E HURON EXPOSITOR.
The Common Sense Philosophy
of Under -Draining.
The following is the paper on the
above subject read by Mr. Wm.Bu
chanan, Hay, at the recent meeting of,.
the South, Huron Farmers' Institute at
Exeter :
It has been said and truly said by one
of the great thinkers of modcrn times,
that the history of man's achievements
has been written on the face of this
planet in characters that might be read.
from the moon.. Bat, notwithstanding
this, the economy of nature seems to be
so arranged that she can get along very
well without us,and, like an old resi-
dent, extending a helping hand to new-
comers, she is continually teaching us
lessens and setting us 'examples, and we
are beginning to discover the more dili-
gently we heed those lessons the more
closely we follow those examples the
greater will be Jar success as agricul-
terists.
Yes, nature is a wonderful agricultur-
ist Take, for instance, the soil on
which we stand, the region with which
we are best acquainted, and we find
mtny, if not all, of the operations which
we consider essential to successful far-
ming have been practised by nature for
untold ages, In prepaying the land for:
a crop we turn it up with the plow. j.
but nature's plow -share has been at
work on the same -soil long before the
human agriculturist saw the country.
Each uprooted tree disturbing -and turn-
ing up a quantity of earth, until, in the
course of time, the whole surfaee has
been turned over. And this process is
slowly but continually repeated, while
nature's harrow, in the shape of frosts
and rains, is continually pulverizing and-
redhcing the up -turned mounds.
Nature's system of manuring is
obvious to the most unobserving; name-
ly, the decaying of vegetable -matter on
the surface of the gtound. • But it
might be well to make a note of the
fact, that it is on the surface that ne-
ture-also practises a system of clop ro-
tation, as indicated by a number Of facts
-which most of us must have observed.
We find where the forest has been de-
atroyed by fire a new and different
growth of trees springing up and the
existence of well-preserved pitchy knots
of the narrow -leafed pine and hemlock
in the soil which we found covered with
• trap ed hardwood trees, pretty dearly
-indicates that nature does set. us the ex-
ample of changing craps, and the fact
that nature's aids are invariably cov-
ered by mixed crops, eidefly the same as
to class,but mixed as to species, might
furnishfarmers with a profitable hint,.
at least so far as coarse grains are con-
cerned.
This kings us to a more particular
consideration of one of nature's most
iraportant and interesting agricultural
tverations, namely, the process of 'arro-
gation. its importance can ha,rdIy be
over estimated; it makes ali the differ:
&ice between fertility and a desert.
This process naturally divides itself into
twe parts. We have, first, water raised
frenaseas and lakes by evaporation, 3ar-
ried ovdr the lend ha the shape of clouds
ty the windsand dropped on the earth:
in the form of ram, and, second, the
same water conveyed by a multitude ef
eharmels back to its original _source
ready to. pass again through the same
round.Now, we may observe here,
that nature, lie every good manager, is
very orderly-" a place for everything
and everything in its place" is her rule.
And When we notice the many precau-
tions she takes tO prevent evaporation
from taking- placehat the eurfaee of the
gloated, by • closely shading it with
a dense growth of forest " or grass;
by opening the soil through the frequent
'notion of tree roots, to enable the water
to pass quickly under the surface, may
4fo1y conclude that evaporation should
net te atiy great extent take place on
the land: It is not the place for it. And
on the other hand, when we think of
the millions of chanuels, under and over
grosind, cut by sucli a tremendous ex-
penditure, on the part of nature's forces,
to enable the water to reach the lakes
and seas. We are forced. to the conchs -
aim, that nature intended, evaporation
should be- mostly carried on at the sur-
face of these large bodies of water. That
is the place for it.
There is another aspect of this process
of arrogation, whiels we must notice be-
fore leaving this part of the subject.
We find that nature is very careful to
prevent water fromrunning ovhr the
surface of the ground and. washing the
sail. She effect this object by a variety
of means, but chiefly y the roots of
perennial plants, of which nature's crops
- are nearly always composed, by keeping
the soil open and porous, thus enabling
the water to sink below the surface..
When dvilized man first became ac-
quainted with this country he found it
a, wilderness, but very fertile. Nature's
system a agriculture was in successful
operatioe. Witness the abundant crop
of vegetation with which the soil was
covered. Our first step on taking pose,
seseion of the tertiary was tostrip off its
covering of forest. This was necessary,
without it farming was impossible, bet
it was at the same time our first step
toss -arils interfering with and marring
nataire's systeui of arrogation and drain-
age. By stripping the land of its shady
aivering we exposed the bare surfaces to
the influences which milks evaporation,
which nature is so particular to guard
against. But the evil did net show it;
self to any great extent at first.. The
soil was still loose and open, so that the
water could quickly find a shade beneath
the surface. The land was still full of
tree roots and sutural channels by which
means the water was soon carried off.
