w a lerrugmous matter that choked up the pipes or 

 tiles I am sadly tormented in the same way, and find 

 my drains speedily stopped where I have not the means 

 of allowing a tolerably sharp draught. I always drain 

 as deep as I can get a fall-sometimes 4 and 5 feei- 





ng down. To tak 

 w adopt may be c 



ance of the pipes being stopped up. At one end of a 



8t.fr wire, about 35 yards long, there is a wooden egg 



(small enough to go up the drain) that is pushed up. 



n step 35 yards, and dig down, take up a 



hold of the egg-shaped piece of wood, 



having t,ea a little wisp of ling to the other end of the 



wire ; it is pulled through, and effectually clears away 



every obstacle. I enclose a specimen of the roots taken
