NARRATIVE OF "COL. JACK"
Gen. John 7. Easement at Franklin
and His Famous Speech Before
the Action There.

story of the threatened strike of the
chorus of tho Metropolitan when il

The mistake is frequently made of

supplied, and this can be obtained
only from proper food.

DRAINAGE WORK IS NOW DUE
Some Very important Suggestions for
Laying Out Plans Which viii
Bring Best Results.
tBy W. R.

The average life of the drains in
many soils is probably not more han
twenty-five years, and even If the
have become blocked by roots OF trees
or sinkage Of Individual pipes.
The point then to decide will be
whether to take up part Of the system
and relay. or commence an entirely
new one In the majority of cases 1t
will be found that 1t Is most satisfac-
tory to lay down an entirely new sys-
tenn and this is the course generally
adopted.
In laying out a new scheme Of tile
drainage the following are the main
points that will require Investigation
before the working plan a be pre-
pared OF the work commenced.
No rule Of thumb can be given, but
1t may be said that on the heavier
clays a distance apart of six yards
and an average depth Of two feet. nine
inches would be ample while on the
lighter sands and wet gravels 20 yards
apart and an average OF three feet,
three inches for depth would not be
too much. AS a general rule on me-
fum soils minor drains are set eleven
dunn soils minor drains are set eleven
Drains need not to be so near to-
gether on arabic Is In grass land.
Drains should be at ar average of six
inches deeper than the side drains.
Main drains should have a fall Of
not less than one in $50 or about 20
feet per mile. The actual position OF
minors with reference to the slope
has been the subject Of much discus
sion. but where the fall Is fairly good
they may be taken GRO the slope
and this is generally the most practi-
cable way.
The number OF square yards In an
acre (4.4sO) divided by the distance
apart of the minors will give the to-
tai length of side drains per acre.
This, II the side drains are II yards
apart, their total length on an acre of
ground will be 440 yards.
Choosing the positions for the out
falls is often by no e an easy
task. but 1t nay be taken as a prin-
ciple that the fewer outfalls there arc
the better, AZ each requires to be
cleaned out periodically, and II there
Is a multiplication of them one or
the other is certain to be overworked
some time. The outfall should be
placed as far above the water level of
the stream or ditch into which it
empties as circumstances will allow,
but If there is any chance Of flood
water backing up the drain. this must
be provided against by fastening an
hinged flap over the end Of the outfall
pipe.
In the selection Of tiles great care
should be taken for in this as in many
other things the strength OF a chain
is It's weakest link. and through the
flying" Of a main drain the greater
part of an entire drainage system may
be rendered comparatively useless.
