From the New York Tribune. WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING. *r HOBACF. GREELEY. X.—Draining— my Own. iSy (arm is in the township of Newcastle, Westchester County, X. Y., 35 mile? from our City Haiti ami a little eastward of tbe hamlet known as Chs.ppuqua, called into ex istence by a station on the Harlem Railroad- It embraces the south-easterly half of the marsh which the Railroad here traverses from south to north—my part measuring some fifteen acres, with five acres more of slightly elevated dry land between it aud the foot of the rather rugged hill which rises thence on the east and on tbe south, and of which 1 now own some fifty acres lying wholly east ward of my low land, and in good part covered with forest. Ot this, I bought more than half in 1863, and tbe residue in bits from time to time as I coold afford it. Ihe nieragc coft was between SIBO and $l4O per acre: one small and poor ola cottage beiug tbe only building I found on the tract, which consisted of the ragged edges ot two adjacent farms between the western portions of which mine is now interposed, while they still ad oin each other beyond the north and south road half a mile from tho railroad on which their buildit.gs are located and which forms my eastern boundary. My stony, gravelly upland mainly slopes to the west: but two acres on my east line incline toward the road which bounds me in that direction, while two more on my south-east corner descend to the little brook which, entering at that corner, keeps irregularly near my south line, until it emerges, neltcj by a smaller runnel that en ters my lowland frotr the north and traverses it to meet find pass off with the larger brook let aforesaid. I have done some Jraiuing, to no great purpose, on the more level portions of rov upland: but my lowland has challenged my best efforts in this line, and I shall here explain them for the encouragemenl and possible guidance of novices in draining. Lei me speak first of. My Difficulties. —This marsh or bog con sisted, when 1 first grappled with it, of some thirty acres, whereof I tbeD owned less than a third. To drain it to advantage, one per sen should own it all or the different owners should co-operate; but I hud to go it alo*e. with no other aid than a freely accorded privilege of straightening as well as deepening the brook which wouud its way through the dryer meadow just below me, forming here the boundary of two adjacent farms. I spent on this job, which is still imperfect; but the first decided fall in the stream occurs nearly a mile below me; and you tire easily of doing at your own cost work which bene fits several others as much as yourself. My drainage will never be perfect till this brook, with that far larger one in which it is merged sixty rods bslow me, shall have been sunk three or four feet at a further expense of at least $-300 This bog or swamp, when I first bought it, was mainly dedicated to the uses of frogs, muakrats aud snapping turtles. A few small water-elms aud soft maples grew upon it, with swamp alder partiy fringing the wes tern base of the hill east of it, where the rocks which bad, through thousands of years, rolled from the hill, thickly covered the sur f. i-e, with springs bubbling np around and among them. Decaying stumps aud imbed ded fragments of trees argued that timber formerly covered this marsh as well as the encircling hills. A tall, dense growth of blackberry briars, thoroughwort. and all man ner of swamp weeds and grasses, covered the center of the swamp each Summer; but my original portion of it , being too wet for these, was mainly addicted to hassocks or tussocks ot wiry, worthless grass: their matted roots rising in hard bunches a few inches above the soft, bare encircling mud. The bog ranged in depth from a few inches to five or six feet, and was composed of black, peaty, vegetable mold, diversified by occasional streaks of clay Or sand, all resting on a substratum of hard, coarse gravel, out of which two or three springs bubbled up, in addition to the half a dozen which poured in from the east, and a tiDy rivulet which (except iu a very dry, hot time) added the tribute of three or four more which srrung from the base of a higher shelf of the hill near the middle of what is now my farm. Add to these that the brook which i rawled and foamed down my hill side near my south line as aforesaid, had brought along an immensity of pebbles and gravel of which it had mainly formed my five acres of drier lowland, had thus built up a petty swale, whereon it had tho had habit of filling up one channel' and then cutting another, more de vious and eccentric, if possible, than any of H3 predecessors—and you have some idea of the obstacles 1 encountered and resolved to overcome. One of my first substantial im provements wa-j the cutting of a straight channel for this current and, by walling it with large stones, compelling the brook to respect necessary limitations. It was not my fault that same ol :hose Atones were set nearly upright, so as to veneer tbe brook rather than thoroughly constrain it: hence some of the tones, undermined by strong currents, v ere pitched loiwiard into the brook by high Spring freshets, to eg to require resetting more carefully. This was a mistake, but uot one of My Blunders. —These, the natural result of iuexperieDee and haste, were very grave. Not only hud 1 had no real experience in draining when f began, but I could hire no foreman who knew much more of it than I did. I ought to have begun by securing an ample and sure fall where the watw left toy land, and next cut down the brooklet or open ditch into which I intended to drain to the lowest practicable point—so low, at least, that no drain running into it should ever be troubled with back water. Nothing can be more use less than a drain in which water stagnates, choking it with mud. Then I should have bought hundreds of Hemlock or other cheap boards, slit them to a width of four or five inches, and, having opened the needed drains la.d these in the bottom and the tile there upon, taking care to break joint by covering the meeting ends of two boards with the mid die