THE DANNER WHEAT chor OF oro. My third expertence in draining was.onna jarger scale, and I was led to lt by repeated failure of crops from overwetness of the ground, ‘The field in which my houso stands contains sixteen acres, ineludin house, garden, ete. It isn fine rolling tan with good fall forsurface-drainage in, several directions, and is one of the Inst felis you would say needed underdraining. In 1876 Lhad eleven neres of it In: potatocs, which were shmply ruined by excess of wet. They diced of consumption caused by cold and wet fect. linmense raing after planting mado mud of the entire field. Then the ground baked into a hard mass and the potatoes could only grow on the back furrows and under the young apple troes, where the highnessof the ground and tho growth of the trees kept the ground dryer and prevented its baking, Thiy almost tofal faflure and several partial ones provi- ous. prompted me to tile-drain eleven acres of the field, This work was done In three weeks in November and three weeks more the next April. ‘Thetiles were laid two anda nalt fect deep (three feet would have been bet ter), and the drains two rods apart.. The total cont $23 per acre. ‘The ground was cry and hard when the ditching was finished, and it plowed up In huge compact Jumps, which did not pulverize fully in working, and which prevented the proper germination and growthof the Hungarian grass) which was sown. In August the crop of Hungar- ian (mostly “ barn-grass”) was mowed and the land plowed for wheat. Tumitted to say thatthe ground was inanured, Flowing in twelve loads Aer acre before the Iungarian was sown. Tho heavy and frequent rains durlng thesummer made the drains dis- charge freely, and completely pulverized tho Jumps, and the land plowed up beautifully for wheat. ‘The yleld of whent, as most of you know, was forty-six and a half bushels per acre; machine measure, the Jand bein: measured carefully. The best threo acres of the fleld were cut separately and. yielded aixty-one bushels per acre, Bear-in mind that Thad just had_ two almost total fallures on this very fleld—one of potatoes and ono of Hungarian grass; for, though the Inter was sown’ after tha draining was done, the cloddy conilition of the ground, which the drains as yet had not tims to change, was no doubt the cause of thovallure. ere, then, it is clear the tts rst wheat crop paid in gross m n twice tho entire cost of draining the field. “Does tile-dratnuge pay ?” GREAT.

Bealdes the cash received for the wheat, there was straw enough when judtelously utilized to make as much mantre os had been put on the field. ‘There wasalso theto- markably fine growth of an orchard of Le la trees just coming to bearing and largely nefited by the draining, There was the fino catch of clover, which hag already this year furnished two heavy crops, and bids air to necd cutting a third tlme before win- ter.

Let me gives bit of history of this ficld. ‘Tho twonty-five acres I am about Gralning twenty-two months ago was the roughest and most barren pnsturo I had. Ido not be- lieve it would have yielded ine two dollars’ worth of grass per nere per Re, a8 pasture at present prices of milk, Two years ago next October I commenced be tackling | this pasture, =I rat changed fences so as to throw it in with a fif- teen-acro. meadow and a forty-nere fleld; cut and grubbed about 100 trees that were stand- ing scattered over {t, a8 they do over most datry paatures; removed about 800 loads of “hard-head” stones, from the size of one’s fist to that of a hay-cock, then’ plowed the field. The noxt year (1878) E had three acres of it in onts, three acres In potatoes, and nineteen nates in Hungarian grass. ‘The oats ylelded thitty bushels per acre, the:same sea- sou that my drained field gave forty-slx bushelsof wheat per acre, The Hungarian ylelded about a ton per acre and the potatoes Were never dug. Thoy stood in the mud up ta their knees all July and part of Augusi and as my Irishman sald, “In, the foors place they all rotted {ntlrely, and In the next place they never grew at ‘all at all.” The surface of the land was rolling, with a suf. ficlent fall, but every rain we had soaked the ground Into mud before thesurplus wator runoff, This was the fourth or fifth failure of my potato crop within ten years from the same cause, and I determined never to Jant again on undralned land. A part of the ungnirian grass falled also for the same reason, and 60 I made up iy mind to tile- drain tha whole field. @bout five acres aro already done, including a, caleawamn of balf an acre, which never produced anything but wild grass, and where the Hungarian forall failed last year, On elght acres of this field, including the drained portion, [ put the year’s manure from twenty cows and four horses, his year to Hungarinn grasa, and {t would have done your eyes good to have seen it the past month, It ‘was, with a single exception, tho heaviest crop that I ever saw, and the drained catewamp was the henvicst part of It. ‘The stalks averaged 43¢ feat high, some be- ing 6 fect by measure, and stood. about as thick as tha law allows, [imensured, ev and seelmhen a yard square, and it welghe just eight pounds green, or at tho ratu of 19, nS per nere of green forage for folllng, ant when very. thoroughly dried it welzhed three pounds, or