demands nor so serious In its obliga-
tons as perfect freedom. 1t has a Joy
Of its own. but not Of the giddy and
careless kind. There are continual

undone, all fraught with consequences

spOnsIbility Is present, and In the same
proportion.

cases the fine silt will help to improve
the texture and greatly increase the
Water-holding power. Aside from

amount of fertilizing ingredients
which it contains is very large, and
hence such water is valuable upon
any land suitable for irrigation. This
being true, it will often be found de-
