Do Land Tile Serve as Underground
Reservoir?

In answer to a statement made by
me to the effect that the drainage of
swamps and low wet places helps to
increase destructive floods by running
out Immediately from such places the
water that nature has held there, one
drainage authority has replied: 'Ex-
perience also has shown that tile
makes the ground more spongy and
prevents the rapid run off of the sur
face water. 1t also seems that the tile
forms a sort of underground storage
reservoir which takes care of rather
large quantity of water Is this cor
rect? Kindly advice &C. w. d.
There is no question but what the
influence of tile, or any other system
Of drainage for that matter, is to les
sen the rate of run off water from the
drained land, which would be caused
by heavy downpour of rain. If the
ground is well saturated with water
the water coming in the form of a
new rain fall must run off the surface
or accumulate as standing water,
while if tile or other drainage has re-
moved the excess of soil water, the
soil is left in a condition to absorb
a considerable amount of new water
and thus prevent it's running off rapid
Iy. In this case it is the soil, not the
tile, which acts as reservoir.-A. R.

DANCER Of Overlooking.

Many farmers who never think of
giving their horses or COWS more
than the animals will eat up clean
will, when it comes to feeding the
pigs, give them more than they will
eat. OF course, overlooking is not
good feeding. A pig fed in this man
ner will soon lose his appetite and
thereafter it will not do its best. 4
safe rule in pig feeding is never t~
give more than the animals will eat
up clean and quickly. Feed will be
saved by this method of feeding and
not nearly so much risk will be
run,

Increase in 1918 Hunting Licenses.

That the number of resident game
licenses issued in 1913 will exceed the
number issued in 1912 by $4,000 is the
opinion of Chief Game Warden
Scholts, who said that already many
counties have found it necessary to
ask for more blank forms. The rec.
ord also shows that for the present
year the number of licenses granted
to non-residents for deer and small
game exceeds the record of last year
at the present time, although the rush
season for deer hunting licenses has
not yet arrived.

the cooperation of the United States

this summer have found that the best
results were obtained with the use OF
bordeaux mixture and pyrox in the
case of leaf blight, while dipping the
roots in mild solutions of corrosive
sublimate and formalin before plant
ing were found to render them less
subject to injury from root rot. Care
in preparing the soil before planting
was shown to be necessary, and small
tests with steaming pans used in ster'
liking the soil to depth of over two
feet were tried out. Although when
the roots reach the market in healthy