at the rate of over sevens tons per acre of cured hay, Pretty well for acatawampt Now, to return to Inst year, 11 acres of the 25 was sowed to wheat, none of It being tle- dralned until Jato In April, too late to do the wheat any good, It was, however, surface drained very thoroughly, which partly saved it from win! Fee eg ‘But it did whiter-kill badly, and in April It didn’t look og tf it would yield five bushels per acre, and the May drought prevented Its stooling out. But ft was then thoroughly harrowed with the Thomas smoothing harrow heavily loaded, and, although Haht In straw, tt formed enor. mous heads and astonished me by yielding 20 bushels per acre. From the efght acres drained (mostly) which had the Hungarian grass, I hope to get next year 40 bushels per acraot wheat. The chances aro better now than two years ago, and L will agree to re- port after thrashing, TILE-DRAINAGE AND HAY CROP, I will now gives single example to show the benefits of tile-dralning on the gruss- crop, especially in helping the ground tu stand drought. ‘Three yeata ago 1 seeded two flelds to timothy and wheat, One of them, my own land, not uniderdrained, but summer fallowed and heavily top-dreased with manure all over; the othor, Mr, Will- Jams’ land, directly across the rond, tile dralned thoroughity tiftcen years axo,and bear- ing a heavy crop of Hungarian grass in place of sumer fallawing like the other, and hav- Ing a top dressing 0! oaly one-third of tho field. “the previous condition of the soll, as to fortlilty, of each was about alike,—cer- tainly Mr. (Villiams' fot was not superior to mine, except in the matter of drainage, and this was expected to ba countor-balanced by the extra manuring that mine received along with the summer fallowing. Thewheat crop was about equal on both, also the grass the first year (which was a wet one), but some- what heaylest on the drained land. But thia the severe drought of April ay Id the difference. On the tile-drained Jan the grass started negrly two weeks curiler and sowed Jt again aheavy rain washed than on theother, and hnd so good a start be- fore the drought was felt that it matured a magnificent crop of hay. ‘Cha other seement to grow hardly at {itl 6 Inte “Juno rin camo and finally yielded shout half a crop, Sev- eral Well-known farmers of the nolghbor- hood, Including Mr. Straight of the cheesc- house, walked together through the two flelds Just before cutting, and gave it ns their unanimous opinion that the crop on tho «trained tnnd wag at least twiee 3 heavy ns that on the other, and Lknow of no possible rearon for the ‘difference except the tile- draining, So, for grass also, and ag n protec- tlon from drought, TIH.E-DRAINAGE PAYS! But not to multiply these examples, ns might be done, these prove most conclustve- ly ta my mind the fol! wing propositions: 1, Tlint mixed farming, fh connection with dalrying, will pay better than exclusive dairying, even on our clay solls and without underdralning. & But te will pay better ati! with tnder- draining, for thus our elay farms can bo mado as productive, if properly managed, a8 any farnis in the Slate or comitry, and bear nll'the grains, grasses, and vegutables sulted to our climate, The best grain, fruit, and grass farms in New York Sinte are the tte-dralned clay farins of Cayuga and adjoining counties; and my own observation and uxperiments on my own farm convince me that when drained and properly farmed, under a good rota- tion of cropsYor a few years, our clay lands will fully equal In fertility the beat of the more sandy and gravelly farms in Ohfo. Even without underdraining our clay soils.show the effects of manure properly a piled as plainiy and more lastin; Wy than sandy soils.. On my farm were th elds of two or threo acres each, which, when a boy, I helped my father to cover heavily with manure, They yielded fine crops of corn and wheat Immediately after the manuring, and the remarkable thing is that those three plats have, for these thirty years, elearly shown tho effects of that munuring In heavier aruss than the adjolning Jand. But, you will say, if your father gut fine crops without under: draining and left such Insting effects of mnanuring, why do you tnderdrain the same Jand? Lreply the wheat erop just mentioned waa tho only good one that we had in ilfteen yenrs—all falling below twenty bushels per acre, and he had three or four almost fallurcs from winter-kiiling, while the avern; of my Inst three consecn- tive wheat crops (on tile-dralned Jand has been $6 8-10 bushels per, acre, and I have never hnd the least touch of wiuter-Killing or Hessian-fy on such land, thongh ndfacent land, not drained, as been badly affected with both. Tree years ago TL hada marked example: half-ncre of my Clawson extended beyond the line of the tile-dralned land. Here the wheat winter-killed badly, and what was left crinked down so badly with the fly that I Judged it did not yield over ten bushels per acre, while that on the adjoining drained lund gave over thirty-two, HOW If WORKS AND ENDURES, But, L may bo asked, how fs It that slmply tile-draining produces such marvelous re- sults? I answer that it renders the sotl more lonse, and light, and warm, Ex- periments with the thermometer show to be fi 10 degrees warmer In ib ‘rom 8 to apring: when drained. It