Tile Drainage.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review STEM
ographic Report of Wisconsin Roundup
1nstitute.)
N. E. Becker spoke on tile drainage.
In part he said:
The changes in the soil caused by
draining are manifold. Plants are not
30 easily killed by severe frosts In
winter, because the ground is left more
dry and porous. 1t allows cultivation
earlier in the spring, and all through
the year after heavy rains. It causes
the soil to sooner obtain a cert&ln
warmth in such degree that on sipsi-
lar kinds of soil location from two
to three hundred miles southwsrd
would not be better. 1t keeps the soil
more porous and mellow, because 1t
will never be fully saturated with
water, which would cause it to bake
like a brick If very dry weather fe9-
lows heavy rains
1t gives more effect to manure awd
therefore insures better crops, and
greater variety of plants and ceres;s
may be raised on so drained landA
On my own farm the first drain WIS
laid in 1887. and many more since thyt
time. The first ones were laid, CT
course, where we thought they woul.i
be most beneficial. Every year eve~
since they have proved to be 70.
Where in wet seasons nothing WOULD
grow but weeds. the very best CROPS
have been raised ever since
On most every farm there are d.
pressions and little wales, where in tie
hrst days of seeding time in the sprir g
the ground is too wet; after they are
drained they are much drier in The
spring than those parts that lie muc.i
higher. Marshland, with layer Of
peat to depth of three feet or morn
should not be drained. If the water
10 tapped OF from such ground, hard,
ly anything but weeds and a poo,
crop Of grass will grow. Keep all the
water in such land-but the surface
should not be covered by water-for
big crop OF even poor marsh hay is
more valuable than a small crop OF
hay Of still poorer quality.
Land with subsoil OF gravel re-
quires no draining, but l have seen
sandy land drained to good advantage
In clay soil, black muck and such,
draining proves most beneficial In
the eastern part of the county I live
in (Ozaukee) the subsoil is red clay,
which is almost impervoius to water
1t finds no way out and therefore the
ground at times is fully saturated With
water. and on such soil draining
proves to be of great Importance and
value.

horticultural Observations.

Reports from large buyers Of fruit
are to the effect that very few fruit men
pick, pack or sort their fruit properly.
When fruit is to be shipped long dis.
tances to market 1t is very necessary
that only the best fruit be sent. as the
cost of Transporting poor fruit is as
great as the good fruit. This becomes
a leading principle when frui. is
shipped across the Canadian border
and has to pay duty. If it is not first
class fruit the Canadian buyers do not
md profit in the transaction, and are
not likely to again seek the American
producer.
Like many other fruits the Kieffer
pear has It's fast friends and Its un-
compromising enemies The conflicts

fruit for all purposes.
The new Fruit Growers' Association
OF California Is making an attempt to
do away with some of the obstacles
that have always been in the path Of
the fruit producers. About 70 per cent

experts. If the association holds to-

other fruit growers In the state to
pack their fruit better, as otherwise
the association would take the entire
field, at least SO far as desirable mar
kets are concerned.
