Practical Tic Drainage.

Many large areas of unproductivc
land could be brought to a high state
of production by the use of tile drain
age, provided it is properly laid. To
show how this can be done many books
have been written and several expert
ment station bulletins published within
recent years A bulletin just issued
by the New Hampshire station outlines
the work thoroughly.
In laying out drainage system the
first thing to do is 10 decide on the To-
cation of the outlets. This should be
at the lowest available point, so as
to get the greatest amount OF fall. The
main drain should follow the line and
direction of the lowest lying ground.
The size of the main drain will depend
upon it's fall and the area which 1t
drains. The greater the fall the
smaller may be the tile A four-inch
main is ordinarily sufficient for ten
to twelve acres. For laterals a three
inch tile will usually be found salts
factory. One danger in using small
tile Is, it does not take much sediment
to fill them up.
The main can be located in the centre
of the area and the Iaterals off at right
angles from either side or on compar
atively fat piece OF ground where there
are no particular low-lying channels.
1t is better 20 locate 1t at one end or
side, and place the laterals in parallel
lines from one side.
The depth of the drains will depend
upon two conditions. viz: The nature
of the soil of the ground water and the
average distance below the surface.
Four feet is usually considered deep
and two feet shallow drainage.
There is n close relation between the
depth and distance apart of drains.
The distance apart will depend upon
the depth. The distance apart is also
dependent upon the texture of the soil
through which the water has to filter.
In fine clay soil tile should not be
placed deep, but close together.
In laying tile it should be begun at
the outlet. Have the first few feet Of
very hard burned tile or glazed sewer
pipe, which will not be injured by
freezing, and the outlet walled up with
stone TO prevent washing or sliding
down OF the dirt, and with some sort of
grating TO keep out burrowing animals.
The laying of tile should follow soon
after digging the ditch.
Either a Y or T should always be
used, making connection with the lat
erals. The upper ends of all lines
should be closed with fat stone or
brick The ditch may be filed either
by hand shovel or horse scraper.
AS to the cost of drainage, the New
Hampshire station estimates that most
land in the State could be thoroughly
drained for S35 TO $40 per acre, while
many could be greatly improved by a
single line costing from SIS to $50 per
acre. The first cost is high, but it is
the only cost.--Amerlcan culdvator.

In the CatechIsm,

The late Rev. Walpole Warren was
hearing the Sunday school repeat the
catechism one Sunday preceding con-
firmation, when a boy from the class
of small children ventured to ask a
question of the minister.
"Mr. Warren" he inquired in an
anxious tone. why does the multi
plication table make people wicked 2"
why do you ask that question.

1t would pay any man who raises
crops of any kind to make a special
study of tllage. To understand 1t
thoroughly will need quite a little
study. for tillage refers to such things
as the preparation of the land. the
seeding of the crop, care of the growing
crop, the kind of crops that one should
raise in order to improve the fertility
of the soil and to retain the fertility
after it has been secured.

MR. WEST ARRESTED
BUILT ICE PLANT NOTWITHsTAND-
 ING CITY COUNCIL.
We'll Known Citizen Will Answer Charge of violating an Ordi- nance Before Recorder
 on April 25.

D. P. West, proprietor of the Wind sor Hotel and of the Exchange Ice Works, was arrested at 10 o'clock yes terday morning by 5peciaf~Ohicer W 7 F, Payne, on a warrant charging nm with violating Section 295 of the City Code. which says No person shall get up or operate a steam engine, etc, without first obtaining the consent of the City Council"
 It will be remembered that the City Council some time ago refused to grant the petition of MT. West to build and operate an ice factory at the corner of Catoma and Bibb Streets on account of the complaint of neighboring prop erty owners that 1t would inJure prop erty in that residence district. The factory was built, however, and has been in operation some time.
 The Section of the City Code under which the arrest was made further states that anyone convicted of vio- latinR that ordinance shall pay a fine of s20, and that for each day the or dinance is violated after date of con viction the owner shall be liable to a fine of $10.
 The case was continued at its call in the Recorders Court yesterday af- ternoon until the afternoon of Apra 25. A number of witnesses have been sum moned to appear in the case and the court room will probably hold an in teresting crowd of spectators when the case is tried.