makes ft fit to till and plang much cariler in spring and much sooner after heavy rains, It prevents the immense waste of manure by surface wash, I estimate that over one-half the value of the droppings and uring left on the surface by cattle wintered at the sinck in the old-fashioned wee Is lost by washing from the frozen ground. Draining aiso prevents the manure and the ground itself from beln; “killed”? stagnant water or by hard- baking of the soil, “But will not the soil dry up more In time of Srought where un- derdrained?” Not nearly so badly. Of this Lhave had Srequent and undoubted proofs. The case already given of the grass on Mr. Williams’ drained land standing the drought far better than on ny own undrained land adjacent, and actually yielding double- the crop, {3s one’ out of many that I ‘could name that have come under my own observation. ‘The philosophy of it. I think, ds this: The tiles only remove the surplus water beyond the point of saturation. This surplus Is always injurious. It packs clay round into mud so that It dries slowly, and ion bakes down s0 hard that roots cannot penetrate It, and great cracks are formed at a siirface, Tilexirained Jand retains just enongh wet, and ts left loose and’ purous, 60 that plunt-roots.can spread through ft, and the fertilizing gases have acceas to them. It is more loose, porous, and molst, and retains really more motsture in drought, just.as a sponge will hold more water and retain it longer If taken from a pnil of water loose and full than if compressed by the hands to half its size, But, snys_an unbelloving nelghhor, those tiles will be apt to crumble in a fow years, or fill up with dirt. I. answer on John Johnston’s farm they have en- dured well for thirty years, and on R, P. Wiltianis’ land, as some of you know, they have been down fifteen years, and are alill ns goad asnew. Ihave had frequent occasion dig down to main drains, take up a length of tile and join n lateral, and have Invariably found these tiles as hard and solld as when put down, and aos clean and freo from sediment ns if they had_been just washed, These main drains have been down from seven to thirteen years, and 1f no crumbling or stoppnge rppears In that time, I see no reason why they will not Inst as well fifty or 100 yoars, or 500 yenrs, provitted they are be- low frost, and the outlets are properly cleared aud protected. In short, I not only belicve 4t will pay to tilesiraln our clay Innds, but that we cannot afford to neglect this work much longer, ‘The fol owing was written for and pub- Mshed recently in the Ohio Farmer; ECONOMY IN DOING THE WORK, ‘This is an important matter for those of us who live by farining. Unless wo can make tile-draining pay In dollars and cents, we can not drain at all, We have no bank or out- side buainess to draw on for fancy limprove- . ments of any kind, I firmly bellove that It will pay to tilo-drain, year by year, considter- able portions of .our clayey farms of Ohto, and even of the black-soll farms of the San- dusky and Toledo regions, provided we can do it with little cash outlay except for the tiles, hese will cost about $13 to $15 per acre for two-inch laterals, and the necessary proportion of three and fonr inch main drains. 0) Now. how can we dig, Iny, and fill the drains without much actual outlay? Under this head. 1 give reanlt of considera- ble experience In draining more or less each year for about fourteen years. with py own hands, and with a very lean pocket- 0 1.

Plan and prepare long enongh boforo- hand. Have prover crops preceding and fol- towing the draluing. Never drain turf and leave it turf after drainage, Svine hoed crop dy best to precede the work, as It lvaves tho aitbsoll more molst and mellow, and # late- sowed spring crop, like Hungarian ss, 15 beat to follow the work, This will leave the entire tline from, say, Nov, } to May 10 to devote to the draining, when the weathor and other farm work permit, I should never ad- vie draining earlier in the fall or much later in the spring than this, as the subsoil is sel- dom molst enough to dig well, and other work ts too pressing. 3, Lay out the work with the team, In most flelda the laterals can be made (most ofthem at least) to run parallel with one side of the field. In that case the Acid may bea plowed that way, in lands two rods wide, with very devp dead furrows; and the places for laterals are already marked ont, ‘Then Ie furrow is plowed in the bottom of each, the ditehes are nearly half dug, and two courses with the spade will sink then b three feet aecp, The plowing in ands nesd not be charged as an expense in ditching, If you don't believe in fall plow- ing, plow the Jand thus the preceding aprin, , before planting the hoed crops; ane run the singls deep furrow in each dead fur- row just before ditching. You thus get more than a foot dug for almost nothing. If any Jaterals or mains cannot be mado to run with the dead furrows, a single deep furrow, or plowing once back and forth in the same place will, do. The tiles arobest bought in large quantities and distributed on the field in piles of 33 or 60 each, at two or four rods apart, before the ground grows too soft in the fall, Then the work can proceed all winter whenover there Is not too much frost, snow, or rain, Inthecatching weather of