FARMERS COLUMN.
Draining proIongs the Season.

A case showing the utility OF draining
recently occurred under our observation. A
portion of The field, underlaid with clay and
hard pan, that kept the water near the sur
face, was drained in the fall of 1882. Crook
neck squushes and other crops were planted
10 lss3-about the middle Of Mey-where
the ground originally was SO wet. that it
did not admit Of planting until June. Sey-
eral hills of squashes were planted at q
distance from the drain, while chance seeds
dropped in the manure came up within a
few feet Of another main drain. The first
week in September came a cold snap which
killed the squash vines in the first location,
leaving portion of the crop about half
grown. This, and the subsequent irosts Of
that month, did not injure tho vines near
the drain, and they were still vigorous
when the squashes were gathered in Octob
er. The same influence in proonglng the
season was noticed n the beet crop grown
upon the undrained land in 1882 and the
same crop grown IN 1853. The soil was 30
wet and muddy in the previous season, that
the beet seed rotted and had TO be
planted three times, end after that many
gaps were filled with turnips. 1t was =
very poor crop In the past season the beet
seed came up lairly. the few vacant places
were filed by ransplantlng, and a fine
crop of mangolds and sugar beets was gath
cred, at much less cost OF labor. This is
very conclusive proof of the advantage of
draining. II raises the temperature of the
soil so that seeds VIII vegetate two or three
weeks earlier in the spring, and it retains
the summer heat so that damaging frosts
are kept off several weeks IN the autumn.
Draining is Of special service in raising of
all crops Of tropical origin, as squaslIes
melons, tomatoes, egg plant, peppers, corn,
etc. 1t is the ellectual cure of wet laud IN
all climates, and indispensable to the pro.
fitable cultivation of all swamps and spongy
land in the northern portlJ ms of our coun-
try. 1t will add from four tn six weeks to
the length Of the growing season, for many
OF the crops grown in the market garden
and upon the farm Capital invested IN tile
draining is Admitted to be among the
safest and best investments the farmer can
make.-WM. CLIFr, in Am Agricuiturist.
