ture for Small Pieces.

During the last decade cement tile
have come to be used extensively for
drainage purposes. They have an ad-
vantage where fire clay is not obtain
able within a reasonable distance. The
mixture which is found most satisfac-
tory for smaller sizes is four parts
of clean, sharp sand to one Of cement.
For larger sizes, q slightly rich mix
ture is preferred. Cement tile should
be made Of a uniform, frst-class mix
ture, should be well cured and should
be dense. Such tile should be care
fully cured and If well made will last
indefinitely.
Where freight is an important item
the farmer should choose whatever he
can secure the cheapest, whether red
or cement tile. provided he can got
good, strong tile and get the breakage
refunded. Certain alkali salts cause
cement to deteriorate and In irrigat-
ed districts some precautions should
be taken to determine the character
Of alkali before cement tile can be
safely used.

nearly maintained in the rotation of
the MANFRED plots. A great differ
ence in the color of the soil Of the
two plots at the Missouri station
where corn had been grown continu-
ously both with and without manure
was much lighter in color and of
much poorer texture, thus showing
very clearly its lack of humus as CON-
pared with the one beside it. 1t must
not be understood from this that crop
rotation alone will maintain fertility,
but ii is the first essential, and the
rotation must include legume crops.
Legumes are humus-building crops,
because in order to put humus in the
soil, nitrogen is necessary, and these
plants secure it from the air. This
experiment shows clearly the ad-
vantages Of live stock farming in
maintaining soil fertility.
Upon the plot where farm manure

cash profit of so cents per bushel, of
$26.50 per acre.
In the second plot, where no ma

corn, wheat and clover, there was a
margin Of % bushels above the cost
of growing or a cash profit Of $13.
On the plot where corn was grown
