Editor Intelligehcbb : In my last con? tribution I gave you a chapter on the Practice of Draining, Distance of Drains and Depth of Drains. I now set out with the subjects of .Cutting Drains, Tiles for Drains, &c., as prom? ised. cutting of Drains.?"The greatest impor? tance is attached to the accuracy with which the bottoms of drains are cut; and this is par? ticularly necessary where the ground is nearly level, and but little fall can be obtained. The consequences of defect are the softening of the earth where the water settles, and the necessa? ry displacement and injury of the drains. Upon land sloping considerably, It is easy, to determine by observation where the bottom is properly finished, but upon flat land some in? strument must be used. The process of cut ting^drains, and two simple instruments, are thus described by Dr. McFarland: *Two hands should always be associated in the work of draining. The first, proceeding in advance, cuts with the blade of his shovel, or with a turf-cutter, the sods to be removed to some distancejliftingand laying them on one side of the line of the ditch. He also removes the lighter soil from the top, which he deposits on the opposite side. The second removes with the spade and pick remaining earth in the drain until it is carried down to the required depth, guaging its width by a simple instru? ment," (for lack of the cut we give the descrip? tion in our own words,) formed by an upright staff, crossed at right angles by two rods; the first of a length exactly equal to the required width of the ditch at the top, and at a height from the foot of the staff equal to the depth of the ditch, and the second of half the length of the first, and midway between the top rod and foot of the staff. This will aid very much in approximating to accuracy in most cases. The depth to which it is necessary to dig, and which varies with the undulations of the land, may be determined by the following means: "Drive down a stake at the highest point in the field where the draining is to commence, and place a spirit-level horizontally up on the top. Then take a sight along its surface to another stake, driven down at the lowest point, where the drain is to terminate. If the spirit-level is placed four feet from the ground, and the range of vision marks a point on the other stake six feet from the ground, you have obviously a fall of two feet between the extremes of the meas? urement. You may then divide the interven? ing distance into sections by stakes driven at suitable intervals, with the exact fall designa? ted by a line stretched from one to the other. The descent of the water will then be equal in all parts of the drain, and you will not be de? ceived in digging by inequalities in the surface, and all the fall will be obtained of which the ground admits. The degrees of fall necessary to make drainage perfect is very slight. A current may be maintained by a fall of one inch in fifty-three rods.'' (The information, Mr. Editor, that may be derived from the last dozen or two lines is, to any of your readers who may desire to go into the business of drain? age, worth more than your charge for the In? telligencer for one year. Nothing can be more reliable or perfect, with the simple means that every operator may procure.?8.) "No more earth need be thrown out than will enable the proper depth to be reached. The bottom need not be wider than to admit the tiles, and afford room to lay them. In many instances the op? eration may be much facilitated by running a plow along the line of the drain." . "We give below," says our author, "a cut of the various implements used in England, as given by Mr. Coleraan in his 'European Ag? riculture.' Recent improvements have been made iu the form of some of these, but they will serve to give a general idea of the imple? ments used. They are now imported, and can be purchased at most of the hardware stores." (But, Mr. Editor, I presume you have not the engravings of the different implements here given. I shall pass over them, with the re mark that almost any practical farmer, with the instructions above given for laying out the ditch, its width, depth, &c., will at once have an idea of the form of implements necessary to the least laborious and expensive completion J of the work in hand.?S.) Tiles for Draining.?"Having now com-! pleted the ditch, we are ready for the tile, which vary in form and size. Mr. Donald says, In some districts a preference is still given to the common kind, open at the bottom, from two and one-half to three inches in width, and from three to four inches in height inside. These were the kind originally adopted, and when well made, carefully laid with soles un? derneath, they are by no means unsuitcd to the purpose, as a drain both efficient and perma? nent may, in ordinary cases, be constructed with them. They require a sole not less than five inches in breadth, and at least a foot iu length: a size sufficient, under all ordinary circumstances, to prevent the slightest chance of derangement by sinking.' " Figure 5, (of which you may not have an engraving, Mr. Editor,) represents tho horse? shoe tile as first used. Plank have been found to answer a good purpose for 6oles in this coun? try, but they eventually rot out, and the tiles become displaced. "Such tiles are, however, larger and heavier than is requisite in thorough draining; they are also rather easily broken, and it is easy to see that if the tile and bottom were made in one piece, they would be not only stronger, but j better fitted to retain their position firmly in the drain. They have, accordingly, been to a large extent superseded by various kinds of pipes, which arc more economical, and at least i equally suitable. The form of tile now most approved is the pipe or sole tile. They have advantages over the horse-shoe shape, in that they are smaller and all in one piece; this makes them cheaper in the first cost, and also more economical in transportation. [I will here remark, Mr. Editor, for the in? formation of your readers, that the last named are the tiles now manufactured by our friend Crayton in your corporation ; at least they are such as I have received from him, and accord? ing to our judgment an article that may be relied on by the farmers and planters of our county.] "These tiles are simply placed end to end in the bottom of the ditch, then wedged a little with small stones, if necessary. Experience has shown that the water cannot be kept out. These tiles are very durable. Prof. Norton says, 'if buried at a good depth, they can scarce? ly be broken; and if well baked are not liable to moulder away. There seems no reason why well made drains of this kind should not last for a century.' "In England the practice of securing the tile at the joints by collars is extensive, but it has not been adopted in this country. The tiles should be laid in by commencing at the upper end, and advancing downwards. They should be laid as level, straight and closely to? gether as possible. The work should in no case be allowed to be done imperfectly, for the least failure in the detail will lead to serious difficulties." Thinking this article long enough for one paper, Mr. Editor, I will call off from labor to refreshment, and in my next?if the game to you is still worth the ammunition?will con? tinue on "Filling of Drains, Season of Drain? ing, Cost of Draining, and Profits of Draining." S. Pcndleton, S. C, Jan. 22,1872. The Life of a Fanner. The life of a farmer can be made easier, pleasanter and healthier, and his home more attractive, beautiful and enjoyable, by a careful attention to certain rules too often forgotton. 