CuAApAloS, ILL.,, Aug. 15.-Lass year, at this
time, t:cro was great t1cal ot talk about tllnc.
This year, not so much Is satd, but great dcul
has bcau done; still, there arc u1cn who last
year werc fully convinced that they would tile
tlruIu, but the dry season has removed for tho
timo botng the necessity, aud they have become
lukcwasm. A couple Of ayoraEe dry scasons
would, In measure, eradicate all thought OF
to-ilrain!ng from the minds Of most farmers
THIS ought not to bo 40, because no man can
tell when ills crops may be failures from m ax-
ccssve rainfall; honcc every ono should be pre-
pared.
During the first year or two Of the tlc-furor,
the ttlcB pit down were, as rule, too small for
tho work required OF them, but now, 40 tllo-
makers Inform us, the demand Is for the larger
sizes, ranging from fotr to ak inches. An
e.ght-inch tile will conduct array IN enormous
quantity OF water, a1ll is lnrge cnough to curry
OF tho water from very largs slough. Where
the surface to bo drainnd 10 too great, two OF
tleee large tiles shoiltA be put In. At no great
t,istanca npart. 10 lar, the draining donn has
bcun mostly In the largo slourhs, anl but lew
ntta1npsa At lateral draining have been ma!le.
| There Is now more inquiry about this, md Tie
sizc OF tile for tllat nurposc thnn formerly. a
chcap pamohlet OH dratnagc, giving a iew simple
rules, would, If advertised, meet with large
sale.
THE PROPER sHAsos
for ti!e-isain,,g is wheu the soil Is dry and the
| farmer at leisure. III n maturity OF cases no
better time will be found thai, the present: tile
plow may ba uscd to a considerable extent, and
| tile labor 10 thereby greatly aceel Grated. In
covering tile. after few Inches Of soil has bcon
thrown In will. spado to keep It in It's position,
tho balance may be replaced VIII heavy nols
drawn By horscs. provided ono tenn Is allowed
to walk ahead Of Tic other SO that tho s0tl may
| be drawn to The contre. It Is not such big
| ioh after n1t, to lay fow rods Of tile, II ono
only goes ut 1t rightly.
