TILE DRAINS AND ALFALFA.
Testimony Of One Farmer Shows That
Roots Do Not Fill Up the
Drains.

A neighbor planned to SOW % acres
of alfalfa this spring, but some one
told him that the roots would stop up
tile. and render them worthless. can
not grow it, unless on tile-drained
land, says an Ohio farmer in writing
to the Ohio Farmer In a field Of al
falfa five years old on my farm where
there is as much as so rods per acre,
the tile are still at work. In some of
these tile. however, does the water
flow continuously. In two or three
days after a very wet spell, the water
will, in the main, if not altogether,
cease flowing. Several times l have
examined carefully to see if any roots
could be found in the tile, but | was
unable to find any. The roots grow
down to the tile, and then pass on
around.
am told that where the water flows
constantly through the tile, there is
sometimes trouble from the alfalfa
roots entering the tile. | have eight
acres of alfalfa sown last August, that
has near 400 rods of tile under it,.
From the prospects the alfalfa holds
out to me, l am perfectly willing to
take the risk. In fact | put down $50
rods last spring, that might feel safe
in sowing the alfalfa. have no ex-
pectation that l will ever need to take
up the tile to clean the roots out Of
them.

WATERING TREES.
Why the Practice Proves of Value at
Planting-Necessity of Close
Packing of Soil.

An eternal question exists as to
whether water should be used in set
ting out a dormant tree, Some men
use water and some men do not.
When the scientific tree planter uses
water he does so merely to pack the
dirt tight about the roots of the new
ly set tree. The unscientifc man that
uses water does so because he
imagines that the roots need moisture
so that they can take in plant food.
This is a mistake, as the roots do
not begin to take in food until the
leaves Of the tree develop. The en-
tire motion of sap in tree comes
from evaporation of moisture from
the leaves This acts as the great
engine TO propel the machinery of the
tree, if the operation may be so
named. 1t is many weeks from the
time of planting till the time when
the tree begins to use water. 1t is
thus easy, says the Farmers Review
TO understand that water is not of
help to the tree except so far as il
brings the roots in closed contact with
the earth This latter is very impor-
tant. One of the great causes of
failure with trees is the fact that the
dirt is not packed in tightly about
the roots and cavities exist under the
tree.

The novels of Camille Lemonnier, the

Nowhere is the social function of art

In the instances where the coats are

The outer part of the coats thus
