THE FIELD. 
[Saturday, 
l*m afeard,” responded lh« ex-whippcr in, attain slink- 
ing his head, “ that os high farming goes on, fox-hunting 
will be reduced to stag-hunting. Tliat’s my o-plnion;” — and 
Tom I’itts snapped a finger and thumb, by way of a sum- 
mons for the old hound, comfortably lying with outstretched 
limbs upon the hearth, to throw off Ills lethargy. 
Reluctantly, it must he confessed, Vanquisher rose in 
obedience to the mandate, nnd stood witli a solemn inquiring 
gaze looking at his master. 
•• We ure old, lad — worn out — bat together nt what tnu6t 
be not far off the finish,” said Tom, stroking Vanquisher's 
head with a fondness which was universally believed to 
have no other object to share it ; “ and as ivo were in our 
prime, so I hope we may be until our who-wlioop is given. 
You wero the best I ever saw entered, and better was never 
bred." 
“ Was his — his — his legs always ?vjylher crooked ?" 
asked tho wheelwright, still evidently conscious of the deli- 
cacy of the ground for interrogating so sensitive an autho- 
rity as Tom I’itts. 
“Crooked!" repented tho ex-whipper-in, with an unusual 
fire glistening beneath his shaggy brows. ” Wus this hair 
always white d’ye think ?" continued he, pointing to the thin 
row which fringed his head like swnnsdown. “ No, no ; 
not a point was wrong in his shnpe. Straight legs, round 
feet, good loin, head and neck like n picture, quarter let 
down, high-set stern, and the kill-devil colour the vurmint 
badger-pied. That’s what Vanquisher was : time and work, 
and well-done duty, have left him us lie is;” — and as lie con- 
cluded the sentence, Tom Pitts extended an open bund in 
silence towards his favourite, as much as to add, “ Behold the 
grey ruin of beauty !” 
At this point the conversation, after one of those awkward 
flagging pauses which will arise in the very best society, took 
the abrupt turn of an acute angle, and a local subject, replete 
with intense interest, concerning the coming election of way- 
warden for the parish, was loudly if not ably discussed for 
one mortal hour beyond the usunl time fixed by Mistress 
Box for closing the business of the day. 
Bit was remarked, nevertheless, that John Brown, the 
dairyman, not only was the last to leave; but, after all the 
others had taken their departure, was some time finding 
his hat as he said. 
(To be continued.) 
AGRICULTURAL TALK. 
The next meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society will 
take place this summer in the city of Lincoln, and it is to 
be hoped and expected that the situation of that city, com- 
bined with the general prosperity of tho agricultural com- 
munity, will bring together a meeting of more than ordinary 
numbers ; and, above all, that the men of the curelessly 
farmed districts in the South and West will attend, and take 
the trouble to learn a few lessons from tho eminently prac- 
tical Lincolnshire farmers of the heath and the bold North. 
Lincolnshire has all the advantages over the greater part 
of other districts that a new country lias over an old country. 
Inclosed, Colonised, and cultivated within the last hundred 
years, and most actively cultivated within the lust forty 
years, the farmers had less to unlearn and less to undo. 
Although the county was not new to us, yet, in u recent 
tour, alter some time spent in the midst of the wretchedly 
unequal agriculture to bo found in the metropolitan 
counties, we could not help being much struck by the 
admirable fertility which makes an unpicturesqne country 
interesting. Alter ridinu' for il»vs together in the South- 
West of England, among hedges and fences ns wild and 
i seized ns tho head of a ragged- school- hoy, after tumble- 
down gates and farm buildings with thatched roofs, lath and 
plas’er walls, urn-pouted, undrained — where ponds, poisoned 
I v the overflow of the essence of manure, proclaim to eye 
. and smell the miserable ignorance of landlords and tenants 
— it is a relief to get into a county where squure inclosures of 
from thirty to seventy acres, dean und clear of weeds; com- 
paci, well-arranged Turin building*; yards filled with good 
stock, sheep thriving on turnips and cake ; labourers active, 
industrious, well fed, and well paid, betoken the results of 
enterprise and intelligence. 
Lincolnshire is well provided with railroads, which inter- 
sect the fen district, the heat li distric t, and the wold district 
from Lincoln and l’eterbnro’, Oil the one side, to where the 
Humber forms the boundary of the two great producing 
counties, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, on the other. Our 
Southern friends cannot do better than spend a week, after 
the Lincoln show, in exploring the farms to the North, 
where they must be equally pleu>ed with the hospitality of 
the agriculturists and the progress of agriculture. 
The winter season has been actively occupied In draining 
operations. The tile kilns cannot supply the material fust 
enough, where great red heaps at one end of a field give 
notice of the meaning of the labours of tho men whoso 
heads are just 6een popping up and down in the deep drains. 
