STONES IN SOIL.

They Serve More Than One Useful Pur-
pose, and 1t Is Not Always Wise to
Remove Them.
Some people, on every occasion when
opportunity offers, take pains to remove
all the stones they can see from the soil
in their gardens. Perhaps it might not
be too much to say that nine times in
ten, mischief is done rather than good
by the practice. Stones in soil serve
more than one useful purpose. When
laying on the surface, they act as a
mulch, checking evaporation. Their
slow decay and disintegration by the
frost and the action of the elements
contribute to the replacement of the
food extracted from the soil by the
roots OF plants. When the staple of
the soil is stiff clay, their action is
particularly beneficial, as they break up
its coherency and modify the texture.
Prof Wrightson, in his handbook of
agriculture, says: "Many soils now
worked as light lands would be unwork-
able clay were they not lightened
up and divided by countless stones. !"
1t is true light, stony soils soon dry up,
the water easily percolating through
them, and, subsoil being generally of
the same character, water is soon
drained away. Further, stones absorb
no moisture, the amount of moisture
absorbed by the soil being in the inverse
ratio (other things being equaD to the
quantity of stones it contains. But re-
moving the stones will not remedy the
evil. That would not add to the stock
of moisture, neither would that removal
increase the quantity of plant food nor
enlarge the extent of root room. With
regard to the aforementioned particular,
the only effect of the removal of the
stones would be to make the soil shall
lower. There is yet another Office per-
formed by stones in the soil. BY break
ing its continuity it checks capillarity
or the upward motion of its moisture to
the surface, thereby indirectly retarding
evaporation. Howbeit, if the subsoil
contained materials of sufficient guam
titv and suitable to the end, and it were
practicable by deep trenching, with the
removal of the stones, to form a soil of
sufficient depth and suitable texture for
the healthy, vigorous growth of plants,
then the carrying out of the operation
might prove an advantage. Gardening

Healthy Men and Healthy Women.

Life is one constant battle against
that dread monster, Disease.
Many succumb prematurely to this
vicious assailant. whose eternal
object is to tear down. wear out and
destroy. A want of energy, want
of stamina, a want of repellant act
ivety on the part of thoughtless in
dividuals causes many to become
easy and apparently willing prey
to this ruin and devastation of
mankind. A remedy composed of
proper herbs and roots that will
build up, repair and strengthen the
weak portions of the human system,
should assidiously be taken at the
approach of disease. Don't wait for
him to obtain a foot-hold, dom wait
until he becomes your master. Meet
his attack at once and promptly.
