Dowdy Gardens.

Some gardens, says the american Gar
den, have look much worse than that of
neglect; they are ''dowdy." One cause for
this is overcrowdin The plants have
neither room, lg 1t, nor air sufficient to en-
able them to develop their forms or flow
ers. Not long since we saw a bed of
balsams of full fifty plants in space one
and one-half feet square; the owner COM
planned bitterly because his flowers were
not SO fine as ours, yet our plants had six
square feet each, and they completely COW
cred the space. Plants should be thinned
soon after they are started to get strong
healthy growth.
Another cause of "dowdy gardens" is
desire to have a little of everything In a
space only sufficient to grow few things
WELL Form and color are so intermixed
that the effect is destro ed; no harmony, no
distinctness, simply ajumble Of color And
still we are asked to admire flowers under
such conditio 9. Aswell might we call an
artists palette picture.
In the kindergarten the same thing is
noticeable Ten times as many plants as
look well or do well are crowded into
given space for fear they will be killed
in the garden. Better have them killed by
Jack Frost than to starve them in the
house or let them exc out miserable exist
ence.
A plant is never so beautiful as when
grown to perfection. This cannot be done
if it is crowded or in the shade of trees or
walls.
1t is better to have a single specimen in
the vigor of health and bloom than floral
hospital A single plant of good zinnia will
adorn garden for three months; whatever
its color may be, there will be none other to
destroy its harmony, and there is no color
but what is pleasing if it does not suffer by
comparison. Plant few Things and give
them living chance.

To Keep Land from Washing.

A South Car lima correspondent of the
Southern CultiuatoT says: 1 find that
great many of our farmers mark off their
terrace lines, throw up a bank of some
sort, then leave the work as Fl lished lob.
and call it "terraced," when in reality they
have merely marked off piece of work
that ordinarily will sand ten or fifteen
years before the land may be called ter
raced" There are but two ways mainly of
terracing land. One Is artificially, by
blowing with hillside plows or working the
earth down to a level otherwise; and the
other is to throw up bank or other OBJ
struction to catch the earth as nature
moves it down the hill by heaving frosts,
washing rains, etc. For just as sure as rain
falls upon shallow plowed lad where clean
culture is practiced, on sloping ground,
asling will occur; ard no one with big
head and small pocketbook need under =
take to pillow these hard hill lands deep
enough to prevent washing at so ne time.
Therefore, the better plan in terracing, as
well as everything else, is to work with ma
ture: that is, let nature work while YOU
plan and keep good obstruction below to
thus ap ropriate her labor. And if your
obstructi N should break, why, just go and
build it up again stronger than ever. the
same as you would your water gaps in your
fence, or the breaks in your ditcaes that had
blown down.
Many years before the war heard very
successful farmer say that the most impor-
tant and most difficult problems of his life
were to know how to make smart men of
his boys and TO prevent his land from wash
ing away, and the way he hit upon to pre-
vent his land from washing away wa very
simple, viz: On all sloping lands he would
mark off section lines upon level at inter-
walls of about three feet fall between. much
on the same plan as terraclng nowadays;
but instead of cultivating the whole field
in the same crop, he planted one land or
section between his marks in small grain,
and the other corn or cotton, alternating
them every year, which prevented washing
In way satisfactory to him, for he had no
dry land bitches on his farm. An idea oc-
ours to me here, that if all our terraced
lands were planted in alternate sections of
small grain and hoed crops, the terracing
plan would work more satisfactorily to
many.
Loose stones placed in line on top of the
ground make first-class terrace bank mot
outstanding the opinion of some at the
Fendleton meeting to the contrary, for we
can show banks in this county four or five
leet high in places, built with loose stones
taken off the land. But these banks were
not made in one year; they we're raised
higher as the earth filed in above, or the
water washed around the ends, with stones

Popular Science.

An underground nut Voandzeid subter-

than butter from the COW, which has the
further advantage of remaining fire h for a
whole year without being saited. Ohly
limited quantities Of this product have as
yet come into the market.
The spark struck from two pieces of flint

by the use of a flint it is necessary that a
piece of pylieS, iron, or steel be used AS
no one has ever found a piece of flint to-

say that he lndi ans knew nothing of this

Capt. Bourke has ascertained fact which
will give to the Indian houses falling into
ruiz somewhat less antiquity than they are
believed 0 possess. He says the difficulty
with which the Indians obtained trees
large enough for beams or roof tim ers
caused them when building new houses or
when moving to a new locality to take all
timber out of the old or deser ed mouse.
This, and not great age, accounts for the
absenl of wood in those houses in dry
coun ries where its decay would occupy
perhaps centuries.