1. Too much work is frequently undertaken, I or more land attempted to be cultivated than the means at his command will fairly allow. Having once started on the wrong path, and only looking to the profit that may accrue if all his plans can be accomplished, he presses all his energies into the service, only to find at the end of the season that the task he had imposed upon himself was too heavy, and that much of his labor/has been wasted from the want of prudent, cautious calculation at the beginning. It would have been far better to husband his strength and that of the force at his command, so that the work shall be kept within the abili? ty of the field hands and nothing slighted. Larger areas under cultivation than can be cropped successfully, make show, and put on an outward appearance of prosperity ; but it is wholly delusive where there is weakness be? hind it all. Less land, better tillage, and fewer mortgages would do some of our counties an immense amount of good, and not only keep the minds of embarrassed owners easy, but ul? timately bring them, by concentration of means and power, an increase of prosperity. For the working farmer it is far better that he should lay out for the season only so much work as may be within his means and his capacity, und to do well whatever work he undertakes. It is also most desirable that the impoverished land? owner, and there are many such, should parti? tion off portions of his land into smaller farms, \ or sell outright what he cannot manage con? veniently, and concentrate all his ability on a [smaller number of acres. A hundred acres well manured and well tilled, will bring him more profit than three hundred acres indiffer? ently manured and hurriedly tilled. 2. The work on the farm should be better systematized than it is usually. It is impor? tant that the work should be so arranged that there shall be time allowed for doing every? thing that may-be required to be done, without undue strain, and allowing for contingencies, so that there shall be a fair margin to count upon in any event. When once such regula? tions are laid down they should be rigidly adhered to, for any departure from them, un? less under exceptional circumstances, would be likely to prove embarrassing. More time is frequently lost at the last moment in thinking what to do and how to do it, or where the means to do it shall be found, than in perform? ing the work when once determined on and begun with method and conducted with pre? cision. Think, then, beforehand ; map out the things to be done, and it will be a matter of surprise after a while to find how easily the day s routine runs in its groove. Of course perfect regularity, under all conditions of time, place, and weather, is not to be expected, for the best plans sometimes fail just as the best regulated railway train may break a wheel or be shifted off the track by a damaged rail. But any method carefully devised for carrying on the work of a farm systematically and with a due regard to the circumstances of the farmer or planter and his ability to command a suffi? cient force of field hands, when it is more wanted, is infinitely superior to a hap hazard, "happy go lucky" way of trying to do the same things and just missing it. There is nothing more beneficial in carrying on systematic farm? ing than the keeping of a regular account of income and expenditure, and a simple diary of each day's occupation, with the condition of the crops and the state of the weather. We ven? ture to say that a man who docs this, for two years faithfully, will find "it of so much advan? tage, as a means of reference aud as assisting to correct slips of the memory, that he will scarce? ly fail to continue it thenceforward. 3. Pay more attention to the health of the body. Care in changing from thin to thicker garments, or the reverse, as the case may be, in accordance with the variations of the weath? er, will often prevent severe attacks of sickness. Malaria should always be guarded against, not only by caution in exposing one's self to its baleful influences, but by the use of small dos? es of quinine, and in damp situations by keep? ing the apartments dry; even in hot weather some fire has to be used. The fanner, especi? ally of the Middle States, is constantly exposed to sudden alterations of cold and heat, and is further liable to suffer from checked perspira? tion, when severe labor demands a short peri? od of rest. It is such things as these, combined with hard work, that break down, alter awhile, the strongest of constitutions. Reason would tell us that a life passed without violent mental strain, in the open country and in a pure at? mosphere, would be more likely than almost any other to reach the limit of three score years and ten. The statistics show that the average duration of life, among persons engaged in ag? ricultural pursuits, is actually less than that attained by persons engaged in some of the most laborious occupations of a town. 4. Make the home life cheerful and bright, as well as comfortable, see that the house is made I pleasant, by neat adornments, and that it has also pleasant surroundings, books, papers, pic? tures, music, some of these at least, if not all, ( are within the reach of all those whose minds crave them, and whose eyes appreciate them. When homes are bleak, bare ami cheerless, life is robbed of some of its chiefesl blessings. The outward beauty of a country dwelling is a mat? ter of no lese consequence. Its adornment, though simple and inexpensive, may yet be made to add a new charm to the inner comforts. Flowers over the porches, and shrubs and flow? ers on the lawn, are nature's arts, and though cheap, are in their natural beauty more attrac? tive than any other thing that the costliest art can supply.?
