Importance, in Every Sense, of the Industry which Thoy Represont. The Questions Disoussed Yesterday-— Address by the Governor-—The State Geologist, Spectal Dispateh to The Tridune. Invraxarorts, Nov. 31.—The tile inaustry of Tndiana and Iitinofs Is fast assuming fmmense proportions, if ft is true, and our otvn experi- ence goes far to prove the fact, that In Central linofs and Indisns we have been and slways will besabjected to an unusual ratufall in the spring and summer, The fallure of crops for yoars has brought this question of drainage so prominently boforo our peoplo that twe are forced to do something, or all our labors of sears will hava been lost. The only thing wo cAn do s to bring tho braly and muscle to bear in the shape-of a comprcheusivo system of tile-drain- age. It s estimated that, In the State of In. diang, there arc mors than 500 tile-factories. They work six montus in the year and turn out 20,000 pleces to a klin, and twelve kilos fo & scason. In somie countles thero are as high as twenty factorfes. 1s it any wonder that an in- dustry of this magoltude has called together representative men from all parts of the North- west! TNE CONVENTION resumed {te work this morning {n the rooms of the State Board of Agriculture, which were crowded with the tilc-mnkers. Instead of spend- fog the time in almlcss discuasion, n well-di- gested programme had been previously ar- ranged, and direet discussion commonced. First, *In there a more convenfent plan of havdliog and drying small round tile than in bourds and rucks?” This question was dle- cussed in a most thorough manner, and brought ont a vast amount of usciul Information on this very important question, A high compltment was pald to the Whitohall Fire-Ulay Works of Iliinois by tho statement that thelr works, their tile, and thelr manoer of handling was tho best in tho world, The mafority of thoss who took part in the discussion were tnable to probose or offer any better plan for dryluz than mpon boards and racks, vot the fact came out that emailtilacan be profitably and safely dried by putting them on the ground. . *[s asmooth tile better than a rough one, other things betng equali” It was decided that a reasonably smooth tila was the best. s o porous tlle better than a non-poroust’ “Xifty years of oxperience," sald MR. JAMES WATKINS, OF MICIHIOAN, “tolls e that a porous tile is what we need, They atand tho frost better. I made millions in the old country, audwe always used theporous.” *1s nu open or 8 crown kiln tho besti" A cat deal depends upon tho bottom of the filn und the kind of arches, With a crown kiln youarcuble tocontrol tho heat better, Mr. Kemy, ho has traveled all over tho United States nnd tho Canadaos, indorsed the oplnfon that crown kilns are tho best when they arc of sulliclent size to incet the wants of trade. At this stage of the Convention GOV, WILLIAMS, OF INDIANA, ‘was {ntroduced, The Governor madoa few re- marks., Hohad somo experience In dralning wet lands. lo was rmpnn.»d to say that it wonld pay to sct every idls man in tho Btate to work dizgiog ditches, and keep them st work for tho next flve years, Weneed iarge open ditches, 1le wislied he had done moro draintug on his farm, To was pleased to seq this indus- try growiog so rapldly, The Governor's re- marks wure more i search of knowledze than {or the purposc of enlightening tho Counvention with ls own oxpericuce, which we judeed had been rather limited, and, when ho spoke of wooden dralus, wo rather thought he patd o poor compiiment to tho tntelligence of his audi- ence. * Which {s tho best—an up-draft or a down, droft]” Mr, Postle had been intha tllo busy nees filteen yeara, ana was in (avor of down. draft, snd burned nino cords of wood, and burned 1,000 yards. Ho now lost uut moro than a wheelbarrow-load ot tile, when, with the down<lraft, bo loat waton-londs, Mr. Kliin- geusmith, with tho down-draft, saved six cords of wood on each burning. PROY, COX, SFATE GEOLOGIST, also addressed the Cooventlon. o was greatly gratified with tho deep Interest tha people of Indiana were glvinz to the question of tile dralnage. 1le remumbered the time when thera was not a single tilo manutactory fn Iudiane, and that now It hsd grown to one of the largest indusiries of tho State, e axplalned to the comyrchension of his lcarers the chemical changes which take place in burning cluy, nnd why it changes color. In answer to tho question, * How long will tile Jasti" he sald, “Forever, The polut is not half as nuch with the tilo a3 bow we put it down," “What is the cheapest power, norses or stean? Oue manufucturer had used blind horses. They were pretty cheap power, but be preferred steam, The burden of facts were, If you wishod to burn only from 85,000 to $7,0000 aseason, bllud horses were the best, but, for any greater amount, steam was the cheapest, This question was deemed of such {mportance that it wau not dispused of, and further discussion was postponed Al tho next meeting. 'flne Frealdent of toe Tilo Couvention then s & TIE DRAYT OF AN ACT to enablo owuers of wetlund to draln and ro- claln them, when the same cannot be dono with- out prescribing the powers and dutics of County Boards and other officers ln the premiscs, nod to provida for the repair of such draln, This report is full of just such machinery as wo need o ¢nable us to carry out the Dralnage Iaw, na vassed in lilinals, ‘The Cominittee who wera apoolnted to report on the trial of tlu-ditchlog nachines ab the meetiug of the State Falr reported that there were tour large machines eotered for compett- tion. It was the opinion of the Committeo that neither of the machines, as oxhibited. wero practical. and, thorefore, do not fuitill the ro- quiremcut of the resolution. ‘Thoy therefore recounmend that no premium bo awurded.
