DRAINAGE OF FARM LANDS.
Continued from page 15.)
Best Kind of Tile.


The tiles used should be round in
form and. above all, we'll burned. They
need not be vitrified in order to be
lasting, but whatever kind of clay is
used in making them, every particle
should be completely burned.
Such tile is almost indestructible
in earth and water. When exposed
to long continued freezing and thaw-
ing, as at the outfalls, the best vitritied
pipe should be used.
After one has become familiar with
the ware of a certain factory, properly
burned tiles may be distinguished by
their color and by their ring when
struck with a piece of steel.
Good clay may usually be semi-vitri-
fed if skill is used in burning Poros-
ity of the finished ware is not impor-
tant since the quantity of water that
will pass through the walls of we'll
burned tile is practically nothing.
All water enters at the joints. Wit
rification, although not essential, is al
ways d u0SlTdDl0 qualify III Idlu lliO.
Location of Drains.
Sub-surface drainage necessitates an
outlet suitable for the system of under
drains which it is proposed to con-
struct. A field or farm may sometimes
be thoroughly drained by simply lay
ing tiles in those parts which are uni
formly too wet for profitable cultiva-
ton.
In such cases main lines should be
coated in the course of natural sur
face flow, with due regard also to
straight courses. Branch lines should
follow the same general law.
This does not mean that the curves
and crooks which are always found in
natural depressions should be fol-
lowed; straight courses should mark
the lines for drains.
Land which requires drainage al
ways lies in natural areas of greater
or less size, each having one point to
which all the drainage must finally
come.
The boundaries of these areas
should first be determined and the
plans so made that when the drainage
is complete the entire tract will have
been provided for.
A failure to do this is frequent
source of disappointment in drainage
work.
Construction of Drains.
Laying the tile follows the making
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

earth is dry, ditching contracts are let
to laborers, who do the work when the
farm labor is slack, at from to 10
cents per cubic yard.
After the ditch has been prepared,
the tile should be laid from the outlet
upgrade. Sizes up to inches in diam
eter may be conveniently laid with a
tile hook, the workman standing on
the bank of the ditch and reaching the
tile into place, turning them in the
trench until the ends fit closely to-
getner along the top line.
When this has been done there is
ordinarily a space between the ends
of the tiles along the bottom or base,
owing to the fact that in their manu-
facture tiles are not usually cut with
parallel ends.
The advantage of starting the
straight ditch and keeping it so will
now be appreciated. In making
curves, the straight tiles can be used
by turning them around until they fit
the desired curve.
In case a crack of one-fourth of an
inch or more is left, it should be COW
cred with a piece of broken tile. juno
ton tiles should be set where laterals
are to enter and these should be Y's
in preference to Us.
The Planting Season.
This will open one or two weeks
earlier in a we'll drained field than in
the case of soils affected by surface
drains only. This is somewhat due to
the fact that the frost goes out of the
ground earlier in the spring
Rain water, as it passes through the
soil, serves most useful purpose by.
dissolving and preparing crude mate
rial for the nutrition of plant life.
The soil, having been well prepared,
is at all times during the growing
season, in readiness for the growth of
plants; such growth not being him
dered by stagnant water or saturation.
Where stiff clays are found the soil
is made more porous, open and fria-
BILE and the roots penetrate more deep
ly than they do in surface drained soil.
The effect of drought is diminished,
owing to the enlarged and deepened
soil bed, and the more favorable con-
dition of the surface for preventing ex-
cessive evaporation.
Stubborn and refractory soils are
frequently SO changed in texture and
structure that they respond to culti-
walton with abundant crops.
Harvest Time.
The crop that may be expected from
land properly underdrained is in bet
ter condition and bears an increase of
from % to 100 per cent.
Not only may the farmer begin work
a week or ten days earlier in the
spring, but he may also expect his
winter grain and clover will not be
injured by the heaving of the soil, as
is the case with wet clay soils.
He may expect his crops to endure
the drought of summer with less In
jury than those of undrained land.
He may adjust the rotation of his
crops irrespective of the fact that
some portions of the field are wet,
while others are dry.
He may continue his cultivation dur
ing the summer without being obliged
to avoid or go around portions of his
field which, by heavy rainfall, are
made too wet for profitable cultivation.
Such are a few of the advantages
that accrue to the farmer as regards
the harvesting of his crops, for there
are very few soils that will not re-
spond to underdrainage, if properly
treated.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

After a heavy rain we hear people
say so many inches of water fell, but
we wonder how many people know
what an inch of rain really means?
1t means more than one would at
first think For instance, an acre is
6,272,64O square inches and an inch
of water on an acre is, therefore,
6,4.2,640 cubic inches. That amounts,
at 231 cubic inches to the gallon, to
27,150 gallons, which at 8.34 pounds
per gallon, equals 226,431 pounds, or
a little over 113 tons. Thus in other
words an inch of rain means that rain
is falling at the rate of 113 tons per
acre, SO that the average farm of 100
acres would receive $1,000 tons of wa
ter during rain of the "inch" va
riety.
