Atha Value of "Sheep -Drains."
Wet hillsides used 'as sheep pas-
uuaes may be much improved by what
are sometimes called "sheep -drains,"
1/'hese • are merely shallow open
ditches about 30 inches wide on top,
dnches wide on the bottom, and
iS inches deep for .removing the sur-
ge 'water. They are dug slantingly
around the Slope to intercept the
'hewing water .and carry it in a
definite channel to a suitable outlet
ett the base of the hill. The removed
earth should be thrown out oil the
Uwer side to form a sort of embank -
Meat to the drain. The grade of the.
ditch should not be so steep as to
gist the water sufficient force to de-
drey the drain by either washing
away the banks or digging the drain

sing and Draining.
A. system of terracing is quite uni
'i<•ersally used to prevent destructive
washouts on hillsides. The terraces
wars made perfectly level, and of any
width, and then carefully seeded to
'grass. At the time of rain the water
'epreads out evenly over the surface
ref these and then flowsgently over
the slope below without sufficient
force to wash away any portion of
"fie hill and thus prevents
"guUying."
For the drainage of tilled hill -
Addeo a system of under -drainage is
asaetinxes used successfully. The
mount of erosion of the land large-
legends on its condition. If the
•ai.,rs:ace soil can be kept firm the
erosion will be lessened. Soft spots

*d the drains are not so liable to affected by the water moving slow-
`dy through them. If the slope is not
very steep .the drains may be laid
.Hawn the incline with satisfactory re -
waits. Here the tile drains the land
- as both sides and no double Graining
suits.
IIA this underdrainage the general
befits are again obtained. The
water level is lowered, thus giving
.snore root capacity to plants and the
'prevention of surface washing by
wallowing the water to penetrate
thorough the soil to the drains, thus
carrying much plant food to the
.vonts of the plants.—R. 0. Moffatt,
