Excerpt from Tile Drainage, or Why, Where, When, and How to Drain Land With Tiles: A Practical Book for Practical Farmers
There are other reasons why he confines this book closely to tile drainage, and even to the best and most recent knowl edge and practice on that subject but these will suffice. Motley, in The Dutch Republic, says that, when the hat ed Duke of Alva entered a certain city of the Netherlands no military salute was fired, as would have been preper but, instead, a deputation from the city fathers appeared be fore-him saying they had come to give thirty-nine good and sufficient reasons for the failure. °first, they had no can non; second, they had no powder; third - but the duke waived the recital of the other thirty-seven reasons.
Tile drainage, and that, too, with round tiles (round inside and round or octagonal outside), is now admitted by all who are well informed on the subject to be the best and really the cheapest sort of drainage for soils that need artificial drainage. Tiles can be made from the local soil and subsoil at or near all localities that need tile 'drainage. Properly made, burned, and laid, there is no reason why the tiles and the drains should not last for centuries, while all other kinds of underdrains soon rot, choke, are spoiled by land or water vermin, or for other cause become practically useless. To dwell on any of these kinds of drains, explaining their con struction, would be like describing to an inquiring road traveler the angles, landmarks, and windings of the wrong road.
This little book, therefore, will not go into curious' ancient history on the subject, but from first to last will try to give just so much of present, well-established facts, reasons, and methods, as shall enable the wide-awake, thinking, studying farmer to understand the underlying principles and the best present methods, and enable him to put them into practice.
