The School Savings system is to be
extended in Augusta. Miss COttle and
Miss Edgecomb have both volunteered
to take up the work and others of the
teachers in the Village district are
thinking seriously of it. In the other
school rooms where it is already in
operation it is working as pleasingly
as in the first few weeks. When all the
schools adopt it the sum saved by the
scholars in a year will make a sur
prising amount, even though it Is
saved in small sums.

row the Ground warm. Up.

There are what are called cold lands
and warm lands The difference In
the rapidly with which land warns up
is OF value to the farmer, according to
the crop he intends to place on it.
The porosity of soil determines to
q great extent the facility with which
it will take in heat in the springtime.
The land that is heavy and has no
drain under it, either artificial OF
natural. will hold the water till most
of lit evaporates under the heat of
the sun. This process of evaporation
does not improve the soil till the
process is completed. The act of
making vapor Incorporates a great
deal of heat with the water to change
1t into vapor, just as certainly as 1t
requires heat in the teakettle to change
the water in it into vapor. In the
latter case the act is apparent, and in
the first case it is not visible, but 1t Is
nevertheless the same. No particle of
water in the soil can be changed into
vapor without heat being furnished
for the operation. This heat is drawn
mostly from the ground, partly from
the sun. This renders the ground not
warmer but colder till the water has
evaporated. Could that surface water
be drawn off from below the loss of
heat by evaporation would be avoided.
In that case the land gets all the heat
that the sun sends 1t. Moreover, the
warm spring rains then sink into the
ground carrying with them the heat
they have obtained from the atmos-
phere warmed by the sun. The differ
ence between land that is SO porous
that the water sinks into it and. runs
off from below and land where the
water has to evaporate by the action
of the air is sometimes as much as
10 degrees. Land that is porous thus
becomes warm enough for plants to
grow in it weeks before heavy soggy
land.
