BOARD DRAINS.
K a Substitute For Tile They Will
Last Many Years.
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

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,

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

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

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

"Why," said she, in an astonished
tone, "don't you know ? She's go-

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.' "

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

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,
