About Drainage.

The Importance Of thorough drainage Of
the soil is becoming every day more apparent
to the observing and practical farmer, and the
testimony Of all who have tried it is, that for
certain soils it pays better than any other in
vostment There are thousands Of acres Of
the very best land that are only waiting for a
few undcrdraius to yield in return abundant
crops and a handsome remuneration, even the
first year, for an the outlay.
The following article from Moore's Rural
Ncc Yor5er will be found Of interest upon
this subject
Tho greatest want and most indispensable
necessity to the farming interests of America
is drainage Travel over the most Of the
States, and almost everywhere the eye is
greeted by the painful lack Of q system of
draining Millions of acres Of the richest
soil in the world arc for one-thrd to uc-haIf
of the year entirely submerged, lying in pools,
or wet and soggy, eating out the very roots
Of vegetation, resulting in barrcnncss, or poor,
ruinous crops. Such @ condition of things is
wearing 10 the mind and farmers become
hopeless Of succeeding in the mighty contest,
become paralyzed and shrink from the task,
until hundreds of Them seeing the tinsel of
the cities, sell out their farms at serious
loss, aud believe they will better their condi-
ton by working for some employer at one
dollar and a quarter or two dollars day, or
less. How sad their disappointment But
a short experience is necessary 10 teach them.
They find the glitter but brazen, and the hearts
Of their neighbors an unieeling lump compar-
ed with their previous surroundings The
once healthy, rosy wife and little ones be-
come puny and sicklyi aud Oft in their try
ing moments they express the WISH " Oh,
how ! would Ike 10 If we had the dear old
iarmstead again; there we had enough to
eat, and although homoly, to wear. Here
we dread the morrow, not being assured Of
bread TO satisfy the demand of nature" In
short, the wolf is ever lowering around the
door, and they cannot 60 out but the gaunt
shadow is DIGGING their steps.
Small farmers are the worst situated in re-
spect to draining. Their means are limited.
They cannot afford to purchase tile to lay in
the drains, and they look upon drainage as an
luxury. ! herewith send YOU
several systems of filling drains, which have
been, and are largely practcod now, and are
within the reach Of the poorest. Labor, and
not money is the main requisite, backed with
will
Cut your drain two feet wide at the surface
and one foot at the bottom, by two to three
feet deep, according as the soil is light or
heavy. If in part Of country were stone is
really unattainable, 60 into the wood lot cut
up the underbrush if the wood is not cleared.
If it is cleared, lop the branches from the for

The waters famed as the Pierian Spring.
The sleeps of Helicon he never trod,
Nor how'd his knee before . heathen god!
He saw, afar, the magic mountain rise.
Tn enchanted groves that kiss the .arching
skies
But turnd from these, from all his eyes
away,
Tun'd his own harp and sang . deathlcss
lay
The poet made not born, is he who roams
Ger the wide world, and madly chafes and
In quest of muses., gods, he knows not what,
To aid his limping line, his puny plot.
While Natures Bard in Ocean, Earth, and
Ail'
Hears songs divine and music everywhere!
And he who best translates for duller ears
Sings best the song Of mortal hopes and
fears,
Shall have monument not built by art,
A home forever in each human heart!
And such the song Of Burns, as fresh to-day
As when he, living, sang the immortal lay.
