Now, soil that is worked so as to be
porous. admits free circulation of the ex-
ternal air: and on the principal mentioned.
the moisture of this air must be constant
lv condensed on the cooler surfaces.
Everybody has noticed that the compact
soil OF a clay road is much warmer at the
surface than that of surrounding fields.
Grass or any green growing crop is evap-
Grating moisture. and the surface Of this
vegetation is cooler than the air, and this
causes the dew to be deposited much
more heavily on the grass than on the
bare earth. We leave an air space be-
tween two walls to prevent the conduc-
ton OF cold or heat into the interior OF
the building. and when the walls cannot
be made tight we fill the space with saw
dust or other porous substance. and this
prevents the conduction of heat in sum-
mer, and the building will keep ice or be
come a cool milkroom or a preservatory
for fruit.
Thus the working of the soil in dry.
hot time fills it with these air spaces, and

have always found mulch of sawdust or
cut straw complete protection to Young
trees from drouth-much better than any
amour, of watering when set. This opens
question OF great interest, and this is
offered as an explanation of the good
effects of frequent workings of the soil in
a drv time and of the similar effects of
