"A well-laid stone drain is equally
rs good, is not better. than tile drain.
The stone is imperishable. and if well
laid will not be displaced and may last
for centuries. Some tiles NAV have
defects which may not be perceived.
and if one fails the whole drain fails.
In laying a stone drain, the stones
should be packed very closely at the
side of the ditch, SO that the water can
not work behind them. and the bottom
stones. laid in two rows. are covered
with Hat pieces and the points broken.
II foot of small stones is then laid on
the top and the earth packed well on
these, there is no reason why the drain
should not be permanent.
