A "Jag" Without Whisky artd a Weird
Nervous Disorder.
Alruhol is greatit" feared by the pow-
der people, and rightly so. But they
cannot eliminate a strange 'malady that
appears among their workmen in the
powder mills. As subterranean labor
in compressed air produces -the bends,"
work in the powder mills creates the
"powder house finer.':
A powder house is to place for an
unsteady hand or an unseeing eye. But
the "powder house jag." a freak prod-
uct tit the plants themselves, is some-
thing which no amount of diligence can
torefend. Large quantities of alcohol
are used in the making or smokeless
powder. and the air in the shops fre-
quently gets heavy . with its fumes.
Men have been known to • leave the
plants reeling and stupefied. while one
serious accident was caused because a
fume fuddled workman threw on both
the high pressure and low pressure
brakes at the same time.
A weird nervous disorder that steals
upon powder makers has been called.
"powderitis." Treading all day with
rubber sole shoes in- a shop which a
vagrant spark will change into a cra-
ter, they get keyed up to a nervous
tension that never runs down, with the
result that even when off duty they
nearly jump through their collars at
an unexpected flash of light. Although
powder, unless it is confined, does not
explode at a spark under normal con
ditions, a powder shop may be changed
into an inferno of wildfire in a few sec-
onds.
Window Masa.
It is certain that there 'were gigs,
windows In Pompeii, as the proof i -
found in its ruins. In more modern
times it Is known that windows of
some kind were ;lazed- so early as the
third century, if net before, though the
fashion was not fairly introduced untl1
it was done by Benedict Bisoop about
074. Windows of glass were used in
private houses in Italy as early as 1177.

These who have had their farms sur-
veyed and have installed part or all of
their drains may have a new plan pre-
pared free of charge if they will return
the old plan after marking in all changes
made in the original system.
On the same terms as these for sur-
veys the College will send a man to give
you a start on the installation of your
4rains if you have had no previous ex-
perience. He will show you how to set
grade stakes, grade the ditch bottom,
make the junctions of main and lateral,
lay the tile and assist you in any way
required.
If you contemplate draining during
1916 or are planning for 1917 and need
assistance, write to the Department of
Physics, 0. A. College, Guelph, or your
District Agricultural Office, state your
difficulties and request assistance.
The best of us sometimes feel lonely

And feel we're deserted and left to
repine,
But there's always attention sincere to
be had.
Though it may not be quite with your

Taough fortune be fickle and cast me

There is one who will seek me with
interest, great;
With a cordial persistence which can't
be denied,
He will teach me to share in human-

So there's little excuse when my spir-

As I think of a future of sociable

That somewhere a microbe is waiting

DRAINAGE FOR WETNESS AND 0uTFITTI
DROUGHT
How shall we obtain elle most satis-
factory soil moisture condition through-
out the year? The great factor in
moisture control is drainage, natural
or artificial, all require some artificial
drainage.
The .problem is, "where shall we
place our drains?'.' "How deep shall we
put them?" "What size of tile shall
we use? The position of the drains de-
pends largely on the slope of the field;
.
the depth on the kind of soil•the size
of tile on the extent of the area drained
and the fall or grade given the tile.
If you are ,;uncertain about these
points or anticipate any difficulties the
Oatario Agricultural College will send
you a drainage surveyor who will. if
necessary, prepare a map of your farm
showing the location of your drains,
of tile totie, and the grades and depths
of the drains.
The cost to you for these services
will be travelling expenses of the sir-
veyer, and as several surveys are made
on the trip the charge is seldom over
