answer the purpose very well without much expense. Such drains have been known to last twenty or twenty-five years, at which time they seemed to be in Just as good a state of preserva- tion as on the day they were put in. To make wooden drains it usually re quires two. men, one to hold the boards In place and the other to nail them together. This method of making board drains can be improved upon by the use of a standard. This con Blsts of an upright board three feet high, having notches cut into It six Inches apart, one inch wide and several Inches deep to hold the boards firmly. The boards are laid In the notches, when the top board can be quickly and Brnnlr linllrtl rtn Another method consists of two posts driven into the ground about three c TO HAKE WOODEN DEA1KS Ha. II. feet from the -fence, with notched boards nailed across from e:ich post to the fence. With such a rig as this troughs can be quickly and easily made by, one man alone. Farmer. The Berry Patch. Bqware of the' red rust iu the black cap or blackberry patch. When it ap pears at once dig out and burn the in fected plant. Remove the pld raspberry canes as soon as they have fruited; also remove weak, superfluous new ones. Burn all euch cuttings at once. Continue to cultivate and hoe the strawberry plants set last spring. When enough runners are secured in each row, cut o2t all others just as if they were weeds. Beware of exposing blackberries to the sun after they are picked. Sun light soon turns the black, shiny fruit to a rusty, dull, unpleasant looking red. Get the berries into packing shed or crate as soon as possible and then Into a cool cellar until shipping time. Going to set some strawberries in August or September? We prefer spring set beds, but If you must set In the fall use pot grown plants and be gin to prepare the ground now. Plow It early, so that it will have a chance to settle before planting time. Har row or rake it often to keep down weeds and conserve moisture. Then the bed will be in fine shape to receive the plants. Farm Journal. Two Fine Strawberries. One of the best of the newer straw berries is the Senator Dunlap, says an Ohio man in American Cultivator. It Is a very early kind and keeps in bear ing long enough to be classed also as a midseason variety. It Is as reliable and productive as the Haverland and has a good color and pleasant flavor. The Dunlap and a good late kind like the iiranville make a fine team for the trpTberry grower; An lpipprtanf III HE PILGRIMS, prudent men. Dutchess' Trousers appeal to proper men today.

The Most Profitable Horse. The most profitable horse to have on the farm is the good brood mare. She will raise a colt each year, and it will sell for a snug sum in the fall, re marks American Agriculturist. With a little extra care the mare will do as much work as any horse. This is the kind that the average farmer wants and is the kind he should get L'-Jl uia 1 1 ii iii .ii. hi. iii 1 1. t . ......... one 'good brood mare, on the farm; raise your own horses and some to sell. Dosing Fowls. Dosing fowls to keep them healthy v isone of the surest ways to make them sick. It induces the very dis eases and disorders the poultryman fears, suggests American Agriculturist. Good management obviates the prac tice of drugging. The most successful poultrymen do not fuss with or coddle their fowls. Her Contract. A wealthy widow was about to marry a widower whose sole pos session consisted of a family of small children. A friend of the prospective groom met one of the children, a little girl of six years, and said: "Where are you going, Jenny, all dressed up so fine ?" "I'm going to a wedding," she saiJ proudly. "Whose wedding?" was the next ouprv 1 , j; d h , rs- -NODle.s ,,r P tTt t.i And 0 13 Mrs- Noble gom8 to marry?" "Why," said she, in an astonished tone, "don't you know ? She's go- ing to marry- us." A Doomed Cheese. "General Thomas H. Euger," said a man who knew him well, "was, like many army officers, an authority on good cooking, but he detested rank, high cheeses. At a dinner he said that a very rank cheese was once left at his head- quarters to be called for, and after it had remained unclaimed two days he posted this notice " It the cheese sent here address ed to Private Jones is not called for in two days it will be shot.' " That Kind Hotel Manager Have the Bark ers found fault again today? Hotel Clerk Yes, sir. They complain as much as if they were getting their board free. Harper's Weekly. ry A well known California dairyman says that the first requisite in keeping cream sweet and in good condition is absolute cleanliness. Everything with which the cream comes in contact must be scrupulously clean. After separating the cream U should be cooled as quickly as possible. It should be frequently stirred while cool ing In order that the animal heat may pass off more readily. Never add warm cream to cool. After it is cooled the two may be. put together. Always keep it as cool as possible. When delivering, the cans should be well covered in order to protect them from sun and dirt. . If this plan is followed, the cream will be in such a condition that it can be manufactured Into a high grade of gilt edged butter. A Fine Guernsey.

