A Drainage Ditch Used to Lower the

When Damned Il VIII Raise the
Water Table In the Adjoining
Marsh, Producing subIrrIsatlon. :,
When they occur in considerable areas
they are more easily cleared than cut.
over timber land. and being free from
stone. can be brought under cultiva.
ton at much less expense than the
upland soils. even though drainage is
necessary.
The first step In the development Of
any marsh land Is to drain 1t. In the
case Of large areas this will require
the construction Of large main bitches,
requiring the use Of dredge. and co.
operation among the adjoining owners
either by organizing a drainage dis.
trict or by having the town or county
officers take charge Of the work. In
the case Of smaller areas this can
frequently be done by mutual agree.
ment between two or three adjoining
owners.
Two kinds Of drainage must be pro.
vided for; first. surface drainage. and
second, subsurface drainage. It is oc.
casionally true that the construction
OF bitches around the edge Of a marsh
tract In such a way as to carry of
most OF the water from the surround.
Ing higher land without letting 1t onto
the marsh will reduce the wetness Of
the marsh land to such an extent that
crops can be grown without further
ditching. Ordinarily. however, bitches
on the marsh itself are necessary,

The amount Of wood used on the
farms Of the country and exposed to
rapid decay is enormous. 1t is esti-
mated that one million fence posts and
rails. the equivalent Of six billion
board feet, are required each year.
For this class Of material durability
Is the first requisite. The naturally
durable woods were formerly plenti-
full over large areas, but in many Sec
tions they have now become too
scarce and dear to use. There re-
mains, however. an abundance Of in.
ferior woods which, when preserved
from decay, are entirely satisfactory
substitutes.
Decay consists in the destruction OF
the wood tissues by low forms Of plant
life. These organisms We term fungi.

GOOD RATION FOR FATTENINo
Problem 10 Important One and Of varL
Gus Feeds Corn 10 Best single
Grain to Be Fed.

The question Of ration for sheep at
mis- time OF the year is an important
,ne. All of the various farm grains
have been used with more or less sue
less. Corn easily heads the list as
he best single grain for fattening
lambs. 1t Is especially desirable be-
cause 1t causes the lambs to put on
TAT rapidly and does not stimuate too
much growth as In the case with many
forms OF concentrated feeds. Barley
has also been used to very good ad-
vantage. 1t is about on a par with
corn fed from the standpoint of rap
ldity and economy or gains. but lacks
same In palatability. Wheat and
wheat screenings have both been used
TO fatten lambs. The feed has too
much tendency to cause the lambs to
grow rather than fatten. When COM
bined with an equal amount Of corn
the lambs put on fat much more rap
idly Oats is useful feed, but, like
wheat, is more liable to induce growth
than fattening. 1t should be mixed
with corn for best results. Oilmeal,
-cottonseed meal and gluten feed have
all been used In conjunction with corn
rations to good advantage Not more
than one-half pound OF either oilmeai
or cottonseed meal should be fed a
lamb Weighing from 80 to 90 pounds.
While wheat bran itself is not helpful
IN putting on fat, 1t is one OF the best
Feeding stuffs available to use in con.
junction with corn or other feeds in
getting lambs on full feed. It furnishes
Dulk. thus prevents the greedy ones
from getting too much Concentrates
and also acts as regulator Of the
digestive system.
