'the steepness of the slope, and the type of ag griculture practiced; pasture or tilled crops. "Wet hillsides used as sheep pas- are sometimes called. "sheep-drains. These are merely shallow open ditches about 30 inches wide on top, nine inches wide on the bottom, ani 15 inches deep for removing the sur- the base of the hill. The remeveo earth should be thrown out on the lower side to form a sort of em- | bankment to the drain. The grade of the ditch should not be so steep as to give the water sufficient force to destroy the drain by either wash- ing away the banks or digging the drain itself deeper and thus making it dangerous for the sheep and lambs. Sub-drains are sometimes necessary. A system of terracing 18 quite universally used to prevent destruc- tive washouts on hillsides. The ter- races are made perfectly level and i of any width and then carefully seed- ed to grass. At the time of rain the water spreads out evenly over the surface of these and then flows gent- ly over the siope below witheut suffi- cient force to wash away any portion of the hill and thus prevents "gulleying." : 3 ~ For the drainage of tilled hillsides a-system of under-drainage is some-' times used successfully.
