Advantages Of Under Draining

Waring, in his elements Of
Agriculture" states that the adj
vantages of understanding are
many and important, and enumer.
ates the following:
1. It entirely prevents drouth.
2. 1t furnishes an increased sup
ply Of atmospheric fertilizers.
3. 1t warns the lower portions
Of the soil.
4. 1t hastens the decomposi-
ton Of roots and other organic
matter.
5. 1t accelerates the disinterga-
ton of mineral matters in the
soil.
6. 1t causes a more even dis
tribution of nutritious matter
among those parts Of soil trayers-
Gu py roots.
7. 1t improves the mechanical
texture Of the soil.
8. 1t causes the poisonous ex-
crementitious matter Of plants to
be carried out Of the reach of their
roots,
Q. 1t prevents grasses from run
ming out.
10. 1t enables us to deepen
the surface soil, by removing ex-
cess Of water.
IL. 1t renders soil earlier in
the spring.
II. Itprevents the throwing
out ofgrain in winter.
IL. IL allows us to work sooner
after rains,
IA. 1t keeps of the effects OF
cold weather longer in the fall.
10. Itprevents the formation
Of acetic and other organic acids
which induces the growth Of sor-
rel and other similar weeds.
l6. Ii hastens the decay of
vegetables matter, and the finer
communion Of the earthly parts
Of the soil.
II. 1t prevents, in a great
measure, the evaporation Of water
and the consequent abstraction
Of heat from the soil.
Is. Itadmits fresh quantities
Of water from rains, &C., which are
more or less imbued with the fer
tilizing gases Of the atmospheric
to be deposited among absorbent
parts Of soil and given up to the
necessities ofplants.
10. it prevents the formation
Of so hard a crust on the surface
of the soil as is customary on
heavy lands.

10 inches deep among his vines in his