fall, wintereand opie, with gnow, frost, and rain, 1 be nat 6 lower end and finish, iy and partly fill, close up to the digging. If we dix and trim and “dress up” the main and oll the laterals: before lay Ing any tiles, a heavy rain or hard frost and thaw may cave In our drains, undo our well<done work, and make our task alinost interminable, I have, therefore, usually made it a practice ta lay out the work ‘with a plow, as described, In the fall; make my outled, and then work up the main drain, Jaying the tile and filling and tramping at least a foot, nearly as fast asthe dig; bog done,—certalnly catching up close each olght, or when 8 storm comes on to in terrupt, As I pass tho place for each lateral, Idigsome elght or ten fect of the lateral, from the junction to the maln, lap and cover eightor ten fect of the lal eral and pul & straw “ wad" in the upper end of the lateral, alintinr toa straw bung put into a elder barrel, though not driven tight, This ad- inits water rathor slowly ana excludes dirt. 1 then go on with the main drain to the next lateral, lay that in the same way, and soen up the whole ascent of the maindrain, 1 have nt the present timen tain, lald since Nov. 20, thirty-five rods long and with seventeen Internis thus jolned to it. ‘Tho laterals are over fifty rods long, and I have nearly finish- ed four of thom besides the main alone, only hiring an occasional day's work, Tha unfinished ones will be fulshed one after another all winter, a8 we have “any kind of weather.” “I sliall hire more or Jess help alt along as the weather is favorable, and In the spring put In three or four men and finish up be rest ina hurr: ‘This will give about eleven or twelve acres with drains thirty-three feet apart and three feet deep as my “stint” tll pressing spring: work interrupts, Where there Is na crop on the cround the ditches, ff filled and thor oughly packed above the tlle for elghteen inches, may be fett till It Is dry enough In spring, and then the rest of the dirt can be plowed In very rapidly with a team, Now, an open Olsto winter Hke the present permits much of this work to be done at yery Ilttle actual cush outlay except for the ule, and makes a fatiner feel as it he was | by Aceomiplishig something.” 1 am quite sure it ia more profitable than “sitting sround’? n village “ stores,” visiting, making ax- helves, breaking steors, or reading the New York ‘Ledger. . A STRANGE CONSPIRACY. Not tho Millionaire's Widow, Though She Tricd Hard to Ie. Now York Sun. On tho witnees-stand of the United States Dis- trict Court ut Trenton, N. J., yesterday, a wom- an of comely appearance, Indy-like, aod sclf- possessed, recounted tho full bistory of what. seomad to have been one of the most remarka- able consptracics in the records of criminal cases. Her accomplice—the originator of tha conspiracy, indeed, if ber atury 1s to be believed —is a physician of unusun) Intelligence aud force of character. Tho plot, if it had been successful, would havo put a sum hard on to amillion of dollars into tho bands of these two. It was concoived with marvelous skil and carried to almost a successful issue by means of a series of adroit devices, giving to etery ab- jection sufficient explanation. Tho caso of tho conspirators seemed alniost proven, when they were confronted with an unexpected discovery, Against which even tho consumninte care and ingenulty of the plot could hardly have guarded. Tho history of the cuso reads in all Its dotalts Uke fictlon. An old man, discoverat In the course of tho proceedings to be the illegttimate son of n Hebrew trader and a negro woman, amnssed a fortune of nearly two millions ot dollars [n busit and fortunate speculations, Before his death, and doubtless with the con- sciousness of the negro bi in his velns, he made o will bequeathing almost his entire fortune to the United States, to be devoted to paying Q part of tho doht created by a at achitved the abolition of slavery, Tothe knowledge of bis friends, ho badgnot a relative in the world, He had been a miserly old bachelor; ho had wover referred to. fatbor, or mother, or kin, except totwo nephews who were nephews only" by. courtesy.” But when the will camo up for probate a woman appeared who claimed that tho old man had married her twonty yoars before, hed starved, maltreated, and finally driven ber from bishomo. In sup- portof herclatms amarringe certificate was Produced, witnesses swore that thoy had known tho two when living together sa husband and wife, eminant counsel were secured who seemed convinced of the nbsolute Justice of bor causa, and her story Bo. piauel ho that tt was likely ad to enrry any esterday this woman do- clared ‘that she had never, to her knowledge, seun the man sbo claimed tobe ber husbaud, and that the cortificate, testimony, and clatm to the estate was anentire fabrication that was conceived bya Dr, Purk hetwoen the death of tho ald miser and tho day of bts burial.

The drought con- tinued through the year 1878, and thon the pco- plo who bud survived became frightoned, and there was n great exodus, 500,000 leaving one province alone, and at least 140,000 of them dying on the road. at camps of fugitives wero formed slong tho coast, and particularly about Fortaleza. a city of rome 25,000 Inhabitants, More than 100,000 refugees crowded intuit.
