After many years of patient labor and investigation into 
the fundamental laws governing the rat)vements of the 
waters upon and beneath the soil. Mr. Cole has discovere«l 
a system of subsurface drainage and irrigation, bv which 
the most wonderful results have been produced. ’ 
He ;mtly calls it “Tlie New Agriculture.” Concisely 
stated 3lr. Cole's system has the following advantages as 
compared with the methods of agriculture now in general 
use; 
1st. Cerial crops are increased more than four fold. 
2d. Tlie size, flavor and enhanced production of fruits 
and vegetables are in proportion as five to one 
under the old systems. 
3d. Vegetation of all' kinds is rendered absolutelv free 
from diseases, more especially from that a'rl.'ilng 
from fungoid infection. 
4th. The ground worked under this new system bein'' 
measurably impervious to fro.st. the producing 
season Is prolonged from forty to sixty days, 
otb. It creates a rich, moist and loamy soil out of the 
most unpromising Iiarrlpan. 
6th. It prevents the washing of surface soils from hillside 
farms during heavy ruins. 
7th, Drought Is efpictually provided against.
