Herein is the story of the adventures
Of his lordships courier. known as
Nine. ST. Joyite. on and after the night
of November II. 1873. in Upper Can

quite trustworthy. its writer having
been known TO me these many years
in the which neither nor any of my
friends have had occasion to doubt her
veracity. The writer gave more details
than are desirable but the document is
nothing more than letter to an inti-

Records of Farm Drains.

Another feature of engineering
work for farm drainage in which there
should be great Improvement is that
of maps and records. AT Ames, on
the college farm, the present author.
tues have had predecessors who put
in quite extensive amounts of tile
drains without leaving accurate plats,
so that in many places we cannot now
find even where the drains were
built, to say nothing of their Sizes
grades and depths. In making eXca,
vations old lines of tile whose very
existence was not suspected are not
infrequently encountered, and the
writer knows Of places where at least
two systems of tiles in the same 10.
cality have been put in by successive
generations of authorities. The same
or a worse state of affairs must result
on individual farms throughout the
state, as time goes by and the farms
change owners, unless the present al
most total neglect of keeping COM
plete records of all tile drains built
is remedied. Even il the land does,
not change owners, mems memories
fail, and the writer has often noted
that even after very few years men
who actually help build drains are fire.
quently unable to locate them with
in a considerable distance. Without
complete maps showing the particu-
lars Of our drains how can we hope to-
keep them in working order! The
breaking and choking up of a single
tile might render many acres of land
worthless in wet season, and causa
enough damage in single year to
have paid ten times over for records
which would have enabled the diff
fculty to be located and remedied at
less than one dollars expense.-Iowa
