GRADING TILE DRAINS.
All tho Outtll N<mmIc<! Ih a Wuter Level, nn
Ax iiihI Some Slakes.
A writer who has tlono ;v great deal of
ditching for P3 years describes his plan
f(jr obtaining tlio grndo of tho bottom of
a tile ditch in the absence of it skilled
ditcher. Ho makes hie report aa follows
lu tho Ohio .dinner:
I take my ax and n stake and go to
where 1 want, the outlet of my ditch. I
drive'tho stake as near tho center of pro?
posed ditch its may be. I then take the
level, go to upper end of ditch and place
the level a foot or more above the ground
to clear nil obstructions from a perfect
view of stake at lower end of ditch,
then drive a stake down even with top
of level. Now I have the grade stake at
upper end of ditch fixed. I then sight
over my level to stake at lower end of
ditch and have a bov there to mark
FtXDIXO A tlRADE IN TILE DITCHES,
where the level line strikes the stake.
Now I can readily see tho amount of
fall obtainable in my proposed ditch. I
next drive another stake down so t lie top
will be as much lower than the level
mark on first stake as I have fall in
whole letlgthof ditch, provided it is to be
pill on tin1 one grade the whole length.
The two end stakes thus set tlx the grade
of ditch.
After this ia done I drive three or four
stakes, according to length of ditch, driv?
ing them down to a perfect grade ou i"p
with the two end stakes. Now I have
a perfect grade line on top of stakes,
which represents the grade in bottom "1
ditch, and to transfer it to the bottom I
make a grade stick?say I feet long, more
or less, as may be required, according to
depth of ditch or height of grade stakes
above the ground, und with this stick 1
dig down until the top of grade stick,
when set plumb in bottom <.f ditch,
conies on a perfect lino with topof grade
.-ta!<< s. The grade stakes must be all .-et
on a perfect line, as near on a line with
the center of the proposed ditch as may
be, and hence will have to lie removed
as you come to them in digging the
ditch Before disturbing the last stake
but one. set another stak;' beyond the
first in order that you may maintain
your grade to tho end. By using your
grade stick often the grade of your ditch
need not vary a quarter of an inch in 20
rods.
I usually lay and blind my tile about
as fast as I dig the ditch. At least when
I quit at night I have my tile placed and
blinded to within a rod of the'end of finish?
ed ditch. I leave some six or eight tile that
I do not blind. This gives all the Wittel
that may gather in the ditch a chance to
get into the tile, and by placing a thin
flat stone between the ends of the second
and third tile, so no dirt can run into the
tile below, your ditch remains perfectly
secure until finished, By laying the tile
as fast as the ditch is dug yon maintain
a much better grade than can possibly
be had after t lie ditch is allowed to Iny
until the water cuts out the bottom ?r
caves in the Bides ami with much less la?
bor.
New Horticultural Limn lleaiiH.
Among the novelties of last year none
perhaps enlisted more interest than this
supposed cross between the lima and
old horticultural pole beau. The cross,

THE NKW HOUTICL'LTLHAL LIMA BEAN,
it is claimed was made by insects. Here
is what a correspondent, who has grown
Ulis bean four seasons under many con?
ditions of soil, climate and culture, says
about it in a communication to Rural
New Yorker:
Its foliago and habit of growth nre
more of the type of the Horticultural
Pole than the Lima, while the structuro
and shape of the pod and bean belong to
tho latter. It roots strongly, and its
rapidity of growth under favorable con?
ditions is something remarkable. It be?
gins to blossom early and sets its crop
close to the ground. I do not consider
it so strong a runner as either of its
parents and use poles six to eight feet
high in my field culture. While not so
productive as some of the large varieties
of Limas it is still a good yielder, and 1
have grown 30 bushels of hand picked
beans to the acre.
The quality is excellent green, shelled
or dry. Tin- color is dark only when
cooked in the dry state. Tho pod is
tough and leathery and protects the in?
closed bean from injury when they come
in contact with the soil. It is not an
easy bean to shell in tho green state, hut
will compare well with other Limas in
that respoct. I find it, at tho proper
stage of growth, an oxcellent snap short
bean. As tested last season, it is two
weeks earlier than the Horticultural
Pole.

