WILLUNDERDRAINING PAY ? / ; [From the Northern Indianian.) Last spring T laid about 150 rods of under draining in my intended corn field, and now I ¢an give the result.— The field containéd 18 acres, and prbducéd 800 bushels—4s bushels. per acre, and in parts there must have been 75 bushels to the acre, as the worms partially destroyed a number of acres. - The ditches run through the “field in all directions, and I have, therefore, no way of knowing the exact amount grown that was reclaimed by ditching; but it could not have been less than 200 bushels, and I am confident that it produced’riper and better corn. The cost of construction was about %50, eqnal to two hundred per dnt. - My drains were somewhat expensive, from-the faet that a considerable “stream of water was taken through the ficld, under ground. It took a large opening to let all the water through, and then it was sometimes over charged, and enough water run © over the top to run a saw mill, This fasted, however, only a day or two at a time, and as soon as the water was «contained jn the ditches the ground became dry in that vieinity much quicker than at some distance away, where the ground was still higher.— The soil in these low places is very loose~a deposite of vegetation—and “is rieh in organie matters it lets the water through easy, and hecomes instantly dry us»s_oan, as the water has abated, 1t also @'vtgiﬂ‘ls moisture longer than any other ssil. In one day afterQa rain the ground will be dusty around these ditches, while it takes two or three daysto get dry enough to plow at other places remote from the effect of the drain, St The way I make my drains s, after the diteh is made I lay a rail or pole in one edge of it, and take short punchvons and lay one end on the rail and -the other end on the ground on the opposite side. Thus, it forms g throat along the pole to convey an increditable amount of water. When too mueh - water-is required to pass through, ~then I lay a pole on eaeh side, placing theyu far enough apart to convey all the water,. The puncheons are sawed the required length, twelye to sixteen inclies long, then split one and Onehalf” to two inehes thick, andmay e made out of any kind of round timbér. They must be laid erossways, close together, or lapped over, then tl}e diteh rs filled up and the work is done. The timber should be laid not less than thirty inches under ground, and three. or four feet would still be better, - L'here is no kind pf work that pays better than under draining, and why is there so much land remaining in its original styte, when it can produce nothing gmt malaria and consequent disease, éspecially avround our county ~ zeat, where money properly invested woukl bring dpe, two, three or four, hundred per cent: the first yéar? Persons frequently stand in theivr own ‘, light, and_when they are told of the )‘ propriety of ditehing and the value of < invested money in such an enterprise, they will say: “That is just what is lacking—the money.” Well, probably you want to buy an organ for your wife of daughter. Now 1 ean {ell you how you can pay for one, and have your ditching done for nothing., Get o your wife to wait one year Jonger, and if: she can’t wait buy her a spinningwheel, and she can learn to play on © that; then take the money. that you intended to buy the orgar with and lay ~it out under draining, and rent the land out for corn for thealf, which il well done, will brivig you more than -the draining cost, then take the meney and buy your wife or daughter an oroan.

EXCELLENT MINCE-MIEAT, ' Chop finely two pounds of beef suet: boil gently, but not to» much, two pounds of the urider side of rump of beef, and chop it finely; and ehop also one dozen o two pounds of russet apples: stone and chop one pound of Valentia . raisins, and wash and dry three pounds of currants; mince the thin peel of two lemons, four ownces of ~candied orange-peel, the same of candied Jemon-peel, and two ounces of -citroin;- mix the suet, beef, apples, raising and currants: then add the peels, with a quarter of a pound of powdered loaf-sugar, a. teaspoon-full of salt, a-quarter of an ounce of pounded mace, a quarter-of an ounce of pounded cloves, and half a nutmeg grated. When all these have heen well mixed, squeeze in the juice of two lemons, and add half a pint of -brandy, after which mix into a mass. The art of making this mince-meat is to piek, chop and mix the articles carefully. The currants should be quite dry-—to secire whieh, wash them and dry them before the fire a day before mixing. The above will make abeut eleven pounds of minee-meat, or a uriddle-gized tureen full. It should -be closely covered and Kept in a cool place, and should be made at least a month before it is used. : e o ; ¥ ( VENTILATION. - . At this seaspn of the year we fre‘quently hear donsiderable ¢omplaint among those attending chureches, of headache, dizziness, langour, &e. Thése nnp](fuﬁmt ‘sepsations are caused by a wantof pure aif. Chis life-giving clement should eontaiu about twentyone per cent. of oxygen about seven-ty-niné . per cent. of nitrogen. Now, atcevery breath we draw, the air loses about one-seventh of its oxygen, while the watery vapor and carbonific acid are inereased about four per cent. I'he quantity of nitrogen remains - wearly the same in the expired as in the inexpired air. Now, we find that pergons crowded in a heated room, whére there is no ventilation, are constantly consuming the oxygen and throwing off the carbonie acid, until want of one, and the poisining effects of the other, break down his tunie and action ~of the system, which eauses great distress, andmakes the sermon or lecture long and tedious, which, by proper ventilation, might be made highly interesting and amusing. Let every one who feels an interest in good health, see that their rooms are propexly ventilated.

