DRAINAGE AND ROADS. Prof. Ira A, Baker, of the University " of Illinois, Throws New Light ? on an 01ld Subject, Like other authorities on the subject of road building, Prof. Ira A. Baker, of the University of Illinois, emphasizes the importance of drainage in the building of roads. In his bulletin on the subject, recently published, he Bays: Drainage is the most important matter to be considered in the construction of earth roads. No road, whether earth or stone, can long remain good ~without drainage. Drainage alone will often change a bad earth road to a good oune, and the best road may be destroyed by the absence of proper drainagze. Water is the only agent that destroys earth roads. Water and dirt make mud, and mud makes bad going. The dirt is always in the road, and the water comes at unpropitious times, as rain or snow. The water

softens the earth, the horses’ feet and wagon wheels mix and knead it, and it soon becomes impassable mud; final1y the frost freezes it, and the second state of the road is worse than the first—for a time at least. Further, if the water is allowed to course down the middle of the road, it will wash away the earth and leave gullies in the surface that must be laboriously filled up by the traffic or the hand of man. No road, however well made otherwise, can endure if the water collects or remains on it. Prompt and thorough drainage is a vital essential in all road construction. A perfectly drained road will have three systems of drainage, each of which must receive special attention if the best results are to be obtained. “This is true whether the trackway be iron, broken stone, gravel or earth, and it is .emphatically true of earth. These three systems are, viz., underdrainage, side ditches and surface drainace, . Underdrainage.—Many, if not most, country highways could be considerably improved by thorough subdrainage. Most roads need underdrainage even though water does not stand in the side ditches.: Most people appear

to think that the sole object of tile drainage is to remove the surface water, but this is only a~ small part of the object of the underdrainage of roads. The most important object of underdrainage is to lower the water level in the soil. The action of the sun and the breeze will finally dry the surface of the road, but if the foundation is soft and spongy, the wheels wear ruts and horse’s feet make depressions between the ruts. The first shower fills these depressions with water, and the road is soon a mass of mud. A good road cannot be maintained without a good foundaticn, and an undrained £oil is a poor foundation. A dry subsooil can support almost any load. A friend of the writer, an intelligent man and a close observer, claims that even in a dry time the easiest digging on or around a farm is just under the surface of a road having no underdrainage. His theory is that except in the road vegetation is continually pumping the water up from the subsoil and giving it out into the aijr, g";il,e in the road the fompazt svrface pievents evaporation cf<4h2 water In the subsoil. Therefore the road needs underdrainage more than the field, A second object of underdrainage is to dry the ground quickly after a freeze. When the frost comes out of the ground in the spring, it thaws quite as much from the bottom as from the top. If the land is underdrained, the water when released by thawing from below will be immediately carried away. This is particularly important in road drainage, since the foundation of the road will then remain solid and the road itself will not be eut up like untiled roads. . A third, and sometimes a very important, object of subdrainage is toremove what may be called the underflow. In some places where the ground is comparatively dry when it freezes in the fall, it will be very wet in the epring when the frost comes out—surprisingly so considering the drymess before freezing. The explanation is that after the ground freezes, water ises slowly in the soil by hydrostatic revsire of the wates in Higher places; aad if it is not drawn off by under-

