Result of Shallow Draining.


We notice IN one OF our exchanges fail
ure il shallow draining that ought to be q
timely warning to eli who are about 10 en-
gsge IN this sort of improvement. a rural
improver two years ago laid three inch tile
drain in a springy spot in his fsld for The
purpose of clearing il OF water. The pipe
was laid two feet deep the joints being
covered with ceLs. II seemed to work per
fectly for Zine. Last season the plot was
PLANTED with potatoes, bat the soil was unao-
countohly wet for drained land. After the
crop VS. gst hersd the tiles were examined,
and f md to be so full OF grass roots a.
to ste. the running of the water. Spring
water makes long season tor grass.
and II 30 years the roots had INSTRUCTED
the Pc age of water and made the drain use
less. i neighb0r OF ouIs has drained &C Yeral
swales upon bis farm, iayin the tiles only
eieb;eea inches below the surface, and thus
lost the better part OF his investment. The
shallow drains are not only liable to bs
STOP ped by roots OF grasses and other plants,
but mere is large loss In the failure to
drain what lies Immediately below the
drained surface. The roots of grass, OF fruit
trees, and OF hosd crops viii SO down four
or five feet IN search OF food ii they have the
opportunity. They can not thrive b3lOG
the water line which lies very near the bot
tom Of the drain IL the drains are
but eighteen Inches deep, that is alo3t tbs
limit of the pasture g-ound OF roots Ii the
drains 90 down three feet the stsa Of soil
thst vii furnish food for crops 10 nearly
doubled. The cost OF draining 10 that depth
IL but 8 little more. since the ditch grows
narrower as We so down. The cost OF the
tiles and the work OF laying them are the
same. whether the ditch Is eighteen inches
or four feet ia depth Bot If the cost were
doubled in making dep drains il would be
a ''penny-wise and pound.foolish" business
to have the shall oT drains for the sake of
saving tie expense OF ths lsst half OF the
ne ccssssly digging. Tile draining Is per-
marept investment. aud the tiles. If prop
eTly laid will clear the soil of water three
fee deep . thoroughly rs they will clear it
eighteen inches deep. The difference ia the
results Is great that in cost is small.
