Society and the Girl.

A young woman in St. Louis who re-

upon a life of shame gave as an ex-
cue for her conduct that she could not

she was too proud to earn her bread
with the labor OF her hands in town

1t is evident that something is wrong
with society or with the girl. or with
both. A pride which revots at manual
labor and willingly embraces disgrace
is something altogether too common in
this day, though it is very rare that we
find any one who confesses to its pos
session. A great many men have been
brought to ruin in the same way,
taking different paths it may be, but
bringing up at the same place. The
girl in question appears to have chosen

GRASS ROOTS.
How Moving Fields and Pastures Should
be Conserved

How Moving Fields and Pastures Should
be Conserved
Intelligent farmers who have given
the subject attention, are fully aware
that many moving fields and pastures
are greatly injured by having the grass
roots exposed to the extreme heat of
summer and the excessive cold of win
ter. Nature if left to herself, gives the
roots full protection, both winter and
summer. by covering them in the sum-
mer with the growing tops, and in the
winter by the tops that are dead. Man
removes this protection, and he
usually does it in the hottest portion of
the year, often cutting the grass so
near the roots that there is but little
left to protect them from a scorching
July sun; but if a rain follows in few
days after cutting the grass, new
crop will start up, and is soon high
enough to fully protect the roots, but
if no rain comes the roots are dried up
to an extent that greatly Injuries if it
does not kill them. Should a second
crop grow, it is cut as close to the
ground as possible and the roots are
once more exposed to the hot dry
weather. Should the weather be wet
and third crop grow, this is often fed
off so close just before winter sets in
that there is nothing left to protect the
grass roots from the sudden changes of
winter.
The pastures are often fed so close in
the early part of the season that when
drouth comes the grass roots, many
of them, are killed for the want of pro-
lection. In the autumn the cattle are
kept at pasture until every spear of
grass is gnawed of close to the roots,
thus leaving them exposed during the
entire winter. With such treatment it
must be expected that pastures will rap
idly run out, and that the moving
fields will show in the spring many
spots where the grass roots have been
winter-killed.
IL moving fields are to be kept in
good condition care must be taken not
to cut either the first or second crop too
enough to leave sufficient length of
stubble to protect the roots from the
hot sun and drying winds; and when
autumn comes the land should not be
fed SO close, that when cold weather
sets in there is nothing left to shelter
the grass roots during the winter. A
little care in this respect will keep the
moving field up in good condition
with the application OF but a moderate
amount of manure.
The pasture should receive equal care
with the moving field; it should not
be overfed during the dry season, or
just before winter sets in. Many pas
lures are thus greatly injured. The
exposure of the roots of the grass kills
them out. and in their places spring up
undesirable weeds, or perhaps a growth
of worse.
There are yet many farmers who
need to pay more attention to the pro-
lection of the roots of the grass, in
both their moving fields and pastures.

The american C,sltsrutor states
that with the disuse of wood fires there

for the difficulty in growing fruit. No

spring, that it may be washed into the
SOIL If applied in the fall it may make
some OF the fertility of the soil soluble
and be washed away before the trees
can use it Where wood ashes can not
be had in quantity the German potash
salts are the best substitute, and a
quantity should be got now for use in