drainage it saturates the subsoil and rises as the frost goes out, so that ground which was ¢comparatively dry when it froze is practically saturated when it thaws. , b The underdrainage of a road not only removes the water, but prevents, or greatly reduces, the destructive effect of frost. Frost is destructive only where there is moisture. The upheaving action of frost is due to presence of water. Water expands on freezing and loosens the soii; when thawing takes place, the ground is left spongy and wet, and the roads “break up.” If the roads are kept dry they will not break up. Underdrainage helps to keep them dry. : It is the universal observation that roads in low places which are tiled dry out sooner than the untiled roads on the high land. The tiled roads never get so bad as those not tiled. There is no way in which road taxes can be spent to better advantage than in tiling the roads. - All roads, except those of pure sand, can be materially improved by tile drainage. This is the opinion of many farmers, in several communities, with whom the writer has conversed on this subject. In each ¢ommunity this is universally the opinion of the farmers who have had the best success in draining their own farms. The cost of tile drainage is not great, say, about 50 cents per rod or $l6O per mile; and the improvement is permanent with no expense or maintenance, and the benefit is immediate and certain. Farther, tile drainage is the very best preparation for a gravel or a stone road. Gravel or broken stone placed upon an undrained foundation is almost sure to sink gradually, whatever its thickness; whereas a thinner layer upon an underdrained roadbed will give much better service. ‘“Roads tiled without gravel are better than roads graveled without tile.” The road should be underdrained so as to keep the water level well below the road surface. In most localities this can be accomplished reasonably well by laying a line of farm tile 3 or 31, feet below the road surface along one side of the roadway. It is sometimes claimed that there should be a tile on each side of the road.

~ PLOWING THE ORCHARD. Disking in Spring Should Be Followed by Harrowing Through the Summer Months, The manner in which too many farmers plow their orchards, when they plow them at all, accounts in large measure. for partial fruit failures and unsatisfactory growth of trees. It were better not to plow up the orchard, particularly if the trees have not reached full bearing age, than recklessly go through it in the spring with a deep-set plow and tear out roots by wholesale. There wouldn’t be so much damage done if the plow were not run so close to the trees. In many instances the rows of trees are plowed the same as if they were rows of posts having no roots. : The effect of such unwise treatment of fruit trees is to check wood growth and encourage an abnormal production of fruit. Then the reaction comes, and the trees seem unwilling either to produce fruit or develop wood. Generally speaking, an orchard should be plowed not mofe than once in five years. And it should not be deep, nor should the earth be plowed up near the trees; they should occupy an unplowed strip 20 feet wide or more, depending upon their age and consequent root development. The orchard never should be permitted to become foul or infested with weeds. Wisking early in the spring should be followed by periodical harrowing through the summer months and until time for sowing a cover erop, such as rye or vetch.—National Rural.

