M. x 8, 1997 PRACTICAL FARMING. "HOW ]II17Cli T1L71?" AND OTHER POINTS. This is a question that every nen draining his farm must answer for himself, says a writer in Prairie farm- er. As a rule they make their ans- wer too soon, and from immature judg- ment, and as a consequence do not plan to use as many as they should. In after years, if aha workr is complete - ed, much of it must be done over on im- mune of bad calculations in the begin- ning. IL is assumed in the beginning that parts of the field or plats do not need tile drainage, and the possibility that they may id left out of count. The ruins last year, and so far this year, lhave plainly brought to view any spots in fields supposed to be well drained that would be much improred by having more Tile under them. Some- times a drain every four rods will ans- wer the purpose, and then again only perfect work can bo accomplished by putting them two rods apart. The farmer inexperienced in the drainage can not tell how much his land will need, nor can Ito call in a stranger and get correct estimates, The reason for this Liaise �Leristhat no two farms are experienced t. An ea aliketo the respect. hs1 P farm drainage engineer will come near- er than any one else. 'He will name a number of rods necessary, and will err 00 the safe side by naming more than is actually needed, rather than otherwise. When a farm needs drain- age the owner can spend much time profitably by a careful study of the nature of the soil under all conditions. and with this study of the soil he should unite that of the condition of the crops growing on the Land. If the farmer who owns land that he can crap safely every year under most unfavorable weather conditions, complains of bard times, how numb more must the times pinch the farmer who crops land that is unreliable, because too wet? Ono way out for the latter is to commence tiling if his land is worth the improvement. The only way to gat satisfaction from this work is to do it right from the start. And the more attention the land owner glees to the matter the more thoroughly he will be convinced that this is true. It may take years, after the work has once commenced. on minutely through his gold-ramme glasses. 1 have never seen anything giute like it although I bare seen many curious pistols in my time.

" A thousand thanks; but I value the weapon too highly to trust it into the hands of a servant. .I will return it personally in the course of a few days."

THE STRAWBERRY FIELD. Recent experiments have demon- strated the foot that certain varie- ties of the strawberry give a much bet- ter yield of fruit fromi beds fruited the second and third years thau the first Year's cropping How to clean out Lhe fruiting bed and place it in condi- tion for another year's crop with the least amount at labor is what con- fronts the grower. There are many ways advocated, Some Claim that a new bed can be set out with less ex- pense and a better crop secured. 'ibe fruit as a rule is otamuch better quality from second and third cropping beds than from the first. It. is an easy mat- ter to clean out a bed that has once fruited and place it in condition for another year. Immediately after all the fruit has been picked mow closely and allow this to become well dried. Burn this over, being sure that all re- fuse is destroyed. In case all should not be burned rake over with a horse rake, or if the plantation is small use a hand rake. The object in removing all refuse is to prevent the clogging of the machine which will do the work of narrowing down the rows. in burn- ing over the plantation we destroy all insects and their further progress. The quickest way to out out and narrow our rows is by the use, of a spading harrow. Do not use the dim harrow, as it will, not do the work. Remove the two out- side acts of teeth from the spading harrow, as well as the two inside sets. The space made vacant by the removal of the canter teeth, should straddle the row to 1)e cut and narrowed down. By following this method of straddling each 0050 in succession the space be- tween the rows will be spaded over twice, one set of the teeth running in the acme space twice. This narrows the row down to about six inches, loos- ens the dirt up well between the rows and places it in a fit condition for the cultivator. Rua a Cultivator through as soon as it is gone over with tbehar- row and you are then ready to hoe and trent the same as a new bed. After the bed has been gone over with the spader and cultivator the first time it will look pretty thin. of plants, the burning and spading having destroyed the tops of the plaints, but soon you will see new leaves and runners appear and a fine stand of vines will be ob- tained by fall.

Fox' it is web understood these hard times that few farmers have the money to complete the worx. The mains must be laid first, and as results accrue the work is completed. The first work done helps to pay for the continuation of the work. The satisfaction had in working over the land recently tiled is so much above what it was before being tiled that the pushing farmer is anxious to com- plete the work. Just now, after the wet weather we have had, few fields of upland show an oven growth of wheat. The bottom lands underlaid with gravel make a better showing. On the clay hands too many places look yellow and scalded on account of the wet, cold soil, These places show plain- ly the need of tile, When the farm- er neglects to tile these places, he gets poor consolation at harvest time out of the statement that this and that spot was too wet, or that a dry season gave a good crop. We have fields which wo have beea working for thirteen years that we thought during the dry years needed little, if any, more, but this spring spots show up plainly where the sod has been a lit- tle too wet for the wheat to do its best. Short branohes will complete the work the next time the land is plowed. It is our custom to put down the tile wbile the land is in clover sod, just previous to plow- ing for a Drop. When the farmer has iris soil so well tiled that when plow- ing, the condition will be the same all aver the field, he may feel that he has the work well done. This spring, on account of the heavy rains, the land is plowing heavy and looks tough when turned civet. 11 the land is well tiled this close, compact condition can he pro - seated to a grout extent. The water passes off so quickly that the land does not become 5a.d and -heavy. This pre- vented, the farmer and his teams are saved mush laborious work. This is one of the notable advantages of having land perfectly tiled. This hard work by the farmer and itis team will not put the loosi in the pliable condition attained by the action of the tile. Tile should go down as long as a hill of corn suffers excessive moisture. Unless the farmer is free handed wo dot not advise that he undertake to accomplish this at oboe. Butwe advise that when he commences the work he makes prober calculations for its full completion, thereby avoiding taking up tIle because too small or because the work' has been improperly done. The amount needed is best determined after the work is thor- oughly done.
