Land Washing.

ONE of the greatest objections to our
farming operations in this country is the
tendency of our rich soil to wash off and
rapidly deteriorate in fertility. Another
misfortune is the indifference with which
many farmers treat this important sub
ject. 1t is plain to any observing mind
that field of rich, fertile soil will yield
double the amount of one that has been
thus neglected and suffered other NAL.
practices. l have in my mind now the
case of so.called farmer who allowed an
old roadway, q quarter of mile in length,
to wash so deep that plow could hardly
cross it. when ten minutes work with a
spade would have prevented it. And
often We see large, impossible bitches
form through valuable land, with no
effort to stay the fearful waste. This, with
fearful force, verif1es the old saying, "A
stitch in time saves nine."
A few hints in regard to remedies are
in order. First, the land can be plowed
so as to help the case by running the fur
rows crosswise of the rills l prefer to
have the water flow in straight rills at reg
ular intervals, and to prevent these from
washing deeper pack corn-stalks, large
green weeds, fine straight brush, etc., in
the bottom, and allow the grass and
weeds to grow in these bitches. Thus the
water has something to wear on, and
with little care much soil can thus he
saved. But the best manner to preserve
the fertility of the soil is, as any intelli-
gent farmer knows, to seed down to grass,
especially clovers, not forgetting the i'm
portance of the proper use of MANURE
Oor Western Farmer.

A Mother Dies of Grief.

AN indianapolis gentleman, who came
in from Charlottesville last evening, gives
the particulars of the death of lady in
that city Sunday night under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. A few nights
since the ticket Office of the L., G. s. S. w
r. r. was robbed of a large number OF
tickets. An employe saw the thieves as
they were escaping and recognized one
of them as a lad by the name Of O'Neil-
Michael, he thought his first name was
and as soon as the robbery was discov-
cred lodged the information with the
authorities. On Sunday night warrant
for the boys arrest was placed in the
hands Of couple of policemen, who pro-
ceeded without delay to the residence OF
his parents and made known the nature
of their Grand.
The mother, q woman about forty years
OF age, and mother Of six children, one
Of whom was babe, when she heard the
story, vehemently denied that her boy
