i t PERFECT HEALTH. | After Years of Backache, Dizziness é and Kidney Disorders, Mrs. R. C. Richmond, of Northwood, Towa, says: “For years I was a martyr to kidney trouble, backache, dizzy spells, head- aches and a ter- rible bearing-down pain. I used one remedy after an- other without bene- fit. Finally I used t a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and the backache ceased. Encouraged, I kept on, and by the time I had used three boxes not a sign of the trouble remained. My health is perfect.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Eczema Lasted 7 Years—Face Was All Raw—Skin Specialists Failed, But Cuticura Effected Cure “When my little boy was six weeks olb an eruption broke out on his face. 1 took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a night’s sleep in months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme- dies and he felt relieved the first time I used them. I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and I think the trou- ble will never return. Mrs. John G. Klumpp, 80 Niagara St., Newark, N. J., Oct. 17 and 22, 1907.” Convinced at Last.

Because of the fundamental char- acter of the process of drainage, its effects are numerous and far reaching. Ten of the most important ones may be given as follows: 1. Drainage removes the excess of water from the surface and from the pores in the soil, thereby rendering it more firm. Poorly drained soil has the two-fold disadvantage of lack of stability and firmness and great susceptibility to physical modifications injurious to most farm crops. Such injury may be caused by any tillage operations, by tramping and by the natural drying of the soil. 2. Drainage is directly operative to change an unfavorable physical con- dition into a de- er sirable one, as = = well as to reduce ¢ the tendency to a bad physical con- dition of the soil. It may bring about the change from a puddled to a granu- lar soil. Such physical changes are most pronounced in fine textured soil. The change is produced primarily by the alternate wetting and drying to which well-drained soil is subject. Poorly drained soil is usually in a bad physical condition. It is compact and impervious. that the tilth of a soil rapidly im- proves as a result of drainage. 3. Contrary to a frequent belief, drainage increases the amount of moisture available to crops. the result of two factors. First, when the soil is granulated to the condition Correct Form of Union of Two Lines of Tile. of good tilth, the total capillary ca- | pacity is increased. The soil is then able to both readily absorb the rainfall | and to retain a larger proportion of it than would otherwise be pos- { sible, against the time of dry weath- 4 er. Second, the, SS wider and deeper x distribution of the plant roots in drained than in wet soil puts them in reach of a much larger reservoir of moisture. This ef- fect is well known to those who have had experience in tile draining. 4. Drainage promotes the aeration of the soil, that is, the exchange be- tween the soil air and the external air. A supply of oxygen is necessary to the proper growth of the living or- ganisms in the soil. Such a supply is largely, if not entirely, excluded from a saturated soil. The removal of the water makes 33 place for air and gthe granulation or loosening-up pro- cess which occurs of facilitates the use of Shows cord to form a smooth curve in lateral with main ditch. A method joining lateral to movement of the the main line of air into and out of the soil. The sup- ply of air increas- es the food available by its direct ac- tion on the minerals in the soil and by promoting the growth of desirable bacteria. It also hinders or prevents the growth of many undesirable bac- teria. 5. Drainage permits the soil to maintain a higher average tempera- ture than is possible on wet soil. Parkes found in the peat bogs in Lan- cashire, England, that at a depth of seven inches the drained soil was 15° warmer than the undrained soil and at a depth of 31 inches the drained soil was still 1.7° warmer. John Johnston wrote in 1853: “Such fields (un- Another method drained) must €N-of connecting a erally be left latejateral with the in the spring—per- main tine of tile. haps too late to work favorably—and in the autumn the frost will inflict an injury.” These observations emphasize one other very important effect of drain- age in this connection. It lengthens the growing season by permitting the land to.be cultivated and seeded ear- lier in the spring and by keeping up the temperature in the fall. In the southern part of the state on the high hills where it is difficult to mature corn even in the favorable seasons it may be readily seen how important to the farmer this extension of the growing season. In many cases the difference is that between a success- ful crop and a fail- ure, 6. Drainage in- creases the avail- able food supply in the soil.

Drainage en- ables the plant to make a better use of the food and moisture supply in the soil. The roots of most farm crops will not de- velop into a satur- a neglected out- ated soil.

Drainage greatly. reduces the in- jury to winter crops resulting from “heaving” or the freezing of large amounts of water in the soil. This process raisés the upper layers of soil, carrying all shallow rooted plants with it, and if some of their roots happen to be fastened in the subsoil, these may be broken off. Such effects are most noticeable on _ tap-rooted The Result of Poor Drainage in a Peach Orchard. Many Trees Missing. plants, such as the clovers, but it is almost as injurious to the grass and grain crops. Nor is the injury of heaving confined to small plants. It extends to trees and even to fence posts, the latter being lifted out of the soil by successive freezes. 9. Drainage reduces or prevents ero- sion. Erosion is the washing of the soil as the drainage water flows down the slope. A saturated soil is in the right condition for erosion to be most serious. On the other hand, thorough drainage permits part of this excess to be drawn off beneath the surface in channels pro- vided for: it and which are ‘not sub- ject to such in- jury. Further, on clay soil where the injury is liable to A “drowned” be the result of outlet due to level the water flowing of water being away because it higher than mouth cannot readily of the tile drain. penetrate the sur- An undesirable face soil, this ef- condition. fect is reduced by the changes in the physical condition of the soil resulting from drainage—as mentioned above—so that much more of the rainfall is absorbed and there- by retained for the use of plants. 10. Drainage increases the yield of crops. This is, of course, the obvious purpose of drainage as applied to ag- riculture. It is one of the two funda- mental purposes of drainage, the oth- er being increased healthfulness. The increase varies with the original con- dition of the land. On acknowledged swamp land, such as is included in the first group of drainage conditions, the difference is that between no crop Hand Implements Used in Construct- ing Tile Drains. 1, Grade line; 2.

For it must be kept in mind in connection with wet land that its productiveness after drainage is, as a rule, directly pro- portional to its wetness before drain- age. So that the drained swamps are usually the most productive soils for many kinds of crops. And very often hese are special crops of large mar- et value, such as celery, onions, cab- bage, and some other truck crops not to mention many general farm crops.
