John T. Stewart, in an address to Minnesota farmers, said: The basis for all drainage improve ments is an accurate map of the area to be drained. Such a map, known as a topographic map, should show all local improvements, the boundaries of lands to be benefited by the drain age and the boundary of the water shed. It should also show the eleva tion above a fixed point of all sloughs, low lands and the tops of ridges through which it might be necessary to construct the outlet channel, and ■wherever practicable and funds are available five-foot contours should be sketched of the field. With such a map the engineer can determine the best outlet and route for the proposed channel. On this aiap the location for the proposed drains can be laid out, their grade, size and approximate cost determined, after which the ditch may be staked out on the ground, making such minor changes as are found necessary by closer study of the route. Where a detailed survey has been made and the notes platted it is economy to es tablish a few permanent marks, from which the survey could be continued, or another engineer at some future lime could take up the work where it has been left off without having to duplicate that which has already been done. Land owners should select points for these marks where there is little danger of their being molested and then see to it that they are pre served. Farmers as a rule do not realize the advantages in preserving survey mon uments. This fact alone has been the cause of a waste of much money by the duplication of work. Surveys for drainage often costing several hundreds of dollars, have frequently been made, and where the construc tion work was not carried out the notes and piats were never filed and no permanent mark left. When the work is taken up a feW years later, it is necessary to duplicate the survey. A few additional dollars spent in making permanent marks and in pre paring the records for filing would have preserved the entire work for future use. In rnaiy cases an engineer is em ployed to stake out a drain on a route which is supposed to be the best one, no examination is made for another route or oitflet, the area of the watershed is not looked up. As a result the size of the ditch is mere ly a guess. Time may develop the fact that the best, route was not selected, and the ditch is either too large or too small, and consequently does not perform its work satisfactorily. A ditch being improperly located either does not drain all the land it should, or is expensive to construct or maintain. Select Seed Corn Early. 1 find it advisable to select •my eeed corn about the middle of Octo ber. writes a Whiteside county (Illinois) farmer in Farmers' Review. The genera! practice here is to select, the seed corn when it is being husked. Not more than ten per cent, of the farmers select their seed in the field. Nearly all the farmeis, however, keep their coin unshelled. Fanners here have corn shellers, which they use in shelling their seed corn, and most sbeil off the tips and butts to prevent these seeds from going into the seed corn, and I believe this is a good prac tice. I hang my M< d in a well-ven tilated room until it is thoroughly dry, and then I take it upstairs in the house and hang it in a room that al ways has a tire under it and the stove pipe running through it. I recom mend this as a good practice to be followed. Keep Wagon Jack Handy. You will gr.?ase the wagon oftener if you have a wagon jack handy. The load will pull lighter and the horses will s:';\ "I'utnk you" now and lh';f CARE AND USE OF STRAW. | How the Farmer Can Make It Count for the Most. In the care and use of straw the ; first requisite is to begin caring for ! j tiie straw at the proper time, which is j when tin- grain is mature enough to j j insure its becoming thoroughly dry in i i shock, stack or barn before being I | threshed. Having cut and shocked the I grain at the proper season, the next requisite is to house or stack careful ly, housing being preferable to stack ing, of course, for both grain and straw. Permit the observation in this connection that either straw or hay j stacked out will soon be a thing of the j past. After having permitted grain to i remain in barn a sufficient length of time to insure a right condition for threshing, secure the services of a thresher whose work it will be to store away straw in shed and grain in granary, or otherwise, if so directed. The straw is now in shed, well cured and in good condition for feed, bedding or for market if desirable; but we would confine its uses to the farm, as the farm from which the straw is marketed becomes, in the course of time, sterile. Shortly after threshing is done the | season is at hand when the stock which has been roaming over the ! green past tires all summer will enjoy having shelter over them at night and a nice clean dry bed whereupon they may lie. Now the straw which has been so nicely cared for in the shed will not only furnish the above com forts for the stock, but will afford variety in the way of food for change from the more nutritious kinds of feed, which are, of course, indispensable. After winter has set in and the weather has become severe it will be- j come necessary to have shelter for j the stock and feed within their reach | all the time. The shed with the straw I therein will supply both of the above | and will also keep droppings and bed ding in condition to be spread upon the fields as fertilizer, thus repaying the farmer for caring for his straw and stock. The shed and stables in which the straw bedding has been used may be cleaned out at the farmer's leisure when weather is reasonably fair. It should be done, however, only when necessary for proper care and cleanli ness of stock, as by permitting the fertilizer to remain in shod rots it and makes it all the richer when it is not exposed to washing rains and snows. Many more uses for straw on the farm might be given, but this article is sufficient to convince all that straw pays for its care. AXLE GREASE. It Does Not Pay to Use Any But the Best. I The usefulness and durability of a wagon or dray depends greatly upon the proper care of the wheels and ! axles. The prevailing idea among both farmers and draymen is that grease is grease anywhere and it doesn't matter much what kind or how it is applied, just so it is applied. Many wagon owners cut the boxings out of their wagon wheels by some inferior lubri canf. Many of these run and leave the spindle dry or form a stiff, gritty siil)- ] stance in the vrheel which is very bad. j The right axle grease should have i proper body; shoulc not be so thin as j to run nor so thick as to cake. There | ate plenty of reliable axle greases on j the market and there are plenty which j are not reliable. Get a good, expeu- | sive kind and stick to it. It pays ; every time.

" 'Yes,' said the dean, 'I can marry folks. Have you got a man?' "Again the woman grunted, and de ; parted. About sundown she returned, , i dragging with her an apparently ; \ abashed and reluctant brave. " "Got him,' she remarked, laeonical | ly, producing her marriage license. | The man knew no English, but the j woman prompted him when it became J necessary for him to give his assent to the dean's questions.

Shortest Line to Rosebud Reservation The opening of the Rosebud Reservation, October 5 to 17, next, will give over 5000 people each a choice farm in Tripp County, South Dakota, for a small sum per acre. 838,000 acres will be opened. People drawing one of these farms must pay $6.00 an acre: one-fifth down, balance in 5 years. Chamberlain and Presho, South Dakota, are places of registration. Both are located on the shortest line to the reservation from Chicago—the CHICAGO MILWAUKEE & ST.

All persons, except certain soldiers, must be present in one of these towns for registration. Presence at the drawing is not required. Those who draw one of these farms will be notified by mail.