of a tile. I-aying tile in the soft mud of a bog, with nothing beneath to prevent their sinking, is simply throwing away labor and money. I cannot wonder that tile draining seems to many a humbug, seeing that so many tile are laid so that they can never do any good. Having, by successive purchases, become * vner of fully half of this swamp, and by re peated blunders discovered that making stone drains in a bog, while it is a capital mode of i,tt!:ng rid of the stone, is no way at all to make drains Icloscd my series of experiments two years since by carefully relaying my gen trully useless tile on good strips of board, sinking them just as deep as I could persuade the water to run off freely and, instead of al lowing them to discharge into i brooklet or open ditch, connecting each with a covered mam of four to six-iuch tile; these mains dis chargu.g into the running brook which drains an my farm and three or four of those above it just where it runs swiftly off from mv l aj J. If a thaw or heavy rain swells the brook - as it sometimes will) so that it rises above my out let aforesaid, the .--troug currant formed by the concentration of the clear content* of so many drains w ill not allow the muddy water of the brook to back into it so many as three feet at most, and any uiud or sedimeul that may be deposited there will be swept out clean when ever rhe brook shah have fallen to the drain age level, For this and simular excellent de vices. I sci indebted to the capital engineer. _ ; ing and thorough execution of Messrs. Chick- j ering A Gall, whose work on my place has j seldom required mending, and never called i for reconstruction. My Success. —I judge that there are not j many tracts more to drain than mine ; was, considering at! the circumstances, ex cept those which are frequently flowed by tides or the waters of some lake or river. Had f owned the entire swamp, or had there been a. fall in the brook just below me, had 1 had any prior experience iu draining, or had others equally interested cooperated in the good work, m task would have been com paratively light. As it was, 1 made mistakes which increased the cost and postponed the success of my efforts; but this is at length complete. I bad seven acres of Indian Corn, one of Corn Fodder, two of Oats, and seven or eight acres of Grass on my lowland in 161'.): and, though the Spring monihs were quite rainy, and the latter part of Summer rather dry, my crops were all good. I did not see better iD Westchester Con >ty; aud I shall be quite content with as good hereafter. Of my seven hundred bushels of Corn (cars,! I judge that two thirds would be accounted fit for ' seed anywhere: my Grass was cut twice and yielded one large crop and another heavier than the average first crop through out our State. My drainage will require tome care henceforth: but the fifteen acres I have reclaimed from utter uselessnesj and obstruction are decidedly the best part of my farm. piscclUnumis. QUOVKK k BAKER'S SEW I N G MA C MINES. The following are selected from thousauds of testimonials of similar character, as ex pressing the reasons for the preference for the O nor en A BAKEK Machines over a'i others. * * "1 like the Grover A Baker Machine, in the first plaae, becanse, if 1 had any other I should still want a Grover A Baker; and, having a Grover A Baker, it answers the pur pose of all the rest. It does a greater variety of work and it is easier to learn than any oth er."— Mrs. J. C.

I think the Grover A Baker Machine is more easily mau j aged, and less liable to get out of order. I I prefer the Grover A Baker, decidedly."— | Mrs. Dr. Watts, Sac York. | * * "I have had one in my family for some two years: and from what I know of its workings, and from the testimony of many of my friends who use the same, I can hardly -ee how anything could be more complete or give better satisfaction." — Mrs. Gen. Grant. * * ''l believe it to be the best, all things ; considered, of any that I have known. It is very simple and easily learned: the sewing from the ordinary spools is a great advan tage, the slick is entirely reliable: it does or namental work "beautifully: it is not liable to get out of order." — Mrs. A. M. Spooner, 36 Bond Street, Brooklyn. * ° "I am acquainted with the work of the principal machines: and I prefer the Gro- I vf r A Baker to them all, because I consider | the stitch more elastic. I have work now in ' she bouse which was done nine years ago, ! which is still good."— Mrs. Dr. llcCreaay, j So. -13 East 20a street, Sew York. * * "More than two-tbirds of all the. sewing done in my family for the last two years has been done by Grover A Baker's Machine, and I never had a garment rip or need mending, except those rents w v ich frolicsome bojs will make in whole cloth. It is in my opinion by far the most valuable of any I have tried." — Mrs. Henry Ward Betcher. * * "The Grover A Baker Sewing Ma chine has rendered in every respect the most perfect satisfaction. It combines so many advantages with beauty of execution and economy in price that it is a necessity in ev ery household."— Mrs. Governor Geary, liar risburgh, Pa. * * "I have had the Grover A Baker Machine for ten or twelve years in constant use in my house. I have seen and known every kind of family sewing, both personal and household, accomplished upon the Gro vei A Baker Machine to the entire satisfac tion of all who were concerned."— Per.

The stitch will not break on bias seams, when stretched, as others do: and neither does it draw the work." Mrs. Dr. Whiting . 4 East 24 th street, Sew York. * "We have a Grover A Baker Sewing Machine for seven years in constant use, hemming, felling, tucking, and everything that the fingers can do. It is preferred over all others on aecountof its durability of work, elasticity and strength of stitcb, ease of move ment, and simplicity of construction."— Mrs. General Duel. * "There could be no greater com fort in a family than a Grover A Baker Sew ing Machine. I have used one for the last nine or ten years, and I think it is decidedly the best family Sewing Machine."— Mrs.Alive E. WMppL . wife of Per. Dr. Whipple, See. Am. Miss.
