EIGHT REASONS For UNDER.
DRAINAGE.

The advantages of underdrainage
are:
/. The surface soil is not washed
away and instead Of the finest parti'
Cles being carried oil by the water they
remain in the soil and are its most
valuable portion.
2. Plant food and manure which are
applied pass down through the sol be.
cone thoroughly mixed with the soil
and are held by the soil instead OF being
largely washed and leaChed away by
the waters passing over the surface.
3. The rain water passing down
through the soil serves to aid in the
prepal alton and solution Of plant foods
for feeding the crops.
4. The water falling on the land
quickly passes downward and is not lett
on the surface to prevent the growth
Of the crops on the land.
5. The soil becomes Gry and warm
earlier in the spring, the difference of,
ten being as much as two weeks.
8. Heavy soils become more porous
and the roots penetrate more deeply
and the soil is much more easily work
ed.
7. The bad effects Of drouth are les
sened because OF the better condition
OF the soil for preventing excessive
evaporation Of moisture.
8. Fhe effects Of the air in making
plant foods more readily available for
feeding the crops are inereased.-The
Progressive Farmer.
