outlay. In soft ground tiles will some
times get out of line or sink into the
mud. At places the line of the drain
will sometimes come above the frost
line. At such places and at the outlet
freezing will cause the tile to crumble

adds greatly to their cost. A tile drain
is no more exempt from trouble with
roots, silt or vermin tbun is one made
of boards.
Wood Is more enduring when laid in
a drain than Is generally supposed.

LAYING A BOARD DRAIN.
een years ago. A well laid drain cf
rived chestnut or cypress will last al
most a lifetime. White oak and locust
are also very durable. In fact, almost
any kind of wood will last well in a
deep drain. There are no blows to dis
turb it, and it will preserve an opening
for the flow of water long after decay-
lias set in. In view of these considera
tions an Ohio Farmer contributor gives
the following instructions for laying
board drains:
A board six inches in width should
be nailed to one five inches in width
and laid along the bottom of the drain,
as at A in the cut. If the boards are
rived and there are narrow ones, the
narrow ones may- be nailed over two
others, as shown at B. The ditch need
not be over a spade’* width on the bot
tom. In depth it should average two to
three feet. The deeper the drain the
farther it will draw the water, but it Is
not advisable to go so deep where
there is a heavy clay subsoil. Drains
will do better service after two or
three years, as the ground gets more
porous.
In laying the boards have them fit
closely and cover any holes with thin
pieces of wood t?o the dirt cannot work
In. Be sure to etop up the outlet with
coarse wire screening to keep out rats,
rabbits, etc. Board drains need no
plank on the bottom of the ditch, nei
ther do they need any straw or hay on
top of the boxen. But it is important to
get the grade cf the bottom of the
ditch uniform, a fid it will pay to take
some pains with it. A drain should not
have a steep grade followed by one not
so steep. Coming to a section of lesser
fall, the flow in retarded and the silt
deposited, causing the drain to stop up.
Three inches to a hundred feet of
drain is about the least fall that is
practicable to g’>ve to board drains.
The farmer may find out what he has
got by using th? common spirit level,
ami then lie can finish the bottom of
the ditch with a device I have shown
at the bottom of the cut. Take a
straight edge twelve and a half feet
long and fix to ii (mother straight edge
movable at one vud. If the two edges
are made to be one-half of one inch
farther apart at one end than the other
and one end leveled by a spirit level,
the other edge will correspond to a fall
of four inches to a hundred feet. The
movable end can be so attached as to
be quickly adjusted to represent any
fall desired.
Watering: Hogs In “Winter.
The best hog watering device we
know of for winter use, says Iowa
Homestead, is composed of two bar
rels. Barrel A should be set In the line
of pipe coming from the supply of wa
ter. The float should be adjusted to a
point on a water level line, as seen in
the Illustration. Barrel B is let down

come near the top, but not flow over.
At C Is seen a lid composed of two inch
plank or heavy lumber built in such a
way as to make four drinking places,
the hog sticking Its snout through a
hole to get the water. This barrel
should be in a corner of the lot or near
a fence where it will be protected to
some extent from the coldest weather.
At D will be seen a valve which regu
lates the supply of water and keeps
barrel B so full, of water all the time.
E is the line of pipe leading from the
float barrel to as many watering places
as may be placed on the line. Barrel A
should be covered with litter to pre
vent freezing.
Covering: the Strawberries.
Don’t get in too big a hurry to cover
the strawberries for this winter, ad
vises the Iowa Homestead. Better
wait until the ground is frozen several
Inches and then put on the straw or
slough hay to prevent it thawing out
again until spring. It is the thawing
and freezing that hurt strawberry
vines.

