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.

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. (Jroly (Jenny June.)
* * "I have had several years' experi
ence with a Grover A Baker Machine, which
has given me great satisfaction. 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. Ste
phen 11. Tyng.
* "I find fhe Grover A Baker stitch
will wear as long as the garments do —out-
wear the garment, in fact. 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. Association.
* "I have had an opportunity of ex
aminine and using other varieties of machines:
but i very much prefer the Grover A Baker
stitch, for strength, elasticity, and beauty. I
have seen no other machine so simple in its
construction, so easily understood and kept
in order."—Mrs. E. D. Sanborn. St. Louis.

For DEHP-V and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS
they should he taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For SI PPRjiSeION a largo dose sh uld be ta

As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS
to prcmote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose cumulates the stomach and
bowels info healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Henee it is often
advantageous where no serious derangement
'tis. One who feels tolerably well, often finds '
that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decided
ly better, from their cleansing and rei. i atingof
feet on the digestive apparatus.

so severe, that during all that time I bad not one
of comfortable sleep. I could not put my
j hands to my face, could not comb tav own hair,
nor feed myself: but after having the Pain Curo
applied once, I found relief enough to give me
comfortable sleep, and with its steady use, I con
tinued to get better, and now at the end ot ten

tively free use of my hands, sleep well and can
to
than all other medicines I have evii used put
