LAY DRAIN TILE THROUGH SWAMP

Good Plan Shown Where Ground Xa So Soft as to Not Per* mit of Dicing Satis* _• factory Ditch.

It te frequently advisable to lay; drain tile through a bog or swamp where the ground is so soft as not to permit digging a satisfactory drai&i ditch. By driving stakes in the ground and laying a one-inch board on the tops of them, and upon this laying the line of tile, a good flow of water can be secured. This tile must be laid be-

low the wet weather water level And after the land has been thoroughly drained for a year or two the tile can be removed and the stakes driven deeper, so that it rests upon solid earth. ■ ' • -
