There is a :spur from the hill on the road that runs into Miller’s place that cuts off the outlet from the ditch that runs to the river on the south side of the bill. If Mr. Miller made a drain up to the road near those springs. we might open a ditch along the road. so that the water would get into Mr. Miller's place at one place. so that Mr. {Miller could get it into his drain. We also examined the ditch alongside Mr. Hudson's place and find that the outlet for ' the water there is across the road and through “the farm on the west side of the road, unless the outlet is deepened it would not be of any use to Hudson-ls place to deepen the ditch along the road.â€"S.

THE WOMAN WHO UNDERSTANDS For the fiscal year ending inst March. 1910. Canada’s purchases from the United States were $223,501,809, their purchases from us $113,150,778. For the past decade the returns in round figures show imports from the United States of $1,600,000,000, ex- ports to the United States of $800.- 000,000. In other words seven million Canadians purchased twice as much from the United States as ninety mil- lion people in the United States pur- chased from Canada. THIS YEAR'S \VIH‘IA'I‘ (‘ROP ‘W'ILL BF.
