The laterals should enter the branches and mains near the

top, so that the water will be drawn out rapidly. The tile should be

laid with close joints at the top, so that the water may enter more

freely from the sides than the top. No covering other than moist soil

is needed unless there is very fine sand, when paper over the joints

will serve a good purpose. After some moist soil from the sides of the

trench has been tramped upon the tile, the trench may be filled by use

of a breaking-plow or winged scraper.
