Tbe abundant evapora tion of former years from sloughs, ponds dlches and damp" surface soil, Is now impossible since tbe tile drains carry tbe water away almost as fast as it falls It was predicted by some persons a few years ago that the gridironing of the earth by tile drains would eventually affect the rainfall, but this opinion was not endorsed by moot of the scientific agriculturists and the members of farm er's institutes. Perhaps there was more reason In the prediction than was ered itedat tbe time. The Gazette would like to bear from our farmers on this point, Now, while It may be well enough for the Kankakers to worry themselves with such an abstruse problem as the above, not having bad any practice experience with drainage save that nsnally applied to a cast-oil beer keg, the farmers of Coles and can 'present a satisfactory answer In one time and two namely, tile draining has as much effect upon the weather as Altgeld-no more in negative way, although since it was es tablished In tbe territory named there hasn't been a single failure of crops.

The new flslds were Injured tnore or less by the continued drought during last fall, which had the effect of thinning out the plants. The critical time with the small fruit grower is now on. as the plants in the southern portion of the state are just beginning t.i bloom.

If the crop escapes a killing frost before the har vest, an unusually large crop in both yield and quality is expected. Obituary, After lins of several eeks duration Mrs. Eliza wife of Dr. J. W.
