THAR TARxAL STUFF. TO hear
Cough tell the "druggcr" story is worth a

Draining for Health and Profit.

To the Editors of the Daily News:
In a low fat country like Charleston and its
surroundings, there can be little or no doubt
that thoroughly draining the land must be
beneficial, not only to the health Of the place,
but also to the fertility Of the soil. Such be-
ing the case, it appears strange that so little
attention has heretofore been paid to the sub
ject.
Recently public notice has been attracted by
the action Of the City Council of Charleston,
and it is to be hoped that the matter will not
rest here, but will receive due attention, not
only from the public generally, but that indivi-
duals, looking to their own interest, will lnves-
igate for themselves, and ut least drain their
own premises, not only in the city, but their
farms in it's vicinity. IF this plan is faithfully
carried out, as it should be- there cannot be
reasonable doubt that all places so drained will
Immediately improve in health as well as fer
tillty. Writers on drainage and agriculture
in Europe, as we'll as in the Northern and West
ern States Of this country, give many good and
substantial reasons for thoroughly underdrain.
ing all cultivated land, high land as well as low
land. The advantages are nearly the same,
and in many instances the increase Of the crop
the first season has paid the whole expense,
and the land has been permanently improved.
Let our Southern farmers look into, study the
subject, and experiment for their own satisfac-
tion and benefit.