Vliltio of Systematic Methode In Itnirlnc
Chickens?A Finn For Houses ami Yards.
It is a beautiful theory that brings
chickens tip on the "free range" plan,
but it is a plan that entails no liitlo an?
guish of soul and body, and that results
in the loss of no small uuinber of chick?
ens. The placiug of individual broods
in boxes and barrels hero, there and ev?
erywhere about the premises may an
bwer when tho chicks are little, but as
they outgrow their small quarters and
an attempt is made to transfer them to
now quarters then the trouble begins,
and it chicken's obstinate nature is made
painfully apparent, for the broods will
persist in haunting tho region of the old
coop and will camp down for the night
on its exact location, if it has been re?
moved, or they will seek new quarters
under buildingB or in other out of the
way places, where it is almost impossi?
ble to get tit them and where they fre?
quently fall a prey to cats, skunks or
other animals. Moreover, running thus
together, big and little, tho feeding time
exhibits a constant contention and mas?
tery of the stronger over tho weaker,
which results in impaired growth.
Tho better plan, as explained by a cor?
respondent of Country Greutlomun, ia to
raise no more chickens than can bo ac?
commodated in yards of ample size?a
yard for each brood of 18 or 20 chicks?
and let each brood have a houso to itself
of a size to itccommodate tho chicks un?
til they are well grown and ready to be
Bold or transferred to the regular poultry
house. Thus one always knows whore
his chickens are and that the work need?
ed to euro for them bus been reduced to
a minimum. The illustration, repro?
duced from the authority quoted, shows
a plan for stu b chicken yards aud houses.
Tlu? view given shows the backs of the
houses.
The yards are side by side and the
houses in u row of any length desired.

UNIFORM I IOCS ICS AND YARDS.
These bouses are arranged to afford tho
greatest convenience. They are some
2* feet square and about :$ feet in height,
with a single roof, all the boards being
tongued and grooved. The entire back
is a door, which gives convenient nccess
to the interior, and within this i.; a slat
door for use when the weather is wann.
Such coops can be thoroughly and readi?
ly cleaned out with a shovel and dry
loatn thrown in, a person with a shovel
and wheelbarrow being able to go the
rounds of a large number of coops in a
very few moments. Shade, either nat?
ural or artificial, should be provided for
these chicken yards. It is often feasible
to locate them in an orchard, with bene?
fit both to the chickens and to the trees.
In any event do not make tho mistake
of having the yards too small. Make
them us large as possible.
OriinireH In Louisiana.
In n special bulletin from the Louisi?
ana station on tho culture of citrus fruits
in Louisiana views and cultural meth?
ods of orange glowers in Louisiana and
Floiida are given at length.
As a stock the sweet, Bour and bitter
BWCCt types :nay be used, also the rough
lemon or wild lemon of Florida, the
grape fruit, < litrns trifoliatn, and others.
Citrus trifoliatn is especially recom?
mended as a hardy dwarf and as a suit?
able stock for the Satsuma, the hardiest
variety of orange.
From the answers received to a cir?
cular sent to orange growers in Florida
and Louisiana it appeals that soils of
several types are suited to tho orange,
and that thorough preparation aud
drainagoof tho land are necessary. The
majority advocated shallow planting
sour stock budded in spring and culti?
vation when tho orchard is not sown to
some green crop. (1 rowers budded at
all distances from two to twelve inches
abovo the ground. It appeared that
very few growers had practical experi?
ence as to tho advantages of wind
breaks.
The station has begun experiments in
tho caro of orange ?orchards, planting
hoed crops, cow peas, alfalfa and crim?
son clover between the rows of trees and
using these crops as hay, plowing them
under or permitting them to rot on tho
surface. Up to date the trees i-iiow no
difference fioin the several methods of
cultivation, but tho most profitable
treatment has been that with alfalfa,
since this plant has furnished a largo
amount of hay.
Insect leid? For Cotton Worms.
Tho Southern Cultivator says:
"Royall's patent iB perhaps the mixture
most commonly used as an insecticide
for cotton worms, with tho exception of
a mixture of paris green and Hour in
tho proportion of 80 of flour and 1 of
paris greon. The formula of tho Roynll
mixture, is 170 pounds of flour, 9 pounds
paris green, 10 pounds dextrin and 12
pounds of rosin. Tho paris greon is
worth 10 cents per pound, dextrin (1
cents, rosin 8 cents. Frequently 50
pounds of flour are used to 1 of paris
green, and unless tho worms are unusu?
ally abundant has been found effective,
Tobacco In Tex us.
Tobacco can be success!nlly grown
almost anywhere in Texas. The north?
ern and especially the southeastern
portion of the state is especially adapt?
ed to tho growth of both cigiu leaf and
tho heavy and strong article so well
adapted for export to Enropo. An ex?
cellent qunlity of tho former has been
raised in Montgomery county for many
years, and the product has largely in?
creased in the last three or four yoars.
This Texas raised cigar leaf from Cuban
soed is used by manufacturers to fill
their best "Havana cignrs."
