Tile Draining.

Tile draining will undoubtedly be
given more attention In the future than
II has been during the past ON land
that Is naturally wet the drains viii
pay for themselves In two years, provid-
Ing there Is a good outlet and they are
properly put down. II frequently hap
pens that thorough system of drain
age Is not necessary. providing the
sloughs are under drained These are
generally the most productive parts Of
the farm when they are brought into
cordition by removing the water On
level lands one can make considerable
fall by cutting the drains more shallow
at the upper end. Thing out land under
any conditions is expensive work and
1t will generally pay to employ the SER
vices q a surveyor. providing the own
er Is not expert In the use Of the level.
In the past there has been considerable
waste on account OF using small tile.
Four-lnch tile seem to be the smallest
recommended for lateral drains. Out.
let's should be built up with brick Or
stone so as to keep them in good shape.

IL Is general custom among farm
ers TO feed the dishwater to swine. the
Idea being that they are thus given the
greasy water that comes from the dish
es used on the table. This plan ight
be valuable were It not thar soap Is
used In dshwashing. and soap OF a
cheap quality. as a rule 1t does not
seem as II 1t were necessary to use
the dishwater for swine. and the prac
tice should cease. Where there Is a
dairy Of considerable size on the farm
and the separation Is done by hand.
the skim milk can be used to advant-
age In mixing the bran or grain fed
to the swine or the water used for
cleansing the milk pals can be used
FOR this purpose. and would be much
better than using the dIshwater II Il
were possible to wash of the grease
from the plates in clear, warm water
which did not contain any soap. then
there would be no objection TO tine u.s.
OF dishwater. but it Is doubtful IL the
value Of this water would pay for the
trouble In thus obtaining 1t. II the
plates from the table were sCraDed
clean Of grease and all the particles
thus gathered fed to the laying hens
the returns would be more proarabl.
