WHAT DRAINAGE WILL DO

Tile-Makers Explain How It Is Bene ficial in Loth Wet and Dry Seasons. The Best Crops Are Produced Daring Droughts on Drained Lands Use of Natural Gas in Making Tiles. Quite a large number of members were in at tendance at the opening session of the Tile and Drainage Association yesterday morninc. The meeting was held in the rooms of the Stats Agricultural Department, ia the new Capital. The great majority of those present were Indiana tile-makers, or persons in some way interested in tile drainage, but there was a large sprinkline of Ohio men and a few from Illinois and other noints. The meeting was opened with the annual address by the president, Thomas E. Chandler, of this eity. His remarks were brief and were chiefly congratulatory on the progress of the society in the past and its prospects for the future. Following hira, Dr. R. T. Brown read a paper on "Tile Drainage as Connected with Progress in Agriculture.' Dr. Brown started out with the proposition that the water which saturates the earth must get out in one of two ways. It must either percolate through to the underground water-ways or evaporate from the surface. Evaporation reduces the temperature of the ground very often to a point below what is nece ssary for the vegetation. Farmers can very readily see the advisability of draining swamp land, but draining uplands is more difficult to understand. A clay subsoil will keep the cround saturated to within a few inches of the surface, even when the ground is quite undulating. The chief objection to the saturation of the soil is that it excludes the air, which is necessary to the healthy growth of plants. Plants die from drowning as well as animals, though they die more slowly. , Air exerts both chemical and mechanical action on the soil. These actions are found to increase from year to year in tiled lands. Tile drains are more efficient after twenty years' use than they were at first. Tile drainage has removed the unsightly ponds and swamps formerly so common in this region, but its mission is just begun. It will yet improve our water supply, teach us to make better roads, and add to the prosperity of the rural population inlways now ud thought of. I he afternoon session was opened with a paper on "The Advancement of Our State Association." The writer held that the objects of the association were two-fold pecuniary and social. He thought that both ends would be obtained by a free and fnll discussion of all matters before the society. If a person wants information he ought to ask for it boldly, and if he has any information to impart he ought to impart it boldly. Every member oucht to prepare himself for the nncual meetings by noting all matters of intjjrest and investigating their causes as fully.as possible. It would be well also for a committee, to assign to each member some eertain subject to investigate and report the results to the next ' meeting. It would also be found valuable, for -members to form the habit of communicating their observations to some agricultural or drainage paper. After a discussion of this paper and an interesting discussion of methods of drying tile, a paper prepared by D. W. Dame, of Lanark, III., was read by Mr. T. A. Randall, of the Clav Worker, The subject was "The Effects of Tile Drainage in Seasons of Drought." Beginning with the proposition that the surface of the earth consisted of 73 per cent water and 27 per cent, land, he maintained that the principal part of the rainfall must necessarily come from the oceans, and therefore tile drainage could have very little effect on the amount of rain-fall. During the drought of the past season it was shown conclusively that the best erops were raised on tile-drained lands. The corn grew rapidly and vigorously on such lands when on adjoining nndrained lands it scorched, and was severely injured if not entirely destroyed. In fact, under-drainage prevents the effects of drought because the roots of plants are enabled by it to penetrate to a depth at which the moisture of the earth cannot be exhausted by the dry air. Under-draicage also lengthens $he growing season for a week or ten days by permitting the air to permeate the ground and' warm it. A number of those present took part in tne discussion of tnis paper, ana every one who gave any statement of experience during the last summer testified that crops, especially corn, did better on tiled ground than on that which was not drained. One member told of a tract in which the corn immediately over the drains was much larger and better than the remainder of the field. ; Samuel Cowgill, of Summitville, Ind., addressed the meeting on "Burning Tile with Natural Gas." He said he found a great deal of difficulty when he first began using natural gas for fuel, but it was due to not. understanding how to use it He tried "mixers," but found they would not do. The plan he now used was to turn on the gas pure with plenty of draught. It used to take three weeks to dry for the kilo, but with gas be could do it in three days, and .with less loss than by the old method, it took a little longer time to burn, but tne tile are more evenly and thoroughly burned. Ha used to nav $7 a kiln for wood burning. Gas burning cost but $3 a kiln, there being much less. work' and much less watching required. :,. The meeting concluded with a "question bos' . that is, members suomittea questions on auy matters on which tbey wished information, 'aad these were read and considered by the meet- , ing. - ;. SUICIDE OP A DESERTER. A Young Man, Fearing Arrest, Swallows a Dose of Strychnine and Dies. Oliver P. Morton Card well, a young man disappointed in love, and fearing arrest as a deserter from the United States army, committed suicide yesterday, at noon, by swallowing a quarter's worth of strychnine. Two months ago he .returned from the West, where he had been on duty as a soldier, and he admitted to some of his friends that he had deserted. He was a suitor of a girl of very tender age, but his courtship was opposed by his aunt, Mrs. Frances Ambrose, with whom he resided at No. 13S Scioto street, and by the parents of the girL For several days Cardwell has been despondent, and on one occasion remarked to bis cousin, Frank Brown, that he intended to kill himself. Yesterday morning he left home early, saying he would not return, and at noon was found staggering on West Washington street, near the State-house. He was sent to the station-nouse, and there admitted tbat he had swallowed Btrycbnine. Physicians were called, but they were unable to afford him any relief, and he died before 1 o'clock. He was but twenty years of age. They Deserve Success. One week ago Lambert & Son opened the Bates House Pharmacy, the most beautiful establishment of the kind in the West. They now keep open twenty-four hours each day, and are already enjoying a deservedly good trade. Cheap Dry Goods. A. Dickson & Co.
