TOLBERT, ARen. "Tile, the Createst Labor-Saving Machine of the Age." Tu the Militar of TheChiemjo TrUrune. Dwioht, 111., March 16.- One of the : and m mí convineing facts that I have yet with regard to tile drainage is brought out the December report of the Apricultural Depart ment of Illinois. It is this: ACttEAGK. ereaee in corn in Iivingston County, 18817. 288.-W Acreaee in i'orn la Logan County, 1881. . 140,86!) Livingston over Logan 1527,738 YIELD. Yield of -.orn in Livingston County, 1881. .6,988,822 Vield of eorn in Logan County, 1882 .. ..5,070,91 Livingston over Logau 1,903,688 In other words. Logan County has raised near ly as mucb corn on 140,859 aeres as Livingston county bis on 288,597 acras. Put it in another form, the farmers in Livingston County have been obliped to plow nearlv doublé the aereage of land (268,S97), and have raised but a very small percentage of increase of corn over tiieir brethern in Logan County. who only had to plow 140,8ii) acres. Let us give it another twist! A A farnicrwho lias lus land well tilled need only woik eighty acres of land and grow just about as mueh corn as the man who plows 160 and lakes all the risks of drouth and much betidf s. 1 1 is uot f air, then, to conclude that the greatest labor-saving machine to-day of the age is the tile drain? From the same souree of inrormation I gather the following as regards the progress ol tile-draiuage in these two counties: Feet. Total number of f eet laid in Livingston County uptolSSl 1,140,798 Total number of feet laid in Logan County upto 1881 :.3,!9,46ïl Thistable provea beyoi dall theory that oniiiK to the f ree use of tile that one county has heen ftbtetoproduoeneariya rauc'i corn on 1-10,00(1 acres ofland as another county has produced upon 20S (HUI iicres.which is nearly doublé, and tl, e beauty of the whole is that it was done witi half the work! Mr. Editor, suppose a kind Provi denceshould lengt-hen out the spin of our days until we saw Illinois thoroughly tile-drained. irhere would be put the corn that this State would produce, and what would we do with our "silver dollars?'
