It led through a wide, flat valley terminating at the Dead Sea; a valley through which the waters of the Dead Sea were supposed at one time to have flowed towards the Red Sea. This hypothesis was shared by Burckhardt and many others who had only seen the district from a distance, and who attributed the cessation of the drainage to an upheaval of the soil.
How shallow a soil will suit orange trees depends upon how water and fertilizer are applied; on a shallow soil more fertilizer and more frequent use of water in smaller quantities. Any soil which has grown good grain crops may be used for orange growing if the moisture supply is never too scant and any excess is currently disposed of by good drainage.
The road stops in the middle of the bog when the money is out." "But," I said, "surely it would be better if the money were spent upon permanent improvements, on drainage, for instance." The boy did not answer; he called to his horse, and I had to press him for an answer. "There's no fall, sir." "And the bog is too big," I added, in hope of encouraging conversation. "Faith it is, sir."
He had held very numerous preferments, including no less than five archdeaconries, and was Master of the Rolls. He was made Lord Chancellor in the same year that he was appointed to Ely.

At twelve months old, from seed, a tree will have a stem-diameter of about 3/4-inch, and a height of 3 to 4 feet, a growth about twice that made in the Southern States. The general remarks I have given respecting our fruit soils apply with equal force to those best adapted for citrus culture viz., they must possess perfect drainage, and be of a friable nature.
It sounds nice, I think; at any rate, it is worth seeing about. 'Do you like old-fashioned cottage residences? said Clare very dubiously; 'they always remind me of rotten floors, rats and mice, and damp musty rooms. I hate modern villas, retorted Gwen, 'with gimcrack walls and smoky chimneys and bad drainage! This has an old-world sound.
On the other hand, if the spring is on the same level or lower than the house, a pump must be added to the equipment to force the water into the pressure tank and out of the faucets. If the spring has a large flow and adequate drainage, a water ram is advisable. With this hydraulic machine, three-quarters of the water that flows into it is used to force the balance into the storage tank.
