Few of the Pirates like the new rule which gives a batter who attempts to sacrifice, and who, after advancing the runner, lands safely on first, a hit. Heretofore it has been the law that when a batter attempted to lay one down and through slow work on the part of the felders, or for any other reason, both he and the runner from first to second were safe, the batter was charged with time at bat and wasn't credited with a hit. Tom my Leach's idea is that this rule will result in too much playing for aver ages. Tommy says that a batter will be sorely tempted to lay one down in the hope that the play will fail, know ing that he has several chances to es- cape being charged with a time at bat. For instance, if the bunt goes safe the batter gets a hit. If an error is made .'the play fails and still the batter escapes. If the play is made perfectly and the batter is retired after sacri- ficing his man he gets credit for a sacrifice hit This gives the batter all the best of the argument, accord ing to Leach's ontention.-Pittsburg Despatch.

BENEFITS or TILE DRAINAGE

benefits or TILE DRAINAGE.
@. G. Elliott. drainage expert Of the
department of agriculture, has sum
married. the benefits derived from tile
drainage in the following paragraph.
The reasons In favor Of thing given
are SO pertinent and plain that they
might well be committed to mem
ory by every farmer who has wet
acres that are fetching him In little or
no revenue: ~ In the land that IL
properly tiled the surface soil Is re-
tanned entire instead Of the finest and
most fertile parts being carried off
with every considerable rainfall. (2)
Any plant food in manure or other
fertilizer deposited upon the soil is
carried into it with the water as it
percolates downward from the sur
face, and 80 becomes thoroughly in
corporated with the soil. 3) Rain
water as ii passes through the soil
serves q most useful purpose by dis
solving and preparing crude soil mate
rial for the nutrition Of plants. a.
The soil having been well prepared, it
Is at all times during the growing sea-
son in readiness for the growth of
plants, such growth not being hinder
ed by stagnant water or saturation.
Cd The frost goes out earlier In the
spring, 20 that the planting season opens
one or two weeks earlier than in the
case Of soil affected by surface drains
only. (6l Where stiff clays are found
the soil is made more porous, open and
friable and roots penetrate more deep
~ than they do into surface drained
soils. @ The effects of drought are
diminished. as has been found by ex-
perience. owing to the enlarged and
deepened soil bed and to the more IA
vOrable condition Of the surface for
preventing excessive evaporation of
moisture. (Sl Ii aids in making new
