PUT AGREEMENTS IN WRITING

Farmers a we'll as others should put
matters of agreement between themselves
in writing: that is, such writing aS they
themselves may draw up and which eX-
presses intelligently what is agreed upon.
Many a lawsuit has grown out of a want
of some writing to express the agreement
among parties. 1t is insufficient and UNI
safe to simply talk matter over and
with a 1--WE shan't have any trouble, and
the words "all right" leave the matter
to the memory. Many words of our lam
guage have different significance, ac-

alone will understand thing differently
from what was originally intended.

cadence would not be confined to those
directly engaged in the pursuit, but
would be felt in every nerve of our ma

THE EVILS OF DEFORESTATION

A correspondent of the ChronjcIe of
san Francisco. writing from Europe and
describing the evils resulting from the
destruction of forests, says:
"1hc evils of deforestation have been
so many times rehearsed that it is only
necessary to mention them briefly here.
Trees are necessary in the hills and
mountains to perfect springs and insure
a steady supply of water throughout the
year. If all the trees about sources of
the streams are cut away the springs
flow but Il short time after the winter
rains cease. In early summer they have
disappeared entirely, and with them the
small brooks they have fed, and which

or vanished. Consequently drouth. pow

possibilities ruined with a soil deprived
of it, needed moisture. There is another
evil scarcely less serious. This results
from the foundations which almost an
nually devastate those parts of Europe
which in the long course of ages have
been gradually denuded of their forest

HOW BEST TO TREAT THE POTA-

Again some writers are talking of the
economy of manipulating potato beetles.
'lf this is well attended to. there will be

do they write such stuff because it seems
plausible: Years ago We diligently

but it is like removing IA mound of earth
pebble by pebble. or emptying tub OF

appreciable effect. We have tried every
method of killing potato beetles For
one entire season we tried lOndon-purple
but found that if applied the least Bit toe

DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

The failure of many potato crops. last
Where potatoes are grown largely the
loss TO farmers was Il serious one: but it
will teach them wholesome lesson. not
to rely on one crop, or even two or three,
exclusively. Even those farmers who
grow only enough potatoes for their own
use will be taught the same lesson on a
smaller scale. When potatoes rottcd
many farmers did not have a bountful
supply of other vegetables to take their
place. This spring they will plant more
carrots. par>nipS. satisfy. bccts. cabbage
and turnips. and then. whether pota-
toes rot or not. they will fare better
than ever before. The potato is unqueS-
tionably most valuable vegetable. hut
there is such thing a. depending on it
out of all reason. The Irish learned this
lesson 10 years ago. and 50 may we,
though it is hoped not in so severe a
school. Though bread is the staff OF
life. we are told that man shall not liv,
by bread alone. Potatoes are still less
