Stephens. 106 DRAINING. operations, by running the drains across the declivity, whereby not only one hundred and fifty-three and a half roods of drains have been saved, but a perfect drainage of the field has been accomplished at less expense than the lifting of the original drains. Many other examples of the failures of drainages from the same cause might be adduced, but, from their similarity, I consider it unnecessary in this place ; I have not, however, met with any case that has not been s...uccess- ful when the drains were carried across the slope and made of sufficient dimensions, and, amongst numerous others with which I have been engaged, I shall only mention one, which not only realized every expectation that could have been formed of it, but also was drained at one-third of the expense it would have cost if it had been done by the system of furrow draining. This case was at Cleland, in Lanarkshire, the pro- perty of North Dalrymple, Esq. The field is of con- siderable extent, having a general slope to the south, and the soil is of a tenacious nature, intermixed with veins of fine sand.
