To obtain uniform grade on any open,
tile, or gopher ditch For the purpose OF
illustration, assume that the ditch to be
cut is 100 rods long, 4 feet deep at the out
let and feet deep at the upper end, and
I it is required tohave a uniform grade the
entire length; the surface along the ditch
being uneven, First, have three or four
stakes about four or five feet long; a coup
lie of lathes or straight edges about eight
or ten feet long and two or three inches
wide. At distance of about four or five
| feet from the centre Of the proposed ditch;
at the low er. end drive stake three feet
above the surface, and another four feet
high at the upper end; drive one or more
stakes at any Intermediate points between
the two end stakes, bringing their tops on
level or straight sight line; you then
have obtained the grade of the bottom Of
the ditch, Oh the top of these stakes, If
tits an open ditch it must be cut through
out, seven feet deep rom the top of those
stakes. Your ditcher must be provided
With lath or straight.edge about ten
feet long and pole seven feet long. To
find the proper depth of the ditch. place
the seven-foot pole in the center of the
ditch opposite the first stake, let the lath
or straight-edge rest on the top of both
stake and pole, if the straigbt-edge islevel
across the ditch, It is of the proper depth
To ascertain the depth at any intermedi
ate point along the course of the ditch,
plant a temporary stake along line with
the top of your grade stakes; as before,
place the straight-edge across the ditch
and hold it level, if the seyen,foot pole
goes under the lath, it is all right For a
Gopher ditch three feet deep at the outlet
and two feet and half at the upper end;
stake the ground as before, the upper stake
being six inches higher than the lower
stake; hsten stake to the beam of your
ditcbing machine, on a line or Of the same
heightas the grade stakes ] mean the
Creamer Ditching Machine and regulate
the depth of the Gopher by the land screw
SO thntthe top of the stake on the machine
will be constantly on line with the top
of the grade stakes along the route of the
ditch to obtain better sight range, place
couple Of lateral stakes about ten feet to
one side Of the line Of grade. stakes and
ten or twenty rods apart and lay your laths
from the top Of stake in the line of the
ditch to the top of the lateral stake, then
the sight will not be interrupted by the
machine and cattle, to any extent, and the
fall or grade will be uniform along the
whole ditch. OF course if the projection
or rise Of the ground, at any point, is over
twelve inches, il must be plowed off first.
