TILE DRAINING WET LAND.

Many a man throughout the wet sec-
ton Of the country is UP against the
proposition of either tile draining his
farm or going dead broke. This is a
condition which confronts him and Is
not theory. For years he has tiled
his lands, seeded and plowed them,
only to have his crop destroyed and his
labor lost by an excess of water during
the growing season, which at best is a
most discouraging situation. Now,
these wet lands when properly tiled
are almost without exception the most
productive of all lands, and so tiled not
only insure good crop in wet season,
but also in a dry one, for tile drainage
works two ways-it dries the land in q
wet time and furnishes needed moisture
to the soil in dry time. AS it looks
to us, the owners Of such land will do
well to look the situation in the face
and decide that ii is worse than use
less to continue to work such land in
its present undrained condition. If
there is no other way out of the dilem-
ma, better sell one half of the farm
and tile drain the other half or borrow
money with which to do the job, for
this is the one farm improvement
which will well justify the borrowing
Of money to do. The cost of tile drain
ing If properly done will run from SIS
to 500 per acre, and instances are
plentiful the past season where the
crop the past year-the extra crop-has
been enough to cover all the expense.
There is no sense in figuring how to get
hold of more land to work at home or
far off so long as there are good acres
on the old farm which may be reclaim
ed at an expense of not to exceed $50
per acre, and this better land than can
be bought anywhere. We know of
hundreds of farms where this recla-
nation work can be started to the
greatest advantage. Mistakes are
made in tile drainage of land, but they
are almost wholly connected with the
neglect to have proper survey of the
area to be so drained, the failure to Sc
cure sufficient fall for the water and
dig the bitches deep enough, and per-
haps more than any other thing the
| tendency to use tile of too small di-
ameter. Draintile of three inches are
too small for general use save for short
lateral lines of tile, and none less than
| four inches in diameter should ever be
used. We know of a case where $500
worth of thing had to be all pulled up
and relaid with four inch tile. And it
is not the sloughs and wet spots on
the farm which alone may be bene-
flied by thing, but there is many a
seep on the hillside which little tile
draining will remove and make pro-
ductive. More than in any other way
the attention af road builders and
workers should be called to the great
value of tile for the highway to rid 1t
Of the subsoil moisture. Many an al
most impossible quagmire of a coun-
try highway has been completely re-
constructed by the laying of two lines
of draintile, one just outside each
wagon track, making such highway
from being the very worst to be found
in the township by all odds the best
road to be found in the community.
Men all over the wet sections should
wake up to the great reforms connect
ed with the intelligent use of draintile.

1t is becoming quite a common thing
with good people who live on the
farms to devote the Sunday egg prod

purposes. Who knows but in time, if
this thing is persisted in, breed

theological tendency that they will re-
fuse to lay eggs on any other day.

A leading agricultural journal refers
TO timothy as legume and valuable
soil fertilizer. This is a queer mistake
for paper to make, as 1t is neither a
legume nor in any sense soil fer
tilizer, but on the contrary soil rob-
Der. Seeding land to timothy will re-
suit in cleaning the land from weeds,
but it never under any circumstances
enriches the soil.
