DRAINING POOR LANDS.


The fact has been often impressed upon
the minds of farmers-and is undoubtedly
patent to all of them-that the draining of
all lands, and especially of poor, swampy, it
might be said good for nothing lands, is at
tended with most beneficial results. As an
instance of this a farmer writes to the
American Institute Farmers Club from
Perry, Ohio, that he has farm of 120
acres, much of which was under half the
year. He has made on it 200 rods Of open
bitches, varying in depth from two to three
and a half feet, and eight to twelve feet
wide at the top. He then goes on:
81 use a plow and scraper, taking the
earth into the field, filling up all the low
places. | have Underdrained with brush,
that did no good; the crabs shut it up. l
then tried timber, laying rail each side of
my ditch, then covering with oak heading,
two feet long and two inches thick laid
crOsswise. This answers a very good pur-
pose as long as it viii last-aboUt twenty
years in drains that are dry half of the time;
when there is water all ofthe time, it would
last longer. l am now using tile from two
to five inches inside of the pipe. l am put
ting them down from two to five feet deep.
At the bottom Of my drain / cut a
groove the size of my tile. l
then commence at the upper end
of my drain to lay tile, pressing them
down into the grove. l choose a time when
there is water in the ground. put a good
bard brick at the end of the first tile, press
ing each one down until the water will pass
through, clearing out all the loose earth that
may fall in, with tool made for that pur-
pose. My experience is that land that is
not worth S. per acre for farming purposes
without being drained, is worth $50 after
being thoroughly drained. 1t will cost
about $40 per acre to drain land here. We
pay S1.2j per 100 feet for two-inch tile,
S2.10 for three-inch, IS for four-inch, 81 for
five-inch, $3.50 for siX-inch. l have raised
one hundred and twenty bushels (ears) Of
good sound corn per acre, twenty-seven
bushels of wheat, sixty bushels of oats, and
this on land which would not do anything
without drainage"

meat with the mixture; pack with skin

little salt. After being down three or four
weeks, take out, wash, and hang up two
or three weeks, until it is dry. Then smoke
with hickory wood three or four weeks.
