HINTS ON TlLE-DRAINING.
a Method Which Seems to Be Cheap as
Well as Effective.

a Method Which Seems to Be Cheap as
Well as Effective.
will try to state what, from my ex-
perience, is the best plan for the ma
jority Of farmers to follow in thing
wet farms. AS the most of us do not
like to go in debt for tile drains, we
have to go slow, but if we keep our
object always in view, it will surprise
us to see what we can accomplish in a
few years. Before beginning to dig.
take careful survey of your place,
and observe where the greatest amount
of water is likely to flow, and the clay
of the land" in general. Make sure
of good outlets for main drains; then
whenever you can, put in main, lay
ing large enough tiles and deep
enough so as to take all the water that
is likely to be drained into it from each
side by smaller tiles at some future
time. There is some difficulty in de-
termining what size of tiles is neces-
sary. In my opinion 4-inch tiles will
carry the water from a ten-acre field
that has 1,200 rods of Pinch tiles run
ming through it, and emptying into
the main drain. You many get too
few Or too small tiles, but I do not
think it is possible to hurt the land by
laying any number or size of titles.
think great many farmers have
false ideas in regard to the action of
drains. We hear them talking about
drains drawing as if an underground
channel eXerts suction to draw water
towards it, while in reality it has only
passive, not an active effect. Drains
can only take the surplus water, no
matter how close they may be put, SO
we must give up the notion of land be-
ing overdrained. The belief that one
drain through the lowest part of a farm
is all that is required to insure a thor
ough drainage, may be correct in re.
gard to gravelly, Or porous soils, but
on great many farms it is not enough.
There is such variation in the nature
OF soils even on one farm that a care
full inspection is necessary, in order to
decide what distance apart the drains
should be put. We have put some as
close as q feet and feet inches
deep, and do not think there are many |
places where it will be necessary to |
have them any closer.
At no part of drain should the tiles
be less than 20 inches under the sur
face, as it is best to have them below
the frost Where it is easy digging I
would put the tiles as deep as possible
and still have plenty of fall, as the
deeper your drains are, the fewer you
will need. Where the digging is slow
and hard it is cheaper to put them 81
feet deed and a shorter distance apart.
Use a level before digging and find
out how deep you can get at the lower
end. A main drain with large tiles
a to 6-inch) ought to have at least 6
inches of fall for every 100 feet, and
more If possible; Pinch tiles not less
than 9 inches. When digging (espe-
cially where the fall is slight we al
ways set poles to guide our depth. It
is foolish to trust altogether to the
flow of water when you can know just
what you are doing with very little
trouble Of course the drains must be
about straight in order to use poles as
described. Cor Ohio Farmer.

A BEGGAR'S GUIDE,
How the Fraternity Find the Rich and
Ready Givers of Paris.

| How the Fraternity Find the Rich and
Ready Givers of Paris.
The census of beggars, which was
taken recently by the Prefecture OF
Police, has brought to light some curl
GUS facts respecting mendicancy in this
city. 1t is matter of history, of course,
that Paris beggars have always been
peculiar set of people from the days
of the Cour de Miracles to our own;
but the queur seem to thrive more
than ever in these times. when money
is made with comparative ease and
distributed with generous hands. The
Paris beggars have, accordingly, grown
prosperous with the age, and we are
far from the days of genuine rags and
squalor of Miracle Court.
The beggar is nowadays well trained
in his profession. There is the novice
who begs Unfortunately from door
to door, and the cold Bird who
only rings the bells of mansions.
The queuc have a directory of their
own, in which the names and adj
dresses of rich philanthropists are
given, as well as the lodges to be used
for unloosening the purse strings
Ibis is called the ''Guide of the Grand
Jeu," Or "big game" and costs six
francs. There is smaller volume for
'petit-jeu," which gives the addresses
OF mere bourgeois people, and only
costs three francs. These guides are
carefully compiled, and are constantly
increased by new additions, each beg
gar who has discovered donor selling
the name, address and charitable quail
tiles OF the philanthropist to the pub
fishers for a franc or two. Full in
structions are given to the mendicants
IN the guide books as to how they are
to demean themselves before those to
whom they apply for aims.
Rich Radicals, they are told, give
largely to the people who represent
themselves as victims of the Reaction
aries, or even to those who allege them
selves to have suffered as Communists
at the hands of the Versailles Govern
ment. Others are told what clothes thew
are to wear when on duty; for pros
porous beggar is supposed nowadays
to have wardrobe. Some philan-
thropists, for example, give generous
~ to those who affect ''clean poverty,
that is to say, poverty with we'll
face and faded clothes. Others
are muniticent to shabby genteel people
who have been ruined in trade; while
some are only fetched" by famished
avs and absolute rags. M. Jain, a
police inspector, lately came across in
noted haunt of beggars man who
lad been notary, and who, to show
he officer what he knew, babbled lepal
phrases in Latin. Members of Parl;a.
nent are, as a rule, a great mark for
'eggars. --London Telegraph.
