Good Drainage Often Moans Good Crops. A properly drained soil may be worked earlier and later than a poorly drained one. The length of the growing season can be increased from one to three weeks in some cases, to day nothing of being able to get on the land sooner after a rain. This extra time, at the beginning of the season especially, frequently means th& d .fference between a good Ac 4d absolute failure. E. B. D r rn, assistant prores oa of agroc )my, Louisiana State University, gives other reasons forfarm drainage, as follows: 1. To remove surplus water. Soil that is saturated with water is not in condition to produce or dinary farm crops. Water is pres. ent in the soil in more than one ItnM but for practical purposes ie may say that capillary mois ture is the only form of water that ordinary farm crops can "r. All in excess of tyis, such as fae or flood water, is injurious. 2. To ventilate the soil If the sil is saturated with "water all -ar is excluded, and this. among ther things, prevents all bacte al setion having to do with motrifcation or breaking down of 0e organic matter essential to plapt growth. Again, such soils timd to become sour, or acid, and ths is harmful to plant growth 8. To lower the water table. If thelevel at which the soil water is relatively high the feeding agea for the plant roots is limited On the other hand, if the plants, at the beginning of their growth can send the roots to a consider ble depth a larger root system is developed and in time of drought the plants are not as likely to 0e9r. 4 TV. prevent soil erosion. W ever water runs off the top ao the land it ustally carries with Itsa lare amount of fine top soil This is a severe loss in many Ways, and may be prevented by popper drainage. A well-drained sai will absorb much of the sur pla moisture. - L To warm the soil and length elthe season. A well ventilated all is a warm soil because, be fig well drained, the moisture is nit allowed to evaporate at the satuace. Any surface ro-" which ir easporates is cooled. 8ýý$. U. Press Bulletin.

All animals should ba vaccinat ed regularly where charbon once existed, and the owner should not wait until the disease has broken out, as it requires about one month from the first injec tion for the animals to become protected. It is better to set date on which to begin vaccination each year. This should not be al towed to pass without having the animals given the first dose of a double-dose vaccine. They ought to be protected by the first of April, as charbon, as a rule, rare ly breaks out previous to that time. The symptoms of charbon vary according to the channel.through which the infection (germs) en ter the system, and may be from sudden deathbwithout any extern al signs, to sickness for a few day with swellings on the exterior of the body. Where the infection has been inoculated through the skin, a primary swelling will be seen at each point of inocula tion. Hogs usually show swelling of the throat, which is sometimes mistaken for sore throat or quinsy During the summer months, es pecially where charbon has pre viously existed, all cases of sied den death should be looked up on a sauspicious of charbon, and the carcasses treated as such, as most of themare likely to have resulted fromthat dhease, and it Is-much safer not to take any chsaes.
