we also laid a few of the two inch, and
a few four inch. :The-resqt, as witnes-
sed at the- harvesting and threshing of
the nrst crop on the •Underdrained
ground, so far exceeded my sanguine
expectations that I have since contin-
ued the drains in othe-Wields'and do
not intend to stop until the whole fium
is dealt With iu a similar mannei. The
largest drain at present in operation on
my farm consists of, two six inch tiles,
placed side by side, with a four ilia
above them. I expect, as soen as pos--•

of six ineh dies which will be the out-

,examples -of the - result of my experi-
ence in underdreining, in regasel to
yield of grain : The ordinary yield of
wheat on my farm was formerly from
fifteen to seventeen - bushels per acre,
,so that on a .field ot sixteen acres I
might etpect two hundred and fifty
bushels or -wheat.. The • .first year
after I commenced draiuing I harves-

darning the field, ;Ind, as we have le ts-
on to eXpect better crops froth the
same field in future than it formerly
yielded, the profit resulting from drain-
ing thie neld must be. imMense. It is
a well known fa'et that many fields have
suffered to a groat extent from the great
••quansity of rain that has fallen during
the present season. My peas were sown
this year on a field -Which was all un-
alerdrained a few months ago; with. the
