To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It generally yields from 12 to 20 per cent. In not a few instances I have known the total cost repaid by the first crop, and I do not know of a single case of efficiently-executed drain- age, under proper subsequent management, having proved unsuccessful. I have said, under proper subsequent management, as it must be admitted, that there are farmers, who, by supposing that drained land can be tilled at all times, plough it into a sort of mortar, and continue the absurd practice of plough- ing w...ith four horses " a-head, " and thus, by making them all tread over the same furrow bed, form a puddled stratum, impervious to roots, air, or water, which neutralises the effects of drainage. Happily the steam cultivator will remedy this evil, and, so far from being a barrier, will prove a powerful auxiliary to drainage. As a rule, drainage executed by farmers is unsuccessful ; and in nine cases out of ten, where landowners contribute pipes, and tenants labour, both labour and material are thrown away.
