Probably no work on the farm pays

soiling is that ono operation lasts u

it II new land were drained as soon
as the forest were cleared from it.
subsoiling would not be needed. The
decay OF roots OF trees in the subsoil
makes material drainage way through
which superauous or stagnant water
can pass. But In 81 cases out of 100
drainage is not resorted to until the
compacting OF soil and its inability to
carry OF water makes drainage nee
essary. Then after the underdrain is
down 1t takes years OF freezing and
thawing and clover growing to estab.
lish the old water, courses again. or
rather to make new ones The sub
soil pillow helps this work amazingly.
1t should follow the drain. and it will
do good to repeat the subsoilin &
every few years. thus enabling tho
soil to hold more water without be.

must always pass off wherever an out
