STEWART, C. E. Aflri- ,"; 'cultural Engineer, University of Minnesota. T IS not ah uncommon thing for a landowner to fight a» drainage assess ment, on land which has a market value of from $20 to $30 per acre, and at almost the same time buy another tract of similar land, at the mar ket price. His desire is <b acquire more acres, under the false Idea that his prosperity will be Ae- Hoted by the amount of land in his possession. He does not realize that jjine acre of thoroughly-drained land S&ay bring him a greater income, with N|alf the labor and expense of cultiva tion, than two acres of the undrained land; or that It could be acquired at tine-third to one-half the cost of the HeWly-bought acre. This extra land 'Is purAased with the idea that land jtalues will rise. As the real value of fend is regulated by its Improvements find productiveness, the landowner •hose only object is (o acquire more •cres, rather than to improve the land ,Already In his possession, is an "un desirable citizen," as he expects to be |jjbe gainer through his neighbor's Im provements. ,f' The Idea Is" popular, especially *mong the owners of wet lands, that the removal of surplus water by drain age would be of great benefit to the state or community at large. While tins Is true to a certain extent, and wMle wet lands belonging to the pub- cost of only $61.90 against $129.72 per acre, paid for tillable land and In the original purchase. But this added value of $682.20 does not represent all the benefits which have come to the farm from the in troduction of underdrainage. The dis appearance of the sloughs, ang of the superfluous water in other places, per mits the division of the land Into reg ular, and therefore more easily cul tivated fields. Such fields, having now a uniform soil, can be eoltivated la less tSme, and crop rotations can be ar ranged to better advantage, than where the land Is broken up by non- cultivable areas. A dry, loose soli can be worked more easily than * a wet, sticky soil. . Furthermore, a field which in some seasons Is productive, and In others non-prodtictive by reason of excessive moisture, may be more detrimental TO the farmer's success than swamp land; for such lands are often plowed, planted, cultivated, and then the crop is destroyed by an Influx of water; whereby not only are they made non productive, but labor and seed are lost. Drainage not only removes the risk of such losses but improves the landscape by substituting broad, fully- cultivated areas for such as are dotted with sloughs, breeding frogs and mos quitoes and giving forth ill odors from dead fish and decaying vegetation. It Is a first step in good road-building, and, as a permanent improvement, it increases the value of all neighboring lands, and benefits the entire com munity. * All of these benefits are Illustrate NO ncr .

The correct id&a, In raising funds [ for drainage works. Is that the acre I more directly benefited Is the acre to pay the expense. Many landowners will s oppose a trainage Improvement7 for the reason lat the ditch will, in part, be located . on their land. They will do this, even i- In the face of the fact that from one- fourth to three-fourths of their land, Ijv because It Is too wet, produces only fc-f About half of what It should, In the i. ordinary year. They actually prefer \ to stand the yearly loss of half a crop • ' «r more, rather than allow one-fiftieth . to one-eightieth part of this wet land lb be occupied by a ditch which would eo thoroughly drain the whole tract that It could be cultivated up to the ,feanks of the ditch. ^ The benefits accruing from drainage '= iire well Illustrated In the Improve- ment of-a small farm, of 72.89 acres, 1 recently purchased by the state of Min- f f tkesota.

This left a tillable area of 59 acres, cost- ling the state $129.72 per acre.

