PRACTICAL DRAINING
HINTS.

The County Geatlemaa offers some
good ideas on drainage, and we
clip out a few paragraphs for the
readers of The CuHivater who are
just now so much interested in the
subject:
Drains should always be cut as
narrow as possible, the bottom be-
ing just wide enough to receive the
pipes, which renders the drain more
efficient. The length and depth Of
drains, and their distance apart,
regulate the size of the pipe that
should be used, but level ground
requires larger pipes than where
the inclination is greater. The Ca
pacitY of the pipes for minor drains
should be just sufficient to carry off
the maximum flow of water, for if
too large, the sediment will lodge
in the bottom of the pipes and
choke the drains.
Dealing with the different meth
dSds of underdgaiping, Prof. Scott
alludes to the practice which pre-
vailed before drain pipes came into
use, Of forming the drains of stones
gathered from the fields. These,
however, are only used now on very
stony land, where it is difficult
otherwise to get rid of these him
ORANGES to cultivation. Nobody
would now think of carting stones
to the field for this purpose. Be-
sides, double the labor is required
for the stone drain, and it is neither
SO effective nor so durable as tile
draining; while in loose soils the
stone channels are more apt to get
sifted up. A cartload of pipes will
60 q hundred times as far as a cart
load of stones, besides requiring
less excavation in laying them.
MIR. Bailey Denton has placed on
record that he has traced the roots
9 feet deep, and the roots of peren-
NAL grasses he has found in drains
4 feet deep, while he cites an in
stance where the roots Of mangolds
were found at q depth of 5 feet.
Clay lands with southern slope
require to be drained to greater
depth than lands with northern
aspect. But, however, much prac-
teal men may differ over the value
of deep as against shallow drains,
Professor Scott says there can be
little doubt fnar closer oralnlng Is
now being practiced than was form,
erly believed necessary by the ad-
vocates of peep draining, and the
inference is, that they are at the
same time draining shallower. The
excessive distance between the
drains was being resorted to by
landowners to save expense because
of their being obliged by the enclo-
sure commissioners to drain to
depth Of four feet; but less inter-
val is now being adopted, while the
minimum depth on which the com
missioners insist is placed at three
feet, except in special cases where
greater depth is considered ne
cessary. The distance between
drains on strong clay lands, should,
generally speaking, be from four to
six times the depth; on strong loans
six to eight times the depth, and
on light soils eight to ten times the
depth.

The Growth Of Human Beings.

The investigations of the Anthropo-
metric Committee of the British Associ-
alton, have made more or less clear,
several interesting facts respecting the
rate of growth of the two sexes. The
period of most rapid growth is from
birth to five years of age, and then
both sexes grow alike, the girls being a
little shorter and lighter than the boys.
From five to ten the boys grow little
faster than the girls, but from ten to
fifteen years the girls grow the faster,
and at between eleven and a-half and
fourteen and a-half years old, are
actually taller, and from twelve and a.
half to fifteen and a-half are heavier
than the boys. The boys, however,
take the lead between fifteen and twen-
ty years, and grow at first rapidly. but
afterwards slower, and complete their
growth Mt about twcnty-three years,
while girls grow very slowly after tif-
teen years of age, and attain their full
stature at about the twentieth year.
The tracings and tables show slow
but steady increase of stature up to the
fiftieth year. and more rapid increase
in weight up to the sixtieth year in men,
but the statistics of women are too few
after the age of twehty-three to deter
mine the stature and weight of their
sex at the more advance periods OF
life. The fact that man continues to
grow in stature up to his tifticth year
contradicts the popular notions on the
subject-according to which he ceases
to grow before reaching half that age.
