1t Is not necessary to have a fine
house or fancy cottage, or expensive

naments on the house and the free

and shrubs. A shady lawn and a
shady driveway are always attractive.
Groups of trees. shrubs or flowers new

home place ornamented with them
does not fail to convey the impression
that peace and contentment dwell
there. AS a lady from the city said,

BREAK UP THE CRUST.
In Working the Soil Most Farmers
Too Often Forget the Great
Law OF CapiIIarity.

When rain falls on heavy soils, the
the spaces between the soil particles
are very small After the rain, the
sun and the wind begin their work,
and the evaporation from the soil
causes it to form crust. This crust,
While preventing the air from reaching
the roots of the plants, serves as
medium through which the water in
the soil may the more readily pass
of, without going through the plants.
The latter, therefore, often seem at
standstill in their growth. The wa
ter must not be permitted to pass out
of the soil except through the plants,
if we are able to prevent 1t, and we can
to large extent prevent this by break
ing up the crusts as soon as they form.
This generally occurs after heavy rain.
The heavier the rain the firmer the crust
is likely to be.
We too often forget the great law
of capillarity that is working in our
soils. Those who have not given at
tention to this matter imagine that
not true, at least for any length OF
time. When there is a down-pour a
plant may take up wateY, If 1t be
thirsty for it, but it is probable that it
takes UP water only in certain pro-
portion to its food 1t cannot gorge
its cells with water minus food. Most
of the water it takes is drawn up from
the lower portions of the soil by
capillary attraction, and the film
of water is surrounded by larger bulk
of air and by these two the plant
food in the soil is made available for
the plant. Now, the hard-packed soil
is soil with great power of drawing
up water. Some one has described
the sun and the wind as the pumps OF
the Lord to draw moisture out of the
earth. The saying is largely true.
But these pumps should be made by
man to draw moisture out of the
leaves Of our plants, that growth may
be celerated:-Farmers Review.

FIG i
SOIL CONDITIONS.


pores of the soil to some natural outlet
without causing any undue accumula-
ton at any point. Another condition
requiring the application of an artificial
outlet is where a fine clay soil is over
laid by more porous one as in Fig. 1.
The water passing more readily through
the upper soil will, in seeking it's level,
be carried into the finer soil much fast
er than it can get away. To produce
this condition there need not be very
great difference In the porosity of the
two soils, neither is it essential that
the lower soil be an extremely fine
grained one 1t is simply a problem
Of trying to force the stream from a
large pipe into a smaller one Such a
condition may occur where the slope is
steep, or where it is very gradual. The
result may vary from slight Interior
ence with cultivation in very wet times
to constant Doggy condition of por-
ton of the more impervious soil area.
Still another condition that can be
relieved only by artificial means is where
a stratum of sand crops out at some
place on slope as in Fig. 2. The char
acter of the soil everything the layer Of
sand is immaterial. Whether closed
or open, it will drain into the sand,
which, being SO very open, allows the
water to flow readily to the nearest out
let If the sand is coarse enough, the
volume Of water carried large enough,
and the outlet is confined to one point,
a flowing spring is the result. Other
wise a more or less wet condition ex-
lists on the slope below the outcrop, as at
a. This condition Is likely to extend
for long distance in horizontal line
around the stope. This water may be
concentrated into a running spring and
the wet condition of the hillside rem
edied by running line of tile along the
outcrop of the same stratum. A very
common error in attempting to drain
such a wet place on hillside is to place
the tile too far down the slope, as at a,
where here is perhaps the most water in
the surface soil. It will be readily seen
from the figure that with such an ar
rangement the soil between the tile and
the sand layers would still be wet, as the
water would have to pass Through it to
reach the tile. The proper place for the
line Of tile is along the bottom of the
sand stratum Cat b. to catch the water
before it enters the surface soil Of the
'lower slope.-Prairie Farmer.

A Boys Victory.

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept. l4.-Orbra Young,
the ten-year-old son of Lester Young, of this
place, is a bright boy, and one who is very
we'll liked by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered great
deal with form of Kidney Trouble which
was very annoying, and which made him mis-
cradle all the time. He had to get up three
or four times every night, almost all his
life
His father heard of remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and bought some for the lit
tie fellow with the result that he is now COM
pletely cured of the old trouble. He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me great
relief, and now can sleep all night without
having to get up: We will always praise
Dodd's Kidney Pills"
There are many children suffering from
Kidney and Urinary troubles. These dis
orders should be promptly corrected. Dodd s
Kidney Pills is a safe and sure remedy for
all such arrangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his trou-
bles and made well boy of himself by using
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and any one may do
the same by the same means.
Parents should see to it that their children
are given fair chance in life, and there is
nothing that can undermine the health of
a growing child as much as Kidney and Uri-
nary arrangements.

