Compare the tone and value The only way to (jct a true idea of the excep- tional values of our "Phoiiolas" is to compare them with other cabinets selling at about the same prices. We venture to state that you cannot get another phonograph at $25 equal to the cabinet at that price. Certainly Model B at $55 is unexcelled value. It is 17' i" inches wide, i8''4 inches deep, and 12^ s inches high â€" a good- sized instrument, with a double-spring, easy- winding, quiet motor and a surprisingly large volunie of tone. It would be hard to compare our magnificent "Organola" model with any i>thcr, because this is the only phonoiirapli in the world with tone control pipes which in- clude every note in the scale and give wonderful LleametiS and volume to the music. We are nble to give these exceptional values ttecause lit make our "Phonolas" complete in our tw.) large plants i:i Canada at Kitchener and Eliiiini. "Phonolas" play all makes of disc r,;cords.

I.N' general the conditions making drains necessary are those where the gravitational or free water is 'jither on the surface of the hind or so close to the surface as to interfere with the proper growth of plant roots. The instances where the v.ater is lying on the land, such as in pond holes, sloughs, pockets, swamps. • tec, are very common in Ontario, and It is usually an easy matter for these conditions fo be rf^niedied. They may be remedied either by means of open ditches or a system of tile drains. Where there is a large area of low- lying land which is uniformly wet, such as we have in the southwestern counties, namely, Kent, Essex and Lambton, tile drains augmented by open ditches are used, and some- times when the wet land is the same or possibly lower than the lake level dikes are constructed and pumps in- stalled to remove Ihe water. Other instances where low-lying and Oat lands require drainage are thoso which are occasionally flooded either during the spring freshets or during lieavy rains. If no means has been provided for this water to be remov- ed quickly the crops growing on this land will be killed out, and thus cause financial loss to the land owners. In the case of underground springs we have a condition where the im- pervious layer of the subsoil has caused the underground water to be blocked and held to such an extent that it eventually comes to the sur- face. These can be prevented by hav- ing a tile drain put in a short dis- tance above the springs so that the wafer may bo cut off and conveyed to a proper outlet. Another instance is that where irrigation is being carried on. in some of the irrigation districts the water is fairly saturated with alkali salts. When this water is used for irrigation it is spread over the land and eventually is evaporated from the surface of the soil or from the f leaves of plants and trees by the sun. the alkali being left on the surface. This alkali accumulates un- til it becomes so strong as to prevent the growth of plants or trees. To remove this alkali it is neces- sary to install a system of under- drains, then thoroughly flood the soil wlilch is saturated with alkali, thus dissolving the r.lkali and allowing the water to pays off through the drains, thereby removing the alkali. After this has been removed It will bo necessary to use a greater amount of water for irrigation of this soil, and after each irrigation as soon as the water has been evaporated to such an extent that the remaining water is almost saturated with alkali the free wafer remaining in the soil and containing this saturated solu- tion of alkali must be allowed to run off through the drains. Across many Ontario farms we see small creeks flowing at least part or the season. In most instances where this occurs the drain can be placed parallel to this creek, and except dur- ing the spring freshets or after very heavy rains the water will flow through this drain, thereby obviating the- use of the creek. When this drain is installed the creek banks could be levelled, and Instead of be- ing a creek with ragged banks and weeds and small trees growing along- side, could be converted into a scoop ditch. Thi:; ditch could be of such a nature as to allow farm machinery to cross back and forth, and would take care of the occasional heavy flows of water. In all conditions whore the ground water comes within two and a half feet of the surface of the soil it is necessary for this to be removed in some manner so that plants may have proper root growth. â€" W.

The Phonola Co. of Canada LIMITED Kitchener, Canada IMiilosophy of llnvinK a Ciotitl Time. Take the "t" out of toil and you have oil. You can't take the hard work out of farming as easily as that, but a little run robs it of much of its drudgery. Good times are the oil in the toil of agriculture. That is what a great many sincere persons overlook who study oconomics more than human nature. When we attempt to organize a farmers' association, what is done? Why tight away a vast amount of talking is committed anent educa- tion and improvement. Hoth are gooil, of course, and the fanner, in common with all humanity, wants to Improve â€" there's a dlfterenoe be- tween improving and beinn improved . â€" but he's not always too sure that the association will effect the im- provement. To begin with, he is often not too well acquainted with his real neigh- bors â€" the men in the inside of the men he knows now show theiuselves only to kindred spirits. Then after a hard day's work he la prone to stay quietly at home in preference to driv- ing several milee to discuss, under a smoky lamp, the old problems in much the same old way. Hut there's one thinj everyone wants â€" a good time. Everyone takes his recreation In some form â€" only there's nothing collective about it; each goes his own way at his own time. Keally persuade the neighbors once that they can have a better lime at the club meeting than they can at home, and they'll go without coaxing. So that seems the logical startint point. A loader never Unds it hard to'get people to organize for pleas- ure â€" to have a good time. , And it leads to great things, too. As people become better acquainted mutual respect and confldenle de- velop.