Sudden Cgoling of Milk. No principle involved in dairying will bear repetition better than that con cerning the importance of cooling milk quickly after it is drawn. In the ordi nary summer atmosphere unless spe cial pains are taken to reduce the tenv perature ideal conditions are fur nished for the development of germ life. It matters not how cleanly one may he at milking time, it is absolutely J impossible to do the work without the introuuction of a certain class or un- desirable germs, and the high tempera-, ture mates conditions ideal for the Where there is a plentiful supply of , ice the problem is solved, but, our , one 01 mem uecomes a numan opinion is that less than half the farm- j brain, that is, a brain with the spe ers put in an ice supply, says a writer , cial mental endowments that are in Homestead. The next best thing, therefore, is to make the right use of water. With the ordinary shotgun can of about eight inch diameter one should have no difficulty in quickly lowering the temperature to 55 or GO degrees. This cannot always be done with one' naa uvea ior years alter ine uc water enly, it being generally advisa-. struction of one entire hemisphere, ble if it is at all possible to change the j without showing any mental defect, water after the first hour. It is true; But in each case it was the thought- that it involves a little labor, but as the principal errors pi the making of good butter are made right there one can well afford to take a little pains to insure this rapid cooling. When milk is suddenly cooled the growth of all forms of germ life is checked, so that later on, when the de velopment of the lactic germ is de sired, this development is not interfered with by undesirable germs. Succulent Foods For the Cow. Now is the time to plan for a, good supply of green or succulent food for the cows next winter. No doubt this can be more cheaply produced with the silo, but all" dairymen do not have silos, and they are not always practi cable on the small farm where only a few cows are kept. If yon do not grow corn for ensilage, try growing some roots this year. Mangel wurzel beets are unequaled and perhaps the best succulent food for winter. There is no food grown the cow likes better, and it is gen erally safe to leave this question to her as to what is good for her? The cow always keeps in better health when fed zreen food with grain. and it is absolutely necessary to maxi-1 mum milk production. I do not con- . 1 cafu n taaA o intih firs) in ' " , , j as must be fed for the largest pro- . duction without green feed. It costs something to grow mangels, but they are worth all they cost. Se lect a piece of rich, mellow land; use seed drill, hand and horse wheel culti vators, and the work is very much re duced. Turnips, small potatoes and apples are all good and should be util ized. I consider these succulent foods just as needful to my cows as to myself to keep them in good health. W. H. Jenkins ia Hoard's Dairyman. Testing Tells the Tale. You may be able to pick out the poorest cow by looking at her, but by using the tester and the scales you can be sure you are right, says a dairyman. This is not difficult and does not take much time. Nail a sheet of cardboard to the wall in a conven ient place in the stable. Rule it proper ly and have a place for each cow's name and the day of the month. Tie a pencil to a string and hang it near the sheet. Hang your scale, prefer ably a dial or spring balance, near this. It is but a few seconds' work to weigh the milk and take samples. Testing should be done once or twice each month. The sheet should be ruled for one month, at the end of which time the figures are footed up. At the end of the year you can tell the amount of mil each cow has yielded. When you know what a cow has done, you can easily tell whether she ia pay ing for th food she consumes. A-Chin'Dog ancTa Voie. Victoria, the capital of British Colombia, has a peculiar municipal franchise. Every person who pays a $2 dog tax is entitled to vote in elections' for mayor and aldermen. The system has led to abases. It has been discovered that six enter prising women voted on the strength of a single dog. . Worsa still, one ingenious woman, unable to get a real dog in time to qualify, took out a license for a china dog on her mantelpiece. Municipal franchise reform is now regarded as a question of urgency in Victoria, and the unkind association of dogs with ' majors and aldermen is doomed. .. THE BOUQUET SHE GOT. ; Not so long ago there was a large dance at Fort Sam Houston, a most elaborate affair, splendidly .arranged and thoroughly appreciated by all fortunate enough to be among the guests. Among them at the affair was a very clever young woman, who is at all times appreciative of a good story, even should she be " concerned therein. She is much liked by a number of the younger officers at the post and was escorted to the ball by one bf them. This special officer, bent upon do ing things in the proper manner, "sent one of the-Filipinos to a flor ist shop to procure flowers for the young woman. The Filipino thor oughly distinguished himself, mak ing a large purchase at a cost of $4 or $5. . .-' He was also to deliver the pur- chase. Like a good "goo-goo" he : followed directions and staggered 'into the young lady's home under the burden of a large tub and a six foot rubber plant Jherein. .Meeting trie young lady, tne brown skinned youngster delivered this message, "The captain, he says, wear this flower to ball tonight.3 San Antonio Express.