and the hardpan is so very hard that
it is impossible to do good work witli
one team cr with any one plow. In
such fields it is necessary to follow one
plow with another in order to got
through this hardpan. This method of
plowing is commonly called “subsod-
ing” because the plow used for this
second furrow is not supposed to throw
any of the ground broken up on top,
but to leave it broken under the soil
broken by the first plow. For this rea-
son. and this alone such plowing is
called subsoiliug. This method of
breaking through the hardpan need not
be used if you can get a plow and a
team that can break it sufficiently deep
with the first furrow. As this can very
seldom be done, we usually advise the
use of two teams and call the process
•‘subsoiliug.”
This method of breaking the soil is
needed iu all fields which have a hard-
pan. Whether the soil be red or gray
makes no difference. The point at is
sue is to break the hardpan wherever
it exists, regardless of the color or
texture of the soil otherwise. We in
sist upon this because without it it is
impossible to do first class farming.
We also insist upon the point that this
work shall be done when the clay or
subsoil is dry and never when it is wet
enough to make Lard clods if exposed
to the sunshine. This condition of the
subsoil usually exists from August to
January.
lienee we urge that this deep plow
ing be done during the fall, rather than
in the spring, when the clay is apt to
be wet. It is the deep plowing, wheth
er done with one or .two plows, that
we insist upon. It is the thing itself
and not the name that we are concern
ed about.
natural—they would hardly, as reason
able beings, subject the birds to such
| inhuman treatment as is often resorted
to in the effort to stop their desire to
sit. A person who deliberately uses
harsh and cruel means or roughly han
dies such hens is not fit to have the
care cf anything and rightly should be
breaking stones for the state. Let's do

Artificial Bonks.
In times past when a valuable ben or
cock cf a first class breed happened to
lose one of the halves of its beak by ac
cident or in a fight it was either penned
up and fed artificially or killed. Now
the missing part of the beak, formed
of hardened celluloid, can be grafted
on, and the fowl lives and feeds as
comfortably as ever. From time to
time a new beak has to be mounted, ;
but it is a simple affair in the hands of
a good "animal improver.” A modern
way of improving turkeys, too. is to
split the wing and tail feathers, which
then gradually molt off, and a much
Suer crop takes their place.

Better Prices Probable—Wintering
on Straw and a Little Grain,
Apropos of successful experience in
feeding wheat straw, with the addition
of enough ground wheat to secure a
maintenance ration, D. H. Otis of the
Kansas station says:
This experiment indicates the possi
bilities in wintering cattle. When
wheat straw, doubtless the poorest
roughage on the farm, can maintain an
animal with a small outlay for ground
wheat, it ought to encourage a farmer
to hold his cattle. Straw is abundant,
especially in the western part of the
state. In rnfluy places it is being burn
ed in order to get rid of it. Where
straw can he had for the hauling and
wheat at GO cents per bushel the feed
cost of keeping a 1.G00 pound cow on a
maintenance ration need not exceed
$1.25 per month. Suppose the straw
costs $5 per ton, the feed cosy would be
only $2.50 per head per mouth, or $1.50
more than it usually costs in years
when feed is plentiful.
Most every farm produces rough feed
considerably bettor than wheat straw.
Prairie hay, corn fodder, Kaffir corn
fodder, sorghum fodder or hay can be
fed either alone or iu combination with
each other and the amount of grain re
quired for maintenance reduced. Where
red clover or alfalfa is available little
or no grain need be fed.
The present low prices of stoek cat
tle, with every prospect of high prices
in the spring, and the cheapness with
which the cattle can be wintered, as
shown by the above experiment, should
Induce farmers to hold their cattle even
though they could be sold at fair prices.
When the cattle have access to a
straw stack, they get considerable chaff
and more or less shriveled or waste
wheat blown over with the chaff. Un
der these conditions cattle would need
less of the ground wheat.
Fowls In the Orchard.
By allowing the fowls the run of the
orchard they will get the benefit of tlu>
shade afforded by the trees, while they
will be able to pick up more or less
food, and at the same (ime they ben
efit tlie trees and fruit by the insect
pests, bugs and worms which they de
stroy.
Useful Device For Tying: Cattle.
An Ohio Farmer writer comments
favorably on “the humane system of
holding the record making cattle in
their stalls at the Pan-American dairy.
It is doubtless used by some dairymen,
EASY AND SAFE CATTLE TIE.
but many who have not seen it would
gladly adopt it. The animals wear a
collar around the neck, and to each side
of this is fastened a chain three or four
feet long. The chain ends in a ring
through which is run a rod about three
feet long. There are two rods, one on
each side of the stall. They end iu a
bend of about two inches to each end,
which allows it to stand parallel with
and two inches or so from the side of
tlie stall. By this means the chains
that are fastened to the collar slide up
and down very easily as the cows
stand or lie, and they are almost as
easy as though they were not fastened
at all, and there is no danger of being
tangled.”