Lincolnshire is a great hunting county, and those who 
ride hard get the benefit of better ground to gallop on, of 
which they have need when they come to clear the deep and 
broad outfall ditches which border the rouds. 
Amin g all the best farmers occupying land needing 
drainage, deep drainage is no longer a disputed question. 
Wo h»d an opportunity of seeing some very good work in 
course of execution by u tenant, a spirited improver, acting 
under the confidence inspired by a three years’ lease, based 
on Lincolnshire tenant-right. Ho was at work on about 
six hundred acres, the landlord finding the tilea, the tenant 
the work. The plan hud been well prepared by a previous 
survey. The outfuil ditches had been cleared, and in some 
instances long circuits hud been avoided by constructing 
culverts uniting the ditches on each side of a highway. In 
each field, none of less than a square thirty-two acres, a 
brick tank, about a yard square, afforded an opportunity of 
examining the condition of the drains. 
The depth of the drains varied from four feet to four feet 
six incites, but wus in tio caso less than four feet ; the dis- 
tance apart of each drain from eight to nine yards— in ex- 
treme cases of very pervious soil, ten yards. The super- 
intendence was left to a well-trained foreman. The tiles 
were pipes of from one inch and a quarter to one and a half, 
with collars. In certain instances, where there was a diffi- 
culty in getting collars, horse-shoe tiles and soles, of u 
superior make, were employed. 
Now all this is mere A B C to experienced drainers. 
Those who have paid attention to the subject know perfectly 
well that there i* no money so well laid out, so soon repaid 
to landlord and tenant ; but in order that tho money so laid 
out may not he UKally wa-led, the following points must be 
orserved firstly, the drains must be not less than four feet 
deep ; secondly, they murt not be too far apart; thirdly, the 
outfalls must bo clear and sufficient; fourthly, the work 
must be woll executed. Faults buried under four feet of 
. lay are rather difficult to discover, however obvious the 
effects. 
Now this is a serious point, and affects both landlords and 
renant6. Sometimes the landlord finds tho tiles, and the 
eiinnt does the work in such a manner, that the tiles might 
I ust as well have been shot down at one corner of a field as 
monuments of draining failures ; in other cases tho landlord 
undertakes to do the whole work, charging his tenant four 
per cent. ; und, for want of knowledge or care, the whole 
concern turns out a total failure. 
It is tho opinion of a very competent judge, thnt hundreds 
of thousands of pounds huve been wasted in underdrainage 
on false principles or of faulty execution. 
We repeat, with great confidence, a suggestion made some 
time since in “The Field," viz., that the theory of 
druining ought to he taught as a piece of useful knowledge 
in our rural schools. Ignorance impedes agricultural 
knowledge at every step. 
At the Gloucester meeting of the Royal Agricultural 
Society, if. will be remembered that the experiment wns 
made of appointing a jury iu each class of animals, with 
power to disqualify such as seemed to them, from over-fat- 
ness, unfit for breeding purposes. That such a regulation was 
needed, and is needed, there can bo no doubt. It is notorious 
that exhibitors of breeding stock, after a show, are frequently 
obliged to resort to a course of physic and exercise for many 
weeks, in order to get the animals into breeding condition. 
At Gloucester the juries made some mistakes; one sow, dis- 
qualified for over- fatness, a few weeks nfierwards gave birth 
to a large litter, and some eminent breeders refused to ex- 
hibit nt all. 
Under these circumstances, we are glad to be able to give 
the following opitomo of an eminent breeder, as gathered 
from a letter he wrote on the subject some years since. 
“ Persons of moderate means possessing first-rate stock 
are deterred from showing, because they cannot afford to 
feed, and also to lose the use of the animal while being 
reduced. 
“ The fatting system practically leaves the competition in 
the hands of a few gentlemen of fortune, who have a fancy 
for winning a prize; or in some who may speculate on 
having a public sale of stock, whose chief qualification shall 
be their fatness. 
“ Many instances are known of animals bought in order to 
be fed up to gain prizes ostensibly given fer breeding stock. 
“The only legitimate object of prizes for breeding stock 
is taking into public notico animals of value to breed from 
in consequence of superior form and character. But first- 
rate judges have been deceived by false over fat appearances, 
especially in sheep and pigs. 
“ As to restrictions on feeding, they are impossible to 
enforce; they only give rise to fraudulent evasion. Some 
persons have an opportunity of making an animal as fat on 
the natural produce of good land in grass, hay, and roots, 
as others can on poor land, with the additional help of oil 
cake, &e. You may get quality by high farming, but you 
cannot obtain tho nutritive quality which natural soils afford 
in vegetables, milk, kc.”
