Marriage Customs in Tartary.

Among the Kmghese the practice of
polygamy obtains. Generally the
eldest brother Of family has more
than one wife. The first wife is mis-
treSs of the household, and is called
bdjbjebe. To her are subject, not only
her husbands other wives, but also
the other inmates of the family. The
head Of the household will often send
q portion Of his herd several miles
away under the care of this wife,
while he himself will either remain
with his other wives about the graz,
ing ground or 60 and encamp some
where by himself. In winter the
family comes together again. The
manifold circumstances connected
wlthmarflages among the Kirghese are
somewhat formidable, and involve
the payment of q kahn, besides the
giving OF various presents. The af-
fair is arranged as to it's prehmin-
aries by matcbmakers, and the bride
groom after betrOthal has sometimes
to wait for year or more until he
can bring the remaining portion of
the k0Iin1. If during this period the
betrothed girl should die her parents
are bound to give instead their
next daughter, or in default
to return to the k0Zjn1, and pay also
fine of one or two horses and robes or
fHrs. So also is it if the girl should
refuse to marry, which she may do on
account of the suitor's i'll health, or
poverty 10 some localitlesl, her per-
sonal dislike. Yet another custom is
that if the bridegroom die or refuse to
marry tie girl, his parents are bound
to take her for their next son, paying
fine, usually a camel, in case of re-
1usal. When the prescribed period of
betrothal is at an end, the bridegroom,
dressed and mounted at his best. goes
with his friends to the 0uI or village
of the bride, where the tent has been
prepared for his reception. Through
out the ceremonies of betrothal the
brides brother has the right of pilfer-
ing from the bridegroom whatever he
pleases; but now the brides relations
come and take as presents almost
everything he has-his hat, coat,
girdle, horse and saddle, saying each
enc that they are for the. education of
the bride-a seizure that is afterwards
repaid by the relations of the bride
groom on the visit to the home of the
relations of the bride.

Tile Drainage.
Western Wis. Farmer.

There IS a growing conviction
among the farmers of this state that
tile drainage has been too long neg
lected, and some of them are now
ready to make contracts for from $500
to 81 500 worth of this kind of inn
provement whenever they can find
parties to dc the work. An article
published In the Indiana Farmer,
written by s. resident of that state,
gives some valuable hints on the sub
jet which We copy below.
The surface IN much of our state is
of such a nature that drainage in some
farms is absolutely necessary before
crops of any kind can be produced
with any degree of certainty. Even
the rolllng ground in this, the eastern
portion the state, is greatly benefited
by beng underdrained. as it is of a
clayey nature, or a heavy clay soil,
aud water cannot sink. When thor.
oughDy saturated with water. as ii
generally is during the winter and
spring months, the only natural way
it scan dry out SO as TO be fit for the
pillow, is by the slow process OF
evaporation. This often makes If
very late in TIA e spring before the
plows can be started, and consequent
ly makes ali spring crope later being
put in. than they ought 10 be. All
along draws, (our readers may unde

EDS and in many other spots of
greater or less extent, we have black
soil of great fertility, but always too
wet to produce good crops, IN the
natural state. Hence, drainage is very
necessary IN all qualities OF our soil.
Open nitches do some good, but they
are SO much IN the way Of cultivation,
that if they were all sufficient. they
would do more hindrance than all
the good they would do.
Since the advent of tile drainage,
the problem OF ditching seems to be
solved, and farmers generally are
adopting this mode of
DRYING OFF THEIR FARMS.
and with the very best results. The
universal testimony is, that the ex-
pense OF ditching and draining a
field, is very soon returned by an In
creased yield Of grain over what
could DO grown previous to doing the
work. Some 60 so far as to say that
the increase is so great, that all ex-
penses are paid IN a single season.
But probably this is little too quick.
Ordinarily we cannot expect such
quick returns. We feel amply.Tepaid
if, III from three to five years we get
our money returned, by an increased
yield of our various crops. Certain
we are, that money and time spent
sinking tile-drains, is money and
time well spent, and if the work is
properly done and the right sizes Of
tile are used the drainage will be per-
feet for a long period. AS the tile are
calculated to
LAST FOR ALL TIME
to come, it is very necessary to put
them in, in the very best manner;
give them an even, gentle fall all the
way so that the water will run freely.
IF the fall is not perfect the opening
is liable to clog up at some point, and
a ditch becomes useless above such OBJ
In all cases give the ditch,
cut to receive the tile, all the fall
possible, and take great care to have
this fail about the same the entire
length of the drain. Then the water
will run freely and evenly, and the
opening will always keep clean, and
no fears of a clog need be had.
Obstruction may take place, but it
will be from some other cause. The
greatest source Of annoyance in this
particular, is caused by small animals
which get into the drain, and being
unable, often, to get out again, die,
and thus cause a serious obstruction.
Great pains ought, therefore, to be
taken to have the terminus of the
drain so guarded that the water can
flow out freely; but yet 1othing larger
than mouse can get in. This is best
accomplished by shaking at this point,
a square wooden box, say about six
feet in length and of about the same
caIibre of the tile. Over The lower
and protrudmg end, firmly fasten @
coarse wire screen. This let's the
water and sediment out but effectual-
~ prevents any thing getting in to
choke up the drain. Such drains
completed in good order, requiring
nothing further than an occasional
examination of the outlet, to see if it
is running freely and serving the pur-
pose for which il was intended.
