tile. 1t is u good plan to use sewer
pipe for few feet back from the out
let as it is not so easily displaced by
freezing
Many drains are built with an out
let in q box at the side Of the road or
next to neighbor's 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 to
keep out small animals during dry
weather The bottom OF the box should
be at least foot below the tile. The
silt that settles here should he clean.
ed out occasionally A much better
plan than the nse 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.
1t rarely pays farmer to lay his
own tile. bu; he should keep close
watch of the men whom he hires to do
the work. A little carelessness in lay
ing the tile may make the drainage
system practically worthless. If at
any place the tile dips an inch below
the grade line, that inch will fill up
with silt. and the capacity Of the whole
system will be reduced that much.
The old saying that a chain Is no
stronger than it's 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 it is your money that Is paying
fer the 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-
actly to grade is to use targets. When
an engineer lays out line of the tile
he sets 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 it. 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 foul
feet the crossbar should be three feet
above the stake After number OF
these targets have been set 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 t.
hold the measuring stick and another
to scrape out the bottom OF the ditch
it can be dug to grade very accurately
OF course both digging the ditcl
and laying the tile should begin at thu
outlet. Don't let the men stand OF
the bank and lay the tile with hook
