Points on Farm Drainage.

Summer is the time when drainage
work can be best done, as at this time
of year there Is least water in the SOIL
The presence OF too much water al
ways inter1eres with the digging anu
the work OF leveling, though water
sometimes acts as spirit level anu
helps to indicate Levels. There are
many fields That can be drained at "A
very small cost, especially where the
land is somewhat porous, but whether
the land be porous or not, the man
that does the WORK should be an eX.
pert, at least in the matter OF nnisn-
ing the bottom of the dltcn. ANY man
can pillow cut the ditch and any man
can shovel out the DIRT, but the level
ing OF tue bottom cannot be lett to
any man that comes along. In adul'
ton to having skill, he must be non
est, Tor the employer cannot watch the
workman at every point; and II any oi
the work Is sngnted 1t Is likely u
make the Effectiveness OF the drains
less than they should be. This Is es'
pecially the case ON land that is near
ly level. In all cases the survey OF the
land should be very carefully made,
and for TINS purpose civil engineer
should be employed, unless the dram
is short one with good deal OF tall.
Many and many drain has been put
in by guess or by the measurements
Of the eye, and the owner has then
failed to reap the benefits from 1t he
expected. Sometimes there have been
imperceptible depressions, where the
silt from the passing water has accum-
ulated and rendered the drain useless
in few years. We have heard OF
long system Of tile having to be torn
out to discover these clogged portions
This should be avoided by correct
building at the start. The tile must
be laid with the utmost care as to
trueness.

men of the railway company, and the
functions of government we're per-
formed by police justice. In 1902,

Shallow Cultivation.

In all work in the garden 1t Is bet
ter to give shallow cultivation than
deep cultivation after the roots OF the
plants have extended into the bare
spaces between the rows. Before that
time the cultivation may be deep, and
should be deep to get the soil thor
oughly loosened up, so that the roots
of the plants, as soon as they, reach
out into this fresh soil, will be able
TO strike deep and remain below the
line of the shallow cultivation that
Is to follow. If the ground is not
stirred to a good depth at first the
roots will extend along the surface OF
the ground and will be constantly in
terfered with by the cultivator, no
matter how shallow 1t may be rum,
With the proper preparation OF the
ground, and with this deep cultivation
at first, the latter civilizations. though
shallow, will be found to be very ben
eficial. They will not break OFF the
ends of the roots, but will keep the
soil well aerated and thus help to
loosen up the plant food and place it
in disable condition. This aeratlon
of the soil is of far greater import
ance than most of our farmers have
suspected. It is far better to cult
vate often than after long lapses Of
time, as in the latter case the ground
becomes hard. capillary tubes are
formed, and soil moisture is wasted.
