It lasted all day and at night rain came down. But on Friday miming wo \Keie ill as ahiin as ever, for the >tempe.a'U!e was back to Zero and the thaw merely a liuall dream. The past winter of unusunl severity h»s given the water supply in the big fcyd'opond at Eugenia a severe test. Four inoiitlis of steady freezing weather, with the iherinometer ranaing from zero., to thirty be'ow most of the time, hss kept the pdiid in fetters, unrelieved by a eiBKle thaw during all that time, the result beinc that several feet of ice cover the pond's surface, while underneath the water has been used so fatt that if a thaw does not come within a short time there will not be sufficient water to continue the 24-hour service. It is said that oomparatively li'tle water remains undt^I the mantle of ice covering the bi^ pond. It would be » catastri'pho of niagnitui?e if the water mipplf afcould give out before the rams come.

Guesswork Is the Poorest Metliod to Adopt â€" Oet the I.uind Levels and Then Arrange for Tiling â€" How to Protect Drainage Outlets. (Contributed by Ontario Department o) Agriculture, Toronto.) WHE.N a man Is about to erect a building, be it ever so small, the first thing he does is to make a plan. That plan may be on prvper or It may exist only In the mind of the builder, yet it Is a plan. Without a plan to ioUow, a builder cannot do good work. The same is true oil tile drain- age. The man who places a "string" or "line" of tile in a watercourse^ which traverses his fields, should not do so without asking himself such questions as: "Am I putting this tile in the lowest part?" "Will I be able to get a satisfactory outlet? How many acres will this tile drain, and is it large enough to drain it satis- factorily? Have I sufficient grade to drain the holes in the rear fifty?" If he does not ask himself these ques- tions he is like a builder without a plan; he is working in the dark; his work cannot be efficient. All these questions the drainage plan answers, and more. No matter how small the means for immediate construction of drains, or how few the drains which one Is about to instal, he should not do so without having first laid out a plan of which these drains will be a part. On rolling land such a plan is not hard to decide upon, because the differences in elevation are very pronounced, and any one who is familiar with such lands is able to intelligently plan a system of drains for them. But where the area ia large and the topography irregular, or very flat, guesswork is out of the question. It is then that we must resort to the tape and the levelling instrument for reliable information. A drainage plan shows first of all the differences in height or elevation between all parts of the farm over which the survey extended. This al- lows the owner of the land to plan his own system of drainage. The pos- session of the levels for all parts of the farm lays bare the most advan- tageous routes for tile drains, from a study of the levels and contours of a plan it is possible to calculate the acreage which each main tile must drain. This information together with the fall or grade procurable is the only true guide to help us decide upon the size of tile needed in any given drain. It is only when the plan- ner has a picture of the whole pro- ject before him that lie can draft an efficient yet economical plan of drains for any piece of land. Future Benefits. â€" Tlie benefits of a plan do not end with the comple- tion of the drainage system. Only those of us who have tried long and hard to find a drain, the location of which was now;here recorded, know the value of guidance such as Is of- fered by a plan. When a tile-drained farm is offered for sale the existence of a plan of drains add* greatly to the value of the farm. The plan is of equal value to both the seller and buyer. With proper care well-con- structed tile drains will give good service for several generations; therefore for the convenience of our children and grandchildren it is ne- cessary to have a plan of our under- ground drainage work. There is anothei way in which a drainage plan is very hoipful to a farm owner; it is a splendid guide toward ascertaining the acreage of any field or part of the fnim. Feijces are located on the plan, and the whole plan drawn to scale, so that with the aid of a rule it is possible to measure the area of any part of the land surveyed. This is of great assistance in planning a season's crops as well as in calculating yields per acre. Tile drainage pays; but, before you start even a small system by all means secure a plan â€" G.

Tile, particularly clay tile, should not run out to the uioiuh of the drain. If a piece of old gas pipe, eight or ten feet long, can be secured, this should be placed In the drain in place of the last few tile. Failing I Ills a piece of corrugated steel, or even a plank trough is much better than running tUo tile right to the end, where they will bo broken, washed in- to the outlet, or otherwise destroyed, allowing the earth to roll iu and stop the flow of water. Under any condition the bank Is liable to wear away. Animals pastur- ing iu the field may tramp it down, and block the tUe,- so iu the second place, an abutment should be built through whibh the outlet discharges its water and the bank will be kept in a slate of preservation. This may be made wf concrete, sleue or plank, and should be a permanent structure. In some eases whereahe flow is heavy and the water would have a tendency to undermine the wall, It is well to' build sua. apron on which the force of the falUug water is broken. There is slill another precaution which should be given due conaider- itiou. Frequently small animals, tnuskrats, coons, ground hogs and •jthers, seek refuge in the tile. Here ihey are entrapped, and form a dam to the flowing water. To overcome 3uch, the outlet should have bars icross the end. These may be quite small, and close togethe; so that lothing can get through. A screen nay be fitted over the end, but un- less the mesh is quite large the water is retarded in Its flow. Sometimes the :irst tile is threaded with wire. This orms a good protection. When all these devices are given ittention, the outlet should remain n a state of efficiency for years, 4nd he system, it properly installed, should give satisfaction. â€" F. U Far- lUBoa, O. A.
