from thorough drainage of heavy soil

When the Water-line of q heavy sol

seed-bed be broken up deep, the fine

larger quantity of moisture in dry an,
hot weather, than if there were n
under-drains. As the soil is deepen

plougking, the capacity to absor
moisture from the atmosphere
greatly augmented. Hence, in DIR
season, If the seed-bed be broken u
deep, fthe roots of growing plant
spread farther in every directiO

earth will absorb O much larger quar-
