on a sandy soil will draw seventy five
feet on either side, while in clay soil
their effect will not be felt third as
far AS already stated, the width Of
the strip of good corn or other grain
over a drain is good indication Of the
pulling power" of the drain. Where a
drainage system is being put in a little
at a time the laterals can be put in
from IS to 200 feet apart at first, de-
pending on the soil, and others put in
between later If experience shows
them to be necessary.
The Outlet. '''."
One Of the most important parts of
the drainage system is the outlet. If
the drain empties into ditch or
stream stone bulwark should be
built up to keep the end tile from be-
ing washed away. The drain should
enter the stream above the level Of the
water If possible When 1t enters be-
low the force Of the current is check
ed, and If the water Is carrying much
silt some Of it will be deposited in the

tile. 1t Is a good plan to use sewer
pipe for few feet back from the out
let. as it is not SO easily displaced BY
freezing =, t.fl. ...t
Many drains are built with an out.
let in a box at the side Of the road OF
next to a neighbours fence. Such an
outlet is not. very satisfactory. but
sometimes it is the best that can be
provided. The box should be well
built to keep out rubbish. The mouth
! OF the tile In this as we'll as in other
forms Of outlets should be covered te
keep out small animals during dry
weather. The bottom Of the box should
be at least foot below the tile. The
silt9that settles here should be clean
ed out occasionally" A much better
plan than the use of tile box is to co.
operate with the road authorities or
with the neighbors and extend the line
Of tile to some permanent outlet
= Laying the Tile.
It rarely pays a farmer to- lay his
own tile. but he, should keep close
watch Of the men whom he hires to do
the58workl a. little earelessness in lay
ing7 the tile may. make the drainage
system practically worthless. If at
any, place the tile dips an inch below
the grade line. that inch .wilI fiils up
WITH silt, and the capacity Of the whole
system will. De REDUCED that much.
The old saying that a chain IS no
stranger than its weakest link applies
with especial force to tile drain. No
man can lay tile to grade accurately
by eye. even if there is water running
in The ditch at the time. Remember
that, 1t is your money that Is paying
forsthe drain and that it Is your priv
ilege to have it put in as you want 1t.
The only way to get the tile laid ex-
acuy to grade is to use targets. When
an engineer lays out a line Of the tile
he sets a row of grade stakes, each
one marked with the depth the ditch is
to be at that point. When the ditch
is down nearly to the required point
targets are set up at these grade
stakes A target consists Of an upright
stick on each side Of the ditch with
a crossbar clamped to 1t. These cross
bars should be adjusted so that they
are level and just seven feet above the
grade line For instance, If the cut
marked on the grade stake is four
feet the crossbar should be three feet
above the stake. After number. of
these targets have been set a string is
stretched across the tops of them.
Then a measuring stick seven feet long
will just reach. from the. string to the
correct grade line. With one man to
hold the measuring stick and another
to scrape out the bottom Of the ditch,
1t can be dug to grade very accurately.
OF course both digging the ditch
and laying the tile should begin at the
outlet. Don't let the men stand on
thesbanli and lay the tile with hook.
Make them get down into the ditch
and put them in by hand. standing on
those already laid to hold them in
PLACE. By handling each tile any
cracked or imperfect ones can be dis
covered and thrown out. After the
tile. are laid little dirt should be
scraped from the side Of the ditch to
hold them in place AS soon as the
whole line is In no time should be lost

hardpan the tile may have to be laid
shallower or the wafer will never get
to them. Deep tile mean deep layer
Of mellow SOIL. which acts as a sponge
to hold capillary water for the crops.
The deeper the tile the farther their
effect will be felt on either side.
The size Of the tile depends upon the
fall and the amount of land TO be
drained. The engineer who lays out
the drain will usually be able to com
pute the size required.
Z In estimating the number Of acres to
be drained by a given line Of tile all
the land from which surface water
flows toward 1t should be included. as
we'll as all land drained by laterals
which empty into 1t.
The depth Of the drains and the char
acter of the soil are the chief factors
that determine tie distance apart to
place the drains. Tile four feet deep

COWS THAT WEAR COATS.
Give More Milk, Too, After Their
Teeth Are Brushed

Give More Milk, Too, After Their
Teeth Are Brushed
Two novel methods for dairy
farming, originated and tried by w.
Kelsey SchOepf, a wealthy traction
man, are now a part OF the routine
on his farm in Glendale. a suburb of
Cincinnati. Each one of the
SchOepf's twenty-four full-blooded
Jerseys, the herd valued at 5000,
wears one piece cream Colored linen
coat every day to keep off the flies,
and thrice daily their teeth are
brushed carefully by two farm
hands.
Mr.. Schoepf has always been of the
opinion that if a cows teeth were
cleaned and its disposition kept I'M
ruf1ed better health and better milk
would result. Accordingly when it
was reported that the cows wearing
the coats and having their teeth
cleaned produced two gallons of bet
ter milk daily the orders became
permanent. Ninety pounds of butter
are sold each week after the
SchOepf residences in Cincinnati and
New York are supplied Mr.
Schoepf's first innovation in farming
was to order daily bath for each
of his Jersey cows.
