'M M "rth DRAINAGE.” @tutumn‘or Spring Workâ€"The Advan- tages of the Former. Conditions have a great deal to do in :enabling one to solve the problem of “(tile drainage. Where the fall is not great it frequently happens that gum- bo .land is too wet to tile out in the :spring, and because of this such land “can usually be drained during the summer or fall months. On the other hand, there are soils that are just a little too dry in the fall, not furnish- ing enough water to guide the work- man in regulating the fall, so that in this case spring tiling might be done :more satisfactorily than it could be- done in the fall. However, when it comes right down to scientific tiling ‘there is little need of having water in the soil for the purpose of making 'the fall right, as it usually pays where land is nearly level to put on an instru- ment and dig drains according to rule. We appreciate the fact that this is ' contrary to the notions held by many persons who have had experience in digging ditches, but nevertheless it complies exactly with the view of all engineers. A Good Thing That Lasts. it so happens that; We are putting a few carioads of tile on our own farm 'this fallâ€"October and November. ' ‘Some of the drains will have to be ‘put on land that has always been. a little wet for farming purposes, and 'as soon as the drains are down this fall the plow will be put in and the land partly prepared for a spring crop. \R’e find that there is a little more time to do this kind of Work in the fall titan there is in the spring, and where land is very soggy it quickly dries out sufficiently, if it is properly tiled, so that it may be plowed in the fall, thus again lessening labor in the spring. 115 oneican obtain the use of his drains for a month or two in the fall the ten: dency is to make the soil just a little more porous, and as a result of this the drains will act somewhat more “freely in the spring than if they were newly put down. Unlike almost every- thing else on the farm, a good tile drain becomes more useful with age, had the sooner it is in the sooner will the owner of such land be benefited. not only by its immediate action, but by the increased value that comes ‘Tt‘rom its effect in making a soil more porousâ€"Iowa _ Hopiestgad. ,.

Take three pieces of thin board, say two or three inches wide, two of them about seven feet long, one for cross‘ bar of triangle near five feet long, nailed across two and a half feet from base parallel to the points of the tri- L CHEAP LEVEL. angle. Hang a plummet and line from the top to just below the crossbar. Get the centre on the crossbar by rever- sing the triangle and make a groove or fine cut in the crossbar for the cen- tre, so there will be no mistake. Raise one end of the triangle one-halt an- inch, make a fine mark where the plumb line then hangs. That will show a grade of one inch to the rod where the points of the triangle are eight feet three inches apart. For a grade of two inches to rod raise one end an - inch. A spirit level glass imbedded in the top edge of the crossbar at the centre will be handy to have when the wind blows too much for the plumb line, says Ohio Farmer in describing this level. To ascertain the fall or average grade of a drain place the triangle on the surface of the ground at outlet of proposed drain, sight lengthwise on the crossbar to an object two and a half feet from the ground at the upper end of the drain. Where the plumb line hangs on the crossbar will show. the grade “regardless , of distance. *u...q...â€". Building Up a Beef Herd. It is important to have cattle of good individual quality and to have this backed up by good pedigrees. But it is equally important that their envi- ronment 'be right, writes a New York farmer in American Agriculturist A farm that is naturally poor and grows poor crops can only develop stock of poor quality. I am positive of this. The farm on which my cattle are kept is considered one of the best in the county and is not getting any poorer lilact‘s. They will convert weeds into l With the large amount 0f manure my 1 stock make. It is not what could be called high ground, but almost level and well drained.
