THE FARMING WORLD.
OUTLETS FOR DRAINS.

Several Excellent Devices Fully Described
and Illustrated.
Unless special care is taken to protect
the outlet of a tile drain, there is danger
of it's being more or less injured. Ii
it is in the pasture, stock tramping
about it are liable to crowd the tile
out of place or break them. Where
land washes very easily, heavy rains
will frequently displace them. 1t is
also sometimes desirable to so close
the opening in the drain that muskrats,
rabbits and other vermin cannot enter
it during a dry time and build an OBJ
struction. Several such devices are il
Illustrated in the cut.
Outlet D is particularly suited to a
tile which has it's opening in the bank
of a creek or ditch some distance from
the bottomo 1t is merely a wall Of stone
or brick laid in cement. This protec-
ton prevents the washing away OF
earth from about the outlet or a dis
placement of tile or earth bytyeezing.
