MORE UPON DRAINING.
The importance of the subject of
under-draining must be our excuse
?or so often referring to it. And
fnrther it is certainly a fa-t that by
constantly presenting the subject
is the only way to secure final
action upon it.
We find in the Prairie Farmer
the following, which is so pertinent
and convincing that we give it
place: lo relieve a cultivated
cod from saturation with
water is
so obvious a matter that no person
Avill fail to appiehend its purpose,
an;! approve it ; but this is not the
onlv purpose of drainage, nor, in-!
deed, the ultimate rne. Water, of
itself, can do but little harm to the
soil. It may, for the time being,
suspend the function of the roots
in collecting plant food from the ;
on, urn ine-cnii'i aarm oi sarura-1
tion is the exclusion of the air. If! thermometer thfs morning- regis
ii, i u i ' tcred 'M deg. befow. Katlnsr too
tne w iter be removed bv a lower ,vw--
exit, the air will follow it from
above, filling the space as the
water vacates it. It is not our
purpose today to discuss the ques
tion of how the presence of air
inflects the roots of growing plants.
Suffice it to say that the presence
of air is necessnry to the healthy
performance of life functions,
whether in animals or vegetables.
Death from drowning is not so
much from the presence of water
as from the exclusion of air.
Though death from drowning does
not follow as rapidly in vegetables
as in animals, yet it follows as cei
lainly, and from the same cause
the exclusion of air. Even
"where there is no saturation to
remove, the presence of air in the
soil ha an important function to
perform in placing the elements of
plant food, as they exist in the
soil, in an available form for ab-1
sorption by the roots of growing j
crps. Apart from its chemical j
action on the organic and mineral
matter in the soil, air exerts
important chemical action. It
breaks up the cohesion of strong
clays, and disposes them to
crumble and become friable am?
loose. This effect, which at first
is confined to the imrne liate vicin
ity of the tile, is extended year by
year, in some soils more rapid y
than in other, but in all to a very
appreciable extent. A tile drain,
properlv constructed, is more effi- j
ipnt aftpr twentv vears' use than !
cient alter iw eni ears use uian
it was at the beginning. This IS j
ot, imnnrti rf r.rnaiil Amtion frr !
- - " . '
progress in agriculture aims to
make every advance permanent.
When a drain is made of good tile,
properly laid, and the subsoil well
aerified, the work is done for the
present and coming generations."
These facts onlv add more
weight and explanation to the
ones that we gave a few days ago
upon the subject, and they appeal
-with convincing force to the agri
culturists of this valley. The sub
ject must have proper and perma
nent attention if our farmers wish
for continued future success. It is
an absolute necessity in the Wil
lamette vallev.
' A iull has been submitted to
Congress authorizing the entry of
all railroad lands within railroad
and wagon road grants and indem
nity limits to those settling or oc
cupying and improving previous to
restoration with the expectation of
purchasing from the railroad or
wagon road company, and permit
ting homestead or pre-emption
entry at $1.25 per acre, and if the
applicant shall be disqualified to
enter under these laws, then the
right to purchase as cash entry at
Hi .25 per acre. It also provides
tlhot- in oiud u-linrA imrtluK ll!ivincr!
T " " 7 ,
pievious to restoration, purchased
limits at $2.50 per acre, they shall
be entitled to a rebate or repair
pient of the same in excess of $1.25
per acre.
Chicago must have taken a vir- j

When Chicago goes to interfering
with the business of lawyers in
that manner, what may we expect
next?
Ii is said that Prof. McPhee, of
Boston, who sought for health in
Honolulu,found it, and also a dusky
maiden of royal descent who cap
tured his heart, and whom he
proceeded to capture and take
back to Boston with him, to th
edification of the curious society
people of the "Hub."
The Alta discourses thusly:
"This country sadly needs a mer
chant a arine. There is bound to
be a general European war before
long and merchandise in transit bv
sea will seek the protection of a
neutral flag. The prospects are
that ours will lie the only flag of !
that kind and we need more ships
to fly it. We would advise the
capitalists of this city, as a better
business than cornering wheat, to
j order built a gooi fleet of first-class
j ships. One yeara charter under
I the rates forced by the stress of
j war will nearly pay for a ship."
To all of which we say "just so,"
I with a mental reservation as to
j any European war, if ship build-
nig can le induced by such talk.