December 81st, 1873, - - KANSAS SCHOOL-HOUSE. ~ Eprtor- BANNER:—I would like through the columns of your valuable paper to tell its patrons rh'ow some unknown person apprised the teacher of Kansas school of the conduct of his scholars upon their way home from school. He pays out one cent in cool cash for a postal card, upon which he writes: “Sueh- rowdyism as was indulged in by your scholars last Tuesday evening, on the south road, is a disgrace to any community.” = The card svas delivered to us this (Friday)y evening by one of our scholars. The occurrence had not created excitement enough to make the least.disturbance. Nobody heard of it, nobody knew any: thing of it, until we received the.card. The writer, whom we will call Sneak, had the audacity, the lack of manly principle enough to drop it in the Wawaka post-ofiice, signing if, “S. Y."—

For th{\\'riter’s benefit, I%ant to say: Whenever our discipline does not meet vour approbation or wlienever the actions of my scholars become 80 annoying that forbearance ceases to be a virtue with you, come like a person should and tell me, and not sneak to Wawaka and drop a postal card — which no doult cost yon the one cent above mentioned. Had you, “S. Y.,” e{)mr‘ to me personally, and told me that you had been so terribly disgraced, 1 certainly should have felt very sorry, and would have used the clinst,vning'l‘«’»(l severely., TFor 1 presume lam a lover of peace and of good breeding as well as vourself, let vou be whom vou mav. :

. He further says that, “they (the scholars) are trying to keep it smuggled from you for fear of an hereafter.,” Wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove! isn’tit? Ile further says that “teachers generally correct the small ones, while the larger ones do about as they please.” Ido not want Sneak to think I take this home to myself, for I defy the writer or any one else to pick out five of fifty scholars who will say that I am partial between the large and small ones. And now, Mr. Editot, for the dis~ grace thatthundered down upon Sneak: like huge rocks. He says two.of the larger boys had a fight upon their way home from school on that long-to-be-remembered evening. Terrible! wasn’t it? Aeccording to the usual custom, we had to have a court scene and had to act for both judge and jury. Before dismissing school on Friday evening the trial for assault and battery came off. The two reported (by Sneak) combatants were the first witnesses on the stand. g “Did you fight one another upon vour road from school last Tuesday night ?” ) = ' No, sir.” i ; A half dozen other witnesses were examined. . : “Did you hear any profane language used on returning home last Tuesday evening ?” ; : *“No, sir’” ! - “Did you hear any quarreling ?” “No, sir.” . - “Do you think the combatants were angry ?” - FINOGBIT. “How much time was taken up in disgracing Sneak on this memorable evening ?” . One witness testifies, “two minutes,” another, “three minutes.” We are surprised to know there is one in our community whois so easily disgraced. We will wager a'dime’s worth of smoking tobacco that another cannot be found in Nobte county.— Come out, Sneak, if you want to bet. SEQUEL.—We,the unilersi gned,qch.olars of Kansas School, do hereby certify that there was no fighting engaged in as was represented by Sineak; that the whole matter was*a sham, ‘and that all laughed and talked, together immediately afterward, as they had done before, 5 I .
