You can cultivate right over them, and they will prevent the land from washing more surely than il piled on top. This is the cheauest as well as the best way To remove stones from th</ fields. It costs less to get rid of a stone in this way thap it does to work it for one season. DRAINAGE.. Some soils are too wet, because of the fact that no suitable outlet is provided for the surplus water UnA falls during winter. There is not enough water to prevent cultivation, but there is too much for the health of the plant roots. The subsoil is too firm to let the water sink out of the way. or the land lies so that there is a sort of basin formed. Such fields need to be underdrained. This is done by carefully surveying the land, and placing terra cotta pipe, burned for this purpose, about three feet below the surface, so ar ranged that all the lines empty into some outlet low enough to carry the surplus water away. These lines of pipe should be from thirty to fifty feet apart. The soil will rapidly be come dry enough for culture, and the locked-up stores of plant food will be available, and fields which were the least productive will be come the most productive of all the farm. This wonderful change will be caused by letting the sunshine warm up the soil, and the air and water circulate freely where the standing water was before. The roots and plants will follow this cir- culatioa, and find food and life where there was poison and death before. The change is often like magic. It is marvelous in our eyes. Very much more of our land needs this treatment than is generally be lieved.
