AiJOUT DRAINAGE.
A Few Suggestions for the Consideration
of Progressive Farmers.
Farmers, w hat kind of work are you
doing in the line of ditching? Doing
just as little as you possibly can get
along with, and half doing that?
Some pretended farmers will draw the
water off of a low piece of ground
with a plow furrow, every sprang,
prior to plowing it, and think they hare
done all that is necessary to render it
lit for tilling. The result is a surface
of clods, hard as marbles, to greet tho
cultivator or shovel plow during the
summer. Now such work Is worse
than disgusting to Farmer Slick.
Let mo offer a few suggestions for
3*our consideration, and if yon follow
my advice, at the end of two years
just publish your experience and let us
see if you are not satisfied w ith it
The first thing you don't want to do,
is to begin constructing tile drains over
your farm and then look after the main
outlets afterward. Why? Because
nine times out of ten, your tile at some
time or other must, of necessity, be
taken up and relaid,.from the fact that
your outlet was insufficient at the be
ginning; and second, that the tile was
not laid deep enough to afford a pfbper
drainage at any distance from it. The
first thing to do is to look to the secur
ity of proper outlets far all the branch
tile or open drains, even though you
are of necessity compelled to go on the
farm of a neighbor and do a week’s
work to secure what you want. Don’t
be afraid that you will do your neigh
bor Bome benefit wrrtkoht expense to
himself, by your so doing; neither bo
foolish enough to think there is any
law that will compel him to make a
ditch up to your line of fence for tho
sole purposo of giving you an outlet.
This erroneous opinion only exists in
neighborhoods where there have been
few or no public ditches constructed.
The writer has been asked the ques
tion if the land owner “below is not
compelled to give the one above an
outlet,” but as a general thing the
question is put by some close-listed in
dividual who lives only for himself,
has no eye to improvement, and would
have his neighbor dig the ditch to the
line, and then the close-fisted individu
al aforesaid would in all probability
never shove a spade into the ground.
So we say, don’t be afraid to do your
neighbor good as long as you can get
value received, and be assured no ono
will be the loser save the one who be
littles himself in his own eyes by not
joining with you in the work if it is to
his own benefit as well as yours. This
kind of work in many cases would save
the expense connected with county or
township ditches. So I repeat it again,
look after and construct the main out
lets first, and be sure you get them
deep enough and not too wide at tho
bottom —the width is needed at tho
top.
And another thing don't do, and that
is, give little or no flare to the banks
of an open ditch, for just as sure as
you do, next sprhig will find your ditch
partly filled, and thus endanger or en
tirely obstruct tho outlet of the tile
drains that may enter it In ordinary
clay ground the slope should not be
less than 1 to 1, or as much as 1J base
to 1 vertical, or in other words for
every foot depth cut, the banks should
recede from one foot to 18 inches. In
looser soil the flare should not be less
than U base to 1 vertieal. For ordin
ary ditches the bottom need not bo
more than a “spade?* in width. It is
a mistake to make ditches with wide
bottoms unless they approach the mag
nitude of creeks. A narrow bottom
while the water is low, and a wide top
when the water is high, are the things
needed.
Another thing you don't want to do
and that is to construct the main ditches
as crooked as a “ram’s horn” in order
to keep the ditch in the low ground,
when cutting through a small bank and
locating the ditch m new ground would
make it straighter and thus afford a
better fall and less friction for the
water, and subsequently in wet weather
the high water is gone before you know
it. Farmers rage because ditches are
not large enough to carry the water,
when in a large majority of the cases
it is because the ditch is too crooked
to allow the .water flowing therein to
acquiro any momentum, or velocity,
and consequently can not get away.
Avoid a square turn in a ditch, or any
thing that approaches it Construct
what few angles you are obliged to make
with long easy curves, and if compelled
to change the course ninety degrees all
at once, begin at least six rods back to
make the curve. Lay oat the position
and course of your ditch with as few
turns as can possibly be made, and do
the work with an eye to improvement
and with the ingenuity of a mechanic,*
and not with the awkwardness and in
dolence of a sloven or sluggard.
Too much ditching is done with an
eye single to getting a ditch with tho
least work possible. Ditching means
not only “pull off your coat, boys,’*
but it means head work as well. Tho
idea “that a man who don't know any
thing knows enough to
mistake. Ditching requires mechanism
and skill, as well as throwing mad.
Now for the depth. Circumstances
must govern this point. Do you want
to intersect it with open branch ditches,
then 8} feet on an average is deep
enough; but if you are making the
ditch to accommodate tile drains, then
it should be no less than 4 or 5 feet in
depth.— Cor. Ohio Forintr.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
—The taste of animals for prickly
eomfrey Is not natural, but acquired.
It takes a horse as long to acquire an
appetite for it as it does for a man to
like tobacco, olives or bitter ale.— Troy
Times.
