In tny Opinion tile will payVthe largest larg-est posslblo dividends on pionpy Invested, In-vested, writes, art lowa taflner'pn Or neiu Jtfdif Firuw. I do not car.how much or how. Utile I pMt Ja tho prollin will be Jn proportion. My experience Indicates that too tile drolna should he laid below the frost line. 1 confess, however, that I never heard of any dnniago to ft tile drain from frost. Kxpcrlcnco In dlcalcs (hit a depth of 3 to A'A feet is most satisfactory. 1 think the work should be done wlillit there Is water In tho ground so that there will be ho possibility of making n mistake In the btade. I like a fall of nt least two inches to the 109 feet, Store Would of course, he better. Tllo ditches should be straight, Mncs of tllo should be placed from threo Jo five rods apart, according to fait nnd kind of sell. Tbo three-Inch tllo Is tho common size for short dta-tdnco dta-tdnco ditches, but tt larger slzo should bo used for outlet drains, Tllo drains will not do much work In sprltiif until the frost Is out of the ground. Of course, If It lit very wet some of the water may st op In, i am especially Interested In Hid draining., but do rot pretend to know more thnn expert enced taen. t do know, however, that whfcn I put in a tllo drain It does the work all right. I only wish I were able to put In A lot more. |
