a secluded place with her, he fopped

TUE idea that the shade of weeds in
hoed crops saves the soil from drying up
is not 50 prevalent as 1t once was. 1t is
sometimes urged even now, but only as
a pretext for shirkiny, and should Iank

in the mouth of the sluggard against

his disinclination to do the work re-
Quired. a weed uprooted serves as a
mulch, but it is not advisable to let 1t
get large enough for this use. 1t will
do the soil more good to aIry a weed
as soon as large enough to be seen than
to wait for a larger growth. In the soil
the moisture it has drawn from il will
again become availsk-e for growing
crops.

IL is customary to use ammonia for
the purpose OF neutralizlng acids that
