The superiority of the produce of upland districts over low marshy 

 soils, ought to be sufficient, in itself, to demonstrate the utility of drain- 

 age. 



Agricultural Societies should give this important matter their fullest 

 consideration. They should award large premiums for " the greatest 

 amount of drainage," and every farmer should fully understand, that 

 the salubrity of the climate, the fertility of the soil, the condition of the 

 domestic animals, and the health of the human race, will be improved 

 by thorough draining.