In the case of the state farm referred to; and the management feels that they fully justify the cost* of the im provement, without considering the value of the land reclaimed.v The planning of< a drainage system should be done with the same careful ness that is bestowed on other im provements. When a large building is to be constructed, an architect Is con sulted, plans are carefully drawn, all the details are looked into, and mate rial Is selected which will be suitable for the location, the climate and the purpose for which the building should be used. During its construction, in spectors see that the details are car ried out and the requirements of the specifications enforced, regardless of the fact that the contractor may be losing money and cheuper materials might be used. .But In drainage en-' terprises, the evidences of such car# are too often painfully lacking, even though the cost be as great or greater than that of a* large building. In many cases an engineer is employed to stake out a drain on a route which has been selected only because it is "supposed to be" the best one. No examination Is made for another route or outlet; the area of the watershed Is not measured. As a result, the size of the ditch Is determined by a mere guess. Time may develop the fact that the best route was not se lected, and that the ditch was too large or too small, and consequently does not perform the work satisfactorily. A ditch, being Improperly located, either does not drain all the land it should or It Is expensive tq construct and maintain. One that is too large will not clean Itself properly; while one that is too small will not carry re quired volume of water. A drainage system, open or under ground. works by gravity, and that it may temove the water there must be a suflicient fall; that is, a sutlicient and continuous descent, from a level somewhat lower than the lowest point on the land to be drained,' to the point where the water is discharged from the outlet. It Is a common practice to 8{art a drainage ditch from a slough at practically the same depth as the bottom of the slough. Such "drain age" will not give satisfaction, as the ground-water will not be lowered, and the bed of the slough will continue to be swampy. For satisfactory drain age, the water-channel must be deep enough in the lowest land, and of suf ficient breadth and depth, to carry the water without an overflow. Ditch-construction, like carpentry or masonry, Is a business In itself; and for satisfactory results, contracts should be let In similar manner, The bidder's competence, as shown in his record In connection with similar un dertakings, should be taken into con sideration as well as the size of his bid. » , , ...

While the mule will continue to be the standard draft animal In the South, a gradual substitution of heavjr' borees on the farms is going on. wettest and most difficult to handle, and it is necessary that construction be carried on during the wettest sea sons. Consequently, the contractor should base his calculations as to time and methods on the worst conditions. To let a contract to the "lowest bid der," regardless of his experience or equipment, is often to Invite serious disappointment and loap. Delays, especially, are expensive to landowners, for not only is money in vested in incomplete work, but often times a failure to have the ditch com plete at the time fixed means the loss of a crop In the drainage' of swamp land, which cannot be flowed until after the work is completed, it means a delay of one or more years before the cultivation will be a paying invest ment. With scarcely an exception, where losses have accrued to agricul tural Interests through the delay of «a year in the construction of proposed drainage works, these losses have been greater than the cost of the Improve ments. The attempt to save one or two cents on the cubic yard f3r ditch ing, or on the 'rod for tile trenches, by giving the Job to a poorly-equipped man, often becomes an expensive pro ceeding. Better pay more to a com petent man. and be syre of, a good job, completed "on time." The kind, size and completeness of the drainage works needed in a given locality, the methods of doing the work and adjusting the costs, must be de termined by the local conditions. What is good practice in one place may not be> practical in another. The char acter of the ground, surface slopes, crops raised, and value of land, all have a bearing on the subject, in any locality the first consideration is an outl^ or channel by which the wa ter may be carried away. In some localities nature has provided such an outlet. In others. It may lte necessary for several landowners to band togeth er and construct a channel, of suf ficient size and depth to serve as the main outlet of a network of ditches which will give relief during wet years. In many parts of the stute, where such outlets, naturally exist or are already completed, crops have suf fered from an excess of water In the Immediate vicinity, for the reason that the water from the cultivated fields could not readily escape. Consequent ly, for complete drainage, it is neces sary to have, on the individual farm, a thorough system for collecting the water as it falls and carrying It to the main outlet. Unless the ground is very flat, the location of proposed drains can be best detecmlned when the ground is free from vegetable growths. A heavy growth of crops or weeds may cause low places to look high and high places low. A field freshly plowed or sown Is In the best condition for locating lines of drainage. If such a field Is examined immediately after a heavy rain, there will be little danger of making a.mistake lp locating the,lines. If theso'ar# nt Once marked out hy' a ^4 , » Y • furrow or stakes, it will save much time when It is desired to begin lay ing 'tiles. Any drainage system should he planned with reference both to th»* work It Is to perforin and to Its future maintenance. Expense Should not oe spared in securing accurate data on which to bape the plan. 3^ Is well to maintain the shallow open-ditch system, in use before the tile are laid. These surface-drains, as sist in qxtickly clearing the land of water front heavy ruins, In amounts for which it would not be economical to provide tile of sufficient size to do the work so quickly. In Minnesota, spring floods are often carried off by the surface drains before the frost Is out sufficiently to permit tile-drains to work. Time spent in opening sur- A FARM PROFITABLY TILED On this 80-acre field three systems of tile drainage were necessary. This shows the advantage with which two neighbors can co-operate in putting in a tine of tile. An obstacle so trivial as a line fence should not oe permitted to prevent economical drainage. The owner of this iand says that tile pays for itself every year and that $200 expended on tile has raised the value of the 80 acres $1,000. . face-drains to not, therefore, lost, even when it is intended to later introduce an underdrainage system. The individual farmer with small means should first select the area the tiling of which will drain the most land at the least expense. In a rolling country, where suflicient fall can be had for outlets near the -surface, or without expensive open ditches, small tiles can be used around the sides of drainage areas out letting on a hillside or at the edge of a slough. This method often Improves large tracts at small cost* and as the improved lands Increase In productiveness, funds will be supplied by which the tile lines can be extended, connected, and the expensive mains finally put in* This method has been used in many of the best tiled countries. In some instances it has been twenty years from the lay lng of the first laterals to the comple tion of (lie last main. Immediately after construction, pro vision should be made for annual maintenance. A drainage improve ment, properly carried out and main tained, will add its Initial cost to the vplue of the land and pay a dividend on the origihai investment. SQfnOft DIAGRAM OF LINE OF LEVELS.

