South Atlantic and Gulf states where
the annual rainfall is approximately
so inches, only about one-half the
area named above can be drained with
tile OF these sizes.
The proper depth for tile drains de-
ponds upon the soil and varies from
2 to 4 feet. In heavy silt loans and
clays the depth should be from
2 to 3 feet. In more open soils 1t
should be greater. The best dis
lance between laterals when common
farm crops are to be grown is deter
mined by much the same conditions
that determine the proper depth. In
close, retentive soils where the drains
are placed from 2 to 8 feet deep. the
laterals should be placed from 80
to so feet apart. In open soils
that give up water readily and where
the drains are 8 to 4 feet deep. the
laterals may be from so to $50 feet
apart. In very porous soils the spac-
ing may be even greater.
Unless 4 farmer has had consider.
able experience In drainage work and
knows how to run accurate levels 1t
will usually be advisable for him to
employ someone to assist in planning
and laying out the drainage system.
Tile should have q fall Of not less than
l inch to 100 feet II possible. and
greater fall than this Is very desir.
able. Where little fall car b. obtained.
particular care must be taken to Sc
cure 9 true grade and alignment for
the drain. II the land Is level. the
drain must be started deep at the
outlet in order to get the fall. II
the ground surface Is level for 1000
feet, a 2-inch fall to 100 feet can be
obtained by starting the drain s feet
deep at the outlet and running to J
feet 4 inches deep at the upper end.
The special tools commonly used In
constructing tile drains are tiline
spades, ordinary long.handled round
pointed shovels. a drain scoop. and Q
tile hook. There are several machines
for digging trenches which are profit
able on large projects. There are
also special plows and scoops which
are not expensive and may be used fol

PRUNING Deelduous Trees.

Do not be afraid to prune deciduous
trees and shrubs now. simply for the
reason that they are carrying green
leaves. It Is q good rule to prune the
shrubs Just as soon as they are past
blooming. Trees, however large, may
be probably pruned now, unless the
entire top is to be removed. Small
branches need no treatment subse-
ouent to pruning, but large cuts should
be treated with linseed oil, paint. as
phalt. tar or any protective substance
that will exclude air and form and
maintain a film over the wound. The
latter will then start to heal over tnis
season and the work be vigorously re-
newed In early spring.

the banks free from weeds. Tile
drains usually give more thorough
drainage. They occupy no land SUE
face, and do not interfere with farm
ing operations. II properly construct
ed they are practically permanent and
require almost no expenditure for
maintenance.
The farmer must decide the amount
of money that he can invest for drain
age. Usually 1t will be best to start
with that part Of the farm where the
profits from drainage will be greatest
and to extend the system as more
funds are available. Often the first
work must include a main or outlet for
the whole farm and, therefore. will
cost more per acre drained than fu-
ture work. II the drainage system
for the whole farm can BIO construct
ed at once the work a sometimes be
done at a little less cost than II 1t is
done a part at a time. However. the
plan of doing a part at a time has the
advantage Of permitting the farmer
to observe the results obtained and
In the following work to make any I'm
provements that may be found expe.
dent in the plan. 1t also permits the
farmer to est uate closely whether 1t
will be profitable to invest the money
necessary for completing the drainage
system.
On rolling lands, where only occa'
sional wet spots are to be drained. the
random system Zig. y is commonly
used. On level lands needing a-tif'
:ial drainage a uniform system figs.
2 and 81 must be planned that will pro-
vide drains for the entire area. The
most economical arrangement Of such
a system Is one which permits the
use of long laterals and requires the
shortest total length Of main drains,
The advantage of this arrangement ia
shown graphically by figures 2 and 8
in which the systems drain equal
areas. The cost of purchasing and put
ting In the tile is, however, consider
ably greater than for the system
shown in Fig. 2.
No hard and fast rule can be given
for determining the sizes Of tile to be
used. Drains should be large enough
to remove the surplus water before
the crops are injured, even after 9

is searching for fiat fish and other small fishes ON which these sharks feed.
In June a 14foot "basking" or bone shark" was taken at westhampton
beach, and Doctor Hussakof, the curator Of the department Of ichthyoogy
of the American Museum of Natural History, made q special trip to examine
the rare monster. The report of his observations gives g good idea of this
largest Of fishes.
The basking shark is a sluggish fish, reaching a length of nearly forty
feet. Its large mouth is not used in preying or other fishes, but in guphng
barrels of sea water from which the small animals art strained by the highly
developed gill rakers a habit resembling that of the whalebone whales; indeed,
the gill rahMs of the basking shark resemble whalebone, hence the name
"bone shark" by which 1t is sometimes known.
Again. in September a large tiger shark was captured of lsp. and its
head was later sent to the museum by Capt John C. Doxsee. The tiger shark
attains a length oftwenty or thirty feet, and is q wanderer from southern
waters, where 1t is greatly feared by the natives, who care very little for
ordinary ground sharks. The teeth Of this species ar unlike those OF any
other Of the sharks-broad, with obnque points, and a wavy, cutting edge