Burning Straw Is a Waste.

It would almost seem impossible
that there are still to be found farm
ers in the central west who adopt the
practice of burning the straw. 1t is
not surprising that this plan of get
ting rid of the straw was practiced in
the early days, for the reason that
soils in this belt were highly charged
with vegetable matter. and indeed
were in no sense improved by the ap,
plication of humus. But the cropping
of soils for period Of thirty or forty
years works a decided change in the
methods that are to be employed in
their cultivation The time has Ger.
tainly arrived in the central west
when it will not pay to burn straw

NOTES ON DRAINAGE.
What Must Be Done in Places Where
Artificial UnderdraiHage Is
Necessary.

There are different conditions Of soil
where insufficient natural underdrain-
age is likely to result on land having a
god slope to its surface. One is where
the soil is very fine clay, with pores SO
small that water can pass through them
but slowly. In removing the surplus wa
ter from such soils the natural pores are
capable only of acting as laterals for a
short distance. Artificial outlets or chan
nels must be supplied at frequent inter
walls, into which they may empty. On
similar slopes where the soil is more
porous, the same amount of surplus wa
ter might be able to pass on through the

President Roosevelt Closes Incident
at Dinner of the Seawan-

Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept 49,
President Roosevelt was the guest Of
honor Friday night at the annual din
ner ofthe Seawanhaka-C orinthiany yacht
club at it's handsome and spacious
home on Center Island, in Oyster Bay.
While many men prominently identi-
fed with yachting in the east were
present and the dinner was hand
some and delightful affair, as func-
ton it was not SO elaborate as the din
ner committee originally had planned
The president about o'clock escort
ed by Lieut.. Charles F. Preston, COM
mander of the naval yacht Sylph, and
Midshipman Hammer entered a launch
at j. West Roosevelt pier and proceed
ed to the yacht club house across the
bay. He was met at the club landing
by Chairman Colgate Hoyt, of the
board of trustees, and other officials of
the club, and escorted to the club
house. His entrance elected applause
and cheers
Immediately after the arrival of the
president, the guests, who numbered
about 100, sat down to dinner. 1t was
an informal affair, the various courses
being interspersed with songs by glee
clubs, in which nearly all the guests
joined. Vice Commodore William J..
Matheson, of the Seawanhaka Yacht
club, was the master of ceremonies.
In a graceful speech he introduced
President Roosevelt, who was received
with great applause, all the guests
standing. The president spoke in part
as follows:
During the past summer all have
been deeply interested in the interna-
tional yacht races. 1t was Is years
ago when the first Of the single-stick-
ers came to begin that great duel which
has been a feature of yachting inter-
ests during all these years. 1t is not
wise to boast when We put our arnor
a curious fact that not only has our
boat won the championships, out every
race of the series. We owe debt of
gratitude to the designers, the cap
tains and the Seamen who contributed
to the winning of the races by the
American boats.
Now, l am going to ask you TO
drink to the health of ali our gallant
opponents Of the last Is years. and
especially to The health of Sir Thomas
Upton, whom we had hoped to have
with us tonight"
At this mention Of Sir Thomas Lip
tons name the guests rose and
cheered enthusiastically, and the toast
was drunk with equal spirit
Commodore Bourne spoke briefly.
He said it was unfortunate that when
Sir Thomas Upton was about to leave
this country with only pleasant men,
cries, even at his defeat, he should be
confined 10 sick bed in Chicago.
Just before the close of the dinner
a message was sent 20 Sir Thomas Lip
ton expressing the disappointment OF
the club members at his illness and re-
gret at his absence, and informing
him that President Roosevelt had pro-
posed his health and expressed best
wishes for his speedy recovery.
1t was almost II o'clock when Prss-
ident Roosevelt was escorted by mem
bers of the club to his launch and
started on his journey across the bay.
AS he left the landing he was given
three hearty cheers.

Changing Stock in Pasture.

1t is not best when it can be avoided
to keep all kinds of stock in the same
pasture, or keep one kind of stock in
the same pasture too long at one time.
The idea in changing is, that one kind
of stock may like the kind of grass that
another may not eat, and in order to
lessen the waste as much as possible it
is best to change. Usually sheep can fol-
low cattle to good advantage. as they
will eat much that cattle will refuse.