UNRULY LIVE STOCK. If You Have an Animal That Cannot Be Controlled Dispose of It Without Delay. It is generally a fact that the owner of unruly stock is o careless farmer. An animal that has never tasted freedom is easily controlled. If the cattle, sheep and swine are kept in pens and behind fences that are never out of repair, the first break will never ‘be made and the precedent established. It would be hard to build a fence that will turn all stock. if they realized what an easy thing it would be to force their way through. The whole secret lies in keeping them filled with the idea that they cannot break the bonds set by him who is given to rule over and have dominion. If there is one individual en the premises that gets into bad habits, it becomes epidemie. The most tractable herd would be spoiled by association with one rogue.: An animal that will not be controlled must be of great vilue indeed if the farmer can afford to keep it. Better sacrifice much rather than to suffer the annoyance and expense of constantly building up fences, and bear the loss of trampled crops and broken shrubbery, trees, etc. If an animal will not be controlled dispose of it in some way before its evil habits are communicated to the rest of the herd. As with many evils; the proper rémedy is prevention. Keep up good fences and there will be but little troitble with unruly stock.—J. L. Irwin, in 1 Ohio Farmer. ' Good Gravel Roads ia lowa, In Scott county the license monefy received from the saloons is used to improve the roads. At first ashes were used on a rock foundation. As ashes became scarce gravel was shipped in and used instead, giving better satisfaction. Small rocks were laid on the large ones before putting on the gravel, making a roadbed about 16 inches deep. The large rocks were omitted after awhile, as they had to be laid by hand, while the gravel could be dumped. Finally, the little stones were also omitted, the roads now being made entirely of gravel, 10 to 16 inches deep. _ ; : Good Cows in Demand, - While certain sections are selling some of their milk cows and fattening others, because of a secarcity of hay, we do not notice any lack of demand fer good cows in our market report or any falling off in their price.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson in the International Series for June 9, 1901—Jesus Appears to Paul, ; [Prepared by H. C. Lenington.]} THE LESSON TEXT. S : " (Acts 22:6-16.) ) 8. And it came to pass, that, as I made ‘my journey, and was come nigh unto ‘Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me, 7. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? 8. And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 9. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of Him that spake to me. 10. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. : 2k 11. And when I could not see fg' the glory of that light, being led by thefhand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. : s 12. And one Ananias, a devout man ac-. cording to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, : 13. Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Sau}, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. 14. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know His will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. 15. For thou shalt be His witness unto all men of what thou has seen and heard. 16. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. 5 GOLDEN TEXT:—I was mnot disobedient unto the heavenly vision.= Act 26:19, NOTES AND COMMENTS. Tre complete story of Paul's conversion (Acts 9:1-20) should be read. It is upon the complete text we base the following analysis: Saul the Persecutor.......cceeeveces.. VS, 18 The Light from Heaven...............V5. 3 anul Coenverted: ... ... ... . 00000000 VS 429 Ananias’ Unpromising Mission.... Vs. 11-19 Saul the Christian Preacher.......... Vs. 20 Saul the Persecutor.—Perhaps the central thought of this lesson is the work of the living Christ in the conversion of souls. Not all have the same wonderful experiences, not all have seen the bright light or heard the voice from Heaven that Saul heard, yet the essential experience is the same. Like Saul we have all of us found ourselves on the wgong course, and to all of us has come the light showing us our mistake. The trouble is we have not all of us immediately forsaken what we have learned to be the wrong course and decided to do what we know to be right. It is the universality of the application of the principle as well as the striking phenomena of the particular case that makes the story what it is to the Christian world. Beyvond this it shows, besides the experience of a single soul, the eternal work of Christ in the regeneratioon of the lives of men. The Light from Heaven.—Jesus is not the Saviour of a few, but of many, of all if they will. To every man, at some time or other, He shows Himself as Saviour from sin and guide to eternal life. He throws Heavenly light on the course one is pursuing and reveals it as the right or the wrong way. Saul Converted.—lmmediately the light is seen, a voice speaks to the heart. At once we know it is the voice of the Lord, for it is significant that without hesitation Saul addressed the Heavenly guest as “Lord.” Itis a point also that the intense light blinded Saul. It is a common experiencé that the bursting of a great truth upon the mind makes one the slower to compreLend for a time other matters, however familiar they had been. Saul had to be led over the familia™~goad to Damascus. Ananias’ Unpromising Migsion.— Christ had spoken directly to fhe soul of Saul. But it is the Divine wiiy to accomplish results through humpn ageneies. Ananias was a disciplg at Damascus. Christ spoke to this man to go to Saul. Ananias had knewn Saul by reputation and knew of his zeal in persecuting the followers of Jesus at Jerusalern. He knew of the authority he had to imprison disciples here in Damascus. Naturally Ananias hesitated. But Saul was “‘a chosen vessel,” that is chosen for a special work. So Ananias went as commanded and Saul received his sight, and with his sight the gift of the Holy Spirit. Saul the Christian Preacher.—Note the contrast between verses 1 and 20. “And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest.” ‘“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that Heis the Son of God.” Saul was no longer a persecutor, but a preacher, no longer opposed to the disciples of Christ, but a humble and faithful £Jllower. 8

They appealed to the monarch, who, like Solomon, awarded: “Let the eldest go first.” Such a dispute was neve# known afterward. , Henry J. Byron, one of the wittiest of English playwrights of a score of years ago, remarked on one occasion: ‘A play is like a cigar. If it’s good, everybody wants a box. If it’s bad, all the puffing in the world won’t make it go.” ' A young man who had just entered the office of Jeremiah Mason, the great New Hampshire legal luminary, to study law, asked him where he should begin. Mason, pointing to the books on the library shelves, answered laconically: ‘“Anywhere.” John Lawrence ‘Toole, the most popular low comedian of his day, once gave a supper to 80 of his friends, and wrote a note to each of them privately beforehand, asking him whether he would be so good as to say grace, as no clergyman would be present. It is said that the faces of those 80 men as they rose in a body when Toole tapped on the table. as a signal for grace, was a sight which will never be forgotten.

