Tile Manufaetory.

It is perhaps known to many of our readers
that our progressive and enterprising fellow
citizen, Mr. F. Csayton, has introduced in
ourmidst machine for the manufactory of
drain tile, and that the same is in full and sue
csssful operation on his farm, two miles from
this place. z,...9l4:;i,:ii. s..J u
IA Kiln of these tile has already been niburn-
ed, and are pronounced by Mr.. Dickson, an
intelligent Englishman, who for many years
has been engaged, both in England and in the
Northern States of this country in their manu-
facture, .and;Eho came out from Geneva, Y,
to assist Mr.. c. in putting his machinery in
operation to be equal to the best he ever saw.
Tile draining is no experiment. It has been
tested in Europe and in this country, and
found to be not only far superior and'more du-
rable, butichesper- than any other naethod of
draining yet discovered. - .% = .n,,s @a,s -. =,
We expect great results from this new enter
pariisse-not Immediate but gradual, as our
farmers will test for themselves, cautiously at
frst the merits of tileing and if they are sat-
isfed with results, will increase the quantity
used until their entire farms are thoroughly
drained 1t may be many years before our
people employ tile 10 the same extentthat they
do in those countries where high-farming is in
vogue, and where, as in England and other
portions of Europe, twenty-five miles of tile
piping on = fifty acre field is not unfrequent;
but we predict that each year will witness an
increased demand for them-that where proper
ly and sufficiently used, the profits of farming
will be increased in proportion to ths extent
they are used, and the value of the land en-
hanced in tho same ratio. '..r ~ 4.
Mr.. Crayton, at present, is making tile ex-
cinsiyely for draining. He has, however, die for
making brick, and will soon have dies for mar
king tile suitable for putting down hearths and
floors. He expects to manufacture the drain
tile extensively, as he will use a great many in
draining his own farm, and he is receiving
many orders from practical, thorough-going
farmers of the county. He sent samples of his
manufacture to Charleston which were noticed
by the leading papers of that city, by the Neacs
as follows: .;.e ...
Perhaps one of the most important necessa-
ries to good farming is thorough drainage. To
effect this drain tiles are used, and in all the
best cultivated, counties the demand for them is
large and increasing. Among the new manu-
facfures which our feHow-citizens are gradually
Introducing is the construetienof the most ap-
proved drain tiles This establishment is loca-
ted at "A ndcrson, South Carolina and is con-
dueted BY b F. Crayton, Esq., a most inteli-
gent and practical gentleman. Specimens were
vootardoy shown at the office of Messry Sloan
&; Seignious, factors, Brown & Co.'S wharyes,
which have been pronounced by Northern
manufacturers unsurpassed by any they had
seen. Our citizens who intend to practice
thorough culture will be gratifed to know that
they can obtain a home made article equal to
any imported. aaj z - s,s. 1s 7azE = ltG~ea