steel many spets that were wet in early
Rodeo-, would it the course of a, few daye
be litfor cultii ation, and also very pro-
ilaetiee, Pee, gradually the rocas rot-
ted, the stumps disappeared, the natural
chauuds were choked and destroyed. by
constant cultivation, and nature's sys-
tem of drainage was nearly ruined. And
now the full extent of the evil ;of our
necessary interference with naturo s pIoin
ie beginuing todem itself. The water,
instead Of sinking through the soil, at
she seme time opening and fertilizing it,
remains longer et or neer the surface,
eat the land._ etrippal of its forest shade,
is exposed to the: chilling influence of the.
evaporation, lowering the temperature
of the soil, and at the szune time leaking
it more close mid compact, thus elowly
out surely inereesing the etil. And
Andel eur higher laud loses to a great ex-
tent the benefit of arrogation, because
elv- wat-r, having no tineergromul ohm -
mils, instead of penetrating ancl fertiliz-
ing tint seil, runs rapidly over the sun
feee, washing and impo-verishing it, and
the wet Spots, whicii formerly required
but a few daysto make them fit for cul-
tivation, retain water until late in the
season, and at harvest time the land is
hard, baked and almost barren. That
we have interfered with, and. very 'lied-
ouslyimpaired, nature's machinery for
carrying out the process of arrogation
cannot be denied, and that we are suf-
fering loss as a consequence of that in-
terference is also very evident. .
Now, the question that naturally
forces itself on our attention under these
circumstances is, by what means under
these changed conditions with which we
have surrounded oorselves can we co-
operate with nature. in restoring that
machinery to its former usefulness. We
reqi ire in the case of our higher rolling
lands that the water should penetrate
wed beneath the surface, opening and
i
enri hing ' the soil, as it formerly did
und r nature's •conditions instead of
rusting off in a few minutes after a
rain fall, as it does at 'present, washing
and destroying the surface. `How can
this be effected, and at then Era`me time
we c.ontinue to grow our crops of annual
plants, which necessarily leave the
ground bare for . a large portion of the
rainy reason ? The only answer is by
under -draining. We recidire, in the
ease of all ourIaed, that the water after
a fallef-rain should sink quickly under
the surface , of the ground, and thus
secure a shady protection, preventing
evaporation from the soil. This, in -ease
of cultivated land can only be secured
by undendraining We require, accord-
ing to nature's plan and pattern, numer-
ous free channels • to convey the water
out of the land after it has performed
its fi =time, oe leavinit open for the ad-
. i
mission of beneficial atmospheric influ-
ences. Howis this to be effected on
land, where l a,gricu Mural implements
must pass frequently and freely over the
surface ? Again the answer comes,, only
by under -draining. Only by harmoni-
ous and intelligent co-operation with
nature can we, as agriculturists, sectre•
her greatest benefits. ,

Longevity in. Horses::: ,
'The longevity of horses. depends great-
ly upon the care they receive -when
young. A horse that passes the age of
25 or 30 years and is sound and, fit for
service is rather a curiosity now, and
yet naturalists tell us 'that the natural

these. An English writerirefers to one
he knows which lived to 47 years:, hav-
ing all the time .a ball in his neck, re-
ceived in the battle. of Preston Pans, in
the rebellion of 1715, whieh was extract-
ed at his death' in 1758 ; thus, judine
him to be four years old at the 'time he
,received the wound -and it was -pro-
bable he was more -he must at his
death. have • been 47. But even these
venerables, he says', were babies to the
barge horse -of the Mersey and Irwell
navigation, which Was well known to
have been in his sixty-second year when
he died. It will be noticed by the ob-
serving that the ,horses .which attained
these ripe -old ages are not those which
have been pampered and have led an
idle life, but in most instances they are
"horses that have had steady employment
from one year's end to the other. It
will also be observed that they have gen-
erally been in :the haude of men who
have ,given them proper care and atten-
tion and have beeieregular as well as,
careful in their attentions. This sus-
tains the idea that more horses "rust
out" and - are killed by hard manage-
ment than , die at the -expiration of a
natural- -lifetime. By careful observa-
tion it will also be noticed that horses
which live to a ripe old age and retain
their vitality, action and usefulness to
the eed are generally well-bred, or at
least have some warm blood in their
veins. If, then, we are enabled to add
five or ten years to the life and useful-
ness of a, horse, and that toe at the time-
hecan. he most useful and safe, it should
be apparent. to all that it pays well to
breed and raise the best classes possible,
and to treat them -properly after they
are raised.
Where Earninga_ Go.
The Chicago Industrial World says:•
In a certain. .manufacturiug town, re-
ports an exchange, an employer on Sat-
urday paid to his tiorkineh $700 in crisp
new hills that hadiseen secretly marked.
On Monday 050 of those identical bills
were deposited in the bank by seloon
keepers.[ ..When the fact was made
known; .the workmen- were so startled
by it that they helped to make the place
a no -license -town. The -times would
not be s� hard for the workingmen if
the saloens did not take in so much of
their Wages. ;If they would organize a
strike against ; the saloons, they would
find. the result to be better than an in-
crease id wages, and to include an in-
crease of savings.
