In Indiana, Ohio and Illinois most
of the wet swaggy land has been re-
claimed from the marshes by means
of thing. Near Trumbull r. w.
Hearst has tiled 80 acres of the farm
now occupied by j n. Herrin. The

company of Texarkana The cost OF
thing this 80 acres was 500 In
company with Trumbulls enterpris-
ing merchant, J Nj. Davis. | drove
out to the work where we met the
engineer, Lewis E. Camblin, of Mo-
rocco, Ind He was glad to see us
and took us over the work and eX-
planned il to us in detail. They put
in $3.50 feet of thing which is 4 5, s
and 10 inches in diameter. There are
seven strings 1850 feet long. one
string 600 and one 500 feet long, all
of which are 100 feet apart. This til
ing is just ordinary unglazed sewer
age pipe without any cups at the
ends and is laid in bitches from to
4 feet deep. In the north these
drains are opened into the road but
it was not thought proper to DO sc
here, so mains running parallel witt
and about 80 feet from the roat
were laid into which these lon'
pipes empty This main is then ru1
. down the road for some d1stanc
where it empties into ravine. IN
. !smaller pipes empty into the man

to check the flow. The pipes are fro
one to two feet long and are la1
close together, the water from tn
surface is expected to perco1at
through the ground into them an
THEREBY be carried off. OF course
is an experiment here, If it works
will be the means of rescuing thous
ands of acres of fine land. The cos
here will be about $25 an acre, il
| the north it costs about SIS an acr'
as they have the pipe factories nea
them. The incline given the lines II
this work is $40 of foot to the 10t
| feet, which Mr. Camblin says is sui
ficient.
