Ten Reasons for Under-Draining.

L
> T. 1t prevents water which falls from
resting on or near the surface, and rem
ders the soil dry enough to be worked or
plowed at all ltimes.
: e. By rendering the soil porous or
spongy. it takes in water without flooding
in time Of rain. and gives it off, again
gradually in time of drought.
8. By preventing adhesion and assist
ing authorization, it allowsfhero to pass
freely through all parts oi the soil.
"a. By facilitating the mixture of ma
nure through the pulyerized portions, it
greatly increases its value and effect.
s. II allows water falling on the sur
face to pass downward, carrying with it
any fertilizing substances. as carbonic
acid and ammonia until they are arrest
ed by the absorption Of the soil.
6. 1t abstracts in similar manner the
heat contained in falling rains. thus warm
ing the soil the water discharged by drain
mouths being many degrees colder tlran
ordinary rains.
a. The increased porosity of the soil
renders il a more perfect non-conductor OF
heat and the roots OF plants are less in
iured by freezing in winter.
g. The same cause admitsthe entrance
OF cir, facilitating the decomposition Of
enriching portions Of the soil. 81
s. BY admitting early blowing. crops
may be sown early, and an increased
amount reaped in consequence.
10. 1t econonises labor by allowing
the work TO go on at all times, without in.
serruption from surplus water in spring. oI
from q hard baked soil in summer.