Albertson, our leading blacksmith, has been a great sufferer from Rheumatism. He was so bad that he could not sleep for the great pain in his arms and shoulders. He had been afflicted for years, but lately he was so much worse, that he thought he would have to give up his shop altogether. Then a strange thing happened. A friend of his recommended a new medicine called Dodd’s Kidney Pills, said 'to be a cure for Rheumatism. He commenced to use them and at once began to recover. His pain has all left him, and he is a well man to-day, and entirely free from any symptom of Rheumatism. ¢ To say he is thankful, is putting it very mildly. He is delighted. Dodd’s Kidney Pills deserve great credit for having cured this very severe and almost hopeless case, From recent reports, there does not seem to be anything that they will not cure, as very bad cases of Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rheumatism, and Heart Trouble, have been cured by Dodd’s Kidney Pills, even after having been given up by the best doctors.

Herbert Jenner-Fust, of Gloucestershire, is the sole survivor of the two cricket teams engaged in the first interuniversity match between Cambridge and Oxford in 1827. He was captain of the Cambridge eleven. He is 95 years old. Lord Curzon’s salary as viceroy of India is £15,000. Next to him in point of salary come Lord Minto’s position, with £lO,OOO, as governor of Canada, and Lord Hopetoun’s in Australia, with the same amount. Sir J.

His wife is the daughter of a wealthy Guatemalan wheo refuses to give her any financial assistance because she refuses to return to the land of her birth. Senor Ezeta left Salvador because a price had been placed on his head. Adolph von Breuning, formerly secretary of the German legation in Washington, has been restored to the kaiser’s favor, which he lost two years ago on his marriage to the beautiful divorced wife of Gordon McKay, the Boston millionaire. The emperor hdd refused to consent to the marriage because Mrs. McKay was considerably older than her German lover and because his majesty thought so wealthy a man should unite with an undivorced native and resident of his own country. Influential friends have procured a reconciliation. 1

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA. Whilethe Farmer’s Grain Is Ripening and His Stock Growing Fat, He May Have Plenty of Shoeting. There is probably no country on the American Continent where the life of the farmer carries with it that assurance of comfort and success as does Western Canada. Nor is there to be found anywhere else such a pleasant combination. Game abounds everywhere and nowhere does it afford such perfect amusement. A noted sportsman writing of the favorite pastime-says: “There is one particular spot where I saw a man drop 70 mallards one morning, and bring them all to bag, too, for they dropped in open water or on flat prairie. At the right season of the year you can see'black lines and triangles cut sharply out against the sky all round yg}i, moving very swiftly, and you begin to wonder whether you have enough cartridges to hold out. You can hear the prairie-chicken erowing like barndoor fowls; and a little to the northeast is a bit of marshy ground, cattle poached, and dappled with gleaming pools, where the snipe are nearly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin column of blue smoke curling up in the distance shows you where a few wandering Indians have pitched their camp, but there is no other indication of civilization in sight. Still, the neighborhood is well-settled, and a short drive will bring you to a farmhouse where you can buy the finest butter and the freshest eggs for uncivilized prices. “A very short railway journey will bring you to a country full of deer and the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer tribe the world over; and down on the flat, boggy land by the lake shores the moose - will stand knee-deep in water on the summer evenings, ready to lie down when the flies get bothering. All day you breathe the wild free air of the prairie, and at night you are lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple and splash of the waves on the beach, broken now and then by the weird banshee-cry of ®trange water-fowl.” Particulars regarding settlement of the lands of Western Canada can be had from any agent of the Canadian Government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in your columns. - OLD READER.