There Is a peculiar pleasure ln fctrtV- lng to remember something of bookp Uijoyed years ago and never read again. It happened with us, and may with most people, that in many in stances one or two scenes, one or two gestures, starting out of a sort of fog, stand for the whole book. There are numerous* fogs and each one has its own quality. All that is left to us of "Mob Roy," Don Marquis writes In the New York Sun. its a woman with a broadsword in her hand who stands upon a rocky way that overhangs a lake and screams forth sr vehement command. Someone, we believe, is about to be cast over the precipice at this furious lady's order. The earth round about is reddish Mown and overhead the clouds are moving, rapidly. "Bleak House" is a woman who clings to an iron gate and peers through Its bars. And we have also some faint rec ollection of an echo that was like the footstep of a sentinel ghost. The fog from whjch emerges the woman at the iron gate is more than'fog; it is a black vapor--Inky black. We cannot see the heroine of "Lorna Doone" at all, but we still know how John Ridd felt when he all but drowned In a swirling, icy pool; we can still see him as he bends over and trie® to catch little fish with his fingers in the cold brook Just before he falls into the pool. The pale glitter of a faint sun upon shaken dfrops of water and a sense of much snow and rain generally are our only other Impressions of the book. "Tom Sawyer" Is a boy groping and fearing In a cave; of Tom's humorous pranks we remember nothing. "Huckle- bery Finn" we almost know by heart, but then we have read it a dozen times. In "Tollers of the Sea," where the man is seized by the devilfish as he himself is hunting crabs to eat, Hugo elaborately builds up a scene which Is the epitome of the whole tremendous book and the 'symbol of the gaunt eter* nal struggle between man and nature (animate and Inanimate) which the book dramatizes. • And yet, for all Hu go's craft and power, Yhat scene thrills us less--speaks less stirringly to our blood and n«H>-es--than ' one incident of far less significance in the same vol* unie. This Incident, which' stirs ns more, deals merely with the murder of ,a guard on the edge of a cliff that over looks the sea. It is a thing that In no wise touches the moral bones of the story; It Is not essential to the struc ture of the tale as a tale; another de vice might have been used if Hugo had not evidently fancied this one for his own sake. But it gets itself remem bered.
