WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING.
BY HORACE GREELEY
DRAINING-MY OWN
My farm is in the township of New
castle, Westchester county, New York,
35 miles from our City Hall, and a lit
tle eastward of the hamlet known as
Chappaqua, called into existence by a
station on the Harlem Railroad. It
embraces the south-easterly half of the
marsh which the railroad hero traver
ses from south to north—my part
measariog dome fifteen acres, with five
acres moro; Of slightly elevated dry
lndlietween it and the foot of the
rather rugged bill which rises thence
on the cast and on the south, and of
which•l-now- own some - fifty acres ly
log wholly eastward of my low laud,
amid in good part covered with forests.
Of this, I.hought more than half in
1853, and the residue in bits from time
to time - ai3 I:could - afford it. , iThe ave
rage cost was between $l3O and $l4O
pbrOrpi; One Itni4ll and poor old cot
thge being the only building I found
on the - tract,'whicli - consisted of the
ragged edges of two adjacent farms
between the Western portions of which
mine :is noir :interpoised, while they
still adjoin each other beyond the
north,and•south"road half a mile from
the-railroad on which their buildings
are located and which forms my east
ern,,boundary. stony, gravelly
uplandmainly slopes to the west; but
two acres on my east line incline tow
ard 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 lino, until it
emerges, swelled by a smaller runnel
that enters my lowland from the north
'and 'traverses it to meet and pass off
with the larger brooklet aforesaid. I
,have done some draining, to no great
purpose, on the more level portions of
my upland, but my lowland - has chal
longed my best efforts in this line, and
,I , ahall here explain them for the en
couragement and possible guidance of
novices - In-‘draining. Let me speak
first -of
marsh or bog
consisted, when I first grappled with
it, of some thirty acres, wheri3of I then
,ow r . 3 / 4 ed lets than athird„ _To drain it
tilffidvantage, one - Person should own
it alt or the different owners should
co-operate; :butlhad to go it alone,
with no other aid than . a freely accor
ded privilege of straightening as well
as tie:epening the brook which wound
its way.. through the dryer meadow
just below me, ,forming here the,boun
dark: &Iwo adjacent farms. ' I spent
one hundred dollars 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 benefits
Antral ethers as much as yourself.—
illy drainage will never be perfect till
this,brdok,.with that far larger ono in
ishiCh' it :is °merged . sixty -rods below
me, shall have been sunk three or four
feet at a 'further expense of - at least
five hunlited 'dollars. :
This bog or marsh, when I first
t9u,ght it, was mainly dedicated to the
in4es'mf-frogs, muskrats -and snapping
turtles. A few small water elms and
eat:Maples grow upon it, with swamp
alder.partly fringing the western base
of tho'hill east of it, whore the rocks
iihich'had,through thousandi of years,
relied from -the hill, thickly covered
the surface, with springs bubbling up
around and amonethem. Decaying
iitinnps and, imbedded 'fragments-of
trees Argued that, timber formerly cov
ered: tbia marsh as,woll'its the encir
cling -hills. A tall, dense growth of
blackberry briars . thoroughwort, and
all-panoer of - swamp weeds and gras l i
-
covered tho,:center . of the swamp
each Summer; but my original portion
Of it; being too wet for these, was main-'
ly addicted to hassocks or tussocks of
wiry,. worthless grass: their matted
'roots :rising ;in hard bunches a few in•
gibes above •the :soft, bare, encircling
mud: The - hog ranged 'in depth from
a fewinahes to five or six feet, and was
composed of black, peaty, vegetable
mold, diflitaified'by,occasionid streaks
of clay or sond,call resting on a sub
-8414511P. c!f:kiarfi i -goarso gravel, out of
Whi'cli•twP - Pi three springs bubbled
up, in addition - to the half a dozen
which poured in from the east, and a
tiny. rivulet which (except in a very
dry, hot time) added the attribute of
three or four more which sprung from
the base of a higher shelf of the hill
boar the middle of what is now my
farm. • Add to those that the brook
which brawled and foamed down my
hill-side near my south line as afore
said, 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
swain, whereon it had the bad habit
of filling up one channel, and then
