Much Money Wasted in Construc.

Closed Water Course, II Properly In.
stalled. Requires Very Little At.
tention as Far as Maintenance
10 Concerned.

By T.. Il. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort CollinsD
Many farmers are laboring under
the mistaken notion that u closed
drain Is much more expensive than an
open drain, and are therefore wasting
money In the construction of many
small open drains. The fact of the
matter Is, that In the majority of
cases. especially where tile less than
one foot in diameter Is required. the
closed drain Is the cheapest. The
slope Of the banks of an open drain
should not be less than l to |, and
the drain should be In most cases,
for Irregular lands. ut least 4h or
3 feet deep. Figuring an open drain
Of this size and comparing the cost of
the same with II l0-inch tile drain, we
find that they are just about equal.
The cost Of the construction. how
ever, is not the only thing to be taken
into consideration, but the main
tenance of the system Is also of great
Importance. In the case of the Open
drain we have conditions exactly right
for the rank growth of vegetation,
and the open drain continually needs
attention. The cost of maintenance
therefore Is high. The closed. tie
drain, on the other hand. IL properly
Installed, requires very little attention
as far as maintenance IL concern, d,
and In the end is cheaper than the
| open drain.
Open drains have their place and
serve their purpose well when prop
| erly used, but they should be CON
structed for outlets of larger drain
| systems where tile would be out Of
the question on account of the large
size necessary. They are, however.
entirely out of place when constructed
as lateral drains for individual
| farms.

SCOTCH CITY HAS SIDE LINE
Glasgow Reports Gratifying Success
Of Its Municipal Agriculture
Lesson for America.

The individual efforts of many n
city man to convert himself into II far
mer may perhaps remain subject Of
occasional Jest, but Glasgow. In Scot
land, has shown the world that n city,
as II city, may take up farming enter
prise and come OF with the smile quite
neatly turned tother way about. BY
the reports just returned to Iiasgow's
lord provost, the municipality has nc-
crued round $1,000 oc profit from the
products of its farming.
II all began In 1879. At that time 1t
was found that the city refuse destruc-
tor was becoming less and less ade-
qunte to deal with the ever-lncreasing
volume OF the city's refuse-the ashes
from It's furnaces and pots from its
households, the paper from the streets
and all this manner of collectible ma
terial.
So n tract of bogland was taken ON
u lease and turned over to the uses
Of the cleansing department. The ex-
pertinent of filling In these lands
proved SO successful that more terri
tory was taken in 1891 and later at IA
combined cost Of about 100000. The
soil was "cold and uncongenlal," says
the Glasgow Herald, but its handicaps
have been gradually ncutralized by the
work of the department and by the en-
richment of the land.
According to the report of Glasgow's
farming, "thc produce grown includes
oats. wheat. barley. potatoes, turnips,
hny and grass, and the total amount
reaped during last season is valued at
fl0.306, thus sum being exclusive of
produce sold, which realized f2,72S.
The present hay crop is so abundant
that after the needs of the depart
mcnt's stud of horses are met, 1t Is
SO abundant that there will be IA sur
plus for sale of about 800 tons"
Surely such Il record rs this should
counsel American cities to see what
they can do after Glasgow's example.
