Behind US the country rises steeply for two or

fountains at every door, and water the slopes of

when it rains every other daY-but be has never
practically learned (eTcept recently in California
and Colorado) the power of water upon vegeta-
tion. There are meadows here which are moved
in Winter as well as Summer-felds which pro-
duce annually eight crops of grass, and each one
equal to an average crop at home. At the foot
of our garden there is a basin in the earth, just
below one of the fountains. Into it manure of
all kinds is thrown, the basin filled with water
and frequently stirred-after which, this liquid
nourishment is let into the little ducts which
carry it to every part of the grass6eld. should