—lf the universal com ration was
varied with more sugar beets and other
roots there would doubtless be less
“hog -cholera,” “dry murrain” and
other diseases of farm atock. — Prairie
Fanner.
—Examine the curbstones about
your wells and see if there are any holes
whero toads can get in, and if you find
any stop them up; toads are very use
ful in their place, but the bottom of a
well is a poor place for them.
—As a rule farm buildings, Including
more particularly the barn, are not
situated as conveniently as they should
bo. Years ago, when labor was com
paratively cheap, the necessity of sav
ing steps in going to and from the barn
and other outbuildings was not nearly
as great as it now is.— Western Rural.
—Potatoes are ready for digging as
soon as the tops die down. It is best
to dig them early in the day and allow
them to remain on the ground a few
hours, when they should be taken to
the barn and stored in a cool, dark,
dry place; but it is not advisable to
place too many in a single heap.—
N. E. Farmer.
—The more cattle there are well
kept upon a farm, the more manure;
the more manure thero is applied, the
greater the product and the profit, and
the greater the means of sustaining
an increased stock of animals upon it.
All of these advantages are increased
when root crops are made to enter
largely into the system of culture.—
Toledo Blade.
—A Maryland farmer proposes
to grow wheat year after year on the
same land without plowing. His plan
Is to sow two hundred pounds of bone
meal per acre, sell the straw to the pa
per mills, and expend the money ob
tained for it in bone meal. After har
vest burn the stubble to kill weeds and
get rid of rubbish. Then harrow re
peatedly, sow the bone meal and seed,
and so continue year after year.
—Groom the horses outside the sta
bles. The horse is rather fastidious,
and detects any bad odor or any filth
about bis food. He is not apt to relish
bis hay and oats if the manure, etc.,
from his body, removed and converted
into dust by the comb and brush, has
settled in the feed trough. Besides,
part of the matter removed from his
body is the dead matter thrown off' by
the glands, and taking this into tho
stomach and lungs, as he will be com
pelled to do if the grooming is done in
tfie stables, will poison his blood.
Groom thoroughly. —Boston Herald.
PURCHASING FEED.
Brief Consideration of Three Questions o t
Utmost Importance to Farmers.
Will it pay to buy feed for stock? Is
it the best policy to feed only what can
be produced on the farm? If nothing
for feed is purchased, can the fertility
of the farm be kept up by simply re*
turning to the soil the immure made
from the feed raised on it?
These are three pertinent and im
portant questions. Let us briefly con
sider them. Will it pay to buy leed for
stook? The answer to this may depend
a good deal upon the condition of the
farm. If It is run down asd needs
renovating, either food must bo pur
chased far stock and the manure made
from it put on the land, or fertilizers
must be bought and applied to the soil.
Recuperation can not be secured in any
other known way. With artifteal fer
tilizers, perhaps favorable results may
be the more immediately realized, bat
we suspect it is the more expensive
method of renovation. By purchasing
rich foods, they may bo fed to stock,
giving a Urst and paying result, while
the manure made from them will be
nearly or quite equal in va’ne to the
cost of the feed. Rich food makes rich
manure, and rieh manure makes rich
soil, from which rieh crops may be
grown. In this way, two benefits, if
not two profits, arise from buying food
for stock.
Is it the best policy to feed only
what is grown on the farm? If the soil
is prolific, it is not the best policy, for
it will not produce enough to keep the
requisite amount of stock for the most
profitable farming. If it is pro
ductive, and every item of refuse an
imal and vegetable product is saved
and returned to the soli, profitable
farming may be realized. There are
farmers who claim to have improved
the fertility of their farms by this
method rif farming, but wo doubt if tfce
fertility of the soil can be long kept up
without resorting to soiling or fbo
turning under of clover and other green
crops.
This is a partial answer to the third
question, and seems to indicate that
the fertility of the soil can be kept up
while not buying feed, but feeding on
the farm all .that grows on It. In a
strictly philosophical sense, this is im
possible, for something does not come
from nothing, and whatever is sold off
from the farm must correspondingly
reduce it* fertility. It takes away im
portant elements in meat, milk, butter,
cheese, wool, grain, fruit, etc., and un
less those are in some way returned, in
time the fertility of the soil must be
come exhausted. Can these fertilizing
elements be drawn from nature? Can
the nitrogen, as well as the carbon, be
drawn from tho atmosphere by grow
ing soiling crops, and manuri&l crops,
like clover? If so, whence are the
minerals to come—the potash, tho
phosphorous, the lime and tho less im
portant elements? We confess we do
not see. Possibly there are enough of
them in most soils for ages. It would
seem that wild nature had a method
of making productive soils out of bax
ren ones, but she takes her own time
for it Can man successfully copy and
fellow nature. National Live Stock