cutting another, more Aevious and ec
centric, if possible than any of its pre•
decessors—and you - have some idea of
the obstacles I encountered and resol
ved to overcome. One of my first
substantial improvements was the cut
ting of a straight channel for this cur
rent and, by walling it with large
stones, compelling the brook to respect
necessary limitations. It was not my
fault that some of those stones wore
set nearly upright, so as to veneer the
brook rather than thoroughly con
strain it; hence some of
. the stones,
undermined by strong currents, were
pitched forward into the brooks by
high Spring freshets, so as to require
resetting more carefully. This was a
mistake, but not ono of
2fy Blunders.—Theso, the natural
result of inexperience and haste, were
very grave. Not only had I had no
real experience in draining when I be
gan, but I could hire no foreman who
knew much more of it than I did. I
should havehegun by securing an ample
and sure fall where the water left my
laud, and next cut down the brooklet
or open ditchen into which I intended
to drain to the lowest practicable
point—so low, at least that no drain
running into it should ever be troub
led with back water. Nothing can
be more useless 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 11, width of four or five
inches, and, having opened the needed
drains, laid these in the bottom and
the tile thereupon, taking care to
break joint by covering the meeting
ends of two boards with the middle of
a tile.
Laying the tile in the soft mud of a
bog, with nothing beneath to prevent
their sinking, is simply throwing
away labor and money. 1 cannot
wonder that tile draining seems to
many a humbug, seeing that so many
tile are lain so that they never do any
good
flaying, by successive purchases,be
come ownerof fully half of this swamp,
and by repeated blunders discovered
that making stone drains in a bog,
while it is a capita! mode of getting
rid of the stone, is no way at all to
make . drains, I closed my series of ex
periments two years since by - careful
ly relaying my generally
,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
allowing them to discharge into a
brooklet or open ditch, connecting
each with a covered main of four to
six inch tile; these mains discharging
into the running brook which drains
all my farm and three or four of those
'above it just where it runs swiftly off
from my land. If a thaw or heavy
rain swells the brook (as it sometimes
will) so that it rises above our outlet
aforesaid, the strong current formed
by the concentration of the clear con-
tents of so many drains will not'allow
the muddy water of the brdok to back
inteit so many as three feet atmoat;
and any mud or sediment that may
be deposited there will be swept out
clean whenever the brook shall have
fallen to the drainage level. For this
and similar excellent devices, I am in
debted to capital engineering and
thorough execution of Messrs. Chick
ering & Gall, whose work on my-place
has' seldom required mending, and
never called for reconstruction.
Success.—l judge that there arc
not many tracts more difficult to drain
than mine was, considering all the
circumstances, except those that are
frequently flowed by tides or the wa
ters of, some lake- or river. ;liad I
owried.the - entire'swarnp, or bad there
been a fall in the brook just below me,
had I liiid. - „tiny prior experience in
draining, - Or had others equrilly inter.
ested co-operated in the good work,
my task would have been —compara
tively light. As it was, I made mis
takes which increased the 'cost and
postponed the success of my efforts;
but, this is , tit length complete; .I had
seven acres of Indian Corn, one of
corn Fodder, two.of Oats, and seven
or eight acres of grass on my lowland
in 1869; and though the Spring
months were quite rainy, and the lat
ter part of Summer rather dry, my
crops• Were all good. I did not do
better in Westchester County; and I
shall be quite content, with as good
hereafter. Of my seven hundred bus.
of corn,(ears) I judge:that two-thirds
would be accounted fit for seed any
where; my grass was cut twice, and
yielded one large crop and another
heavier than the average first crop
throughout' our State. My drainage
will require some care henceforth, but
the fifteen acres I have reclaimed
from utter uselessness and obstruction
are decidedly the best part of my
