to be our first landing place. This is a poor fishing 
station, at which we stopped for two hours for 
wood. 
The fine afternoon, the bracing air of the bay, 
and the consciousness that after all our delays we 
were fairly on our voyage, kept our company in the 
best of spirits. All incontinently rushed ashore to 
treeless mountains on the north, which seemed to 
frown like the frontier barricade of thc realm of | 
barrenness and frost. 
At 11 A. M. we reached another Indian village 
called Manitou-aw-ning, the seat of an Indian 
agency, and formerly the place for the annual 
meeting of the natives to receive presents from the

here were the natural terraces formed in the loose manners. The village is situated on a high, 
pebbly shale by a succession of old lake margins, 
rising to the height of twenty or thirty feet in the 
distance of a few rods. This is a phenomenon 
which we afterwards frequently met with, showing 
that within a comparatively recent period consid-

ROTES FROM YOUNG RURALISTS. 
Wn give another instalment of notes from our 
[ young friends, and we are pleased, as all our read- 
| ers will be, that they are becoming of a more prac¬ 
tical character. We like those articles that either 
impart or seek information. 
DRAINING. 
Eds. Rural: —As the attention of many of tlie 
farmers of this section is turned towards the sub¬ 
ject, of draining, permit me to inquire through 
your paper of you, or some of your readers, con¬ 
cerning tile draining. Is it the best method of 
draining, if not what is? What is the heat method 
of laying tile? Our drains are mostly made of 
small stones, which work very well for a time, but 
owing to the mice, or some other cause, they in a 
few years get clogged. I have one which I intend 
to take up in the sping, and laydown tiles. Would 
it he advisable to replace the stones directly around 
ihe tiles, or would there be danger of crushing them 
on account, of some sharp point coming in direct 
contact with it? By answering the above ques¬ 
tions you will oblige — Young Agkicola, Plants- 
ville, Conn., Feb., 1858. 
On the subject of draining, we give, on our first 
page, a very interesting discussion, by the members 
of the London Farmers’ Club, to which we refer 
Young Agricola, for much valuable information. It 
would be well to place the stone taken from the 
old drain over and around the tiles. Put the smal¬ 
lest nearest the tile, and pack them around nicely 
and they will not injure the tile. 
FARMING. 
Eds. Rural: — T have often thought of writing a 
few words for the Young Ruralist, but when I look¬ 
ed at the small amount of room allotted to that de¬ 
partment, I thought that anything 1 might say 
would only crowd out something of more impor¬ 
tance. But now that our editor has given more 
room, and pledged his word that the column devoted 
to the young shall not, he disturbed, I shall be glad 
to say a word onee in a while, if not. quite so smart. 
What I would like to speak about now is Farming. 
As there lias been a great deal said about farm¬ 
ing, I don’t know as it, will be of any use for me to 
say anything. But I should like to tell what I 
tliinlc about it. It, is a good business if well follow¬ 
ed; but every ono can’t be a farmer, that’s certain.

How would the farmer prosper if it was not for the

would his newspaper come from if it was not for 
the editor? Poor chance, I think, for a person to 
build on that ground.
